Karl focused on the beast spaces to form a new one at the Mythic Rank, and filled it with mana, so that the new arrival would be comfortable when they hatched.
[Drumroll please.... DUH, DUH, DAH] Cara narrated as Karl prepared the space.
A gentle touch transferred the egg into the newly created beast space, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the notification.
{Partner Bond Accepted}
{New Beast Bonded} False Island Giant Turtle
{Name} Leo
{Rank} Mythic
{Shared Skill} [Implacable] The False Island Giant Turtle is eternal. Sleep, Confusion and Stamina Loss effects do not affect the False Island Giant Turtle.
[Ooh! That is a good one. Do you see that, Dana Mage? The Karl will no longer ever run out of stamina or get sleepy.] Opal cheered.
[There is something wrong with your brain. I am restricting your reading materials.]
The empty space began to change, with the formless void slowly turning into a large island surrounded by warm salt water. A few trees formed on the island, but the others immediately began to make offerings, placing plants that they thought Leo might like in his space.
The egg hadn’t hatched yet, but the plants shifted to grow evenly spaced around the island.
[Not even hatched yet, but he’s got a decent sense of decor.] Remi noted.
The egg rocked a little, as if the occupant was half asleep, and not in any hurry to escape their confinement.
Then, the thick grey shell tore, and a deep green turtle’s head emerged.
Leo looked around at his domain, then nodded and began to tear a larger hole in the leathery shell of the egg with his beak.
[This is just agonizingly slow.] Remi noted.
[I am a turtle, not a Crocolisk. Why are you in such a hurry?] Leo replied, even his mental voice slow and measured, with a slight drawl.
[Do you like swamps?] Remi asked hopefully.
[Swamps are nice. Warm and earthy. Not as good as clean fresh water, though.]
Remi smiled. The turtle got it.
The swamp was the best place to be, but getting muddy sucked.
Leo chuckled softly as he freed himself of the shell, then floated into the air.
[I have ways around getting muddy.]
Remi giggled, and then transformed into Spirit Snake form, which could float above the ground just as easily as the giant turtle.
[He’s a crunchy Remi.] Hawk gasped.

However, the portals were all closed now, and the fight in the city was all over except the cleanup and rescue efforts.
