Badenwald was a small town and the Badenwald Inn was the only inn in town so naturally it was the center of attention.
Mervin and Jurgen approached the owner and Mervin said, "I'd like a meal for one and a bed for one."
The owner said, "But there are two of you."
Mervin changed Jurgen into a statue. "No, there's only me, Mervin the wizard. Or would you prefer to be a frog?"
The owner said, "Ah, my mistake. You better be careful wizard. You're on the edge of Arvath and the people out there don't take too kindly to wizards."
Mervin said, "I'll keep that in mind."
He changed Jurgen back into a boy and Jurgen followed him to a table. The meal had chicken and corn in it and it was served with cornbread. They had an abundant crop of corn that year. Mervin changed Jurgen into a mouse and said, "Go ahead and eat your fill."
Jurgen barely made a dent in the food before he was full and Mervin ate the rest. Mervin said, "See, all your needs can be supplied easily."
Mervin changed Jurgen back into a boy and Jurgen got dressed quickly.
Mervin said, "You better get over your squeamishness about nudity. I will transform you often but I will not keep bothering with your clothes. We might just discard your clothes at some point. Besides, little boys love to run around naked."
Jurgen said, "Well I'm still an adult despite my body."
Mervin said, "Suit yourself. Literally."
They went to their room which was small but had a fireplace in it. Jurgen started a small fire. Mervin settled into a chair, then he grabbed Jurgen by the torso and Jurgen's clothes fell off again. This time, he changed into a pipe. Jurgen's head was the bowl and his torso was the stem.
Jurgen the pipe looked like someone had carved him to look like a strapping young farmhand. He was made of wood. The mouthpiece of the pipe was Jurgen's manhood.
Mervin said, "There's another reason I chose you for this. I'm quite attracted to you." Mervin put tobacco in the pipe and lit it. Jurgen felt all warm inside and he could feel the smoke being sucked through his manhood. It was almost like an orgasm every puff.
Jurgen didn't want to say it yet but he was attracted to Mervin as well.
Jurgen asked, "How do you get mana?"
Mervin said, "I create it. I use a recipe that includes fairy dust, mandrake root, dragon blood, plant eye and a few other ingredients we'll pick up along our journey."
It grew late and Mervin turned Jurgen into a pillow for the night. Mervin said, "Thanks to you, I could pack light cause you can be whatever I need.
Jurgen slept happily feeling appreciated.
The next morning, the door opened and in walked in a cock. The cock walked on it's balls like they were feet. The cock said, "I'm looking for Mervin the wizard."
The cock's name was Bruce and an evil wizard had turned him into a walking cock. Mervin tried to undo the spell but it was too strong of a spell and Mervin didn't have enough mana.
So the three headed out, Bruce going with them in hopes Mervin would find the ingredients for mana along the way. This time, Jurgen was changed into a horse.
