“No!” Nathan exclaimed. He tried fighting again but Chris and Cameron were too strong for him. He looked at Craig, pulling the medallion out, watching Craig's fixation on the jewel.
“Oh shit no,” Nathan said, “No! No! No!” he said as he continued fighting. Although Chris and Cameron held him back they too were staring, fixated by the medallion. Craig looked up, briefly, at his friends.
“Do you all see what this thing can do?” he asked excitedly. “Shit!” he said! “Where did you find this thing, Nathan?” “Shit don't do it man! Don't!” Nathan, in fear for his life pleaded with Craig even as he saw him open the thread in an attempt to put it on. Craig looked up again at Nathan. “Tell me how this thing works” he commanded, looking back down. “I don't know,” Nathan said, almost sobbing, knowing that would could have been his was soon going to give itself to another. “Just...fuck! You just put it on!”
Craig was no longer listening, he didn't need instructions, he knew full-well what he was going to do and how it was going to happen. Looking back up he told Chris and Cameron, “well guys, looks like I'm going to gain some powers.” “Be careful, man,” said Cameron, “you don't even know what it could do.”
“I know all it can do,” Craig answered.
Looking back down he noticed his towel still wrapped around him. “I used to always say,” Craig said, grabbing his towel, “if you're gonna go all out," as he unhooked his towel, "might as well do it right.” He let it drop to his feet. Standing there naked exposing himself not embarrassed or aware but proud of the changes his body would encounter, showing himself off to the few who were witness As if his nakedness would somehow augment the powers he was going to receive, Craig draped the medallion's thread over his head and guided it onto his chest.
