Adrian woke up in his castle with Annie sitting by his bed and Meggie sitting near the door.
" How are you?" He asked Annie with a soft exhausted voice as soon as he opened his eyes.
She nodded with a smile and wiped the tears off her face, " Yeah, I'm great." She hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
Adrian didn't push her away, he looked past her at Meggie, she opened her mouth then closed it.
" I'm glad you're okay." She whispered, " I'll leave now." She stood up and stared intently at him.
Adrian said nothing, Meggie left the castle and went back to her hut leaving the couple on their own.
" What happened?" Adrian asked, he had no recollection of what happened after he fell into the sea.
" I feel stronger? Did I break through again?" He flexed his muscles but his physical strength felt the same.
His esper was just as pure and had not increased either, however there was something else that changed.
