There was nothing I could do for the girl though, poor thing was ripped to pieces before I could get to you. Running half-exhausted through the forest made you a pretty tempting target for that pack. Then again, given how you picked up that amulet, you probably wouldn''t have lasted much longer, even if you had managed to get away."'

					'You whip back the covers and the front-open hospital gown to discover a pair of naked breasts and the smooth curves of a teenage girl. An empty feeling between your legs informs you that your old friend has gone missing.'

						'The girl frowns at your tone. "<i>I</i> saved your life. Twice, even. You shouldn''t run off into the woods at night, let alone be fondling ancient amulets you know nothing about. Especially something like the Amulet of Power. Turns out that it passed to you. Must have happened when you touched it."'

						act 'What''s going on?':

							'<center><img <<$set_imgh>> src="images/system/1_openings/shared/npc_tatiana.jpg"></center>'
							'"What the hell is going on?" you respond. "What does that have to do with turning me into a girl?!"'
							'"Hold on, I''ll get to that. Let me start from the beginning," the girl says. "Magic exists and is real. Millenia ago, the world was not the same. The fae creatures who possess natural magic lived in balance, but the succubus were free to breed with whomever they wished."'
							'"They bred with humans, and with that human magicians were born. The Sidhe, the most powerful of the fae, feared the increasing number of human magicians and cast a very powerful spell to bind the succubus to them, preventing either from being able to reproduce without the other."'
							'"All magicians have some of that original fae blood in their bodies. It is through that that they are able to connect with the world of magic."'
							'She adjusts her glasses. "Most of the world simply ignores magic, or are protected from it by magic''s natural desire to remain hidden."'

							act 'Continue':
								*clr & cla
								'<center><img <<$set_imgh>> src="images/system/1_openings/shared/npc_tatiana.jpg"></center>'
								'"But last night there was a powerful burst of magical energy, strong enough to be clearly felt by any with magical connections. Can you guess where this surge came from? Yeah, that cave you found. Apparently the surge occurred when you opened the seal to the archive. Anyway, that was when we started to search. That source of power is desired by many, but it is extremely dangerous and in the wrong hands could cause untold horrors."'
								'She stops for a few seconds for you to process the information. It seems really far fetched.'
								'"A man named Reinhold wanted to prevent the amulet being misused, so he went out to find it. Of course, the moment you saw him, you dropped the amulet and bolted into the woods. He picked it up but didn''t bother to check you over. Unfortunately, he''s probably realized by now that the amulet no longer has the power and now he''ll be out to hunt you down."'

								act 'So, the whole world is just an illusion?':
									*clr & cla
									'<center><img <<$set_imgh>> src="images/system/1_openings/shared/npc_tatiana.jpg"></center>'
									'"So magic exists and is used by all these people and creatures, but the rest of us just don''t see it, or we convince ourselves it didn''t happen?"'
									'The girl nods. "Yes. You''re a quick study. Machines, apartments, television and the Internet. All of these really does exist and is in the form in which people see it. But if I say, hurl a fireball, then people might see that I threw a grenade or shot a flamethrower. The average human mind can''t process magic, so it blocks it out as a way to protect the person from going crazy."'
									'"Hence such things as little green men, UFOs, poltergeists and spontaneous combustion are from when people encounter a difficult-to-hide phenomenon and their minds come to a flawed conclusion. In some cases, a person''s mind can''t cope with the spell they witness and they are driven insane."'

									act 'And who are you?':
										*clr & cla
										'<center><img <<$set_imgh>> src="images/system/1_openings/shared/npc_tatiana.jpg"></center>'
										'"And who are you?" you ask.'
										'The girl smiles. "Me? I''m Tatiana, a young mage with a keen interest in magical phenomenon. I specialize in the treatment of mutations, and magic relating to the body. I have little combat skill, so I rely on the services of Gustav to provide some muscle. He''s a Mutant due to magical exposure. It gives him unmatched physical strength, plus he''s a great tracker."'

										act 'What do you want from me?':
											*clr & cla
											'<center><img <<$set_imgh>> src="images/system/1_openings/shared/npc_tatiana.jpg"></center>'
											'"And what is this amulet? Where did it come from?" you ask.'
											'Tatiana thinks about it for a few seconds. "It was made by the trickster Rikudo, one of the most powerful ancient magicians. He taunted the only living mage who could control its immense power by cursing him to be stuck in a female form, yet making it only activate for a male mage."'
											'"I''m not a mage though. How could the power be transferred to me? And what does that have to do with turning me into a girl?"'
											'"Well as for how the power was transferred, it seems that its long time underground caused it to malfunction and its power to enter your body. It was far too powerful for your body and would have ended up killing you and who knows how many others. Which is where the ''turning you into a girl'' part comes in."'

											act 'Continue':

												'"See, when I found you I could feel the aura of power emanating from you. That made it easy to put things together. I knew enough about the Amulet to know that the power would have destroyed you. So I drew from that aura to transform you into someone who was protected from the masculine alignment of the power."'
												'Tatiana runs a hand through her hair and giggles. "So I made you into a pretty teenage girl. Now the power is going to lie dormant, saving you from blowing up a city or something."'
												'"Wasn''t there any other way? Taking away my manhood is a pretty drastic move!"'

												act 'Continue':
													*clr & cla

													'"Of course there was another way. I could have just stopped your heart and let your power dissolve into nature. You would have died though. Reinhold might be the kind of person to kill you to save others, but I didn''t want to kill you right after saving you. Plus, with my magic, I was able to take this risk. Sure, maybe with more time doing research I could have worked out another solution, but I didn''t have a lot of time."'
													'"Of course I couldn''t just leave a newly created teenage girl without parents or a home, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Instead of just turning you into any old girl, I turned you into the girl you were with."'

This whole time, <<$pcs_nickname>>''s death didn''t feel real, like she was still around somehow. Maybe it''s because you now <i>are<i> <<$pcs_nickname>>, but even now you don''t feel a sense of loss or guilt.'
														'"Having a template to work off of really helped. Not even a geneticist could tell you two apart; you are identical from your fingerprints down to your DNA. Of course, that means your new ''equipment'' down there is fully functional as well, so if you don''t want to be a mommy, you should start thinking about contraceptives. You should probably also stay away from any male relatives if you don''t want to end up with a kid with eleven toes or something."'
														'You angrily glare at Tatiana. "So you think I''m a girl now? On the outside maybe, but guess what? I''m still a boy on the inside!"'
														'"Well, yes. I won''t argue about that." Tatiana agrees. "You can decide what you want to do with your life, but you might want to play the part of <<$pcs_firstname>> until graduation at least. On a side note, I already took care of an alibi. Yesterday, "<<$pcs_firstname>>" was found half-dead on the edge of the woods while the leftovers of Mikhail''s body were found deeper in. It''s in the news."
