The difference between good and evil Pt 20

I wait in anticipation as the tube lets out a puff of steam and opens. Unlike Brie Ray doesn't just fall out. His crouched figure takes a step out and he stands to his full height, which has changed from six feet to ten.

His face is no longer scrunched in but strong, his jawline is now that of a very powerful man, his arms now only reach his hips which taper down into long strong legs.

Thankfully the shorts he had on stay in tact. He teeth are no longer serrated and his chest is full, his heart no longer exposed for attack. His eyes are bright blue and his black hair falls shaggy around his head.

"Is it just me or did you become much smaller." Like Brie once he finished his sentence his eyes got big. His voice no, longer coming out as a whisper, sounds full and deep like that of a grown man.

"Follow me." I say to him.

I lead him out of the room were he now has to bend to get out, and lead him to the other side of the hallway. This room, much like the other one, has a large mirror in it.

He takes a look into the mirror and admires himself. "I am no longer a beast." Is all he says.

"Ray is that you?" Bries matured voice says from the doorway

Ray turns around and gives a bewildered look. "Is that you?"

Brie runs up and throws herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck he holds her tight. "I didn't think you would come back." She says in a wobbly voice.

"I couldn't let you fight this battle alone Brie." She pulls away with tears in her eyes and kisses Ray's cheek before fluttering down on her wings, the shirt she's wearing has two holes in the back were her wings come through.

"It's time." I say, and leading them outside we all see the battle, it's pretty much over. All of Theo's creatures lay dead in the field, but almost all the animals have been killed as well, all that remains is a small group of lions who fight valiantly against Tartarus.

Brie calls out with her mind and the Lions retreat into the woods. Tartarus goes to chase them but Brie sends a large gob of acid at him. The back of his neck sizzles as his large thirty foot frame turns around and takes in our small group.

His eyes focus on Ray and go narrow. "A worthy opponent." His voice booms across the area in a malevolent ring.

Ray moves to face him but Theo comes from seemingly nowhere and yells out to Tartarus.

"We have to leave now, we can fight them another day with more of an army. You need to get me to safety!"

Tartarus ignores him and takes a step towards Ray, but Theo won't take no for an answer. He runs in front of Tartarus and throws out a hand trying to do to him the same he did to me.

This time Tartarus laughs at him. "You have filled you purpose tiny human, now it's time for you to die." In one motion he lifts up Theo and drops him into his mouth.

Resisting the urge to throw up as I see Tartarus swallow Theo whole, Brie grabs me and Veronica and pulls us to the side.

"You two have done enough, let us handle Tartarus." She says. I hesitate to answer as Tartarus and Ray circle one another sizing each other up.

Brie grabs my face and turns it to focus on her. "You've done all you can, if we win we win, if we lose we lose, either way I'll be praising God, as my father would have done."

I nod as a Lion comes from the woods behind us. Brie walks up to the beautiful animal and, placing her hand on him, heals his wounds, but not only that the Lion begins to grow larger.

Once the Lion is large enough Brie picks us both up easily and sets us on top of it. Using her mind she sends the Lion away, and the last thing I see before woods engulf us is her looking up, and her wings propelling her into the sky.
