Skye Prower

"Illu... Oh yes, sorry," said Melody as she snapped her fingers. The air shimmered again and she appeared as normal. "I'm... uh... sorry about... sorry about that sir," she said shyly.

"Really? That's a really stupid..." began Melody as Tower walked in. "Uh... hello... sir...!" said Melody awkwardly, forgetting in surprise she was still illusioned.

"I had guessed those two. There's no mention of powers, and some of the older times took a dim view of magic," said Melody.

Melody smiled. "Thanks. Got any tips on being human?"

Melody winked. "I've had a bit of experience, yep! Though this is my first time faking humanity!"

"Yep. And if I wear long sleeves it should prevent anyone grabbing my arm and wondering why it feels furry," said Melody. "She took a few steps, watching the reflection. Good, it seems to be keeping up with me okay."

Melody giggled. "Yeah, I'll get used to them soon enough," she replied, looking over her new appearance. "Huh, you know, I'm almost kinda disappointed I didn't try this as a transformation. Better hope no one bumps into my tail!"

"Thank's Hope! Guess you like it!" grinned Melody, looking in the mirror. "Wow! These proportions look strange on me!

"I doubt I'll look that much like her... more... you with elements of me..." murmed Melody as she concentrated on Hope, said some words in a firm voice, then the air around her shimmer like a heat haze, and when the distortion cleared, a twelve year old human girl with blond hair stood there, though still in the cowgirl outfit, just without the hat this time. Her hairstyle was still the same as it had been, despite the colour change, and while her face was very similar to Hope's, it was also distinct from her's, the eyes being larger and the nose smaller.

"I'll try not to, but I doubt Maria went around in an outfit like this. Okay, here goes!" Melody took a deep breath and started casting the spell.

Up and up! 23

"Oh yes, that. Okay, let me think for a minute... uh.. would you mind if I based it a little off you Hope? I don't have too, but I might not get stuff right if I don't have something to base a human look off," asked Melody.

"Here you go. Just say the words, and concentrate on what you want to summon,. The photo in this case," said Miles. ------------- "You always do," said Skye. "Are you hungry, how about breakfast?" ------------ "Yeah, I know. I always mess up illusionary hats," said Melody, sticking her hand through it.

Melody finished casting and created an illusion of wearing a western outfit, though the illusionary hat obviously wasn't sitting correctly on her head. "Wow! I LIKE it! What do you think Hope?"

"Great," said Melody jogging over to it, and starting to cast a spell.

"Okay, first I'll get you the words," said Miles, writing them down. ---------- "You don't need to say sorry Mark. It's okay," said Skye. ------------ "Yeah! I think I would. Hang on a second, where's a mirror?"

Climb, climb, climb! 21

"Thank you Dylan. It means a lot to me, like it did for you," Miles. Then he paused. "Gah, sorry Dominic!" ------------ "I was yes," said Skye. "Not anymore." ------------- "Good attention I hope!" said Melody.

"Yeah! Those outfits will suit us great!" grinned Melody. "Maybe I should wear it once we get back!"

"I think we'll have to. It's the main way of getting around by the looks of things!"

Whoo! 19

"No problem Dylan. Just be careful with it," said Miles. ------------- "Okay," grinned Ziona. "I think she's in for a surprise!" she said to Zamy. ------------ "Remember how I said I... had a bad family... Well... they also used to be royality," said Skye. "I had no interest in ruling, but Harmony and Melody, well... they liked being admired." -------------- Melody went back to looking in the book. "Hmm, do you know how to ride a horse?"

Onwards! 17

Yeah... that's a point... 15

"Here," said Miles, taking a photo out from where he'd been keeping it. It should the adult 'Lucas' with Dylan sitting on his shoulders, and his arms around his 'wife'. --------------- "If you say so," said Ziona. "Don't get lost." -------------- "Yeah. She used to be a princess," said Skye. ------------- "Yeah! I'm looking forward to it!" said melody
