Neffie had just arrived home after an excursion to the Long Fang Valley, where she gained a significant number of new second advancement forms. The Beastkin of the valley had an incredible array of Second Advancement classes that she could now use, thanks to Uncle Aggie and the Royal Guards helping her level up.
The only annoyance of the trip was the confirmation that even her new skills couldn't copy exclusive racial classes. So the fancy new class of the Guild Master remained beyond her abilities, at least for now. But she was determined she would find a way to Mimic the Ancient Race and use that skill of his to make a custom puppet of herself to cover for her when she snuck out to do fun things.
Even though she was getting so much more powerful, her mother was no less protective, so Neffie was sure that's just how moms were. It was sweet, but it was a bit boring, especially when she could be exploring and meeting new people instead.
