Ellow smiled at her. “Then, I welcome you as my daughter. Sophie!”

“Sophie!” The clan called back.

“A female!”

“Female!” They called back.

“Your sister!”

“Our sister!”

Ellow took her hands, her wii bright blue on her wet skin, and pulled Sophie deeper. The water, the wii, reached further up her body, as she was brought to the very center. The water there came all the way up to her chest, just below Ellow’s breasts.

Her mother-in-law put her hands on Sophie’s head.

“Take your last breath as a youngling,” she ordered.

Sophie drew in a deep breath.

Ellow pushed her down. The water closed over her. Surrounding her. The wii, warm and alive, coating her from head to toe. Though she couldn’t discern it clearly, she heard the family chanting her name from above.

Ellow held her down for only a few seconds before releasing her hands. Sophie stood back up, breaking the surface with a splash, and drawing in a breath of air.

The family cheered.

“You breathe now as an adult,” Ellow declared over their delighted cries. “You breathe as one of us. You are my daughter!”

“Sophie!” The clan yelled.

“You are our sister!”

“Sophie!” The clan yelled.

“You are family!”

The clan cheered again. Sophie smiled, pushing the water away from her face. When she did so, she brought her hands above the surface and gasped.

Her fingers were blue! Like she had dipped them in glowing ink, the wii on her skin stained her fingers up to her palms before her body heat satisfied them.

Ellow smiled, taking her hands. Just as she had guided her in, she guided her out. Symbolizing that a parent’s love and assistance didn’t end with adulthood. Sophie smiled back at her, but quickly looked back down, distracted by her own glow.

As she came out, more of the wii lines were revealed. It swirled around her breasts, down her belly, before splitting off at her belly button and curling around her hips and down the sides of her thighs. She could feel the distinct warmth of the glow, but when she touched it, it didn’t fade away. The wii were part of her now, colonized on her skin.

Before she could figure out what that would mean for her future – if the wii would do for her what it did for the allowee – she reached the edge of the nesting pool.

And there was Serval, holding up her beads.

Chapter 28

Serval

There was no more beautiful creature in all the universe. His mate, his Sophie, rising from the pool, the wii swirling and twisting along her beautiful body. Her fingers, her ears, were both glowing blue. But her hair, just off her scalp, was also blue. Unlike his olules, her hair didn’t get blood flow and therefore wasn’t warm at all. The result was a stunning, glowing mass of hair everywhere but the roots.

She was so lovely, smiling and glowing, walking towards him out of the water, that he almost forgot that he was holding her beads.

They had chosen to decorate her in all shades of blue and green with the occasional streak of white. To honor the planet she hailed from. She was one of them, but she was also of Earth, and they chose to reflect that in her coloration.

Sophie beamed upon seeing it as Serval handed the bottoms to his mother first.
