Jason turned towards Ellen, who was glowing now with the power of transformation. His heart sank, he knew what was to happen now, "Ellen!" He called, his illusions shattered, his mind froze and for once...he felt he could admit something he had been keeping within him for the longest time, "I love you!"

She could not respond, for in a moment she had been turned into a tree by her own free hand. Jason shook off tears...for he had waited too long to tell his heart's desire.
