Tak looked confused as he listened to the hooded merchant's words. What was he talking about? What vessel, what host? What blessings? What was going on? Why are they gathered here, what would be happening?
Yet, before he could ponder any further on such thoughts, suddenly the thoughts, the words, and even his own blood froze in him as he heard the deep, yet somewhat familiar-sounding rumbling voice coming from Aiden.
"…KNEEL!"
With his hand raised, Aiden placed atop Madam Dara's head ever so gently. A bright, kind smile brimming on his face, Aiden was actually quite pleased to feel their conviction. Their bond was already strong, much stronger than he would have expected it to be.
With a thought, he unwrapped his own energy that subdued his new aura, and let it unfold in the dark alleyway.
Although he still wasn't completely certain if the process would be the same as on Eora, based on what he could see from the System, he felt that everything should be fine.
Just like with all other times before, Aiden's aura unleashed as if a hungering, vicious beast's chains were suddenly unshackled, letting it surround and engulf Aiden's newest subjects.
The group of six captains suddenly felt as the air around them changed. They all felt their lord's, their master's aura as it suddenly descended down on the alleyway like a thin, silky velvet wrapping around all of them in its gentle caress.
Though it first startled them with the sudden increase in density and thickness, after a while it turned pleasant, soothing even. Their hearts, that were previously filled with a wild cavalcade of emotions slowly began to clear out. Their rapid, rhythmic beats turned several grades slower. As they looked at their master's bright smile, brilliant, shining golden eyes they felt love… reverence. This image of the young master began to take its residence in the very core of their heart, becoming the ultimate meaning of their existence.
After all the worry left their hearts and their souls only then did Aiden fully start the process he was growing more and more familiar with.
Placing both his hands atop the heads of the two mature female skinks, his wrinkled lips parted as a deep, majestic, and thundering voice rang out in place of his usual tone of voice. His suddenly changed tone, adding with the same gentle expression that donned his face made him shining akin to a literal God that has descended from the heavens to bless his most faithful servants.
"[Reptilian] Swear up to me, my dears, and I will grant you the power that you all desire, the strength you deserve!"
The two women, Madam Dara and Pyre didn't even need a second to immediately go on their knees and bow towards their lord and master.
"[Reptilian] I, Dara Throxiak swear to follow and serve you, Aiden Voragon for the rest of my life!"
"[Reptilian] I, Pyre De Zok swear to follow and serve you, Aiden Voragon for the rest of my life!"
Both females yelled out in tandem and with a passionate, somewhat heated gaze. Even without Aiden asking for it, they would have gladly followed the young master everywhere. Ever since learning the truth they wanted nothing more than to earn this honor. Their lives would no longer have any color, any meaning without him being in it.
Aiden closed his eyes and focused on the flow of the energy revolving around inside him. He slowly guided it towards both of his palms and began to transfer it to his two newest subjects, Madam Dara and Lady Pyre.
Feeling as their master began to share his own power with them, both skinks felt the same warm sensation that they felt when he released his aura and let it descend on the alleyway. It was a similar yet, at the same time, a much more intensive feeling. They felt a mystical flow entering seeping into their bodies from the top of their heads, slowly spreading towards all ends of their little bodies.
At the same time, as the energy continued to gather, culminate inside them, they felt a pulsation from their Core, the very source of their existence. Whilst this was shocking, and not something they have ever felt before, they knew it was the sign that they were about to evolve, they were about to reach a new level.
They both had to focus with all their willpower not to jump up and dance around the room from the joy they felt in their heart. No, they couldn't waste the master's efforts, they had to take it all in let the historical moment happen to them.
With his eyes closed, Aiden was focusing on the flow of energy inside their bodies, he was following its route intently. He traced it as the energy was continuously gobbled up, sucked into their little [Draconic Skink] core, gathering more and more pure essence, more energy inside its crystalline walls. He could follow and feel the creation of the new seedlings made out of his own energy, [Soul Power] in its center, triggering the now, well-known evolution part of the acceptance ceremony.
As the seed was finally formed Madam Dara's and Lady Pyre's bodies suddenly began to shine. At first, it was just a faint golden light, but in mere seconds, the intensity rapidly increased, turning soon shrouding their entire bodies with a golden light barrier.
Whilst Aiden could withstand the illumination, the rest of the group had to shield their eyes as the shine was too intensive for their untrained, darkness-accustomed eyes.
The intense glow that created two bright, brimming golden silhouettes, began to slowly grow, gaining height at a rapid pace. Their thin arms and legs gained a bit of weight, as new muscle mass was made.
Both women's shapes began to gradually transform, growing several inches in height, reaching just half a head below Aiden's original look, the average height of most humans.
While Pyre's silhouette remained slim and slender, looking graceful, Madam Dara's figure retained the hourglass shape and even further expanded on it, giving her already seductive outlook, even more appeal.
The process was fairly fast, the transformation took at most 2 full minutes before the light that shielded their bodies slowly began to fade, gradually revealing the new features and look of the duo.
Just as their silhouettes suggested, they both grew much taller, stronger and healthier. Lady Pyre grew at least two heads in height, towering over her kin with ease. Her body remained slim and slender, with gaining healthy curves that were just perfect for her body type. Nothing too outstanding, but just enough for every man to be enjoyed and appreciated.
As for Madam Dara, her transition was even more shocking. Her scales have vanished entirely, replaced by a supple, dark brown, almost tanned-looking skin, her transformation was unbelievable!
