Lost in his thoughts he stood for an unknown amount of time observing himself in that mirror until finally his gaze crossed the room, exactly next to the door where there was a bell tied to a thick thread coming from a small hole in the ceiling. He had been told by the maid who took him to the room that once he was ready, he should ring the bell and someone would arrive to guide him to see the imperial consultant. But instead of walking, Raiko raised his hand, pointing a finger in the direction of the mentioned object and quickly his finger was covered with a reddish liquid that probably came out of the small pores of his skin yet strangely the blood did not drip, it looked like a protective cloak around the area. Suddenly a thin red line began to emerge from his finger, it was as thin as a thread and it quickly reach the bell, wrapping itself around it, and with a little pull of force caused it to make a sound, echoing inside the room. And as quickly as the thread appeared, it contracted along the same path it had taken until it disappeared along with the reddish hue his finger.
