"Ring of change?" Rei asked the older blonde girl.
"Yep, with that ring of change, you can change just about anyone or anything. You could make someone older or younger, you could turn a person into a dog, or a dog into a person." Gloria explained to the two young girls.
"Selling real magical items in a store like this? I don't believe it." Nat said shaking her head.
"Well come on, it could be fun to pretend, you know?" Rei said as Nat thought it over for a moment.
"You know what? What the hell, we'll get that ring of change from you guys." Nat said as she got out money from her purse.
"Now remember, you must be careful with how you use magic on others....." Merlin began saying before Rei interrupted.
"Yeah, yeah, this isn't the first time I've heard warnings about magic, I've read plenty of books, seen a plethora of movies, played a ton of games that have or involved magic in some way or another and I know it's always 'dangerous' or 'must be used cautiously'. Honestly, it's like everyone is programmed to say that to someone." Nat said as Gloria handed the two of them the ring while holding back a laugh at how true the girl's comment had been.
Nat and Rei left the magic shop and went out into the mall and looked over the ring, other than a gem and some markings, nothing stood out about the ring itself really.
"Maybe we could try using it on someone or someones?" Rei suggested as she looked up to see an elderly woman with her granddaughter and grandson.
"Let's try it on those three over there, just think of how you want them changed and maybe it'll happen." Rei suggested to her girlfriend as Nat concentrated on the three strangers.
