Chapter 67: Harassment-III

Elise was also surprised but what had just taken place to the grim reaper. Just in a snap of magic, the Grim Reaper was turned from a cloaked black creature to the adorable chick with a soft bright yellow feathers. She had heard of how strong Sorcerers were but she never knew that Master Ian was much stronger than any rumors she had ever heard.

When Hallow tried to move his hand it took him a long time to realize that his hand had become feather wings with no fingers!

"Mirror! Girl, give me a mirror! NOW!!" shouted Hallow to Elise. He has to see his own reflection to confirm his thought! Without being able to shove out his wings, he could only kept his wings that was near to his waist to flap.

"I don't have one," replied Elise and Hallow turned around abruptly to search for whatever the nearest to him. Not too far from the place he stood at, he saw a small water that had created a pool in the concave ground and ran to the place to view his own image and to his surprise he had really turned into a yellowish feathery being!

"AHHH!! WHAT IS THIS?!" Screeched Hallow his green colored eyes widened in horror. "Is that me?! Is that me?!" He asked Elise as in the place he was sure only the human girl would answer her.

Elise nodded subtly at the frightened grim reaper, "I think so." she could understand his surprise of being suddenly turned to chick as anyone would be as surprised as he was if their body was transformed into a small chick.

Hallow felt his whole view spinning. It was stupid for him to believe the damned undead! Running with his two nimble feet, his orange beak chirped up and down for his voice to explode. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!"

"I change you to a chick." Ian replied lazily.

"For death's name I know you **er!! I'm asking why you turned me to this... This feathery yellowish being!!" Hallow was in a great disbelief never on his entire career did he ever imagined to turn into the animal whose job was to lay eggs!

"Oh," Ian gasped feigning a surprise face, "Should I have turned you into a rat? Or do you prefer to become a toad?"

"NOT EITHER!! I'M A GRIM REAPER BESTOWED BY THE NAME HALLOW!!" Hallow hissed. Knowing the undead being was able to turn him into a chick, he was sure that he could also turn him to either rat or a toad and the thought made his skin crawl. Not rat especially not rat that he hated the most for its dirtiness! thought Hallow to himself.

"Turn me back!! Now!!" the little chick demanded, his wings was waggling vigorously that made him almost like a flying bird. He might looked frightening in his black cloak but now that he was turned to a chick with big yellow head and large green eyes with one orange beak that was rather loud for a small animal, he looked rather adorable even with his foul mouth.

"Are sure you want me to turn you back?" Ian amused himself.

Hallow knitted his brows altogether, feeling somewhat tainted by his question, "Of course! What if I turn back?!"

"Then you would have to leave this house. Say good bye to the shelter of my mansion. It was short knowing you which I now that I think about it we haven't really known each other but I'm sure you will be fine by being feasted by Death Angels."

Although Hallow didn't have a heart he could feel his heart dropped after his words.

"Wait!" Ian halted his finger that was about to return his magic and glanced askance to the little chick who impatiently stopped him.

"What?"

"Okay, I will let you turn me to a chick!" Hallow said in a solemn voice, "I'm sure we could still talk this out together. You don't have to be rash Sir undead!"

Ian smiled pulled up from a grin to an even line on his lips, "That works great didn't it? I will give you a protection in my mansion, as long as you keep yourself nicely inside the house no death angels would be able to touch you but in exchange you will do two things for me. First would be answering all my questions and hers," Ian said his hand moved toward Elise, "Second you would have to stay here and protect her."

Elise who heard Master Ian ordering the grim reaper felt her heart flutter and her smile turn lax in her lips.

"Wait a moment!" Hallow interjected, "Before that could I request you to change my figure?" desperation laced his voice. "I can't touch anything with this wings! Just give me my fingers!" he yelled. Once by chance Hallow heard from a human who spoke about being stressed out and initially he rolled his eyes mocking the human for being too weak to be stressed out but how he was the ever first grim reaper to be stressed by the undead!

"I don't think a finger in your appearance would look normal." replied Ian.

Elise from the side also wondered how could a chick have fingers and when she pictured a chick with finger, she felt a chill and immediately shook her head.

"Then change me into something else!"

"As I've said earlier, I only know how to turn you into either chick, toad, or rat. Which do you prefer?"

"All of them don't have fingers, damn it!" Hallow retorted in speed where Elise wondered that the grim reaper was very obsessed with his fingers.

"Don't you have anything else?! Something that looks more humanely." he added his request.

"Nothing that I knew of." Ian said feigning an obliviousness that neither Elise nor Hallow could ever doubt him. "Just be content of your appearance now, reaper or a chick?"

"I am neither of that!! I am the head of eight grim reapers bestowed by the Hallow! In short I am Hallow the great! What? What?!-" He was still in the middle of his speech when Ian pulled the chick from the back of his neck.

"Puppy." came the voice that took her blue eyes to him. "I will be having some talk with the reapers, which reminds me what were you doing here?"
