The little fairy, as small as a dewdrop but six times as brave, watches Jack in the Box free Sheer from the brambles. He limps back to the Mountain, and the little fairy grows, becoming a lavender orb that trails him all the way up, just out of sight.
When he has reached the Mountain, the orb begins to circle him, changing from lavender to palest blue, then gold, then an eye-smarting shade of neon green.
And then it sinks into the ground, never to emerge again.
A sense of peace arrives as the fairy disappears, as warm and soothing as a spring breeze. His hair returns, as does his voice. The peace sinks deeper, into his very bones. Into his new bones, as wings appear at his sides. Like an angel, as he had asked to be. Will it be enough to keep his family safe?
Only he can answer that.

Jack in the Box has been granted Angel Mimicry, and has been cured of scales and mutism. The jagged horns he received can become permanent if you'd like, just mention that in the update.
