Yup it's normal; it means that your Beloved (the person that The Dragon 'abducts') will be the person you gave the Arisen's Bond to in this playthrough.

If the Beloved ends up being somebody other than the one gifted the Arisen's Bond, or the Arisen's Bond wasn't given to anyone, then the short cutscene of the Arisen's Bond falling from the sky won't happen, and thus won't be there to pick up.
