And the shape shifter within merged the wild power with the universal will
To leave behind the form which had been his gaoler for most of his life
He was free again - and he stepped out into the night air
The vital life force there revitalising him shifting him into a wraithlike form
With which he merged with the Moonstone and left behind this world
Wandering down ancient corridors as the old man with long white beard
A merlin - wild and unpredictable - alchemy like molten lava alive in his veins
Until presently the corridor came to an end and he walked into the wastes of space
"TRAVELLER BETWEEN WORLDS AWAKEN" A voice did cry
And in that instance he recaptured all his forgotten thoughts and weaved a path through space
A melchisidek once more - his potential awakened - his purpose anew
He drifted until it came time to return back to his gaol and his life of fear ...
