You are attracting strange new looks from the residents of Topia. Fear. Shock.


Fairy is running over to you from the front of the crowd. He's sharing the look of fright. He also seems to be shorter than you... or are you floating?


Fairy is shrieking something about power and transforming. He said something about you and black wings and horns... He said you HAVE black wings and horns?

Hey. You do. And you ARE floating. You descend down to the ground.


Fairy's still freaking out about all this. He's asking you why, and even how, you just absorbed Centaur. He's afraid that having too much belief can be bad, and you just transformed after getting a ton of belief...


Belief... belief! You're starting to see something again. It's speaking to you.


It's telling you that you have enough power to create something new with. It's telling you to give Centaur's remains to it so it can fashion something new out of it. You can't create anything with the power, only weild it, and it needs that power back.


Well now, if you're going to give away enough power to make a new living being, you might as well give away enough to make a GOOD living being! Your ears are tuning back in to the world around you, and Tolu has just reminded everyone that the fight is not over yet! You have an idea


sweet mother heaven you have an IDEA
but how will these guys fit in?
they cant abosrb power
most cant even fly
but one of them does, you think you will have him come with you


woah he's right in your face you musta really been zonin out
"Alex! ALEX! LISTEN TO ME! Are you alright?! OhheavenpleaseletherbealrightALEX"
...
"What?"
...
"Alex, what are you talking about? You need to rest. You should--- oh heaven, they were fighting outside my tree, I hope it's alright... Okay, everyone, let's go to the Bili Woods. The fauns should be disoriented without a leader, and maybe the trolls already defeated them, but we should really check and see. You guys who don't have enough power to fight should take the wounded back to Topia. Come on, let's go!"


Everyone is following Fairy. Everyone is passing you by, fear showing brightly on their faces. None of them have ever been close to so much power. They think having so much power would cause one to be out of control, but you feel better than ever before, and you feel completely in control. You could probably even control them through their power. But you don't think you will. That would scare them even more, and be pointless. You'd like to practice that, though, it might be useful to know how.

Well, Alex? Shouldn't you be following them?
