Resting, Practicing and Hunting
Gradually opening her eyes she looked towards the exit of the tree to check if anything had moved the bush when she was asleep although she doubts they could have been that near her without her sensing them anyway. It was better to be safe than sorry in her books though. Heading out she takes in a deep breath of air and then exhaling refreshing her head. Today she would just spend the day either napping or going into the lake and swiping up any unlucky fish that decided to come close to the shore of the lake. Because Sarah was beginning to get a bit lonely without anyone to talk to she just decide to name the Status voice that accompanied her as Linda, she also asked it to show her level and progress with her name and beast/type so she didn't have to kill something to just check how far she had left to go.
~Next morning~
Wind ruffling her fur Sarah wakes up and briskly walks out of the tree and towards the lake to clean her fur and rinse her mouth. Jumping in the lake water she dunks her head into the water and catches some water in her mouth and then gargles it. When she started thinking about how she was gurgling the water as a wolf attention lapsed and some water fell down the wrong pipe making her have a coughing fit. Having a coughing fit would have all good and well, if she was a human, but Sarah is now a wolf and not just any wolf. She is a divine wolf that carries the power of light, darkness, shadow and ice, but she is also a newly born pup who doesn't have any idea how to control her powers except on an instinctual level. Wispy traces of frost breath leaked from her mouth which began to freeze the water in the lake five metres in front of her killing a few fishes. Trying to control the ice to revert back into water but only ten centimetres would revert back to water at a time showcasing her poor control of the elements.
"Congratulations: You have learnt the skill Basic Elemental Control - Ice"
Basic Elemental Control - Ice - Level 1: Ten percent easier to control the ice element
Surprise jolted through Sarah as she asked "I thought I was born with the ability to manipulate the elements I naturally possessed?"
"Notification: Manipulation is the act of shaping the element into something artificial e.g. An ice sword. Manipulation can only be levelled up as high as your control. The only benefit of having Manipulation as an ability is that you don't need to learn it as a skill therefore you only need to focus on the control. Basically double the results for half the effort as your manipulation will always be on the same level as your control."
With that (lengthy) notification from Linda over Sarah immediately gets back to work on the ice and turning it back to normal. She now noticed that she could now remove eleven centimetres at a time, after repeating it for another three times another notification rang out.
"Congratulations: Basic Elemental Control - Ice is now Level 2"
Basic Elemental Control - Ice - Level 2: Twenty Percent Easier to control the ice element
Sarah got so engrossed in learning control she didn't even hear the notifications ring out until she finished which led to her just crossing into level five for controlling the ice element.
Heading back to land she goes to the edge of the lake she tries to breathe an breath of ice however it didn't work for her. Stumped on the reason why she couldn't blow a breath of ice out she falls back onto her Status only to see that she didn't actually have any breath attacks registered in her abilities.
"If there's not a breath attack registered in my abilities then how did I do it in the first place?" expecting an answer from the seemingly all knowing Status.
*Silence*
Growling in frustration from the lack of an answer Sarah ruminated over why she didn't answer her. Thinking about the issue she realised that every question she had asked her before or every time she told her something it was either already available to her on the Status or she was compelled to tell her by the gods that made her. Now that she can't just ask Linda about it she'll just have to think about it on her own. The only solution she could think of was to just follow the instinctual way she maniipulates things and then gradually take control and then apply it towards breathing out that icy air again.
~Two hours later~
After repeated tries she finally grasped a tiny bit of how to manipulate the ice element while consciously interacting with the ice element she dragged in from the surrounding air. However she didn't have any time left for practice left as she wanted to go hunt and level up.
~One hour later~
Once again Sarah repeated the same tactic as before only this time there wasn't as many rabbits as last time as she only ended up killing eight rabbits which gave her 125 Experience points and eight Evolution points. Finishing up she left to go 'home'.
~Fifty minutes later~
On the way back Sarah ended up killing another four snakes that tried to ambush her which gave her 335 Experience points and 4 Evolution points. Back at the lake she starts washing up before going into the tree to evolve then go for a deep sleep.
She first evolves her teeth then her tail to Rank 2 which gave her the achievement of having all her body parts at Rank 2 giving her 4 Attribute points. She used up 4 Evolution points which left her with 26 Evolution points which meant she could evolve all her body parts to Rank 3 as well and have five left over which she won't use as she would prefer to just do it all at once. The achievement of evolving all of her body parts to Rank 3 she gained 6 Attribute points which came to a total of 10 Attribute points. Exhausted to no end Sarah persevered through the exhaustion to place all her Attribute points into Agility upgrading it by two. Unable to fight the exhaustion any longer she collapsed onto the ground from the exhaustion piled onto her from the continuos evolutions.
