"Will you stay here or go back home?" Ning asked Ely. 

"Uh… I will stay here for a bit. Go and do your work. It shouldn't take that long right?" Ely asked.

"No, maybe a day at most," Ning said. "If it takes too long, I will come back for you."

"Sure, go then," Ely said and sat down to cultivate next to the pond. 

Ning nodded and looked at the three beasts that were standing around, eager to leave. "Alright, let's go get one of your friends."

Night had turned into a small eagle that perched on his shoulder. Aegis turned into a small beetle that clung onto his robe like a badge of a chest. And finally, Blue turned to a very small flood dragon and wrapped it around his wrist a few times like a bracelet. 

"Are you guys sure you don't want to turn into your human forms or even stay in your normal forms?" Ning asked.
