As Vorkax was driven in the jeep through the hastily made dirt road he looked through the paper that he had taken from the airport he had been picked up from, the front page plastered with a picture of an ancient temple that had been found recently in the jungle. It had been one of the greatest finds in recent history and the news was buzzing about it for a week now, if only because the one involved in its cataloguing and excavation claimed that it was the burial chamber of the god Quetzalcoatl. It had been such an outlandish claim that people were still trying to decide if it was true, the researcher was doing it merely for headlines, or if the man was as insane as some of his peers believed him to be.

He was going to be seeing for himself soon enough, the wolf-dragon thought to him curling a finger around one of his short whiskers as the wind blew through his brown and purple mane. He was an archeologist that specialized in identification of biological creatures, something that up until recently the site had no use for. The fact that they had shipped him nearly halfway around the world meant that they had something there for him to examine, though whether or not it’s the remains of an ancient deity remained to be seen. While he was pretty sure that he wouldn’t be in the presence of an ancient god Vorkax was keen to see what they might have found in the realm of a previously undiscovered ancient creature.

When he arrived at the ancient temple Vorkax saw all the usual trappings of an archeological site, though as they pulled up to the main tent he saw surprised to see the other members of the team sitting there instead of being inside. When he inquired to the driver if he knew what was going on the buffalo man just shrugged his shoulders and told him to get out, which the hybrid was keen to do after he grabbed his bags. “You must be the bio-archeologist!” a voice called out as soon as the truck drove off, Vorkax turning to see a lion man standing there. “My name is Dr. Benjamin Stone, though you can just call me Ben.”

“Vorkax,” the hybrid replied in greeting as he shook the lion’s hand. “Are you the one that found the specimen?”

“Indeed I did!” Ben replied proudly. “I was working with a small group in the left-hand side of the temple when we dug into a new chamber that we hadn’t even seen on the scans. It’s almost as big as the main hall and as soon as we saw what was inside I told the others to stop working and back out.”

“So that’s why no one is working,” Vorkax said as he was brought into the ancient temple, marveling at the vine-covered stone. Even without any sort of scientific dating process he could tell that this structure was probably thousands of years old. “Was the chamber deemed unsafe?”

“Hell no,” Ben quickly retorted as he pointed to a video camera that was set up in the front entrance. “I know that when finds like these are made people like to say that we messed with the bones or something like that, so after I had evacuated everyone I put the camera up to show that no one has been in or out of that temple since that time. That way you can say that there was no means of tampering with the site when you take a look at what we got in there.”

As Vorkax looked behind his shoulder he could already see that the others were starting to get their gear ready, no doubt eager to get back to their own findings as one man in particular came up to join them. “Now that your guy is here why don’t we just go in and keep going?” the bull asked, which prompted the lion to shake his head and the bull to snort his nostrils. “You’re killing us here Ben, some of us have grants on the line and we haven’t been able to work for three days!”

“Another half hour isn’t going to change anything Daniel,” Ben replied, which caused the bull man to toss down his shovel in frustration and head back towards the group.

“You know, you don’t have to hold up the entire process just for me,” Vorkax stated as they walked inside the building, the warm, humid atmosphere replaced with surprisingly cool and dry air. “I’ve seen the precautions that you’ve taken to preserve the integrity of the site, I can say that no one tampered with it.”

“Don’t worry about Daniel,” Ben said with a chuckle. “He’s just angry because he had to postpone his findings report, which is where he earns the big bucks on this site. That man is just in it for the money, but if you insist then as soon as we get to the room I’ll go back and tell the others that they can start coming in to work while you examine the find.”

Vorkax nodded and the two made their way past the lights that had been set up and got to a large hole in the back wall. It was surrounded by a mural of some sort of snake creature and it made the wolf-dragon wonder if that was what possibly prompted Ben to announce that he may have found Quetzalcoatl himself. When they got to the edge of the wall he also saw that someone had used tape to keep anyone from entering, though the lion promptly ripped it down. Since they hadn’t gotten lighting in there yet it was pitch black and Vorkax turned on his flashlight before venturing inside.

The first thing that hit the hybrid was a musty odor, and as he shined the light around the cavern he could see exactly where it came from. His eyes widened as he scanned the large cylindrical room and found that most of it was taken up by a massive skeleton made up of countless bones. Though it was hard to see any individual one it looked like they all formed the body of a tubular creature, though there were other appendages near the front of the body that looked somewhat like wings. All of that came together at the head which was a huge fanged snake, the skull big enough that Vorkax could probably stand inside if he wanted too.

Once the seal had been broken Ben shouted back that he needed people to come in to set up the lights and that everyone else could get back to work. Though a few like Daniel had nearly ran over the others to get back to his site there were those that took to setting up the lights so that they didn’t need to examine everything by flashlight. Within the span of an hour the entire room was lit up and Vorkax was able to investigate the room without the need for any external light. As the rest of the workers and researchers left the area they had just set up in order to work on their own excavations Ben continued to stick around and watch as the hybrid began to examine the bones.

The entire process took hours to do since the skeleton was so huge, day turning to night outside of the ruins as Vorkax took tiny samples in order to collaborate with the findings that he had gleaned upon closer examination. He had started at the tail and was just about to start with the head when he heard a noise and looked back to see that Ben standing there with two trays. “Thought that you might want to take a break,” Ben stated as they sat down on a nearby set of stones in order to eat. “Now I know that you probably are still doing your studying but I have to ask… is it what I think it is?”

There was a moment of silence as Vorkax wasn’t sure what to say, but as he continued to not answer he could see the lion’s face starting to fall more and more and decided to just let the other man know. “I’m sorry Ben, but this isn’t the skeleton of a long-dead god,” Vorkax explained as he gestured to the body. “From what I can tell this thing is made of the bones of dozens, maybe hundreds of animals that were stitched together to just make the appearance of it.”

“I… I guess I should have known better,” Ben said, the lion stopping as they heard a loud snort and turned to see Daniel walking away while laughing before he shook his feline head. “Never going to hear the end of this, I just felt deep down that this was it, you know? Finally some proof of the supernatural that was beyond a reasonable doubt.”

“Well, I mean, I’m not quite done with my findings yet,” Vorkax quickly tried to say to the dejected lion. “That snake skull is rather large, it’s going to be hard to prove but I can’t imagine that being made up of an amalgamation of bones like the body was.”

Ben just nodded and ate the rest of his food in silence, then took the dragon-wolf’s plate when he was done and silently left the cavern. He could tell that the lion was crushed by the findings… but he wasn’t quite sure what he was expecting, except possibly that this really was the long-lost tomb of an ancient deity. The fact that those that used to live in this area had constructed such a thing in order to honor their god was a find in itself, plus he still had to inspect the giant snake head that was at the front of it. Though he suspected that it was probably not an actual skull and probably a sculpture Vorkax had saved it for last in his initial findings due to the sheer curiosity of it.

After taking a few minutes to make sure his previous findings were recorded in his laptop he went over to the large snake skull with his tool kit and examined it. As he put his fingers on one of the large fangs he found the surface he found it to be impossibly smooth, but it did feel like bone to him. He tapped it with his finger and found the fang to be hollow as well, an incredible detail if this was sculpted as the wolf-dragon carefully made his way past the other teeth as well. As he made sure not to poke himself on the still sharp-looking teeth of the skull it felt to Vorkax like he was being eaten by this creature, a thought that caused him to chuckle before he pulled himself completely inside of it and drew his tail in.

Even with the lights set up around the area the inside of the skull was rather dark, which prompted Vorkax to pull out a pocket flashlight he carried on him in order to examine the inside more carefully. He had been hoping for some sort of carvings or engravings inside but all he found was more of the same smooth bone. There were no cracks of flaws that he could find either and that caused the archeologist to continue to believe that he wasn’t inside of a skull at all, which he knew would devastate the lion even more as he wrote down his findings in his tablet. Just as he was about to finish up however a droplet of black liquid dripped down onto his screen, causing Vorkax to look at it in confusion and wipe it off with his sleeve before a second droplet fell on it once again followed quickly by a third, then a fourth…

The hybrid looked up and let out a gasp as the white, polished surface of the bone suddenly had black rivulets of a thick, viscous goo that not only started to drip down on him but was also quickly coating the inside of the skull he was in. Had he sprung some sort of ancient trap when he stepped inside of the skull? He didn’t want to find out what the goo would do to him and tried to make his way back out of the mouth, only to see that the same substance was pouring out of the fangs had caused almost a curtain of the substance to hang between the teeth. This wasn’t good, Vorkax thought to himself as he backed away, his only way was blocked and the back of the skull was blocked by a wall of bone.

Just as Vorkax thought about pushing forward and dealing with the consequences of being covered in strange goo later he felt himself nearly fall over as something wrapped around his ankle. He looked down just in time to see that the bottom of the skull had completely filled with the substance and had started to defy gravity in order to snake its way up his pant leg, which had promptly started to dissolve upon contact with the liquid. At first the hybrid thought that his worst fears had been confirmed and this was some sort of acid, but as he felt the viscous substance continue to travel up his increasingly exposed leg he didn’t feel any pain that came from it. It was quite the opposite in fact… whatever the goo was composed of seemed to have an almost aphrodisiac effect that was counter to the fear he was experiencing of being trapped inside of this skull.

With his head looking down at his legs Vorkax didn’t even see that more tentacles had formed from the top of the skull until one of them landed on the back of his head with a wet plop. As he felt the substance soak into his mane he tried to reach up and pull the goo off of him, only for his hands to get stuck in the thick column of ooze that quickly poured over his head and down his neck. The covered wolf-dragon gasped loudly as he felt two smaller tendrils push their way into his ears, which another tentacle took advantage of and pushed its way into his maw. Vorkax’s cries for help turned into loud gurgles as his face disappeared underneath the thick substance as more oozed over it and down his shoulders to eat away at his shirt.

As the last tatters of his clothing dropped away Vorkax could no longer see what was happening to him as the goo completely covered him from the shoulders down, but as he felt more of his exposed body being covered something else began to happen in his mind. The tendrils that had slipped their way into his transformed ears had started to coat his brain, and as the thick substance oozed over his hips and began to push into his tailhole he could start to see things in his mind’s eye. This creature… this really was Quetzalcoatl, but he was not the god that people believed him to be. People did worship him, but this creature was a monster… a corruptive agent that would envelop entire towns just like it was doing to him as he felt his already hard cock get coated while jutting completely out.

Quetzalcoatl was no stranger to pleasure as the tentacles began to squeeze and press inside of him, Vorkax’s body quivering as the tentacle in his maw and tailhole took on a phallic nature and began to pump into him. As his throat and stomach bulged the goo continued to collect within the skull and also started to leak outside of it, the power of the god reconstituting itself around the one inside. At the same time the trapped archeologist could see the ancients finally recognizing the threat and capturing the creature that had taken so many of them, sealing him away in this place and building the surrounding structures around it to keep anyone from finding the true secret of this place. Too late the goo-covered body of the creature realized that this wasn’t a temple dedicated to the serpent god…

…this was his prison.

But as more of his own skull was filled with the corruptive substance Vorkax could feel his thoughts shifting, his mind sympathizing with the creature as his body became indistinguishable from the column of goo that had coated it. The only thing that could still even be seen was his cock, and as the trapped creature was pushed further into the throes of pleasure it began to thicken and widen until it was almost as big as what his body used to be. All he could focus on though was the need that this goo was infusing him with, corrupting him inside and out to make him believe that this skull was his own, that he was Quetzalcoatl. As Vorkax continued to lose himself in the power of the god that had assimilated him the goo that his body had become shifted and stretched him, keeping his massive cock on the lower jaw that his legs merged into while his head and upper body were pulled higher into the skull.

No, his skull, the mutating creature within thought to himself as he felt his cock still growing even as he lost definition in the hips that had attempted to keep thrusting it forward. As his body was being reshaped the powerful psyche that infiltrated the mind of Vorkax molded him to think that he was the brain of this creature, that he was the one that had been imprisoned and was about to be rescued. Outside of the skull the head of the massive creature continued to reform until it was looking more serpentine in nature by the second, the goo solidifying into dark green scales as a black tongue pushed its way out past the reforming lips. That caused what remained of Vorkax to quiver as his own cock had become the tongue of this huge being, merging with the god and causing waves of pleasure to crash down on him and erode his willpower away until the only thing left of the creature was the imprint of the false god as a serpentine eye on the completely reconstituted skull opened its golden orb…

Meanwhile the cries of the archeologist had not gone unheard; the crew that was closest to the tomb had gathered up and made their way inside of the room where they had heard Vorkax yell for help. As they looked around the area though they didn’t see any sign of the archeologist, the only thing that was different was that some of the lights had been knocked over and the huge skeleton had shifted slightly. With the spotlights down the crew of twelve had to turn on their flashlights in order to see what was going on deeper in, many of them grumbling at the work they were going to have to do as they tried to see what was going on. Their frustration turned to concern though as they called out the name of the researcher only to get nothing in response as they got closer to the skeleton.

“Where do you think he went?” a leopard man asked his lizard coworker as they got up closer to the skeleton itself while the others fanned out more.

“Beats me,” the lizard man replied with a sigh. “All I know is that this is going to put us even more behind and Daniel is going to have our asses for it. He already doesn’t think that this place is worth looking into and wants us to catalogue-“

The lizard man was cut short as they heard someone cry out, both their heads turning to see the three that had ventured closer to the head of the skeleton. Several of the crew had been working to get the lights back up and had pointed the ones they got up in that direction to show the three as they were lifted up into the air before being pulled towards it. The others looked on in shock as they saw that the skeleton was leaking some sort of black goo that had pooled around it with several including the lizard and leopard looking down to see that they had stepped into the puddle themselves, and that the head of the skeleton was no longer such as its tongue continued to flick out into the air in an act of pure self-stimulation. Everyone was far more focused on the three workers that had been captured however as their clothing was melted off their bodies while being pulled into the bones.

The new god still needed a body; fortunately there were plenty around to give him such as more tentacles reached out to those that were within its grasp while it worked on the other three. Those that he had first captured began to squirm as the gooey tentacles pushed into their mouths and tailholes, also stimulating their cocks as the ones that were pressed around their limbs began to merge with them. As soon as the goo touched an area of their bodies it began to lose definition; one of the captured workers that had pressed their head against the chest of the other had their muzzle knit right into the flesh, causing his exposed eye to widen as he sank into the thickening pectorals of the other man whose mouth had the corruptive substance oozing out of it. The other had the misfortune of being pulled up between the legs of the one whose head was trapped and as the throbbing cock pushed up against the back of his head he could feel it pushing inside, causing his groans to become muffled as it continued to push forward and stretch out the beak of the avian worker before it let loose a jet of thick black goo that coated his face and began to melt the features.

It didn’t take much to trap the others in the same situation and the new Quetzalcoatl could feel their body starting to take form as the goo covered bodies stretched over the bones of his form to become his new insides. As his power flowed through and corrupted their bodies the oozing creatures continued to merge together to form scales and muscle, turning them into his form as he felt his neck and lower body start to reconstruct itself. For the first time in ages he finally had a body again, and though what was left of Vorkax was stunned as others joined him in this creature all it took was a few licks of the sensitive flesh of his forked tongue to bring him back under the thrall of pleasure and put him back into his new mindset. With each joining body into his form he felt more like his old self, a smile forming on the snake god’s face as his neck was completely reformed while his body followed suit.

With the emphasis on his lower form Quetzalcoatl had enough where he could start to move, though with only twelve there was still quite a bit exposed on his body. One thing that caused his vanity to show through though was the desire to have his brilliant wings, which he was about to take care of as the lizard and leopard were pulled upwards towards his back. Already their clothing had been completely melted away but nothing had merged with them yet, though as soon as their feet were pressed against the oozing bone of the snake god their toes and feet immediately melted into it and planted them there. Both of them had become completely enthralled by the power soaking into their forms and as Quetzalcoatl slithered out into the main room the two had rainbow feathers push out of their goo-coated bodies, their muzzles pushing out and lengthening as their necks followed suit along with their outstretched limbs as their quivering mutated forms were morphed into new appendages.

Meanwhile Ben and Daniel had been the only ones that weren’t in the temple, the two continuing to argue about timetables until they heard screaming coming from the inside that prompted them both to stop what they were doing and run inside. As soon as they ran through the door both skidded to a stop at what they saw; a massive gooey snake sat near the entrance where they had just entered, but as the sunlight glinted off the scales they could see those that were part of the dig crews sticking out of it. Some were almost completely embedded in the body with what looked like a layer of goo coating them while others were still struggling, their bodies half sticking out until the tentacles that were wrapped around them continued to pull them in. Most of Quetzalcoatl’s body was completely restored at this point as the goo that the creatures were merging into coated the rest of him, including his rainbow wings as they dripped with the corruptive essence as the last of the lizard and leopard’s body disappeared into them.

Both the lion and bull turned to run from the amalgamation of their workers, but before they could even start to leave two larger tentacles wrapped around them and dragged them back. “You don’t think I would let you leave without joining the party,” Quetzalcoatl hissed, a shiver going down his body as he brought them to the one thing he had yet to reform. “I have you two to thank the most for freeing me, so I reserved special places of honor for the both of you.”

Ben’s claws scraped against the stone as he tried to stop himself from being pulled towards the obvious slit that still was bordered by the merged goo arms of several assimilated men, but eventually he was twisted over and dragged all the way in. As soon as his feet were pulled into the slit he could feel the goo press against them, oozing over his paws as Daniel had already been assimilated up to the point that a tentacle was slithering into his tailhole and his lower body was covered in scales. “Oh god, I see what he’s going to do to us,” Daniel exclaimed as he turned to Ben, the black substance already leaking out of his eyes, ears, and nostrils while the bulge in his gut pushed its way up to his neck. “No, not spending eternity next to himmrrrgghhh…”

The bull’s words became garbled as the tentacle inside of him pushed its way upwards, but as Ben could see it wiggle in his throat it merged with it as the bovine features were coated by the goo that oozed out of his head. The lion didn’t have long to think about it though as he felt his own tentacle slide into him, spreading him open and filling his naked body with pure pleasure while the tatters of his clothing fell down around him. As he saw the horns melt into the increasingly serpentine visage that Daniel was adopting Ben could already feel the corruption filling him, his somewhat rotund stomach bloating out even further as he was penetrated deep by the tentacle that was assimilating him. As the transforming bull let out a hiss the forms of the dig grew had mostly disappeared within the creature, Quetzalcoatl letting out a loud laugh as he felt his power’s fully manifest once more with the addition of his two snake cocks.

Quetzalcoatl was more than pleased with his hosts at this point, the knowledge that came from all of them including Ben and Daniel being filtered up into his head while he watched the lion’s eyes become glazed over with lust as the transforming tentacle pushed out his chest. By this point the bull was no more, instead there was a thick, heavy snake cock that drooled more of the corruptive goo as lust and desire continued to cloud his thoughts just like the other one that was right behind him. Though the snake god had thought about keeping the mane on the other creature he decided to make them identical, the two not knowing who was who as the feline muzzle stretched and contorted while his tongue split at the tip and morphed into something more snake-like. Soon Quetzalcoatl was staring at two snake-headed cocks that began to twist and coil around one another as their petty thoughts of time tables were replaced with only one thing, both of them orgasming with black goo that poured out of their maws as the last of the faces that stretched out while their serpentine bodies disappeared completely.

Not a bad start, Quetzalcoatl thought to himself as he felt the consciousnesses of those that he had absorbed continue to feel the pleasure that came from their merging. He knew that their minds could continue to be filled with the images of their limbs flowing into one another, of the more lustful having cocks they were sucking meld with their tongues before the rest of their heads followed suit. Eventually they won’t even remember who they were, much like his snake cocks that had finished their climax as the goo they expelled was reabsorbed into his body. As he slithered out into the light of the sun for the first time in centuries he took his two cocks and pulled them back in, not wanting to be distracted as he used the assimilated knowledge to decide where to go next.

Quetzalcoatl smiled as he found with the knowledge of the creature that had become his brain that no one knew of what he really was, which was just fine for the snake god as he flapped his wings and made his way towards the nearest village. While his body was fine for now he knew that he could get back to his former glory, it would just require many to be absorbed into him for it to happen…
