"Then let's make them part of the circus they love so much!" Then man grinned. "We could use some new blood in the freak show." he looked out at the audience. "What would you like to see?"
A variety of suggestions were made, from telepaths, to dog-people, to simply enormously fat. The man regarded Tayla and Jared for a moment and the gestured for silence. "I have it! But not the same for both - complimentary forms." He stared at Jared. "Alright, boy. You love plants. You live for plants. You are a plant, a male dryad."
If anyone in the audience did not know what a dryad was, they soon found out. Jared nodded. "I am a dryad." His clothing vanished, and his skin started to turn green. Lush grass replaced his hair, and his eyes become solid pale green. In under a minute he had become a boy sculpted in plant-life, still recognizable as Jared the boy, but obviously no longer human. Wildflowers and grass started to sprout from the ground under his green feet.
