With Howl's magic, it didn't take me long to regain my powers. But I needed one last thing. My hoshi.
He had it around his neck!
Cretin!
I swiped and caught it in my hands, and Howl woke and grabbed me.
But not before the magic could flow into my body, turning me once more into a woman. I used my glamour to fashion clothes for myself.
"Well...nice to meet you."
Xxx
Howl looked at Reiko. She was indeed a beautiful woman.
And maybe powerful enough to save him from himself
Wearing the hoshi so long had been...detrimental.
Such powerful, pure magic.
He clenched his feathery fist.
"It's alright." Reiko's touch on his hands, making the monster recede.
Howl turned, hiding tears and ran from her out the Black doorway.
