Day II: the Rope of Strength

, , , ,

#11 of Muscle growth

The second day of the challenge, and the last, sadly. This time a princess tries to help his loyal servant dragon to become a mighty warrior, to do so she uses a magical rope.


Derek saw his reflection on the water surface of the pond and he could not help but feel depressed. He had enlisted in the army a month ago, but no matter how hard he worked, he only managed to gain some muscle tone in his slender, dragon-like body. His dreams of becoming a powerful and useful knight for his kingdom seemed very distant, almost unattainable.

"Why the long face?" a sweet voice came from behind him. Derek jerked in surprise and quickly turned his face around. Princess Filoria was approaching.

"Your Highness!" Derek immediately kneeled before her, as he was supposed to do.

"Oh, please don't," Filoria stopped him. "You know, you don't have to show me so much respect. We're friends, aren't we?"

She was right. Since he joined the castle's army, both of them had developed a close relationship. The fox princess usually spent her free time watching the training of the new recruits. Moreover, she would often engage in conversation with him. Yet, he could not help but show some respect whenever he saw her.

"So," she continued. "Why do you have such a long face?"

"I'm just disappointed in my own body," Derek replied, his eyes fixed on the floor. "It has been a month and I'm still skinny." My comrades have had more development that I have."

"Do you mean strength?" she inquired. "Certainly, the other recruits have shown more improvement in that regard, but..."

"I should be in an even better shape than they are. After all, I'm a dragon," he interrupted her.

"You have a point in that. You belong to a big race, so you should gain muscular mass faster, if you were a fox like I am it would be another story," she admitted. "Hmmm." Perhaps you're more of the slender type, and by that, I mean those persons that struggle to acquire body mass, but it's easy for them to lose weight."

"What should I do then?" Derek gave her a pleading sight.

"Be patient," she answered. She could not avoid feeling sorry for him, she had made fond of him.

Derek sighed at the response. When he was about to leave, she stopped.

"Wait!" "I may have an idea."

Derek stopped and looked at her with curiosity.

"There is one item in our treasure chamber that might help you," she explained. "If you are willing to believe and try it, maybe we can achieve your dreams."

Derek was hesitant about the princess' words, yet he considered he had nothing to lose. So he followed her.

Princess Filoria guided him to the Treasure Chambers, which were located in the basement of the castle, a few floors above the dungeons. It was his first time entering them, as only the royal family and a select few members of the palace were allowed inside. He was marveled by all the splendid objects he found there, because coin and gold were not the only things kept in there, but also countless of artifact, which nature and purposes he did not know.

"This is it," the princess pointed to a rope on the floor. "This is what we were looking for."

"Are you sure, your highness?" Derek did not buy it. The rope seemed so ordinary that it was hard to believe it was magical.

"I'm telling you 'It is'," she reassured. "Now, pick it up and let's go to my private chambers."

Derek did as she ordered, and within a couple of minutes, they were both in the princess's room.

"Now, take off your clothes..." Filoria stopped talking for a second when she saw the perplexity drawn all over Derek's face. "Don't look at me like that. Unless you want your clothes to tear apart, take them off. You won't fit in them anyway."

Derek slowly took of his clothes. He could not avoid being embarrassed, it was the first time he undressed before a woman, not to say, it was the princess.

"Underwear as well," she added with a smirk, which gave him even more embarrassment. He had heard some rumors about the interests of the princess, even more, he had seen his bodyguards, who were known to be the strongest warriors of the castle, the apex of masculinity and handsomeness.

"Good. Now I'm going to tie you with the rope around your body," she instructed. "I need you to kneel, for you are too high for me."

Derek did as she commanded and she tied the rope around his torso. He was surprised for the strength she tied him. There was no doubt that she was far from being a delicate lady.

"Now try to set yourself free," she ordered after having tied him. "Try to open your arms."

Derek obeyed once again, and in the moment he applied some strength to the rope, he felt a strange sensation. It was as if the rope had gained some kind of energy that gradually zipped into his body. It was a warm sensation.

"That's it, you have activated it. Continue," the princess cheer him up. Derek continued struggling to free himself, the more he tried, the more that energy flowed into his body and his strengths seemed to increase as well.

"You are feeling it, aren't you?" the princess asked. "The strength?"

"I think I do," he answered without stopping his labor. He thought that the rope was starting to loosen slightly at his attempts to tear it. He was also feeling good with all that energy moving into his body, and the new strength he was acquiring. He even dared to say his own body was growing under the strains of the rope.

Derek continued struggling with the rope, which felt less tight by the second as his body felt stronger. In the moment one fiber of the rope broke under the pressure he had been exerting, others followed suit in a domino effect, and Derek freed his arms. His suppositions were correct: he had gained body mass during his fight against his restraints. Gone was his slender figure; before the princess stood a colossal dragon.

The ropes that floated in the air rapidly moved toward him, but this time they weaved into a harness over his body: two of them surrounded his massive pecs, joining in the sternum with a golden ring that appeared magically, highlighting them; two other sets moved to his shoulders and arms, constricting his biceps whenever he flexed them. Two other ropes moved to his back to connect with the ones that were tied around his buttocks, legs, and penis.

Derek was marveled by the result of the magic upon his body. He had surpassed all his comraded, he had acquired a body of someone who had worked steadily for years. He had low body fat, so every muscle was perfectly visible, and the harness accentuated them even more. He could not resist the temptation to explore his new body, to flex it, to feel every muscle.

"What do you think?" the voice of the princess snapped him out of his thoughts. "Are you satisfied?"

"More than satisfied, princess," Derek answered immediately "This is far more than what I wished for, I'm grateful for your kindness."

"Indeed, you ended up very pleasant to my eyes, Derek," the princess licked her lips with lust. "I think... no, I will speak with your instructor for making you join as my bodyguard in the moment you finish your training and fully become a soldier."

"I... I'm pleased to hear those words," Derek stammered.

"Well, despite it is a nice view, we must cover that body of yours so you can walk freely in this caste," Filoria said "But you better get used to them. You will work for me in the future."
