Eden looked at Alicia's face which lit up and he followed the direction of her eyes. His head lowered to his chest and he saw the light piercing through the mesh of his sweater.

"Oh! The Moon protection mark!" he said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Before the old witch could react, a red will-o'-the-wisp similar to the one that had taken refuge in the witch's body to warm her appeared and rushed towards Eden. Without any hesitation, it entered the werewolf's body.

"What the…? What's gotten into it? Why is it acting like that?" cried Eden as he lifted the sweater.

He immediately felt his body warming up. The feeling was not the most pleasant for a werewolf who already has a high temperature.

When the fabric revealed his skin, they had a better view of what was happening. A rune the size of a ping pong ball had appeared where the will-o'-the-wisp had entered and several circles of smaller runes traced around it, as the spell was activating.
