With a puzzled look on his face, Kresch took a deep breath and began to speak, his voice cold, calm, and ever so gentle, "I figured you would want to know this about me. As you may have already guessed, when I change, I gain everything from the person I am changing into. I physically and mentally become them, although I retain my sense of self at the same time. I remember everything I feel as them. When I changed into your father, I acquired all of his memories; of you, of his wife, everything. I also acquired his pain, his happiness, his regret. It is a most-useful tool, but it comes with a price. I do suffer when I become others, but what I gain makes it all seem worth it. But I do have some interesting information for you, my lady. The Queen, she does have the ability to change, but she is not like me. She cannot gain memories like I can. She is not of my race, which is what allows me to retain them. This is going to be useful when we confront her. If she does try to change into someone, I will know, for I know things she will not. This will allow you to exact revenge that much easier." And with that he gazed upon her until she finally spoke.
