"Mecranon," Amy called as she wandered through the abandoned building. "Are you here?" A door opened on the upper level and a very ugly and deformed man stuck his head out.

"Amy! Is that you?" Amy bolted up the stairs, grinning happily. "It is you, my girl! Back after so long! I thought you might stay as a rat forever."

Amy smiled at her mentor. "Willow changed me back. But I'm still... ratty."

"Ah, so you want me to rid you of your animal instincts."

"Um...yeah."

Mecranon pulled a heavy tome off of a rotting shelf and flipped though the ancient pages. "Ah, here we are," he murmured to himself. "Let the spirit release its beast, let her be human at least." He gestured at her and a whirlwind of energy formed around her. Mecranon watched with a parental smile as Amy played with the sparkling splinters of light that danced in her hair.

"There you go, my girl," Mecranon chuckled from the darkness of the room. Amy smiled and watched the tangle of magic stream out a broken window and out into the night.

"Where is it all going," she asked tentatively.

Mecranon stepped from the shadows, closing the heavy volume he carried. He smiled diabolically as he stared out the window. "Elsewhere, my dear. Elsewhere."
