Ethry had been learning from Mira about alchemy when her soul stirred. At first, she worried Lind had been hurt but instead she felt joy!
His progenitor path had been solidified! Warmth spread through her and the world fell away as her own soul path was still connected to him.
At that moment, the obstruction of the Law Binding fell away but that was when she felt his emotions.
There was the joy and liberation of settling to his path but also terror and anger. The anger seemed to be from several sources but the terror was new. Something Lind was experiencing was scaring him.
She tried to reach out but a barrier still stood between them so she could only look on, but then something changed.
A new presence came into her bond! Her eyes narrowed but then calmed as she felt the new presence was so weak and near death.
A variant bloodline was being brought into their connection and based on how it felt, it would have died if he had not acted.
