I Shall Evolve Everything

Chapter 43 Weird People

?There was a crying drunk elf just sitting in our living room. I don't know what to do. Everyone that I had interacted with up to this point was not prone to crying.

"They… they wanted me to come down here and spy, bu- hiccup- but they don't care that I just settled down"

"It'll be alright" Tama awkwardly patted the elf on the back.

"No! It won't" the elf just continued to sob, "I wanna go back home -hiccup- I had a comfy house ya know,"

Cutting her off I asked who they were.

"The queen of Enelia, even though she had tons of information, nooo she needs us to go and scout even more for the encampment party."

"I wanna be home not in this backwater realm." With that she passed out.

…

"What did you do Tama?" I question after the elf had passed out. That had been unusual. We didn't even have any drinks to get drunk iff of but here that elf was black out drunk.

"It was simply easier to force her to get drunk then to immediately tear the information out, my Lord"

"What do you mean?"

"Her mental defenses were down after I got her drunk allowing me to force the truth out of her with the veil of her being drunk"

"Where did you get the alcohol though?" I asked very much confused over that.

"I didn't get any I just forced reality to accept that she was drunk"

"If you could do that why not just have her spill everything"

"Because, my Lord, they have an innate resistance to mind control which what you were describing was however I just controlled her bodily function which is much easier than messing with a fully conscious person."

Nodding my head at the explanation, I go outside.

I had been ignoring the blood curdling screams happening in the background but now that I had some more information I could work with it was time to actually see what was going on.

…

Concern filled me as I walked onto the sight of a blood soaked Aoif.

Aoif gave me a blood soaked smile then said, "The blood isn't mine by the way"

Relief flooded me when I realized that the blood wasn't hers, I couldn't see any wounds in her except the slightly bent legs that looked broken if not at the very least fractured.

I saw her limping towards me and more concern filled me. Quickly I rushed over and propped her in my lap then started to heal her legs.

Soon enough her legs were fully healed but I was almost out of aether. Between healing such a major injury for myself along with also healing Aoif's legs I was out of gas.

My vision started to fade and I couldn't hear anything.

However I was woken up again when I felt the emotions her soul was sending me.

*grateful*

*happy*

Quickly I sent back happy emotions through my soul.

Though I wasn't going to stay conscious any longer I didn't want Aoif to see me collapse so with a quick excuse I left to go back inside and head to bed.

…

It was morning and I found myself waking up to not only Aoif by my side but a transformed Tama snuggling at our feet.

She was super cute in her fox form.

*GRUMBLE*

My stomach roared, startling the sleeping fox.

"Ah, my Lord, I'm sorry I'll have breakfast ready immediately."

With one final yawn Tama transformed back into her human form and headed off into the kitchen.

Soon enough the scent of cooked food filled the house. I woke Aoif up and then headed downstairs too hungry to do anything else.

…

After Aoif and I had eaten breakfast I went outside to test something.

So far I had only evolved creatures, humans, and aether cores. I wanted to do something different, to test the limits of my talent.

Walking up to a nearby tree, I place my hand on it and activate my talent.

'Evolve'

[Tree(can be evolved]

[Sturdy: the tree is exposed to heavy storms. Evolved its roots to be more sturdy.

Lush: the tree is sent to a realm with herbivores. Evolved to hold more vegetation to attract herbivores to protect the tree]

Out of both options the one that looked the most appealing was the lush option.

Seeing as this was just an experiment I click on the lush option.

Immediately the tree is cloaked in a bright green light. In the corner of my eyes I can see the tree that I had evolve growing its leaves then having them eaten then growing again.

It looked like many centuries had passed before it suddenly appeared again but with much more leaves.

The leaves were so much in volume that it blocked all of the sunlight that could have gotten through before.

A sweet scent also wafted into my nose. I noticed that the leaves were the cause of the scent.

Picking one of the leaves I put it into my mouth testing its flavor.

Immediately I am reminded of mint however it wasn't the mint I remember. This one was much better. I could just chew on this forever.

…

After I had eaten my fill of leaves I headed over to where Melia was.

Reformed from her tree she stood there with a worried look.

"Are you okay!" She yelled, "I heard from Tama that you healed yourself but let me kiss it better"

Taking advantage of my injury she tried to get closer to me and kiss at my body.

It was annoying the only one I wanted to do that to me was Aoif but here she was trying anyway.

It was almost annoying enough to allow me to forget that she had been almost killed.

Putting aside my annoyance for now i ask her how she was feeling.

"Ohh" she cooed "were you worried for me, that warms my heart"

I give her a glare not appreciating her playful remarks at all.

"Ok, ok, I'll stop but yeah I am ok as long as they don't damage my tree I can't die."
