Daini and Therony were pounding each other. Today's training, hand to hand combat and the first session in a while did not lessen in intensity. Their steps sent up red specks of dirt, Daini was trying to take out his legs and kneecaps. A horrible outcome since they were on the valley's top, a wrong step or a forceful blow would of sent muse and dragon alike the short way back down to the bard's cave.  

"Why is this necessary?"
"If you are stuck in a small space and must fight your way out."

"I did that already." Therony snatched her thrusting foot up with his bladed tail. The half form made sure not to cut her limb and yanked, tripping her up.
She waited until his tail slipped back behind him. "What? You honestly think that you can handle anything now?" Daini wasn't stunned or hurt, but feigned exhaustion.

"No. No one is always prepared for everything..." Therony's eyes widened. Daini launched herself at the white from her prone position. The two collided, armored shoulder into scaled stomach, they crashed along until they came to a rest at the edge of the valley's shelf.
"You better remember that." The dark muse batted Therony's horns then got up. She held out her gauntlet covered hand.

"Yeah... I don't think I'll forget your bag of tricks." Holding one claw onto his side, he rose on his own. The rest of his body didn't have his head's legendary durability. "Plus you would of suckered me like the first few times we started this if I took your hand." Therony gazed down at his home "OH! You did remind me of something else!"

LADY TESHA! Midnight on Cyrasis meant midday on his friend's world. For once he wouldn't wake her up.
Yes silly bard? Everything felt right in his mind with her reply; he definitely did remember correctly this go around.

You must come when the portal appears. I want to give you something.
Really? What is in that bag of tricks of yours this time?

She felt a whimsical vibe with his response. No tricks. Just the bag I guess. Are you up to anything that you can't drop on by?

Acortesha shook her head; Shadow and Ro were not there. Often he wrongly assumed they lived there like his muses did in his home. Her abode was quite silent this day. I wish. Okay, when you are ready.
See ya soon!

Therony turned back to Daini. She knew the moment he ignored her question of What's going on? The white was seeking out or speaking to his best friend. "We must get back home."

"All right." Her black wings opened then closed against her back. There was no return once the bard's mind settled on something. "We could just glide down." The valley itself wasn't feral in its magical ways anymore. The mist surrounding it was natural as most of the western lands. The change seemed to start when Iniad's nurturing hand began to till the land and his recent successes.

"Ahh..." Therony peered over the edge once again. It did not matter if he stood six feet tall and have stronger wings or he could change into the Shadow Dragon. A shot of nerves ran though him when he gazed at such drops. "Fine."

Iniad sighed; their creator left nearly everything possible out of place in the main room. "I thought a dragon would take better care of their possessions." Every one of her wings extended into different rooms, returning something to its proper place. The last of the inspiring trio was due back from Easiys Island any moment. If he found out the white guardian dragon was lurking about his personal space, a very shocking development would occur. Behind her ever calm demeanor, the light muse was grateful that her sister started an impromptu lesson. Ever since he gained his full guardianship, Therony had even more energy if that was possible. The changing of seasons did not help matters either.

She saw the game he left on. A long eared person carrying a blue handled sword in one hand and an emblem covered shield in the other, standing there in a open forest tapping the front of their brown boots on the ground.

"Goddess be!" Iniad yelped, forgetting she used an expression referring to herself. She saw a dimensional portal materialize in front of her. Therony blew by her and the magical transport, now back to his smaller self.

Acortesha saw the ivory blur just as she reached the bard's end of the portal. Where are you going?

That item remember?

"Hello again." Iniad smiled. The silver dragoness certainly filled something missing in their creator's life. Perhaps she could help reign in this extra energy he possessed?

"Good tidings Acortesha." Daini's voice was sincere, masked under the stern nature she always showed. The dark muse was Therony's equivalent to the assassin Shadow for the warrior, scary, strict but caring.

Therony came back holding something over his head, humming a song. The bard held a brown leather bag. A gold string tied its top up. "Ta da!" The bottom now formfitting in his talons. "Perfectly so for Tesh. You can carry anything in here." Placing it on the ground, Therony untied the bag and a shark popped out.

"THERONY!" Daini snarled, never amused by the strangeness in him.

The bard however, instantly had his warhammer. "Keelhaul it all! You scurvy scalawags! Down down down! Mine mine mine!" After repeatedly bashing the black shark on the nose it slunk back inside. The smallest dragon panted. "I didn't know that was in there!"

"Think I'll like him." His silver friend grinned evilly.

Daini acted like he did and bashed his head with her fist. After hundreds of such strikes, her hand didn't hurt anymore when she did such a thing. "Why didn't you check it out before!?"

He wasn't too keen on aquatic life, his guardian status did not change that at all. It didn't help he was the size of a fish dinner compared to that thing either. So his tongue did not hold back. "Oh zip it...! The thing didn't show the first five times I opened it!" After he tied it up again he laid down on the ground. Magic bags...bah!

Acortesha smirked as she lifted it up, catching his thought on their mind link. "Thanks Therony. No harm done."

Cyrasis endures several infusions of magic to counteract the little white's presence on the world. Many times these bursts were indistinguishable and harmless. A few was felt for a short time after its dispersion and even less left a lasting effect. Eventually the world adjusts and any lingering effects wear off. The last felt like eons ago. However, on this late eve on Cyrasis such a wave made its rounds.
This one was the strongest yet. When it hit the four of them, they all fell to the ground unconscious.

Acortesha woke up first, head buzzing in pain. So much of it she inwardly used her holy magic to calm it down. However, those ice blue eyes saw something very wrong with the bard's home. "What the...?" Everything appeared bigger than normal. No... That could not be it. She rose to her feet and gasped. She was off! A low growl forced her to turn around. Therony rubbed his eyes blearily. He appeared as if he would fall off his booted feet. Boots? Since when did he wear boots?

"Therony!" She yelled. The bard was in his half form but wearing clothes she never saw him in.

He peered down and nearly jumped into the ceiling. Acortesha was not much taller than the white in his natural form. A strange shaped helmet on top of her violet hair, one of her eyes were covered by an extension of it. Where as he was the normally runed soul... this time she had several glowing symbols on her body. His recent memory appeared out to lunch for now.

"What's going on?" She yelped.
That was a good question, but he had a simple solution. "Incoming magic. That paradox and all... Just hasn't happened in a while."

Acortesha didn't panic,  her Guardian knew that she recently went through her own trials. She focused on changing back to normal. Just one problem... "I can't change!?" She felt her shapeshifting power, it just was not coming to the surface.
The bard picked her up,  setting her on his shoulder. "Looks like my world is going to keep you that way for a bit. It will wear off soon enough." His words remained serious, but he inwardly chuckled about the situation. He always said no one can complain till they walked in his shoes... They suddenly heard a yell from the TV screen.

"I forgot that Daini pulled me from my game..." The pointy eared game hero took one too many steps and walked off a high ledge in that forest. Glancing down, his bladed tail was draped over the controller.
"You look like him." Acortesha pointed out matter-of-factly.

One silver eye widened, his friend was right on the money. Therony wore exactly what the character did. The elfy hat, as he called it, situated in between his horns. That brown arm length gauntlet on his right. A contrast to the duo's black manacles. "Well... I guess that's cool." Taking up the gift bag he gave her, Therony noticed they were two muses short.

"Let's find my entourage and wait this out."
"First find some pants."

He scratched his head, this getup did have... "No pants?!" If his scales could, they would blush neon red. "Never knew a hero without pants... who saves the world without pants?!"

Heading toward his room, They saw the bard's den went through its own changes. There were several more corridors and rooms than normal.
"This is new..." A bit nonplussed, the Guardian saw others roaming about his home. None of them looked friendly. "I can't see their auras."
Lil' Tesh stood beside him, she wanted to walk on her own for a bit. "All this for pants...?"

"You're telling me." He frowned. "Might as well get this over with. Come on." When they entered the next room, bars slammed down behind them cutting off not only their entrance but the exits as well.
"M... M... Moblins!" Therony yelped, before scratching his head. "Think that was the wrong game..."  The cry  caught the attention of the dog faced baddies. Armed with their spears, they charged the brave duo. The bard lifted up Tesh and held her in front of him like a shield.

"THERONY!" She yelled.

"Sorry! Wrong game again!" He jumped to the side of the first charge, still holding his friend. The first  Moblin nearly crashed into the wall. The second however was still coming.  
"Would you do something!?" Tesh snarled. The whole time she felt her own natural ability being negated by something. The other attack stood only a heartbeat away from skewering his friend.

Therony again jumped to the side and backed up, facing their enemies until he reached the other side of the room. The two Moblins looked around and somehow did not see the green tunic he wore.

"Mmm, just like the game. As long we aren't close, they won't strike." After setting down Tesh again, he thought out the situation. The bard knew the bars won't open unless the overgrown armored mutts were beaten. He tried summoning his warhammer but that like Tesh's own abilities were suppressed by something, most likely the magical wave.

"Okay, this isn't good at all. How can we beat them with no..." His eye glanced down at his hip. "Maybe..." He opened up the magic pouch. "Oh this is..." The bard smirked evilly, taking out a strange contraption. His favorite item in that game. The spear like tip at its end did not do the weapon justice. Pressing a button on the steel hilt sent that tip out along with a long chain.

"What is that?" Tesh questioned, keeping one eye on their enemies on the other side of the room.
"The Hookshot. This will work just fine." His silver friend pulled down the bag  and peered in as well. If his grin was evil, hers was completely demonic.

"You can keep that, I'll take these." She lifted up the blue bomb the hero in the game always carried.

"Ack! Toss it!" She wondered why he pointed at her but saw it firsthand when she brought the explosive down from overhead. The fuse was lit! She chucked it at the last second before exploding in their faces, it harmlessly doing so in midair. "Why do they lit up when they are overhead... I have no clue. I never seen the guy light one up ever now that I remember."

The two started plotting out their attack. He would draw close enough to strike with the Hookshot and she would bomb the other one.
"Sneak. Sneak Sneak." He taunted, creeping up slowly to one of the Moblins. His vision blurred a bit as he started to target the enemy's back with the Hookshot. Tesh, taking position on his head,  on the other claw had her bomb over head and tossed it. It bounced twice right at the second Moblin's feet.

BOOM! POW! The explosion took out both of them before Therony had a chance to fire.
"Awww..." The two Moblins sailed onto their backs before disappearing in a pyre. "You're ebil." He feigned sorrow.

"You keep telling me that." She patted his cap filled dome.

A telltale melody played as the bars on every door rose up together. In the center of the room a treasure chest appeared before their eyes. Both of them saw the gold lined box and made a beeline for it, well Therony did. Tesh had to use his horns to keep herself from flying off.

"Something big." Therony held a Kool-Aid type grin on his face. Lifting up the top, a shower of green, blue and yellow light met his face as he lifted up the item over his head.
RAWR!

His grin became one of completely confusion. "There is no item in the game that goes RAWR!" Peering up his eyes went wide! He dropped the item and ran.

Lil Tesh saw a magical box appear where the bard once stood. "You gained PocketShark!" It was that same black shark that popped out of the bag before all of this insanity. "This crazy beast will chase and eat anything in its path. Comes with its own chasing music too! It does not need water to move either! You can set him to any of your action buttons to set him loose in the direction you're facing, press it again to recall him back with a whistle." She saw it first hand as PocketShark chased Therony around the room. Its wide jaw only seconds away from having fillet of White.

"Yay! I'll definitely like him." She whistled and the big eyed shark came to a stop. It plopped and flopped until it came to a rest in front of Tesh. Therony latched onto one of the high torches stuck in the wall of his transformed cave. It indeed did like the silver dragoness, nuzzling while her making...  chirping noises? If he did worried about being chomped on, he would of questioned that.

"Ebil... really ebil." Therony dropped back down to the ground, panting.

"Okay, back into the bag PocketShark." She pointed to the magical item he dropped while running and sure enough the bottomless pit called PocketShark shuffled, plopped then hopped into the bag. Lil Tesh held the bag for the bard to take.

"It's gonna be one of those days..."

The tiny silver climbed up to her perch on his shoulder while the hero took up the bag. "You like this. Just don't want to admit it."
Therony's eyes rolled twice over. "Oh yeah... running to avoid becoming shark chow. Really enjoying it... which door?" The two gazed at their choices. The bard figured it had to be the door on the far right. If his world transformed his den, then the clothes he does own lied on the lower floor. As long Cyrasis didn't twist things around, that was the right door.

"PocketShark said to go straight."

"What?" Therony turned his head and saw his pal talking to the magical bag. Sure enough he heard that accursed creature growling and chirping.

"But... my room would be further over that way." He pointed. "How does that thing know where anyway?!"
"Want to ask him?" She held the string which held the magical bag.

"Er...nevermind. Straight it is."

The next room was east to describe. Two platforms. On the further away landing another large chest sat in its center, on the corners stood four burning torches. Their platform had two torches and a very odd shaped stone next to Therony. What kept them from the chest? A massive chasm. Neither dragon could see its bottom.

"Well... let's see here." The bard hopped up onto the switch and saw pathways materialized all across the gap, upon stepping off and they vanished. "Simple enough." He picked up his friend and placed her on the switch. "Wait here. I'll be back."

"Why can't I come?"
"There is nothing else here to keep the switch down. Those torches won't budge."

Therony didn't get a third of the way before... "What the!?" He screamed as he dropped, being wingless suddenly became a major problem! Tesh jumped when she heard a crash behind her.

"Augh..." Therony crash-landed onto next to the switch. "I'm still alive...?" After patting himself to make sure, he glared up. How was that possible? Then realized something, his gaze burned downward. "You moved off the switch!? You tried to kill me!?"

"NUUUU!" She shook her head fiercely, pointing down. Lil Tesh did stand on the trigger still.

Therony claimed his own insanity time and time again but he's not loony enough to walk off a ledge into a bottomless chasm. Without any proof, he started to wonder why he fell then. "...I'll try it again. Stay there."

This attempt was better.

"Stay PocketShark!" He heard Tesh and blinked in confusion. Why did she...? He suddenly saw himself falling down again, screaming all the while.

"AUGH!" Therony cried out again at his faceplant landing, colliding next to the critical point of this room again. He hopped up and glared at his friend again. "You got off!"

RAWR! Unnoticing of her pet standing on the switch, the bard had his back to it. "Why did you get off!?"

Lil Tesh dragged her foot like a guilty child. "I wanna see what's in there too."
"Someone has to stay here!" He raged, if it was normal Cyrasis, his fire breath would of shown itself.

"You don't look so hot..." Tesh's helmet covered head cocked to the side. Therony panted while just standing there. The three of them started to hear beeping.

"That not good..." Both dragons exclaimed, with their mutual humor.

RAWR RAWR! PocketShark added. The bellow finally did register to the white. He swung around and saw the teeth of the black fish. "AUGH!" Therony jumped back and saw Tesh point down again.

"Ehhhh?" He got one eye to look down at the black void he stood over... before yelling again.

This time he crash landed in that quickly becoming familiar spot and stood. "I'm good..." before dropping to the floor on his knees first then sprawled out completely.

"Therony?" Lil Tesh poked him and he didn't move, didn't breathe either. She saw a light come out of her bag, it was a minute faery.

I'm free of that fish smelling bottle. Five years in that thing! Screw you guys I'm going... ACK!

Lil Tesh snatched up the Faery, loathing the fact her own magic was blocked out. "You listen here! Help my friend!" She thrusted her catch down to the motionless white.

"Why should I?" The dragoness couldn't see the faery talk, she generated too much light that hid her features but impossibly so not enough to blind anyone.

"If you don't... I'll feed you to him!" Tesh pointed the mystical creature to PocketShark, who drooled at the delectable choice of a little "angel" food.

"EEP! Okay Okay!" The faery yelled, flailing her arms. She squirmed out of Tesh's small grasp and flew around Therony giving off her magic in no time flat

The bard stood again, yawning as if he was asleep for years. "Whew that was a good nap..."
He was pounced from both sides. Tesh hugged him on one side while her pet licked the other.

"What the...?! EWWWW!" He cringed. "Er, what was I doing?"

The changed dragoness pointed to the shiny treasure box, taunting them from afar. "Getting that."

"Ahhh ok." Therony stood and shook himself to get the shark drool off. He caught sight of the switch, getting bad feelings about it. "Someone has to stay here. On that."

"I wanna see what's in there too!" Protested his friend, she capped it off by jumping up and down in a pusedo-fit.
"But if you don't stay here..." He started to feel something gnaw on his scaly skull, and one guess was all he needed to figure out what. "Cut that out you bottomless pit!" PocketShark jumped; that being the second time Therony even stood up to him.

Once he wringed out his elf hat, the duo decided to leave Tesh's pet on the switch.
His small pal sat on his head as they walked across the invisible platforms. They had to ignore the very sad sounds from PocketShark. The weird shark felt like they abandoned him. His owner and favorite chew toy...

"Why do I feel really relieved that we made it here?" Therony paused in front of the big chest.
His friend knew why but was not going to say, for once thankful that their natural abilities were hampered. "...I don't know. What's in there!?" She pounded his head lightly.

"Wish I had a better helmet..." He remembered the last time he opened one of these things. Nearly blinded by the light anew the bard yanked out the object.

"Oh ho ho ho! The Boss Key!" He grinned, holding it up overhead, eye level to his friend. The large gold key twinkled and sparkled with every twist of his claws.

"Oooh Pretty." Tesh's visible eye glittered just as strongly.
"Looks like fishface was right."

For his comment Therony promptly got a fist to the head. "Of course PocketShark was right. He's my pet!"

They crossed back over without incident. He set her down on the ground then peered back to the door. They had the key, it meant the boss lurked... but what was it? His mind soon brainstormed ideas, making him oblivious to Tesh whistling for her aquatic animal. While this adventure took aspects of the game, he was certain that the massive monstrosities in it did not lurk on Cyrasis, Transformed or not.

"Gahhhhh!" THUMPPP...Trample.
Therony's eyes widened when he saw the black thing too late, PocketShark running over him to get to her.

"Wow... I never thought eyes changed like that." She saw the bard's eyes alter when enraged or he was the Shadow Dragon. But this time, his orbs did not follow any of that. It as if someone tattooed two X's where his silver eyes were.

The black fish started gnawing on his head.

"No. We do not eat our bard when he can't fight back." The one-foot tall silver sounded like a parent correcting its child. Her pet chirped lowly despite having a good portion of Therony's skull in its grasp still.

Therony rose to a sitting position. "What hit me?" He scratched PocketShark just past the gills, thinking he was touching his own head. But his gaze turned grim, "Get off me you bony fish!"

"Yesh, we have to move on PocketShark. Back into the bag." The shark whimpered but did what he was told.

"My elfy hat you bottomless pit!' The clothed, if that, white exclaimed, glaring at the magical bag Tesh held. He refrained from booting the bag, despite how tempting it was. It jumped out of the bag and landed with a sputter at his feet.

The green head gear completely soggy from the tip to bottom. Therony sighed, wringing the thing out over the ledge. For an odd reason he started to wonder how did the hero of his game take all those falls and not lose his hat...
Both friends doubled back the way the came, this time going through the door Therony wanted to before.

"Good thing I got a chauffeured coach." Tesh smirked; the room was even simpler than the chasm chamber. A very long torch lit set of stairs. An enormously high amount of steps between them and a massive door with a skull design masked from their vision. A ridiculously abundant staircase that stopped before a just as vast locked down entrance.

"WE GET THE POINT!" The bard raged suddenly, Lil Tesh yelped and leaped until she landed in Therony's arms.
"Who are you yelling at?"

The white did a double take realizing what he did. "Ahhhhh...the fourth wall? No matter... come on, we're almost there."

"There is a sign here." The silver's words turned his attention to their right.
Reading it, the bard if he was drinking something would of spit it out in a heartbeat. "Beware of Wall Masters... GAH!" Therony cringed. "The most cheapest enemy in the game's history!"

He peered frantically to the walls at the sides. Nothing so that meant...

Glancing up, he yelped. "Hold on!" As often Acortesha held a smaller Therony in her mitts, this time the tables were turned. He backflipped, landing just before the door entered from. A giant hand landed with a muffled clomp. "Don't ask...those are Wall Masters! If I get caught we get kicked out back to the start of muh home!" The bard suddenly saw his shadow expand by the second. Another was coming down for them!

This time he rolled forward at an angle just to make sure the first didn't get him. Tesh managed to get out of his grasp and used his momentum and body as a rock. Running on top of his being. Therony scrambled to his feet, snatching up sure his pal in one nearly fluid motion.

"I should toss you down there!" He hopped to the side to avoid another than continued running.
"You do and remember it the next time we fly." She countered.

"I always say one thing in situations like these." He flipped back again.
"'That is?"

Therony ran back to the entrance nearly as several came in quick succession. "DANCE!" Any game he played where he had to dodge several shots, or anything in close areas or in succession. Being so frantic in movements it pretty much was just that to him. Using his pal as a makeshift football, the bard in green did a wide half circle to get any and all type of momentum he could then started to sprint down the stairs.

Tesh pointed. "Wall!" Therony moved just enough to avoid it, Tesh held out in front of him.

"Ice!" What they could not see before from their higher elevation and sloping ceiling was a narrow patch of land slicked with the stuff, at its sides were two pits. If he didn't move right they would fall right in. Then there was their "raining" problem. One was coming down right where he was going to go.
The bard hopped back then sharply turned right, going directly for the narrow walkway.

Tesh held her own claw over her unblocked eye, hearing her ivory pal screaming everything nonsensical in the book while moving quickly and staying over solid ground. She saw first hand what several such falls into black holes will do.

"There it is!" His silver guide shouted, still partially blinded.

Therony couldn't answer directly; he was too busy dodging not only Wall Masters but now spiked traps moving from wall to wall as well. "Not fair! Not fair! Not fair!" He stepped to the side twice and looked back as a pair of Wall Masters clapped the ground, missing their target.

"Look out! PocketShark!"

His attention turned a complete 180 and that black fish was there in his path! Unable to stop his speed in time they collided and rolled down the rest of the way ungracefully.

"I didn't summon him... Teshhh! Stop messing with the action buttons!!"
"What? We got down here didn't we?"

The bard didn't reply again, instead looked upward. No more Wall Masters. At his back was the massive door with the skull designs and the chained down lock.

"All this for pants..." He sighed, taking out the Boss Key. The chains and lock vanished to the four corners of the last barrier between them and their goal.
They saw a barely visible room ahead of them. Both of them were serious now. "Well... this is it."

Once the trio crossed the threshold, their door slammed down shut...

"It's a throne room?" The hero asked, scratching PocketShark nibbling on his skull.
"Looks that way."

There was a long red carpet leading to said throne of stone. Several very thick pillars lining the walkway.
"Where's the boss?" Lil' Tesh hopped out and ran until she sat on the throne. More correctly on the armor sitting on the royal seat. She saw him instantly wielding the Hookshot. "What?"

"I have a pretty good idea where..." He saw what was thought to be non living piece of armor do just that. "Quick, get back here!"

Swinging her head back, she peered up into glowing eyes and eeped. Running as fast as her little legs could take her, just enough as a sword the size of a couch slammed the ground just short of her last footfall.

"OOH!" Once she got in range of their magical pouch, she pulled out a bomb and flung it at the huge, slow trudging knight.

KABOOM!

"Ha! Gotcha!" Tesh shook PocketShark like a menacing club. Her pet made intimidating noises to further punctuate the picture.

Therony shook his head, that wouldn't work this time. When he dust cleared, he saw the knight still coming at them unscratched. What did they get from their trip so far...? For some odd reason in the game, the bosses' weakness lied in their domain. Why where they always stupid enough to leave the one thing to defeat you close by...? One eye rose, the only thing they got besides the key was...

"That accursed fish!"

The bright idea he got suddenly was dimmed by a sword that should of taken off his neck. He flew from the impact and collided through a pillar. Tesh landed on top of PocketShark who landed on top of Therony. Once the pile was broken up, they noticed small hearts fluttering down from the sky. The transformed silver and her pet did, Therony was too busy making sure his head was still with the rest of his body. That established, the next thing was his hat. He cared for the thing despite not having a definate reason.

"That smarts... score another one for the ol' noggin." The injury didn't seem that bad once the hearts landed on all of them. "Okay... we have our plan. Huddle up." By the time the knight got close enough the broke it up with a clap. Therony still held the Hookshot but knowing it wouldn't do him any good. Tesh and PocketShark lied in wait to the side. The boss went for Therony. The bard waited until it was lined up just right then whistled.

Their endless eater rushed at the exposed back and chomped onto its head, shaking it like a mad...well shark. The Knight however gained control and swatted the fish away but it still had the helmet.

"It's Iniad?!" The dragons cried out, sure enough the light muses' blonde hair overflowed onto the armor.  Her eyes were distant and faded. "Iniad? It's us!" When they got another sword attack Therony retreated away, hugging the wall practically.

"That not good!" How could they fight his muse? Daini would be much easier but not caring Iniad! Therony realized this happened before in the game too. "Wait, she's under a spell!"

The group hurried back to the locked door, once he pointed to it.
RawrRR? The comical looking shark was still hungry, nibbling on the helmet like a dog bone.

"Patience, you cartilage filled Trash disposal unit. We just need to alter the plan a bit..."

They would simply do enough damage and that should overpower the spell Iniad was under.

Therony targeted her non sword arm next and when Pocket Shark and Iniad's forceful repelling ripped off the gold lined gauntlet. He immediately went to her sword arm's side. He hoped it would be enough after disarming her without literally doing so. Because the bard did not want to risk the light being more than he had to.

He whistled once more and waved. "HEY COME ON!"
The third time Pocketshark was dislodged he sailed drectly for the bard and latched onto his entire torso.

Tesh saw the rest of her armor fall off, revealing the normal robes she wore. Hurrying over to check her out, she gave a small nudge.
Iniad's eyes returned to normal and she too was confused by her surroundings as well as the one poking her. "What is going on?"

Lil' Tesh explained it for Therony could not. He was trying his best to get PocketShark off him, or was it closer to getting out of the shark's gut. By the time Tesh whistled for her pet, Therony's hat was the last thing intact. The bard's tunic was in tatters and he was on the floor in a daze. At that moment everything started to blur and warp once again. The bard's home returning to the way it was.

Therony held up a claw as he and Lil' Tesh were the last two things to revert in the now split ended corridor leading to the white's own personal rooms. "Medic!"

"At least that's over with..." But then his warrior questioned they were two muses short still.

Those not named Therony heard dramatic music coming up from the upper level and hurried to find out, forgetting the little white trying to get his senses back.
