Arisa watched as the faun and wolf struggled to win the battle, both were getting badly beaten, and Arisa knew she had to stop it now. As much as she regretted this, she charged full into the faun and knocked her to the ground, then she leaped onto the beast and knocked him flat to the ground. She quickly reached for her sword and while in the process of the fight the beast scratched her face. She shoved her sword across the front of his body to keep his claws from her body! The hilt of the sword lay across his chest where the crystal fragments were embedded; a light illuminated slightly from the hilt. The wolf’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he began to shutter violently, with weird sounds coming from his voice, and he grinded his teeth viciously. He started shaking violently and Arisa backed away quickly, her sword still on the beast. The faun was now standing behind her holding onto her shoulders. Arisa looked up at her, like a young child looking to her mother.

“Faun… what is happening? Did I do something wrong? What is this magic?”

‘NO! No, my child you did something pure, pure... yes and amazing!’ Fea looked in awe at the wolf, then down to Arisa… She decided to wait until the transformation was completed before explaining anything.

The outer layer of fir and muscle disappeared to form a man lying naked on the ground. His breathing was laboured and Arisa and the faun went over immediately to wrap him in a blanket. They decided to bring him to shelter and create a campfire until he awoke. During this time, the faun would tell Arisa why this happened to the werewolf.

‘Come Arisa, I’ll tell you why this happened. Your crystal in your sword… I noticed it before. An insignificant crystal, but mixed with the pure intentions of a royal, pure noble, can do great things. You had the hilt of your sword pressed against his heart, and it was also you determination that activated the crystal. You helped make him new again.’

“Does this mean he is no longer a werewolf… he is healed?” The look on the faun’s face told Arisa her answer and made her heart sad. Soon the man awoken, and the faun and the girl just stared at him, letting him have his way.
He held slight memory loss since the crystal extracted his wolf being, but for the most part remembered what had happened. He mumbled apologizes but did not move, he felt the need to explain his reasons for being there and everything that happened but he did not feel to do so just yet. No doubt the faun would ask why he was here anyway.
