One of the last things I saw was Sam's concerned face as the flames wrapped around me like a coc.o.o.n.

I felt a searing pain shoot through my back and shoulders. It wasn't anything like fire. It was like an ice cold knife. It was the feeling of pain that brought me to being fully awake. It was h.e.l.lish. Indescribable even. I suddenly felt an odd sensation. My muscles were s.h.i.+fting. Not painfully. But they were s.h.i.+fting and moving. I could feel them growing. I felt my shoulder bones s.h.i.+ft and crack apart to make way for what was coming. I felt my back bulging and as it bulged, the more painful it became. Till finally the pressure was released through a wet sounding explosion. It was painful, but relieving me of the pressure and the pain subsided. As it subsided; So did my flame coc.o.o.n. I saw Sam sound asleep in front of the hearth with a blanket around her shoulders and her father sitting in a chair close by.

I let out a weak hiss which woke up Sam. She quickly reached for a metal shovel close by and gently scooped me up into it with some of the ashes tagging along for the ride. "You had me worried sick. I'm glad father had people bring more wood for the fire else you might not have made it. You burned almost half a months supply of wood to keep the fire going. If only I'd known you were close to evolving. I might have prepared better. She gently s.h.i.+fted me onto the sand bed.

I weakly closed my eyes, and as I drifted off I heard her father speak. " You both need rest. He's been at that for 3 days. When he wakes he'll need food but I can have a maid prepare that for you. Now rest."

The darkness consumed me and I let its blissful embrace grab me. (There's no pain here. At least I can enjoy this. ) I thought as I drifted into much needed sleep.

The next morning I woke and immediately looked for my wings. They were small and almost unnoticeable. They were weak and it took me a while to figure out how to move the muscles attached to them. It took a few hours. Thankfully Sam wasn't awake. I eventually got used to lightly flapping them and then I had to rest them because new muscles get sore quickly.

I thought about what happened during my evolution. ( I hope not everyone has to go through that experience when they evolve.) I heard a ding. / Hosts concerns are unfounded. The reason that host felt excessive pain is because most familiars can eat a pain killing substance. Unfortunately for host it would just burn off. So you will have to endure more pain later. Also due to hosts evolution I must inform you late. Host has now gained Pain Resistance lvl 3 due to enduring extreme mental, physical, and spiritual pain from evolution. Host now must deal with 70% of the real pain. Each lvl decreases pain felt by 10 percent./

( Gee...thanks...) I thought. (What did I evolve into anyway.) I looked back and saw I still had six legs. / System congratulates host on successfully evolving into a Six Legged Flame Drake. A Six Legged Flame Drake is even rarer that the six legged salamander due to the fact most salamanders can't handle the strain and die due to physical and mental overload. Rarer still is the fact of one reaching this state to evolve./ I was dumbfounded. ( So I've become something more rare than what I was originally.... This is bad....) I head a noise and turned to see Sam waking up. She stretched out fully. " That was great." She yawned out.

After a couple seconds she noticed I was laying there staring at her. She stared back at me for a while. " So you got wings?! Did you get anything else?" I shook my head. " Bollox! I was hoping you'd get something more than just that." She folded her arms with a slight pouting face. / Host has gained a slightly more dense bone structure. With more training the wings will be able to release flammable particles that will ignite on contact with anything. Though this will require extensive training to build the muscles and skin between the wings./ I looked closer at the on my back as I unfolded them. They red with specks of gold. Boney finger like things spread through them as making them seem slightly creepy. They reminded me of a bats wings. The only difference is these are on my back.

I walked toward the door. ( Maybe I should go train?) Then my stomache growled. ( Nope. food it is.) Sam looked me when my stomache growled. " You need food. You haven't eaten in a couple days." She got changed and we went down to the Dining Hall. ( I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!)

After a metal platter was brought out for me and I started eating. / Host has eaten Sky Mane meat... Hosts hunger for horse meat has been satisfied. Host has aquired pa.s.sive skill. Flight Strengthening lvl 1: This skill strengthens muscle tissue and materials around and on the wings; enabling them to become stronger and allowing you to go faster as its lvl increases./
