It was the middle of summer with every hunter about to embark on a special journey to a newly discovered region. Most of my friends were eager and ready to make history but me it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Not only was it a great way to make connections but to learn about something new. Sure learning about new monsters always came with a risk. I became a hunter for the simple reason of not getting killed immediately. While I never considered myself a master I could still use a hunting horn pretty effectively. Sure some people laughed but that's something I could get over.

I was always wearing Pukei Pukei armor. Not only did I love the simple design but I helped to hide my face. I hated when people looked at me directly. The sense of unease and anxiety made my heart palpitate. Maybe it was how I was raised or maybe I just hated how I looked. Nothing a pair of goggles and a hood wouldn't fix. Other than the standard equipment you get when starting out as a hunter I had an iron hunting horn and a small stockpile of potions. It was looking to be a long journey and I had to be prepared.

When the time came, my fellow hunters and I got loaded onto this enormous wooden boat. The floor boards creaked under the pressure and soon enough everybody found a spot they were happy with. I found a spot near the side of the ship near the rigging ready to hold on for dear life when this thing starts to rock. I watched down below as some creatures were hooked up to the ship. We were on a sand ship not unlike ones found in oceans. The sand ship needed a lot of monster power to get rolling.

"Hey Will!". I turned around to see one of my squad mates come skipping over. Logan was probably my closest friend. He helped me train a bunch against some Pukei Pukei. While he used a long sword and had full iron gear, we managed to take down some pretty tough customers together. I had been hoping to have him in my party once we reached landfall but I was sure most others could see his talent.

"Hey Logan. Are ya ready to see the new region?" I said leaning back on the railing.

"Yea I can't wait to see what's out there.....and what kind of loot I can get from our expert craftsman. Maybe a sword that can shoot lasers!" He jumped up excitedly.

After reminiscing a bit the large sand boat's sails unfurled and the captain announced we were setting sail. With a forceful pull the ship was off sending the sand flying in two directions. Logan and I laughed as we were thrown against the deck wind rushing over us. It didn't take long to get acclimated to the wind. I was getting even more excited thinking to myself it wouldn't be much longer now!

Hours pass as we dove through the sand dunes. Everyone passed the time in their own unique way. Some arm wrestled, some drank, and some were organizing their inventory. Logan and I just talked and played some card games. Then suddenly the boat shook. We didn't think anything of it of coarse at least until a loud roar pierced the sky. Immediately all of the hunters took up a battle stance drawing their weapons on the ready.

As it descended from the sky, we could see jolts of electricity alongside a powerful aura. It's scales were a dark yellow color, its head had two large horns and two smaller horns along its jaw, and its two massive wings curling the air around it. The wyvern starting to dive at us with bow users and guns opening a volley of arrows and bullets. While the cannons were being set up I actively played melodies for power and stamina.

I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. I felt the air around me become static. I was sure the other hunters felt it too but before we could do anything thunder struck. A loud bolt of electricity struck the middle of the ship hitting a few hunters and blowing back more. I could taste metal in my mouth nearly being paralyzed but my friend Logan was forced to the floor twitching. However the real problem wasn't the fight with the mysterious wyvern. It was now the ship itself.

The lightning damaged the hull so severely that the wood plants were starting to bend inward. A large crack streaming across the deck. Some hunters saw this and immediately abandoned ship. I thought about doing the same but.....I couldn't leave my friend behind. I crouched down next to Logan draping his arm around my shoulders. I tried my best to drag him to the edge of the sinking ship. I could feel it again.....the static in the air. Before I could reach safety, another bolt struck the ship.

While the front half of the ship was pulled apart by the monsters dragging the ship, the back slowly descended into the sand crashing shredding the ship to pieces. It all went dark after that. Maybe it was mercy that I was knocked unconscious during the collision or maybe it was an unlucky event. I wasn't sure how long I was out for but I knew my body hurt like hell.

---

I woke up buried in the sand. Thankfully my Pukei helm gave me some breathing space so I didn't suffocate. Pulling myself out it felt like every muscle in my body was screaming. Checking my bag I saw that most of my items were gone save for one healing potion. I downed it immediately feeling some of the weight relax but I was still very sore especially in my legs. I was happy to have just barely survived.

Looking around I had no idea where I was. Endless oceans of sand were in all directions with dunes. The wreckage of the ship was nearly covered in sand and my weapon was nowhere to be seen. Struggling to my feet I dusted myself off pulling myself free from the sand. "Hello! Is anyone there?!" I yelled hoping that anyone was nearby. No response. I was conflicted on what I should do. Do I wait for help or do I try to find it myself. The answer was clear. I picked a direction and started walking.

I couldn't starve to death waiting on something that may never come. Besides I was sure the hunters already found safety. I only hope Logan survived I couldn't stomach the thought of losing my friend. Fighting through the pain I trekked through the sand hoping to eventually signs of life or maybe a different biome. I was a hunter so I was sure to find something....right?

At least 3 hours went by walking in a straight line through the sand. The moisture on my lips were bone dry and my stomach was growling something fierce. If I didn't get anything in me soon I wasn't sure I'd make it. Utter dread began filling my thoughts. Mixed with totally alone in the middle of nowhere I slowly began running through my past. Sure I didn't accomplish much as a hunter but I could say for certain my life was filled with excitement.

I took a big step forward feeling my foot getting pulled on. I had no energy to resist as my legs were sinking into the sand. The warmth surrounded me as I was swallowed up by the desert. I struggled to move or breathe but only for a moment. I found myself falling onto a rocky floor both relieved and curious. There was a cavern beneath the sands and it was pretty well illuminated by the bioluminescent moss shining a faint blue on the wall. I could also see weird white chains streching around the cave. It's moments like these I wish I recruited a feline but sadly they were out of my price range.

I practically dragged myself against the cold stone floor hoping that there was some kind of wildlife maybe a secret water stash. As I slowly lost hope I found something odd. A green root was snuggly inside a crack in the wall and jutting out appeared to be a fruit. It was white and had purplish veins surrounding the exterior. The hunter side of me questioned whether it was safe to eat but I was desperate.

Without any hesitation I ripped the fruit from the stem. Large quantities of white liquid ran down my arm as I pulled aside my hood driving my teeth into the hopefully life saving fruit. I swallow every bite. While the taste was bland it still filled my belly. I was very thankful and soon my stamina slowly replenished. Now that death was delayed for a bit I could look around. There had to be an exit somewhere.

Traveling around I found very strange ruins and architecture. It was almost as if there was a civilization that lived down here. Then my eyes widened stepping out into a wider area. The ceiling above streched far into the sky meaning there was indeed a way out. Not only that but there was actually plant life and water. I rushed around picking as much as I could. I even snagged some honey! Afterwards I couldn't help but jump into the small pond soaking my equipment but giving my body some much needed relief. Luckily as a hunter I knew how to craft purified water as well as potions.

I was finally out of the woods. I was fully recovered with supplies. Now the only thing left to do was to head to the top of this cylindrical looking place and get some backup. After getting some fish stuffed in my pockets, I hopped out of the water shaking the excess off. "Ok I'm ready!" I said with renewed confidence. Once I set off upwards I found it to be like walking up a giant staircase except with no stairs. Also the ecosystem increased more and more the further I went up.

There were all sorts of monsters and endemic life most of which I never seen before. Some were like velocidromes but with feathers and as much as I wanted to stay here taking it all in I knew I should reach safety first. "Just take a mental note of everything. Don't get distracted." I said so wanting to educate myself. Continuing my ascent I felt a little bit off. It was hard to put my finger on it but something felt....different.

My armor seemed to be sagging a bit. I could see several areas were it looked like its was a different size entirely. At first I thought nothing of it but as I kept walking I could feel my stomach twisting into knots. My mind flashed back to that weird fruit I ate thinking it may have been poisonous. I tried blocking out the discomfort as I was nearing the top. I went through a few more caverns seeing an actual roof before seeing a bright light just up ahead. It was the outside!

My first few steps were a joyous occasion. No more hot sandy deserts or desolate caves. Strangely enough I came into a large forested area were the trees were massive and covered in vines. Sunlight peered through the leaves and the ground was moist and muddy. The endemic life was far different from the cave as birds, lizards, and smaller monsters roamed the area. I bet there was a fishing hole somewhere and maybe civilization.

I decided that It would be best to set up a small camp. I was still weaponless and I was sure that there were much larger monsters in the area so me wandering around in an unknown area with no weapon would be bad. "Remember what they taught us. Scout first and adapt to your surroundings." Information was key to any successful hunt and my goal: Find People.

It didn't take long setting up a basic campsite. Normally palicos would do it but there were none around. I wove together some of the larger leaves I found scattered about into a little hut for myself. I then coated the outside with mud to help keep a low profile. It was nothing fancy. Just something to keep me hidden from unwanted visitors. Plus it blended in nicely against one of the massive trees.

My mind was occupied by all the stuff I had to do. " I guess this is what I wanted." I said to myself. Then I felt it again. The nausea that had been slowly increasing. I felt like I could vomit at any moment but never did. In between surges of pain I began to notice something alarming. My armor was definitely getting bigger on me somehow. The sleeves were going past my wrists and everything was sagging off my body. "What's going on!"

I stood in a panic but before I could take a step I tripped over my own boots that now felt double their size. "It's not the armor.....it's me!" I said. I then easily slid my boots off throwing them off to the side. I had to hold my armor up just to get a good luck at what was happening. My feet were indeed shrinking but that wasn't all that was happening. I could feel something pricking against the skin like tiny needles. Right before my eyes my feet were getting......hairier?

I immediately started stripping off all my armor tossing my leggings and chest piece into the corner. The prickly sensation was migration up my legs and I was unsure of what to do. "Shit am I hallucinating?!" Was my first thought. There were brown hairs growing from my skin. It wasn't painful just uncomfortable. Quickly I dug through my bags downing antidotes and potions thinking something would help. The hair was still spreading and I had already shrunk a whole foot and a half.

There was nothing in the hunter manual that couldn't prepared me for something like this. There was a sharp pain in my lower back as well as the jolt in my belly. Everything was hurting more and more and as I looked at my hands I was shocked. Small pads were protruding my fingers and palm. They were a pinkish color while my skin was engulfed by hair. My fingernails also started to changed growing out more and becoming sharper.

I had now lost 2 feet in height feeling the pain in my back start to subside. I was now only 3....maybe 3 and a half feet tall now. I panted heavily feeling invisible hands wrapping around my lungs. My mind was going through a million things trying to make sense of anything but I couldn't think properly. The organs in my chest and belly....I could feel them moving to accommodate the new size. I could have passed out right then and there but something was keeping me conscious.

Then a searing jolt of pain forced my legs to clench. I hunched over holding my knee as an intense pressure focused around my hips. I fell over feeling my legs dislocate from my hips. The only thing I could do was wallow on the ground as my upper thigh and my lower leg were fusing together. The muscles were rearranging themselves and the bones were combining. I didn't dare look down as I was afraid of just what was happening.

While my legs changed the fur that was growing on my body was getting thicker. Dark brown fur was almost everywhere and lighter brown fur started from my lower jaw till my stomach. My hands felt like they were getting wider and stronger. Then the world started shaking hard like an earthquake but then I realized that it wasn't moving...I was. The most earsplitting headache surged into my head. I pulled off my headpiece slamming my head into the floor trying to get the pain to stop but it didn't

My face was getting wider with the fur. I could feel it in my hands changing shape. My throat was swelling outwards along with my neck. My nose pulled back into my face giving me a pinkish button nose. The pupils in my eyes grew leaving them black. My ears migrated to the top of my head with my hair slowly changing color to match my fur. My two canine teeth grew out, so much so that it overlapped my bottom lip. The point I could no longer stand happened when then changes affected my manhood. My penis had been shriveling away that I could barely tell it was there at all. Then a pain so vile it outclassed everything else pulled right into my crotch. I could barely breathe as my testicles were being pulled on. It was like someone was pushing them directly into my pelvis but nothing was happening.....until I felt them pop inside. I was overwhelmed in pain so I happily fell unconscious again on the soft ground.

---

I was unsure of how much time had passed but a small ray of sunshine passed through my hut. I felt like I had drank too much alcohol and was recovering from a bad hangover. Was it all a nightmare? I stared at the ceiling of my hut for the longest time before forcing myself to sit up. I was shocked to find that it wasn't a nightmare.....but was very real. I looked at my fluffy lower body that didn't resemble a human at all. My legs looked like the hind legs of a bear or badger not to mention all the fucking fur. My hands also were very fluffy looking with claws and paws to boot.

"What the fuck am I!?" I yelled noticing my voice had become raspy.

I wobbled to my fuzzy feet trying to maintain a stance. Thankfully I wasn't forced to be on all fours like some kind of animal. I waddled myself outside trying to get accustomed to walking with these massive thighs. It was difficult at first but with some practice I was shuffling around like the breeze. Everything seemed so much bigger except for the trees. "What now...."

Well I was getting kind of hungry so I wanted to scout for some fishing holes and luckily there were plenty around. I always did have a fishing rod on me and my size didn't impact my skills. I still had poseable thumbs even if they were furry. Plus on the bright side the fish were much bigger looking. I sat by one of the ponds throwing my lure out into the water and relaxed myself purely focused on the task at hand.

I gasped looking down at the water. My hands started shaking as I saw my face for the first time. I was......cute? My face was very fluffy and my beady eyes and teeth poking out made me swoon. I loved discovering and learning about new creatures but I couldn't get over the fact that the cute creature looking back at me was in fact me. I touched my paw to my cheek squishing it around. I opened my mouth extremely wide but shutting it immediately scared that my head would split in two. I also played with my ears on my head but as I explored myself I felt a yank on the rod.

It took no effort yanking the fish out of the water. Landing next to me I quickly scooped up the bomb arawana and scuttled back to my hut. At first I was going to cook the thing but I was just so hungry I opened my maw stuffing the thing head first into my gullet. It was gone in seconds and I still felt so very hungry despite my size. I went back to fishing and when I caught one I scarfed it down . The cycle continued for some time and I always felt hungry afterwards. "What gives! I got stuff to do."

Returning to the hut I put my Pukei headgear back on. Surprising that it still fit after my transformation. I tried my best to put the consequences of changing species out of my head for now. "Focus...." I said. "My survivability is my number 1 concern, then finding civilization.....then I can freak out and find a cure for.....whatever this is." I was confident this was just a setback and could be cure with the right ingredients. I wasn't stuck like this forever......I hoped.

I then fashioned a makeshift cloak out of my Pukei armor. I didn't like having to cut up my armor but it was better than nothing. I wasn't adept at making clothing but I could make my armor smaller and tie a few strings to it. I would have to requisition some better gear when I got back....if I got back. No no no....focus. It was time to journey outward and just hope I found what I needed.

---

The forest was much bigger than I first thought. I could have easily gotten lost in the endless amounts of trees and greenery. Sometimes my focus would drift and I would be staring at a new bird type trying to catalogue it in my head. "Just you wait until I get a journal." I said. So many new things that I couldn't do anything about other than gawk at. Still I followed the streams for as long as I could hoping it would lead to an ocean.

Thankfully my senses weren't affected too much by my transformation. I could smell just about everything from the wildlife to the sweet scent of the flowers and fruits. I could hear the endemic life squeaking and chirping and a faint muffled sound almost like someone was talking? I focused on my hearing closing my eyes to get a better angle on the sound. Yes it was most definitely someone talking. A person!?

I trudged my way through the stream following the distant sound feeling the mud in between my toes. Eventually I found my way to a small cave behind a waterfall. I was surprised I could hear anything past the roaring water but I guess these new ears were quite special. Peeking in there was a massive lake with tons of fish swimming around. The blue hue of the water illuminating the cavern walls in a dreamy way. Slowly I walked in and immediately was accosted by the scent of something.....monstrous.

The more I moved inward the more I started noticing thin strands of webbing coating both the walls and strung across from wall to wall like a trap. Then I could hear something big coming my way. I jumped behind a massive rock just in time to see an oversized arachnid slowly walking by. It was almost the size of a fully grown rathlos and just as menacing to look at. 4 massive legs with 2 front claws, tons of beady eyes, and a white body with what looked like a red flower as its abdomen. I held my breathe waiting for the monster to pass by wishing that they made hunting horns in smaller sizes.

Sneaking by I listened for whoever's voice it was. I carefully stepped through the webbing and found several cocoons attached to the ceiling. Some were empty and some were full of wildlife likely for food. "Hello? I asked careful not to draw too much attention. "Is anyone here?" Keeping my eyes peeled I saw in the corner of my hear one of the cocoons spin around.

"Ahh my salvation or perhaps my end. Queries come in both big and small packages after all." The thing said. It was a small creature and one that looked identical to myself. It had a large greyish pointed hat on with several buckles attached to all the sides of it. The rest of it was covered completely in webbing. Finally I could get some answers as to what the fuck I was.

"Just sit tight. I'll get you down." I said. Looking at my paws an idea popped in my head. Using my claws I dug into the side of the webbing letting the sticky residue to momentarily stick to my feet while I pulled myself up. I went as high as I could before I was forced to crawl along a thin piece of web that was connected to the creature. It was easier than it looked at least now it was. I definitely couldn't do this as a human but as a human I could have probably just attacked the thing and caught the cocoon.

Using my claws I was able to cut the webbing causing the cocoon to swing towards the ground. I held on like a pro feeling the wind blaze past my fur and continued cutting through the middle of the webbing. Soon enough the creature was free and completely unfazed. "My precious thanks. Death was not here to see me off. Life was given instead." It said. It both confused me and intrigued me.

We both got out of the cave unscathed as there was no sign of the monster. Now I wanted to have a nice chat with this....guy? Now free from the webs I could see he was a sophisticated creature. He had a red scarf around his neck and a greenish poncho around his body that had some symbols on it. A large emblem was also attached to his chest over his poncho and there were straps and other clothing pieces just out of my vision.

"Thank you. I shall relish my newfound freedom. Very unusual to envision a lone wudwud this far from home." He said.

"Your welcome.....I'm Will nice to meet you." I reflexively stuck my paw out.

"Will you? Yes we will." He reached out taking my paw in his shaking it up and down. He was definitely an odd one that was for sure. still he looked like me so I wondered if I could ask without it being too weird. I didn't want to sound like a crazy person after all. yet this whole thing was just nuts.

"So tell me about yourself.....Uhmmm sir?" I said.

" Oh my name is Rove. I am just a wandering wudwud questing far and wide. For what even I do not know." He said with that adorable looking face.

"Well nice to meet you. Say I'm really lost would you care to help me. I'm not from here exactly so everything is new." I said as humbly as I could. He seemed friendly enough so I was hoping to get something out of him.

"A kindred spirit then? To answer your query we are in the middle of The Forbidden Lands in a place called the Scarlet Forest. It is home to many wudwud in fact it is home to me. Returning to the place were my first light shined for a special occasion." He said waving his paws about.

"Wow....I'm really interested in learning more about wudwuds. Is it a culture or perhaps a species? Are you all unique?" I got carried away with my questions and Rove tilted his head like a dog. It was so cute I could die.

We started walked away from the cave and he tried his best to explain things to me. The wudwud were a lynian species like palicos. They could hunt, build, and forage like any wild lynians. He says while they were fun to be around he felt he had a calling elsewhere. I was excited to say the least about meeting these creatures. If they were as sophisticated as Rove they could ally with the hunters guild. Then who knows what would happen.

After some chatting Rove invited me to visit his place. I agreed excitedly eager to learn more. We scampered up some of the tree vines high into the sky. The forest was very massive and as we climbed I could see no end to the trees. Eventually we reached a small plateau densely packed with bushes and a clear view of the sky above. Smack in the middle of everything was a leather tent adorned with herbs. The inside of it was completely packed with scrolls and books I didn't even see a bed anywhere. To the side were buckets full of fish and fruit.

I picked up a journal opening it to find nothing on the inside. "Do you have a pen I could have?" I asked as Rove sat on a stack of books. He smiled with his two adorable teeth and gestured his arms to me pulling out a quill. I happily took it from him hugging the journal close to my chest. Rove looked oddly satisfied not in a creepy way just as a happy helpful wudwud.

I spend a good bit of time writing in the journal about my experiences, about my transformation, and about the new species I discovered. I was a wudwud and I still needed more info on them but I still felt like me. Just shorter and hairier.....and cuter. I did my best to draw and give short descriptions of everything and by the time I was done it was night time.

"Would you like to partake in the prominent stuffing of the stomach?" Rove said. "Food feeds the mind as well as the body. Why not put food in the mind." He set a bowl of soup next to me. Then a hot steamed fish that was cooked to perfection. Were all the wudwud this nice? I picked up the fish in my paws salivating over my fur. I scarfed it down and Rove did the same to his. I indulged in my hunger promising to myself to repay Rove .

"Thank you....for everything. I thought for sure I would be stuck here alone for a while." I said guzzling the bowl of soup.

"The thanks is graciously received. Our homes are intertwined like the trees around us." Rove said.

"So another weird question. Do you know anything about a white fruit with purply veins? You say you travel around so...." I said nervously.

"Hmm Just one. The survival fruit it's nicknamed. Ironically it is very poisonous. Unironically it saves the life of the consumer by any means."

"So lets say I had eaten this fruit......and it turned me into a wudwud." I said. I expected him to laugh at me. To call me a liar but instead he nodded his head.

"Oh so you were something and now your something else. Still at least your something and not nothing." Rove said in his usual dialogue.

"Well do you know of any cures? This was a fun experience but I need to get back to my squad....as my old human self." I explained.

"Possible. I would have to ask the most wisest of the wudwud which coincidently I were I was headed to." He said.

"Oh that's right you mentioned you were going back home for something." I said

"Would you care to wait a bit until then? Destiny after all can always wait." He said.

I spent the whole night cozied up in Rove's tent. At some point it had started raining and I could hear the drops trickling against the side of the tent. Then thunder struck instantly reminding me of how I got mixed up in all this. I was shaken being reminded of my near death experience and transformation. I closed my eyes hoping to fall asleep. Something heavy draped over my chest and I opened my eyes to see Rove cuddled up to my backside without his hat on. It calmed me in a weird way and I held onto his arm easily drifting off to sleep.

---

The next day Rove and I packed up our stuff and went out in search of the wudwud village. Instead of climbing down the tree the normal way Rove showed me a cool way to get down. There were hundreds of branches and vines leading off into all sorts of directions but Rove memorized them all. Grappling one with his claws he slid down one disappearing into the leaves. Trusting him I gripped the vine and jumped off. The wind pushed and pulled me while my weight dragged me down like a rollercoaster. Inevitably I was launched off into the water below. We landed in a pond and wudwud's were excellent floaters. Pulling myself out and onto dryer land I shook off the water like a dog with my fur puffing up a bit. Rove giggled shaking off as well.

I followed Rove closely as we walked. I couldn't help but think to myself about how fearless Rove was. Despite his size he didn't let anything get to him. In a strange way it put my heart at ease. I was still a hunter and I had fought monsters before. Maybe it was my new form getting to me. After all I couldn't really hunt anything like this. Looking at my paws the unending grip of uncertainty clenched my stomach. Plus I couldn't get a girlfriend or any date......" We have arrived." My thoughts were interrupted by Rove pointing up at a destroyed tower.

The ruins were made of stone and it was consumed by the forest. Vines and shrubbery practically hid the place from predators. Then I saw them the wudwuds. They were wandering about with handmade spears and clothing. They looked similar to both me and Rove but the main differences were in their clothing and fur. Some had mushrooms for hats with leather sashes and robes. Others had fruit necklaces with fur from the nearby monster population. They came off as tribal but meeting Rove maybe there was more than meets the eye.

"AAAGGHHH!" They squealed opening their mouths wide upon seeing Rove and me. A small group of them waddled over waving their spears and sticks around. It was a little uncomfortable but at the same time I was learning about their greetings. "Rove is beck! We must triboot the evening day to his return!?" One of the wudwuds said. They all started hopping up and down almost in unison. I was then hit with the hard realization that I shared a species with a bunch of idiots.......cute and lovable idiots.

Before I could get a word in some of the wudwuds surrounded me looking me over like a curious otter. They seemed very interested in my Pukei gear and poked and prodded me with their paws. "OOO so big cool." One said. Rove walked beside me taking my paw into his pulling me through the crowd. Together we climbed up the vines into the wudwud hideout and it was indeed just a tribal as I expected.

The stone's of the ruins were half sunken into the ground while there were cobblestone tiles mostly broken all along the floor. Large roots came up from the floor intertwining themselves between the stone. There were cages, drapes, and other decorations attached to the ceiling giving it a lived in vibe. There were piles of loot next to the trees that had grown in between the stones and firepits strewn about. They even had little sleeping pods that dangled from the roof made from leaves and leather. You could smell the cooked food even before entering and to my surprise the hideout looked monster free.

"I must seek out the elder. Please enjoy the hospitality of the wudwuds." Rove said scuttling off leaving me by myself.

It didn't take long for some of the wudwuds to start shoving food in my face. The moment I sat down on a tree root, plates upon plates of fruit and meat were stuck in front of me. They would also get really close to the point were I was going to start sweating beneath my fur. They had no sense of boundaries but I suppose that's what made wudwuds a family. I sighed and began snacking on some of the meat. They responded with smiles and flailing their arms up. Some of them tried talking but only some understood english well enough to speak it.

I continued to observe them. Some were playing around the firepit, others were yelling and dancing. Some were responsible and were hanging up fish and vegetation from the roof. They had a unique system going on and it made me laugh. Their cuteness and funny noises they made while running around was enough to win me over. One of the wudwuds was decked out in mushrooms and a small fur cape. It approached me with a curious look.

"Ah so indeed a new wudwud is here. Welcomness to Wyv....wyveer.....our city! You must have traveled far from another tribe. With my humblenous we welcome with open arms. I am Plumpeach the chief. Please make your home our home!" he said.

"Thank you. I won't be here too long so don't worry about me." I said waving my paws.

"Well you must stay for the flowering festival! It only happens one time a year!" he said.

"I'll bite what is the flowering festival?" I replied putting down my food.

"No biting. The flowering is when two wudwuds share each others companies. It's how many wudwuds find life mates and grow the city. It's a special day that maybe you would like to be in?" He said rubbing his paws together.

I blushed at the thought. " Umm I don't know anyone well enough for that." I said feeling my heartrate pick up.

"But Rove seems to like you very muchnous. He couldn't stop smiling even now." Plumpeach said.

It was a nice thought. I couldn't imagine being with a wudwud though. I would be human soon enough anyways and I wouldn't want to give Rove too much hope. But then why was I thinking that it would be ok otherwise......I was still such a mess. Then again I could stick around and learn their breeding habits? After all it was a once a year type thing and I could get exclusive data on them.

---

Over the next few hours the wudwuds started bringing in baskets full of flowers. There many different kinds with all sorts of colors. Not to my surprise they started flinging them around screaming their little heads off. They even started diving head first into the piles they made and began digging through them. When they found one they liked they kept it by stashing it in their fur until they couldn't fit anymore. Meanwhile the rest of the flower pedals were hung up for decoration stringing them across vines and sticking them on the walls.

"Are we having a eventful evening?" Rove said sitting next to me.

"Welcome back. Just watching this festival thing about to start. Its entertaining for sure." I said scratching my fur.

"There is something I must confess. Originally this was just a stop for a much greater journey....but now as the wind changes I seek something more." Rove said wiggling his feet. Can I show you something?"

I nodded my head and we scaled the ruins climbing to the very top. There wasn't much up there except for some overgrown trees and broken stone flooring. Rove sat down on his furry butt and I did the same. He didn't say anything so we waited there for a little bit until night fell. At first I thought he fell asleep which wouldn't surprise me but then his head tilted up with a blue and grey hue slowly crawling up his fur.

The moon was slowly creeping just overhead between the branches and leaves. It was quite a sight one that I normally wouldn't think much of. It somehow felt special now. Little scoutflies then started to appear lighting the area a bit more. The tiny green bugs flew around us some perching on Rove's hat and some on my helm. I couldn't help but smile. It was very peaceful. So peaceful I felt I could just relax.

I decided to take off my helm feeling my pudgy face recoil as the fresh air flow through my fur. I could see Rove smile as I set my helm down. He scooted closer to me until we were touching practically. He rummaged around inside his poncho and pulled out a flower. It was quite a beautiful one too. The pedals were open and curved inwards. It glowed a light purple with the stem having little bumps on it. On the inside of the pedals were a mixture of purple and white.

"Here." Rove extended his paw. " It is both salvation and pleasure. The thing you want most and never need."

"Oh? Is it a cure?" I said inspected the odd little flower.

"Accurate. It fixes what is broken and mends what needs to be fixed. In twenty four hours it decides what action to take."

"So it's like the fruit and does what it wants. Well thank you. " I said taking the flower from him. Rove turned himself to face me taking off his hat and putting it on my head. It was surprisingly comfortable and fit right over my little ears. Before I could lift the edge of the hat out of my face, Rove's cute otterlike face was nose to nose with mine. Very quickly I found his lips pressed up to mine. My face burned and my eyes widened. I put both my paws on his shoulders as if to push him away. Instead I found myself entranced but I snapped back to my senses and scooted back.

"Apologies my dear. I find myself yearning your companionship." Rove said laying forward on his hands and feet.

"R-Rove.....we can't do that. It wouldn't be fair to either of us. Besides we don't know each other that well." I said crossing my arms.

"I do not believe you quite understand wudwuds yet. We are greedy and self absorbed, we seek the unseekable, and we do not think beyond the day. Our budding kinship has blossomed into a beautiful flower. One that I would have with me. I would.....be elated if you would spend the flowering festival with me." Rove said offering a paw.

I pulled his hat over my eyes trying to hide my embarrassment. This was was too much for me. It felt like the fur on my face was on fire. This was not how relationships worked....at least not human ones. The thing that Rove was talking about wanting more of...was me. I feel like such an idiot. How was I suppose to say no to him? What was I suppose to do? No! I was overthinking things. I don't wanna hurt him in the long run so....

"Rove....I'm really glad I met you. But how my kind deals with relationships is built over time. We make memories and fall in love. It's not really something that I can just give you. Saying that.....I would love to spend my final day as a wudwud with you. Then you can get to know the real me afterwards." I said patting him on the head.

He didn't show any emotions on his face and he didn't say anything. Rove sat beside me and we stared up at the moon together and before we knew it the Flowering festival was underway. On the plateau below us we could see the wudwuds building a massive fire pit with circles of flower pedals around it. The chief scampered up to were Rove and I were smiled.

---

"New wudwud come with me!" Plumpeach grabbed my arm and started to drag me away. I got to my feet and looked back at Rove who was waving. What was I getting myself into now. I found myself in a little room with the door draped over with a large red cloth. There were quite a few wudwuds in there with me and all of them were getting ready for the festival. I looked back at my escape before I was pushed inside more by the chief.

There were a few wudwuds that came up on both sides of me looking me up and down. One took off Rove's hat while the other started pulling my handmade Pukei armor off. I felt so naked without my armor. I was still unused to seeing my wudwud body. I wanted to cover up but the two attendees seemed to want to help with that. They carried over bowls filled with some red paste and set it down beside me.

One of the wudwuds crouched down. They had a red mushroom cap on their head and red stained fur on their paws. They also had a brown leather apron on to match their brown fur. They dunked their paws in the red paste and brought their fingers up to my face. The wudwud started painting on my face putting circular symbols on my cheeks. Then I watched him make some doodles on my chest and belly sometimes smearing the paste across my fur. It was enjoyable and maybe a little ticklish.

The flower I had gotten from Rove was tucked into my ear fur. In fact most of the wudwuds in the room with me had flowers in their ear fur. Next I was led to another room this time the air felt slightly different. It smelled a little....pungent and was a little dark. The chief was in there with me lighting only 2 torches. I looked around and found it was just me and the chief. The other wudwuds were put in similar rooms probably.

"Welcome to final. I will personal give you preparnous for the long hours." They said. Once again there was a large bowl of some viscous liquid which Plumpeach dunked here paws in. It was very see through and it molded around their fur and claws. Then they walked over to me crouching down. I expected them to paint it over my fur like the last one but instead their paw went into other areas.

Very quickly their paws pushed open my legs and it put me on edge. With no warning or say in the matter the tip of their paws pushed right in between my thighs. A strong jolt of pleasure made me clench my thighs around their paw. "W-wait!" Plumpeach ignored my plea rubbing the tip of her paw pad against something right on my pelvis. It was then I realized a hard truth. That is that I was no male. It felt like they were rubbing on the tip of my penis but I couldn't find it anywhere in my fur. Which meant only one thing. I was a girl. It explained why Rove thought of me the way he did. It was all so ....instinctual.

"There there. Must get you ready for Rove. You make many of us much jealous. Now....Put him in you mind." Plumpeach continued rubbing on my.....pussy. The pleasure was so intoxicating it was hard to form coherent thoughts. The substance on their paws coated me like lubericant....yes thats exactly what was happening. I should have just left then and there but it felt so good...

I couldn't help but picture Rove in my head while I was being touched. "Rove wants you.....needs you....his seed is ready....ready for a fertile wudwud. Soon there will be happy wudwud family." Plumpeach kept whispering in my ear and I had no choice but to envision it. More of me was trying to picture him in the nude and what he could do to me. Voluntary or not it was all I could think about.

I felt my organsm climbing in the pit of my belly. Before I could get anywhere the rubbing stopped and I snapped back to reality. My pubic fur was matted and my cunt was sufficiently lubed. I felt so ashamed at myself for letting it happen but if felt so right. I was still so horny too. Perhaps the liquid did more than just lube me up....maybe it forced me into some kind of heat.

Drying their paws on a rag, Plumpeach helped me stand up with my loins still on fire. They escorted me up to the top were I left Rove. We then ascended further up into the trees. Beyond the vines and leaves was a hidden alcove inside one of the massive trees. It was a big hollowed out trunk high in the sky covered by a thin layer of leaves. I stepped inside shutting the leaves behind me like a curtain.

Flowers covered the ground and a rug adorned the underside of them. Then I noticed a round nest filled with flowers and fur from the wildlife below. I sat down on the edge of it feeling the cushiony bed with my paw. The only source of light was from the firepit down below and some scoutflies that were in jars on both sides of the nest. It smelt really nice. Before I got too comfy the leaf curtain was pushed aside and a wudwud came into view.

I could tell it was Rove and he was staring at me. Plus he wasn't wearing his poncho or his scarf giving me a first look at the fur on his chest. My beady eyes scanned every inch of him and some part of me got curious on what the male genitalia looked like. Rove's penis was at half mast looking similar to a humans but with a broader head. It was pinkish and got darker as you went down towards the ballsack. His sack was also something. For someone of his size his testies were surprisingly hefty. I didn't know how he walked around with it all day.

"Expressing my apologies I must. I fear the wudwuds have gotten too ravenous as of late." Rove said

"You could say that.....This wasn't what I meant when I said spend the rest of the day together just so you know." I blushed trying not to stare.

"Then I shall put your mind at ease. We can just exchange stories and monologue about our experiences." He said walking over to the nest.

I felt comfortable around Rove. More so than usual. It was an opportunity he was going to pass up just to make me feel better. We sat down next to each other staring up at the ceiling talking about my experiences as a human and explaining my job as a hunter. He seemed impressed but I couldn't tell from his furry face. Rove told me a few of his adventures climbing ice mountains, getting trapped numerous times by monsters, and his journey to explore as much as he could.

I couldn't help myself from smiling at Rove. He made me laugh from his dialogue but there was more to it. I wondered about our relationship and started visualizing myself with him years down the road. Even though this was my last night as a wudwud I wondered if it would be so bad as to get....a little frisky. After all according to Rove wudwuds don't think too far ahead.

My body moved on its own putting a paw on Rove's leg. In the middle of one of his stories I moved up putting my face up to his and pressed my lips into his. He was caught a bit off guard but slowly gave into it. His lips tasted like meat and his large tongue started pushing past my teeth. Oh fuck why am I doing this. I thought to myself as my tongue swirled around his. Our tongues were squeezing one anothers until our jaws were full of saliva. It drooled down our chins making a small mess on the bedding.

My heart was pounding in my chest. The extreme heat between my loins was becoming unbearable. When we separated Rove didn't say anything. He put a paw on my cheek lovingly caressing it. I was carefully lowered onto the nest with Rove looking down at me. He pushed his snout to my chest with his paws on both sides of my body. Dragging his cold nose down I bit my lip until his mouth was right infront of my pussy.

Rove pushed his furry lips up to my labia sending lightning down my spine. The tip of his tongue reached out gently coating my warm cunt with saliva. It spread me open as he licked between my folds. The pleasure forcing me to yell out and clenching my thighs against his head. It didn't bother him. Instead he licked and pushed like a hungry Ratholos unable to contain himself. I could once again feel my body building to something but suddenly he stopped and looked up at me licking his lips.

He stood upright giving me a good view of his now fully erect dick. It was bulging a bit were I could see his veins and his ballsack rolling around producing cum. The very sight was enough to drive me wild. I couldn't help but wonder what Plumpeach did to me to make me like this. Rove however didn't seem to notice my internal struggle. Some part of me needed him and the other was just wanting to stop.

"Does my flower require me to seed her bed?" Rove said rubbing his paws on my legs.

"Rove...." I said clenching my overheating thighs. "I guess.......I can spend one night as a wudwud and just be in the moment."

Rove leaned over me putting his paws on my shoulders. his soft fur intermingling with mine. We nuzzled one another keeping my face buried against his neck. I gritted my teeth feeling something hard gently grinding on my pelvis. I knew it was his cock but I didn't want to think it aloud. In my human life I never expected to find someone I was really into man or female. This however felt right in a way.

I could feel the breath on my neck. His eyes were closed as if concentrating on the task at hand. His penis was rubbing right on my pussy coating his skin in his saliva and my pre. The large rod gave me pleasure as I happily let the wudwud grind against me. Rove pulled his hips back letting the head of his cock drag down until it rested on my cunt. I nervously gripped him in a bear hug holding my legs out as far as I could.

The pressure was intense as he put weight into his pelvis. The tip of his dick was nearly the same size as my pussy and the only thing I could do was hang on for dear life. The moment it started pushing my cunt apart it felt like someone took all the breath out of my body. I did my best to hold a straight face but alas it was impossible. I let out a loud moan into his fur as the head sank inward. The unbelievable pleasure shook me to my very core.

Rove's face twisted and he bit on my shoulder. Normally something like that would hurt but I could only feel ecstacy. My focus was on his cock slowly driving into my wet and tight tunnel. The more he pushed in the better I felt. I could feel my inners getting full. It felt like I was gunna rip in two but the mixture of pleasure and pain only heightened my feelings. I huffed drooling into his warm fur clenching my throbbing pussy around his girth.

When we were fully together, Rove let go of my shoulder and at first I thought he was going to say something weird again but instead he relaxed his hips and thrusted once rocketing his dick through my sensitive cunt. I reflexively moaned and struggled to catch my breath. "R-rove." I said huffing with my legs around his thighs. I could never look at him the same way again. Sure Rove was always cute but now.....he was so fucking sexy.

Stifling his grunts he gradually became use to my tight body. Carefully he began humping pushing his dick in and out. I thought that getting his dick in me was the most pleasurable part but this...this was it. Being streched open with a cock stroking on your pussy both inside and out felt absolutely amazing. My wet pussy molded around his cock as it glided inside. Our combined pre leaking out into the flowers and fur.

Whenever he pulled back it was my time to get some air but then he would thrust back in forcing me to moan digging my claws into him. Rove's balls and thighs were smashing into my furry rear sending small ripples along my ass. Then Rove started to lose himself in the pleasure thrusting at a faster pace. I couldn't say or think anything as I was totally overcome with his cock.

Rove's wudwud cockhead was slowly opening my cervix. With every thrust the head would pry open a little at a time. When the tip finally breached my barrier I could feel my climax building. "Oh.....Rove!" I squealed as the wave of the orgasm hit me like a typhoon. My body pulled together spasming as I rode my first female orgasm. I held my lover for what felt like an eternity until it slowly faded away.

None of it seemed to stop Rove from fucking me. I could feel his heartbeat through his cock getting warmer and faster. His breathing becoming shallower as he pounded his cock trough my slick opening. "NGHHH!" he grunted giving a few hard thrusts before stopping completely with his cockhead buried next to my uterus. Gripping my hips with his paws I watched his face clench together and felt his penis begin to pulse..

Glob after glob, rope after sticky rope shot out into my belly. His warm cum pumping out from his furry ballsack and into my awaiting womb. Once it began to fill me it felt warm and once it began to fill me past the limit.....it felt even better. My stomach distended a bit trying to hold all his spunk. Rove became totally feral during the last few pumps humping into me as fast and as hard as he could making my ass sore and my pussy.....fulfilled.

Spent and exhausted Rove fell to the side of me dragging his limp wet cock out with him. My cunt felt empty without him but at least my insatiable hunger for him was dimming down. Then came the utter shame of what I had just done. I actually had sex with something not of my species. I could still his jizz sloshing around in my belly. Rove scooted beside me as close as he could putting his paw in mine laying on his side.

"Have your urges been quelled my dear?" Rove said.

"You could say that....fuck I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me." I replied.

" No doubt it was wudwud medicine. Brings both fire and need to the needy."

"Still......I really don't know what to say to this...."

"It was quite enjoyable dare I say." He said rubbing his paw over my belly.

"It was enjoyable but it changes our relationship." I said looking him in his cute beady eyes.

"Well yes. Maybe into something better who is to know. Whether we are companions or mates I was happy to share in your first time." Rove kissed me on the cheek making me blush.

"Curious though.....if you didn't have a mate to share the flower festival what would you do?"

"There are several areas in the city to share bodies with one another. Some with many partners as to spread wudwud culture as much as possible."

"So an orgy? I'm glad I met you then." I said cuddling up to him with my arm around his chest. Part of me was ready to return to my human stare and yet I relished moments like this....with him.

"So.....shall we continue?" Rove said perking my ears up. " We have all night and I'm quite....hungry."

---

The wudwud labido was nothing to sneeze at. Rove and I spent hours having sex with each other until Rove's balls were totally empty. His sperm was stirring my uterus latching on to my ovulating eggs. The more cum he packed in the more likely I was to bear his offspring. Yet I didn't care. Once I was human it would all be a..good dream and a bonding experience with Rove.

Once we were done fucking we spent the night in the nest sleeping as close as we could together. My fur covered in his cum and him in mine. While we slept the flower that would cure me began to glow a bright blue color then disappearing without a trace. A small blue mark appeared on my paw. I didn't feel anything so I slept and was none the wiser.

Rove and I woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. While I didn't want to leave our cuddling session we did need to wash up. We went down the tree and headed for the lake were most of the wudwud seemed to be. They all gave Rove and me praise and I hid my face. "We could hear you from high ups. " One said making me even more embarrassed. Once we got into the water I washed off most of the cum from my fur and I helped Rove do the same.

Thats when I noticed the blue mark on my paw and that it had been more than 24 hours. After the wash Rove put on his scarf and poncho with his hat off to the side. I found a nice spot in some bushes to freak out. Did the cure not work? What was I going to do now? That was a question that didn't need answering as Rove poked his head into the bushes scaring me half to death.

"Are we playing a game of seek and hide?" He said stumbling into the small area I was in.

"Sorry I needed some alone time. The cure......It didn't work. I might be stuck like this.....a dumb wudwud..."

"I think...your absolutely perfect. Maybe this is how you were always meant to be."

"Thanks but I don't know if I could live in this world. I was meant for so much more."

"Then....quest with me." Rove said extending his paw to me. " If you truly wish to see the world then I can show it to you. We can travel like the winds and leaves. You could even be my shield with the right gear."

" A wudwud warrior? That does sound cool......Maybe someone could forge a hunting horn for me....and maybe some armor that fits."

"That's the spirit. Just because you appear different doesn't mean you are." Rove said as I took his paw.

"What about ummmm....." I said rubbing my belly.

"If we are blessed with offspring then we shall teach them our ways. I will be right beside you the whole way."

Admittingly I didn't want to birth a wudwud but if I did.....then I would teach him to be smart and strong. I couldn't stand the thought of them being like the rest. Wudwud are a cute species and resourceful and honestly I didn't mind it. It would just take some getting use to. After our conversation we geared up and headed to the edge of the wudwud hideout.

"Must be leaving so soon?" Plumpeach and a few other wudwuds came to see us off.

"Yes." I said. "There are important things that Rove and I need to do. Plus he gets in trouble a lot so I need to be there."

"Very well. Wudwud be here when you return. Please be safenous while out." Plumpeach hugged me with a bearlike grip squeezing into me. Meanwhile the other wudwuds decided to group up on me and I was nearly crushed on all side. Gosh the were all cute. Afterwards Rove and I set out not knowing what we would find next in our journey. There were still so many unanswered questions. One day I was sure to have answered.

END..
