Bab 94: Chapter 21: An Unexpected Savior [8]

Ardyn stared as Luke gently took his hand and moved his fingers across the palm, pale blue lights shining from each one. The sight mesmerized Ardyn for a moment. Even though it was bright due to the sun, this shade of blue stood out, the color so vivid and soothing.

The next moment, Ardyn felt a soothing sensation on his palm, one that flowed through his arm like water. It was hard to describe; it was like a mixture of tenderness, warmth, and uncertainty, as if the thoughts of the wielder poured into him. It was a feeling similar to the one he had felt when Evan had shown him his magic at the lighthouse yesterday, a magic with an essence so pure and disarming that it made him relax considerably.

But with Luke, it was just slightly different. It was more pronounced, more nuanced, more complex. There was warmth and empathy, but there was also hesitation and confusion.
