The brief pushing from Myra was just enough to stir Darius from his slumber. It was not instantaneous, but it broke him away from his "dream" and back to reality. Darius' eyes slowly opened revealing their new deep red hue as he gazed upon both of his female companions in the room with him.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Why are you looking at me like that…"[/color] 

[color=darkgray][i]"...subtle changes…"[/i][/color] 

[color=mediumpurple]'What did he do?!"[/color] Darius sat up quickly and slipped out of the bed covers in a near panic. He immediately went to the mirror on the bedroom dresser. [Color=mediumpurple]"What?! What the fuck?! My eyes! My hair!"[/color] Darius soon sighed before feeling a tingling sensation on his wrist. As he looked down and pulled his sleeve back, he noticed a peculiar mark. [Color=mediumpurple]"Proof of the covenant…"[/color] He whispered to himself. Darius rolled his sleeve back with a look of discomfort. His eyes found Artemis and Myra again as he whipped back around to face then [Color=mediumpurple][i]I don't want to worry them, especially Myra.[/i][/color]

Darius smiled, trying to ease any worries the two might have. He almost felt like he was explaining how there was no way he was cheating on his girlfriend after being caught with some questionable direct messages in his inbox.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Okay, don't worry about my face. I… Myra, remember the red crystal?"[/color] Darius motioned his hands to mimic how he had smashed the crystal in his palm. [Color=mediumpurple]"It had this weapon thing inside and now I have it."[/color] He tried to go for a simple explanation. Darius looked into the mirror again with an uneasy look before turning back to the ladies. [Color=mediumpurple]"It makes me look a little weird, but I'm…better. Honestly, I feel good and..."[/color] Darius smirked before he flexed his biceps and making that constipated looking face he thought many bodybuilders made while posing. He wasn't even more muscular than he already was. 

Even with his goofy antics, he wasn't sure if they would accept his explanation.

[Color=mediumpurple]"I promise, I'm fine."[/color] Darius presented his pinky to Myra, this time with a more serious tone and a look of confidence. He didn't want Myra to worry too much and not lose faith in him. His eyes shifted to Artemis for a moment. He wondered what the mermaid was thinking. She hadn't expressed what she really wanted for herself yet. [Color=mediumpurple][i]She seems to like hanging with us, but does she know what that completely entails? I should tell her. I wouldn't want to drag a stranger into this mess I got myself into, especially not after everything she's seems to have already been through.[/i][/color]
