"The beast spell?" repeated Mara in alarm. "Doesn't that make creatures... wild? Unreasonable?" "It's this or leave her alone, Mara," said Gabriel grimly. Mara bit her lip, realizing he was right. "Okay," she said at length, rather unhappily, but she approached Freda with him. Freda wasn't sure what the two of them were doing as they chanted over her, but frankly she wasn't concern. They were good folk and she trusted them. And when she began to feel very uncomfortable, as if somebody was prodding and pulling at her body and under her skin, she didn't connect it to them. The siblings stood back and watched as Freda changed. She grew bigger, her muscles corded and strong. Her hooves became huge and heavy, and covered with tiny barbs. Fangs, dripping with venom, protruded from her mouth. Finally, and most disturbing of all, her dark eyes changed in coloration to blood red. Mara and Gabriel watched for several seconds as she just breathed raggedly, eyes unfocused. "Freda?" Gabriel asked quietly. Her eyes shifted over to them. They flinched slightly, but they reminded themselves that the spell they'd cast to make her friendly towards them [113961] was still active, and should keep her from being violent towards them, certainly at least without provocation.
