Chapter 11

"So how have you kept you *other* side from taking over lately?" Alanna asked Roger. He looked at her and sighed.

"My gift helps me. However, is I were to lose ALL of my magic and be completely drained I think I would lose the battle of control over my body and thoughts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . forever."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I see you have a new found love!" Avery said smiling when she came back to her rooms that night. She hushed him and he smiled even more.

"Mother is smart. Now you have every man in the kingdom jumping for a glance of you, a prince, a king, and a duke who love you for who you REALLY are. This is fun!"

"And how may I ask is this FUN?!" She demanded. Avery smiled.

"Humans get so emotional, it's cute!" Avery smiled and jumped onto the bed and laid back.

"I'm sure many people will be happy that the god of children's dreams thinks they're cute." She said sarcastically. He only smiled and flicked a finger, she was once more in her maiden form.

"Why me?" She groaned. Avery smiled, and Alanna turned on him

"Why'd you do that?!" She demanded. Avery smiled and replied

"Maybe you can show this to your newfound love." He smiled happily. She glared and he laughed.

"hmmmm . . . .. . ." He made a thinking noise as he walked around her.

"What?!" She squawked. He smiled and simply said

"I don't really like that color, so how's about we change it?" Before Alanna could reply he snapped his fingers and her hair was raven black with golden streaks in it again. Her eyes had turned a beautiful silver and he face was exotic, like beauty found only in fairy tales. Her dress was black and sleeveless, around her left arm she had a golden brace with a flowery pattern winding itself around her bicep. Her arms of course were thin and proper like a lady's. She sighed yet again and trudged out the door, Avery was going to follow when Faithful pulled him back.

"Let her have a bit of private time." He said squarely to the young god who now pouted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a knock on the door. Roger looked up

"Enter." He said annoyed turning back to the papers on his desk. A figure walked in and Roger didn't even bother to look up.

"Yes?" He demanded still looking at the papers.

"Um. . . . . . . . ." A light female voice began, he sighed annoyed, thinking it was probably a servant girl he looked up about to command her to leave when he saw her and his voice caught. He stared his jaw hanging limply.

"Roger, it's not polite to stare." Alanna said tartly, blushing I might add.

"A-Alanna?!" He finally managed to squeak. She giggled at the high pitched voice he gave out and nodded. He gaped for about, maybe a minute more and stood up, walking around the desk he asked

"Did you . . . . . . . . . . dress for me? How did you change you eye color though? I never did figure out how you changed your appearance. How did you get silver eyes? How long have you had that dress? I never knew you were so beautiful! Is that a wig? It looks so real-" Alanna laughed and answered his questions.

"I. . . . . . . . . . have a friend who does powerful spells. He thinks that giving me this form is funny." She blushed and conveniently forgot to mention that he changed her to this form for him specifically. Roger just grinned and pulled her into his arms. She blushed even harder, still not used to Roger holding her. He smiled and looked at her in the eyes.

"I think you'd look lovely even if you were covered in mud." He said smiling.

"Liar." She muttered looking at him. He laughed and drew her even closer. They sat down and talked for a while about useless things, Alanna was drawn to his handsome face and soft hair. He in turn was drawn to her by her silver eyes and silky smooth gold and black hair which was straight and neat to the spot. The evening was slowly dimming and Roger knew she'd have to leave. As they stood up he put an arm around her waist and drew her close for a kiss. She laid a hand on his shoulder lightly as they *ahem* and this went on, at that moment the door opened and a figure stood there. Alanna gasped and shied away, Roger's eyes went wide with fear. It was Jonathan.
