Two shells of energy resided in the makeshift campsite under the mighty roots of one of the towering trees of the Emerald Lakes. One shone with a Violet light, speckled with spots of pure nothingness, it was of quite the prodigious size, laying around 4 meters in width and 3 meters tall. Besides it was a smaller but still sizable shell, this one was only 2 and a half meters wide and just shy of 2 meters tall. This smaller shell of power was predominantly a deep glacial blue, with countless shifting veins of iridescent white filtering across its surface.
The two shells remained undisturbed for a full day and night. No movement could be detected from within, and no further magical fluctuations were unleashed from either of the evolving girls.
It was shortly after dawn two days after the shells encasing them showed their first signs of change. Almost simultaneously a shudder ran thought them both, swiftly followed by a sound similar to shattering ice.
