Ygleon tried inmediatly of take the message to the witch, bellowing like an hungry hippo, but her grace and movement make him always end in the mud. And everytime he fall, his body get bigger and fatten, he was becoming slowly a true hippo like the witch said this make him more exasperated and take his body to the limit, he manage to touch the message and starting a "tug'o'war" with her... But...

Ygleon inmediatly started to feel a scorch in his right hand and all around his arm, meanwhile he clearly could see the witch in a same and worst pain. In exasperation he tried to release the message tube, but he was unable, both of them were unable to release them. Quickly a black energy starting to being sucked for the witch hands, meanwhile a white energy was sucked for Ygleon hands. The Tube starting to get brightly until its intensity blind him and a deep sound deef him.

Ygleon awake later with pain all around is body, his right arm was the one who get it worst, it was burned with and odd mark, and his hand was seriously damaged. But it was safe after all, not like the surrounding, the zone were the tube explode was burned and all swamps water were evaporated inmediatly, turning the swamps in another forest part... a very burned one.

Far away of Him the witch was seriously damaged and maybe death. But he still aproach to her, maybe if he save her life, she could return him to his human. self.. and search for answer about that "message". Ygleon prepared a restorative spell... But he was unable to do it, all his White Magical powers were totally drained. The witch look at him with kidness, her last words were a miserable "Sorry" and then he vanish, turning into water and dissapear in Ygleon hands.

Ygleon shout in frustation, confusion and fear, He was an Hippo now, and why he feel so sad for the person who cause that to him?.

He wanderer inside the forest, noticing that the birds and animal were starting to singing again, it was hard to believe that this please were before a putrid swamps. In the middle of a clear he found an Island with a small wooden house with a lot of plants in the middle, even if he doubt at first, he was needing help this make him to cross the lake (Who was pretty easy for his actual form this actually amaze him).

Nobody was inside the house and he was starting to get exasperated, Maybe if he sneak inside for some medicines for his wound nobody would notice (yeah, like if somebody don't would notice that an Hippo enter in the house).

He manage to go inside using the back door, without much disaster (he push some tables to the sides and leave feet mark all around) inside he found something that make him anger... It was the Witch house.

For some minutes he lose control of him, wreaking havoc around until he was forced to get calmed by his own wounds. He tried to rest over the bed, but this break causing him to fall into pain. He stay in the ground, feeling sadness and sorrow... It was his Fat coat who protect him from the explosion... But he was unsure what cause it... It was possible that the chancellor send him to a suicide mission? Maybe he already know about the coup in the wood chamber and he was sending to just being sacrifice... Maybe the witch did this... But why? kill herself? let him like an Hippo?... Ygleon slowly he starting to fall sleep, with his mind in doubts.

He awake hours later by a sweet scents who comes from outside, still with the wounds but feelling less pain, he go outside and search for the fountain of it. The witch have a garden outside, a pretty nice one, filled with differents vegatables and small trees, but some of them were starting to die. Ygleon take a look over the ground, even without knowledge green mana was released from his hand and the ground comes alive again, after that he look over a big vase, it was Filled with concentrated green mana.

Ygleon starting to feel like an ass, The witch wasn't bad, not at all... He was just asking for green mana to give live again to her garden... Maybe she was unable to use that mana like him... Ygleon take the vase to a near well and let the mana fall over it, he sit over the risk meanwhile the well turned into a curative bath, starting to put ideas together.

The Circle of protection didn't work because it was made for black energy spell, and not blue energy spell... the spell of changes.

This wouldn't be happening if he let green mana to her at first. But at the same time, he could be already death to that bomb.

The chancellor, one of the person more important to ygleon betray him. And the witch wasn't bad at all, just worried for the island nature and he treat her like dirty...

He sight before enter in the bath... "Maybe I kinda deserve it".
