“I’ve been thinking about something.” “What’s that?” “Getting older.” He shifted on the couch to give me his undivided attention. “Are you afraid of getting older and me staying the same?” I shook my head. “No. I’m just a little confused.” “About?” “Well, Mina was turned when she was fourteen, and she’s still the same age.” “Vampires that weren’t born vampires and have been turned don’t age. They’re stuck at that same age,” he informed.

But Shifters were different then Mortals in they way that they aged. Where mortals were known to age once a year, for Shifters, the first few years of life was the same as a mortals. But after puberty.....after the Shift first takes them for the and the beast inside awakens, Shifters began to have a rapid decrease in their ageing. Mantilo had estimated that Shifters aged one year to a mortals every four or five. So in reality his sons were nearly decades older then they really appeared. And the same could be said for any of the other Leopards in Mantilo's Clan or other Shifters around the world, that were not pubescent yet.

I am 18, not 16. ----------------------

Viola says, gesturing for us to continue. “Well, our child and her mate are growing exponentially fast. We are a little worried to be honest.” “Well, the growth will be fast in a sense, but the toddler stage where she is now will last for another year or so. Then she will grow again to a bigger child and stay like that for a couple of years. That cycle will continue until she is of age at 18, and she will stay in the looks of an 18 year old for about 10 years. Then she’ll grow again to about mid twenties, and then stay like that for the next 200 years or so.” We exchange a look of surprise and shock, but also relief.

“You’re eighteen.” “And he’s twenty-three. That’s only five years, mum,” Gillian replied. “But it’s a big five years, Gilly,” their mother reached across the table and put her hand over Gillian’s. “You’re a teenager, and only just turned eighteen. He’s been an adult for five years now. So much happens during that time… He’s had time to make choices about his life that you’re only just facing. Those five years make so much of a difference.”

It was certainly a good thing that our age range wasn't too large a difference. Chang explained that his father had told him that the acceptable age range to even write the academy's exam is 15 to 19. Not more, not less. That was to say that, at the moment, there wasn't any student aged 20 and above within the walls of the academy of the new students batch, this year. For a moment, I couldn't help but shake my head as I thought about my 19 year old cousin, Dorothy. I quickly put it to the back of my mind.

He asked curiously. "Not quite. It is similar to your country's Eight Pillars tournament. However, it has one key difference. There are two different divisions based on age. The junior level and the senior level. The junior levels are for the younger students at the ages of twelve to fourteen and the senior division's minimal age is eighteen." "Did any of your kids join?" "Kazuha won the junior division martial arts competitions three times in a row which is how she managed to gain more recognition as the successor of the clan as well as in the school. She will qualify for the competition again when she turns eighteen."

But from the look that Acelon showed, he was probably around thirty-four years old. “Age is just number, it doesn't really matter. Look at your reflection in the mirror, aren't we the same? Humans are actually only classified into four types, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Right now we are both at the adult human stage, so aren't we the same?”

I couldn't understand what it meant but it sounded like a big deal. “Is there a specific time for the transformation to happen? Like a deadline?” I probed further She cast her gaze downward, looking into space, “Yes, between the ages of fourteen and eighteen.” “How old are you?” Her saddened eyes met mine and I could see the pain in them. “Twenty-three.” My heart sank at the realization. That was five years late and I couldn't imagine how she felt. Here I was thinking of her as a younger sister, when she was older than me.

They glanced at each other before they could answer. "No. Not that I know of. In Fact they normally shift at the age of twelve if they're boys and if girls at eighteen or so" it was Frank who said.
