Laura turns towards Christine, and quickly flew towards her. You did not see her wearing a dress, so you felt relieved. That was until you saw what was on her head.
“A tiara?! Christine! Witches need to wear more than that! I thought you were going to turn him into a dress!” Laura shouted.
“Why is that such a problem? You wanted to turn him into jewelry,” Christine responded.
“Yeah, because fairies are small and we don’t need as much clothing! You, as unclothed as you are right now, are a monster magnet and vulnerable to spells! We need to find you another man to transform, and I don’t think you noticed, silly, but there aren’t many left!” Laura scolded.
“I just wanted a tiara. I am distantly descended from Skylia royalty. At the moment, I am technically still a princess and all I wanted was to look like one…” Christine said, a bit shyly.
“I thought you hated being royalty. That’s what you told me growing up.”
“Back when I was still a man. But I’m not one anymore, and I like being a princess. And maybe I can use my influence to find another body to wear,” Christine suggested.
“I thought we decided on one man each. Because that’s all that was necessary,” Laura said.
“We did. And I messed up. But ok, it’s one more man. Two isn’t that many compared to what the rest of Imperia’s witch division had captured. So, how do we find our last victim…”
“Please don’t call them that. We’ll treat them well… you promised you would take good care of them!” Laura reminded Christine.
You felt your soul crushed when you found out that John had transformed. It really seemed like this was it, that there was no more hope. The revelation that Christine was actually Skylia royalty was a shock though, and the fact that you were so close to royalty almost made you feel better. The thought almost made you jealous of John.
Having nothing to do, no way to move or pass the time any other way, you start thinking of multiple things. How John was feeling popped up first. Then you wondered if Todd was okay. Finally you pondered if Laura was going to take you to Skylia.
