Teresa waved her wand in front of her with one hand while she thrust her free hand forward. A fireball appeared in her open palm and flew in front of her to a green gooish creature. As the fireball hit the creature, the massive gooey beast melted onto the ground into nothingness.

"That should be the last of them." The female miqo'te said with a light sigh. She turned her attention behind her to a large chocobo farm. She had grabbed a quest there to destroy a few monsters in return for some gold and, as every adventurer swore they got, a form of experience. The miqo'te walked back to the chocobo farm, and then glanced through her bag of items. 'One thing I really want this quest giver to give me is a chocobo of my own. Those blasted birdbrains cost a fortune to get!' She thought with a frustrated sigh. Having a form of transportation would be ideal. Maybe a few more quests and that woman would give her what she wanted.

The miqo'te, the female with cat ears and a cat tail approached the chocobo farm. She watched as the chocobos kept staring at her, not making a single sound. She heard from the farm owner that chocobos would do that when they liked the person, but she had her doubts. She had expected all sorts of warking and 'wooweewoowee' noises, not that she could replicate the noises in text format easily. She waved to the farm owner as she walked into the massive barn of chocobos. "Hey, I did the quest just as you asked! I'm here for my reward!"

The farm owner stepped out of one of the stalls and smiled. "Ah, Teresa. You changed your outfit I see. Black does look interesting on you. Well, I was preparing your reward, but something came up while doing so."

Teresa raised a brow. She wore a black and red top with long leggings. "Um... what do you mean something came up?" The farm owner was just going to give her gold, wasn't she? The fact that something could come up with that was immensely unusual.

"I wanted to give you more than just gold as a reward but it looks like the chocobo ran off before I could. They left a feather though. You adventurer types like chocobo feathers, don't you?"

'What the heck kind of question is that? What weirdo collects chocobo feathers?' Teresa rolled her eyes. "Look, if there's more I can do to help you so I can get a chocobo, if that's the implied reward, I'll do it okay? Just let me know what I have to do."

"Are you familiar with chocobo breeding?" The farm owner asked with a sly smile on her face.

Teresa looked back at the farm owner as if she were a clear cut pervert. Mentioning chocobo breeding with such a big smile on her face only meant one thing. Well, Teresa no longer had to guess why this person took the job of chobobos. "So, one of your chocobos ran away so you want me to help you breed another? What, do I look for a chocobo in a certain area, use a certain green and bring it back, then I get a chocobo baby of my own that magically grows into an adult?" Teresa swore some people loved to live in fantasy tales. No way two chocobos would breed and cause an adult chocobo ready to be ridden like so many claimed.

"You really do have the wildest ideas." The farm owner laughed. "No, no. See, you hold onto this feather of theirs and then get into the fenced area where the other chocobos are. I'll instruct you what to do from there. Does that sound good?"

'Is she going to teach me how to breed chocobos? God, I hope this quest gives me a chocobo of my own.' Teresa grabbed the feather and turned her head to an open part of the barn that led into the chocobo area. "Yeah, you mentioned they like me when they're all staring at me." She said quietly before stepping onto the grassy plains of the farm once more. "So what, do I just wave this feather around in front of a chocobo?" Not that she knew what she was doing. She half didn't want to learn this sort of thing. She wanted a chocobo, but not this badly.

"Sort of." The farm owner replied. She grabbed the door to the barn and sealed it shut once Teresa stood in the center of the many staring chocobos.

Teresa spun in a circle to see the many, many chocobos all staring at her silently. It was one thing to see them from the other side of the fence looking at her with such intent, but to be with them was just creepy. "Okay?" She scoffed. She didn't need a chocobo this badly! She walked up to the door to open it up, only to find there wasn't a handle on the other side. She wished she could say she was surprised, but there was a short white fence surrounding her, and a barrier such as a fence was not going to keep her from escaping. 'Screw it. Waste of my time helping out this creep.' Teresa thought with a scowl on her face. No gold, just experience, worthless experience. She walked over to the fence and tried to put her hand on it, only for a strange shield to come out of nowhere, but only in the spots where she reached out her fingertips. "Huh?"

"Dear, do you think a simple white horizontal fence will keep the chocobos in?" the farm owner said as she walked out of the barn, but this time on the other side of the fence. "No, I have to have a shield to keep them in the yard! That one chocobo was just a bit smarter than the others, but I won't make that mistake with my newest chocobo!"

Teresa shook her head. She put her other hand on the shield and made a fist. She slammed her hand up against the shield and found it was as hard as steel, which was not a good feeling on her fingers! A quick cure spell managed to cure her pain, but not her situation. That was right! She knew all sorts of spells and magics. She even had a return spell she could cast to get her out of this situation. She began to cast it, only to be interrupted when a beak poked her butt. She jumped in the air and turned to see a chocobo straight behind her! When did he get there! "Get away you dirty bird!" She put her hands on the chocobo's beak and tried to push it away, but to no avail.

"Ah! His name is Kirrae, a chocobo that came off a train recently, and quite an eager one at that." The farm owner chuckled. "A few new chocobos came from there in fact. He just wants to meet you and wonders why you're in those hot itchy clothes."

Teresa felt her body begin to sweat with fear. Was this return spell even going to work? She could try to kill these chocobos, but that sounded so inhuman. These chocobos were farm bred, weren't they? Something about the eyes in the chocobo poking at her gave off the impression they were a bit smarter than the average chocobo... was the farm owner? No... that couldn't be. She raised up her hand and unclenched her fist only to find the chocobo feather she had been given was no longer there. 'What in the name of ifrit is going on?' She took a deep breath, and tried to cast her return spell again, only for the chocobo to poke her again. Moreover, the suit she was wearing was starting to become uncomfortable.

"Focusing is a little hard when you've got a bird on your butt, isn't it?" The farm owner teased Teresa. "Care to try something else?" She raised up one of her hands. "And I can tell what you were thinking when you looked at that bird. If you even think about harming them, the chocobos will learn what a BBQ Miqo'te smells like."

Teresa had a feeling this farm owner was being very serious. So hurting the chocobos was out unless she was in for a fight, but at this point, what option did she have? Maybe she couldn't fight the chocobos, but she could fight the farm owner. "Why don't you come in here and say that? That shield blocks you from doing anything." She raised an open palm to the chocobo that kept bugging her. "This stupid thing stays close to me, he might get burned." It was a bluff, but anything to get that farm owner on the other side to challenge her so she could escape was better than nothing.

"This shield is a one way barrier. You do know what that means, don't you?" The farm owner shot a white ball from her hand that hit Teresa dead on, going right through the shield. "I can fire whatever spell I want at you and it'll hit. You however, can't unleash a single thing at me. Moreover, you're not the kind to harm chocobos. Care to try another threat?"

"I'll... I'll..." Teresa had to think of something, as if she were challenged by this woman. "I'll wark you!" She paused. What did she just say? "I mean I'll..." She shook her head. Her clothing felt more and more uncomfortable with each passing moment. She wrapped her hands around herself and raised her foot to push the chocobo away that was still bugging her so much. What was with this bird? He was so fixated on her! She took a deep calming breath, and while doing so she picked up a strange salty scent that was... good. She turned to the chocobo, and then back to the farm owner. "You..." She wanted to say what she thought, but she didn't want to jinx her own fate. Her shoes were feeling more uncomfortable than the rest of her though and, unable to help herself, she kicked them off. It wasn't as if chocobos left their droppings all over. When she removed her shoes though, she noticed she had not regular feet, but two sharp claws that stuck out in front and one in back, not quite fully formed, but still in the process of creation.

"Oh yes, those claws look quite lovely. You know, I almost wonder why chocobos don't use them to attack more often? Or perhaps they do? You might know chocobos better than I." The farm owner smirked. "Or should I give you a few days and then ask again how well you know them."

Teresa shook her head. Her body continued to grow hot and itchy, but now she feared removing any other clothing other than the shoes she had already taken off. The strange brown scales of her feet were already trailing upwards. She kept her arms at her sides and tried to think of whatever else she had in her inventory. She attempted an esuna spell, but to no avail. She wasn't even entirely certain if she cast the spell right in the first place, things were getting so hot and confusing, and that bird was not helping her!

Just as Teresa thought about the bird, with a happy wark, the bird grabbed Teresa's top with its beak and began to pull, as if it knew what that thing was and how to get it off her.

'You've got to be kidding me.' If Teresa was going to strike this chocobo down, now was the time to do it. She had an array of weapons hidden in her stash, and as she reached in to grab her cane, if only to give this chocobo a good whack, she found she couldn't access her own inventory. "What?" There must have been more than the shield to this ranch. "Wark are you doing to me?" She shouted to the farm owner before she covered her mouth in shock from unleashing that noise again! The chocobo tore Teresa's outfit from behind, revealing a bare butt that was taking on a yellow hue with feathers sprouting.

"You're going to learn a lot more about chocobos than you ever thought before." The farm owner replied with a smirk and her own arms crossed. "Like did you know a chocobo can breed seemingly countless times if you give it the right greens? Speaking of which, you should try some greens, they can be very good for a growing transforming chocobo such as yourself!"

Teresa would sooner tell the woman to go fuck herself if she wasn't so afraid of warking again, or making other chocobo noises for that matter. She let out a high pitched "Woo!" When that male chocobo grabbed her clothing again. Was this male chocobo working with the farm owner? Maybe he wanted to be the first to mate with her, but she wasn't having it. She jumped back and lowered her head. She would have moved her arms in a position to cast a spell had they not felt glued to her side. 'What the hell is your deal being so fixated to... ack!' The male chocobo that had been bugging her wasn't alone in wanting to 'assist' her, as a second chocobo approached and grabbed the side of her shirt in an attempt to pull it off. "You too?"

"Of course, chocobos help one another out." The farm owner leaned over the fence and reached behind her. She grabbed a handful of greens and dropped it to the ground, chocobo greens to be more precise. "These greens increase the arousal levels in chocobos and encourage breeding." She explained. "I'm not sure what they're called to be honest."

Teresa's nose immediately picked up the scent of the greens the farm owner dropped, a salty yet earthy scent, almost the same scent as the chocobo's around her, at least the male ones. She watched as many, many chocobos began to rush the greens, so much so that Teresa didn't have a chance to even think about going over to the side of the fence before several chocobo butts surrounded the greens. She should have been thankful that the chocobos ate the food for her, but at the same time now her eyes were locked on the butts of the males, including the sights of their yellow feathery balls. Their cocks were sheathed, but as they ate, pink slithery shafts began to slide out from the male sheaths. She didn't even pay attention to the female chocobos, only the male ones. "What, you expect me to eat those greens too? I'm not an animal!"

The farm owner shrugged. "I didn't say you had to eat those greens if you didn't want to. You must be more chocobo than I thought." She said with a chuckle. "But no, no. The males and females eat these. Did I mention I have far more males than I do females? So when all the male chocobos eat these, they're going to want to find someone to mate with. I wonder who they're going to pick?"

Teresa glanced around from side to side. She noticed that all of the chocobos were now focused on eating that small pile of greens the farm owner was contributing to. Now was her chance to cast that return spell and get home! She closed her eyes and thought up that return spell, and while she knew the spell name, she wasn't able to think of the proper channel to use her magic to cast it. 'What in the name of ifrit?' She tried to think of the spell again, but no magic flowed through her to cast it. "WARK's going on? I can't think of that spell!"

"Of course you can't, bird brain." The farm owner called out to Teresa. "Do you really think chocobos know how to cast any magical spells in the first place? You really are dumb." She tossed a handful of greens in Teresa's direction, landing right next to her dark chocobo feet. "Eat, get horny, and mate. That's what chocobos do. Unless you count the racers, but you aren't good enough for that."

Teresa wasn't going to race or mate for this crazy woman! She tried to think about another spell to teleport back home, but she wasn't able to concentrate well enough on her magic. Had she the ability to track her powers through a user interface, she would have noticed she was unlearning many of her spells and her stats were going down as every single class, all but a new class of 'chocobo' that appeared. She looked down at the greens and grabbed a hold of one of the leek-like foods. The earthy scent made it very, very tempting to try, but she knew that she shouldn't. She wasn't a chocobo!

"You know you want to try it. Just look at all your feathered friends eating away, slowly getting horny, slowly getting aroused. You can't help but look at those bird butts, can't you? You want to pick one of them and start mating right away, even without eating those greens. Moreover, when was the last time you even ate anything? I bet you're starving!"

How long has it been since Teresa ate? She ate irregularly, mostly before she went on adventures and before fighting big giant bosses. The huge bosses were always so nice to let her eat before fighting, they wanted her dead but they'd wait until she ate a pizza before she battled them. Questionable eating logic aside, the greens looked much better by the moment. She opened her mouth and put the end of the green in her mouth. She closed her lips, but she didn't bite down. She let her tongue run along the greens and noticed it tasted a lot like lettuce, which was mostly flavorless, though there was a tiny hint of spice to it. Teresa wished she could identify what spice it was, just that it wasn't a bad one. It reminded her of a salad dressing of sorts. Unable to help herself, she bit down on it with a light crunch and chewed. 'I shouldn't be doing this. I'm becoming a chocobo.' She thought, and yet at the same time her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't stop looking at the many bird butts, mostly the male ones. She imagined their cocks inside of her and it was enough to drive her arousal up. "Y-you... there's got to be a better way! There's so many damn chocobos that exist in the world already!" She swore at one point there must have been an infinite amount of them.

"That doesn't matter. You can feel it, can't you? All those spells vanishing from your library, all your thoughts slowly converting and twisting to mating. I bet you can't even take the green out of your mouth with your hands anymore." The farm owner commented. She leaned on the rails and grinned at Teresa. "And that outfit of yours must be SO uncomfortable. Don't you just want to wiggle out of it?"

'My clothes?' How could Teresa not forget about her extremely itchy clothing? Part of her clothes had been torn off by the other chocobos, but she still wore them. She backed away from the farm owner and tried to raise her arms up again, only to find out she couldn't! She glanced down and realized her arms had not only begun to turn yellow, but shrunk in size. Her very torso was twisting and converting underneath the suit which just made her outfit that much more uncomfortable. "You... you're not going to remove that!" Her tail pulled back, but it too was developing feathers on it.

"Of course I'm not going to remove your clothes. You probably will though. Or maybe your buddies will." The farm owner watched as many of the chocobos began to wark and 'speak' to each other before walking off. The original male chocobo from before, the one that had been first bothering Teresa was there watching her. While most of the time it would have been impossible to distinguish chocobos since so many looked alike, Teresa just knew who this one was.

Teresa's clothes were becoming too much for her. Her torso was shrinking and transforming underneath that outfit. She could feel more feathers sprout underneath her clothes but atop her skin, which just made her itchy feeling worse. Instinctively, she cocked her head down and grabbed part of her outfit, hearing it with her hardening lips bit by bit until she was finally free of her clothes, though shredding her entire outfit in the process. She was nude, but it oddly felt... right? Her body was a combination of that of a miqo'te and a chocobo, her skin mostly revealing and showing tits, but her breast much smaller than it once was. Her torso shrank, but her neck was longer, which made it all the easier to bend her head around her body. She tried to think of a counterspell to this, but every spell she thought of was quickly escaping her thoughts. With every new feather to her body, another spell was gone.

"Are you ready to start breeding some chocobos yet? You look like you'd already make a great mother!" The farm owner called out. "That male chocobo really wants to show you how to make good baby chicks!"

Teresa shook her head rapidly, but the more her body changed, the more she was beginning to desire the chocobo watching her. She saw the glint in his eyes, the glint of intelligence, and desire. While she shook her head, her torso tilted forward while it transformed. She was glad to be out of her itchy clothing, but she was so cold on the outside, yet so hot on the inside. Her nether lips growing the hottest, yet wettest. Her tail retracted, replaced with big feathers that popped out one at a time. "Wark!" She cried out in desperation, unable to change jobs to anything that might be able to resolve this. She glanced down at her clothes and her bag of items, trying to think of something, anything that might fix her form, but unable to think of anything, much less use anything as her arms felt so useless. Feathers appeared on her fingers, overtaking her entire hand. "B-bwark!"

The male chocobo in question walked arounc Teresa and put his beak up against Teresa's neck. His tongue poked out and moved up and down while his beak poked at her feathers, as if not just pulling out the feathers she was growing, but her very body as well.

Teresa immediately tried to jump back in response, but with a loud snap her kneecaps changed direction and caused her to stumble onto the grassy ground. She looked up at the male chocobo horrifyingly while her beak grew so big that it swallowed her nose, leaving only two small dots on the beak in its place. The more she tried to fight it, the faster her change seemed to come.

"The harder you fight it, the more your body is going to want it." The farm owner called out. "You already had a bit of that green, you want him so badly I can see it in your eyes!"

"Shut up!" Teresa managed to shout through her transforming mouth. Her neck more than doubled in size. Her torso looked perfectly rideable for a human-like creature on her back, and she was gaining the muscles to support that rider for that matter. Little by little her body continued to alter, and there was nothing she could do about it. She smelled the male chocobo who wouldn't stop pestering her. She tried to pull herself up, but instead she wound up pointing her much bigger feathered covered butt towards the male chocobo, as if inviting him for a round of fun.

The chocobo let out a happy wark and jumped on top of Teresa, putting his entire weight on her body to carry. He tilted his rear downwards, pushing his strange twisty shaft into her transforming sex eagerly, letting out a happy "KWEEEEHHH!!" As he penetrated her.

Teresa couldn't believe it. This chocobo was so heavy that she couldn't get him off her! Though her body also hadn't quite fully transformed yet either to support his weight. While her breast vanished underneath her growing feathers and her neck grew upwards, she let out a loud chocobo noise herself. "BWARRRK!" All while the chocobo penetrated her. Why was he so eager! Sure, the greens made him aroused, but there had to be more to it than that! Unfortunately the mating made it hard for her to think. Her array of spells and abilities were long gone. All she could do was be mounted by this big bird.

Teresa's head felt as if it emptied out as the bird above her thrust in and out of her new formed chocobo sex repeatedly. She hadn't even gotten a chance to study her new anatomy or body for that matter! Her head was the last to change, though she had grown a beak, her hair fell out little by little while her head reshaped. She swore she could feel complex thoughts and emotions fall out from her head with every bit of hair that fluttered to the grass. She was a chocobo, a dumb chocobo with only the most basic of intelligence needed to survive. She tried to hold on to herself, but with every thrust of that beautiful bird's cock, it became more and more of a challenge.

"KEWEEEHHEEEWW!" The chocobo cried out happily, thrusting it's shaft in Teresa once more before cumming deep inside Teresa's new body, now far more of a chocobo than her former race.

What was Teresa once? With her cat earsIt wasn't long before Teresa felt the chocobo orgasm within her, giving her it's seed. Her body tensed up and came with the chocobo, her transformation finished into that of a big bird, bred by a chocobo that she had wondered only briefly if it was once something else besides a chocobo, but now that didn't matter. She had just experienced her first joy as a chocobo, and her body yearned for so much more. Mentally it was a struggle to retain what little intelligence she had left as she just wanted more and more, but she turned her head to the farm owner to see her grinning, and offering just a few more greens. None of the other chocobos seemed interested, but the sweet scent of this new vegetable was enough for her to get the male chocobo off her and then draw her closer to this farm owner. Well that and she wanted to try to do something or say something to them.

The farm owner smiled up at Teresa. Her new body and neck made her much taller than her, but besides the beak and claws, she was harmless. Even Teresa's arms were now nothing more than small wings at her sides, only able to flap mostly useless, a chocobo that could not fly. "The other chocobos aren't interested in these greens as they've eaten them already. They're rather special greens, more special than the ones you ate that made you aroused and increased your fertility." She paused. "Oh, did I not mention the fertility part? A little too late now."

Teresa tried to struggle and fight. She wanted to run away from this farm owner. Her heart pounded in her altered chest with adrenaline. She either had to run or she had to fight, not that she could do much if she fought outside of pecking off the farm owner's hand. She leaned down and grabbed the greens in her beak. She was about to bite down again, but the farm owner pulled away with a smile on her face.

'Figures.' Teresa thought with a frustrated mental sigh. At least the greens tasted good. She'd munch and crunch away at the greens that tasted surprisingly sweet for a vegetable. As she swallowed it though, her eyes went wide as she soon figured out just what kind of greens these were...

Some time later...

A man walked into the barn. "Hello? I did that quest, just as you asked!"

The farm owner, the very one that had just dealt with Teresa stepped out of a stall with a smile on her face. "Oh good! Thank you for destroying all those nasty enemies for me. You know it's hard to get a good adventurer nowadays who can do all of that."

The man nodded to the farm owner. "Oh yes, in truth, I was hoping to get a chocobo of my own. I noticed you have a female that likes to breed quite a lot and she has a ton of chicks. Do you think I could get a chocobo of my own?"

With a smirk, the farm owner walked up to the side of the barn and opened up a door leading to the fenced area. "Oh, I'm sure we can arrange something... say, do you know how chocobos breed? I would love to show you."
