"Hey, Lumberling! It's my turn now, right?" Aurelya said with a bright grin, her eyes sparkling as she glanced at the two remaining Vikings. "I'm going to power up like crazy too."
"I'll take the wolfy-looking one," she added quickly. "You can have the other, Thessalia."
Thessalia let out a soft sigh, a light smile on her face. "As the more mature one, I'll take what's left. Someone has to be the older sister here."
"Hmph, I did all the work," Aurelya muttered, puffing out her cheeks.
Lumberling chuckled and shook his head. "Alright, both of you, get ready."
"Wait, Lumberling," Aurelya said suddenly, looking down at her chosen Viking. "This one's a spear user. Do you want to share the essence with me?"
He paused for a moment, then smiled gently. "No, it's fine. I've absorbed enough essence for now. I'll rest a bit. But thanks for the offer."
Aurelya nodded, satisfied.
