…What was that?
Both Felix and Julien stood in place, their faces and minds blank.
The ball bounced off the wall, and fell on the ground, rolling into the crowd, but neither of them cared.
What had just happened?
To the onlookers, it might have seemed that Julien had been distracted for a moment, which caused him to miss the ball. Somewhat understandable, after such a long, intense game, which had to put a lot of strain on him… But Felix and Julien felt that something was odd.
Especially Felix. For Julien, it was as if he had blanked out and lost control of his body for a second, but it was too short to fully grasp what was happening. And as odd as it felt, it could be just that he was tired, so his focus slipped. But Felix…
Felix had seen Julien's eyes. The way they seemed to have lost their shine, but at the same time, they seemed to have flashed with golden light… It was just a split second, and it could have been just a trick of the eye, but it seemed almost like… magic.
