Chapter Nine: Redemption in Humanized Eyes: Part One: Preparations


A/N: If you are confused as to who the heck Elise is, check out my profile. It gives you a link to my fanfiction.net page, which has the first story in this series, as this is book three, and it explains a lot about Elise and Alex.

(Alex's POV)

I silently fume. 'How could I have been deceived? And for that matter, how did you find me Elise?'
'I'm not sure on that first part, but as for how I found you...Link sent me to check on you. When I could not find you here, I checked the magic ripples, as matter is just frozen energy. I tracked the ripples to the remnants of a portal spell. I reopened the portal with the aid of the Tiara, and then I went through it, and found you.'
'Interesting. And thank you. I think I never would have realized what had happened had you not found me.'
'You're welcome. Also, while I was in that other realm, I scanned the creatures there. I discovered they are shockingly similar to humans, the main difference being their shell.'
I blink. 'Hmm...Anything else you learned about them?' 
'No, but while I was with Link, I figured out that the Wand goes beyond the glyphs it already recognizes. From what I deduced, it can accept new glyphs through a sort of procedure, which I figured out from looking back to when the Creators made it. It is a vocalized procedure, meaning voice-command, but its limits are essentially your imagination, and your energy. Some spells require more energy, by nature, and others require less. And, if you do not have time to draw the glyph, since the magic, having been around you so long, almost runs wild in you, you can, in theory, just vocalize a spell, using the language of the Ancients, and it should respond.'
'Why was I unaware of this?'
'I deduced this during your Hoenn journey, and I did not want to interrupt it, and then the next opportunity I had was when you requested Link's presence, but that was a time of mourning, and I did not want to bring it up then, as it could, and would to me, seem in poor taste. Then, Link sent me to check up on you, so I decided I would tell you then.' 
'Okay then...Anyway...show me the glyph please.'
She nods, and then floats behind me, setting her hands on my temples. I see a glyph shine in to existence, and I put it to memory. She removes her hands from my temples and floats back in front of me.
'Now, repeat aloud after me. Wand'
"Wand."
I hear a beep come out of the wand.
'New glyph input.'
"New glyph input."
Another beep.
'Now draw the glyph I showed you.'
I do so, and the glyph shines an off-white.
'Glyph title. Shift Glyph.'
"Glyph title. Shift Glyph."
A third beep, and the glyph fades a little.
'Effect. Shift incoming thing to human, regardless of original. Retain original characteristics, such as general looks, and any sort of personality. Neutralize any magic they may possess, but let them retain the thing they would use to wield magic.'
I repeat the phrase aloud, ad then a melody of beeps plays.
'Okay, that's it.'
'Thanks again. You've found me, so I guess you can return to Link now, yes?'
'You're welcome again, and yes. I plan to.'
She turns, and then disappears after we say goodbye.

(Twilight Sparkle's POV)

I pick myself up, the facade of logic and aloofness settling over my features like a mask. I turn, and trot back in to the library. I go and rouse Spike.
"Spike, take a letter."
He nods, quill poised.

Dear Princess Celestia, I regret to inform you that Alex, along with the aid of beings unknown, has broken free of the memory spell and the shapeshifting spell you put on him. I need advice. Should I leave him be, or should I seek forgiveness?
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
P.S. How are Luna and Red doing? Does Red suspect anything?

Spike finishes off the letter, and then burns the paper, sending the message.
