Beyond Nature and Reason
The Labyrinth was a miracle discovered outside of both nature and reason; an ecosystem that existed completely separate from the outside world. This miracle of nature, or whatever other force, had attracted the attention of a great number of scientists, philosophers, and even alchemists bent on unraveling the mysteries of the labyrinth; as well as those simply taking advantage of the wealth of seemingly otherworldly resources to make a year's salary in a few months. Apparently, the Labyrinth was once a relatively peaceful place, but as more and more humans began to explore its depths, beasts and monstrosities of all sorts rose to meet them.
Presently, the Labyrinth was a deathtrap, filled with lethal creatures at every step. This led to the hiring of skilled mercenaries to gather samples, recourses, or simply explore further for the benefit of the fervent scientists that were now too cautious of their own health to even set foot in their beloved and deadly Labyrinth.
Kya, a seasoned woman of the world, had heard about the wonders of this place and over the last six months, had been taking complete monetary advantage of this new discovery. She had originally joined with a standard five man group from the Explorers Guild, her skill with a bow was nothing legendary, but certainly enough to find her a place in the ranks of those brave enough to fetch things from the labyrinth for those curious enough to pay for them. In her first month she saw amazing things during her new party's brief expeditions. An underground land with lush vegetation, and a blue sky that was now believed to be some sort of luminescent fungus. A caterpillar the size of a cow, Poisonous moths as big as an atlas, and tree slugs with a shell that a person could easily fit into. All of these creatures however, seemed hell bent on devouring any human they encountered; however, selling what could be scavenged from their corpses paid rather well, even when split five ways. . .
It was this splitting of the pay that made Kya leave the guild. She was only making a fifth of what she could alone, of course, venturing into the Labyrinth alone was suicide, but she had planned a long time and pinched her pennies until she could afford a companion who wouldn't need an equal cut of the pie. Although almost all of the creatures from the Labyrinth were far too aggressive to be domesticated; recently a man had managed to breed a mastiff in captivity with a similar beast from the Labyrinth, and the results were exactly what Kya was looking for. Something tough and at home in the labyrinth, that would work for food instead of gold.

In the three months since she had bought the juvenile beast, it had matured into something that was ostensibly a large wolf of a dog. The colors of its pelt were the only clue of its less than mundane origins as it had faint traces of deep blue and green that ran through the darker grey and white gradations of its coat. She had been training it constantly, and it was both fiercely loyal, and a vicious fighter. Originally, she wasn't going to name her beast, but eventually she could not help but be drawn in by its loyalty and stately charisma, so she decided to name her new companion something equally regal; Bruin. When ever she called her pet's new name, Bruin would wave his fluffy banner of a tail and look up to her just as if he were a puppy again.
Once she believed Bruin ready, she took him into the labyrinth. The results were marvelous. She would hang back and let bruin take point, and as he bristled and growled at the denizens of the great maze, she would take her time in picking them off with a carefully placed arrow. Eventually, the creatures became more aggressive towards Bruin, but Bruin was quite a fighter in his own right, and could shrug off blows that would have killed any human. On many occasions, Bruin would actually juxtapose himself between a creature and Kya, protecting her with his own hide and fierce loyalty. This was sometimes troublesome as it often lost Kya the element of stealth, but she decided that it was better to have a pet that was too loyal and valorous than the other way around.

On her third venture into the Labyrinth with Bruin in tow, Kya was slightly careless and suffered dearly for it. As Bruin battled a thrashing plant with whip-like tendrils she got a little to close, as she drew back her bow, one of these vines whipped out and left a nasty gash along her right arm. At this, Bruin growled and redoubled his efforts, tackling the vicious plant with wild abandon as it whipped ineffectually at his tough flesh. Kya didn't even have time to fire off the killing blow as usual before the thing was ripped to shreds by the growling, slavering blur that was Bruin.
After Bruin was satisfied with his plant savaging, he trotted up to Kya, who was too busy taking bandages out of her pack to scold him for demolishing the monster's corpse, which probably could have been salvaged for raw materials, or at the very least, taken back as a curiosity. As Bruin approached, his ears folded back slightly as he whined, snuffling at the shallow gash in Kya's arm.
She rebuked him with a playful bat to the head saying "Shoo you! I'm not so delicate that I can't deal with a small cut." As she began to wrap the wound Bruin pushed his head past her hands and began to lap carefully at the long scratch, still whining while looking up at the shocked Kya.
"I can't work with you like this. . ." she began, looking past the large bobbing furred head at her wound. Although it had stopped bleeding, the wound hardly looked healthy.There were small green veins fanning out inside of her arm, already going as far as her elbow. Her eyes widened in horror, and she quickly stood up. "We need to get back to town . . . now," she said shakily, as her vision began to blur. She staggered along until she felt the comforting ruff of Bruin's neck fur under her hand. With her companion as a crutch, she staggered another twenty feet, as Bruin continued to whine, occasionally licking her hand to comfort her.
She made it as far as a stump where some group had previously harvested tree to take to whatever crazed scientific mind had desired one. At this point Kya realized that she was delirious, and was never going to make it out of this labyrinth. She felt as if she were burning up as she exhaustedly slumped down upon the former tree's stump. She was beginning to sweat, and the small amount of friction of her rough utilitarian clothes felt like needles raked over her skin, so she took off he hauberk, undid her heavy belt, and promptly collapsed acrossed the stump, mostly naked, in a deadly forest, as she was sure she would soon die.
She looked down at the rough bark of the tree stump and the soft soil of the ground, seeing a small trail of what looked like ants marching away from the trunk with bits of what was probably wood. If she were in a better state of mind she might have made a note of the information to see if she could sell it to an interested party, but she just starred, transfixed, occasionally realizing that the constant plaintive whimpering from behind her was coming from her companion, Bruin.
"Go back to town you." She mumbled, drowsily. It wasn't really painful any longer, but she realized that that probably wasn't a good sign. "You don't have to die here too." As she made these last feeble complaints Bruin came around in front of her and looked her in the eye. His odd hazel eyes filled with concern as he looked at his fallen master. "Just go. . ." Kya continued, coughing slightly, "there really isn't much left. . . ." she trailed off.
Bruin licked her face and then circled around away from her. She was glad as saw his bushy tail exit the edge of her fading vision; glad that no one would have to watch her die because of her own stupid miscalculation. Perhaps someone else would find Bruin a new home. As these thoughts rushed through her head, she felt a very familiar presence in an unfamiliar place.
It seemed that Bruin hadn't left as she had hoped he would. His long tongue was now running over her exposed nethers, she made to complain, but her body was even more lethargic now. The only noise she ended up producing was a barely audible gasp. Bruin continued with his rough tongue, lapping at her, and stimulating her in ways that she never would have imagined he could. As Bruin made a last few deep lashes with his skilled tongue, Kya began to wonder what was going on. Perhaps, not only was she to be killed by the Labyrinth, but also she would raped by one of its inhabitants? Surely not. . . . Bruin was a better friend to her than any human had ever been . . . not some monster. . .
As she thought these conflicted thoughts, Bruin raised himself up on the stump with his forepaws. She could hear his panting tongue behind her head, and she felt his soft paws press firmly against her sides. He gave her what she hoped was a reassuring lick on the back of her neck, still whining occasionally in a sympathetic manner. Kya could no longer force herself to care about anything as her vision started to dim, but there was a certain smell that pervaded her senses. Something deep and musky, not at all unpleasant, but very much like nutmeg, decaying leaves, and Bruin. . .
Bruin's pink tip was poking out of its downy sheath as he lowered himself carefully over his master, slowly entering her as he continued to whimper and lick the back of her neck. He began to slowly buck his hips, prick growing as it slid in and out of his master. Kya was no longer capable of moaning, but her muscles contracted in ecstasy. It felt wonderful, with the rhythmic pumping, and the occasional padded bump of his soft, furry testicles.
As Bruin continued his careful and yet steady pumping, his member began to protrude more and more, entering Kya deeper and deeper. His body shuttered as he jolted pre into Kya's passage. Almost immediately Kya's eyes widened, she could feel parts of herself shake free from the numbness that pervaded her body. Bruin continued to lick the back of her neck, now with more wild abandon, growling softly in pleasure. Where he licked felt warm and then cold, covered in his slick saliva. However, the skin quickly roughened as soft grey fur began to grow, slowly traveling up her neck and on towards the rest of her body.
It felt like she was being reborn. Her body had previously been numb, but the back of her neck suddenly flared into brilliant sensitivity. She could feel her new lover's tongue caressing the nape of her neck, and her ears felt peculiar as they began to pull into pointed triangles covered in velveteen fur, Just as Bruin's were.
Bruin's thrusting was now bringing his passion to fruition. The base of his member was slowly swelling into a sizeable knot. He began to whine in pleasure as it pressed repeatedly against Kya's tight netherlips. His entire body shook as his member trembled and shot once again inside of Kya. Her new fur began to race down her arms and breasts. Now able, Kya pulled her arms towards her as they pleasurably twisted so that she could pull them under herself, in a more comfortable, and more canine fashion. Her hands bent and began to shorten, tensing up as hair grew and leathery pads formed, changing her human hands into broad and well insulated paws. Her still human nails then curled and darkened into blunt claws, which tapped and skittered on the hard surface of the stump. The gash on her arm closed, but she could still feel the numbness that lay underneath the ostensibly healed wound.
Kya could feel a tight pressure on her breasts, as if she were wearing a shirt two sizes too small, and her breasts began to diminish into pert animalistic teats. As her human breasts diminished, three extra sets of nipples began to form on her belly, slowly pushing out into more taunt mounds of flesh, all of which were slowly covered in the same kind of soft white belly fur that she felt constantly brushing back and forth over her slowly changing back.
Then, she felt her entire face begin to stretch, not painfully, but as if someone were massaging the flesh and bone outward. She closed her eyes and grimaced, opening her mouth as she grew a long canine muzzle; tongue flopping to the side as her teeth lengthened into deadly canines. As she opened her eyes she saw the world quickly drawn into a new focus as her irises shifted to a deep hazel coloration. Her nose flattened into a moist black and leathery thing that capped off the muzzle that was slowly progressing into her vision. As her new nose developed, the musk that she smelled earlier on came into sharper and sharper "focus."
She could smell Bruin's strong male arousal, and his deep concern for her. As her sense of smell became more and more vivid she found that she was actually enjoying the process more and more. She was still horrified at her transformation but, that seemed a distant second to the strong bond that she could now sense between herself and Bruin. It seemed that some of her strength had returned as well, because her body was now beginning to match Bruin's determined humping thrust for thrust.
Bruin was now whining for release, his engorged knot still too big to fit inside of Kya's still human genitalia. He grabbed his new mate's sides more tightly and began to thrust with more speed and fervor, letting loose a whining howl as a small bead of spittle ran down his massive chops. He shuddered again and let loose another pre-ejaculation that was even more forceful than the last. Kya could smell the animal lust that was growing in him, and was aware as he became less and less gentle, treating her as a fellow beast rather than a fragile human.
As Bruin's ichor flowed inside of her again, the fur began to raze down her abdomen towards her legs. She began to feel his thrusts more and more intensely with what felt like having a lower, lower back, but actually turned out to be the start of her own bushy tail. Her legs began to shift and stretch in much the same way that her arms had, muscles shifting as dark and light fur raced over them. Her thighs slowly twisted so that her legs were oriented towards her sides in a typical canine fashion. This caused the cleft of her buttocks to shrink, pushing her anus and vagina out into a more prominent position, allowing Bruin much better access. Her legs now fell from the edge of the stump on which she lay, they stretched back as her feet lengthened and she braced herself, taking a wide stance with her new hind paws, scratching twin furrows into the soft soil as she panted heavily after every thrust, her new canine tongue happily lapping at the air ahead of her, curling up in utter pleasure as she stretched languorously.
Kya's new tail became as full and long as Bruin's own and wagged happily against Bruin's chest under his plaintive thrusts. As her new hindquarters rearranged themselves, her genitalia quickly gained the tensile flexibility needed to admit Bruin's turgid knot. His efforts were now beginning to part her aching sex further and further with each thrust, going deeper and deeper, until finally Kya's arched her back, and Bruin let out a triumphant yap as his member slid completely into her and they were tied passionately together. Bruin's thrusts began to rock both of their bodies in a fervent synchronous motion as Kya began whimpering blissfully at a new and mysterious sense of pleasure developing in her groin.
Beyond the sheer bliss of being perfectly filled and bound to Bruin who was squirming in ecstasy as he neared his climax, Kya felt another equally pleasurable sensation forming in between her new furred thighs. There was a swelling sensation that made her groan with pleasure as she felt two soft furred orbs form just in font of her occupied female sex. Her newly formed testicles in their furry white container slowly pressed up against Bruin's own tight sack as he squirmed about on top of Kya, readying himself and then howling as he began to ejaculate. Kya whined in pleasure, but as Bruin continued to fill her there was something new that demanded release.
A thick sheath began to form above Kya's new testes, and with each jilted spasm of their shared climax it swelled bigger until a red member began to poke forth along her smooth furred belly. Her female sex clamped down on Bruin's maleness as she began pumping her hips; each of her heartbeats causing her new member to swell larger. This new pressure prolonged Bruin's climax, forcing him to work to force out every last drop of his seed. His eyes closed as he brought his head down along side his master turned lover's, huffing in her tufted ears as their heavy pantings synchronized. Kya's new member pulsed larger and the base began to swell into a tight knot as her proud new member bobbed below her. She squirmed her hips as a new rising sensation grew in her clenched testes.
In their combined wild throes of passion her member just lightly brushed the stump under her, and the world exploded in a burst of pleasure. Her proud new member spasmed and began to let loose jet after jet of thick white animal seed onto the stump and ground below her. She whimpered as her body tightened, and then relaxed in utter bliss. With this stimulation, Bruin was finally able to reach satisfaction; making one final thrust as he stood on the very tips of his paws letting loose the last of his essence into Kya. After a last strained whine of pleasure, Bruin huffed happily, his seemingly insatiable urges finally sated. Kya slowly took her front paws off of the stump panting heavily, mind racing to comprehend all of the things that had just happened.
They remained tied together, but Bruin licked her ear and gently shifted his weight to the side. They awkwardly lay down thumping onto their sides with Kya still lying in-between Bruin's legs, fitting perfectly into the concave of his white furred stomach with her now grey furred back. She reached her head up along his neck and gave his chin a playful lick. He shifted his weight and bent inwards, bringing them even close together, still panting softly. Kya realized that her life and body were now completely changed as she lay on the ground with her former pet. But, she now realized that she had a stronger bond to Bruin than . . . anything else, even her old life. With her newfound loyalty she realized that she would do anything to keep Bruin from harm, and he had just proven his feelings for her by saving her life in this ponderous way. . .
As Bruin craned his neck to see his mate's new form, both powerful and appealing, Kya buried her muzzle in Bruin's neck ruff and inhaled his reassuring scent. They both knew that they would be happy, so long as they had each other.
