As Illusia prepares to invoke her next enchantment a cold ominous smoke blows through the crowd freezing them in stasis....
The smoke forms nearby Illusia, who gasps as a mysterious figure with a flowing hooded blue cloak steps forth. The figure removes the hood revealing an old man with a grey beard glaring at Illusia and her subjects.
"Hello my dear Illusia, I thought I'd find you here causing mayhem"
"M-m-master Eyre to what do I owe the p-pleasure?" Illusia squeaked.
"You know why I've come Illusia, you broke the natural order of the council's mystic standards, 'no mortal shall be deprived of free will unless he or she fully understands the terms'. You broke that rule." he said pointing to the small boy who was unfrozen.
With a wave of his hand Eyre restored Joey to his adult age.
Looking confused, Joey gazed around fearfully.
"Do not worry boy, " spoke Eyre "I will deal with my foolish apprentice for her folly"
Joey nodded thankfully, although still fearful.
Illusia pleaded tearfully with Eyre, "Please great one have mercy!"
"Silence fool...your punishment is at hand!" Eyre boomed.
With a snap of his fingers Illusia begin to diminish her clothing growing around her. Illusia squealed pathetically begging for mercy as she shrunk and disappeared into her garments.
Eyre chuckled and walked over to the minuscule powerless naked woman as she tried to run. He grabbed her by her feet and rubbed his fingers over her tiny body.
In a flash Eyre disappeared with the tiny creature and the crowd was unfrozen, unsure as to what happened between Illusia's tricks and her disappearing act.
Joey heard a jolly voice as he was leaving with the rest of the crowd, "I have a mission for you boy, I will be in contact after I take care of a small problem".
