[Ace POV],

Although some people might have found it wise to choose the epic Gryphon race and raise his level afterward, I preferred better quality. As for how this decision would affect Blue in the future, it was my responsibility as his owner.

As I contemplated these thoughts, I had already made my way away from the location where the fight with the apes had taken place. I ran through the woods with Blue trailing after me. Due to his increased size and strength, I could no longer carry him in my arms, but at least he did not lag behind me much with my reduced speed.

We moved swiftly through the dense forest, the morning sunlight filtering through the towering trees. The cool breeze rustled the leaves, creating a serene atmodimension as we eventually ventured toward a secluded clearing.After observing the surroundings a bit,  I chose this location seeing as it seems to be a peaceful environment where Blue could focus on his evolution undisturbed.

Arriving at the clearing, I surveyed the area, ensuring it was safe and free from any potential threats. Satisfied with my assessment, I motioned for Blue to take a moment and catch his breath. I could see the determination in his eyes, mirroring my own.

"Blue," I called out, my voice filled with encouragement. "Today marks a new chapter in our journey. You have grown strong, and now it's time to embrace your true potential."

Blue chirped in response, his anticipation manifest as if he understood the significance of this moment.

After rechecking the surroundings to confirm that everything was in place, I mentally called out the primordial chronicle and chose the sub-creatures I wanted Blue to advance to: the Solarflare Gryphon. I waited for the transformation that was about to take place.

As Blue stood in the secluded clearing, a surge of power coursed through his body, causing his muscles to tense and his feathers to ruffle. The air crackled with energy, and a faint scent of smoldering embers filled the atmosphere

His once smooth and silky feathers underwent a remarkable transformation. Starting from the tips, they burst into vibrant hues of gold, orange, and crimson, resembling the fiery brilliance of a setting sun. The colors swirled and danced, creating intricate patterns that seemed to shift with every breath. The edges of each feather flickered with a faint glow, as if they're kissed by the flickering flames of a roaring bonfire.

As Blue's body grew larger and more majestic, his wings expanded to impressive proportions. They stretched out, revealing intricate patterns of feathers that seemed to shimmer and flicker like tongues of fire. The primary feathers extended with a graceful arch, while the secondary feathers fanned out in an awe-inspiring display. The sound of rustling feathers filled the clearing, reminiscent of a gentle breeze stirring through a crackling fire.

His beak, once durable and sharp, transformed into a formidable weapon. It elongated, becoming sleek and razor-edged, glistening with a metallic sheen. The upper mandible curved slightly, allowing for precise strikes and powerful pecks. The edges of his beak glowed with an intense heat, radiating a warm aura that hinted at the searing power it contained.

Blue's eyes underwent a remarkable change as well. They transformed into molten pools of golden flames, glowing with an ethereal light. Within their depths, one could see the fierce determination and unwavering loyalty that defined his spirit. The glow of his eyes was both mesmerizing and intimidating, reminiscent of the hypnotic dance of a roaring bonfire.

The most striking transformation occurred in Blue's claws. Once ordinary and functional, they now bore the mark of true power. They grew longer, sharper, and infused with a pulsating energy. The razor-sharp talons shimmered with a golden luster, their tips emitting a scorching heat. Sparks crackled and danced along the edges, leaving a trail of wispy embers that floated in the air before fading away.

Amidst the radiant display, Blue let out a powerful roar, a sound that resonated deep within the hearts of all who heard it. It was a declaration of his newfound strength, a proclamation that he had ascended to a legendary form. The sound reverberated through the clearing, carrying a sense of awe and reverence for the majestic being that stood before us.

In a blinding burst of light, the transformation reached its climax. The brilliance dimmed, revealing Blue in his full glory as a Solarflare Gryphon. His feathers gleamed with an intensity that rivaled the sun, casting a warm and vibrant glow across the clearing. The air around him shimmered with residual energy, creating a halo-like aura that encircled his majestic form.

With a single flap of his mighty wings, Blue launched himself into the air, generating a powerful gust that rustled the leaves of nearby trees. He soared with effortless grace, leaving behind a trail of smoldering embers that danced and swirled in his wake. The fiery aura that enveloped him seemed to pulse and flicker in harmony with his every movement, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.

As he descended back to the ground, landing with a gentle thud, Blue exuded an air of confidence and power. His eyes, now filled with a renewed sense of purpose, met mine with an unspoken understanding. We were no longer just a human and his companion; we were a formidable team, ready to conquer any challenge that lay before us.

With a sense of anticipation, I reached out to stroke Blue's magnificent feathers, savoring the warmth and softness that coexisted with his fiery essence. T

But first...….

"Let's put your powers to the test boy. Seems like it's time to head into some obviously forbidden territory"

Screech!
