As he did this the form of the great golden Lion shivered and began to dissolve before him, and for one moment, in its place, stood a man - a strong man - still continuing to look back at him.
He was broad and muscular, and had strength about his presence - his chest was bare and he wore his long straight hair pulled back behind him falling down to his waist. Puck, for just a second, seemed to recognise the figure - and in the moment that he did, the form had returned back into the sagely Lion that he knew so well.
Puck took the glasses off and returned them into the bag. "Azlan, I must go back now, mustn't I?"
The Lion nodded his assent replying gently: "yes, my Son" and with not a word more he had disappeared.
