Chrysalis

It’s been a while since I checked in on my three companions, ages in fact. At tier six, they’re powerful and intelligent monsters in their own right, capable of making their own decisions about how they want to progress and grow.

And yes, I’m including Tiny in that. He’s not as dumb as he once was, though he’s still quite dim, and he’s proven that he can invest his Skill Points and make smart mutations. I’ve struggled to believe it at times, but even his pick up of Fancy Feet ended up paying dividends.

Of course, the fact that I haven’t checked their cores in so long is a reflection of my trust and faith in my comrades, and nothing to do with an overwhelming sense of laziness and deep-rooted hatred of details and numbers.

Don’t look at me like that.

But of course, now that I have achieved Mythic Status, now that I have ascended to this summit, I naturally need to bring my friends along with me. Some might call me crazy, or insane, or profligate to the extreme, but I’m determined for the three of them to rise to the same heights that I do.

[Right then,] I tell them, [how are you all travelling? How are you going? It’s a long road to reach level one-hundred and sixty, I had to blow up a mountain of termites to get there as quickly as I did.]

Tiny flexes sadly and I understand immediately what he’s trying to say.

[Don’t worry about it buddy, you’ll catch up in no time.]

Crinis also sounds apologetic as she speaks to me.

[I’m sorry, Master, I still have a long way to go.]

[It’s not a problem, really,] I reassure her.

Invidia stares at me with his one eye, unblinking.

[Give me your levelsssss. I wantssss them.]

[You know I can’t give you levels. We’ll focus on you guys going forward, don’t worry.]

The three of them seem keen to evolve and become mythic monsters, which is good. Motivation is important in any endeavour.

[Don’t stress about it, team. Let’s have a look at where you’re at, then we can work out what we’re doing going forward. Who’s first?]

Invidia floats forward.

[I sssshall go first.]

Interesting. He probably didn’t want to get jealous of the others so he put himself first to avoid it.

[Alrighty, let’s take a peek.]

I bring my antennae forward and touch them against the tiny demon, activating my core skill and accepting the flood of information that comes with it. Sorting through it all, I get a good look at his status.

Also fully mutated, his ability to channel vast amounts of lightning in shockingly (heh) small time frames has really improved. His fur is an almost perfect conductor, and the ignition glands are now able to amplify the mana that passes through them, increasing his overall output. If he keeps going down this route, he’ll
