I Shall Evolve Everything

[Species: Kitsune]

[Name: Tama]

[Tier/Level: 5/1(Can be evolved)]

[The Kitsune are characterized by the number of tails one possesses with 9 being the utmost. A new tail is only gained after sufficient growth in either power or age. Usually 100 years for every tail is the general rule. After having gained their ninth tail the Kitsunes fur will turn white or golden color and ascend the heavens. Kitsune are known for their illusions powerful enough to be indistinguishable from reality and their ability to transform into humanoids. Other notable abilities are their ability to take on a ghost like form, possession of others, invisibility, and their control over lightning and fire]

I pressed the evolve button bringing up the option menu.

[Choose a path of evolution]

[Illusion: The Kitsune is put into a situation wherein the only way to survive is to use illusions. The Kitsunes Illusions have grown powerful enough to fool reality and manifest illusions that can deal physical harm ]

[Stealth: The Kitsune is deprived of all physical and magical attacks and put in a situation wherein they must deceive using their transformations, possessions, illusions and invisibility to survive. The Kitsune has evolved to be a master of stealth, able to infiltrate almost any civilization]

[Elemental: The Kitsune is put into an aether rich environment aligned with fire and lightning. The Kitsune has given up on all abilities other than fire and lightning, in return they have gained an understanding so deep of said abilities that it costs them little to no energy to use large scale fire and lightning abilities that might have once taken them out of battle.]

"Tama" I called

"Yes, my Lord"

"I can use my talent to evolve you in three separate ways" I start take a breath then continue "Illusion where you develop illusions powerful enough to fool reality, stealth where you give up all offensive to be a master infiltrator, or elemental, the same as stealth where you give up all abilities but gain powerful lightning and fire abilities. A fair warning, I have never tried this on someone who could talk but from my perspective it takes but a moment for the things I choose to evolve so when you choose to me it would seem as though you have evolved to tier 4 or even tier 3 in a moment."

"It is up to you to decide how you are going to evolve, find me when you are ready" Finishing my speech I head towards... towards where ever Milia has set up.

Tama was conflicted she never expected such a bomb to be dropped on her, even now she could not believe that her Lord was able to help her increase her strength that easily.

The way he just casually mentioned jumping tiers like that was so unbelievable that was it not her Lord she would have laughed but he looked completely serious. Not that she would have doubted him, he was her Lord there was no room for doubt.

Steering her thoughts away from that heretical train of thoughts she instead put her effort into deciding how she would choose to evolve.

Stealth was out right away, while it might be terribly useful to be able to infiltrate an enemy camp or kingdom Tama was a protector of her lord and to leave him on his own would be sacrilegious. For that reason alone stealth was out, not to mention how much more useful it would be to have one of her lesser subordinates evolve in stealth.

So it was between Illusion and Elemental. Elemental would give me access to kingdom destroying magic but that's all no versatility. I would have to constantly practice just to gain access to spells that help not destroy and for that the Elemental path has to go.

That leaves Illusion, 'This...' Tama thinks, 'has potential,'

Illusions could misdirect the enemy from ever even approaching her Lord and even if they do come close she can use solid illusions to protect her lord and confuse the enemy even more.

'I have decided' Tama declares to herself.

Looking up Tama realized that it was already dark outside, at least 2 hours have had to have passed for it to get dark.

"I should inform my Lord of my decision," Tama mumbles to herself.
