Extra's Rise: I Stole All The Women In The Hero's Party

She chuckled. "Among other things. But more importantly, it’s a conduit for a transformation — a gift, if you will — that only witches of royal blood can bestow."

Zayn raised an eyebrow. "Transformation? Like turning me into a toad or something?"

"Not quite," she said, suppressing a giggle. "It’s a bit more... dramatic."

"Define ’dramatic’."

She leaned in slightly, her eyes locking onto his. "Soul energy exists everywhere right?"

He nodded as she raised her hand and it flared around her palms, her soul energy was a vibrant pink and it wrapped around it like flames

"When your body is on the brink of death, it generates a unique kind of soul energy. This energy acts as a trigger, activating the mark and initiating the transformation."

Zayn frowned. "So, I have to nearly die to unlock this surprise feature? Sounds... safe."

She shrugged. "Desperate times, desperate measures. It’s designed as a last resort."

He rubbed his temples, processing the information. "And what exactly do I transform into? Please don’t say a pumpkin."

The Witch Princess’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. "You’ll have to find out when the time comes. But rest assured, it’s something formidable."
