Part 6
Chapter 1
Earl approached the supply closet.
He saw Geo crumpled on the floor.
“Get me a beaker cat-man,” Geo said huskily.
Earl did so, handing it to the scientist.
Geo got up some and grabbed a few of the boxes of ingredients off a shelf.
He had thought of two more of the ingredients he had had in mind, with one unknown ingredient left. He retrieved those ingredients and scanned the shelves.
One of the first boxes he crossed eyes on was the third unknown ingredient. He went to it and picked it up.
“Please, help me fill the beaker,” Geo said. “Equal parts out of these bottles will make the potion.”
“Okay,” Earl said.
Earl mixed the potion carefully.
Geo drank it quickly.
Earl watched. Geo waited.
Chapter 2
The lines of blue light on Geo faded.
The glowing from him diminished.
Geo smiled faintly.
The light on him faded completely and his form changed to that of a human.
Geo stood, leaning against a wall. He was panting.
“Thank you ever so much for your help,” Geo said to Earl.
Earl nodded, “Glad to help.”

Earl left Geo's lab. He mounted his horse and continued on through Pillar.
