Your (EVOLUTION) has finished
Hnnggg, doesn't feel like I'm much better at all, really... My whole body feels all crusty and stale, like I've been asleep for way too long. Considering I just evolved, that is probably the case. I don't have time to think much more of anything before a couple of blue boxes pop up.

That is... a lot. Holy shit. That's more than I got last time, right-?... Yeah, yeah it is. There's a lot of Faerie stuff, but I guess that's to be expected... Man, maybe I should have asked Todd to explain that part to me? I don't feel like it was very well-described. What I'll look like, that is.
Speaking of Todd, I can't really see him... then again, I can't see much of anything. Seems the sun went right on down, didn't it? I'm still in the glade, so I wasn't kidnapped, but...
Whatever! That can wait! Mr Blue Box, show me the status!

Holy moly-,, that's-, that's a lot, right? It feels like a lot, considering I started out with exactly nada. Defence is kind of low, but I think I'll be fine, with that much health, not to mention my speed. Gee, that description didn't lie-, that is a lot of mana. More than the wizard had. He isn't much of a comparison though, since, well, I can't really compare him to anything else...
Onto the main dish!! Skills!

This... I'm starting to get too many skills. This is way too much to keep track of.
Some of this does sound a bit suspect, especially that whole "Lesser Faerie" bit. What is a lesser faerie? Who knows?? And, as good skills as they are, I don't really want to sing. Buddy once walked in on my singing to the chickens and he told me I sang well and all, but that does not mean I want to sing to people. At all. Ever.
The chickens are my friends. They may listen.
All the magics have been upgraded, and I even got a combat-oriented one, so I'm sure Todd, wherever he is, is happy.
That said, we do have the trading one... The blue boxes didn't lie much, but this part is... I'm not sure if I want to try it. I'd be fine with losing Mind Erase, but my Flight?... Ah, then again, if I can become somewhat human (as Todd seemed so sure I would be able to), then I won't need flight much, now will I?
Well, I... I guess we'll have to have a try, once he gets over here, that is.
Hrm. My perspective hasn't changed much. I'm a bit bigger than I was before, but hardly big enough for it to count that much. There's still a lot of light surrounding me, so...
Taking a look at my abdomen, I find out why. My whole body is more insect-like than before, more stable, but it is also quite a lot longer. Most importantly, the ball of mana I used to have has been segmented into a bunch of smaller one in differing sizes. The biggest one is closest to my main body, and it slowly goes smaller. So, my abdomen has become quite long. A long chitin plate covers the upper part of the mana-balls, kind of like the wings on the back of a beetle.
...If I try to, I can actually make the chitin plates move to the sides, revealing a pair of wings. But it's strange, because I also have a pair of normal wings on my back, so... I suddenly have a lot of wings. My legs are also longer, especially the back ones. I'm just... longer, overall. Stronger. I look less like an ant and more like a... I barely know how to describe it, really.
However, the most important factor is that I am not, in fact, human. At all. I'm an insect. What the shit. So this is why I got the shapeshifting ability, huh...
Oh, shoot, I almost forgot about all my spells! Heck, let's take a look here...

As I'm thinking, Todd appears out of thin air in a puff of black-mould smoke. I want to cough, but the smoke is gone as soon as it appears.
Todd must have noticed my gaze, saying "Oh, yeah, uh, you see this mark on my cheek? Black rectangle? You don't choose it yourself. No idea why I got a rectange, would have loved a cool triangle, and black is... very unhero like. If I'm killed, I just dissolve into black smoke! If it'd been yellow it would have looked holy, not disgusting! I always feel like a bad guy throwing down a smoke grenade, hrm."
