Fubuki trotted through the forest, her instincts on high alert.
'By the forefathers of the Wolvendom, keep those two safe until we return! Father, please respect my decision!'
Fubuki began to pick up her pace, the forest starting to flash by her. Her mind flashed to the system Mina had blessed her with.
'Such a strange thing. It gave it's knowledge to me without so much as a gift! I truly find Mina to be a Goddess amongst us monsters! The use of such a thing... quite amazing.'
She imagined her stats as being incredibly high and making some sort of powerful creature when the screen appeared before her eyes. Fubuki nearly slammed into a tree as it distracted her, suddenly calling her back to reality.
"Oops. I'll uh... slow down to check this."

"Oh. I knew I was hefty, but my speed is that high? Huhuhu. Mina must be happy to have me on this team!"
Her paw steps were excited as she neared her family den. It was a large cave filled with ice that glistened as the sunlight entered. Fubuki stared, her tail wagging in excitement as she felt the cold stone cave under her paws.
"Ah, my daughter. You've returned earlier then I had expected. How are the Hellcats? You spoke of aiding them."
A large wolf covered with fluffy white fur spoke down towards Fubuki. She gazed up, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Father, I went to help and tried my best. Many humans fell to my claws and I saved any I could... though my efforts were in vain. The clan of Hellcats has fallen. The sole survivor is Inferna's daughter."
Fubuki's father, Tyber, began to laugh jovially. She was shocked, unable to comprehend the reaction her father was displaying.
"F-father! Is that any way to react?"
"My daughter, when you have a clan of your own to protect, territory becomes incredibly important. The fall of those weak Hellcats is a great boon for us!"
Fubuki was stunned. The cold stones beneath her seemed to grow hot as she began to grow angry.
"I won't stand for this. I feel that those left are my friends! I won't allow you to belittle the Hellcats for falling to the humans, nor will I aid you if I see that you are in trouble. By the name, Fubuki, I shall never see you as my father again."
Tyber huffed. His smug posture was frozen as he glared down at Fubuki.
"Who is this Fubuki you speak of? I shall maim them and make them squeal under my claw."
"Me. I am Fubuki, named such by my friend and companion, Mina. My rage shall destroy your position, opening the way for Mina. Her power and grace shall shock this world!"
Tyber jumped from his perch, landing beside Fubuki. She stared him down, her eyes filled with loathing.
"Hmph. Ungrateful brat. You accept the name given by some random being, yet you do not respect your father's will any longer. Begone."
[You have been banned from the War Wolf Den. If you return, the War Wolves shall be hostile towards you.]
"Fine."
Fubuki turned away from Tyber, hurriedly leaving the den. She barreled through the forest, her eyes set ahead as she desired to return to her friends.
"Stupid father. Always pushing other respectable beings under your claw. I'm glad I'm not part of the War Wolves anymore! I'll make a name for myself as a powerful wolf beside Mina! Her name is not at all scary, but dammit I like it!"
Fubuki began to bash some weaker, hostile, creatures that tried to get close. She wasn't paying attention though, when she finally had a screen appear.
[Level Up! Evolution is available. Sleep to begin evolution.]
Her ears flicked upright, glee shining in her eyes.
"I can get stronger! I'll be even more useful!"
In her excitement, Fubuki practically began to dance. She strutted, thrusting out her legs in a fun sequence she often used to undo tension in her muscles. The actual evolution was in the back of her mind as she neared the previous Hellcat den.
Fubuki allowed her excitement to fade, bowing low and touching the soft grass with her nose. She paid her respects, delivering the War Wolf honor upon the bravery the Hellcats wielded as they fought. Whether they fell or not, she believed they were great warriors deserving of the greatest honors.
Fubuki got back to all fours, her body feeling somewhat heavy now. Her evolution was beginning to gnaw at her, slowly causing her to grow ever closer to sleep. Her willpower allowed her to meet up with Mina and Inferna, both of which had fallen asleep.
"Mina can sleep out of her sword? She's so graceful, even if she isn't wielding her blades to fell an enemy."
Admiration filled the wolf's eyes as she curled up, laying her tail as close to Mina as she could. Her eyes closed, her breathing slowed, and Fubuki felt incredible power inside of her erupt. It filled every inch of her body, expanding as well as morphing her. As it ended, Fubuki found herself floating in front of a massive mirror. In the distance, she could see countless galaxies. Dead center, she saw herself.
A large, practically glowing, silver-white wolf stared back at her. It's eyes were like ice, though refined for beauty and not power. She was proud of her appearance, admiring the strength and grace she possessed. Unlike her father, Fubuki felt that she was a more attractive wolf. she had beauty on her side.

"Charm? Must I really... hmm. It may prove useful. Mina may be swayed by charming individuals, rather than a powerful bully. Huhu... maybe she will praise my beauty? Oh! If she praises both, I'll be even more ecstatic!"
Her excitement continued until she finally slipped out of the galaxy world that held their evolutions.
