Ryan
The male centaur, whose name you learn is Ryan, takes you around the forest. He shows you the various trees and plants, the best shrubs and berries for eating, cool clearings, the best spots to sleep...time flies, and you realize that you've been with Ryan for seven days. Time is kind of funny in this world.
Ryan takes you to a small clearing in the center of the forest. Flowering trees overhead give the clearing an intoxicating aroma, and in the center, the blossoms fall into a stone basin filled with shimmering water. Ryan turns to face you.
"There's something I need to tell you," he says, "I love you. I love you, and I want us to be together, here in this forest, as centaurs, forever. If we drink this water, we can be. There are three places in this world that will make a transformation permanent. This is one of them."
Your mind is racing. You remember that, in three days, you can find another costume, and morph again. Or, apparently, you can drink the water, and spend the rest of your life as a centaur with Ryan.
