“It happens in quick, but clear steps, and I think it might help you with treating Ryla and the Balors, Quylla.”

“I believe you are on to something, Solus.” Quylla stepped forward to examine her patient closely. “Glemos said that with her seven streaks, Friya is the closest thing to a stable evolved Balor he had ever found, and that he wanted to study her.

“Assuming he was right, I can use Friya as a starting point for human evolution and your transformation to identify the necessary steps. Did you record the process already?”

“Of course.” Solus said. “I have no idea if I will always shapeshift into an Indech like this or if the phenomenon will disappear once my human aspect is not completely atrophied anymore.

“I’ve already collected all the data I could with my best diagnostic spells.” She couldn’t mention the Eyes and the Infirmary before Jirni and Orion, but Quylla understood the hidden meaning of Solus’ words.

“Excellent idea, but no matter how good your spells are, Solus, nothing beats studying a phenomenon with your own senses. Do you mind if I take a look at your life force during and after the transformation?” Quylla asked.

“No problem.” Solus reverted into human form and waited for Quylla to activate her breathing technique, Guiding Light, before shapeshifting into an Indech again.
