Arioch saw the unflinching blue eyes staring at him and he felt something at the pit of his stomach. But he pushed through the feeling and inched closer. She wasn't even blinking and it felt odd for him.
*Bling*
A sudden flash of light formed on her forehead in between her eyebrows blinding him. Covering his eyes with the back of his hand, Arioch backed off. The light still was burning his eyes and he stood up and stepped back.
Only after he reached twenty feet away from her did the light go off. He watched her taking a glance at him, turning to the side and as if nothing happened, she went to sleep.
It took some time for Arioch to compose himself. He fisted his hands as he realized what just happened. She has a protective spell around her.
The Marking Spell!
