Arthur stared at the ball of raging flames in his mind's eye in complete and utter shock. 'When did…'
Never in his life had his core ever been this hot and filled with flames… well, except for when he dreamt of moments like this… but it had never actually happened to him before.
He didn't even think he was capable of containing this much fire within him. 'The healing!' Now it made sense that he'd healed that fast.
Arthur's rage that morning had unleashed the flames that lay dormant within his core. Then again, he couldn't remember his core being this potent before.
On the bright side, this would make him far more powerful than he was before, maybe even more powerful than Gray. This thought was quickly eclipsed by Gray's brutal demonstration of demonic skill earlier that morning… 'Aha! Maybe not…'
"What's taking so long? You okay?" Gray's voice interrupted his fantasies.
