Chapter 132: A new form (2) (1/2)

Closing his eyes once again, Aiden focused his attention to navigate through the system's interface. As he was doing so, his thoughts wandered off once again, he missed Enya's constant voice and assistance.

Navigation and access were usually handled by her, he just voiced or thought of the command and she carried it out. Now, however, there was no assistance, there was no advice, no help. Her voice was silent, she was still deep inside his soul space, regenerating for the foreseeable future.

Shaking his head, he cleared his mind, focusing on the task at hand. After a bit of stumbling, he finally got into his Evolution Path, and opened up the visible details for his newest choice.

[Evolution Tree

Current: Ancient Dragon - Clean - Tier 3 (Mastery: ???),

Available options: Mushroom Bug - Clean - Tier 1 (Mastery: 100%),

Cave Viper - Clean - Tier 1 (Mastery: 100%),

Worgen - Mutated - Tier 2 (Mastery: 100%),

Goblin - Clean - Tier 1 / 2 ]

Looking at the screen, he was surprised. This was the first time he had seen a form that was counted as both a Tier 1 and a Tier 2 existence after all. Sadly, he couldn't voice his question to anybody currently, causing him to inwardly sigh.

After a brief pause, to gather his thoughts, he made the decision, and chose the new form, only to be met with another prompt.

[Warning: The form: Goblin was never used before. If initiated, the host will be forced to stay in that form for 03 hour(s) 59 minute(s) 59 second(s), before being allowed to leave.

Do you wish to proceed?]

This was once again something that he never bothered with, this was a reminder that Enya used to warn him. Nevertheless, since he already decided to go through with it, he selected 'YES' from the available choices.

In the next moment, he felt his consciousness fading, as the ever-engulfing darkness pulled him into his gentle caress, drifting him to the land of silent dreams.

From the outside, Lily was startled when he saw as Aiden's body suddenly flashed in bright blinding light. As the light faded, she dizzily peaked, only to be startled once again.

Where Aiden was lying previously, was now a black egg, vaguely similar, familiar to what she remembered when they first 'met'. The egg was slightly smaller than her, probably around a meter and a half in height, and had a solid outer shell.

Unable to stand up due to the fright, Lily crawled towards the strange object. She was agitated and worried, a moment ago her brother was resting and now he went back to the egg he was in when they met at the riverbank all those years ago.

Arriving at the egg, she sat up next to it, pulling herself on its hard shell. Planting her right ear on the outer layer, she nervously asked in a loud voice.

”BROTHER?! ARE YOU IN THERE? ARE YOU OKAY?”

However, there was no response. Her brother didn't respond. She was about to freak out and think of ways to break him free from his 'prison', when she suddenly felt a warm pulse from deep inside.

”Is this you, brother?!” She asked again, feeling the familiar warmth once again flow through her.

In response, another singular pulse came from deep within, warming her heart and body and calming her mind. Feeling the response, she happily giggled.

”Ehehehe, this is fun!”

Her smile receding, she donned a pouting expression, and gently, lightly smacked the black leathery surface of the egg.

”Stupid, mean brother! Don't scare me like that next time!”
