章 7: What I see is just a shadow of what I am - Part 1

Suddenly Fomsey apparate with a collection of mirrors of all possible shapes and sizes. I can't image how she got all those mirrors so fast. I suppose all house elfs get a little overzealous when they are happy to help their masters. Maybe a trait of their race? That's all I can think when i see all this mirrors.

''Good job Fomsey. Keep all the big ones and place they around his craddle'' My great grandfather said.

''Fomsey does as master says. Fomsey is a good elf'' She answered.

Suddenly I can see myself for the first time from all angles possible. Well I can't really say much about my appearance. I'm just normal nothing stands out from me. Maybe that I'm a bit chubby since Fomsey over feed me a little and I can't really do much exercise yet. Other than that I'm just a normal baby.

My great grandfather then said. ''Fomsey for the next week you will show Arcas how to say his name and you will teach him to recognize himself in the mirror''. I saw on his face that he couldn't wait for me to learn that.

''Fomsey can teach the young master. Fomsey is a good elf'' She said while crying yet again. Well at lest she really is happy.

Then my great grandfather turned around and left while whistling. For the next week I got a really overzealous elf. She told my name every day and at all times while showing me myself at the mirrors. Even when I tried to sleep she keep repeating my name till i fell sleep. Finally on the last day of the week my great grandfather came to see me. I can't belive it took him that long to come here. If I learned that it was going to be this back I would have say my name the last time I saw him.

''Fomsey did Arcas learn to recognize himself?'' He said while rising an eyebrown.

''The young master learned. Fomsey is a good elf'' She answered while looking totally confident and happy.

''Oh? Show me then'' Finally I will escape this routine. I must remenber never let Fomsey do anything for an extended period of time.

Suddenly Fomsey took me close to one of the mirrors and pointed at my image and asked. ''Young master please''. I answered. ''Arcas''. I try so hard to say my name all this week that I can say it fully without the babbling even tough my voice is that of a baby. I can see that my great grandfather is really happy that I 'learned' to recognize myself.

''Good job Fomsey. Now you can go back to your usual chores'' He said while taking me from Fomsey hands.

''Fomsey will do ask master says. Fomsey is a good elf'' She said while crying. I suppose is a honor for her to be congratulated so often. That's why she cry so much or maybe she is not used. While I think about this and if I should learn more about the house elfs in the future, Fomsey apparate away.

My great grandfather said while looking directed to me. ''I just hope you remenber who you are and never forget it. Let's just hope for the best'' I'm totally confuse. Why would he said that me?.

Suddenly it hit me. I felt like my mind was invaded but not to read my mind. It didn't feel like he was looking for anything It feel like he was implanting information and it hurt.

I feeled like my great grandfather was not looking at me but as if he was watching a little kitten. Then I saw us on the mirror and yes I was no longer a baby but a cat. All i could think was that he decide to transfigure me but is weird I didn't feel anything like i was getting enchanted or anything other than feeling like he was implanting information on me.

My great grandfather was really happy and he laugh really hard. It escared me a little since my hearing was better in this shape. He said ''It was not that hard isn't. What shape should we try now little bear?Oh I know''. He keep laughing while he said that. I feel the intrusion in my mind. This time I saw how my shape changed on the mirror. Now Im a little bear cub. My great grandfather is laughing a lot I can even see tears on his eyes.

Well even I think is a little funny but I wonder why he is enchanting me like this. I wonder what will be the next shape. Oh I hope is something with wings. Who doesn't want to fly at lest one time on their lives?. Suddenly my back hurted really bad. I saw my great grandfather face for one second and he is panicking really bad. Then I saw myself and I could see how some wings began to grow from my back.

Then I blacked out.
