If Vaan had not seen Ruby besides Topaz and Emerald, he would have suspected ten years had passed instead of ten days. After all, their evolution was just too great.
One upgraded their element, and the other could turn into a giant.
Vaan wondered if Topaz and Emerald always had such evolution paths available to them or if it was only made possible with the life energy from the Profound Pearl of Life.
Of the two possibilities, he leaned towards the latter.
After all, it wasn't just simply life energy; it was life-attribute mana, and mana was easily subjected to changes when influenced by a strong will.
Did Topaz and Emerald have such a strong desire that caused them to evolve the way they did?
Vaan didn't give it too much thought; he could slowly find out after talking to his spirits.
After he took the three spirits back into his body, he could immediately sense their joy. It was like entering a new estate that was made just for them.
