Rain almost stopped walking out of shock. She had evolved? Was that why she starting convulsing? Even more, she got to choose three stats to increase to a whole new level. She knew her character menu didn't show any form of stats, but Rain could only assume that the stats were always there, but just weren't listed.
When thinking about which stats she should increase, Rain knew she had to increase her mysticsm. She was pretty sure that the wording of 'supernatural' matched the wording the Wise Old Man used when he was introducing the evolutionary paths to her. If she wanted to keep progressing her 'White Mist', Rain assumed she needed to take that. However, the rest of the options weren't so easy to choose.
Rain knew she didn't want to take the strength option. She never had any ideas about becoming a large buff woman like Sunny, that just simply wasn't her style. She liked how she looked, smaller and cute. However, that was the only one she could instantly eliminate. She might be able to eliminate the Vitality and Endurance just because she never had any serious problems with them. After having spent a good amount of time in Atlas, she knew that she could pretty much use any of these other stat increases.
'I guess I should just take what ever I feel like would be the best options. No matter how much I think about this I probably won't be able to make the perfect decision,' Rain sighed to herself. After another quick read through of each of them Rain made her choice.

White Mist: Power E

While walking Rain could feel tremendous changes happening inside of her body. Again the feeling was unlike anything she's ever felt before, and she couldn't possibly describe it. The closest thing she could thing of was like when getting a shot, except the liquid they put in you is super cold, and you can feel it flowing throughout your entire body, and your muscles would shiver the moment the liquid touched it. From that shivering she could feel her muscles tighten, strengthen and grow denser. Furthermore, she felt a massive migraine flow into and out of her head in just a moment.
Almost instinctively Rain called out her 'White Mist', however, as everyone was at the body and waiting for her, she opted against doing so. The four of them stood around the ravaged body of some poor soul. Rain couldn't help but gag and turn her head away.
"Anyone recognize him," Rain asked holding her chest.
"I don't think I could recognize him even if he was my own father," Sunny commented.
"Seriously Sunny," Rain couldn't help but complain.
"He's not anyone I know," Benji replied rather matter of factly.
"Poor soul," Alfred offered his condolences to the corpse.
"Well does anyone know why he was out here then," Rain couldn't help but ask.
"We'll just have to search him," Benji offered.
"Whats left of him," Sunny remarked.
"Sunny," Rain couldn't help but squeek out before she gaged some more. Alfred bent down and started to search through the mans possessions. As Alfred was searching through the corpse, Benji was searching through the surroundings, and arround the lake. Sunny and Rain were both watching Alfred struggle through searching the mans possessions. Most of the things were covered in blood and couldn't exactly be read. He found a small sack and tossed it to Sunny, who quickly opened it and nodded before tossing it to Rain.
"You've got a bag don't you? Put the coin in your bag, and we can give it to the guard for some more funds when we get back," Sunny casually mentioned. Rain could only nod in response, uncertain how exactly she should've responded to that. As Alfred searched some more, he finally pulled out an intresting piece of paper. Out of all the things the man had on him, this was the only one that was not covered in blood. Alfred unfolded the letter and quick read through it before his eyes widend. He handed the paper off to Sunny who then also read through it, before her face became red and she grinded her teeth.
"Bastards," she yelled out.
"What," was Rain's only response, her face clearly portraying her feelings of being lost. Sunny handed the paper to Rain and she started to read it. The paper was actually a letter, and it was from some place called the Feldrin Dynasty, and it was directing this individual to start corralling monsters toward the town of Aeitha to weaken its people.
"Do you all know the Feldrin Dynasty," Rain couldn't help but ask. Rain could see Benji, who was searching by the pond, suddenly whip his head around. He rushed back to where Rain was before snatching the paper that was in her hands and reading it quickly. His face then turned pale as he dropped the paper, his legs began to quiver as he almost lost his balance, but Sunny had stabilized him before that could happen.
"Feldrin Dynasty is a merciless country nearby. They kill all of those who don't submit to their rule and they have been expanding their territory as of late. They had been doing it to their south, far away from us. But I guess they finally set their sights on their north, and Aeitha just happens to be the closest center of civilization nearby." Alfred paused a second as he looked at Benji for a second before releasing a soft breath. "Benji had escaped from their clutches before he could be killed, and he ended up with us in Aeitha. But if Feldrin has their eyes set on Aeitha things won't look good for us. They are a proper country with a full fledged military, we are just a town with some guards," Alfred lamented.
"We got to bring this back to the Captain," Benji blurted out as he started to chew on his fingernails. "Here, put this in your bag," Benji said while handing Rain the note. Right as Benji stated that, Rain received another notification.

'Oh, thats a nice surprise,' Rain thought to herself. While sprouting a misrepresented smile, Rain followed 'The Wanderers' back out of the cavern and back out into the forest. The suns had already set, and the moons were well into the sky at this point. The group started their long journey back through the forest and to Aeitha. They had journeyed far out into the forest, and had to walk for some time and navigate their way back home. However, the closer they thought they were to home, the more something seemed off. They could see a large blaze coming from around where the town was.
"Is there some sort of festival going on," Rain asked. The rest of the members looked at each other.
"We hadn't heard anything about it," they all replied. They continued their march back, but they carried some trepidation in their hearts. The closer they got to the edge of the forest, the more than trepidation grew. The fire was just far too large to be some sort of event, and the area was too quiet, nothing at all like the forest and town should be. The group started to speed up, they started running, they just had to know what was going on they had to see what had happened. When they finally burst through the forest tree line and came to the border, they finally saw what was happening, and they could only stand their jaws wide. Aeitha was burning to the ground.
