Dean's body suddenly was engulfed by a spiral of flames that formed into a sphere around him. You took a few steps back in order to not risk your fur catching on fire. When the flames died down, you stared at Dean in awe. Dean was now a horse sized bird with a golden beak and talons that matched it, and his feathers were ruby red and flames on the edge of his tail feathers.
"So now you know, I'm a phoenix, I can't really wear clothes like this. Don't tell anyone you about this alright?" Dean asked
You were compelled to obey, but couldn't speak a word after what you just saw.
"I see my transformation surprised you, well don't be. It's just a regular thing I have to do nowadays, I have more experience with magic than most can have over lifetimes of training. However, my life is pretty boring all things considered." Dean said
"Why?" You asked
"I can't die!" Dean sqawked, and then paused and cleared his throat,"Sorry about that, but it's true. I'm not an emo or anything but when you literally can't die then there's not much excitement in life. Even if I get killed, I just disintigrate and reform within the next one hundred years or so."
"Oh, how long have you lived?" You asked
"Let's just say this world Earth isn't 4.5 billion years old, more like 87 sextillion at least. I honestly lost count after the whole meteor hit the planet, and don't say 65 million years ago it was far longer than that." Dean said
"Uh...ummm," you said awkwardly scratching your head
"Sorry, age really doesn't exist for me, and I did have parents, and they did die, but they're just off planet trying to create stars. I help them sometimes, but that's only if one of them dies, sorry this might be too much to comprehend for you." Dean said
"Maybe?" You said questioning yourself
"Yeah it is, now as for you, oooooh. You're not going to like this, but you aren't just a anthro fox who's extremely sexy to any human, or fox alive. You also have to obey any orders that you are given, and this includes if you have a decision too, you will always answer "yes" and obey. The real question is, who put a curse like this on you?" Dean said
"Okay so you can undo this right?" You asked
"Well, you see the thing is that I would, but you know my secret. If I were to change you back I would also have to completely wipe your memory clean of any memories, and this includes any education you've had, so you will basically become a man-baby, or zombie. There are some things I can change about it though, I can change what you are in terms of your animal species, but it prohibits you from being human. Thankfully you can't give a command to transform into something else, but whoever created this anticipated that I, or at least someone as powerful as me would try to change you back. What I mean is, you can't escape this, or at least until we find whoever did this. I can also do something that may benefit you, or us if you'd like." Dean said
"What is it?" You asked
"Well this isn't a yes or no question, but you must choose one of what I am about to tell you. You can go off and work with me to find whoever did this, or I can transform you into something else and make you immortal. It doesn't necessarily have to be a phoenix either if you don't want it to be." Dean said
Suddenly something triggered in your mind and you said,"I don't mind if you turn me into a phoenix, in fact I'd like that."
"What really?" Dean asked lifting his wings up slightly excited, and you nodded
"It's nice that you agree with me, but we still have priorities so which do you want? Phoenix immortality, or revange?" Dean asked
