"A beautiful princess." The others were startled.
"I think, I think maybe I was a girl before all this. I can't remember."
Mika gave the crying boy another hug. "You don't have to give a reason. I can't make you a king's daughter, but I can make you a pretty young girl. Is that what you want?"
Tobias gave a hearty honk to clear his nose. "More than anything."
Mika held the stone in his hand and concentrated. Tobias changed subtly at first, as his dark hair grew longer and his features finer. There wasn't much obvious change from the outside, but the others could see the twitchings and minor convulsions that went with the transformation of a prepubescent male body into a female one. Audrey quickly removed her cloak to cover Tobias's nakedness as his genitals became hers. But the most striking change was the way the grim expression on Tobias's face gave way to joy.
"I'm a girl now" she said.
"Yes you are!" said Mika.
