6 hours passed by , the trio remained unconscious. Another hour passed by , then they woke up and as they gazed at each other , suprise was written all over their faces! they had changed!

Vince grew a bit taller while each of his hands had double stripes tattoo rounded over them.

Eric had some of his red hair gain black stripes with a small tattoo on his neck. Cross on the other hand had the most change, he lost his fat chubby look which made him look thinner. His forearms had tattoos as well similar to the tiger's and his back as well . He now looked like a muscular little child that lifts weights.

They were dazed! this change was too obvious and was gonna be noticed by anyone .

" Cross! your arms are all in tattoos! and you look a lot thinner now!" Eric remarked

" well your hair changed too it now has black as well" replied Cross

" indeeed all of us gained some traits of the tiger! i think we inherited it's strength and agility! with Cross gaining most advantage of its head!"

" hahaha! yeah i feel so much stronger now! i can slay an elephant with a slap!" laughed Cross while puting his hand on the wall of the tree house.

Something unexpected then happened, his hand went right through the wood , no resistance whatsoever, pushed deep inside the wall .

"..."

" Come let's go to the forest and check the state of our bodies now" Vince said

" Damn! this is too exciting! it's just like movies!" Cross said while smiling

They got to the forest in a matter of minutes. They usually had to run for 10 minutes to reach where they were now but now they did it in 3!! their speed upgraded and they felt as tough taking a stroll! Vince with most innate talent for speed felt he could reach here in just 90 seconds.

This made them even more excited.

" hahaha! this is just too awesome , our speed now is unrivalled in the village" laughed Cross

" Not just that! i think my reflex and eyesight got even better! i can see now more than a thousand meters away!" Eric added

" my speed also got faster i feel like i can run 100 meters in just 2 seconds or 3 max with no burden on my body" Vince also said then he added " Cross try picking that tree from the ground" he mentioned towards a thick high looking tree.

"haha sure!" Cross laughed and went towards to pick it up . it was then that bent down so as to use some force as this was impossible for him to do before. To pick up a huge tree rooted in the ground. He was still a 7 year old child!

What followed actually caused them to open their mouth in surprise. It was as if the tree jumped from the ground its roots dangling mid-air. Cross did so easily meeting no resistance! and he felt just as he was holding a thin stick in hands with no weight pressuring him whatsoever!

" just as i thought! eating that tiger must have improved our physical states tremendously and since Cross got its head, his strength now exceeds even our father!"

" then will the same happen if the villagers eat the snake we brought!" Eric asked

" this actually works in our advantage! i don't think they will faint like us but they will feel their bodies getting stronger , we are young yet more powerful than adults , so we can explain this boost with the fact that eating that beast benefited us in a big way" Vince explained

After that they tried using their old abilties to check how much they improved. Eric with improved eyesight and faster reaction can now hit dead center of any target within 700 meters . Vince on the other hand with his extreme speed can be seen like shadow and can now actually run vertically on the trees for a precise distance! a hundred meters can be covered in less than 3 seconds with ease!!

Cross's skinn did not look that different but it actually underwent evolution! his fingers now can grab stones leaving deep marks there with no scratch! he tried stabbing his fingers into the stone and it actually went in! he got hyped so he grabbed a two stone each weighting around 1000 pounds each and started joggling while smiling .

They eventually stopped as they had no way to precisely measure their progress!

" hey! how can we explain the tattoos?" asked Eric

" we can't say we drew them since they can't be wiped!" added Cross

" indeed, then we ll just have to cast a bit of truth and hide what we 've done! we 'll tell them we woke up and found them but we do not mention the tiger!" said vince

" yeah that's it! that's all we can do for now! come let's go visit mother and our young unborn sibling !" said Eric

The trio then smiled and proceeded towards their village. It was better than expected , villagers thought it was just them fooling around .

But when Rolland saw them , his jaw fell to the ground then he laughed like mad! this made the trio realize that their father knew something . so they asked but he only replied :

" I 'll tell you when you become of age" then he continued on laughing and ordered a feast for the night.

When they reached their mother , she didn't react much as Rolland must have explained to her beforehand . She had pride,joy and some worry in her eyes. They asked her as well but she didn't answer. This made even more confused.

" Did you come to visit your little sister?" asked Elena with smile

" how do you know it's a girl ?" asked vince and the other 2 with a surprised voice

" a mother's intuition!" giggled Elena. She then embraced them and told them to come eat .

They followed but with many questions swirling in their mind while discussing with their telepathic ability.
