Chen Ke grasped Lucina's hand, feeling the temperature in his palm slowly vanish. Lucina also sensed something—she frowned and seemed about to pull her hand back.
"What's wrong? Do you feel anything?" Chen Ke asked.
He had never handed over the Inheritance to someone else before, so he was unsure what would happen next.
"It's a bit hot... it's like holding a scalding roasted chestnut," Lucina replied.
"You've eaten roasted chestnuts before?" Chen Ke laughed.
"They're sold in Chinatown over in Norton City," Lucina said, her worried gaze shifting to their clasped hands as if the searing pain was becoming unbearable.
"What's it feel like now?" Seeing Lucina's concern, Chen Ke asked with care.
"It's getting hotter, Chen Ke. What is this?" Lucina said.
"This is... a type of magic power from another era that can turn you into the Flame Witch," Chen Ke replied.
"Sounds... good? So, I can spit fire then?" Lucina asked.
"Where do you plan to spit it from?" Chen Ke chuckled.
