Why did Maximus look so shocked? She was puzzled. Her hair looked the same as it did the day before. Though she had to admit that she felt different. Her confidence had surged and her vision was much clearer. She wondered whether it was an effect of Bardumond's herbs. But… "my eyes!"
She yelped in shock when she saw it happen. Her eyes were transforming, the irises looking golden. Her pupils looked like a pair of red flames.
"No!" She cried out, and the mirror before her went up in flames and shattered into pieces in the next second.
"My lady?" Maximus knocked on the door when he heard her scream.
"Where is she?" Dairon was behind him before he could get a response from Jasmine. "Jasmine. Where is she and what happened to her?" He grabbed the man by the back of his robe and lifted him in the air.
"She's in there!" Maximus yelled, and sighed in relief when Dairon let him go. An angry demigod was the last thing he wanted to deal with.
