"Why do you want to leave?" I asked as I carried Keri to the Fire Lake.
There was a trail of elemental creatures following me, and I felt like the Pied Piper as I led them. I would wait to absorb them, and for now, they seemed content with following me; I didn't want to start glowing too bright yet.
A plan was forming in my head, but I needed more information, and I needed to know the reason for this Gog wanting to leave was.
"I just don't like being trapped here. I can't leave, but you said you are going to leave the island, and I want to see the world! What is the point of staying around here and waiting for something to kill me?" Keri asked, and I nodded.
Those were all good reasons, but I was about to get rid of the treat.
"I will be taking Lizy with me, so you won't have to worry, right?" I asked, but Keri shook her head no.
"More will come until an apex predator is established. The same thing happens every time someone gets rid of the old one. It's like the Fire Lake is doing this to us, constantly calling new monsters to keep us in line, but the others are fine with this. I am not, and I don't want to die here if I don't have to," Keri said as I stepped up to the bubbling magma-filled lake.
I could feel the heat, but it was different because I felt it absorb into me, not burn me. The red veins of my Fire Fore Pact started to intensify and spread over my entire body as I set Keri down.
She immediately went to the edge of the lake and looked around before dropping to her knees. I watched curiously as Keri began to carelessly scoop her hands into the magma and then drain it into her mouth.
I was amazed to see that the excess lava poured down Keri's face, hardening and then flaking off like it was nothing. This creature was terrific, and I would take care of her just to see a sight like this again!
Then Keri flashed with light, and I groaned. I did not mean to activate this yet! DAMMIT!

I looked down at Keri, and she was still short, but now she looked a lot more like a human… no, maybe an alien. She still had the same dreadlock tendrils for hair, but they were thicker now and longer.
Keri's bust had not increased, but her cute face and thick hips more than made up for it, but what was up with her System? The Devourer System was fitting for this girl, and the changes to her definitely made her much more attractive.
"What happened to me?!" Keri asked as she spun in circles, trying to look at her new body, which was now pink, and her skin was smooth.
"Hmmm, well, this is what happens when I confirm that I will take care of you, but I only thought it in my head. Regardless, I think you look great, but I want to ask you about Lizy now, okay?" I asked, and she nodded excitedly.
"Thank you! And yes, whatever you want to know!" Keri said with excitement as she still looked over her body.
"Then I want you to tell me what Lizy looks like, and how she makes the steel threads, and anything else that she can do," I said, and Keri stopped spinning.
"Nine feet tall when she stands at her full height, and a black ridged body with glowing magma showing on her back section in lines the run around the ridges. She produces her silk as a burning hot thread, but it's magical, so we can't affect her," Keri explained, but I shook my head.
"No, you couldn't affect it before, but now you should be able to even metal her Steel Silk with your fire. I think that together we might be able to corner Lizy so I can at least try to talk to her," I said, and Keri shrugged and put her arms up.
"Sure, as long as I am with you, I will be okay. I know that now," Keri said as I walked over and picked her up, shaking my head at the change.
