Chapter 60 - Long Wait (1/2)

They appeared in the mountains in a woodland area, Sigyn still not thrilled at the way she was rushed out of her home, kept quiet while glaring at Theoric.

Theoric who was looking around could feel her stare- ”I can feel your stare boring into the back of my skull.”

Sigyn gave a humph- ”You better explain yourself this instant, and whats with that sack you have, I could swear I saw it moving.”

Theoric adjusted the sack on his shoulder- ”This is just a present for a friend, but it is the reason why we had to rush to leave, I'm sorry about that.” he said stroking her cheek with his free hand.

Sigyn placed her hand over his looking intently at him- ”I trust you, so what now?” she asked looking around at the surrounding woods.

Theoric- ”Now we hike out of here, give me a second and I'll find out which way.”

He formed an energy platform underneath himself growing it to a height where he could spot something.

Lowering himself back down he pointed to the nearest signs of life- ”There seems to be a small village over that way, we'll head there for now and find a map to see where we are exactly, it may take a day to get there though.”

Sigyn, however, wasn't listening as she felt something happening inside her- ”Theo.” she called out in worry. as the feeling increased.

Theoric hearing the distress in her voice turned to see what was wrong- ”Sigyn?” he asked dropping the sack, arriving next to her to hold her steady. ”What's wrong?”

Sigyn who was now being supported by Theoric had her eyes closed as she concentrated on the feeling, unable to hear him.

Theoric grew more worried from not being answered, momentarily forgetting in his fl.u.s.ter that he could heal. Gritting his teeth at his own stupidity he gently lowered her with his right arm as support as he lifted his left hand to heal.

He could now see that her body was going through a change as his power flowed through her. Seeing something unusual he pushed the power deeper into her, noticing a core of power in the center of her c.h.e.s.t that was rapidly expanding. He went to probe it only to have the power erupt upon contact blasting away his concentration as Sigyn body shot out a holy light from her 7 orifices and then blasting out through the forest.

Theoric looked on as she changed, her hair was now wavy blond and she now had green eyes.

Sigyn looked up to Theoric- ”What happened?”

Theoric shook his head- ”I don't know, tell me how you feel, your eyes and hair changed color.”

Sigyn alarmed asked- ”What!” quickly taking out a mirror to check herself out as she sat up.

She started muttering- ”Oh no, oh no, oh no.” then she clasped it shut and quickly looked away from Theoric.

Theoric confused asked- ”Sigyn? are you ok?”

Sigyn turned around with watering eyes- ”Do you still love me?”

Theoric laughed- ”Pfft, what are you asking you silly girl?”

Sigyn- ”But you always said you loved my unique blue hair and red eyes and was glad I wasn't just another blonde.”

Theoric grinned- ”Ah well, actually the main thing I loved was that you were different and that most others won't look twice at you so I only had to fight off a few men rather than everyone, you see most men like lighter colors so now that your hair is a lighter color, I'll now have many more men to put in their place to keep you all to myself.”
