"Today's the day, Tinker." Helix announced with a smile as he held Tinker in his hands.
Tinker was Charlotte's soul beast.
It had been just shy of four months since arriving in Myriad.
During that time, Tinker has been the same puppy he was when Charlotte was bound to him.
Soul beasts in Myriad were extremely difficult to train and grow.
Unlike other animals, they grew alongside their soulmate.
The stronger a person becomes, the stronger their beast becomes.
However, strength increases are not instantaneous.
Once every four months, the soul beast has the [opportunity] to evolve.
During that time, the beast will absorb the power from its soul mate and grow.
Until then, the owner must [protect] their beast, which is weaker than they are.
In the case of Tinker, the pup couldn't even stay awake for longer than thirty minutes at a stretch.
Things would be different after evolution.
