Aurum huffed as he pulled himself up from the cliff that he had been climbing up, feeling the cold wind blow through his white and gold-striped fur as the tiger got himself over the edge. When he finally felt hard stone against his back he gave himself a second to regain his breath as he slowly got himself back up onto his feet. Once more he felt a strong breeze roll off of the mountaintop and through his body as he looked back at the progress he had made, seeing the small cottage that he and his friends had rented looking more like something from a board game with how high up he was. While he hadn’t intended on climbing this far he had seen some ancient writing that interested him enough to follow it, though it had led him up until he was nearly at the top of the mountain as he took a drink from his canteen.

Well… mountain wasn’t really a good word for it, Aurum thought to himself, more like a rather tall, somewhat rocky hill. As he looked around he saw a rather large stone about half as tall as him with more of the writing on it, and though he couldn’t tell what it was he saw pictographs there as well. It was the same pictures as the ones lower down; mainly a picture of a tree with a serpentine figure wrapped around it, which Aurum remembered from local legend was the image of a god known as Quetzalcoatl. He was known for being the keeper of great knowledge and some believed that this myth was what inspired others including one found in most religious textbooks regarding a serpent and apple. At first the tiger thought that was a bit of a stretch but when he saw the stone tablet while gathering wood for his cottage retreat with his friends he saw the markings and couldn’t believe it, though at that moment he was more wondering what these markers were leading him to as he went up to the cave that was next to the stone and peeked inside.

The tiger was surprised to find that he could actually see light at the other end, which made it more of a large stone arch than a cave as he ventured inside to see what was on the other side. Though he could see around Aurum took out his phone and shined his flashlight on the walls to see that there were even more pictographs and ancient writing that he couldn’t understand. From the drawings alone it seemed that the snake, which he believed was supposed to be Quetzalcoatl, was the protector of the fruit which is believed to be knowledge. It made him wonder if on the other side of this cave he would find something like old scrolls or perhaps more of these stone tablets with writing on them.

What Aurum didn’t expect when he got to the other side was to find an actual apple tree that sat in the middle of a small patch of grass. With the way the stone walls of the mountain formed around this place it provided shelter from the blistering cold wind and was actually rather warm as the feline stepped inside. As he got closer to the tree he also saw a small stream that ran along the edge of the clearing, which likely along with the rainfall from above was what kept the place looking as green as it did. As Aurum did a quick walk around the open cavern he didn’t see anything else but the tree, though as he went to inspect it up close he did find another stone marker that was embedded in the roots of it.

This one was unlike the others in that it was written in a variety of languages, including his own as he knelt down. “Take the blessing of Quetzalcoatl into you to have the knowledge of the serpent,” Aurum read out loud. “Become his avatar to spread the gift of knowledge far and wide.”

The blessing of Quetzalcoatl… as Aurum looked up he noticed the apples that hung from the branches looked quite ripe and delicious, which made him wonder if these were even in season. He felt a grumble in his stomach and also realized he hadn’t eaten since he started his quest, which prompted him to jump up and grab one of the apples that hung low enough for him to reach. He plucked it easily enough and when he sat down against the tree itself he examined the rather large fruit. A part of him wondered if perhaps this was even safe to eat, but the tiger had never heard of a poisoned apple before and finally just bit into the soft flesh.

As soon as the juices dripped into his mouth Aurum’s eyes widened slightly as he suddenly became aware that this apple tree definitely shouldn’t be able to grow in these types of conditions, and that even if it could its fruit wouldn’t be close to ripe. As his teeth slowly sank further into the apple he also recognized that the writing he had seen earlier was ancient and that it read of the myth of Quetzalcoatl, saying that the garden would only reveal itself to those that were worthy of the winged serpent’s knowledge. As he finished taking a piece and started to chew it he also figured out how far he had traveled and what time it was just from the position of the shadows on the wall. As soon as he thought of something he knew what the answer was, even to questions that he had never even dreamed of asking as he found himself taking another bite.

One thing that was at the forefront of Aurum’s mind was that the myth of Queztalcoatl was no mere story, he was standing right where the winged serpent had slithered as he took another chuck of apple into his mouth. The sensation of knowledge was almost addicting and the more he ate the more such facts seemed to be right at his fingertips, which he hadn’t realized were starting to get shorter as apple juice trickled down the fur of his chin and matted it. Aurum was too busy exploring how tidal motion could affect ship hull integrity to realize that he had started to grow scales around his lips and his teeth were starting to become even sharper. If anything it made tearing into the fruit much easier as he became enlightened on everything from ancient to modern as his ears began to droop on his head.

It wasn’t until Aurum had eaten all the way down to the core that he realized something was happening to him, mostly due to his fumbling with it and causing it to drop down to the ground. As he bent over to pick it up he found his fingers were unusually stiff and as he brought them to his face he was shocked to see that they were disappearing right before his eyes! It was like someone had cut them off at the first knuckle except it looked like they never even existed, and as even those began to disappear he could feel his arms thinning as well. This was impossible… except as soon as he thought of it he realized that in eating from the tree of Queztalcoatl he had taken on the mantle of the god’s avatar, which included his form…

…the form of a limbless snake.

As Aurum stumbled over towards the fountain he tripped slightly and saw one of his shoes sitting behind him, and as he looked down at his foot he noticed that it had lost all of its toes and some of its definition. He quickly kicked off the other one before it could trip him up and found it was rather easy to do, especially since his other foot was shrinking as well. This was not something that he had signed up for, the transforming tiger thought to himself as he got closer to the stream as he felt fur falling off of his head, but with his growing grasp of knowledge he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it. When he got to the water he was just in time to see his ears flatten to the point where they merged with the exposed skin of his head, watching his white and gold fur disappear and was replaced with brilliant green that retained the golden stripes on the new scales.

As Aurum tried to continue to move forward he found himself stumbling more and more until finally he could no longer stand and fell down. Fortunately the grass was very soft as his attempt to brace himself made him realize his arms had shrunken to half their size and were being pulled into his thickening torso. The transforming feline panted heavily as he looked back to see that both legs of his shorts were deflated and lying there flat against the ground. It wasn’t hard to see where all that mass went however as his normally ropy tail was rapidly thickening and stretching out, feeling his spine pulling like taffy as he found the last of his legs pulling out from his shorts and leaving him completely bare from the waist down.

Aurum let out a hiss from his rounded muzzle, which had almost completely become a serpentine snout by this point, and as his forked tongue flicked past his lips he saw something else that caused his eyes to widen. The pleasure from his changes had caused his cock to become erect, but with his shorts having been nearly dropped around his ankles until he had fallen over he hadn’t noticed the extent of his changes to his groin until that moment. As the cleft where his legs normally would have been divided was filled in and sealed over with bright white belly scales he saw not one but two throbbing shafts that jutted out from the new slit that surrounded them. A hemipenis… of course, that was what snakes normally had in the means of reproductive tools as Aurum tried to reach them but found himself wiggling the stubs of his arms as they receded back into his shirt.

That knowledge of snake anatomy had flowed so naturally into his mind it reminded Aurum of all the knowledge that he had gained, and as his newly enhanced mind came up with a solution to his predicament it put a smile on his muzzle. With his torso thickening and melding with what was left of his arms he slithered forward out of his shirt, feeling the fabric rub against his scales for the last time as he easily pulled himself out of the garment and let it lie right next to his shorts. Even with his body being much bigger than that of a normal snake it was almost silly how big his clothing was compared to him, watching his completely limbless body form a bulge in the garments as the last of his fur was assimilated into green and gold striped scales with a white underbelly. There would be no way for him to wear anything back down the mountain and with a lack of hands he couldn’t carry it either as his twin shafts pushed up the fabric of his shirt before he flipped over and slithered out of them completely.

There would be no need for such clothing, the snake thought to himself as he curled around and used the newfound flexibility of his body in order to lick his forked tongue around one of the two shafts. The feeling that shot through his entire form was amazing and he found that the information he got was not just limited to factual knowledge either. As the last of his feline features disappeared with his teeth becoming a pair of fangs and the scale covered lumps that had been his arms and legs fully pulling into his tubular body he teased and sucked on himself until his new body was practically vibrating with desire. As he continued to pleasure himself his lustful mind did note that there was one thing that he didn’t get from the snake god of knowledge, though Aurum surmised as his head bobbed up and down on his hemipenis that the rainbow wings were reserved for Quetzalcoatl himself and he was merely his avatar to spread the knowledge.

Spread the knowledge… as those words reverberated in his mind Aurum pulled his head back off of himself and looked back up at the tree. As soon as the thought had crossed his lustful mind he realized that he had the ability to share this gift that he had been given, and it wouldn’t require him to lead others back to the tree. The essence of Quetzalcoatl flowed through his transformed body and as he slithered over to the nearby stream to look at himself he saw a pair of rainbow hued serpentine eyes staring back at him. They almost glowed with power and as he continued to gain better control over the muscles of his new snake body he was able to coil over himself much like a real snake as he used the knowledge of such a form to his benefit.

Without having a tape measurer Aurum guessed that he was about ten feet long, maybe twelve, with his brilliant scales shimmering in the sun that came in from above. Except for the unnatural luster of his scales and his eyes one might suspect that he was just some normal constrictor snake, albeit a very large one as he turned to leave the cavern. With everything he wanted inside of him the avatar of Quetzalcoatl made his way out of the cave and to the mountainside that he had come up as a feline. As Aurum felt the wind blow against his scales he didn’t feel the cold that he had felt before either and what would normally hinder most reptiles, another gift no doubt given to him by his deific patron as he began to make his way down the mountain in order to visit his friends…

Back down at the cabin Mikalos brought down his axe in order to split the log that sat on top of the stump, letting out a grunt of frustration as he managed to just split off a piece of it. While it wasn’t necessary for heating he wanted to get a fire going in the fireplace of the place they rented out, but none of the wood had come split in order to put it in. That meant that they would have to do it, but since none of them had actually held an axe before they were finding it hard to handle. Fortunately they didn’t have to bring in the logs from anywhere as the wolf looked from the wood shed at the pile that obfuscated him from the rest of the house.

Perhaps there would be no fire tonight, Mikalos thought to himself as he gave it one more swing and succeeded only in knocking the log off of the stump and causing it to spin right into the wood pile. Just as the wolf threw the axe down in pure frustration he froze when he heard a low hissing noise that came from the nearby bushes. It sounded like a snake, but he didn’t think that there were any such creatures that existed in this area as he looked around. It was starting to get dark, which made it very hard to see, but as he continued to scan the area he thought he saw movement before something brushed up against his leg.

“You should really widen your stance a bit if you’re going to try and chop wood like that,” a low voice said as Mikalos suddenly felt something heavy wrap around his ankle and pull his leg back, causing him to stumble slightly as the confused wolf looked down and let out a sharp gasp of surprise. A snake larger than he had ever seen before had somehow managed to curl around his leg and anchor him to the spot, but what was even more shocking was that it appeared to have the ability to speak, and when it looked up it had a smile on its muzzle while it stared at him with distinctly alien eyes. “If you brace yourself and swing back perpendicular to your body you let the momentum cut the wood instead of trying to do it with brute strength.”

“Wh… what are you?” Mikalos asked, trying not to panic even as this creature could clearly talk and communicate with him it didn’t lessen the fact that a rather large snake had continued to coil up his body as his breathing quickened. “I-I really didn’t want to come here, I swear, I just…”

“Relax Mikalos,” Aurum said with a slight chuckle as he finally curled his way up the wolf’s body until he could reach his head and rubbed against his furry cheek. “I would ask how you couldn’t recognize your old friend Aurum but I have undergone a rather drastic transformation.”

“N-no way,” Mikalos said as he tried to take a step back, only to realize that the snake’s form had wrapped around his lower body to the point where he couldn’t move his legs anymore as the scales pressed against the bare fur of his shins. “Is this some sort of joke? Are you controlling some sort of robotic snake drone or something?”

“That would be quite the elaborate prank,” Aurum replied with a laugh, though it came out as more of a hiss as he continued to squeeze the creature. “Up until about an hour ago I would have said such a thing is impossible, but I could tell you now exactly how to build one if you would like. I could actually show you a lot of things, a wealth of knowledge that I found up at that mountain…”

With his body completely coiled around the black-furred wolf he could tell that he was starting to relax even with a massive snake that has wrapped itself around his body. “This same knowledge… turned you into a snake?” Mikalos asked, Aurum nodding back as the fear and confusion slowly shifted to curiosity on the lupine face. “But how? I’m still trying to grasp the fact that I have a talking snake wrapped around me and I’m still not a hundred percent sure that you’re not going to eat me.”

Aurum explained as succulently as he could about the tree that he had found during his hike in the mountains, how he had eaten the fruit of Quetzalcoatl and gained the knowledge that was stored within it while also becoming an avatar of the snake god. Though he attempted to keep it slow and simple more than once the snake could see the wolf look at him in confusion or tilt his head, but the most important thing was that he continued to remain ignorant to what his coils were doing. Using the knowledge he had gained he had slowly been flexing his muscles in order to keep the wolf in an even more relaxed state and had been bobbing his head back and forth to put Mikalos into a light trance. It was nothing major, but for what Aurum had planned next he wanted to make sure that the wolf would be more receptive to the offer as he finished up his story.

“Wow, so you went up the mountain as a tiger and came down as a snake god’s avatar,” Mikalos replied, not realizing that his head had been slowly tilting back and forth in time with the snake’s head that continued to lock gaze with those colorful rainbow serpent eyes. “And you just have all the knowledge of the world right at your fingertips? I mean... um…”

Aurum chuckled as he could see Mikalos blush at that, though Aurum was more focused on the tent that was forming in the shorts of the wolf as the snake continued to subtly stimulate him. “I do have access to everything, yes,” Aurum replied as he allowed his voice to become more sensual, which caused the wolf to grow flustered for an entirely different reason. “It’s not always present but if I need to know anything then the information just pops into my head for me to use. There is also one other thing that I can do with it.”

“What’s that?” Mikalos asked, trying not to swallow hard as Aurum leaned in.

“I can share it,” Aurum replied before he leaned forward and kissed Mikalos right on the muzzle. He could see the wolf’s eyes widen briefly before they became half-lidded as he got a taste of the knowledge that the snake held in his head, though as quickly as he saw it the information evaporated from his mind. The connection grew briefly stronger as Aurum pushed his forked tongue past the other man’s lips but the intention wasn’t to share anything with him, merely to show the possibility of what he could have when he finally did make the offer.

The two remained that way for a few minutes before Aurum arched his body back and left the wolf panting. “That was… incredible,” Mikalos stated as he tried to put his hands to his head, only to find that Aurum had wrapped his body around them and pinned them to his sides. “I saw so many things, so much that I’ve wanted to know right there in front of me. But… I also can’t remember any of it.”

“The gifts of Quetzalcoatl cannot just be harvested like that,” Aurum replied as he took his coils and expertly began to shift the shorts of the wolf down, Mikalos not even noticing what was happening except for the feel of those scales shifting against his furred form and causing him to shudder in pleasure. “While I can teach you what you want to know it would also be rather slow, the easiest way for you to get what you want is to become like me. Only avatars of Quetzalcoatl have access to the serpent god’s library, fortunately I’m more than willing to give you all the access that you want.”

Aurum contracted his body slightly to give the wolf a pleasant squeeze around his somewhat rotund midsection, causing Mikalos to let out a slight moan despite himself. Even though he appeared to be tempted by the offer there was still some hesitation in his answer, something the serpent avatar was quick to rectify by taking his lower body and yanking down his shorts. The wolf let out a slight yelp as his cock flopped out into the air, the throbbing member jutting out into the air as the snake allowed his hemipenis to emerge from his slit as well. It was clear the arousal was getting to the wolf and when he asked what it would take in order to get this gift Aurum just smiled and shifted his body so that his shafts were rubbed up against the exposed tailhole just above where his shorts clung to his thighs.

While it wasn’t the only way that Aurum could have transformed Mikalos he knew that this would be the most fun, and from the way that the wolf had start to stroke down his body it was clear that any initial awkwardness from the pairing was evaporating from the horny man’s mind. Aurum had been feeling his own growing lust ever since he had come down from the mountain when he saw his friend standing there, and as he continued to keep himself entwined around the wolf he knew was going to take him right then and there. Even though Mikalos was standing with his arms and legs completely pinned Aurum was still able to put the heads of his twin cocks up against the furred rump of the other man, which he felt cause a shudder to pass through the entirety of his lupine body.

“I… Aurum… do you have… two cocks?” Mikalos asked as Aurum lowered his own head down after looping one of his coils around the wolf’s neck.

“Yes, it’s called a hemipenis,” Aurum said as the smile grew on his muzzle while he lowered himself down to the thick shaft, the snake noting that Mikalos was rather well-endowed as he flicked his forked tongue along the sensitive flesh and caused the wolf to wriggle in his grasp. “You’ll see for yourself soon enough, in more ways than one.”

Before Mikalos could ask any more questions Aurum constricted his body around the wolf, gently applying pressure around his neck and causing a soft gasp to come from his throat. With his newfound information on lupine anatomy he knew exactly how much he could squeeze in order to silence the other man without impeding his breathing, and as he did so he saw the cock in front of him practically bounce from the stimulation. With the wolf restrained there was little that he could do but stand there as the pleasure rolled through his body from the snake licking and nuzzling against his shaft while he felt the hemipenis start to push inside. Though there was normally some preparation that needed to be done the avatar of Quetzalcoatl needed no such thing as he pushed both heads of his twin cocks in at once that caused the wolf to jump while a silent cry came out of his muzzle.

As Aurum began to engulf the thick cock of the wolf in his mouth he could feel something changing about it already, feeling it grow even wider and stretch out his scaled muzzle. When he pulled back after pushing his lips down to the root he could see the sheath of the wolf retracting, forming into a slit as scales started to spread out from the base. A divot had also formed in the throbbing flesh and as he continued to bob up and down he could feel the tip that was starting to slide down into his throat begin to flare out. Aurum loosened his coils enough so that Mikalos could look down and see what was causing such quiver-inducing pleasure and groaned when he saw that the pink flesh of his lupine cock had turned black and split right down the middle to match the ones that were spreading open his tailhole.

Unlike with Aurum the transformation of the wolf was going much faster, aided by the fact that the avatar of Quetzalcoatl was wrapped around his body as his overall physique began to shrink. As fur melted and reformed into shiny black scales his body began to grow thinner; at first it was the fat of his stomach that receded back into his body but as the snake pumped deeper into the stretched tailhole he could feel his shoulders and hips start to grow more compacted as well. As he was pleasured from both sides the wolf’s muzzle began to push back into his skull as well as his ears as they reformed into something more serpentine in nature with every passing second. By the time Aurum had fully hilted inside of Mikalos the tongue that stuck out past his lips had thinned and split at the tip just like his cocks that were in his maw while the snake felt his limbs begin to merge together.

With his neck thickening Mikalos no longer felt the pressure of Aurum’s body against it, though at the moment the snake coiled around his shrinking form was the only thing that kept it up as his clothing became looser against his body. “I can feel it,” Mikalos gasped as his teeth extended into fangs, hissing as he felt the hemipenis slide deeper inside of him from his butt smoothing out and becoming flat scales. “All that knowledge, yessss…”

Mikalos let out a loud, drawn-out hiss as the orgasm that had been sneaking up on him hit him like a ton of bricks, Aurum pulling off the twin cocks just as they began to spurt out the thick seed. It caused the tailhole that had been tightening around his own members to clamp down and prompted the snake to climax as well, and as he pumped his own cum into the transforming wolf he could see the eyes of the other man start to glow with rainbow hues while the pupils lengthened into serpentine slits. By this point the clothing on his black-scaled body was held on only by the one wrapped around him and as they both tumbled to the ground it reminded Aurum of his own outfit he had left up at the mountain. It prompted the orgasm-stricken male to let out a chuckle as Mikalos’ tubular body swelled out while his merging legs pushed his shorts down until they rested at the tip of his new lower body.

The two snakes remained entwined around one another even as Aurum felt his cock get completely pushed out of the other man’s body, the orifice shifting over to an anal vent that was underneath the new set of cocks that Mikalos sported. As their glowing eyes stared at one another there was no need for words to be said; the two could understand each other implicitly like some sort of telepathy that they shared thanks to the power of their new god. Already Aurum could sense the other avatar accessing things just like he had done, feeling the power swelling between them as they added another one to the fold. Once they had a chance to recuperate Mikalos slithered out of his clothing and left it there as the two snakes made their way back towards the cabin in the darkness, hearing another of their friends call out to the former wolf to stop messing around and come back inside.

Both snakes just smiled at each other and slithered into the house, knowing that soon there would be four sets of clothing that would lay abandoned at this place…
