In the court of Quell, Jeffrey sweated profusely. Every set of eyes, every smiling face
looked as if they saw right through his magical disguise as Prince Eodor of Quell. He had
some of the prince's memories and information to get past any code words of the sort, but
he worried that it was not enough.
He was repentant for the debauchery he engaged in on Pleasure Island. He would never
forget his time as a feral beast. He just wanted to go home, but that was not part of the
bargain. Dana had told him that he had to continue as a body double for Prince Eodor until
the Sorceress Igna was done working her magic on the prince.
Suddenly, the massive court doors opened as a loud flapping noise came through.
Members of the court held onto their hats and dresses as the powerful winds blasted
through the door.
Through the doors came a flying athletic woman, her reddish-brown skin bare of any

of it leaped a young demon girl, winged, horned and clothed in a one-piece. The gate
quickly closed behind her. She looked around at Jeffrey, and he recognized her as Dana,
the girl who had saved his life.
Dana looked relieved to see Jeffrey still alive, then quickly turned to the speechless crowd
