Purt thought for a moment - was this what she wanted? To be whisked away to a private island world somewhere? To be a truly free pig, in a way she'd never experienced before?
<How Gore know so much?> she asked! unsure of that. Was he making it up? Was there no island?
<Grandma very wise old pig. She know all stories and tell me growing up. You want meet her?>
<Yes,> Purt answered.
<Gore not take every sow to meet grandma. Only special sow,> Purt couldn't help but feel proud at that. Jimmy certainly wasn't making her feel special. He got himself more sows as soon as he could.
Purt trotted after Gore into the shelter at the back of the petting zoo, where a large old hog sat in the corner, expectantly. Waiting.
<And here is Purt, the beautiful sow who was once a human. I've been waiting for you,> she grunted! taking Purt aback. She spoke so well, so fluently.
<Hello,> Purt said.
<You are wise to choose Gore. Your king, Jimmy, is a fool. Gore may not have power, but he is faithful. And that is valuable to our kind.>
<I... I not know who to pick.> Purt said. <Jimmy have power, make me new animal when he learn.>
<Goodness no, my dear. You will always be your lovely pig self. Even if he changes you back, which now he will never do. For he is selfish and uncaring. I can see into his heart. All you are to him is something which he may mate with, not a mate.>
Deep down, Purt knew it was true. Jimmy cared as much for her as he cared for anyone who wasn't himself.
<So I stuck? Here in zoo?>
<No, my dear. I am manipulating his new mates now, as they wake up. I will creep into their minds and suggest they stimulate him. He will involuntarily take his power to its maximum, and bring us all to where we are meant to go.>
< You do that? How?>
<Grandma is other magic. Jimmy change bodies, grandma change minds. She is great wise pig.> Gore explained, from the sideline so to speak.
<He is correct. There are two sides to the magic he possesses. I posess the other half. And now it begins. I am waking his sows up. Prepare yourselves, for we shall meet the bright lady before the zookeepers come to examine you.>
