I would like to take a moment to remind everybody that one of the 
justifications for people viewing those cursed by Metamor as demons 
and the like is that in most other parts of the world, transformation 
magic is feared.  For good reasons or not, it is feared and 
shunned.  And so, let's try and limit the number of times we TF 
outside of Metamor, or at the very least, not make it a ready excuse 
for whatever new TF we want to do.

That said, I greatly enjoyed this tale and don't think there's 
anything necessarily wrong with it.  But I think Stealth should write 
a few more stories where he doesn't change into some new shape. ;-)

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
