The Escape of the Prince
By Bill Hart
"Put these clothes on," said Aldrath, tossing his young companion a
bundle of clothing.
But as soon as young Prince Tarik unwrapped the bundle, he stared at
the clothes and the dark long-haired wig that had been within it for
several minutes. He then glared at his father's long time advisor.
"I will not don any of these things, Aldrath. These are the clothes
of some maiden," he snarled. "Not only must they belong to a girl,
but they're obviously those of a simple peasant one at that."
"But you must wear them, Prince Tarik. Otherwise all hope of escape
may be lost," replied the advisor. "We are currently under siege.
Your father, my King, has charged me with assisting your escape from
those now within the palace grounds. I will do whatever I think
necessary in order to help you escape from here unscathed."
"I will not don the clothes of some maiden, Aldrath." He tossed the
clothes and the long-haired wig onto his bed. "I would speak with my
father about this matter. Where is he, Aldrath?"
"I do not believe that is such a good idea, my Prince."
Tarik stared at his father's advisor. "I said I would speak with my
father, Aldrath. Although I've known you since I was a small boy, you
are beginning to try my patience. Now tell me where I might find my
father."
Aldrath sighed. "If you insist; I would suggest that you look out the
window into the courtyard."
"What nonsense is that?" growled the prince. "I will only say this to
you once more, Aldrath - I would speak with my father - now. If we
are truly under siege as you claim there is no time to play foolish
games or look out onto the courtyard."
"Just look out the window, Prince Tarik," replied Aldrath. "Once you
do, then you will see King Geslarc, your father. You will also know
why I did not think it a good idea."
The prince slowly walked over to the window and looked out into the
courtyard. For several minutes, he just stood there staring and
trembling. When he finally turned back toward Aldrath, his face had
turned pale and ashen from a combination of fear and shock.
"Who could have done this monstrous thing, Aldrath?" His voice trembled
with a building rage. "Who would dare chop off my father's head and
then leave it hanging on that pike for all to see?"
"I'm afraid there are several who might have dared this deed, my
Prince," said Aldrath calmly. "There are many in our land who dislike
and fear your father, especially since your mother's sudden unexpected
passing.
"Rumors of civil unrest run rampant throughout the land. And there
have also been several unsubstantiated rumors of an ancient immortal
sorcerer of the old legends freely roaming the kingdom. Your father
never gave the old myths nor the legends much credence - although I
too find it difficult to believe in someone's immortality; no one
lives forever, my Prince.
"But this deed I fear is the work of your Uncle Sterak. He has always
had his ambitions to rule this land; he has long sought and desired
your father's throne, which is now yours by the right of your birth."
"I will kill that scurrilous mangy cur!" swore Tarik. "And in so
doing will I avenge my father's death."
"But if you seek to avenge him this day, my Prince, it is not likely
you will live to see your fifteenth birthday next week," warned
Aldrath. "Did you see the empty pike standing beside the one with
your father's head?" Prince Tarik nodded solemnly. "Your uncle has
reserved that pike for your head. With his lies and ill-gained
monies, Sterak has won over many friends in high places. It didn't
take much; most of Sterak's new friends doubted your father's sanity.
But should you go out into the courtyard to face them today, you will
die. Should you remain here much longer, you will also die. And if
I'm caught aiding you escape from your uncle, I will die with you -
but I'm not important."
"I cannot dress in a maiden's clothes. It is unmanly."
"But you must, Tarik. You will soon be as dead as your father if your
stubbornness in this matter persists," replied Aldrath. "I have it
all planned. Together we shall easily escape as a mother and her
young daughter. No one should be any the wiser until long after we
have safely crossed the river."
"But I still can't dress as a maiden," objected Tarik. "I will be
punished again, if I do."
"That is unacceptable nonsense, Tarik," replied Aldrath, becoming
annoyed with the prince's intransigency. "If you don't wear these
clothes now and flee, then who shall live to avenge your father?"
Tarik stared at his father's advisor. "I suppose you must be right,
Aldrath." He slowly shook his head. "But dressing as a maiden... it
seems both cowardly and unmanly." He looked at the clothing spread
out on his bed. "But if I don't do this... for my father's sake, then
my uncle will go unpunished for his regicide."
***
"I'm afraid we will not fool many people, Aldrath," said Prince Tarik,
as he looked at himself in the mirror. He shook his head. "You might
be able to pass as a woman if people are not overly attentive, but
even with this wig I still look like me - only with longer than normal
length hair. For once I wish I were more of my mother's child."
"Do not worry about fooling people quite yet, Tarik."
Aldrath quickly removed some odd-looking items from the small case he'd
brought with him. With an ease and speed that made the Prince wonder what
other secrets might be hidden in Aldrath's life, the advisor swiftly rubbed
something onto his cheeks and brushed something else across his
eyelids. And after that, he applied something to his lips from a
strange looking silver-colored cylinder.
Tarik had also wondered about the function of the strange undergarment
Aldrath had supplied, while fumbling with it, as he'd put it on. It
was obviously a maiden's undergarment of some sort, but on him it
seemingly served no purpose, useful or otherwise. However, that had
been before Aldrath had removed the twin pillowcases from the pillows
on his bed, folded them in a rather haphazard manner, and finally
inserted them between his chest and the odd undergarment. When Tarik
looked down, after noticing the pillowcases hadn't simply fallen to
the floor, he was astonished that he now appeared to have breasts.
They weren't very big, but they definitely looked like the breasts
of some young maiden.
When Tarik's curious gaze returned to the mirror again, he was more
surprised to see a young girl looking back at him. Aldrath had
colored his cheeks, eyelids, and lips as if he were a girl. Quite
inexplicably, he felt pleased that he might now fool a few people
into thinking he was actually a girl. He wasn't gorgeous - he was
still too much his father's son and could never be gorgeous - but he
could almost think of himself as pretty.
But as he continued appraising his feminine image reflected by the
mirror, he began worrying anew about being punished by his father.
The King would be furious seeing his son dressed this way, even if it
were, as Aldrath claimed, merely a simple ploy meant to save his life.
However, he reminded himself, his father was dead; who would punish
him now?
When he turned his attention back to Aldrath, Tarik was once again
surprised. Whatever the advisor had done to him, he'd now done for
himself as well. Aldrath now appeared to be a matronly woman with
shoulder-length hair that, except for the few streaks of gray spread
through it, was the same color as the wig he was now wearing. And
Aldrath also now possessed a woman's full and rounded pair of breasts.
"How?" asked Tarik, wondering what Aldrath might have found to stash
in his strange woman's undergarment that gave him such a convincing
set of woman's breasts. "They look so real."
"How is not very important right now," replied Aldrath. "We must now
think only of our immediate escape from here."
"But Aldrath..."
"There's no time for answering questions. We'll go out through the
old secret passage that opens out into the countryside," replied
Aldrath. "From now on you must call me nothing save Mother - I shall
be Aldra to everyone else. You will now be called Rika, my daughter;
you must answer to no other name. Now follow me, Rika; we have no
more time to waste."
The Prince looked at Aldrath. "Whatever you say, Mother," he replied.
And then, the Prince followed the disguised advisor out the door of
his room and down the hall to his father's quarters, where the secret
passage lay hidden behind the fake rear wall of the fireplace.
***
Tarik and Aldrath, still dressed as women and not wanting to attract
any undue attention to themselves, walked casually along the river.
They'd very easily slipped out through the secret passage without
being detected at either end. No one had even bothered to challenge
a woman and her young daughter as they'd made their way down to the
river bank.
And yet, even though they'd reached the river quickly enough, it
hadn't been completely without incident. They'd encountered a young
man, who had obviously had a little too much to drink. He must have
believed that Tarik was really the young maiden he appeared to be.
He had demanded of Aldra the services of her young daughter, as was
his due as a man of his station. A stone - quickly retrieved from
within Aldrath's bag of tricks - to the back of the young man's head
had quickly ended that nonsense. Although the young man would have
a hell of a headache when he woke, neither Tarik nor Aldrath believed
he would report them - his swaggering manner had told them he'd never
be able to tell anyone about being bested by a pair of women. But it
still fueled their urgency to escape.
"There's the bridge, Mother," said Tarik as he finally spied the span
across the river.
"It's about time, Rika," he panted. "All we'll need to do is cross
over to the other side. We'll be safe once we're on the other side."
"Then lets hurry along, Mother. I really don't want to be dressed
in these maiden's clothes any longer than is absolutely necessary."
"I think I understand what you mean, Rika," replied the advisor. "It
takes time to adjust to wearing so many more clothes as women must
always do."
Tarik eyed his father's advisor curiously, but said nothing. As far
as he was concerned, Aldrath could keep his secrets.
After several additional minutes had passed, they cautiously
approached the bridge. Four brawny soldiers, who calmly stood there
blocking their path to safety, guarded the entrance to the span. But
Aldrath and Tarik had no other alternative - in order to guarantee
their complete escape from Sterak, they had to cross the river here
and now.
"Halt!" said one of the soldiers as Tarik and Aldrath approached the
bridge. It made Tarik fell nervous and self-conscious when all four
soldiers leered at him with an undisguisable lust shining from their
eyes.
Tarik quickly looked away from them. Their continual stares made him
more and more self-conscious about being dressed as a maiden with each
passing second. He said nothing in reply to the constant taunts from
the soldiers, but his silence only seemed to encourage more of the
same from them.
"She must be a shy one," said one soldier.
One of the others grinned. "The best kind, I'm told. I'm sure we'll
be able to help her overcome it."
"What do you have to say for yourself, beautiful?" asked the third
soldier.
Tarik's face turned beet red with embarrassment. But before the
fourth soldier could add some new crude remark about it, Tarik heard
someone else say in a loud and clear commanding voice, "You men will
come to attention immediately!"
None of the soldiers spoke another word, but Tarik heard them quickly
snap to attention. Even if the man wasn't dressed like one, Tarik had
never been happier to see an officer before.
"Are you ladies all right?" asked the same voice, but this time far
more gently. "This isn't a very good excuse, I know, but we rarely
see women here. And even more rarely are they as attractive as you."
Tarik felt his cheeks burn again.
"Thank you very much for rescuing me and my daughter from your men,
sir."
"You're most welcome, madam. But they're his lordship's men, not
mine." He smiled at both of them warmly. "These men still know
better than to treat any woman as they were treating you. But as
I've already poorly explained, women of beauty like yours are most
uncommon in these parts."
"Might we then continue on way across the bridge, sir?" asked Aldrath.
"It keeps getting later and we are expected on the other side."
"I'm afraid not, madam. My lord Fomulus would like to meet with you
and your daughter first," replied the man. "I am his manservant
Drifesk; it is by his order that I have come to fetch you."
"But why would your master wish to see us?" Aldrath tried to sound
surprised. "We are merely plain and simple people."
"I afraid I don't know the answer to that question, madam," replied
Drifesk. "I am only the master's servant; he sees little reason to
confide in me."
"Very well then - I guess if we must, then we must - lead us to your
master, Drifesk. My young daughter Rika and I shall follow you."
Drifesk smiled, pleased the women were being so cooperative. "Please
follow me, ladies." He turned away from the bridge and began walking
briskly in the direction of wherever Fomulus waited for them.
"I think we're in big trouble, Mother," whispered Tarik. "Fomulus is
a known womanizer and we've also been told women are scarce here."
He took a quick look around the surrounding area. "Why don't we make
a break for it, Mother?"
"It's quite simple, Rika," whispered Aldrath back. "If we attempt to
run now, we will be quickly stopped. Punishments, so I've heard, are
often meted out swiftly here. As just an example, those soldiers
guarding the bridge might be allowed to have their way with us." He
paused long enough to make sure Drifesk wasn't listening to them. "I
don't know about you, Rika, but I care not to imagine what might
happen to either of us once they discovered we weren't truly women as
we appear to be."
"Oh," whispered Tarik softly.
After walking for several minutes, Drifesk led them into a large hall.
A man watched them enter, permitting them to nearly reach his chair
before rising. "Greeting, my dear ladies," he smiled, as he stared
in Prince Tarik's direction with an obvious intent written across his
face. "I am Lord Fomulus, your host for this evening."
"I am Aldra, a common woman, my Lord Fomulus," replied Aldrath with a
curtsey. "And this is my young daughter Rika." He waited a moment
for Tarik to also curtsey. "We greatly appreciate your proffered
hospitality, Lord Fomulus, but we really must be on our way across the
river. We have family expecting our arrival and we are already very
late."
"But I won't hear of you leaving now, ladies," said Fomulus. "Even
if you were to leave from here immediately, by the time you crossed
the river it would be dark. And once on the other side, there are
many long and dark miles to travel before reaching the next hamlet."
"But, my Lord Fomulus..."
"There is no purpose in arguing with me on this, madam. You will be
safer staying here for the night."
"I'll bet," mumbled Tarik under his breath.
"I would be thought a very poor host indeed, if I were to allow you to
leave now, ladies."
"But we wouldn't want to impose on you, Lord Fomulus."
"Nonsense. It is no imposition at all, my good woman. It is rather
only the most common of common senses." Fomulus grinned in Tarik's
direction. "And besides, it is the very rarest of days when two
beauties such as yourselves grace both my lands and my home." After
clapping his hands twice, a pair of women servants - actually girls not
too much older than Tarik - appeared. And even though Fomulus kissed
in turn the hands of the two visiting ladies, his eyes never strayed
far from Tarik. "We shall speak at greater length a little later on
this evening, fairest Rika," he said, as he gazed deeply into the
prince's eyes, before finally - much to Tarik's immense relief -
letting loose his hand.
Tarik shuddered as he realized Fomulus' interest in him was obviously
growing very quickly. From the man's unsavory reputation, he knew
that Fomulus' increasing interest in him boded a great deal of trouble
for them. Unless he was very careful around him, Tarik was certain it
wouldn't take Fomulus long to figure out their secret, especially if
he became as insistent with him as he was wont to do with any girl he
found interesting.
But for now, Fomulus seemed satisfied just to stare lustily at Tarik.
With an odd smile that Tarik found strangely disconcerting, Fomulus
suddenly turned to the two girl servants. "Pirae. Kemah," he sharply
addressed them. "You will take my guests to the rooms prepared for
them. You will help them clean up from their travels - perhaps they
might enjoy a refreshing bath. And afterwards, you will find them
fresh clean clothes to wear."
"Yes, my Lord Fomulus," replied Pirae and Kemah in practiced unison.
Tarik turned quickly to Aldrath. "But Mother..."
"Accompany the girls to your room, Rika," interrupted Aldrath. As he
leaned over and gave him a motherly kiss on the cheek, he whispered
in his ear, "Stay calm, Rika. Everything will be just fine." He then
turned back to Fomulus. "If I might, my Lord Fomulus, may I have a
word with you before I retire to my room?"
***
Although he had no idea why, Tarik felt strangely out of sorts as he
followed the two girl servants Pirae and Kemah. At Fomulus' order,
both of the girls had accompanied him since Aldrath, in the guise of
his mother Aldra, had been granted permission to stay behind and
speak with Fomulus about something.
Even though he appeared to be a woman, Tarik thought Aldrath should be
reasonably safe alone with Fomulus. Having seen how Fomulus had
continually leered at his more youthful form, Tarik considered the
advisor obviously a little too old to be someone Fomulus might desire
or show much, if any, interest in.
On the other hand, Tarik hadn't really enjoyed that odious way Fomulus
had kept leering at him one little bit. From all he'd heard of this
man, the intent behind Fomulus' constant gaze had been far too
obvious - the man wanted him in his bed. But what could he do about
it? If he spoke out or objected too strenuously to his unwanted
attentions, he might give away the fact that he and his "mother"
weren't really female. If that happened, he was quite certain Fomulus
would have no qualms about killing either of them or, far more simply,
returning them to his uncle so he could kill them.
Tarik decided his best course of action was hoping he and Aldrath
could spend this one night here without causing or getting into any
trouble. It wasn't likely, but he also hoped Fomulus wouldn't try
living up to his unsavory reputation as a womanizer with him as the
intended target. Tarik didn't want to consider anything Fomulus
might want to try with him while thinking him a young maiden.
As he entered the room - obviously, from its feminine decor, reserved
for female visitors - Tarik was surprised by its large size; women,
whether honored visitors or not, were generally never given rooms this
large. He was also surprised that Pirae and Kemah had followed him
inside.
"Well?" asked Tarik.
Both girls gave him puzzled expressions in return.
Pirae finally spoke. "Our Lord Fomulus has ordered us to help you
cleanup from your travels, my lady."
"We're only here to help you, mistress," added Kemah. "First we shall
help you bathe. Then we shall help you select a clean gown."
"But I don't really need any help for those things," replied Tarik.
Nor do I want to expose my secret to you, he added to himself.
"But you must allow us to help you, mistress," said Kemah.
"Lord Fomulus has so ordered it, my lady," said Pirae nervously. "If
we should fail in what he's ordered us to do, he shall have no other
alternative but to punish us, my lady."
Both girls looked at him with sad doe eyes. How could he even have
considered sending them away to be punished by someone like Fomulus?
"All right, you may both stay and attend me." Tarik still felt very
nervous and more than a little awkward about stripping in front of
these young female servants. "But you must both swear to me that you
will never reveal to anyone what I'm really like."
Kemah stifled a giggle. "That will be no problem, mistress. Whatever
it is about yourself you wish to keep hidden from others will never be
learned from one of us, mistress."
"As long as we might serve you as our master wishes, my lady, then all
else shall be just between us, my lady." Pirae smiled at him.
"All right," replied Tarik still not completely sure he could trust
them. "As long as you clearly understood me, I suppose you may now
help me prepare for my bath."
Quite quickly, the servants undressed Tarik. Having steeled himself
for twin blood-curdling screams once they'd removed his skirt and then
those overly frilly female panties, Tarik was surprised when they'd
just continued undressing him as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
But having already been told about women being in short supply here,
Tarik wondered how common it might be in this place to find a man
wearing a woman's clothes.
Even when Pirae and Kemah removed his blouse and that strange woman's
undergarment, they'd still seemed at great ease with what he knew they
must have seen. He had been almost certain both of them would react
adversely when they removed that peculiar undergarment where Aldrath
had folded and stashed the twin pillowcases between it and his chest
making it appear he had two small breasts.
But they hadn't reacted as he'd expected at all.
Even when the pillowcases had fallen to the floor, they hadn't said
a single word. They had simply continued preparing him for his bath
as if nothing strange or unusual had happened. But suddenly, Tarik
realized something wasn't as it should be. When he looked down at
the floor, he didn't see either of the pillowcases, but then, he also
hadn't seen either girl bend over to pick them up off the floor.
What had happened to them?
But just a brief moment later, as he absently lifted his hand to his
chest, he suddenly realized that neither of the pillowcases had even
fallen to the floor. To his great surprise, Tarik discovered he now
possessed for real the small pair of young maiden's breasts he'd only
been pretending to have.
All of a sudden, his hand shot down to examine his crotch. And, just
as when he discovered his new breasts, he quickly realized why neither
girl had screamed when they'd removed the skirt and panties he'd been
wearing. What he'd been assuming they would have found so frightening
down there was no longer down there; his hand had instead found a
woman's moist slit.
Pirae and Kemah helped him bathe without further comment. As soon as
they'd finished, they helped him select a clean gown of soft silk from
among the several hanging in the room's closet. And when the girls
began brushing the snarls and tangles out of his hair, he realized
that the wig he'd been wearing had somehow also become his own hair.
Once the girls were satisfied with their charge's hair, they applied
makeup sparsely, but expertly, to his face and seemed exceptionally
pleased with themselves once they had finished.
"I think our master will be pleased with you, my lady," beamed Pirae.
"As do I," grinned Kemah. "He will be quite pleased, mistress."
Tarik stared at his reflection in the mirror as soon as the servant
girls had left the room. He was totally stunned; what he was seeing
was impossible. How could something like this have happened to him?
He remembered looking more like a girl once Aldrath had finished with
him, but now he appeared even more female than before. His bodily
shape had quite noticeably become more rounded and feminine than it
had ever been before. And even if his breasts might not be all that
large, they were still most definitely female breasts. Given the low
cut of the gown he now wore, he had clearly visible, although
fortunately quite small, cleavage. And even worse, he could feel his
new breasts rubbing against the fabric of the gown as they pushed out
its bodice.
What could have possibly happened that had caused him to be so
transformed?
How had it happened?
Even more importantly, when had it had happened?
But if he'd been somehow transformed to fit the maiden's role he'd
been playing, had the same kind of transformation also affected
Aldrath? They'd been disguised as a mother and her young daughter;
were they now physically mother and daughter as well?
***
As Tarik stared at his reflection in disbelief, there was suddenly a
loud knocking on his door.
"Who is it?" he answered quietly.
Although no one acknowledged his question, the door suddenly swung
open. As Tarik watched with surprise, Fomulus strode inside pulling
an obviously frightened, considerably buxom, and quite attractive
young woman behind him. "She'll be staying here with you for now,"
he grinned. "I sincerely hope you won't mind sharing your room with
someone like her, Prince Tarik."
Tarik stared back at him, obviously taken completely by surprise that
Fomulus knew who he really was.
The pretty girl Fomulus had brought with him quietly sat down on the
foot of the large bed. Moments later, she just as quietly curled up
into a fetal position. Tarik assumed the girl was suffering from some
kind of shock - probably a direct result of something that asshole
Fomulus had done to her.
Fomulus smiled at his guest. "Is there something wrong, Prince Tarik?
Or, given your current fair form and circumstances, would you rather I
called you Princess Tarik from now on?"
"How did you know who I was?"
Fomulus smiled back. "I knew you were here as soon as you and your
'mother' first stepped foot onto my lands. Your disguises were even
reasonably passable - not many would have ever recognized the son of
Geslarc as the young and quite pretty maiden who arrived earlier."
His smile grew wider. "I wonder what those guards at the bridge
would say if they knew they'd been flirting with and lusting after a
young boy earlier?" Fomulus looked over Tarik's altered form. "But
I think this shape is much better. I suppose you've probably guessed
that I've sent a messenger to your Uncle Sterak. Although I suspect
he'll assume I've lost my mind once he's informed I've asked him for
his lovely young niece's hand in marriage."
Tarik stared at Fomulus, unwilling to believe anything of what he'd
just heard. "How did you do this to me?"
"Doing things like this to anyone is really quite simple when you
know how, my dear." smirked Fomulus. "While we were in my audience
hall earlier, I kissed the hands of my two lovely 'female' visitors.
As I did, it was a very simple matter to alter your respective
realities into perfect outward conformance with your former
disguises."
"But there's no way you could have done something like that," objected
Tarik. "You've never been known as a sorcerer."
"Many things can change in a long lifetime," he smiled. "But tell me,
do you remember how beautiful your mother Jastira was? I've been
thinking her only daughter should be just as beautiful. Don't you
think so too, Princess?"
As Fomulus absently passed one of his hands in Tarik's general
direction, Tarik suddenly began feeling even stranger then he already
was. He felt his small maidenly breasts begin swelling and his
already thinned waist pulling in even thinner. He felt his newly long
hair rapidly grow out several additional inches. And then he cringed
as he felt every muscle and bone of his face begin a swift and,
fortunately for him, painless rearrangement.
"Now I certainly think that's a far superior look for you," smiled
Fomulus, as Tarik looked up at him. "I'm sure you'll also appreciate
the improvements I've made in your appearance, my sweet Princess."
Tarik turned towards the mirror again and stared at his reflection in
stunned disbelief. "Impossible," he muttered in a higher and more
feminine tone of voice. Even if he didn't want to believe what his
own eyes were showing him, Tarik's new appearance reminded him of the
portrait - painted on her eighteenth birthday - of his mother Jastira.
"What have you done to me, Fomulus?" he asked, surprised by the still
softer and more feminine sound of his voice.
"I've merely made you your mother's daughter," smiled Fomulus. "And
now that you're of marrying age, you'll make me a fine wife."
"I'm never going to marry you," snapped Tarik angrily.
"Have it your own way, my Princess. I'm quite sure your Uncle Sterak
will have a few, possibly interesting, ideas of his own once he sees
how pretty you've become."
Tarik gasped. The mere thought that his own uncle might possibly want
to marry him or, even far worse, bed him was simply appalling. He
felt as if he were going to puke.
"I think I shall take my leave of you for the moment, Princess. You
now have much with which you must adjust. And you also have much to
consider before your uncle arrives." As Fomulus turned to leave, the
frightened young girl he'd brought with him scrambled quickly from the
bed and onto her feet. "Sit down, girl!" he commanded. "You'll be
staying right here for now."
"Yes, master. Whatever you wish, I will do," she replied quickly, but
nervously. As she sat back down on the bed silently, she carefully
watched Fomulus' every move like a hawk until he finally left the
room.
"What am I supposed to do with you?" asked Tarik.
"I don't know, mistress," replied the girl sullenly. "The master
said I was to stay here with you." Suddenly, the girl smiled, then
slowly ran her tongue lightly across the top of her bottom lip. "I
suppose we could make love for a few hours. If its pleasurable, it
should make the time pass very quickly. I think you're really
pretty."
Tarik stared at the girl, then slowly shook his head. "Not right now,
girl." But when he looked at the girl more closely, she strangely
seemed quite familiar to him. He couldn't remember having met her
before - she definitely wasn't one of those girls his father had kept
throwing into his bed with him - but no man could have ever forgotten
meeting someone who looked as good as she did. "What should I call
you? It seems so insulting to simply call you 'girl' as Fomulus did."
"But Fomulus is my lord and master. It is his right to call me
whatever he desires," said the girl. "But, I do have my own name.
If you wish, you may call me Aldrea instead."
"Aldrea?" Tarik whispered, as he stared at the girl once again.
Without knowing how he knew - there was really no way he could - he
suddenly knew why this young girl Aldrea had seemed so familiar.
"Aldrath?" he asked her. "Is that really you?"
"Al...Dr...Ath," repeated the girl slowly. Suddenly, she seemed very
confused. Even as she became aroused while her hands began gently
caressed her breasts, she appeared as if she were trying to remember
something important.
"Aldrath," she repeated the name with more confidence. Suddenly,
knowledgeable eyes flashed back at Tarik. "Don't really know... How
long... Can't fight... Fomulus... Betrayal... I wasn't... You
weren't..."
Very obviously Aldrath was struggling to collect his thoughts and
concentrate on whatever he was attempting to tell Tarik. But just
as obviously, his father's former advisor seemed to be losing ground.
"Your uncle... Marriage... King's daughter... Legitimize claim."
Suddenly Aldrea's hand shot up to the side of her head. She paled
momentarily, then shook her head. As she looked up into Tarik's
eyes, a wide grin spread quickly across her face. "So, do you wanna
fuck or not?"
Tarik looked at Aldrea - she was now more Aldrea than Aldrath. But
even if he could figure out what she'd been trying to tell him, could
he really believe anything she'd said. Even though it appeared
Aldrath had been struggling in a vain attempt to tell him something,
Fomulus had still been the one that brought this girl to him. And if
Fomulus had somewhere and somehow learned enough sorcery to re-make
them physically into girls, as well as make Aldrath think and behave
as if he really were one, then he certainly could make this girl say
whatever he wanted him to hear.
Tarik looked at Aldrea again. Regardless of anything else, she had
still been transformed into a remarkably attractive girl. As he felt
his attraction for her growing, Tarik leaned over and impulsively
kissed her.
Aldrea quickly responded.
"What the hell," muttered Tarik, as he allowed himself to be pulled
down onto the bed atop her.
***
When Tarik, in his newly enhanced female form into which Fomulus had
so easily ensorcelled him, awoke early the next morning, he felt
Aldrea still lying closely beside him. Her head rested comfortably
in the crook of his arm, even as her long slender arm stretched
across his body just below his own now rather large female breasts.
Tarik felt somewhat guilty about what he'd been doing most of the
night with his father's former advisor, but she'd obviously enjoyed
herself thoroughly. Even though it had been a little awkward at
first, he had also enjoyed himself - in fact, he'd enjoyed being
with her a great deal.
As he finally opened his eyes, he saw Aldrea smiling at him.
"Aldrath? Are you in there?" he asked her. A surge of intelligence
glowed momentarily behind her eyes, but it faded quickly. "Aldrath?"
he asked again, but there was no longer any trace of Aldrath in her
eyes.
"I love you, Tarik," she whispered sensually. "Do you love me?"
Tarik was surprised by her admission of love. He didn't know what to
say to her. But given her current state of mind, telling her what she
wanted to hear would likely do less harm than telling her anything
else. "Of course I love you, Aldrea."
Aldrea smiled at him warmly. Tarik found he liked the way she smiled
at him. Her simple smile made him feel tingly all over; her smile
made his nipples stiffen. "And you'll always love me? Won't you,
Tarik?" she asked.
"Of course, I'll always love you." He moaned softly, as Aldrea
lightly caressed one of his ample breasts.
"Always and forever?" she asked. "No matter what?"
"Always and forever," he replied. "No matter what."
"Do you swear it, Tarik?"
"On my very life, Aldrea. I swear I'll love you always and forever."
Aldrea, obviously pleased with what he'd told her, smiled at him, then
curled up close to him. Tarik loved pleasing Aldrea, since pleasing
her made her smile and he enjoyed having her smile at him.
Aldrea then softly kissed his lips. Tarik loved having her kiss him
even more than he enjoyed seeing her smile. And even though he still
felt somewhat guilty about what he and Aldrea had been doing with each
other the previous evening, they were soon, with even far greater
passions between them, back at it once again.
***
Whether it was minutes, hours, or perhaps even days later Tarik
neither knew nor cared. Just being with Aldrea simply made the
passage of time seem totally irrelevant. But all of a sudden, the
door of his room was once again flung open, waking Aldrea with a
start. As Tarik looked up, he wasn't overly surprised at seeing the
smirking Fomulus standing in the doorway.
"Are you having fun, Princess?" he smugly asked Tarik. "And how about
you, girl?" he asked Aldrea. "I'll bet your old life wasn't nearly as
exciting or anywhere near as interesting as this one is proving to
be."
Aldrea stared blankly at her master. She clearly didn't understand
what he was saying to her.
"What did you do to Aldrath?"
Fomulus began grinning. "So you think you've figured it all out,
have you? It's a real shame you couldn't just ask her." His smirky
grin continued growing wider. "Can you believe it? That old fool
wanted to cut a deal with me to allow you both safely across the
river." He shook his head slowly. "For such an intelligent man,
that wasn't a very smart thing for him to do, you know. You're far
more valuable to me right where you are, Princess. And your value
will just continue increasing the longer you stay here with me."
"But he doesn't remember who he is."
"Don't be silly," replied Fomulus. "She very definitely remembers who
she is." He turned to Aldrea. "Tell him who you are girl."
"I am Aldrea, of course," she told Tarik, fear of her master showing
clearly in her eyes.
"See, I told you she knew who she was, Tarik," smirked Fomulus. "She
is Aldrea now, just as she has always been. Aldrath was nothing more
than a fool for whom I had no further use. Our pretty Aldrea may be
a very foolish little girl most of the time, but she can certainly be
quite useful, as I'm sure you'll agree." He smiled at Aldrea. "I
think she'll be the perfect plaything for your Uncle Sterak, once he
finally arrives to discuss our impending marriage plans."
"I'm not about to marry someone like you," snapped Tarik.
"So you said before, but of course you will marry me, Princess,"
replied Fomulus smugly. "Our wedding will serve to legitimize my
claim to the throne recently left vacant by your late, if not overly
lamented, father. Although I'm sure Sterak will eventually think of
marriage to you himself once I've more suitably altered reality
around you, my dear."
"What the hell are you talking about, Fomulus?" asked Tarik nervously.
"You can't make me do anything I don't want to do."
"Oh, really?" Fomulus simply smiled at Tarik, before staring deeply
into his eyes. "Tell me the names of your parents."
Tarik gave him a look of bewilderment in return. "But you already
know the names of my parents."
"Then just humor me, my dear. Tell me their names anyway," replied
Fomulus. "Just remember you can never lie to me! If you even try to
speak falsely, Tarik, I'll know it immediately and you'll be quickly
punished."
Tarik wondered game what Fomulus might be up to now. But whatever it
was, he was certain it would probably be something only of benefit to
Fomulus. But he also knew it made no logical sense trying to lie to
Fomulus about something he already knew. "My parents were King
Geslarc and Queen Jastira."
"Very good. That wasn't to difficult to answer, was it now?" said
Fomulus. "I'll make this next one a little harder. Do you more
closely resemble in appearance your father or your mother?"
Tarik began laughing. It was another simple question for which
Fomulus already knew the answer. Ever since he'd been a small boy,
everyone had always told Tarik that he bore an uncanny resemblance to
his father. But, as he was about to give Fomulus his answer, he
suddenly recalled seeing his altered reflection in the mirror. "My
mother, of course," he replied confidently, knowing he shouldn't lie
to Fomulus.
"How old are you?"
"That's an even easier question," answered Tarik. Although he had
fully intended to tell Fomulus he'd turn fifteen next week, his mind
suddenly became focused on his reflection again. Still knowing he was
unable to tell Fomulus a lie, he looked him squarely in the eye and
replied, "For the rest of this week I'm eighteen, but next week I'll
have my nineteenth birthday."
Fomulus grinned again, before asking his next question. "Aside from
those of us in this room, are you considered male or female?"
Tarik knew he was undeniably male despite his current feminine
appearance. But the way Fomulus had phrased his question required
an answer, not of what he knew to be true, but of what others, outside
this room, thought of him. Once again, his reflected image popped
into his mind. Although he knew what everyone else thought about him
was completely wrong, he still answered the question as truthfully as
he could. "As you're well aware, Fomulus," he sneered, "Outside this
room everyone considers me female."
"An excellent answer," replied Fomulus. "I have just one remaining
question... for now. What is your true name and by what title are
others to address you as?"
Tarik frowned at Fomulus. His thoughts suddenly turned fuzzy,
drifting about haphazardly in his mind. Unlike his other questions,
Tarik struggled to find his answers to these new ones asked by
Fomulus. And yet, since nearly everyone else thought him a female,
his title, as the King's son, was perfectly obvious. But his name...
why was he suddenly having so much trouble remembering his own name?
And then, all of a sudden, he smiled, having finally remembered the
name his parents had given him. "As if you didn't already know,
Fomulus... My name is Tarina ... And I am to be addressed as
Princess Tarina."
Fomulus smiled at Tarina - it had once again been so very easy.
"We're finished... for now. But since you have answered all of my
questions so truthfully, Tarina, you may now resume whatever it was
you were doing with this girl before I entered the room." Fomulus
turned to exit the room, but just before he left, he added, "But you
shall continue to adjust, Princess Tarina."
Tarina stared after him, wondering what Fomulus had really thought he
was accomplishing. He'd said he would alter his reality, but that was
an absolutely absurd notion, even for him. As far as Tarina could
tell, nothing about him had changed in spite of that really strange
behavior from Fomulus. After all, he was still himself; he hadn't
changed a bit. He was still Princess Tarina, eighteen-year-old son
of King Geslarc and Queen Jastira. He still looked exactly like his
mother when she'd been a girl his age. And he was still trying to
escape from the wicked uncle who'd killed his father.
"Are you all right, Tarina?" asked Aldrea with concern.
"Of course I am, Aldrea. I was just thinking."
As Aldrea smiled at him again, his every other thought swiftly melted
away. "The master said we could do what we'd been doing before he
came." Her smile grew bolder. "Do you want to?" she asked hopefully.
"I know I do."
As Tarina looked back at her, he winked at her. "You know I always
will, Aldrea." Pulling her to him, he kissed her eager lips. And
then the two of them fell back onto his bed.
***
When Tarina awoke, he was surprised Aldrea wasn't with him. Quickly
realizing he missed having her with him, he wondered where she'd
gone. Or had Fomulus come back while he was asleep and taken her
somewhere?
After standing up, he wandered over to the mirror. As he looked at
himself, he couldn't keep from smiling. "You might be just another
man, Princess Tarina, but you sure look like one hell of a gorgeous
woman this morning." As he cupped one of his breasts, then gently
caressed himself, he was suddenly glad he was over eighteen. If he'd
had any of these kinds of thoughts he was currently thinking about
himself when he'd still been a child, he would have definitely had a
big time punishment coming his way.
There was a knock on his door.
After waiting for several moments to see if Fomulus would once again
fling open his door, he answered simply, "Enter."
But after his door slowly swung open, the smiling Pirae and Kemah
entered his room.
"How are you today, Princess Tarina?"
"I'm just fine, Pirae," replied Tarina. "I can't remember when I ever
felt better in my whole life."
"Lord Fomulus has told us we must help you dress, Princess," said
Kemah.
Tarina looked puzzled. "Why?" he asked curiously.
"Your Uncle Sterak has arrived," said Pirae.
"And even now they're discussing your marriage to our Lord Fomulus."
"Is he deaf or something? I told him last night I would never marry
him," objected Tarina.
"Our Lord Fomulus can be a very stubborn man, Princess," said Kemah.
"Whenever he wants something, he usually gets it."
"Even if she doesn't want him."
"Some say he does business with demons, my lady."
"And there are others who say he trucks with a most evil and immortal
wizard, Princess."
"But from what I've seen and heard of him so far, Princess, your Uncle
Sterak also appears to be quite stubborn as well."
"But I thought I heard him say something about marrying you himself."
"Can he do that? That just doesn't sound right at all."
Tarina sighed. "He can't. It isn't. And I'm not. I'm not about do
something as incredibly stupid as marrying my Uncle Sterak." He shook
his head with disgust, feeling his long hair swish across his back.
Oh shit, swore the Princess to himself. Just what the hell is the
matter with all these men? All of a sudden every one of them wants
to marry me. With this exceptionally great body of mine, it is
certainly understandable. But why would any of them even consider
marrying another man?
And then he had a few other worrisome thoughts.
Where had they taken his Aldrea?
And why?
***
Tarina smiled at his image reflected by the mirror. The two servant
girls Pirae and Kemah had done another marvelous job helping him get
dressed. Although they'd encouraged him to dress conservatively for
his uncle and their lord, he'd held out for one of the shorter skirts
that would show off his long slender legs and the peasant blouse with
the plunging neckline that revealed his bountiful cleavage.
As he walked towards the room where his uncle and Fomulus were
discussing wedding plans, he marveled at the fluidity with which his
body now moved. Just walking made him feel really incredible now.
His ass swaying back and forth, while his breasts jiggled up and down,
made him feel extremely sexy. When he noticed a couple of the young
male pages watching him while trying to pretend they weren't, he
smiled. Young boys can be so silly sometimes he thought, forgetting
for that one fleeting moment exactly who he really was.
As he neared the door where the meeting was taking place, he heard
raised voices coming from inside. Obviously his uncle and Fomulus
were arguing about something. Although he should have known better,
he wondered what they could be arguing about as he stopped to listen
at the door.
"And I'm telling you again Sterak, I'm going to marry your pretty
niece Tarina."
"So you've said again and again," snarled Sterak. "But as I've just
as often told you, Fomulus, you will never marry my young niece. I
won't allow it."
"You won't allow it?" Fomulus began to laugh evilly. "Who said you
had a choice in this matter, Sterak?"
"I'm the King now; Tarina is my niece. With her father gone, I'm the
one totally responsible for her. She'll marry whom I allow her to
marry, when I allow her to marry. I can guarantee you this, Fomulus,
the man she finally marries will never be you." Suddenly Sterak began
smiling. "You know, I've just decided I'll marry Tarina myself. It's
an absolutely brilliant idea. It will quiet those who think I'm not
a worthy enough successor to my brother. With his daughter Princess
Tarina as my beautiful queen, they will no longer be able to complain
about me."
"She will never marry you, Sterak," snarled Fomulus. "I'll see to
that."
"Is that some kind of threat, little man?" asked Sterak. "Let me
remind you again that I'm the King now," smiled Sterak viciously.
"I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want to do it. And there's
absolutely nothing you can do about that." His smile widened. "Just
keep on objecting, Fomulus. I've a vacant pike in my new courtyard -
I thought I was saving it for someone, but I seem to have forgotten
for whom - on which to hang your miserable head."
"We'll see about that," muttered Fomulus.
But Tarina had finally heard enough of their infantile and posturing
crap. As she flung open the door and stormed inside, she shouted,
"Would you two idiots quit arguing about who's going to marry me! I'm
not about to marry either one of you imbecilic asinine assholes!"
Both of them stared at him with great surprise; neither of them was
used to being spoken to that way by anyone, especially some whelp of
a girl.
Tarina was both surprised and greatly relieved to see Aldrea sitting,
even if uncomfortably, on his uncle's lap. However, the way his uncle
kept tweaking his Aldrea's bared nipples was greatly annoying. Aldrea
smiled at Tarina as soon as she saw him in the small hand mirror she
clasped tightly in her hand.
"Just what do you think you're doing, Tarina?" asked his uncle in
annoyance. "Fomulus and I are here today deciding your future. You
have no say in any of this."
Tarina looked at his uncle. It had only been a few days since he'd
last seen him, but somehow he looked different than he how he
remembered him. All of a sudden, Tarina realized what was different
now about his uncle. His thick and brushy full beard was gone. His
face appeared to be as smooth as, if not even smoother, a newborn
baby's bottom. His thinning short gray hair had also become shiny and
lustrous shoulder-length locks blacker than the blackest coal he'd
ever seen.
Tarina turned and looked at Fomulus, who was sporting a wicked grin.
Obviously, he must be changing reality again. And as he'd done with
Aldrath, Fomulus was changing his uncle's reality to make Sterak young
and female. And his uncle - or should he start considering him his
aunt - was totally unaware he was being in any way altered.
As Tarina returned his gaze to Sterak, he watched his uncle's waist
thin noticeably, even as two small nubs appeared under his shirt. But
the new twin nubs didn't stay small very long, his breasts swiftly
swelling to a size even larger than Aldrea's.
A couple of things could obviously be said about Fomulus - he was
fairly consistent in the way he dealt with any males he considered
troublesome. And he loved his women with exceptionally large boobs.
"What are you staring at, Tarina?" snapped Sterak, as his voice
cracked for a moment, before settling into a soft sexy soprano. As he
stood up, he revealed one hell of a sultry feminine frame. And when
he slid his hands onto his jutting hips, his already better than ample
sized breasts just seemed that much more ample. "I don't want to have
to ask you again, Tarina," he purred. "What are you staring at?"
Tarina looked at the smirking Fomulus. "He doesn't even know he's
been changed into a woman. Does he?"
"Of course not, Princess. I'm not as stupid as some people think, you
know," replied Fomulus. "It's just one of the bigger advantages of
controlling reality. I mean, would you really like to be around a
madman like your Uncle Sterak, when he finds out he now has a fabulous
body that would make the finest examples of female pulchritude ever
to grace Doxella's brothel seem more like adolescent boys than full
grown women?"
"I guess I can see your point, Fomulus," admitted Tarina. "But
somehow, despite all his earlier bluster, I just can't picture him
hurting anybody looking like such an incredible sexpot."
"I'm still waiting for your answer," said Sterak, as he began tapping
his more dainty toes on the floor. And even his newly slender arms
were carefully folded beneath his large firm breasts.
"I suppose we could see what would happen," smiled Fomulus. "It might
even prove humorous."
Suddenly, the buxom Sterak began to frown. He grabbed a handful of
his silky black hair. "Oww!" he yelled as he yanked it. His eyes
went wide with surprise, when his other hand settled on one of his
large breasts. "What the hell is this?" he roared angrily, even
though his voice still sounded incredibly sensual and sexy. As he
absently began fondling himself, he stared questioningly at Fomulus.
"What the hell have you done to me, Fomulus?" he whispered, as a low
moan of pleasure escaped his lips.
Fomulus merely smiled back at him. "So you've figured it all out for
yourself already. I'm really surprised, Sterak. Everyone I've ever
known has always told me you weren't overly bright."
Unexpectedly, one of the guards from the bridge that had given Tarina
such a hard time entered the room. He shook his head, obviously
confused why he'd come here without being summoned by Fomulus.
"What's the hell's he doing here?" asked Sterak, slowly shaking his
head and suddenly wondering why the guard - even if he were kind of
cute for a man - kept looking at him the way he was. "We aren't
finished yet, Fomulus."
"Actually, we are finished, my dear," he smiled wickedly at Sterak.
"But for some strange reason, I seem to have forgotten your name.
Would you mind terribly telling me your name once again, sweet
cheeks?"
Beside himself with rage, Sterak glared angrily at Fomulus. "You'll
pay with your life for this vile indignity - I guarantee it - Fomulus.
As sure as my name's Serrani, you'd better believe you'll pay for
trying to make a fool of me."
"I just might pay a great deal for something else you have to offer
me, my dear." As Fomulus turned to the guard, he asked with a grin,
"Have you finally remembered why you're here, young man?"
After shaking his head, the guard quickly returned his lordship's
smile. "Yes, my lord," he answered swiftly. "For my unit's excellent
service to your lordship, you've most thoughtfully arranged with
Madame Doxella our use of this whore Serrani for the rest of the week
as a reward."
"You've done what?" screamed Serrani. "You filthy and treacherous
scum sucking pig!" swore Serrani at Fomulus in a manner that still
sounded incredibly sultry and unbelievably sexy.
"You don't need to worry about offending me, my dear Serrani," grinned
Fomulus. "Although you really don't need to be very intelligent to be
an exceptionally good whore, you know. I'm sure you would have found
being too intelligent just got in the way of having all the fun you'll
want to have from now on."
Fomulus continued smiling, as Tarina gasped. As if Serrani had been
suddenly struck on the head, his former uncle wobbled on her feet. As
her hand shot to her forehead, even Tarina could see the intelligence
behind the eyes of Serrani quickly fading. After letting her hand
fall to her side, Serrani stared at the young soldier for a moment,
before beginning to giggle like some lovesick adolescent girl.
"I see it will also be necessary to loosen up that repressed little
libido of yours several more notches."
As Serrani continued staring at the soldier, her gaze suddenly turned
hungry and her smile widened. "Is that an army surplus pickaxe in
your pants, soldier boy?" she purred. "Or are you, just as you should
be, simply overjoyed to see me?"
The soldier stood - all he could do was stare at her - dumbfounded.
"Never mind answering the question, soldier boy," she grinned, her
hunger for him increasingly steadily. "Let's go find us some nice
place where we can fuck for a while." Without waiting for a reply
from her obviously shy young man, Serrani, once Tarina's uncle but
now a classy, even if high-priced, strumpet, led the bewildered
soldier away from the hall heading for who knew where.
"You were absolutely right, Princess. That certainly was an awful lot
of fun," grinned Fomulus. "I can't wait to do it again."
Tarina glared at him. "Then you better go ahead and get it over with
you lecherous old pervert. Becoming a wanton whore has never been
high on the list of things I'd like to do with the rest of my life,
but it would still be infinitely superior to the horrible life of
being your wife."
Fomulus was stunned by her vehemence. "But you must marry me, Tarina.
How else, other than by marrying you, my beautiful Princess, could I
ever claim the throne and become King."
"You'd be a horrid King, Fomulus," stated Tarina. "Whenever people
displeased you, you'd just change then into someone or something
else that would please you."
"That's so true, my dear," replied Fomulus wistfully. "But I suppose
that's just going to be one of those little crosses in life I'll have
to learn to bear. I'll just alter your reality again; I'll make you
want to be my wife."
"But you can't do that to her," came a small frightened voice from
out of the blue.
Fomulus quickly turned and scowled at Aldrea. "Of course I can,
foolish little girl. I have the power. I can do whatever I want,
whenever I want to do it," he snarled. "And, since my Tarina won't
have any further need of you after we're married, I'll use you to
prove my point to both of you."
"Leave her alone, Fomulus," objected Tarina. "If you leave her alone,
I'll marry you without any more objections."
"It's too late to try getting on my good side now. You're going to
marry me anyway, Princess." He turned back to Aldrea, who was still
tightly clutching her small hand mirror. As Fomulus began grinning,
Aldrea suddenly appeared to be little more than a frightened little
girl. "Do you know what I think will be just perfect for you, girl?
You should become Serrani's identical twin sister."
"No!" screamed Tarina. "You can't do that to Aldrea!"
Aldrea cringed as she heard Fomulus' plan. As she lifted her arms
in an attempt to protect herself, Fomulus grinned wickedly at her less
than futile gesture. Ever since he'd gained his new powers, he'd
enjoyed toying with people this way. And this girl would quickly
come to love the brand new life of a whore she was about to be given.
But no sooner had Fomulus done whatever it was he'd been doing to
alter reality, his wide smirking grin abruptly disappeared. "What!
Something's gone wrong!" he exclaimed, his voice cracking. "What in
the seven hells is going on here?" he asked, his voice having swiftly
settled into a sultry soprano.
As Aldrea and Tarina watched in surprised silence, Fomulus began to
change. After he'd shrunk several inches, his waist had pulled in.
Small twin nubs appeared under his shirt, which then quickly ballooned
into full and firm, quite large, women's breasts. And finally his
hair spurted out several inches as it turned coal black.
Even as the newly transformed Fomulus stood before them slowly shaking
his head in disbelief, they could see his intelligence behind the new
girl's eyes rapidly waning, while being, quite obviously, replaced
with far more lustful thoughts and desires. "Have either of you seen
my twin sister?" she who had once been Fomulus asked, her voice
reeking of sensuality and sexual desire. "We were sent here as the
entertainment for a party in the soldiers' barracks," she grinned.
"Who are you?" asked Tarina.
The new girl simply giggled, while at the same time giving Tarina a
puzzled look. "I'm Farenni, of course. I'm Serrani's identical twin
sister - couldn't you tell?" She began giggling again. "My sister is
supposed to be here already. Would you go find your master and tell
him I've also arrived?"
But before either of them could move, the door into the meeting hall
swung open again. Another of those soldiers Tarina had encountered at
the bridge entered, looking around confused.
Farenni grinned as soon as she saw him. "I really hope they're all as
cute as you here," she said, her grin widening. "But you know
something, my pretty soldier boy, we don't really need to go find my
sister right away." She smiled as she swayed sexily over to him. "I
think you're really cute, you know. So why don't we go off somewhere
alone where we can fuck for a couple of hours first?"
Tarina and Aldrea could only stare in stunned silence as Farenni led
a very surprised, although suddenly extremely cooperative, soldier
from the room.
"He wanted to make me over into someone else; he wanted me to be just
like your Uncle Serrani," gasped Aldrea. "But whatever he did turned
him into that girl Farenni instead. I'm really glad that happened to
him and not to me."
"But how did it happen at all?"
"Maybe it was this." Aldrea dropped the remains of her hand mirror
onto the nearby table. She'd been holding the small mirror in her
hand like a shield when Fomulus had begun doing whatever it was he'd
done. Its glass was now gone; the frame appeared partially melted.
"I suppose this must have somehow reflected whatever he'd been
intending for me back onto him." She looked towards the door where
Farenni had left with the soldier. "I'm really glad I'm still me,
Tarina," she shivered.
"I guess that could have been what happened," replied Tarina. "It
almost makes a sort of perfect sense. But, as glad as I am that
you're still you, dear Aldrea, what are we going to do next?"
"What do you mean?"
"I think we're now stuck this way we are. How can we be changed back
now that Fomulus has become Farenni?"
"Changed back?" asked Aldrea sounding puzzled. "But we still have
each other, Tarina." Aldrea smiled that smile at him. "I'll love
you just as you are... forever and ever."
Tarina smiled back at Aldrea. "I suppose you're right, Aldrea." At
times like these, he loved how good Aldrea's smile made him feel. And
maybe with my sweet Aldrea to keep me company, he thought, being this
girl I've become, and most likely will be for the rest of my life,
won't be so terrible and unbearable after all.
"Why don't we return to your room, Tarina." She leaned over, kissing
his lips with the same passion with which she'd always kissed him.
"We have plenty of time to think about whatever we want to do with the
rest of our lives, my love. But right now, I sense you're hurting and
feeling a little down." Aldrea smiled at Tarina. "And I think I know
the perfect way to make you feel all better right away."

When Tarina next woke it was still dark outside. Once again, he was
in his bed with Aldrea. After returning to his room, they'd indulged
themselves for several hours. And after such an incredible passion
filled evening, even Fomulus' unintentional alteration of his own
reality, resulting in him becoming the incredibly lusty slut Farenni,
seemed less than unimportant
But this morning, very oddly, Tarina found himself tucked away into
the crook of Aldrea's arm. Every other time he'd awakened with her,
it had been Aldrea sleeping alongside him that way. His slender arm
was also stretched out across her chest. And his fingers absently
twiddled with the hair on Aldrea's hairy muscular chest.
Abruptly, Tarina's fingers stopped moving.
Maybe he was still asleep and dreaming; Aldrea couldn't have hair on
her chest. He pinched himself; it hurt. He was awake - somehow it
must be real.
But what could have happened to Aldrea's large and lovely breasts?
How was it possible that she'd suddenly come to have a man's muscular
chest this morning?
"I was wondering when you'd awaken, my love," said a deep baritone,
very masculine, voice from beside him. "Let this room be now lit as
if in daylight."
In response to the command from the male voice, the room became as

a handsome young man gazing back at him. "Who are you?" he asked the
stranger, but very oddly, he neither felt as afraid nor as nervous as
he thought he should.
"I am Aldron, my love," he replied with a broad smile.
"Where's my Aldrea?" asked Tarina. "What have you done with her?"
"I've done nothing with her; in truth, I was Aldrea until just a few
minutes ago," he replied, as he gently caressed Tarina's breasts
exactly as Aldrea had done several times before.
"But you couldn't have been, Aldrea," protested Tarina. "You're not
even a girl; you're a young man."
"With everything you've already seen, I find it truly fascinating you
can still doubt me, my love?" He cleared his throat, his voice
shifting upwards in pitch. "Have you already forgotten, my Princess?
You told me you'd love me always and forever. No matter what," said
the man using Aldrea's voice. "Didn't you mean what you told me,
Tarina."
Tarina stared at the man who now somehow possessed Aldrea's voice.
"Aldrea?" he asked hesitantly. "Is that really you?" And yet,
although he'd asked him the question honestly, he suddenly knew
instinctively that the man in the bed beside him was actually she.
"I'd prefer you call me Aldron now, my dear Princess," he replied,
continuing his use of Aldrea's voice. "But tell me truthfully, my
love." He gazed deep
