Chapter 148 - Silver
Shaman and Elysia went past the maid who was at the door, going straight to Clara's room.
Swinging the door open, Shaman was greeted with Clara and Wolfy about to exit the room.
Clara wore a dark purple t-shirt alongside her thigh high socks and a pair of shorts.
"Ahh, somebody is eager." Clara was still half asleep, so the sudden opening of the door made her jump.
"Aha well my son is finally growing up, how could I miss this!" Shaman quickly knelt down and started to pat Wolfy.
"Hehe~ finally." Shaman gave Wolfy a hug, unable to contain her excitement. Wolfy who was extremely nervous for the transformation couldn't help but wag his tail vigorously out of excitement.
"Let's not waste any more time and hurry." Shaman quickly stood up and grabbed Elysia's hand, dragging her through the hallway to Freja's throne room. Clara and Wolfy followed, having to slightly jog to keep up with Shaman's pace.
"Do you have to drag me?" Elysia was almost stumbling over her feet and wanted to know why she was getting dragged.
"Yes because as the second mother of Wolfy we must get there as quickly as possible." Although Shaman may not have been too excited when she first heard that Wolfy could evolve, now that it was finally becoming a reality she couldn't help feeling like a helpless fan girl.
"I can move on my own though." Elysia protested but Shaman did not listen, forcing Elysia to be in a constant state of almost falling over.
Clara giggled watching Elysia struggle while also trying not to be too loud to avoid distracting Shaman from her excitement.

Arriving in the throne room they met Freja dressed in a casual white shirt and black plants standing near her throne.
"Just on time girls and little Wolfy, follow me." Not wasting any time Freja opened up a portal and walked through it.
Shaman looked at Elysia then back at the portal, a little cautious of where it led. However, being too excited for Wolfy's evolution, she quickly followed suit while continuing to drag Elysia.
Going through the portal, Shaman found herself in a cave with a pool of water which was glowing enough to provide ample light. In the cave's ceiling was a hole that let sunlight in, providing nourishment for the vines that grew nearby. Similarly, the edges of the pool were also filled with overgrowth, giving the cave a very picturesque feeling.
By the side of the pool Freja knelt down looking at the water and seemingly using her system to analyse it.
Shaman and the group looked around in awe as the small cave they were in was a beautiful sight.
Wolfy walked up to the edge of the pool assuming this is what he will be entering to activate his transformation.
"Hold on Wolfy before you enter, give me a second to explain what this pool actually is." Freja, still looking at her system, put her hand up gesturing at Wolfy not to go any further.
"Okay so, this pool has some special kind of mana, probably divine mana, but all I know is that this pool is an abnormality in this world. I have tried to figure out what it is exactly, but I can't seem to find a resemblance to anything else from this world." Freja went to explain what the pool was, making it sound like something that should not have existed in the first place.
"Okay and so how is that relevant?" Shaman was curious why Freja was telling them about the pool and assumed there might be a catch.
"Well I don't just want Wolfy to enter it, I want you three to also go in." Freja stood up and moved towards the girls.
"Wait, have you tried?" Shaman was rather sceptical as she knew there was a high chance gods existed and it wouldn't surprise her if it had an effect on her.
"No~" Freja clicked her fingers, closing the portal.
Elysia and Clara looked around and saw that there was no exit other than the hole in the roof.
"I'm assuming there is no second option and we have to enter the pool." Shaman sighed as although it was most likely not dangerous, she did not appreciate being a guinea pig for an experiment.
"Fufu~ yes." Freja wore a smug grin.
"Well, speaking of who should go first, how about Wolfy first then us? He's becoming human and I don't know how comfortable Clara would be being in the same pool with him naked." Shaman was completely fine with being with Wolfy but she also had to consider Clara who was more of a friend than a mother to Wolfy.
"Hmm, well how about we go through the process with Wolfy first and then we will get you three to jump in." Freja did not expect them all to jump in once and was fine with them taking turns.
"Fine." Shaman was okay with that. And so, the moment of Wolfy's transformation was only a few moments away.
'I need a new name.' Shaman had a few names in mind, but she was rather undecided.
'Silver, Leo or Azure.' Shaman thought out some of the names that she had come up with or were recommended by Clara.

'I like Leo, but Silver is more symbolic.' Shaman was jumping between names trying to decide what would be best for Wolfy.
"Alright Wolfy, all you have to do is enter the pool and swim to the middle where the light is the strongest." Freja went to Wolfy's side pointing at the pool.
Wolfy looked over the edge a little hesitant as this was a life changing thing for him.
'Finally, I can be like mother.' Wolfy hovered his paw over the water, knowing that once he steps into the pool, his life will change.
"Comeon Silver! I want to see my new handsome son!" Shaman yelled out calling his new name and Wolfy looked back shocked to hear it.
"Yes mother!" Silver, liking his new name, went into the pool and swam to the middle.
For a moment nothing happened and Silver was rather confused for the lack of a reaction.
However, suddenly Silver's body started to glow a bright silver. This blinded everyone, forcing them to cover their eyes.
"Shit! Is SIlver okay!" Shaman was worried as the sudden holy light was rather concerning.
"Yes he will be fine, it was the same with a few others that had a transformation." Even Freja was affected by the light despite being able to protect her eyes with magic which supported her theory it was some kind of divine mana.
After waiting for a minute, the light began to die down, allowing them to check whether Silver was okay.
In the pool of water was a naked boy with short silver hair alongside a pair of silver wolf ears and a tail. The boy was about 5'6" and looked like a young teenager. He sat in the pond slowly opening his eyes for the first time as a half human.
Silver opened his eyes revealing his crystal blue irises surrounded by a thin circle of violet, showing that Freja's blood was indeed present in him. Silver looked around, getting his bearings and looking at his hands. Moving them around fascinated him with this new range of movement.
Silver puddled to the edge of the pool and tried to stand up on his own two legs.
Everyone was watching with anticipation, witnessing Silver's first steps. While Silver attempted to stand up, Freja took the initiative to use blood to wrap a towel around Silver's waist.
Using the ground for support, Silver attempted to stand up straight, slowly raising his hands off the ground till his back was straight. Looking at Shaman, a big smile appeared on Silver's face as he finally managed to stand.
"Yes!" Shaman was excited and seeing the smile on Silver's face melted her heart.
However, the excitement got too much and Silver tried to run towards Shaman, only to instantly fall over, landing on his face.
"Ow!"
Shaman seeing this quickly ran over to Silver, lifting him up and giving him a hug.
"Silver, you okay?" Patting his head, Shaman made sure there wasn't a scratch, even using [heal].
"Aha yes im okay mother, just not quite used to walking." Silver looked up at Shaman a little embarrassed, but it was a completely new sensation.
Elysia had also quickly ran over. She may not have been as excited, but could not help feel proud of Silver.
Shaman seeing the smile on Silver's face up close could not help but start to cry.
"Mother? What's wrong?" Silver instantly got worried as it was rare for Shaman to cry.
"Oh I'm okay Silver, it's just I'm so damn happy right now." Shaman held Silver tighter in her embrace. Shaman felt bad for not giving Silver more attention, but he had been her first companion and she had always seen Silver as a son. The first time Silver called her mother was a shock, but it had made her extremely happy.
"Thank you mother, but please don't cry." Silver started to tear up himself.
"I know it's a very touchy moment, but I need you to jump into the pool." Freja wanted to let them have their moment, but they still had things to do.
"Oh yes, aha sorry, Come on Silver let's get you up." Shaman got a little carried away with her emotions, but she knew she had all the time to dote on Silver.
Wiping away the tears, Shaman stood up, becoming Silver's support for walking. Silver took his time slowly taking step after step, slowly getting used to his legs while they made their way to the wall.
Elysia had taken to the other side of Silver to provide that extra support.
Sitting Silver up against the wall, Shaman gave a quick kiss on his forehead before walking back towards the pool.
"Alright let's get this experiment over with, I have a son to dote on."
