"Lady Chronoa, I'm here!" Karochi sounded just a tiny bit excited. He was finally almost done with the job.
When he thought about the past two years, he could practically weep! Why had he ever agreed to this? At least now, once he finished this last task, he'd get a nice, long vacation.

At this stage, he was entirely capable of transforming. He met all the requirements! So why hadn't he transformed yet?
Karochi gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "I've tried over the past two years, but
