Zelgadiss sat in depression in the tour guide's house, leaning his head on the table in front of him.

"I'm a woman..." (S)he mumbled to himself. "Couldn't that spring at least have taken away my chimeraizim?" He groaned and thumped his head on the table.

"Now now, sir. It not so bad. You pretty cute girl." The tour guide poured him a cup of tea. Zel groaned again.

"That's not reassuring at all." (S)he complained.

"Sir, I learn many things as guide here. Hot water reverse effect of spring."

"Why didn't you tell me that sooner?" Zel demanded, standing up.

"Because cold water undo effect of hot water. When it rain, or even snow, you become woman again." The tour guide paused as Zel picked up the teapot and raised it over his head. "Aiyaaa! Sir, that water hot! Very hot!" Zel ignored his warning and emptied the teapot on his head. He flinched as the scalding water slid down over his rocklike skin. He shook some water out of his hair and walked to the door.

"Sir! Where you go now?" The guide called after him.

"I am continuing on my journey." Zel said shortly and walked out of the building. The door slammed firmly behind him.

"I be guide here many years, but I never see one strange as that." The guide watched Zelgadiss leave.

About a week later, the newly depressed chimera found himself in a small roadside inn drinking tea. He sat alone in a corner, by a window that had been propped open with a stick. He found himself staring out the window, his tea growing cold. The weather was fair today; neither too hot nor too cold. It may have been warmer had there not been a pleasant breeze rippling across the land. He turned back to his tea and stared at the cup. He truly did not know where his next destination in the search for his humanity should be. He was tired of this. If only that spring would have restored his humanity...

Suddenly, a paper flew through the window, landing in the middle of his face. It startled him, causing him to fall over backwards in his chair. He shook his head to clear the confusion and picked up the paper.

"The Furinkan School of magic?" He read the bold headline of the flier aloud. He sat down to read the rest of the flier to himself. It said,

"The Furinkan School of Magic is now accepting students! Experience in the use of magic not required! Now researching new branches of magic! See office in Seiruun for more details." He clenched the flier with both his hands. This could be it. The things that could cure him of his chimeraizim! There was also the possibility that it could rid him of this new curse as well. He chuckled to himself, then turned and left the inn. He was going to Seiruun!

Yep, short and stupid. But now that I finally got all the prolog out of the way, we can get on to the Furinkan School of Magic! Yay! What horrors await Zelgadiss there? ^_^ |/
