Fransico could not hold himself back....curiosity was getting the better of him. He wanted to wake ric, but before he did he checked the spellbook. The spell had created a physical transformation, but if he woke Ric, he might remember all that had happened, and then call attention to his transformation - causing trouble. As it was, Mendez wanted Ric's mind to match his new body perfectly, what was more, he didnt want anyone else to be able to alter Ric other than himself, that they would think this was normal. Flipping through the book, the former teacher found a spell that looekd extremely powerful. It was a spell of world transformation, that would change everyone in the world to a mythical creature...usually their favorite one. What was more, he could make them all the same age. The idea of a world of young mythical creatures was something that piqued Mendez interest.
For now though, he wanted his faun friend. So he found the spell of mind and began to chant it. There were no physical transformations, but Franco could hear the boy let out a soft gasp as his mind and memories, his thoughts and personality were changed. He groaned and his eyes fluttered open. "Franco...?" His voice was soft. "Are you there?"
Mendez froze a moment, standing there with the book. The young faun rose up, his eyes impossibly deep....loving, he took Mendez by the hand. "I know what you did...I sense the magic..."
Mendez froze but Ric continued, "Thank you for freeing me from my mortal bondz. In return, I will love you...help you acheive your own wish, from the other spell..."
