I was standing near a cute house. It was in the middle of the forest and I was here for a really important reason. 

I knocked on the door. After a moment a beautiful woman came out. She had big blue eyes and long blonde hair.

"Oh, little girl? What do you need from me?" 

"I'm not a little girl, I'm William." I said after looking at her. She was a well known witch. Her name was Morgana. Everyone respected her for her abilities and now I needed her help.

"Is this a joke? If it is it's a funny one. William is old, ugly and I think he stinks." she said and started laughing. 

I felt like hitting her but I didn't. Anyway it would be hard in this form. 

"By the way those clothes are too big for you and they stink. You should wear something small and cute. Those robes look awful on you." she said with a big smile. I really wanted to hit her.

"T-the spell of eternal youth. It w-worked!" I said quietly. After that she only looked at me for a moment. Then she started laughing. 

"I-It worked?! HAHAHA!" 

"W-what?" I asked but she didn't respond. She just laughed and laughed. After a while she calmed down. 

"Come in William. We don't want you to stay there, don't we?" Morgana said with a wide smile. 

After that we went to her house. It wasn't big but it felt warm. There was a lot of beautiful furniture and alchemy ingredients.

"Do you want something to drink?" she asked while looking at me. 

"N-no. Do you have a mirror?" 

"Oh? You don't even know how you look?" 

I felt really ashamed but I don't need things like mirrors in my tower. I didn't change clothes and all my time I was doing research. 

After a moment she gave me a little mirror. I saw my new self for the first time. 

I had long silver hair, big green eyes and a really cute face. Face of a small girl. 

"Do you like it?" Morgana asked while smilling. 

I blushed and hided the mirror. 

She wasn't wrong. I liked what I saw but there was one problem. One little problem. 

"I'm a man!" 

"You don't look like one." 

"That's why I'm here! I tried everything but I can't turn back! Help me!" I said with tears in my eyes. 

She looked at my with a smart gaze. Yeah! That's what I need! She surely can help me! Any moment now and I will turn back normal!

"I can't." 

"What?" 

"The spell is too strong. Even I can't help you." Morgana said calmly. 

Oh. 

So that's it? 

This is my reality now? 

I went straight to the door without saying anything. 

"Where are you going?" 

"I need to find someone who can help me. I need to!" I said and went outside. 

All I could see there was the forest and sky. One more time I looked at my hands. They were so small and fragile.

After that I started walking to the nearest city. 

"Why are you following me?" I asked Morgana who was walking behind me. 

"You look like you might need some help." 

"You can't help me." I said and speeded up my walking.

"You did not understand. Someone bad might kidnap you." 

After hearing that I stopped and started shivering a little. 

I didn't think about this. I'm not a 70 years old mage anymore but a little girl. 

"R-really?" I asked quietly.

"Y-yeah! J-just leave it to me." Morgana said while covering her face. 

For some reason she didn't looked seriously but I was too scared to think about it. 

After that we went to the city.
