Without hesitation, Arthur and Morgana stepped forward, claiming their future. As they advanced with unwavering resolve, Tista followed in their wake. One by one, the others stepped forward, each embracing their destiny.
Before them lay symbols representing their paths—each a manifestation of their fate.
Arthur stood before a book, a hammer and anvil, a question mark, a griffon, a garuda, a fox, and a pencil. Morgana faced the same symbols, her choices mirroring his. Tista, too, found herself before the same set of emblems, her journey aligning with theirs.
Friya's path was marked by the griffon and the fox. Phloria stood before the garuda and the question mark, while Quylla faced a book and a question mark, uncertainty intertwined with knowledge. Yurial, standing firm, found himself before a pencil and the hammer and anvil—his future shaped by both creativity and craftsmanship.
As each of them made their choice, the air crackled with unseen energy, the weight of their decisions echoing through the fabric of destiny itself.
A well of power separated them as they closed their eyes, allowing knowledge and energy to flow through them.
Floating within this sea of power, Arthur began to contemplate his transformation. There is no need for Dragon Fear, Doom Tide, and Elemental Flow. While Dragon Eyes would be useful, they are not necessary. Blood Imprint and Call of the Blood, however, are essential.
Phantom Echo is a fascinating ability, but since it only copies spells, it holds little value—I can simply cast the same spells myself. However, Origin Flames and Life Maelstrom are indispensable. Origin Flames originate from the lungs, but if I integrate them with my heart, I can use my knowledge of the Curse element to create unique bloodline abilities.
To make this work as intended, I will need Domination. To withstand this level of power, my body must evolve. A Mana Body will enhance my physique enough to handle it. While I'm at it, I will integrate Life Maelstrom and, using the same principles behind my new bloodline, create another ability based on it. Focus Point will amplify my strength in close-quarters combat.
Morgana floated in the energy, considering her own evolution. I agree with Arthur—Blood Imprint and Call of the Blood would be beneficial, but they are not absolutely necessary. However, I see no point in Origin Flames. Life Maelstrom, on the other hand, is an incredibly powerful ability, especially when combined with Dragon Eyes, Doom Tide, Elemental Flow, Mana Body, and Phantom Echo. I will take those instead.
Tista, absorbing the energy around her, made her decision. I will take the aspects my siblings have chosen and merge them to become my own.
As their transformations progressed, Arthur and Morgana pondered how their new bloodline abilities would manifest in their evolved forms.
Arthur began shaping his new body and powers. Domination must manifest in a way that maximizes its potential. The simplest way is through tails—one for each element: red (fire), blue (water), orange (earth), yellow (air), silver (light), black (darkness), gray (gravity), purple (dimensional), and green (spirit). Each tail will be able to separate and create a clone of my body, though the clone will only wield the element corresponding to its tail. Additionally, my tails will hold a spell of their respective elements or their cursed counterparts.
As for Origin Flames and Cursed Flames, they will manifest like any dragon fire—one from my body and the other from my mouth. Life Maelstrom will emerge from spikes on my arms, three on each side.
His transformation took form—a towering wolf-like being standing on two legs, silver fur covering his body. Ten tails extended from his lower back, and three jagged spikes protruded from each arm. His head bore the unmistakable visage of a lupine beast.
Morgana's evolution shaped her into a Garuda, though instead of feathers, she was covered in shimmering scales. Her wings, however, remained feathered—black and silver, embodying both strength and grace.
Tista merged the traits of her siblings, forming a unique hybrid. Spikes jutted from her arms, wings sprouted from her back, and from the waist down, she was covered in fur, while scales armored her upper body.
Their transformations complete, they stood as beings reborn, ready to embrace their new destinies.
