Standing in front of him, in the middle of the well-decorated room, was a woman. A very attractive woman…who actually looked quite a bit like Edwin. She was his height and very curvy, with rather large breasts, long ebony hair that tumbled around her shoulders and full red lips. Her robe was torn in two or three places, more notably around the chest area and down by the hips. She certainly was very beautiful, although nowhere near as attractive as his Edwin. For a second he was confused, who was the woman and where was Edwin, but then he remembered what Edwin had said a moment or two before and his eyes widened as he realised whom the woman was.

Rini: Yeah...she's just lovely. But I also prefer Eddie in his male form, especially since he's so unhappy in his current state. Hey Kane, maybe you and I should form a support group? 'Distraught Lovers of Gender Challenged Red Wizards' or something.

“It could have killed you,” the warrior said patiently. “Or you might have ended up turned into a chicken or a carrion crawler or something horrible like that. Or what if it had completely taken away all of your magic and left you powerless.”

“This is all that lich’s fault!” Edwin was slowly becoming hysterical now and the last thing Kane wanted to do was deal with a hysterical female. “I followed the instructions perfectly…I don’t understand what went wrong!”

*grin* Hysterical males aren't any better, trust me.

“Even the best of wizards can make mistakes,” he said gently. “There must be some way to reverse it, and until we find out, just look on the bright side. At least you are still very attractive. And alive.”

“But it feels wrong!” Her voice trembled a little and she gazed at him pleadingly. “You have to help me find a way to get rid of this…this body I have been cursed with! Kane, you have to do something! I cannot stay like this!”

Awww...

“I know little about magic,” Kane reached for his lover’s hand, taking it in his own and squeezing it reassuringly. The wizard flinched a little at his touch but didn’t pull away. “But I promise you that we will find a way to return you to your male form, no matter what it takes. You make a very desirable female, but I don’t think your family will be keen on the idea of having a daughter instead of a son. And I certainly don’t want them to start blaming me.”

“Teacher Dekaras wouldn’t blame you,” Edwin wiped at her eyes, brushing away the tears before Kane could see them. “He’d say that it was my own fault for messing with magic that I don’t understand. And he’d be right, wouldn’t he?”

Well, he would be...but he'd feel sorry for you too.

“Well what else could I do?” The warrior asked. “Eddie can be a right stubborn bastard when it comes to anything even remotely magical. I tried to warn him, persuade him to wait until he had translated it properly, but he wouldn’t even listen to me.”

“I know that it isn’t your fault,” Benny stepped around Kane, brushing the Bhaalspawn’s shoulder affectionately as he did. “Vadrak did warn me that Edwin could be very stubborn and more than a little foolish when it comes to magical items, especially those of great power. I never should have let him have that Nether Scroll in the first place.”

Vadrak Dekaras: *sigh* So true. He's always been like that. I dread the day when he finally gets hold of a demon summoning scroll without me there to rein him in.

A few minutes later, Edwin and Kane were sitting on their bed, while Benny walked up and down the room, muttering something about foolish and stupid children under his breath. When he had first seen Edwin’s new figure, he had gone several shades paler than usual and had been temporarily lost for a words. After a couple of moments of stunned silence, he finally found his voice again, only to lose his temper at the same time. He had hurled several rather violent curses at Edwin before finally calming down enough to talk normally. By then Edwin was the one who had turned pale and Kane looked absolutely stunned. His teacher so rarely lost his temper that even he was frightened when he did.

*grin* I'd say that Dekkie's reaction will be pretty memorable as well...

“I’m not going out like this!” Edwin said at once. “Everyone will laugh! (Especially Viconia and those filthy dwarves…I can just see their faces now!)”

“You’ll have to face them sooner or later,” Kane said patiently. “Better that it’s sooner.”

True. But it won't be pleasant...

Next Part: The search to turn Edwin back begins, but not before certain party members do their best to make him feel bad, Cory seeks some advice regarding his love life and Benny receives a rather unwelcomed letter.

Poor Edwin...

Edwin was definately cuter when he was a man.

“Eddie?” Although it was pretty obvious what had happened, Kane still couldn’t quite bring himself to believe it. “Is that you?”

“Of course it is me, you idiot!” the woman snapped. “Who else would it be?”

Yup, it's definately Edwin .

“I thought you said that you had done something worse than turning yourself into a lich,” he said finally. Edwin glared at him.

Personally, I'd rather be turned into a female than a lich, but I might be a little biased considering I am female .

“It could have killed you,” the warrior said patiently. “Or you might have ended up turned into a chicken or a carrion crawler or something horrible like that. Or what if it had completely taken away all of your magic and left you powerless.”

LOL A chicken? Reminds me of that quest in BG1.

“This is all that lich’s fault!” Edwin was slowly becoming hysterical now and the last thing Kane wanted to do was deal with a hysterical female. “I followed the instructions perfectly…I don’t understand what went wrong!”

Of coarse, it's always the lich's fault .

“Teacher Dekaras wouldn’t blame you,” Edwin wiped at her eyes, brushing away the tears before Kane could see them. “He’d say that it was my own fault for messing with magic that I don’t understand. And he’d be right, wouldn’t he?”

Yes..I believe he would be.

“I think,” the warrior sighed and ran a hand through his black hair, “that you had better come and see for yourself. But be prepared, it’ll probably be quite a shock.”

Not as much of a shock as it was to Edwin.

“Probably,” Edwin agreed and then gestured to a pile of ashes on the floor. “But it has gone, it was destroyed in the ritual.”

Well, if they don't reverse it I'm sure he/she will get used to it eventually .

“I’m not going out like this!” Edwin said at once. “Everyone will laugh! (Especially Viconia and those filthy dwarves…I can just see their faces now!)”

Heh, I can just hear thier comments . Poor Edwin (or should I say Edwina).

I like this. Can't wait to read the next part .
