[Third - Person]
A warm glow spreads in all directions. At the epicenter of this phenomenon sits a small girl. Her Hair is a blonde color with strands of dim silver mixed in between. Her face is adorned with cute dimples. A small mouth and pearl white teeth. High cheekbones and a soft skin, in the process of turning into a pronounced light brown. Her eyes are closed preventing a possible onlooker a view on her dim, emerald-green eyes encircled by a small golden line. Her chest extends into A-Cup breasts. Moving further down, an onlooker with a keen eye could spot a slowly growing six-pack. Small and modest but slowly and surely growing into a pack of muscles. Her arms and legs thin and weak, slowly extend and grow an extra layer of muscles.
The girl, previously looking like she is somewhere around 4-5 years old, grows and transforms into a girl around the age of 9. Jumping over 4-5 years of bodily growth. Her arms and legs stretch and her muscles become slightly more pronounced. Her hair grows to hip length and her face gains the countenance of a small lady. An innocent and pure brilliance exudes from her face. Her waist becomes smaller while gaining a feeling of concealed strength. Her abdominal muscles ready to spring into action, resembling a tiger on the hunt.
Her hands are stretched in front of her holding onto a small ball of transparent material, something that resembles ore. From all around her small chards of ruby-red material float towards her hands and fuse into the small ball. Here the red color splits and gathers in front of her chest, forming small pellets and floating alongside a dozen other pellets rotating around a slightly bigger sphere of red and orange color. The red pellets emit orange particles which fuse into the sphere.
Over hours this process continues. Red shards gather and split into transparent and red particles. The red particles fuse into the red pellets and split into red and orange. The transparent energy fuses with the ball in her hands, turning into gas that slowly seeps through crusted wounds on her hand right into her bloodstream. At the contact with her skin, the transparent gas fuses with a bronze colored energy attaining its properties. All over her body, her veins are clearly visible from the outside. Bronze colored energy slowly travels in circles all around her body congregating near her organs and lastly her skin before extinguishing.
Hours pass and a squirrel watches the process carefully and patiently, clearly aware of the immense importance the girl puts on this transformation. At the same time, the squirrel is captivated by the colors circling through the air, the Pellets rotating around the beautiful red and orange sphere.
The flowers gently swaying with a non-existent wind breezing through the air, bringing a cooling sensation. But the squirrel is not lazy. Utilizing the residual energy present all around the girl it absorbs the particles touching its soft fur and inhaling as many particles as possible. Relying on the ancient cultivation of all beasts and animals it slowly strengthens its body. Hoping to become stronger.
The only stain in this picturesque scene is the slowly growing pool of blood below the girls' hands sickering into the ground. But there is too much blood. The blood cannot sicker in the ground and spreads towards its surroundings seeking its path.

"You're awake." states the squirrel, seeing that no more shards are floating towards the girl's hands. The ball has faded and her hands are empty.
Slowly opening her eyes the girl turns her head and shows a brilliant smile.
"I did not know that I would enter a trance while absorbing the energy but it was very helpful. I had a lot of time to study some information."
"I'm happy for you. I to reaped quite a few benefits." The squirrel is obviously happy. It lifts itself from its relaxed position and slowly moves towards the girl. It arrives at her legs and jumps on her knees stretching its tongue towards her hands, slowly removing the blood from her hands.
The girl curiously watches the squirrel.
"Is there any meaning to this, Idan?"
"Not really. The blood does not suit your hands and yes there is some residual energy left in your blood."
Finishing with his cleaning Idan slowly turns towards the girl.
"And? How strong are you now?"
He was curious. The scene was magnificent and the energy was very pure and strong. He was sure that she must have gotten a lot of benefits.
"I have unlocked about 70% of my bodily strength before I can evolve. I can use some of my physical features and I should be around Stage 4." The girl is visible satisfied with her achievements. In certain aspects, she even surpassed her expectations.
"Since I'm at Stage 3 I'll have to rely on you." winking at the girl he provokes a smile.
"I'll make sure you'll stay safe." Without batting an eyelid the girl causes the squirrel to freeze its smile. The response was certainly not what he expected.
"Don't make such a face. I had a lot of time to "study" during my meditation. This thing called humor is certainly entertaining."
"..."
"Jokes aside. I tried to apply some martial art manuals to my body. I believe I can start training them but I have to be careful as most of the stances and movements are still straining for my body. While I was at it, I tried to search for something that might suit you. I did not find anything specific but some body exercises should help you."
A plethora of words left the girls mouth. Idan tried to listen in but a few of the words were new for him making it impossible for him to understand them.
Seeing his expression the girl started explaining what martial arts are, what stances and techniques represent and what he and she might achieve with them.
After 5 minutes of explanation, Idan was hyped for a session of martial arts. Strength is something every beast desires as the society of beasts is much more cruel towards weaklings than those of the humans or demons.
"Let me show you. First, you have to relax your muscles and enter a stance where your hands touch the ground and right foot or hind leg is stretched far behind. You position your left foot near your right knee and go low. Make it so your chest almost touches the ground. In your case you should arch your back a bit. Now take a deep breath and build up pressure. Circulate your energy and breath out. In and out. Yes, very good.....
