"I think you need to be turned!" Irzen looked over at the Cleric, "Care to do the honors, Lazheros?"

Alyson backed her mount far enough away to know that this was not going to be a simple new way to die for the Chronicler.

Irzen didn't have to ask the bronze man who viewed the chronicler's latest disguise with utter disgust as he raised his own weapon above him muttering something in draconic as the clouds formed above the party, "There is a DIFFERENCE between DEATH and UNDEAD, chronicler. You have chosen poorly!"

"I'm going to be TURNED!" War Scribe cried in pure glee, "YES! YES! YES!"

Mandur added a Branding Smite in case War Scribe some how survived and tried to disappear. "Death comes for us all even those who believe themselves immortal and untouchable by normal, or magical means. You are a travesty! Pure and simple!"

"I'm not a travesty!" The Chronicler argued, "I'm UNDEAD! And I'm going to get TURNED! Is that so bad?"

A beam of radiant fire blasted the Chronicler into a crispy husk of a drowling with one catch, she was still alive. In pain but alive.

When the beam of radiant fire struck War Scribe, the Chronicler cut loose with a blood-curdling scream mixed with pain and joy as she bathed herself in the divine inferno and dropped to her knees.

"Well damn, Scribe," Alyson gasped noticing her new attire and suddenly surrounded by images of giggling children, "Uh, does anyone else see this or it is just me?"

"Nope!" Irzen replied, "I see it. I just don't believe it!"

"What in the Realm?" Serna asked in pure disbelief as she surveyed War Scribe's new countenance.

"You see that's the problem with someone like that creature," Came a new voice floating over to all of them, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Puck and I say that want-to-be drowling as you call her needs some joy and children in her life to give her a different perspective. Wouldn't you agree?"

Though War Scribe was a crispy critter, the Drowling raised her burnt head slowly rose to her feet and cried out, "Ancient spirits of Validor, transform this decayed form to WAR SCRIBE, THE EVER-DYING! YYYYYYAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

Puck waved his hand and the chronicler's ridiculous cry to Validor was denied. Her crispy appearance just fell off as the wind blew away the burnt husk that covered her entire body to reveal a new look. "AH-ha! Much, much better! An old school look of the Mickey Mouse Club attire better suits this one than that drab, scantily skin tight outfit that she's been wearing all this time. Well, what does everyone else think?"

"I guess that would work," Serna shrugged her shoulders, "What do you think, Caliaphy?"

"OOOooo! Master Puck! He's a legend, Serna," Caliaphy flew up and over to the trickster, "Uh, why are you really here, Master Puck?"

Lazheros glanced towards the kurori and motioned her to be quiet.

With a look of complete maudlin upon his face, Irzen deadpanned, "Yeah, right."

Alyson face palmed, "Ugh! That is so not cool, Scribe. Seriously, Irzen, where did she learn about Thunder Cats from Earth?"

"Long story short?" Irzen began, "When we first got to the Realm, Dungeon Master split our rather large group of twenty into two teams. One group was to head to The Kingdom of Yarfell to save it from falling to Venger. The other group was to head to The Stinkwell Swamp to rescue our old Druid friend, Gareth, from his imprisonment. While we were there, the swamp created evil Drow versions of ourselves to kill us. Zakiyah the Lorekeeper popped up there to check up on us and when she departed she left us with War Scribe. That Drowling is Zakiyah's her evil twin sister complete with all of her knowledge yet acts as the mirror opposite of her in every way. For example; Zakiyah is orderly, War Scribe is chaotic, Zakiyah loves life, War Scribe adores Death, Zakiyah is calm, disciplined and focused while War Scribe is hyper, undisciplined and scatter-brained."

"Hey!" War Scribe yelled at Irzen, "Who are you calling undisciplined? I resent that! I will have you know that it takes a great deal of discipline to be a Chronicler of Validor."

"Yeah, right!" Irzen deadpanned, "Anyway, that's how War Scribe knows so much about Earth culture. She was literally born of a woman who actually lived it."

Somewhere nearby the sound of several mirrors breaking echoed throughout the area. Shaking a finger Puck added, "No, no, no silly Chronicler, you merely took on an UNDEAD disguise as to blend in, which by the way STUNK! If you were truly undead, these two fine gentlemen would have TURNED you permanently transporting you to a one way trip Between the Worlds."

"And Validor would have rescued me with a snap of his immortal fingers!" War Scribe concluded with a snap of her own fingers to emphasize her point, "He looks after those who do his bidding and rewards those who are faithful to him. And I am soooo faithful! Faithful to Validor! Faithful to being a Chronicler! And faithful unto Death!"

Puck again waved her off, "You may be able to travel and record horrific events on worlds where true magic exists but you do not have power between the worlds."

"But Validor does because he's a god!" War Scribe stuck her tongue out at Puck.

Caliaphy shuddered, "Oh no, the Sidhe King has beef with you silly drowling and that means you're in BIG trouble if he sends the Huntsman too."

"The Sidhe King?!" War Scribe hunched her shoulders, "Who the hell is that? Is this someone I should know? Or someone who knows me? And what beef could a runt of a fairy king have with me? The last time I checked I didn't trample any fairy mounds or do anything THAT stupid."

"A Wild hunt, here?" Lazheros grumbled, "That would be bad indeed."

"A Wild Hunt for me?!" The Chronicler asked in pure disbelief, "Personally, I would consider it an honor to be hunted down by a pack of wild dogs, caught in a bear trap, drowned in a river, stuffed full of cotton and mounted with my head hanging on a wall looking down on a Sidhe Court."

"Uh, Scribe, the Sidhe king is Elethion. You know him as the Cat who first appeared in the Wild Magic zone, then to Roberts when Quake's mishap with magic occurred, and most likely somewhere in Asylum." Alyson informed the drowling.

"PATCHES!?!" War Scribe gushed in pure glee, "Patches is the Sidhe King and he goes by the name Elethion?! WOW! He's REALLY moving up in the Realm for a silly old housecat."

"But I would at least like to know why I'm being hunted by the Sidhe King?" War Scribe mused as she thought wistfully, "Hmmmm, let me think, have I ticked off anyone recently that would want me dead?"

"As my king stated to you chronicler not too long ago, Death is denied to you, or is it Death is repulsed by your latest disguise, or was that Death is tired of you?" Puck floated in front of the party with his legs crossed.

"Death and I are best friends, Puckster!" War Scribe replied in pure confidence, "She would no more abandon me than I would abandon her."

"Since you insist on staying in this current abhorrent state, you shall remain as a Mousekteer surrounded by the images of giggling children from the Mickey Mouse club until further notice, well at least until the next full moon and that's ten days from now. Tootle-loo!" And he vanished with a laugh.

"Fine, Puckalicious, be that way!" War Scribe snarled, "Who needs you anyway? Nobody asked you to come here and nobody wants you to stay. So off with you!"

The Drowling turned to the others, "What are all of you guys staring at? You look like you've never seen a Mouseketeer before! And I don't see why not, after all," War Scribe began to sing, "It's a Small World".

It's a world of laughter,
A world of tears.
It's a world of hopes,
And a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.

"Come on everybody sing the chorus with me." War Scribe encouraged the others.

Mandur grumbled under his breath among his kin muttering obscenities in his native tongue.

It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.

There is just one moon,
And one golden sun.
And a smile means,
Friendship to every one.
Though the mountains divide,
And the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all.

"One more time!" The Drowling began to dance with the images of giggling children.

"Blasted Fae magic," Lazheros reined his war goat back and around the other side of the elementalist.

Caliaphy started to dance excitedly, "Wow! She's pretty good!"

It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world!

"Well, what do you think? Can I put on a performance or can't I?" War Scribe asked no one in particular.

"Not bad," Alyson admitted to War Scribe, "At least you got the song right. I used to watch the original Mousekteers when I was a kid, the black and white version, not the new one with Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake."
