Mesmerizing Glow

Lex took one step, and paused.

That was odd. He sensed his affinity act on its own, and do something. He had no idea what it did, but he could tell that it was merely responding according to changes in his body. It seemed like… besides just putting a seal on his affinity, he had used some kind of technique that would automatically use his affinity, since grasping it currently seemed outside his realm of understanding.

But if it was outside his realm of understanding, how had he used this technique to begin with? 

His attention was once again reverted to the seal in his mind, but the dread that accompanied it once again took hold of him. It was so strong that he could physically feel the emotion of dread.

"Ugh," Lex groaned, and turned his attention back to the matter at hand. It seemed like, for whatever reason, he had found a solution to his problem. At least that's what it seemed like.
