Ch. 1: The Ultimate Plan Begins

In the ruins of Old San Fran, Baldro has just uncovered their latest spell scroll. It contains a spell that will allow them the ability to shape-shift.

"Cuir gu buil a'comas do cneasaich," he chanted. The spell translates "Give the power to shape."

Baldro keeps repeating the spell until Illry and Mumpo glow white.

"Let's see if the spell works," Illry suggested.

He and Mumpo closed their eyes. They then changed into Drago and His Wu. They even have their voices.

"The spell worked, Brother," Illry said in the form of Drago.

"This plan is bound to get us that half-breed brat and the keys," Mumpo said.

"Your plan better work, Mumpo," Baldro said, "Otherwise, the prince will put us into a more permanent hibernation than last time."

"You mean when he put us to sleep for seven centuries when magic becomes myth?" Illry asked.

"Exactly."

"But if this plan does work, our army can begin their invasion at sundown tomorrow," Mumpo assumed.
