So You've Been Transmogrified - The Inspection of Item 4774
Henry Lawrence a member of the museum faculty tapped at his clipboard with growing inpatients. The man stood at five foot ten, had white hair and was pushing 78. He was aggravated, not only because he was working late, but he was also doing grunt work. Henry had a PHD, he should be in his office writing correspondence, plotting things on a map, not taking inventory or hell working up the nerve to ask Hendly out, he didn't care that she was a sexy horse now, sexy was sexy after all. The marble was a bit off putting but after spending a bit of time with her he had grown to like it, he thought it suited her just fine. Henry felt suddenly very alone, he had lived and loved his way up and down Africa with woman and more than a few men but had never formed a real connection with any of them. Now in his waning years he suddenly felt a need for someone to need him, he had always liked Hendly and ever since her husband's death he had been working up the nerve to ask her. However his lack of youth, and fear of her rejection and briefly the fact that she was now a marble pegasus had stopped him from doing so. He shook his head and looked down at his paper dismissing anymore such thoughts for the time being, he looked and saw the next item he had to deal with.
"Item 4774, bronze bull, life size." he said out loud. The object was directly in front of him. He saw the bull was of amazing quality, the like of which he thought only ever existed in theory or legend, but this was the real deal. An item of Greek antiquity, used to torture people by locking them inside and lighting a fire underneath it. He looked at the underside and found it pristine. Maybe this one was just in fact for decoration. Examining the side however he found a hatch the seemed to prove the contrary, the latch was easy enough to open and Henry poked his head inside, no bones, no ash, no blood. Made and then never used he thought looking around the inside. The whole chest cavity was hollow, the legs seemed to be made of solid bronze and the head was as well, no air holes. The door probably wasn't airtight he thought. He pulled himself out and stood up over the bull further examining its exterior.
Minutes turned to more minutes as Henry went over every detail of the bronze sculpture. After twenty or so he felt that he had logged all the necessary information about the object. He was about to depart when he saw that he had left the hatch on its side open. He sighed at his forgetfulness, as he leaned down to properly secure it he wondered, what was it like inside. A foolish thought he told himself, something for a young man to do. The thought hit him hard as he remembered youth misspent in Africa doing things on archaeological digs that he would now have yelled at a man for. He frowned thinking well, if Hendly can go and turn herself into a sexy horse, I can climb into a fucking bull. He placed the clipboard on the floor and and stuck his head into the hollow space. He looked around and saw their was more than enough room for himself to get inside.
He stuck his shoulders though the doorway, hooked his hips in and then slid his legs inside and in a few seconds the man inside the bronze bull. He laid flat on the bottom of the bull and wondered, well now what. The idea while appealing to it was in practice just an exercise in him asserting that he was not yet some old stick in the mud, he could still do wacky things off the cuff. He looked up at the top of the bronze and sighed, he was old, he was stern, and he wasn't in the business of doing things off the cuff. His youth had been left in a number of places, and it was a fucking long shot that it was going to be found inside a bronze bull. He heard something slam and he found himself in darkness. He kicked the hatch with his foot to no avail. There's no way it could have latched over by itself, he thought trying his best to turn his body in the confined space. He felt his hand around the wall looking for the seam of the door but found none.
"What." he said out loud confused as to why the door he had entered from was now gone. He felt around the whole of the bulls interior looking for some way out but found nothing. He was starting to feel panic. the door was gone, he was trapped, would anyone find him? If he kicked and screamed, sure, but he needed to wait for someone to actually come by or else he would just tire himself out. He laid his head back on the floor of the interior and waited. He found the pitch darkness of the interior to be the most unnerving part of the whole experience. He reached out and felt the walls of the space but could not see them any longer, the smoothness of the bronze surface was impressive to him. Even today something like this would have been difficult to make and yet someone had gone through the trouble of doing so a few thousand years ago.
Henry felt something was off about himself, he could not yet direct perceive what it was it he felt a mild discomfort. He was not sitting on anything, nothing was jabbing him in the back, he didn't feel sick, just off. He moved himself around trying to figure out the source of his discomfort, the feeling was getting stronger. He heard something pop inside the chamber and he felt around looking for the source. He heard another and another and then he felt something, pressure. The popping was the buttons popping off of his pants and his jacket. His body was expanding, he heard tearing fabric and the rest of his bottom coming off forcefully as his chest ballooned outward. Henry could feel his extremities also swelling in size, his legs and arms starting to become unusable as they filled with an unseen, but very much felt substance.
He grunted and then went wide eyed as he felt his legs and rear press against the inside of the bull and then, melt into the sides. The flesh of his body began to fuse with that of the interior of the bull as his expanding body filled the empty space. His gut fused with the top of the chamber as he felt his head begin to be pushed forward towards the front of the chamber. He winced as he felt his arms fuse with the sides, going off of sensation alone only served to make the experience all the more terrifying for the man as he felt the top of his head brush against the side of the bull. He felt his head begin to get pushed into the wall almost as if it was made of a liquid rather than a solid. He blinked his eyes in the darkness as he felt his head pushed further and further into the wall as the rest of his body filled the remaining space inside the cavity. First his eyes, then his nose and finally his mouth, he tried to scream but found something pouring down his throat muffling his attempts to scream.
Henry blink one last time and found himself someplace else, it was a wide open area, all white, no sky, no ground, just white. He was alone, naked and, younger? He felt his body and found that it was as if forty years had been shaved off.
"What the hell?" Henry asked looking around for something, anything to give him even the vaguest idea of what was happening.
"So, your not exactly what I was expecting but hey i'm glad you crawled in." a voice from behind Henry said. Henry went stiff and turned his head not sure what to expect, he was still surprised. Behind him stood a figure of about 7 feet, with bovine characteristics and seemingly cast from bronze. The figure stood looking at Henry, the bronze face conveyed a curiosity as the things eyes worked there way up and down his body. His eyes were also bronze, no whites, no colored irises, just bronze indentations that he could see moving and dilating like flesh and blood would.
"Um..." Henry said looking around for something and finding nothing else but the bull.
"I realize you must be a bit confused, so here's the short version, i'm the bronze bull you crawled into, and in doing so you just fulfilled an age old curse, well... broke would be a better word I suppose." the bull went on and then looked down at the man, "Ah forgive me It's been awhile since I've talked to anyone, my name is Alekos." he said extending a hand to the smaller man who hesitantly reached forward and accepted it.
"Henry, and what's the curse exactly?" Henry asked shaking the bulls hand.
"Well Henry, to make something complicated simple, a long time ago I ran afoul of a powerful mage, and he trapped me in the form of a bronze bull and dumped me off the side of a ship. A few hundred years later I got found and got passed around and around, and well you're the first person that had the bright idea to climb inside me, something I guess that mage never thought anyone would have the inclination to do." Alekos said looking at the man with crossed arms and crossing his own.
"That didn't answer my question, what do I have to do with any of this?" Henry asked feeling a bit of concern for his well being now.
"Ah right, so I myself know a bit of magic and well, your the first soul I've been able to get my hands on." Alekos said with a somewhat apologetic look on his face.
"The hell does that mean?" Henry asked feeling a pit starting to open up in his soul.
"To explain would be harder than to just show you, so uh, look at your hand." Alekos said holding up one of his own and pointing to it. Henry did the same, looking at the palm of his hand and feeling confused for a moment before widening his eyes. His hand was a bronze duplicate of the bulls. Thick fingers, smooth bronze skin, and he could see the metal creeping further up his arm.
"What the hell is this?" Henry screamed out holding his hand with his other hand.
"Well, uh that's how it works, I merged our two bodies and well the curse was only ever designed to work on one human, so if i'm right our two bodies should be enough to displace a good chunk of the curse. Also uh I'm sorry about dragging you into this." Alekos said rubbing the back of his head seeming to Henry at least to be genuinely sorry.
"So what I'm gonna turn into a bronze bull like you?" Henry asked as he watched the bronze coloration spreading up his arm rounding his elbow, his arm becoming more toned and muscular. He watched as the coloration crested his shoulder leaving him with the arm of a power lifter, and he could not help but give it one flex. Henry was not exactly pleased with the turn of events but he had to admit the idea of him being as ripped as the bull was starting to sound appealing.
"Well, yes and no, our bodies, minds, souls are merging, soon us two will be one." Alekos Said touching two of his fingers together. Henry looked at the spreading bronze listing to the other bronze bull nodding as he processed the information, he knew that he should feel something other than calm acceptance of this but he found he could muster nothing else.
"So, what we both become someone else, an amalgamation of two people?" Henry asked as his chest was beginning to become run over with the bronze. It spread definition to his chest, swelling it with size and muscle as it over ran his hair and skin leaving him shiny and bronze. Alekos advanced now, coming closer to the changing man.
"Truthfully, i'm not sure, I've been practicing the theory behind the spell in my head for hundreds of years, but sometimes the only way to know is to see the results." Alekos said taking Henry's arm and examining it. Henry felt a sudden panting heat in his groin, he saw the large muscular bronze bull holding his own strong muscular arm and felt a deep and sudden attraction. Alekos looked up and saw the look on the changing mans face and smiled. "So, Henry, do you like what you see?" Alekos asked smiling posing for the man. Henry blushed and smiled a bit rubbing the back of his head with his unchanged hand.
"Well, I uh..." he tried to say but felt a wincing pain in his head. He held the changing hand to his head and felt some of the bronze slip form it spreading the changing to his forehead. He looked up and saw Alekos in a similar position, after a moment he felt the changes begin spreading around his face and further down his torso.
"Ah, are you, uh, ok." Henry asked wincing as he felt the mental pains flare up again.
"I'm, uh, fine, oh... you're... into men." Alekos said looking up still holding his head and wincing.
"So are you... how the hell do I know that... ah." Henry asked as he felt the pain finally started to subside. Both men blinked and then looked at each other studying the other.
"I know, every thing..." "... about you" Alekos started and Henry finished. Both of them pulled over information that was known only to the other, like and dislikes, hopes and fear, love and loss, pain and pleasure. Henry's face started to morph as the bronze that his hand deposited there grew into a large enough mass to cover half of it. A strange looking liquid proto muzzle remained half formed on his face as the rest of the bronze absorbed his hair leaving him with nothing but a shiny head and a set of horns sharp to the touch. The rest of his face began to fill in and a muzzle pushed out properly from the mass of unformed bronze. Henry opened his new maw as wide as he could and took in a deep breath and held his changed hand to his face.
"Wow, you look just like me." Alekos said leaning in and examine the changing bulls face. Henry looked over up at the bull directly into his strange but attractive eyes and saw a lustful smile. "Now, if I recall, you were interested in me." Alekos said standing back up and grinning.
"Oh, right, oh, your, you like..." Henry felt embarrassed to have access to the deep recesses of another man's mind, and even more so knowing that the other bull had similar access to his. Alekos held a finger up to Henry's mouth and made a shushing sound. Before lowering his finger and moving in with his mouth. Henry felt the larger bull's tongue in his mouth and reciprocated, both bulls worked the other slowly, letting the warm feeling well up inside them. Both of them made slight groaning noises as there bodies became more and more in sync with the other. There groans where becoming ever slightly more audible with each passing motion undertaken by the other. Alekos broke off the embrace and looked down at the now six foot Henry, totally bronze and bovine from the waist up.
Alekos licked his lips and watch as the bronze descended down the mans hips covering his hard dick and balls. He watched the length of the changing bull grow, thickening, lengthening oozing a bronze colored liquid he knew to be pre. He saw the two swollen orbs grow and grow in their sack swelling out to the size baseballs. Alekos looked at the other almost complete bull and saw the pained look of lust on his face, the want of relief, of climax, to feel the rush of orgasm in his new form. Alekos smiled to the other man and lowered himself down his body. He got on his knees in time to see the bronze over take Henry's knees. He took the other bulls shaft into his mouth licking the tip, caressing it with his tongue and caused more of the bronze color to ooze from it, it tasted like metal, and felt cool to his tongue but he could tell the other male was loving it. He could feel the trembling cock in his mouth demanding that he tack more of it, use more of it. Alekos turned his gaze down to the changing feet and saw the two hooves there now full complete and he stopped.
Alekos brought himself back up to a standing position. Henry leaned into the other bull now a carbon copy of Alekos. The newly formed bull looked up at the other with a pained and needy look. He would have asked why he had stopped but Henry already knew. Henry licked his lips took a deep breath and patted the other male on the chest. "Your a bottom right?" Henry asked smiling. Alekos smiled right back now drawing on Henry mind to know what the word meant, he was correct in his assumption.
"That's right, and judging by that look on your face you'd like a bit of my bottom, right?" Alekos asked rubbing the thick arm of the other man.
"Bend over." Henry said feeling a sexy confidence welling up inside himself. He licked his lips and watched as the bronze bull in front of him turned around and bent over presenting him his firm well toned ass plump and shiny. Henry walked up to it inspecting the object, rubbing his thick hand over its smooth surface before taking the hand and using it to guide his dick into Alekos. He heard and felt the bull grunt and then tremble as he inserted the tip and then his length into him. There linked mind causing a sort of feedback loop causing the there already lustful and horny thoughts to grow more and more powerful over there more rational minds. The two bulls took a second to breath and then Henry went wild, bucking and thrusting into the other bull until he fell forward bracing himself against the ground. He could feel the thoughts of Henry leaching into his own mind in real time, the wild passion lust he felt and that Henry felt. Alekos drooled as his mind was blanked with each thrust and felt more and more like Henry was the one in control of his body. Henry felt much the same way but reversed, he could feel Alekos's want of his cock in his ass his want for Henry to thrust deeper, faster and harder. He felt his body doing more of what Alekos wanted, more and more like Alekos, the hundreds of years of experience growing more and more accessible to the younger bull.
Alekos reached his hand around to try and stroke his own cock in an effort the relieve some of the lust to no avail, it only served to make the two more focused with the fucking. Animalistic sounds escaped there lips as he felt the thrusts Henry was making into him grow in power but lose their direction. The sheer power of his cock the only real necessity in there current position. Then both of them felt it, the growing onset of climax. Both their minds feeling the other feel the other feel the others climax in an unending feedback loop of pleasure that combined both of their minds until the only thing both the bulls could feel was the blinding rush of pleasure and lust as the two minds properly merged. Both cried out in a passion and loud moo and then there was blackness.
The bull blinked and found itself sitting with its dick in its hand. It looked down and saw the last bits of bronze colored cum drip from the tip. There were thousands of thoughts running through its mind. It held a hand to its head and tried to think, was it Henry, or Alekos. Two voices inside its head answered, yes, two voices answered no. It stood up and exposed itself, the two voices thought they looked exactly like they had in wherever they had been before. The bull flexed its arms looking at its bronze pecs as they reflected the light in the room. Alekos and Henry had were one, there two minds becoming the two halves of the creatures brain. They worked in tandem but the argument felt strange.
"What do we call ourselves?" Alekos asked Henry.
"Flip a coin?" Henry suggested. The bull looked around and found no coins.
"Worry about it later." Alekos suggested.
"Hey what the fuck was all that... noise?" a female voice asked and then stopped as it entered the room. The bull looked at the equine visage of beauty that was Doctor Hendly. "Oh for fucks sake, Henry is that you?" Hendly asked looking at the bull and remembering who was supposed to be down here. The bull looked at her trying to form words but having difficulties with the competing voices in its head.
"We are Henry, we are Alekos." it finally said walking forward toward the now slightly unnerved Hendly.
"What are we doing?" Alekos asked Henry.
"Something impulsive."Henry told Alekos.
"Step back." Hendly said stretching out and arm and pointing. The bull took the arm and got on one knee taking the hand gently and kissing the top of it. Hendly stopped and suddenly felt very weird but also a bit safer, than before. "Uh..." was all she could manage to say.
"We would like to ask you on a date, we have been meaning to for a while, would you accept?" the bull asked looking up and smiling warmly at the pegasus.
"Oh... well, um, just to be clear that is you Henry, right?" she asked feeling a bit flustered.
"We are Henry, we are Alekos, we are also having issues forming sentences."
