"When Ego feels there is a great danger to the World or Plane it's inhabiting, it can use the Essence it accumulated to form two special creatures. Both Demon's body and Angel's mind are merged with newborn Essence filled Elementals. Only one Demon's body and one Angel's mind can be created by Ego, until the old ones die, new ones cannot be made. They can comunicate with Ego and have access to all the knowledge inside the Essence that Ego is holding. They will make their Elemental host grow faster, they will teach it what it needs to know to solve the problem in the shortest amount of time possible."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"The ultimate two problem solvers."

When Annabelle woke up, she was dressed and Little Wolf was sitting near her. The pond was still there, now it did not shine anymore. Making her doubt it happened in the first place, maybe it was just a dream.

"Hey, you finally woke up!"

Said Little Wolf.

"Hey, what happened, what time is it?"

Said the groggy Annabelle.

"Its nightime, there are some wolves around, they were making a lot of noise before, now they are quieter. If we want to get back to the village faster, I can just carry you on my back and jump from tree to tree."

Said Little Wolf getting up and helping Annabelle do the same.

"Still night time? Good, hope no one noticed we were gone."

Said Annabelle.

Annabelle fixed her herb pouches on her back, then jumped on Little Wolf's back and he started jumping silently towards the village.

When they got to the edge of the forest, Little Wolf let Annabelle down.

"I will need to carry you for this, if I dash as fast as I can to evade the patrol... You might lose your grip and fall."

Said Little Wolf.

Annabelle blushed and let herself be carried, she nested her head on his neck and nodded lightly. It was over faster than she could understand, in a moment they were still and outside the forest, in the next she felt herself move and they were already in the shadows of the hunters longhouse.

Little Wolf let Annabelle's boots touch the soft grass then, he focused on himself, on his istincts, on his wild side and he forced all of it inside himself. His hair got shorter, now hip high and no more ankle high. His arms and legs too got a little shorter, making him around one meter and seventy centimeters but now he looked more human with limbs of the right proportions.

"Hey you two, welcome ba-" Started Sidon. "Who are you?" The First Hunter used his spear to gently move Annabelle away from the unknown man, woman?

"Oh, hi dad, uhh I guess I grew overnight uh?"

Said Little Wolf a little embarassed of being caught after boosting of his sneakiness to Annabelle.

"You two come with me, we need to talk."

Sidon silently guided the two to the First Hunter's house.

Inside the First Hunter's house waiting for them were Fianna, Mary and Brielle. Mary jumped on her feet and embraced her daughter.

"Young lady, you don't know how worried I was! You two disappeared for a whole day! What where you thinking? I'm gonna take a rope and tie you to me until you find a husband! Maybe that will make me stop worrying for a little bit! I thought the curse got you!"

Babbled the worried mother.

In the mean time, now that there was a little more light Sidon, Fianna and Brielle were watching the new Little Wolf.

"Uhhh, hi mom, hi Brielle, mmh its my first time escaping the village, it was dangerous and I won't do it again, ever."

Said Little Wolf and then nodded to himself proudly.

"What happened to you in a single day?"

Asked Brielle.

Fianna and Sidon were still watching their son and trying to understand his growth.

"A single day? Nah its still dark outside, I took Annabelle outside to show her the forest and, we took some herbs too so she could make the back pain remedy for Stria and the chief."

Said Little Wolf.

"No, a day has passed, we were worried you know? How come you are so different but so similar now?"

Asked the confused Fianna.

"A day? Really? Might have spent too much time cleaning ourselves up in the pond... And hey mom! I'm not a kid anymore, I grew!"

Said a confused but happy Little Wolf.

"You disappear one day and two nights, disappear as a child and come back as a young man. And its all fine? You will be grounded for a while and, double hunter's drills for you."

Said Sidon.

"Oh..."Little Wolf shoulders and head fell, he tried for a second to make himself look small then, he remembered, he grew! "I let my wild side free and I grew! Now I'm not a child anymore! I know I'm different from the other people around... but I grew! I'm normal again! Like everyone else!"

"How do you explain a child that turns into a young man when no one sees him for a day?"

Asked Brielle to no one in particular.

"We don't, we keep him inside the house until the heat comes and goes, maybe until the next snow. Then whe he comes out he just grew in the mean time."

Said Fianna, the shock was gone and now anger, rage and fear was present in her eyes.

"Little Wolf, it seems I failed as a mother. I could not teach you how to think twice instead of doing anything stupid that would go through that head of yours."

Her voice was icy cold, both Sidon and Little Wolf shuddered.

"Well, now you will stay home and I will have time to mend my wrongs."
