| "Maybe." nods Fred. However, Fred doesn't believe this for a second,
though Astra apparently bought it. Dwarves were reputedly reistant to magic,
and because of that nobody ever saw a dwarven mage! Most dwarves took this
in stride, even taking pride in the fact their race didn't dabble in the
"weakling artes." As it stands, THIS dwarf is hardly the person to believe
in any case.
Besides all that, there was a very basic question. If you were a lycanthrope,
would you go about advertising to the normals? If you didn't want you and
your kin hunted for something you had no control over, you sure as HELL
wouldn't! So, if a bit of misdirection worked....like calling yourself
a demi-fox instead of a were-fox worked.....coupled with the apparent truth
that you could switch between a human form with a few animal features to
full animal form.....you'd just do that! Fred was betting that Minestus
had made this new form for some dark purpose....it was like an intermediate
step to something the wyrm was looking for.....but hadn't quiet....accomplished
it at this stage?
There was one way to find out, risky as it was!
Though what he was about to do seemed insane, there was a method behind
the madness!

 It
had to do with a frank discussion Fred had with his now deceased brother.....
