Nasira opened her eyes. She first saw the amused flame-haired god and then took notice of the giant bawling teardrop behind the deity.

Nasira blinked slowly.

There was no one else it could be.

This ghoulish thing was Jafar.

And thus, the sorceress began to understand. Never one to hesitate, Nasira reached for his hand.

Instead of the touch of human flesh, she felt her whole being pulse.

Suddenly, she was less.

Suddenly, she was more.
