When Orphen saw the person struggling to breathe inside the filthy tank, he took immediate action.

“I release thee, Sword of Light!”

The energy beam tore the glass tank into pieces, flooding the room with mossy water. From out of the tank came one familiar human figure, and one unfamiliar, much more streamlined figure.

He ran over to the one he recognized first.

“Majic!” he yelled, pulling the blond boy to his feet.

Majic stood there coughing for a while, trying to catch his breath. When he could speak again, he turned to Orphen with tears in his eyes.

“Master! Where have you been?!” the boy yelled.

Orphen had no idea what had happened while he was gone, but he figured that he should probably apologize before anything else. “Sorry,” he said, lowering his head.

“Sorry? That’s all you can say?! Claiomh is dead! They killed her!”

“...They what?”

Orphen was too startled by the sudden news to process his thoughts properly. While trying to figure out what was going on, his gaze sank to the other figure at his feet.

Majic, too, turned to see what his master was looking at... and the sight left him utterly speechless.

Before them in the middle of the floor lay a two-meter-long giant fish. It might have been a tuna, but Orphen wasn’t sure, having never actually seen a live one before, only the pictures on the side of canned tuna.

The fish lay there with its bright red gills exposed. It seemed to be suffocating, flinching a few times before gradually growing utterly still. But that wasn’t why Orphen was staring at the creature.

Right around the tuna’s stomach, behind silvery-white scales, was the outline of a human being. It seemed to be inside of the fish rather than simply attached to it, sticking out like a snake had swallowed some over-sized prey. The facial features were difficult to make out from through the creature’s scaly skin, giving no indication as to what the man might once have looked like. The only thing that was clear was that the man’s mouth was open and that a tube was coming out of it. Orphen traced the length of the tube and, just as he’d thought, it was connected to the other end of the speaking tube that the earlier voice had been coming from.

By the time Orphen had figured all of this out, the fish had stopped moving entirely.

“Wh-What is that thing?” Majic asked while wiping the moss off his face.

Orphen felt like he was being interrogated, hesitant to answer. He tried to go through the facts in his head.

“I don’t believe it... What could possibly drive you to turn yourself into a Creature?”

“...What’s going on?”

“I dunno. All I can say is that whether this is Ramone or Kief, it’s the end result of Phonoghoulous the Black Sorcerer and his twisted research.”

Following that, Orphen felt something else growing closer as well. When he spun back around, he saw a thick, dark mist pouring into the room from the garbage chute.

The mist began to take human form. It stood there before them, shaking with rage.
