--AN) My sleep schedule is all messed up so my release times are all over the ce. Anyway, 2 more on the way.---


    "Now then. Let''s start with the engraving. Extend a thread of mana out of your fingertip and form it into a sharp point. Once you have that done, you can begin the engraving process." Gemini was very specific about how things must be done. How each stroke of the magic circles had to be carved to make sure they got the optimal benefit from the evolution.


    ke and the girls spent quite a few days just repeating this tedious process over and over again. They did not stop until they had things perfected to the max. "Husband, you pass. Sisters, you are still a little off."


    "Boo! ke, why are you so good at this!?" Lillia pursed her lips. She wanted to be the first to evolve!


    ke rubbed his nose and proudly said: "It''s because I always draw with the girls!"


    "Pfft! Hahaha!" Tina cracked upughing, causing her to mess up her orb. But she couldn''t help it. His drawings were just…. "ke, you are a genius in many ways."


    "Mmm!" ke did not even realize Tina was picking on him as he nodded in response. His drawings were the best! Even if theye out as blobs! They were still the best!


    "Okay, Sister Tina here. Try again." Gemini giggled as she tossed a new orb over to Tina. She then slithered over to ke and pulled him to his feet. "It will be good for everyone to…. Hold on it seems we will have a new visitor before you evolve."


    "Hmm?" ke was confused. But soon realized what was going on when a white light shot out of his chest. A slim figure with six tails appeared in front of him. She was about a foot taller than Faana was when she was in her younger form, looking to be around fifteen years of age. Her snow white body shone under the fake lighting from the ceiling. Two white ears were propped up on top of her head, and the six fluffy tails swayed back and forth behind her. She looked around for a second, and when she saw ke, a radiant smile formed on her lips as she jumped forward, embracing him. "Master! Master! Master!"


    Little white rubbed her face all over ke as if marking her territory before pulling herself up to lick his face. Her master! She had not seen him in so long! She missed him so much. She had wished to be of more help to her master. She wanted to help her master with many things without being a burden. And now her wish hade true!


    ke held the delicate body in his arms and smiled as he patted Little White''s head. "Congrattions on your evolution. How do you feel?"


    ke asked as she gently ced Little White down and took his shirt off, and slipped it over her head. He then proceeded to help her put her arms through the sleeves. The shirt,pared to her body, was way too big. It hung down off one shoulder, and the bottom of it almost reached her ankles. But as soon as she wore it, she lifted the bottom of it and pushed it against her face breathing in deeply. "Master''s scent! Hehe!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I am d you are satisfied. Do you feel strange at all? Any issues?" ke asked out of concern. He owed his life to Little White. She had saved him, and this was something he could never repay. So whatever she wanted, he would give it to her.


    "Nope! I am fine. I am just happy that I can be with Master from now on!" Little White grinned widely as she jumped back on ke and began licking his face again. Her tails wagged back and forth happily.


    ke indulged the young fox and allowed her to do as she pleased. She seemed to like licking his face, so he sat down and let her go to town. Lillia and the others smiled as they watched ke and Little White. Lillia knew just how much he worried for the young fox.


    After almost ten minutes, Little White finally calmed down and snuggled into ke''s embrace. She sat in hisp, curled up. Her eyes became heavy, and before long, she had fallen asleep. ke gently scratched her ears before picking her up and walking over to Lillia and gently cing her in Lillia''sp. Lillia did not mind as she cradled the young fox girl into her arms, putting aside her orb to look after the little fox.


    "If she wakes before I finish my evolution, just scratch her ears." ke really did not know what to do with this little one.


    "Don''t worry. Little White is an important family member and someone who saved your life. She will be treated even better than me." Lillia replied as she tucked a lock of Little White''s hair behind her ear. "She will need to grow up more, but I have a feeling…."


    "Hmmm?" ke, who was walking away, paused when he thought he heard Lii say something.


    "It''s nothing…. ke, be careful and good luck." Lillia blew ke a kiss which was followed by the other girls doing the same.


    With a chuckle, ke followed Gemini about a hundred feet away from the girls and sat down in arge magic circle. "This is?"


    "A fail safe in case there is a failure in the evolution process. Husband, there are many things you need to understand about evolution. One is that the engraving is just the start. Once you enter the cocoon, it will be up to you on whether you can evolve or not. I can not tell you exactly what you will see, but you must ovee whatever it is. Think of it as a trial. A trial that everyone needs toe during their first evolution. Normally it is not an issue since first evolutions happen when kids are young, but for an adult, it is different. Think of it as diving deep into one''s consciousness and pulling out that one thing they wanted to forget."
