]Lunar: The Silver Spoof, Nall’s Transformation
By Xeta Psilon, xeta@stratos.net
	It was a fine day on Lunar, the sun was shining, the bees were buzzing, and some wizard was 
accidentily turning wine into water (he just can’t get that spell right…).  Alex was humbly doing whatever 
it is he does now that he’s defeated the ultimate evil in the world.  No one really seems to ever think about 
what heros do once they win.  Get an interview, a few knightings, and then what?  He kinda wished that 
he’d done something neat, like get cursed with a third arm that he can go on a quest to remove, but NO!  He 
just gets bored doing little peasent work.  Besides, he’s only a kid, and can’t get married to Luna or 
anything, THAT would be interesting.  But no.  He wished Nall would chill with him for a while.  But no, 
he has to go “learn the ways of a dragon…”  Alex just thinks he’s going and eating fish all day, which isn’t 
wrong because it’s right.  That’s when the revalation came.
	He then decided that he needed something to do other than wave his hoe around.  That’s when he 
took up badmitten.  Yes, that great sport of whiney kings.  He decided all the other sports were snubby 
(snubby?).  He just sat there and waited for an opponent, it’s a lot more fun than you think!
	Nall on the other hand was “Becoming a Dragon…” and getting kind of sick in the process.  
That’s when he got a vision!  A great angel of Althena appeared before him and told him he had a great 
mission to fulfill.  Nall just then popped his ears and asked the angel to repeat what he said.  The angel, 
obviously insulted, go told Nall to screw an egg.  He then went to a pub in order to drown his angellic 
sorrows in a good lager and was condemed by the other gods by not doing his job, and picked up a job with 
Zophar.  Nall on the other hand had not fully prepared himself for the moment of truth, and when his 
stunning first transformation occurred, Nall was strategically located in timessquare.  
	The initial shock to the villagers was as if nothing had happened, they just thought – “Hey, a cat 
became a guy.”  Then a few minutes later it was – “HEY, that CAT just became a GUY!!!”  And then there 
was all the women who smashed him with their feet shouting pervert!  
	When he finally came to, he was fully clothed with the town’s finast potato bag.  He still hadn’t 
taken in the fact that he was a guy!  He had taunted them all his life, and now he was one!  It was a total 
bust!  It must have been that angel’s fault, and he left to pursue him.  Little did he know that the immortal 
soul was currently reaking havok with traffic tickets.
	He left the town, care of the femenist association, with some new clothes and a sword.  It wasn’t a 
good sword, just a first level one.  It took him some time adjusting to the fact that his sprite now changed 
when he entered the overworld map.  He managed to make his way past the rubble of Vane to Meridia 
where he could rest his rump at Ramus’s.  Little did he know that as a dragon NO ONE knew who he was, 
and when he came in saying, “Yo Ramus, it’s me Nall!”  This got him nowhere, and when he tried to 
reason with him, and tell him his story, Ramus but only laughed at him, laughing back: “This is Fantasy 
Lunar we live on, things like THAT don’t happen here…”  Nall, very disgruntled, left very disgruntled in a 
very disgruntled mannor.  
	He thought the only good idea was to take a walk down Black Rose street.  There he met a 
sorceress Xertula.  After whinning about his sab story in a bar to her, she helped him out by buying him 
another drink.  Nine pints later, he was a little more than tipsy.  She enjoyed having him around more like 
this, which shouldn’t be confused with her seducing him, she wouldn’t even think about being with a 
psychopath who has two coloured hair and fangs.  She merely enjoyed him balancing a plate, on a fork, and 
his nose with the percision and skill not even he could master, which shows because it all came crashing 
down.  He left the bar later (which is good because if he left earlier than you’d know that I was really on 
some tough drugs…) and he and Xertula went to “Prank the neighbors” when suddenly the Johnsons 
caught them and Nall wished only to fly away, and he did, glad to know that he was in his good old fuzzy-
form.  Xertulas was amazed that Nall’s story was true, and not the product of a few mental problems (in the 
writer actually…).  And knowing that this was right, she felt that he was no longer the silly person he once 
was, and left him to go tell the stupid wizard from the beginning of the story that it’s  WATER to WINE, 
not WINE to WATER! (It didn’t help, but her moving to this new place caused changes in the astral plane 
that holistically led to the original angel (who’s name happens to be Mel, but that doesn’t matter) to have a 
change of heart and tell Nall about his shapeshifting powers. 
	Nall was so amazed by this sudden revalation, that he decided to tell Alex, who became instantly 
excited and taught him to play badmitten, and they lived happily ever after until Alex died, and Nall 
realised that something was missing in his life now that Badmitten was gone, some kind of unfillable 
void…
