Your head feels as though Ryon took a large mallet and used it to pound out the imperfections. Your mouth is dry as cotton and you don't even want to try and smile. You stand to your feet and feel a woosh of lightlessness. That's right, you're an elf now!
You open your eyes and the light seems to hurt them. You blink a few times and finally the world returns to focus. You are standing beside a small steel bed in a large white room. It gives the appearance of lifelessness and you feel it choking you.
"It is just the elf blood in you. Relax." Ryon's voice comes from some unseen speaker.
"You're a jerk, Ryon." You say as you swallow your panic.
"Aren't I?" He laughs. "Here's the deal Agent Rayn. If you chose to go alone on this journey, you will succeed because you are that good. If you go with Justyn, you will do well but he is too careful for your wild ways."
"People change." You say.
"Yes. I see that." Ryon mocks and you know he is talking of your recent transformation.
"I want a mirror." You say.
"Truly, Rayn, I never would have figured you for vain."
"You don't know me too well, Ryon." You say as the white walls part and color floods in. Ryon approaches carrying a small silver framed mirror.
"Beautiful, Rayn. Truly. I think this transformation was good for you." Ryon says as he reaches you and gently touches your cheek. "It brings out your best features."
"And your worse ones." You say as you swat his hand away. "Give me the mirror."
He hands you the mirror and you take a deep breath. Slowly, you bring the mirror up to your face and stare in shock. Your cheekbones are higher up and more defined, your eyes are a deep gray which was a color you always admired, your lips are slightly fuller with a natural healthy pink color and your slightly crooked nose straightened and looked pixie-like.
Ryon jerks the mirror from your hand. "You're falling in love with yourself." He says coldly.
"Better than falling in love with a jerk like you." You say because you know what he said was true.
"Well, choose. Do you want to work this case alone?" Ryon questions as the mirror seems to disappear. Something is not quite right about the whole chamber of white thing. "Or do you and Justyn work as a team again?" Ryon crosses his arms and you notice that his eyes are not brown like you originally thought. They are a yellowish green and actually quite ugly. You try to ignore the sinister smile as you think of your options.
