A man attempts to traverse a desert in search of adventure and fortune. What he finds is himself critically low on supplies in the middle of no where and about to dry up like a prune. Luckily for him there happens to be a deity of bounty wandering through, and the two spot each other just in time.


(F TF feral Camel & Fertility hybrid)

Majnun was a handsome man of the town of Ghaban. He was one of the blacksmiths in a well known shop, though despite the shops popularity it got very few visitors from the outside. Ghaban was considerably out of the way, sitting on the edge of the Churning Lands- a vast desert of fine grain sand, far too desolate for anyone to live in, so the lands beyond were uncharted. To everyone's surprise though, one day a small caravan of adventurers appeared in Ghaban, claiming to have visited ancient ruins in the Churning Lands on the way to town. They sold several artifacts to the town for supplies to continue on their way, back into populated lands. Majnun was completely blown away! There was ruins out there? And where had those adventurers come from before that? Were they from the land beyond the desert?! He could not believe no one bothered to ask! Then Majnun wanted to set out to recover more of the artifacts and learn more about the ruins and any lands beyond their reach, but everyone told him he was a fool. The sands would claim him. But they had all seen adventurers come to them FROM the desert! Alive! Majnun gathered up supplies and left the town in search of adventure in the dead of night.

Majnun was too stubborn to give up, and clearly too stubborn for his own good. It did not take long for him to start to realise how dangerous his adventure was going to be. The pale sands did not retain heat well at all, so in the night the air was very cold. He wrapped himself in an overly large, tattered cloak and clutched it tight in the darkness of the night. He spotted two ghost scorpions he had to avoid. They were scorpions with neon red stingers and translucent carapaces- extremely venomous. Because the desert was made of fine grain sands, with each step his foot sunk in a ways and when he tried to push off with that foot again, it slid back a bit. This meant he had to use twice the effort to go the same distance with each and every step. Another problem is an utter lack of landmarks. If he got turned around in any way he would be completely unable to find his location, because everything was just sand for as far as the eye could see. The dunes shifted with the winds, so the landscape rippled like water in slow motion. When the sun started to rise he got a breif window of pleasent temperatures where he felt like he was getting a second wind. It did not take long for the sand to start scorching his feet. He wore simple sandals, but because his feet sunk into the soft ground the sand often still touched the sides of his feet, singeing them. It was not long before he had to take his cloak off and use it to cover the several gourds of water tossed over his shoulder, linked by a rope. He had only a loin cloth on under the cloak, and his entire body including his hair was covered in a layer of red clay, to protect it from the solar radiation. The clay would keep him from burning, but not from cooking. He walked almost all day, and found nothing. He ate a bit of his rations of cured meat for a dinner as the sun went down, and when it was dark again he wrapped himself in his cloak and burried himself in the sand a bit to help trap his body heat in when things got very cold again.

The same thing happened the following day, and he ended up eating most of his rations for dinner that day. He set out with four gourds full of water, drinking most of one in the first day. Majnun drank the rest of the first and all of the second the next day, and then half of the next after dinner trying to get rid of dehydration induced headaches. Now Majnun was afraid. Very little food left on him and only one and a half gourds- he needed more than that to get to where he currently was. Which means he did not have the supplies needed to make the trip back to Ghaban. He had no choice but to keep going and hope against the odds that he ran into something, somewhere to gather resources of any kind. But there was still nothing in sight, no cliffs, no structures, not even a cactus patch. The third day of wandering the desert he felt like he was going blind to boot. The sand was pale and reflected the light of the sun into his eyes- and it was the only thing to be seen so there was nothing of contrast for his eyes to look at, it was just sand and more sand. Just when he started into his last gourd of water to keep from passing out, he seen movement. It had been directly in front of him though, and since he was drinking the gourd eclipsed his vision of it, by the time he put it down it was gone again. Majnun was in a bit of a depression in the ground, so he quickly dashed forward to see what it was. Even if it was just an animal- the animal needs resources to survive off of, he can follow it back to where it gets its food and water. When he crested the divot in the sands he did not see any creatures, but he did see dead plants. A lot of them. They seemed to vein out from a single source that was hidden behind yet another pile of tumbling sand. All of the plants were dead and dried, leaving only their sun-bleached skeletons behind, but it was a landmark at least. Majnun then quickly had to stagger his stance as the ground trembled and the sand started to roll on its own, like something giant was moving under the sand! In a massive eruption of sand and an explosion of green, several trees quickly shot up into view over the sand mound near the heart of the dead growth! Something was rapidly reviving the roots of the dead oasis! He seen a glimpse of what looked like a camel's head, and heard it call out. Majnun immediately bolted toward it as fast as he could.

The ground churned as the roots below rapidly came back to life, and grass and shrubs grew quickly making it hard to navigate, since he did not wait for it to finish. He did not see a camel though once he got there, which is odd because camel are not exactly small- it can't hide easily. He seen what looked like a cloak like his, and as it started to rise he realised even with his hazy vision he was in the presence of another human! She turned enough for Majnun to see her face and she was beautiful! She had large hazel eyes and deep tan skin. Her eyebrows and hair were both quite bushy and large, a pale brown in color and left wild. It was straight but bushy and very wild, clearly having not been brushed by anything but the wind in a while. It looked like she was holding something infront of herself under her cloak, till her actual arms moved a bit and he realised what was holding the front of her cloak out was her breasts! Majnun let out an audible gasp at that and the woman's eyes immediately spotted him and she smiled.

"Oh, a wanderer, so far out in the sands? Come, you must be exhausted." She raised an arm to usher him forward, and through the gap in made in the front of her cloak he seen she wore absolutely nothing under it.

Even as he approached her, the sand under her feet darkened and compacted. Water started to seep up from deep within the earth in the exact place she stood at the heart of the greenery! She seemed completely calm, and did not even acknowledge it, like it was something that happened all the time.

"Please, where did you come from to get here? Do you... not see what is happening around you? It is some sort of miracle!"

She giggled musically. "I suppose it is. This is my power, I bring bounty wherever I go. I guess I have been away from this pool for too long, and it dried up completely in my absence. My name is Oasis. Where have you come from?"

Majnun finally managed to navigate the growing plants and shifting earth to stand by her. She was just as tall as he is. "I am Majnun from Ghabar. We recently learned of ruins beyond the sands so I set out to try and learn more of our world, and recover treasures, but... my supplies are almost gone. I did not even have enough to return on."

"Oh dear, I have never been to Ghabar. Why did you set out with so few supplies? Did you not have a caravan with you?"

Majnun shook his head, dunking his head into the rising water several times before he was able to reply. "My town was content without knowing, so I had to set out on my own, and I can only carry so much before the weight hinders me. The caravan that visited a while ago seemed perfectly fine, like the desert was nothing for them. It caused me to misjudge the difficulty..."

Oasis pat him on his head as the water level ascended past their hips and told him it would be ok now. She ushered him to the side of the growing pool since the water level was still rising. She motioned around them to the trees and bushes as flowers quickly bloomed, telling Majnun that they would be fruit soon enough. Hers was the power of bounty- but you cannot eat the power. In order to use it she needs to find living things, like the remnants of this dead patch of plants to revive and bare fruit, to transform her raw power into something edible. Even with her power, she cannot turn a desert into a garden, because there needs to be at least remnants of something living for her power to adhere to. Oasis told him she is from a large city called Mahaan Ghar that stands on the opposite end of the desert, but the ruins the caravaners spoke of were likely her own temple Aldarae, which is close to Mahaan Ghar but still in the desert. She grumbled a bit, now knowing someone stole from her temple while she was gone. Majnun caught a glimpse of red out of the corner of his eyes and immediately reached over without even getting fully up to snatch up the vibrant red berries growing on a bush. Oasis quickly moved and gently slapped his hand out of the way.

"Nu uh, no eating. Those are mine."

"But I need supplies. If what you say is true I have once again the distance to travel to reach Mahaan Ghar or Ghabar from here! Ok... what can I eat then, if you want these berries."

"Oh, none of this stuff." The stress lines in his brow deepened and Oasis gave him a sympathetic look. "No, I know what you think. I will get you there safe, don't worry. I will provide you a bounty, but... I need the supplies from this place. I can turn them into something better for you. The plants convert my power into something edible, but I can turn those edibles into something perfect for a human. It is a multi-step process."

Majnun had to fight the urge to gorge himself on all the fruiting plants around him. He had no reason to doubt Oasis though- she had created this area in a matter of moments, she clearly had a lot of power. She gathered up the berries with extremely deft hand movements- clearly experienced in plucking fruit. The trick to a lot of berry picking is to twist rather than pull, so you do not accidentally pop the soft berry. Majnun decided to help her, and started picking fruit for her to eat. She gobbled them up by the handful, which was almost painful for Majnun to watch with his empty stomach. As he followed her to the next spot to harvest though, he noticed her footprints. They were not human. They looked like... tiny camel tracks!

"Wait, your feet...! I seen a camel before was... is... ?" He scrunched his brow again in thought.

Oasis glanced at her footprints in the moist sand and then smiled warmly again. "Oh, yea. I have two forms, this is my human form. Well, as close to full human as I can get." She stuck a leg out from the front of her cloak to show him. It looked human up till the foot, which was circular and ended in only two large toes, with thick toenails. It was not quite a camel foot either, but closer to camel than human. "That is why my cloak is so long that it drags on the ground- it was made for my avatar form, not my human shape."

Her appetite seemed to have no end. She ate what both she and Majnun gathered without hesitation, like she herself was starved. But there was a massive bounty here- enough food to feed an entire family well, and Oasis was eating it entirely on her own! She even ate the seeds! Fruit with large pits she shoved into her mouth and swallowed whole, pit, skin and everything! Majnun did not think he could even fit some of those in his mouth, never mind swallow it like that! While her appetite did not wane, he did notice her movements becoming increasingly sluggish. Oasis was rubbing her stomach below her cloak, trying to sort the food out in her gut to settle some extra space. She eventually groaned and stopped moving. She found a nice big tree and heavily sat down between roots to rest, her gut too heavy for a lot of walking.

Majnun was going to ask if she still wanted the remaining food harvested, but she spoke first, telling him it was time for him to eat. To his surprise she opened her cloak to reveal her titanic breasts to him! Majnun had never, even in his imagination, seen breasts as massive as these! They were the size of a large pumpkin each! Her own head was half the size of each one! Her bumpy areola were a shade of brown that was nearly black, and her nipples were erect, though not from arousal or temperature. Her nipples were forced almost entirely erect from the heavy load they were trying to hold back! They were massively engorged with milk! Milk was both food and water at the same time, a type of sustenance made specifically for all mammals. He approached her cautiously, assuming what she intended but not entirely sure, just because of how odd it all was. She just smiled at his reservations and pat the ground beside her for him to sit and then heft her massive right boob for him to take. Majnun leaned over and latched on to her swollen fat nipple and the milk immediately started to leak into his mouth without him even having to suck. Every suck produced a thick stream of heavy milk. Because she has been eating almost entirely sweet fruit and berries, her milk was also sweet. He almost felt like a babe at his mother's breast, because of how huge it was compared to his head. As he drank, his face was pressed against a soft, springy wall of hot flesh. As Majnun drank, Oasis started to pluck seeds from her mouth and place them in pockets on the cloak. Her body was rejecting the seeds and pits after consuming the flesh of the fruit.

Majnun eventually popped off her breast, thanking her for the meal and Oasis laughed, saying his stomach must have shrank out in the desert to have eaten so little. Majnun just thought her own appetite was so crazy huge. The town of Ghabar has never known a bounty like the one that follows her every day. Oasis told him to gather the rest of the fruit for her to eat, and let his stomach settle a bit- she wanted him to at least drink some milk from her other breast after, to even her out. As he gathered even more fruit, Oasis got onto her hands and knees to drink from the crystal clear pool of water she summoned from so far below the land. The problem with reviving a desert is that the sand doesn't retain water. Whenever it does rain, the water falls through the sand immediately and collects far underground. You need plants to hold the sand together, to die and rot into the sand to make it soil, and then the soil can grasp the water, to make a bed for newborn plants. So the first step is to spread seeds and let them grow- even if they die soon after, it is still part of a foundation for future growth. Oasis chugged water, feeling the liquid weigh heavily in her stomach. She drank so much that you could actually see her gut rounding out, and stretching farther out, till it brushed the sand below her. That was not all Majnun noticed though. Something moved under her cloak behind her.

"Is that... a tail?"

Oasis finally sat upright on her knees, wobbling a bit from the liquid sloshing in her gut. "Ooof... oh. Yea, I have a... well... a sort-of tail."

She tugged her long trailing cloak up and raised her tail for him to see. It sure looked like a tail, at least in shape. The texture though was definitely not flesh... its bark. Her tail was made of wood, with gnarled brown bark, but it still bent and flexed as if it were made of normal skin. Even more odd is the underside of the tail was lined with around twelve bulb-like fruit that Majnun had never seen before! The fruit was shaped like a bulbous onion, orange on the bulbous portion and faded to pink at the slight point at its bottom. They were connected to the tail by very short, fat stems and wobbled whenever she moved her tail. She squirmed herself around to plop heavily back onto her butt and sat on her own tail so it stuck between her legs, wedged in between her butt cheeks, with the fruit resting ontop of it.

Oasis pointed to the fruit Majnun gathered in his arms. "I will trade you for one of mine~."

Bewildered how she has bark growing out of her, he still brought her the massive load of food and she quickly started eating again, even though her stomach looked like it might pop at this point. Her navel inverted from internal pressure and her stomach started to look smoother as her pours were stretched flat.

Majnun went to touch one of the fruits on her tail, the one at the very end but hesitated. "These are... part of your body? Can you feel the fruit?"

She paused between mouthfuls. "Yea I can fully feel them, but you don't have to worry about hurting me, once you pop it off I can't feel it anymore. Oh, but just a heads up..." She heft a huge breast. "This is where I store the sweet." She pointed to her tail. "That is where I keep the sour." She giggled again. "And don't worry- I don't produce seeds."

Oasis resumed gorging herself and Majnun gently touched the fruit. He squeezed it gently, causing Oasis to moan a bit with a full mouth. The body of it was a bit springy, and the skin was smooth. It was impossible to tell if the fruit was warm from growing out of a human, or because they were in a desert and everything was warm. Majnun also took a cautiously quick glance up trying to see where the wood joined flesh, but could not see it from how she sat. Her pussy was in full view sat on the tail and it was fully human. The thin mat of brown hair above her pussy was darker than the hair on her head because it had not been bleached by the sun, and it was oddly well trimmed for someone wandering the desert. That was an odd bonus to having two forms- when she turned back to human from avatar form, her pubes defaulted to this state. So if they started to grow too unsightly she could turn feral, then revert human and her pubes will return to this trimmed state without actually having to trim them. Majnun almost made himself chuckled as he thought 'she actually has three camel toes' after seeing her pussy.

Using her own technique to pick the fruit, he gently twisted it and it came loose easily enough- they were all ripe thanks to her gorging. After turning it in his hand for a moment he finally bit in, and immediately regretting taking such a large bite. She was not kidding when she said it was sour! The juice of the Oasis fruit was probably cleaning his teeth from the sheer level of acidity! He had to quickly chew and swallow, because it was so sour that if he left it idle on his tongue all his taste buds would go numb. There was even a hint of... heat? The skin was spicy, the meat of the fruit was sour. The skin was taught and springy, but the innards were very soft- more liquid than solid. It was not till he swallowed most of it that he even had a chance to try and examine the flavour, and it tasted oddly similar to a banana. Only instead of being very sweet, it was heinously sour. Although his facial expression looked like someone was inflicting physical pain on him the entire time, Majnun did eagerly eat the rest of the fruit. The sour juice was a refreshing contrast, and his body needed all the sustenance it could get to face the wretched desert again. According to Oasis he was basically in the middle of it. Rather than get closer to a new location he had found his way to the farthest possible point from EVERY location.

Once Oasis finished the last of the gathered fruit from the ocean she groaned and pat her huge stomach. Her breasts even looked like they got a bit bigger too. She flexed her body forward a bit before letting out a long sigh.

"Help! I can't even bend my torso, I am too full. If I return to avatar form while sitting like a human I will probably hurt my back." She held her arms out and wiggled in place to emphasize how she was anchored.

Majnun was not even sure he could lift her. Her actual body probably did not weigh much, but her gut was huge and her breasts gigantic- both filled with a good amount of fluids too. She rocked forward when he took her hands and used her tail against the ground to spring her up onto her feet. Once she was on her feet she told him to get a bit of distance, and already he could hear a quiet muffled groaning as her bones started to enlarge, causing her entire body to slowly get bigger. The nails on her toes grew huge and encased their ends giving her more proper camel toe as her legs bulked up from bottom to top. Because it progressed in a clear direction, it looked at first just like her ankles were extending upward like someone extending a car jack. Other than size, her thighs and butt remained relatively the same shape, and she did not grow a tail since... well, she already had one. Following a bit behind the growth and reformation was her very fine fur, a sand colored fuz. Her stomach then seemed to get sucked in like someone yanked the strings on an invisible corset. She gasped loudly and stiffened a bit knowing what was coming as the excess mass did not vanish, it just moved. Her rib cage cracked loudly in rapid fire, again from top to bottom doubling its girth, in addition to the overall growth which was still happening at a slower pace. Her spine gave a few muffled pops and extended as her upper torso grew still more. Of course, having all that weight shift up and her body mass increase so tremendously, she could not remain standing and fell onto her hands. Because her legs were already done transforming, this put her ass straight up in the air because her arms were like toothpicks in comparison to her legs. Her huge tits brushed against the ground but only for a moment, enough to annoyingly tease her fat nipples and then her breasts started to shrink.

As her breasts shrank two more changes happened, the most immediately noticeable was her back bulging up and out in two places, one behind her shoulders and one more mid-back. The humps on a camel are pure fat, that is how they store excess food and water to allow them to travel otherwise dead lands for weeks without needing resources. Breasts are also almost pure fat, so it was not so much a material conversion as a simple transfer- the mass that was her breasts was travelling to her back almost entirely unchanged. It really looked gigantic since her arms and head were still perfectly human, causing the humps to dwarf them in size several times over. Breasts were not entirely just fat though, there was still muscle tissue to hold their form, there was mammary glands and milk ducts and many pleasure nerves- so the other change during this was their repurposing. There remained a bare patch on her crotch the fur did not touch, and the skin there turned black and started to bloat up into an udder! Oasis grunted and made several lowing sounds like a camel as her arms started to crack and pop and grow as her hands simplified into camel feet slowly. It was much more strained than with her legs because most of her body weight was forced onto them while they were trying to transform. As part of the change, the food she ate became very rapidly absorbed and processed, and her two humps once again stretched even bigger, and her udder got a burst of growth as well. The growing hill puffed up and tightened, becoming a cluster of four hills and her four teats started to push out of the skin causing her to step back and forth with her rear legs, unable to touch herself right now as the pleasure nerves went crazy growing into the teats.

Majnun was almost spooked by the louder creaking groan, sounding like reforming bone but unlike the rest it was not muffled at all, it sounded exposed! He had to step to the side to see it over her huge humps- her 'tail' was transforming. There was a thin stripe of wood up from her rump where the tail attached to her, but it was now expanding both in girth and length, and sprouting more stems! The movements of the tail became more rigid and it grew many small branches that started growing leaves and a few blossoms- the fruit that had been there remained hanging on. A new growth at the top of the stripe started to quickly outmatch its growth, growing into a small tree! She had a small tree growing out against the back curve of her lower hump, and another tiny tree just over her butt that used to be her tail. The tree was covered in pink blossoms speckled black- all of which would turn into fruit by the end of the day. Her udder finished growing, extremely large for a camel with very fat, full teats because she was perpetually lactating. It was still not as big as a dairy cow, but absolutely tremendous for a camel.

Oasis groaned as her neck bulked up tremendously, the transformation finally reaching for her head. Her nostrils grew large, causing her nose to enlarge to keep up. Her forehead and the bridge of her nose started to press out at the same time, leveling them out with one another. Oasis' lips grew very large and soft and broadened as her face pushed out more and more. Her head throbbed with blood pressure trying to feed all the growth so she couldn't really hear anything other than her own heart beat while this happened. Her neck continued to stretch longer and longer, causing her to bow her head several times- dipping when the growth increased its length and weight and then raising when the muscle structure caught up. Her hair seemed to fuse to her, becoming a mat of fur rather than falling off. Some camel have a very shaggy neck- she was somewhat a halfway point, being bushy where her human hair was, but fine fur everywhere else. Her head did not take long at all to finish changing, though it always felt longer to her. Camels have comparatively small heads and hips- they are almost all upper torso and hump.

Oasis stomped all four legs to feel how solid they were- knocking a few beads of excess milk from her udder by accident. The leaves on her tree rustled as the hot dry wind started to kick up, and she motioned to her back.

"Well? Get on, you can sit between humps, my tree will shade you. Can you fix my cloak though before you get on? It got a bit askew when I changed."

"R-ride you?"

"Well yea. Camel feet are super wide so they don't sink in the sand. I can get us back to Mahaan Ghar by sundown. And even if something goes wrong and I don't- I have plenty of milk to keep you fed and hydrated and plenty of fat I can break down to feed myself. I told you I would get you out of here alright, its kinda what I do."

"Alright then... just promise not to spit on me, haha."

Oasis rolled her eyes. "That is more of a male camel thing, for one. Part of their mating habits, a male vomits one of his internal organs to show off, and then re-swallows it. When they get spitty, they are just practicing."

Majnun thought about how blown away the people of Ghabar would be when he returned on the back of a beautiful camel diety. But the more he thought about it, the more he thought he would like to probably stay in Mahaan Ghar for a while. Or forever. Or better yet, stay at Aldarae with Oasis, even though he had found the greatest treasure the temple ruins had to offer already- Oasis.
