'Eh?'
Givale's voice broke through the Link, 'This feels different. . .'
Stars spoke proudly, 'I know this feeling! Akiol has become Second Stage!'
'Really?! Congratulations!'
Akiol eyed the two strands in his palm. They didn't react at all to the Form of Fortification Aura. With a sigh he murmured, "In the end, my path was still chosen for me."
'Akiol?'
"Just clearing my thoughts, though now I have evolved I think it's best we take some time to adjust."
Stars agreed, 'My own power has grown exponentially. It would be best to practice a bit.'
Givale appeared in the air and landed softly. She examined her body and stretched, "I've never felt like this, I feel like I can take on everything!"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves."
"I'll do my best!"
"Alright, since I've already taught you how to get used to your strength, you just have to repeat that. Adjust to this newfound power."
Givale nodded excitedly, "Okay!"
Stars asked, 'Are we going to test out my new strength?'
