Two shells of energy resided in the makeshift campsite under the mighty roots of one of the towering trees of the Emerald Lakes. One shone with a Violet light, speckled with spots of pure nothingness, it was of quite the prodigious size, laying around 4 meters in width and 3 meters tall. Besides it was a smaller but still sizable shell, this one was only 2 and a half meters wide and just shy of 2 meters tall. This smaller shell of power was predominantly a deep glacial blue, with countless shifting veins of iridescent white filtering across its surface.

The two shells remained undisturbed for a full day and night. No movement could be detected from within, and no further magical fluctuations were unleashed from either of the evolving girls.

It was shortly after dawn two days after the shells encasing them showed their first signs of change. Almost simultaneously a shudder ran thought them both, swiftly followed by a sound similar to shattering ice.

As the shell surrounding Luna began to break apart, a surge of frigid air washed out over the campsite. The echoing ring of shattering ice however, only intensified, sounding like a choir of icicles shattering across a frozen lake.

Violet's shell was being broken in a unnerving manner. Instead of portions of the shell braking away to reveal the inside, when a portion of the violet shell broke away a pane of nothingness was left in its place. Eventually though the nothingness too was shattered, revealing the form of the dragon within.

Violet was the first to emerge, having more experience with evolving she understood what she needed to do to get out of her shell when she woke up within it.

And so it was that less that a minute after the first shudder went through the shells, Violet emerged in all of her glory.

The first thing that the observing Rhyana and Susan noticed was the presence that washed out over them. It was powerful, domineering yet kind, and full of boundless curiosity. It was not the type of presence that opresssed those weaker than her, not that it could not be changed to do so however. For the two observers it felt benevolent, like a warm embrace on a cold day.

Next they took in the appearance of Violet, she had most definitely grown. Where before she best matched a horse in size, with a tail that was the same length as her body. Now her body alone easily surpassed 3 meters in length, with her long neck and tail added on she just about stretch out to be nearly 10 meters from tip to tail.

Her form remained mostly the same as it was pre evolution, just… larger. Her scales still held their violet hue, her claws still shone with their onyx gleam. Her horns that sat atop her head definitely grew, they now curled slightly back from the brow before jutting forward. The base of the horn onyx black whilst the tip shone with violet light. Along her tail onyx spine jutted out, their sharp points making their purpose clear.

Her underside was a shade lighter that the rest of her scales, leaning towards lilac in tone. Still her figure was majestic, as she stood up and took in her surroundings she first noticed Rhyana and Susan, in her light mental voice that seemed slightly strange to come from such a large beast she spoke to them. "Wow! how did you both get so small! And where is Luna?"

Rhyana just stared at the large dragon in confusion. Susan was the one to awkwardly cough into her hand and reply. "We didn't shrink Violet, you just grew - a lot. You are really quite large now. And for Luna, well she is evolving too just there, she should be out soon too."

"Ahh, yeah that would make more sense…" her voice came thought quite quietly, almost as if embarrassed by her own silly question. Still when she heard the second part about Luna she quickly turned around, eager to see her companions once again.

The cracking of Luna's shell continued now more than half of the shell was riddled with cracks. And it wasn't much longer till the largest crack yet formed, splitting the shell in half. From this crack the front of the shell collapsed, causing the rest of the shell to shatter. The remnant pieces beginning to dissipate back into mana.

In the shells place stood a beast, quite the large beast at that. The Arctic Leopard stood at almost 4 meters long and just shy of 2 meters tall, granted almost a third of that length was from the fluffy white tail of the beast. Her fur was stark white with deep blue spots on her back and sides, as she moved a shimmer seemed to spread down the fur, and a new pattern of spots seemed to emerge after the ripple passed by.

Glacial blue eyes shone with intelligence as the leopard gauged her surroundings. Then she tried to speak, what came out was a mix between a growl and a purr. The leopard seemed startled by the sound it made before looking up at Violet, Luna's voice soon coming through the bond that they shared. "So what do you think? I think we both look pretty cool!"

A large draconic grin split Violet's face, showcasing her large fangs. "Very cool! But I have to ask, why are you now a beast? I don't mind, I'm just confused as you never said that this was possible." Concern did tinge her later words, clearly Violet was concerned for her partners well being.

"Well I think you did something crazy, as usual, and a new screen appeared before me offering me the chance to evolve into a Primal Arctic Leopard. I was confused at first, but realised that I am unlikely to get such a chance again. So I took it and here we are! I am still getting used to walking on 4 legs though, it's strange."

Her calm response reassured the slightly nervous dragon. She then lowered her head to brush it against Luna's now larger body. Violet almost flinched when she came in contact with Luna, as a aura of cold seemed to envelope her form. Yet whilst it momentarily struck the dragon, it rapidly disappeared, Luna not viewing her companion as a threat allowing the dragon to pass through the cold unaffected.

The two companions basked in each others company for a while, each getting used to the new way that they saw the world and each other. Luna in particular was having to adapt to an entirely new way of both seeing and sensing the world around her.

As she became more adjusted to her senses and became cognisant of Violet's own presence being gently emanated from her, Luna's own presence seeped out.

It was chilling, still, but full of majesty. It blended into Violet's own presence, neither one interfering with the other… if anything, the two melded together, complementing and enhancing their companions own.

Together the two presences surged, together they were greater than the sum of their parts.

So the two companions basked in the melding of both their presences and mind, their bond feeling deeper and more profound as the echos of their very existence seemed to blend together.

As the presences merged the surroundings came into their control. They announced their dominion over all that they saw. The world now welcoming its two latest Lords, or to be more specific Ladies.
