"Davonnar, wake up."

Davonnar stirred but only slightly.

"Davonnar," the voice echoed distantly.

The tiny mouse's eyes fluttered into vague consciousness.

"That's it, Dav. You're almost with me. Knock the cobwebs from your dreams out."

Davonnar jumped to his feet and scurried over to his crystal sphere. Davonnar thought "As I live a breath, it's Mr. Temple"

"Dav. It's good to see my apprentice again!. Quite a predicament you got yourself into. Would you like some help."

Davonnar nodded his little mice head vigorously. Looking into the ball, amazed to see good ol' Bill's kind and gentle features again.

"Transformus Originous", Bill's voice commanded.

Davonnar grew, his head changed from mouse to human, his paws turned to hands and feet. Realizing the vision before Bill, Davonnar quickly slid into his wizards robe.

"Thanks," Bill laughed.

"You have my eternal thanks, Bill."

"Don't mention it. I want to see you with much haste."

"Sure, I'll leave immediately"

"That won't be necessary. I can use the transport spell"

Davonnar's eyes widened in fear. "No Bill. I've had enough Magic for a bit!" he said with much anxiety.

"Transportus Davonnar thither tower to 'TIME', Shit! ,'MINE', I meant 'MINE'"
