<strong>Location:</strong>Truth in Stone Library<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Namira<br/><br/>Amunet peers over the object, considering, then nodded that she had a plan.  "Please follow me," she said, and led Namira through the Library.<br/><br/>The head librarian knew this place well, and seemed to find her way around effortlessly.  She already seemed to know which areas had people, and it didn't take long to bring Namira to a secluded set of tables behind a few bookshelves where she could speak up a little louder and not be overheard.  "I think I know what this is," she offered, "but, please don't freak out.  Remember: we're in a library."<br/><br/>With that, giving enough time for Namira to back out, Amunet set the bow down very carefully upon the table and cleared her throat before speaking several ancient words that Namira didn't understand.  Her form shifted into that of an honest-to-goodness sphinx, only her shirt remaining as the skirt faded into the rest of her body.  Although her head stayed at roughly the same height, she now had a lion's paw upon the artifact.<br/><br/>Her next few transformations were rapid and incomplete, shifting into a pendant, a shrunken-down sedan that barely fit between the wall and the table but for the smaller size...and then her form distorted, changing to something that looked maybe like a boat?  A crescent moon?  It was incomplete, indistinct, hard to tell, and it didn't take her long to shift back into what was apparently her natural sphinx form.  Finally, with a few more words of sacred power, she once more took an entirely human form.<br/><br/>"I haven't seen one of these in quite some time," Amunet explained, pulling pen and paper from her purse in order to write.  "In ancient times in Babylon, it was common for objects beloved by the gods to have the power to change shape if one didn't want to have to carry around several large and encumbering things all at once.  Some say that Gilgamesh didn't truly have so many weapons - just one that would transform into many different kinds of weaponry - but I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure."  Amunet only took so much stock in stories told.<br/><br/>She handed Namira a sheet of paper, both with the original Babylonian cuneiform and Romanized phoenetic that she'd be able to read.  "This first sentence reads 'I command you to take the form of' followed by these words:  Unula means Jewelry and it takes a pendant form.  Ma, don't use that one inside the building, literally means ship.  Finally, Illar means Bow, to return it back to this form."<br/><br/>Amunet made no further attempt to touch or claim it, knowing Namira would want it back.  "You have a rare treasure here; I doubt I need to tell you to be careful with it."
