Chapter 140 Bond
The hawk was still bound by his spell; he would have liked to release it, but the notification he received made him wary.
He wasn’t bonded enough to use the hawk skills, but that wasn’t the problem, since they weren’t bonded, if he freed it and let it outside, it would probably fly away once its wings were healed a little.
’This is a closed space so it wouldn’t be able to leave even though it wants to, I’ll release the spell and see’
Roman stood up and backed some distance away from the hawk, then stretched his hands forward, and the hardened blood around the hawk broke apart, freeing the wings.
The hawk immediately stood up and flapped its wings, but it had a hard time moving one of them, the injured one, then it turned towards Roman and let out a screech.
Roman was focused, with his Mana extremely low, he couldn’t cast any spells as that would render him unconscious, but the hawk couldn’t fly, so it wouldn’t be able to hit and run like it did earlier.
Both of them were now staring at themselves, and since the hawk showed no sign of attacking, Roman began to close the distance between them, till he was just one step away, and it still hadn’t moved.
’Has it surrendered because I’m stronger or what, Since I’ve tamed it, it shouldn’t be aggressive towards me, but I still haven’t gained its trust’
Roman bent down, his hand hovering for a second before he touched the hawk’s body. Its feathers felt softer than he thought, warm under his palm.
The hawk didn’t move. It just stood there, breathing fast, its sharp eyes locked on him.
Roman’s heart was still pounding, but slowly, he moved his hand along its back, almost like petting a dog.
Its feathers ruffled a bit under his touch, but it didn’t hiss or snap.
