The Passing of a Sorrowful month

"Thr Corrupted Fire Fairy is mainly a poison beast with a Fire sub element, it's strongest moves would be Corrupted Flame and the fact it can learn the Fairy Magic- Corrupted Flame Trident. You're Posion Fire Fairy knows fairy magic right?"

Anastasia nodded.

"The Venomous Fallen Fairy, that's something much more rare. It's a Fallen beast. One that has betrayed its species. A Venomous Fallen Fairy had the main element Poison and the sub elements of Dark and Fire. It's strongest abilities would be Corrupted Touch and Sorrow of a Fallen."

"Fallen Flame Fairy, it's similar to the other beast with a Fallen in the name. It has the main elements of Dark and Fire with a poison sub type. It strongest abilities would be Fallen Flame and Fury towards the Heavens. So which one do you want to evolve it to?"

Anastasia thought about and still really didn't understand which one as best, "Which one do you think?"

"The Fallen Flame Fairy. Although it becomes a dark beast, It is much stronger then the other two in attack. The poison element is one of the more weaker elements on attack. Most poison beast have evolved to stop with weak direct attacks to use poisons to whittle away opponents."

"In the end unless you are a seven or eight voidstar poison beast don't bother keeping the element. As seven or eight voidstar beasts are born with their own unique poisons that are all almost to the point of incurable." Leon said.

Anastasia was convinced. "Fine let's evolve it to a Fallen Flame Fairy."

Leon took the some of the Fire Essence form the pool and started drawing the runic circle. After finishing it he had Anastasia take out all the Poison and dark resources she had taken from the tomb.

Leon had used the best resources to help with the evolution of the beasts when they were on the tomb. Now they only had the left over weaker resources.

Anastasia activated the formation and formed an egg around the Poison Fire Fairy. Leon started stuffing the resources Anastasia had given to him into the egg. He then emptied two of that Fire essence bottles he had collected.

"Anastasia, do you have a bottle you can use?"

"Yes!" She took out the bottle and showed it to Leon.

"Fill the bottle up and pour it on the egg twice."

Leon also wen stand refilled the two bottles form that pool.

After Anastasia was done with that adding of more fire energy Leon called her to sit in Fein of the egg.

"Put your hand on the egg and concentrate." Leon said.

Anastasia placed her hands and stared to feel the presence of the Poison Fire Fairy in the egg.

Leon put his hand on Anastasia's, "We're going to control the energy in the egg to make sure it evolve into a Fallen Flame Fairy, follow my lead."

Leon channels his control of energy through Anastasia's hand and started to strengthen the dark and Fire elements.

Anastasia was completely focused and forgot about everything other then the egg.

Pace was just floating on the Fire Essence pool cultivating. He saw Anastasia and Leon working hard and doubled his efforts.

Three days and Leon finally let go of Anastasia's hand. She could do that rest by herself now. Leon then walked away and sunk into the pool to relax.

Two weeks went by. Leon Just waited and cultivated to reach the eighth level of summoning teacher. He caught up on the Cultivation he hadn't done for the Nine Thrones soul technique. It was still far firm reaching five throne.

Other then that he practiced a little Formless aura, he was still stuck on the formless body stage but his mastery over the art had gotten better.

The egg finally hatched. A wrapped fairy came out. It's wings unfolded and a grey and black fairy came out. She flew to Anastasia and spoke with her through soul vibrations.

Anastasia was amazed. Anastasia hugged the Fairy and then unsummoned it.

"It's finally a six voidstar beast. There is only two weeks left for this month or be over, at this rat I'll be able to reach all my beast to six voidstars but still won't be able to pass."

Pace also got up and said, "While you were waiting for the egg to hatch, I got a message form Eos that said Master Harlan wants to see all of us."

Leon smiled while Anastasia felt a little better.

"To the jade Palace." Leon said. The jade Palace was the name of the white palace High elder Harlan lived in.

The three left the rest of the Fire Essence pool for the Clan to use in the future.

The three flew to the Jade Palace and landed outside. They were brought in by someone and guided to the main hall.

In it, Eos was waiting. She ran and hugged Anastasia, She then went and hugged Pace and Leon.

"I missed you guys so much." Eos said.

They quickly caught up until High elder Harlan started to audibly clear his throat. He had entered the hall yet no one had noticed his presence.

Eos stopped talking and stood with them. They all formally greeted him.

"Good you all are here. Now Eos has been telling me to teach you all for a while. She even threatened to quit being my disciple if I didn't help you." Harlan shook his head.

The three started at Eos, While Eos blushed. Anastasia went and hugged Eos because of how cute she looked. Pace nodded and showed hi satisfied face. If elder Harlan wasn't here he would be praising Eos.

"Now I've see the boys, but who is this young girl?" Harlan asked.

Anastasia went up to introduce herself. Eos also added that she was her best friend.

The Knowledge seeking Bird flew and analysed Anastasia. It then went back and sat on Harlans's shoulder. High Elder Harlan still didn't open his eyes. Many believed him to be blind.

"I see you have already started evolving your beast. The path you chose for the Fairy is very unique. As for the Midnight Butterfly, it is also a greatly uncommon beast. The Crying River Bat I've never seen before but it looks like it'll be going down a very unique path of evolution as well."

"I have to say Anastasia you have very unique beast, if I had given you evolution paths I wouldn't have done better." Harlan said with a smile.

Harlan had been able to tell that the beasts had recently evolved. He was even able to see their past forms form which they evolved from.

Anastasia was filled to the brim with happiness, then she remembered the compliment wasn't meant for her.

"High Elder Harlan it was Leon who told me the evolution paths." She said.

Harlan looked at Leon, "Young man it seems you haven't taken my advice. Seeing that you know so much about beast evolution you should understand how threatening the situation can become if you let this continue."

"I'm sorry High Elder but that beast had a strong connection to me."

"I can see that, but all connections can be broken, remember that." Harlan said.

"I'll help you all evolve your beast to six voidstars. Other then that you can train with Eos while you wait for the beasts to hatch." Harlan started walking out of the hall. "Follow me."

The four nodded and followed the elder. The elder brought them to a large ground.

"Anastasia and Pace come with me. I'll help you evolve your beasts."

Eos asked, "Master what about Leon?"

High Elder said while walking, "His beast are all very high level, you should train with him, he will be a good opponent in the same age group."

Eos was surprised. She said she would and went back to Leon.

"Leon you all ready reached the criteria for passing the next round?" Eos asked.

"I have, so do you want it have a practice fight?" Leon wanted to see how strong Eos had gotten.

"I do!" Eos answered.

They both summoned their soul books. Eos was much faster at summoning but Leon was still faster. He summoned the Lightning Griffin and had the Cold Mist Ghost Dragon come off his head and jump onto the ground to join the battle.

Eos summoned two beasts as well. She summoned the Skyfire Fairy and the Aqua Fire Fox. Both beasts had not evolved but had grown stronger.

"Harlan had her focus on abilities." Leon thought and nodded. That was the same thing Leon was doing with the Lightning Griffin. He wanted to teach it abilities and then evolve it through a big evolution.

Eos started the fight. The Aqua Fire Fox summoned six fire balls and launched then st the Griffin. The fairy raised her hand and started chanting a spell.

The Griffin didn't bother dodging player of lightning covered its body and he fireballs couldn't hurt it.

It flew up and started shooting Lightning at the beasts.

The skyfire fairy chanted and her wings grew bigger and fiery. She flew up faster then ever and quickly chanted a spell to summon flame swords.

The Dragon or 'Purple Ice Serpent' shot out ice chains to bind the Fox. Two chains shot form the ground as the Fox jumped back. The Fox ran away as the chains chased after it.

Up in the air the Skyfire Fairy fought with the Griffin in a one-sided battle. The Griffin dodged all the moves and would hit weaker lightning strikes on the Fairy's body.

Eos stood on the field with her eyes closed. She was concentrating on controlling the beast to there full extent. Leon watched her causally and couldn't help but shake his head.

His beasts finished up the battles. The chains bonded the Fox and the Fairy fell from being hit by too strong of a lightning strike.

Eos opened her eyes and sighed.

"Brother Leon you are really strong! I barely stood a chance. After my beast grow stronger let's fight again." Eos said. Leon had went easy and her beast weren't severely hurt.

"Eos you have improved a lot as well. You should use your Skyfire Witch next time."

"But brother Leon you didnt use your main beasts either." Eos said.

Leon thought about it. She wasn't wrong. "Let's have a fight later."

The two then sat down and talked for a while. Leon have Eos advice in fighting.

After a while Anastasia and Pace came back with High Elder Harlan.

"Now your beasts are evolving, just train with Eos for a while. I will com back when they have evolved." Harlan said and left.

Anastasia was evolving the Crying River Bat into a Sobbing Blind Bat. While Pace was following High Elder Harlan's path and evolving the Royal Clud Fish to a Royal Cloud Whale.

Leon didn't fight other then the first battle with Eos. None of the three also wanted to fight him. They had seen his beasts and they weren't really a match. The three fought practice battle while Leon doubled as a referee and teacher.

Anastasia had wanted to fight Leon but she remembered the Red Flaming Tiger she had seen at the Clan and the weird soul eating beast at that tomb. Those beasts were to intimidating and so she didn't bother.

Two weeks went by quick. The four cultivated, fought and taught each other. The beasts hatched. They said good bye to High Elder Harlan and the four left to pick up Clyde and Dwight.

As they arrived they didn't see Dwight and Clyde so Pace went in to the Clan to check what happened. He came back saying that Dwight and Clyde had left for the Fire ore Vein with that elders and planned to cultivate there. The planned to give up on the competition.

Pace sighed and the four left for the island.

They arrived an hour early to the meeting. They say at the meeting spot waiting. From the two hundred and ninety five people that were still in the competition only around two hundred and fifty showed up.

The Lady appeared in the sky.

"The other forty seven that didn't show up are disqualified." The Lady said.

She then had her eyes turn serious, "A lot of you have complained to the Council of Fire on the fact that the competition is too hard. The council of fire has made the decision that anyone who quits now will be compensated with ten drops of Soul dew."

It took around a minute or so for more then a hundred people to quit.

"Everyone who has quit leave the island. For the compensation go to the Council of Fire they have already prepared it for you."

The numbers dwindled as people left. Anastasia and Pace were also thinking offering Leaveing but Leon stopped them. Eos was told by her master to stay.

People kept on leaving. Some knew they might be able to pass the round but left because it was the safer option.

"Now only fifty six of you remain. The fire council has already decided on who will make the national team. So you only have a week left to reach seven voidstar beast strength and to convince us to change the decision. The next meeting will be in a week." The Lady left.

Hearing that, people didn't have enough energy to be angry. They just sighed and started leaving. A few felt more confident as they knew they were picked.

"Well there's no need for trying then. The final ten have already been picked." Anastasia said.

Pace was also out of positivity. He sighed.

Eos asked for them to come with her to the Jade Palace but everyone said there was no use. In the end she left alone.

Leon went back to the Fire cave and sensed the Fire Phoenix. He summoned it In front of himself. The fire cave was completely empty now.

He drew a quick formation circle on the Phoenix egg using all the Fire Essence he had taken. The formation sped up absorption of energy. He then formed the Burning heart rune again and fed it to the Phoenix.

The eggs hatching speed had doubled. It would need around a month to hatch. Leon felt his body shaking in excitement. The Phoenix egg was so close to hatching.
