The day had finally come. Gemini gave a passing mark to the two girls, and they could now finally undergo their first true evolution. "As stated before, Sister Noa and I will take care of Joy's evolution. Blake and Sister Gemini will handle Destiny's."
With their stations set, the group of six split up, leaving Mina, Josline, Nanaya, and Ishtar standing in the living area with not much else to do. "Hey, Miss Ishtar, can I speak with you for a moment?" Mina was very curious about one thing.
"Sure?" Ishtar did not know what the little fairy wanted, but she had no problems speaking with her.
The two went into the kitchen area, where Mina finally asked: "So what do you plan? If Blake accepts you both, after hearing the things we do at night, will you be able to?"
Ishtar blushed slightly as she said: "Mina, you forgot I am the goddess of love. Such things are things I do not worry about. Love is love and comes in all shapes and forms. Even if we end up in such a situation, I would not be bothered by it."
"I see... Well, as long as you two will not be awkward. If things come to be and you two do end up joining the family, it would be bad if you were both in an awkward position but I guess mother and daughter think alike. Since she said the same thing. Although her answer was: I am the daughter of the goddess of love, it's to be expected if we fell for the same man." Mina had asked this very same question to Nanaya as well and while Nanaya was hesitant to answer at first she also answered the same.
"Yeah, we did talk about this a few times now." Ishtar really did have a few long talks with Nanaya about things. In the end, they agreed to take things as they come and go with the flow.
Inside the room, Destiny was sitting with a towel wrapped around her. Why she was only wearing a towel was in case she had some kind of huge growth spurt after the evolution since no one knew what kind of changes to her body she would have.
"Papa, you won't leave, right?" Destiny asked. Her eyes pleading for him to stay no matter what. She was quite nervous now that things had come down to it.
"Don't worry I will be here with your Mama Gemini through the entire process. As soon as you finish your evolution the first thing you will see is me here waiting to welcome you back." Blake replied as he rubbed the top of her head.
"Hehe... Then Papa, wish me luck!" Destiny felt a bit more relieved after getting his promise.
"Good luck!" Blake leaned down and kissed her forehead before stepping back. Now it was all up to Destiny to complete her evolution.
Destiny closed her eyes and began following Gemini's instructions. Slowly she fell into a deep state of what seemed like a dream, but at the same time, it was not. She looked around and saw nothing but darkness, and within this darkness was a glowing blue core. It was not glowing brightly, but it was enough to allow her to know exactly where it was.
She looked down at herself to see that she was slightly transparent as she hovered in the darkness. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them and moving towards the core. "I just need to do it as I have been!"
With her determination in full swing, Destiny began engraving her mana core. Slowly but surely, the markings on the mana core became numerous. Destiny looked at all the work she had done so far and felt very proud of herself. "Two more to go...."
On the outside, Gemini had a small smile on her lips. She was watching Destiny very closely so that she could stop the process at any time if something were to happen. "She's fine, stop pacing...."
Blake, on the other hand, was so worried he was biting his thumb and pacing back and forth. He was worried that Destiny would fail and take a blow to her pride. He did not want her to become depressed if she failed. His worries were written all over his face. While lost in thought, he suddenly felt his body being lifted off the ground and pulled into a hug. "Don't worry. She is doing amazing, look."
Blake turned, and the mana in the air was starting to condense around Destiny. Soon a cocoon began to form, and within seconds Destiny was no longer visible. This was the last step. Destiny had to defeat herself to finish her evolution.
Destiny was currently looking at a second her. This her stood there staring back at her. "So you are what I need to defeat?"
"Yes..." The other her replied with a nod. "If you can't defeat me, then I will take over your body and stay at Papa's side for you."
"Humph! Who would let you take over my body!? My papa is my papa! No one can take him from me!" Destiny did not like anyone talking about taking her papa away!
"Then you better be ready because.... I am not joking." The other Destiny's eyes suddenly lit up with a red light, and out of nowhere, an overwhelming might began to flood out of her!
"Huh? What is this!? Something is wrong!" Gemini's eyes went wide. Her connection to Destiny was suddenly cut off. She could no longer tell what was going on with Destiny's evolution. But what was strange was before her connection broke off, she heard a faint playful voice say: "Hehe... No peeking!"
"What do you mean something is wrong!?" Blake did not understand. He had no idea what was going on, but he could feel the mana in the air was surging toward Destiny.
"I am not sure. Something is not right with her evolution. My connection was cut off, and I heard someone telling me not to peek. Blake, I can't do anything to help her if things go badly!" Gemini did not know what to do. She had tried to reconnect to Destiny many times, but they all failed! There was some kind of barrier blocking her!
Out in the living area, Ishtar, who was sitting enjoying some snacks, suddenly stood up and shouted angrily. "Loki!"
