Chapter Nineteen

Wally stood before Willow. She looked at him and yelped. His long beard had gone, as had his fangs, claws, and yellow eyes. Wally looked human just like he had when leading her through the woods. He stood before the trapped doorway and smiled at her. His face was young-looking, his skin smooth and flawless. It was pale, as were his eyes, which were no longer bright yellow, but hazel. His hair was ash blond, short, if not a little on the untidy side. For a human, he wasn’t bad looking, Willow thought. He no longer wore his scruffy dungarees, but a crisp white shirt and blue jeans.

“The doorways have such untapped powers,” he smiled.

“But...” Willow yelped, her paws clacking on the ground.

“I have discovered there are many ways of passing through the doorways,” Wally smiled, looking pleased with himself. “Frontways, sideways, and backways! Each of them changes you in a different way.”

“But you look like a human,” Willow woofed.

“I know,” Wally said, looking down at himself. “Disgusting, isn’t it? But, it has its benefits.”

“Like what?”

“Oh, I dunno,” Wally said thoughtfully. “Like when I need to mingle with the humans, which doesn’t happen often I must admit, but there have been occasions.”

“Like when?” Willow pushed, her tail wagging from side to side.

“Oh, let me see,” Wally said, rubbing his chin. “Like when your son, William, decided to rip a car apart in Parliament Square and then scale Big Ben.”

“Who is Big Ben?” Willow asked him.

“It’s a what not a who,” Wally smiled at her ignorance. “Big Ben is a giant clock.”

“What was William doing climbing a clock?” Willow barked.

“It’s such a long story, and one not for now,” Wally said. Then gesturing towards the doorway, he smiled at Willow and said, “Go on, give it a try.”

“I’ve had enough of doorways for one day,” Willow said. “Besides, the only doorway I want to go through is the one which will take me home.”

“Oh, c’mon! Live a little, Willow Weaver,” Wally teased her with that smile of his.

Willow looked at him with her red eyes, then at the doorway that had been fixed in place.

“What’s not to like?” Wally asked her.

Slowly, Willow trotted towards the doorway. Wally didn’t take his eyes off her. “Which way will you choose?” he grinned like someone who was just a little bit mental. “Frontways? Sideways? Or backways?”

Willow looked up at him and then went sideways through the doorway. The bang which followed shook the very walls of the cavern just like before. The flash of white light reflected in Wally’s eyes as Willow stepped from the other side of the doorway. She looked like and was dressed as a Noxas once again. The platted braids of silky blond hair hung from her cheeks and beneath her chin. She raised her claws before her dark eyes and looked at the hair which covered them. Willow wore the long, flowing blue robes that she had worn in Endra. It was good to be a Noxas again, she thought to herself.
