''Brant?'' Kenric breathed. ''As in Brant, the late Jolie Lucine Ruewen's fiance? Why are you here? Did Fintan kidnap you as well?'' Brant laughed. ''No. I am a Pyrokinetic. I accidentally caused the fire that killed Jol- the girl.'' Brant turned around for a second and Kenric could've sworn he let out a choked sob. The man noticed it too and they both exchanged a pitying glance for Brant. ''Why did you join the Neverseen? Jolie wouldn't have wanted you to..'' Kenric said gently. Brant whipped around to look at him then rushed out of the room whispering something that sounded like ''Custard bursts'', leaving Kenric and the man extremely confused. It hadn't been 5 minutes before Fintan walked in muttering ''Two faced fool!'.  His eyes then fell on Kenric. ''Ah yes. The royal scumbag.'' Kenric internlly rolled his eyes. ''Eat this.'' Fintan said, handing him a bunch of black berries. ''Ruckleberries,'' Kenric whispered. Fintan wanted to disguise him. ''Why on earth should I eat ruckleberries?'' Kenric asked. ''Because I said so. And if you don't, you know what I can do.'' came the reply. He reluctantly put all six ruckleberries in his mouth. Suddenly his skin began to stretch. Kenric nearly cried as he saw his own body for maybe the last time.

He closed his eyes as he felt the strange sensation of his body changing. ''I do not have time for this,'' Fintan told the man. ''Call me when the process is done.'' With that, he left the room. Several seconds of silence and strange sensations went by. ''You can open your eyes now, Councillor Kenric...'' the man said gently. More than half of Kenric's mind told him not to open his eyes, but he listened to his sensible half and opened his eyes.
