GREETINGS, BOY. *Who are you?* thought Jon (in Karyn's body). I AM THE POWER THAT LIVES IN THE STONE. YOU HAVE DISPLEASED ME BY WISHING AWAY THE TRUE GUARDIAN. SO I MUST PUNISH YOU. *Punish me? How?* I WILL MAKE EVERYONE THINK THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY. AND THEN I WILL LEAVE. *What?* thought Jon for a second, and then it hit him. *It's going to make me stuck as Karyn! That's its punishment!* The stone flew out of Jon/Karyn's chest. She made a grab for it but it vanished. "Great." said the new Karyn. "Well, I guess I'll have to live like this from now on..." **THE END** (I think...)
