Kratos stops his deliberate draw and his outer wings fade much the same way his faceted wings had before -- from the inside out, and leaving a lingering tingle of power in the air echoed only by the sub-audible hum from his passive wings. When Kratos breathes in, he almost feels as though he's tasting earth stone, and that odd combination of human and elf, from Raine.]
