A Stain of Blood in the Snow (Part 4)

Daniel and Alesia decided to spend the following moments in silence, enjoying each other's company while embracing one another. However, along with the happiness that invaded Daniel's heart and mind was a lingering feeling, which constantly reminded him that something within his body had changed forever. 

After about a minute spent in between feelings of happiness and confusion, Daniel suddenly recalled that it was not over yet, so he grabbed Alesia's shoulders, and gently moved her back. He then alternated between looking at her, and the space where the resounding sounds of ongoing battle were coming from.
