Derrick took her hands and drank, then felt a curious tingling that spread through his body. Watching his reflection, he was amazed to see his hair lighten until it was nearly white blonde, and his eyes go from brown to bright blue. His face shifted, features changing to become those of a totally different, but very handsome boy of the same age.

You have one week to select your brother - once he joins you, the two of you will remain children forever, minor gods of the Greek deities. If you fail, you will become a normal boy again, though you will still be 12 years old."
