/ grrrrrr / a low growl could be heard coming from a brown bear facing off an unlikely opponent being a pristine white dear with diamond like antlers reflecting an air of sharpness, the two beasts were squaring of each other before they start their fight for the rich grounds unluckily they attracted another beast but this one was different.

Slowly entering the opening towards the two beasts, I watched as they felt each others presence with amusement then flared abit of my aura coming of as ancient to them and once they looked at the new visitor they found themselves stuck feeling the two eery eyes watching their very being their minds crawled to a stop feeling as if time itself has stopped and when they felt like they were about to die it all disappeared like a lie.

I smiled at myself seeing the effects I had on the two beasts, the disposition of the deer was now like that of a mouse caught in a trap while the bear was on the defensive seemingly afraid too. Their opponent, a gigantic tortoise with thick legs and an unusually short neck for its species was staring at them with a look that suggested that it was smiling. Unaware of their thoughts, I contemplated over my actions with the two creatures and what felt like hours to them in an endless suffocating darkness was just afew seconds with the application of his new two forces being incorporated with the dream force all at once, it should not have been that easy but that is one of the benefits of having the shell and eyes acting as conducts, allowing him to more easily mixing them together. Starting to move towards them, I finally released the pressure I was exerting to them as I was building towards my fourth dimensional body my presence was rather overwhelming.'this two will do for now' employing the soul force, I easily crushed the two fragile souls and absorbed them through my eyes filtering off of their imperfections while feeding of to my understanding of the it. After my accomplishment yesterday, and with no hurry to increase my strength, I now had one last thing to do for even though I am now comfortable with being a beast I still miss my days as a human and even though I can't do that now I still want to walk with a humanoid body and this body is more of a restriction now for I had no thoughts on using it in combat though its unfairly powerful right now. As I remember being a humanoid is more of changing your whole species even so now I have been accumulating the total energy it will require for my body to be similar and also to ease my body progress so that it won't be left behind and that's what I've been doing the whole day today, a couple more beasts some with even stronger presence than the dear started coming from within the bushes releasing their aura, the forest grew silent as it sensed the gathering.

With there souls crushed and its mind being open using dream force, I puppeteered the animals easily, 'now for my final act' I said sarcastically imagining the goings of the accension prince in his first 'rodeo' in the portals while activating the sage instinctively and approaching the beasts, after a couple of hours in dining on the beasts my body starts experiencing changes in a fundamental level, restructuring my organs and bones with my concious overseeing the process, a horrible experience to partake but my dream force allowed me to steer foward with steel nerves and after an hour my now five feet tall body could feel my inherent force, the earth force now rushing through my body though slowly, its the mutation my sage ability found best for my goals and current resources, it can absorb and refine earthly forces into the body as whole increasing its overall quality and dimension as even though I became humanoid I am still a beast at my roots.

Looking at my arms with green claws I still felt its power and primal nature and beastly instinct inside me and I would rather not loose those, looking futher into the forest I felt something inside me telling me an opportunity awaits in their, not changing directions I moved solely inside avoiding clashes with other beasts for even though they can prove nutritious, its of low quality unable to satisfy me and deeper into the forests will prevent my exposure to the humans early for I know my uniqueness is bound to attract trouble but only for those who seek retribution for I would not cower behind any challenge but that does not mean I will seek any of it, I still prefer my quiet life.

My mind went to the four families inside the accension empire who were more than annoying to deal with but with sufficient preparations I'll be ready when their greedy hands extend here, for this I had to be ready and make the beasts as dangerous as possible while hiding their true capabilities while hiding behind the shadows. That is the goal I've set myself for now as I know the troubles will be coming.
