"No!" You yelled. "We will not abandoned this poor man to torment. He has seen enough, and I will allow him to come with us." Angel began to protest but you held your hand up. "He must come with us, one way or another. If we allow him to stay here, he will most likely find us in his wolf form," You said.
Angel nodded and looked to the Ralph. She peeled off a piece of her cloak and robed Ralph to keep his dignity. "Take this and it will clothe you through your transformation and out of." Angel spoke and the cloth formed into white pants and vest around Ralph's body.
Ralph stood and admired his clothes, "Thanks, lady!" Ralph said. He winked at her and tested the endurance of his clothes by tugging on them.
"Come, we must go," You said and pulled back on your bag and belongings.

The three of you continued your way out of the clearing and into a field. Angel took up the lead once again and you began to move closer to the mountains. Over head, the clouds grew dark and a castle lurked in the distance, though you had to squint your eyes to see it.
"Medora, lay beyond the Jagged Mountains of the Tooth." Angel said and haulted on the plains.
"A week, huh. If I remember my biology, a straight line is the fastest way to Medora. Are you telling me that a straight walk to that castle will be a weeks journey?" Ralph grumbled.
"No," Angels said. "If we were to travel there, over the mountains, we would be swarmed by patroling Orcs. Orcs, that would eat your human flesh whilst you still scream," Angel starred at Ralph irritably.
"Oh, point taken!" Ralph smiled. "But why have we stopped?" Ralph asked.
"We've been walking for a day. The sky is turning dark, the sun will be down soon, and you will be our only threat." You said. "We must find shelter and some chains."
"chains?" Ralph asked.
"You won't do us much good if you're trying to kill us whilst we sleep," Angel muttered. "Milord, use the spell book. There should be something in there to use upon our wolven companion," Angel suggested.
You withdrew the book from your bag and scanned through it's texts for the appropiate spell. You found an interesting holding spell that contained several ingrediants. Angel helped you by finding them in your bag, as you were still unsure about using some of them after your last spell.
"Next I need some rope...or a string," You said.
"String?" Ralph said and pulled a bit of his hair out. "How's this?"
You looked at Angel who returned your own unsure look. "I believe that will do," You guessed. You performed the charm on the single strand of hair and chanted acordingly with the book. The hair glowed as a rythem began to make the book jump and bounce. When the spell was over, you took the hair strand and wrapped it around Ralph's finger.
"IT BURNS!" Ralph shouted and jumped up off the grass. Angel grabbed his shoulders and forced him to the ground as you continued to bind Ralph.
"I bind you, Ralph from doing harm against others and harm against yourself," You said and Ralph groaned and fell to the ground in a slowed writhing position. "Is it suppose to do this?" You asked Angel who shook her head.
"Tis' not the spell that harms our friend and drains him. The moon has come," Angel said.
You do not know how much time had past since casting your spell, but it was close to early evening. It seemed to be late night and the moon had reached it's zenith.
You watched in horror as Ralph's body covered in hair and his clothes ripped and tore from his body. "It's hot!" he cried and rolled out of the remains of his new tattered clothes and whimpered like a dog. You saw the clothes pull together to form a single piece of cloth resembling what Angel had given to him only this morning.
