Eric found nothing much to speak of and wondered then of his friend Ryan. Tracing his steps bak he slowly headed in the general direction Ruan took. The stairway down to the basement was just as dark for Eric as it was for Ryan. The same time his second match burned out he too noticed the dull blue light flickering about the basment's floor and walls.
Slowly moving about Eric called, "Ryaaaaan !"
Turning a corner Eric came face to screen with the Traveller.
"Ryaaaan!" called Eric again.
"Ryan has passed into what was, his life is changed and so also was his body. Now he has now way to return to this time till the change is reversed. Come travel through time, let the Traveller be your doorway to adventure!" said the voice coming from within the blue haze.
"Where oh where has Ryan gone?" asked Eric cautiously.
The blue haze flickered and like the screen was playing a major motion picture Eric watched what transpired after Ryan entered the portal into time.
Eric laughed at the sight of the beautiful woman taking a bath and Ryan falling out of thin air and into her marble bath. The splashing and screaming, then the woman standing and calling for her robe.
Eric's eyes about went blind when the two female Fauns entered the scene bringing the robe and standing in their naked beauty.
"Who's the pretty Lady?" asked Eric as he licked is lips almost wishing to join his friend in that sudsey pool.
"Daughter of the Sun God, she is Circe a Greek Witch of great power! Your friend asked to visit her and just talk but his entrance disturbed the Witch causing Ryan to loose his form and become something trapped in this time period." replied the Traveller.
"Please continue showing me what happened!" ordered Eric.
Quickly the scenes whipped by till the last scene of the brown shaggy haired bull which had been Ryan' was led away by the Minotaur Cow creature.
Then the screen turned back to its blue haze.
"Well what happened to him?" asked Eric.
"Your friend was made into a Scottish Shaggy haired bull and living twenty two years sired hundreds of calves for the use and feeding of Circe and her many Aides." replied the Traveller.
"You mean Ryan was a bull the rest of his life?" asked Eric his voice getting choked up with from fear.
"He is as he then was and will be then a part of common history unless someone enters time before your Friend was changed and stops the transformation from taking place!" exclaimed the Traveller.
Eric turned about and ranoff to find the others, they had to be told and shown what Ryan had gone and done.
