Blake now understood that his race was more than he had ever imagined. The ability to manipulate time was something he never thought was possible. In all the memories he had gained, he did not remember anything that talked about time manipulation.

Blake left the basement room and walked back out onto the street, deep in thought. If he was thinking correctly, then in order to leave this place, he would need to break time and space. Blake suddenly came to a stop in the middle of the road. “That’s it!”

He felt like an idiot! When Larse said that the meaning was right in front of him and all he had to do was look, he meant exactly those words. Space and time were all around. It was literally right in front of him. He only needed to look and manipulate it to pass his trial!

But now the question was, how does one manipulate time and space? He knew how to teleport. Clance had taught him how. Now that he thought more about it, he realized he had learned space magic quite easily. Even Clance was surprised at how quickly he learned it.

*BEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!*

“Get the fuck out of the road, you fucking retard!” A man yelled out as his car came to a screeching halt a few inches from Blake.

Blake turned and looked at the man who had broken him out of his thoughts and frowned. He knew he might be in the wrong, but to only stop, this close to him showed he was not paying attention at all. He lifted his foot and kicked the front of the car, sending flying backward and crashing into the car behind it. “Slow down next time, asshole!”

Blake made his way across the street, ignoring the stars of the people around him, and went to the nearest clothing store. After buying some new clothes from the foot up, he walked towards a coffee shop. He got himself a black coffee and sat down at a table in the corner to try to spend some time thinking about things. He was already able to use space magic. But the process of time still eluded him. He did not know what time was.

Was time a force that could be manipulated? He couldn’t come up with an answer. Larse said it was a drakani’s specialty, but he did not have any memories of it, so he could not put an image on time.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and watched as the seconds ticked by. Time was something that made the lives of people go forward. It was what determined how things happened.

Blake paused his thoughts as he saw a woman sit down in front of him. Looking at her, he frowned and immediately got up without saying a word. He had no time to be dealing with lovestruck fools.

Blake made his way out of the coffee shop and into a back alley, where he used the walls of the building to climb to the roof of a highrise. He was quite nimble, and it only took him five minutes to make his way up the twenty floor tall building with ease.

When he reached the top, he found there to be some kind of penthouse at the top. It didn’t seem like anyone was home, so he jumped up and sat on the roof of the entryway and looked up at the sky, and watched the clouds moving by.

Everything was moving according to time. Without time nothing could move at all. But what if time did not exist? What if time was never there, to begin with? When he thought of it like this, he wondered. If time did not exist, then would anything exist? Blake contemplated many different things, but he could not grasp how to manipulate time.

Time ticked by….

“He is really taking his time.” Yui pursed her lips as she leaned against Tina’s chest.

“He has been in the evolution phase for so long now…” Anna complained. She wanted to play with her big brother.

“I wonder if he is okay? Sister Gemini, you said if someone fails their evolution, they won’t die, right?” Reese asked.

“I have never heard of anyone dying from it before….” Even Gemini was very worried about this situation. Normally a first evolution would take a short time, but her husband had been in his evolution state for almost half a month now. This was completely unheard of!

“We need to do something…..” Moha held onto Mona with tears in her eyes. She did not want her husband to die! Mona was also shaking, but she was doing her best to hold back her tears. She was trying to be strong. Her bull could never lose to anything!

“He will be fine. Take it from a dwarf. No man a dwarf girl chooses for a husband will die easily.” Josline had faith in the man she chose. The man who fathered her child. She had seen him defy all logic and make the impossible possible. There was no way he would be defeated by something such as evolution.

“Sister Josline is right.” Lillia hugged Little White in her arms. The young fox girl had been staring intently at the massive mana shell in front of her. Lillia knew that as long as Little White was fine, then Blake was fine. Little White was not making a fuss and was only staring. This meant that Blake was just undergoing a special kind of evolution. “No matter what, Blake, our husband. The man we love will pull through. We just need to have faith in him.”

“Sister Lillia is right. We just need to believe in the man we love. He is not someone who would leave his wives and children behind.” Noa took a deep breath and felt a little better. She also believed things would be fine.

After Noa spoke, the room went quiet. A little too quiet. But this silence did not last for long. The ground under their feet began to tremble violently…
