The three riders made an attempt to flee, but found themselves surrounded by the villagers.
"Let's ride through them!" shouted Dustin. But before either of them could proceed to run down the villagers, three darts had each hit the three horses. In a matter of seconds, Mike, Ty, and Joe were quickly transformed into white marble horse statues.
"Now... come down from those horses," said the man. "I don't think you'll get far with them in their present state."
Christine, Brian, and Dustin dismounted the three statues and approached the man slowly.
"Now here's whats gonna happen. You three are gonna drink these potions, then your stone friends are gonna drink these potions, then you're all gonna return to the farm and remain there as cows for the rest of your lives," said the man.
They didn't say a word or move a muscle. It was clear to the man that they had no intentions of returning to the farm. The man sighed and made a gesture to the villagers. Soon the villagers closed in on the three friends and held them down. The man took one of the potions and was determined to force them to drink it. He poured the potion down Brian's mouth, then Christine's, and finally Dustin's mouth. In an instant the three friends were transformed once again into their former bovine bodies.
"Looks like they're ready for a milking too," the man laughed observing their oversized udders starting to leak. The rest of the villagers joined in laughing as the cows stood there dumbfounded at the situation they were in. "Now for the other three."
The man poured a potion on the three statues and watched as the horses returned from their stone states and transformed back into their former cow bodies. The villagers laughed as the six cows stood there in their humiliating forms, unable to escape. The villagers tied a rope around each of the cows necks and proceeded to lead them back to the farm. The cows, who had seemingly forgotten about any thoughts of escape, obediently followed with each tug of the rope.
Then suddenly there was a bright flashing light that engulfed the entire area. When the light had vanished, the cows were surrounded by hundreds of chickens. Then from the distance, a woman approached the cows.
"I've been searching for you all for some time," she said.
With a wave of her hand, the cows slowly returned to their human forms. They removed the ropes from around their necks and looked over themselves.
"Not again," said Mike. Each of them was stark naked again.
They finally took notice of the woman and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman replied, "I am the one you seek!"
"WHAT?!" they all replied together.
The woman smiled and answered, "I am the Wizard!"
