The night air carried a colder heavier temperature which Jace looked at the spot where the Phantom Fox vanished. Shallow breaths escaped through his mouth as his muscular frame experienced intense chest pain which identified his physical delicacy. The eerie words of the Phantom Fox bottled inside Jace's thoughts creating an ominous musical pattern which he felt in his heart.
"The bonding process between your beads and the other being has already taken effect."
As Jace placed his fingers on his chest he could feel the barely noticeable pulse that emerged from the fox bead implanted there. Although the glow from his fox bead remained feeble like burning embers it gave him unease because of its previous rejection of the Phantom Fox's touch. His bead's internal power acted as protection against the sinister forces which seems unnatural for such phenomenon. He failed to comprehend the significance of the event nor understand how it transpired but it became obvious.
