The effect of his words was immediate and dramatic. Zephyr's eyes widened, a mix of shock and excitement flashing across his face. The mana in the room surged, responding to his sudden spike of emotion.
"It's really happening? So soon?!" His body shook, eagerness flowing through him as he momentarily forgot about the troubles stacked upon him.
A rising light of hope began to shimmer in his once dark, moody eyes. Various matters that were like anchors on his soul began to seem brighter.
This event could truly be it, a way to reverse the turn his life had taken ever since Gladius and Arianna joined them. The very air around him seemed to lighten, the oppressive weight of his recent failures lifting for a moment.
But as Zephyr thought of Gladius and Arianna, he suddenly paused. The light in his eyes dimmed slightly, replaced by a calculating gleam. He furrowed his brows as he leveled a look at Noble Kyler.
