The next morning, not long after breakfast,
a handsome wizard of indeterminate age came for a visit.
It was Luke, whom Colin had been thinking about the night before.
"Colin," Luke said with a smile as he walked into the yard, handing Colin a thick book, "I believe this Transformation Technique won't disappoint you."
His frame was lean, but his walk conveyed a weightiness like that of refined steel.
Luke had been present during Colin's duel with Barney, capturing the event with an Image Capturing Crystal. He was quite a familiar figure.
Since they both had Friday night shifts, they had become somewhat acquainted.
As it happened, Luke specialized in Life Transformation, so Colin had previously asked him to find a transformation technique suitable for ordinary people.
"Then I look forward to seeing it." Colin responded with a smile, leading him to the second-floor reception room.
They sat down on the milky yellow sofa by the window, with a carved small round table in between.
