As the three traveled, the cock shared his story.
Bruce said, "I'm from Bridgewater and was hanging around the inn. Do you know of the Bridgewater Inn?"
Mervin said, "I'm familiar with it. The people there don't like wizards and for good reason."
Bruce said, "Then you've also heard of Morgan the evil wizard."
Mervin said, "We've battled but all we can ever do is a draw."
Bruce said, "Well I fell for him. I became his familiar for a while and we had great sex. But then he grew tired of me and instead of letting me be human, he left me like this."
Jurgen said, "I hope we don't run into him on this journey."
Mervin said, "I'm sure we will. I only hope it's later than sooner, after I've acquired something."
Bruce said, "I heard that you, Merlin, would undo any transformations that Morgan did."
Mervin said, "As I can."
