[Congratulations. You have fulfilled the requirements to awaken your second clone.]
Evan stopped for a moment, surprised, though the surprise didn't last long.
Something shifted inside his SoulSea.
He felt it before he saw it, through his soul, through his skin, through senses that were sharper now than they used to be. A faint point of light appeared beside Shadow, small at first, then expanding rapidly until it became a sphere, crimson orange, glowing like a coal pulled from a dying fire.
'This…'
He recognized it immediately. The resemblance to what Shadow had been before becoming his clone was unmistakable.
'A fragment of inheritance,' he thought, recalling what the system had called it the first time.
The base form of what would eventually shape itself into a clone of his own.
He had been slightly caught off guard by the sudden event, but his composure quickly returned, his gaze sharpening.
'Just as I thought.'
