Goddess' Gift

, , , , , ,

A woman strikes a deal with a goddess to get a new body in exchange for serving her.

This is fairly short compared to some of my other stuff at only ~2250 words, but my other personal writing stuff at the moment is either too ambitious or just not something I'm feeling up for at the moment, so have this written-in-less-than-a-day short in the meantime. Bonus: this serves as a backstory for a recurring character who I hope to use more in the future.


Danielle looked around the dark, stone hall nervously. She'd heard rumors of just what the goddess who supposedly lived in this dark, damp place was capable of, and knew full well the risks, both mundane and mystical, that she was taking by even just being here. Faint purple lights embedded in the walls guided her along, and she paused when she saw the pool of water at the end of a large room, presumably meant for large audiences.

Carefully, she approached, not wanting to slip on any of the still wet tiles. She brushed her lightly colored hair out of her face, looking at her pale skin, her loose clothes covering her body. She knew exactly what it was she was here for; to meet the local goddess of creation, oceans, and change. That last part was the domain of interest to Danielle, as she sought a way to shed her current human form in favor of one she would be more at home in.

She pulled out an offering, a selection of food that the deity was supposedly fond of. She hoped that this would make the deity more fond of her; the goddess could often be as capricious as the seas, and she would frequently alter the forms of beings for her own amusement rather than that of whoever was affected. While such changes were frequently still perfectly welcome for those affected, Danielle had a specific form in mind for herself, one she knew she'd enjoy. One she'd fantasized about for a long time.

Still, she first needed to invoke the goddess. She had no idea how long that would actually take; she sat down on the damp tiles, thankful she'd worn swimwear, as she waited, tossing the food into the water. After a moment, she decided to try directly invoking her. "Oh, great goddess..." she squeaked out, her voice high and unsteady. "I, um, I humbly request your presence!" Nothing happened immediately, of course. The water rippled from the foodstuffs, some floating on the surface, some sinking into the abyssal pool and its network of pitch black caverns beneath. The temple being built into a beachside cliff was one thing, but the knowledge that the goddess resided deep in the caves beneath was unsettling. Another thing for Danielle to be thankful for was that she'd be able to avoid having to explore in the caves; she knew how deadly that was even without the risk of a divine entity deciding she'd be better spending eternity as a sea urchin or something.

She sighed, looking at some vines, growing and even flowering despite the lack of regular light in the space. The goddess was real, she'd seen some of her work, but Danielle just wasn't sure how to actually get her to appear. Still, she kept waiting a little longer. She was about to take out her phone, read a little bit, before she saw a new rippling in the water. She crawled a little closer, only to jump back in surprise at the sight of a massive purple muzzle bursting from the water, taking in all of the scatter offerings still on the surface in a single bite.

Danielle watched as the deity pulled herself up, out of the water. Paws easily able to hold her entire body gripped the edges of the pool and wings that rivaled personal aircraft stretched out behind her. Glowing, red and yellow eyes surrounded by a dark fur face mask looked down at her, framed by deep blue hair, twitching feline ears, and massive horns that grew translucent by the tips. And just above her bare, pale-scaled breasts grew a large, blooming flower, pink petals surrounding a mass of yellow stamen and pistils. She shook her head a little, glowing spots on her body gently pulsing and flashing as she smiled.

"Why, hello little one. It's been quite a while since I've been called to this temple, so I was a little late. Please forgive me." she said, and Danielle stood back up herself.

"Oh, great goddess, I-" she began, only to be cut off by the deity before her.

"Please, you can just call me Lily. As much as I do like the title... oh, sorry, please continue."

"Oh, goddess Lily, I've, ah, humbly come to make a request..." she said, before pausing and freezing from nervousness. Lily giggled a little, lowering her head to look more closely at Danielle.

"Oh, I think I know what you want. People like to pray to me for either a new body, kinder oceans, or both." she explained, her eyes gently pulsing with light that soon echoed into flashes of yellow and pink along her body. Danielle found herself looking into them, her worries starting to ease as she watched the mesmerizing patterns. "The question, of course, is what shall I turn you into~?"

Danielle nodded, finding that wordlessly the goddess was commanding her through the moving patterns. Her fears and anxieties were starting to get pushed aside, and she found herself compelled to speak.

"I... I want you to make me stronger. Bigger, taller, sexier." she said, and the goddess smiled deeper.

"Ah, of course. Sexiness is subjective, of course, but I think I can help you from your description~" she said. Danielle smiled back, nodding along.

"Um, I also want to be more confident. Dommy, even, like you!" she added, blushing as she realized that, while she was being made to say what she wanted, it was true. It was exactly what she'd come for, in fact; Lily was already helping her admit to what she knew she wanted.

"Of course, dear. Such a good girl, telling me exactly what you want~" she said, and Danielle felt a bit of pleasure at the praise. "I think we can arrange a deal. I'll give you a new species, a new body, and a few mental tweaks, and in exchange, you help me transform others. How does that sound?" she asked, leaving the smaller subject to ponder the deal for a few moments. Lily's lights slowly stopped pulsing and shifting, allowing her to think about the deal on her own terms.

After about a minute and a half, Danielle looked back into the deity's massive eyes, nodding and smiling. "Do it. For a new body, I'll happily serve you... at least, assuming that whoever I change also, um, likes it..." she said, only for her to suddenly find her whole face pressed against dark lips as the goddess kissed her.

"Of course! That's already what I usually do anyway. Now, come here~" Lily replied, before Danielle suddenly felt a massive, soft pad roughly shove her forward, face pressing directly into the massive, soft flower on Lily's chest. The soft, sweet scent was almost overwhelming, and she could feel Lily's purring as the trance hit her body at full force once more, a far more abrupt drop than earlier. In an instant she felt her clothes fall down around her, seams tearing themselves apart as the goddess worked her magic.

"Alright, let's start with the body, shall we?" Lily cooed, and Danielle was powerless to resist. Not that she would've wanted to even without the trance, of course. Divine power flowed into her veins with every breath she took, the pollen clouding her thoughts and letting Lily exert her influence with ease.

Her legs buckled and feet slipped as she felt herself growing taller, muscles bulking up and fat layering more thickly atop them. She weakly tried to pull away, but Lily just adjusted her position, the soft flesh of her paw shifting and warping around her to ensure she'd be held both securely and comfortably. Her leg tensed, and she stretched it out, standing on her toes briefly. "There," Lily said, "that's your new strength dealt with. Now for that species~"

Danielle squirmed in her grip, finding herself surprisingly turned on by the twin sensations of every part of her changing body being squeezed, and the transformation itself. She didn't feel much stronger yet, but she knew she was far more powerful now, even while still human.

Her fingers and toes stretched, opening and closing as she felt webbing start to connect them, slowly growing stronger and thicker as her new paws formed. The nails grew sharper and thicker as they morphed into claws, and her toes shortened and feet broadened as they morphed and altered. As dark brown fur began to sprout out on her body, hair darkening to match, she realized just what she was becoming already, and was delighted.

Danielle was becoming an otter, one of her favorite animals and her favorite aquatic one in particular. She wasn't sure if this would've been her first choice, and she expected Lily picked it simply to give them a stronger connection, but now that it was here, she loved it. Her skin prickled and tensed up as her old body hair turned into soft fur, her chest expanding and getting coated in pollen. She felt the soft, caring breaths of the goddess holding her in place, even as a powerful, thick tail slowly forced itself free, her spine uncomfortably lengthening as her hips widened to fit it onto her frame.

Another odd pressure was forming around her shoulders, a second set of joints forming in place. Danielle was confused by this, even with the pollen in her head, but it soon became clear as she felt new limbs forming from them. They were small, but they grew long fingers, connected by a firm, thin and furred membrane. Just like how Lily was a chimeric being, so too would Danielle be a hybrid, her new batlike wings struggling against Lily's paw before settling into a comfortable space.

Ironically, her face was the last to be affected by the pollen; her eyes stung for a moment as they became waterproof, her teeth and jaws aching as they pushed forward into a broad muzzle. Still she smiled, newly pointed teeth and extra large fangs exposed as her new nose took in the sweet smell of her goddess, ears twitching as they shrunk and relocated. Another burst of pain ran through her scalp as horns took root, the shape of her skull adjusting even further to allow them to fit smoothly, curling around her new ears cleanly.

"There we go." Lily said, pulling Danielle out of the massive flower at last, although she still felt dazed and malleable as she looked into the gently flashing eyes of the goddess. "How do you like it?" she asked.

Without thinking, Danielle responded. "It's good! I'm cute, and hot, and strong..." she said, and Lily giggled.

"Good girl!" she said, making Danielle's heart flutter. "Now, all we need is to tweak your thoughts a little. Is that agreeable?" she asked, and when the otter in her hand nodded she smiled. "Good~ From now on, I want you to help serve me. It'll feel good to serve me, and while you can disobey orders if you so choose, your default inclination is to follow them."

Danielle nodded, repeating after her. "It's good for me to obey you, and feel good to do so." Lily nodded back, and Danielle felt a twinge of additional pleasure, realizing that by putting this first all the other hypnotic commands would be stronger.

"Of course, while you'll submit to me, around others you'll push your doubts aside when needed. You'll be the confident, sexy, and capable lady you always wanted to be." she said, giggling when Danielle repeated her exactly save for who she referred to. "You'll take charge and lead when appropriate, and enjoy doing so." she continued, before issuing a final command. "And you'll find it just as hot and sexy as I do to transform others, either temporarily or permanently. It'll be something you look for excuses to do, and enjoy doing. Now, let's let you back... Up."

Danielle blinked as she came out of her trance, before staring into the giant face looking down at her. "Oh, thank you, Lily!" she said with a smile, before turning to examine herself. This was perfect, exactly the change she wanted plus a few fun bonuses.

"You're welcome, little one." Lily replied, leaning forward to plant a massive kiss on Danielle once more. This time, she did her best to return it, pressing her lips against the lower one of her new goddess. As she pulled back, Danielle blushed and giggled, returning to running her paws along her new body. Lily spoke again as she watched, "I've taken the liberty of granting you a fraction of my own power, dear. Plus, I know a certain fox who can provide you with more physical trinkets if you so please."

Danielle nodded, turning back to face Lily. After a moment, she looked over how she was still naked before the goddess. She didn't mind, and it wasn't like the also currently naked goddess minded, but she still tested her own new power by rematerializing her clothes, the remaining scraps reforming and expanding into a new, tight bikini that left little to the imagination. "Oh, this is nice..." she said.

"Indeed. Now, the question is, do you wish to return to where you came, or would you rather get to know your goddess a little better~?" Lily teased, giggling when she say the otter still blushing and shaking a little.

In that moment, Danielle knew she'd made the right choice of goddess to pray to, and in her new mistress to serve.
