Is It Important To Consummate The Bond?

Yula did something with her fingers, and in response, a small mirror with a wooden handle came flying from one of the drawers of Ember's dresser.

"Miss, I want you to see what I am seeing," she heard Yula say. "Take a good look at yourself in this mirror."

With her hands shivering a little for some unknown reason, Ember held the handle of that mirror floating in front of her and stared at the reflection of her image.

There was nothing wrong with it, though she found her expression unfamiliar due to her pink color on her cheeks that seemed to be spreading to the rest of her face. Her gaze followed her neck where she saw that crimson blossom tattoo but…there was more. Her neck had some reddish marks that looked like small fading bruises and those surprised her.
