| Elsewhere, Fred rematerialized, unheralded by either flash or sound,
and still dancing away. I feel - different! What's that old crank done
to me? he thought.
The answer soon came.
In a nearby shiny surface, Fred caught a glimpse of himself - and
if he hadn't been compelled to keep dancing, he would have collapsed in
shock! Now he knew what Belboz had meant when he said he'd arrange it so
Fred could never threaten the dragon!
He had been transformed into:
A buxom, dark-skinned woman, dressed in a series of flowing veils,
swaying before a leering group of rich drunkards!
The dancing went on for hours on end, and Fred finds that he doesn't
tire....in fact the more he dances the more....energizing it becomes for
him.
However, this is something of a runners high. Not a euphmism for the
acts and desires that her drunken audience keep shouting and groping her
for. Fred realizes that he can't stop....and even raise his voice in protest.
All he can do is dance......
Then a strangely dressed man walks into the room, drawing shouted oaths
and drunken bellows of rage from Fred's audience. All of which goes silent
as the man looks at them in the eyes.....and Fred shivers inside as he
sees them go slack jawed and start to laugh.....and drool on themselves.
Fred shivers again but continues to dance as the oddly dressed man (who's
dressed in blue jeans and jeans jacket with a dozen buttons....including
a button with a picture of a dead pig and a question about: "How do you
want your pork?"). "Well, move over Madonna!" the Walking Man leers, laughing
as Fred struts his (er....her) stuff. "Let's just make one adjustment on
that Matrix thing....as they call it at this one interesting sight.....and
then......."
Fred gasps as he feels her entire being tingle....as if something was
altered deep inside.
She then freezes in place as the Walking Man (RF of "The Stand" by Stephen
King) puts her in stasis, making her appear as a marble statue. He then
sends her off elsewhere to play in a game he's set up.

then chuckles and changes to his alternate, demoness form, and goes off
to see a certain mage about a contract. Gotta keep the boys in the Home
Office happy. That is, until thing change for the better for him....
