“Thanks,” said Amethyst, opening one of the forbidden books Oma had snatched from the library. She handed Nadia and Sahara two of the other books as she rapidly flipped through the pages.

“This is all so interesting,” said Sahara. “Who knew there was all this information on shifters!”

“I found something,” said Nadia, holding her book up to Amethyst. “I don’t know if this helps or not, but shifters have no set gender. Phila only assumes female form because she wants to.”

“That’s peculiar,” said Amethyst. “But keep searching.” They flipped through their books some more until Amethyst found what she was looking for.

“Okay we split Phila so there’s a .01% chance it will produce another Phila,” said Amethyst. “Depending on how we keep the conditions of it, we could potentially make another Phila.”
