Kate originally went to court confidently. She snuck into an Arcanist's library and released several runic array configurations to the public. Her argument was that magic should not be just for the rich and powerful; everyone should have access to it. Magic was here before humans- what gives humans the right to gate-keep it from anyone? The Arcanist of course was furious and took her to court immediately because now his rivals have knowledge of his research, and they all suffer because now common folk will be attempting the magic themselves instead of coming to professionals. The court itself however was more interested in the fact that untrained common folk now had magic runes and could burn the entire city to the ground with a misfired spell. The fact that people could potentially die as a result was slightly more concerning than either of their arguments.

Kate entered the court with confidence, ready to stand behind what she had done as the morally correct course of action. Half way into the trial she had become very quiet and slunk back in her chair more with every passing moment. The Justicar himself was ignoring the Arcanist's case and imposed his own- sentencing Kate for endangering the public. Already from trying the magic runes to see if they even work- several accidents were cropping up. People transforming part of their body but then not being able to turn themselves back, people conjuring fire only to burn themselves, or trying to teleport only to appear halfway through a wall, smashing a perfectly human-shaped hole into the wall and also trapping the person till someone smashes them out again. The Justicar sentenced Kate for every one of these as if she had been the one deliberately doing it to them. And with every aspect he reviews, her punishment deepens. Three days in the stocks, five years in a cell, fifty years in prison... death.

The punishment for inciting mass chaos and endangering the pubic as a whole- death. She isn't getting prison time they are just going to remove her head. If her judgement is so poor as to endanger the people around her- she isn't someone they can allow to roam free, and if she is going to be behind bars forever anyway; no one wants to pay her food and shelter, they just kill her.

A man stood up out of the audience with his hand raised before the Justicar could finish his sentencing. "A hundred gold!"

The Justicar furrowed his brows at him. "What?"

"For the woman."

"Sir... this isn't an auction, sit down."

He brushed his small chin-beard in mock confusion. "Hmm, but you are going to take her life away?"

"Correct."

"So that means you own her life- otherwise you couldn't decide what happens to it. So if you own her- I want to buy her from you."

The Justicar was ready to just brush him off, but then paused in thought. If she is with him- then the responsibility of paying for her continued survival is on him alone. If she is always with him- then she can't endanger anyone else; at worst she just endangers him. She is just going to die otherwise, anything is better than nothing, right?

The Justicar shrugged, clacking his gavel down and pointing it to the man in the suit. "Sold to the man in the back."

Kate abruptly stood up out of her seat. "WHAT?! Y-you can't do this!"

The Justicar half-drew his sword glancing at her as he stepped down from behind the podium to leave. "Oh?"

Kate slowly sat back down, face beet-red. The man who bought her is James Stonepeak- an Arcanist. One of the rivals of the Arcanist Kate exposed. She hurt his business too unintentionally with her actions- but not nearly as bad as his rivals'. She sat across from him in the carriage ride back to his place- but did not say a word, and avoided eye contact. James just grinned at her. His home is a mansion up on a hill- though from the outside it almost looks abandoned. He does not employ any servants which are usually required to keep an estate of this size, so the yard has become progressively more overgrown. The hedges half-cover the ground floor windows and rampant morning glory vines have swallowed half the entire building on the outside. There was clumps of moss forming on the roof!

On the inside the halls are relatively barren- he does not own enough furniture to actually fill the mansion. Most of the many rooms have been converted into giant runic arrays or house a collection of magical artifacts on display. One room almost entirely filled with eitr- which is how most spells are cast. Ambient mana is too weak in this world to use for larger spells; the spells cast with just ambient energy are short-lived. Eitr is a dark red stone normally, but the stone insulates mana- which means when the stone is left underground long enough it starts to glow blue and become crystalline from all the mana trapped inside of it. That is why it is also known as 'Witch's Gold'.

James brought Kate to a rather opulent looking bedroom, telling her that this is her room from now on! The bed was huge and had a canopy draped in translucent curtains. A huge mirror, a big window and a walk in closet! He also returned a few minutes later holding a large shackle and chains. Why does he already own something like that?! Kate scowled at him as he put the giant shackle around her neck, and the other end of the chain was fixed to a bed post. He also locked the door from the outside with magic so she could definitely not get out. Kate failed to notice all the magic runes inscribed on the inside of the shackle.

James returned ten minutes later with some books in his hand and timidly waved at her as he entered the room. "Okay, so, introductions are in order-"

"I know who you are, they told me when they transferred 'custody', ugh."

"Riight. Okay- about that. This is only a temporary thing, I don't intend to actually y'know, keep you like a... pet, or something. The Justicar will get uppity if I release you back onto the streets here, but I can just as easily have you sent somewhere else and let go."

"Ah, so this is just you playing out some sick fantasy, then letting me go once you get bored."

James sighed. "So, are you aware those runes you hijacked were protected by a spell?"

She shrugged, causing the chains to rattle. "They must have missed, I never got hit by anything."

"Mmm, they didn't though. They were protected by a transformation spell that would turn you into a mouse if you attempted to tamper with them or access them without permission. It was meant to be a somewhat ironic fate as most of the runes themselves are transformative. But... it was a mechanism to prevent you from tampering or reading them without permission- not prevent you from stealing the runes themselves. Riccard didn't think anyone would attempt to just up and leave with his research in hand because as soon as they used his spell he would recognize it was his and immediately know who did it. But you also did not KEEP the runes, you gave them out like candy to random strangers."

"How did that prevent his dumb trap from working?"

"Because you took the runes for that transformation too. So when the spell was activated the mouse rune was missing- so it would have picked whatever form runes were closest to it, and since you were shuffling them around; no one knows what rune that was."

"But I am perfectly-"

"Fine because the guards have anti-magic measures in the event of a belligerent Arcanist. The court of the Justicar is for obvious reasons insulated against magic, and as an Arcanist myself- my own house has to be set up to control the flow of magic. See- I can't let you go right now because as soon as you exit the range of magic wards you will start to transform into an animal and I don't even know what that animal IS."

"B-but you can just undo the spell; you are an Arcanist yourself!"

"Right but not a transformations expert like Riccard, and also his runes are not the same as mine- I don't know what his research looks like."

"So you have to make Riccard undo it?"

James chuckled, trying to keep a straight face but failing. "No- that is the best part. He can't help you either, because the reversal spell was among the runes you tossed out onto the street like confetti. He can't cure you because YOU stole the counter spell and gave it to a random stranger. So unless Riccard can retrace his research, or whoever got that rune is found and the rune recovered- you are stuck with your transformation."

"S-so I am stuck here to prevent me from transforming?"

"Eeeeeh- also no. I mean, to an extent. I am an Arcanist- and I can learn a bit about what Riccard has been doing behind the curtains by reverse-engineering what happens to you. That shackle you have on now has the warding runes that are keeping you human. I will remove the shackle every now and then to progress the transformation in a way that is stuttered, both so I can observe it in steps and also so you can adjust to whatever it is trying to turn you into. Maybe someone finds the rune to turn you back in the meantime. Less ideal- Riccard makes a new one that works. Best-case scenario; I am able to make a reversal myself from what I learn from observing your changes."

"...and if no one figures it out?"

"Then you'll have been eased into your new form by the stuttered changes and hopefully not be too much of a freak to live a full life? I mean- he most likely just had a lot of farm animal runes, so I can't imagine you ending up with anything too crazy."

James left Kate to herself in her new bedroom. The chain tethering her to the bed post was long enough that she could reach most of the room- but thanks to where the bed is positioned her chain runs out of length before she can reach the door. He doesn't know what she is going to turn into- it could potentially be dangerous, and he also does not trust her to not try and escape anyway. And James was correct in that assumption. She would have attempted to escape already, if she had not been told that removing the shackle would turn her into an animal. The shackle is loose around her neck, but the gap is not quite large enough for her to get it off her head- it can juuust barely slide up around her lower jaw but it snags on the hinge of her jaws just under her ears.

So Kate is essentially a lab rat for James now. As far as the surrounding city is concerned- she is a dead woman already. It was mid-afternoon when James popped in again- dropping off some books for her to look at if she wants so Kate doesn't get bored to death stuck in her room. Before leaving he tapped the chain leading to her collar and a metallic orange glow fired up and down its length- momentarily creating a gap in the ward's effects, letting her transformation spell activate briefly. He left her to herself to experience the effects. He would examine her after.

Kate squirmed on the bed in her plain linen dress. Her body felt an odd sensation- a mild heat, a very subdued tingle, and an outward pressure all at once. But it concentrated on random areas, appearing and vanishing quickly. It was like her body could not decide what part to transform first. Whenever it attempted to change part of her; her nervousness caused that part of her body to tense up, and her brain concentrating on how it looks currently caused it to not change. But she can only concentrate on one thing at a time and the spell is prodding all over. Kate tugged at her chains and squirmed around on the bed, in a panic over what to do, even though there realistically is nothing she could do.

Her eyes widened when she felt her tail bone press out, quickly clapping her hands over it and the skin quickly snapped back into place- but as a result the next pulse in her ears could not be stopped. She scrunched her neck and tensed up trying to resist it but failing. It felt like someone tugging at her ear tips gently, they felt so warm, and then an annoying tickle as a fine coat of fur also grew onto the backs of her ears! The cartilage thinned and spread, creating a leaf-shaped ear and then it cinched at the base as new muscles were created to allow the ears mobility. Kate gently reached up to touch them, they were sensitive and flicked immediately in reflex to being touched. She moaned and bowed forward a bit while rubbing her ears between her thumb and fingers- they are still growing! Their shape did not alter from this shape but their overall size was expanding. They grew to the size of her entire hand and fingers, then larger than the very head they are attached to! They became longer a bit faster than they grew in breadth and grew too heavy for their own new muscles to hold up for any length of time- forcing them to flop over. They hung on either side of her head, limp and floppy when in resting.

She was too distracted with her ears changing to even attempt to resist when the next surge began even before her ears stopped- this time in her feet. Her nails turned milky grey as the layers of keratin built unnaturally dense. The skin started to get pushed away as the nails expanded larger, becoming blocky, then lightening a bit to take on a rounded triangular shape. Grey turned to charcoal grey, then finally matte black. Her feet started to lengthen and compress, but either the transformation ran out of wiggle room or her desperate attempts to resist the changes actually worked- the changes stalled here. She still had feet, just... really, really weird looking feet. Kate's middle two toes were stretched and expanded huge trying to keep up with the nails which were now small hoof segments. The outer two toes were deformed but had not really grown. Her big toe actually did the opposite of the others. It did not follow when the rest of the foot grew in length- so her big toe was now some distance behind the others and looked like it had regressed a bit in size. The nail on her big toe was also soft- she can bend it easily by pushing against it with her fingers.

She stood up to test her malformity, and found she can still walk like a plantigrade... but because her feet are so long it sort of feels like she is wearing clown shoes, even when barefoot. She ended up just slipping her socks off and tossing them to the side... they don't really fit anymore- they cover her foot only, not her ankle or any of her leg, so as soon as she moves around they keep slipping off anyway.

James came to check up on her in a bit, nodding and taking some notes- sending out an arcane pulse through the room, allowing him alone to see the arcane signature in her body to compare it to the one he already mapped. "Very interesting."

She perched on the side of the bed like a gargoyle as he took his notes. "Glad you think so. I am a freak."

"Well the transformation only just started- of course it is going to look weird at this point, it's not done! That is like putting a tray of dough into the oven for three minutes and then calling it an ugly piece of bread. Of course it is ugly- it's not done!" He smirked. "I could send the next pulse, if you wanted to speed this along?"

She collected the chain up quickly to keep it out of his reach. "N-n-no!"

James shrugged. "Suit yourself. You'll have to stay the ugly duckling till you want to become a swan."

She spent the remainder of the day reading- putting herself in the shoes of a protagonist of another world, to forget about the reality of hers. She found herself occasionally petting her ears idly- the skin on the insides is very soft and smooth, and they feel good to be rubbed. It took her some time to get to sleep that night, her mind kept going over thoughts of what she could turn into. The spell pulled whatever rune was closest- if there was multiple runes at the same distance it will have taken all of them. Never mind a barnyard creature- Kate could end up a hideous chimera of ALL the barnyard creatures if she was really unlucky.

Kate tossed and turned in the night through dreams of turning into one animal after the other and having to live her life on a farm somewhere because no one was able to turn her back. Little did she realize that the forms she took in the dreams were being influenced by actual changes to her body in the real world- James released a pulse while she is sleeping! Of course; the first change to hit was her feet, since they had unfinished business.

The nail of her big toe softened even more, fusing to the skin itself and then regressing into the flesh entirely! The toe itself regressed in size till it was nothing more than a bubble of extra skin, and then nothing at all, reducing her digit count to four per foot. Her feet grew larger and longer still- her shins now shortening a bit as mass was stolen away by her feet! The bones in her feet were compressed while expanding and started to fuse together into a single bone. Her digits became massive and the central hoof segments overgrew the tips of her toes! As the foot lengthened, the outer two toes folded back and together becoming the dew claws on the back of the foot. The remaining two became the primary segments of a cloven hoof. The bones made quiet creaking sounds as they stretched and changed, then the occasional muffled pop or click as the joints re-set into their new positions. She kept curling and uncurling her toes as this happened in her sleep- though all that did at this point was bob the hoof up and down.

Even in her sleep she groaned and rolled her head back and forth as two bubbles of bone swelled up over her temples. Bigger and thicker- keratin bled from the bone and formed knobs, then cones. The bigger they got the sharper the tip became and the more concentrated the pressure was in her flesh. It became a sharp pain- almost enough to wake her before the spikes of keratin broke the skin, then quickly shoved their way out. The budding horns pulled the skin taut around their bases so the wounds could not really bleed- but the horns did get smeared with the color of rust from blood painting their surface as they grew. Off-white horns, like sun-tanned bone. They did not point forward- they stuck out to either side.

When Kate woke up she was a bit flustered- she noticed her changes almost immediately. As soon as she tried to turn over; one of her horns snagged the pillow so when she sat up the pillow came with her! Then she tried to get out of bed to look in the mirror and almost hurt herself. She stood up on her ankles... which her legs are no longer built for. There is no flat surface to balance on other than her hooves- and her cannon bones are so long she could not lift them properly trying to stand like that anyway, and would drag a third of her legs on the ground every time she tried to take a step.

Kate used the bed posts to help her stand up onto her hooves and wobbled a bit, not used to having to balance on such a narrow surface. She then growled and yanked on the end of the chain- seeing if she could use the metal shackle to break the bed post or slip it off somehow but the bed was likely enchanted in some way to not be broken in that way. It is also fixed to both the floor and roof by the bed posts, so she could not try and move the entire bed itself. But can it take her entire body weight?

Kate carefully went over to the window and climbed out over the planter on the outside edge of it. She used her hard, sharp edged hooves to wedge against the brick on the outside of the building and then fell back- yanking her entire body weight onto the chain. The bed did not budge, and while the links of the chain made a grinding sound as they snapped tight together- they too were not bending. Kate sighed and went to climb back inside and almost slipped; her eyes now wide in realization of how badly thought-out her plan was. She probably shouldn't try to make escape plans when she has just barely woken up. She is balanced almost perfectly horizontal- her upper half held up by the tension of the chain and her lower half with her hooves against the wall. If she bows forward her hooves will slip and then she will be hanging from her neck alone and potentially choke herself to death. She also cannot climb back up if she cannot reach anything with her arms, and she can't reach anything without bending forward!

"JAAAAMES!"

"...WHAT?"

"HELP."

The window below her on the ground floor opened and James popped his head out with a coffee in his hand. "Why does it sound like you are outsi- what the blazes are you doing out there?!"

"I slipped."

"And fell OVER the entire planter outside the window? I somehow doubt that. I don't know how you thought that escape attempt was going to go. Even if you broke the chain you'd fall and snap your legs and then not be able to go anywhere regardless!"

"I-I... wasn't trying to escape."

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I am being held up by my neck!"

"You were already being held up before I started talking to you!"

"JUST GET ME INSIDE AGAIN."

Once he collected her back into her room, she tried to chew him out about being in her bedroom last night and how creepy that is- only for James to quickly shut down that thought, informing her that he does not need to be in the room with her to do a pulse-deactivation of the ward. He can cause a small burst of changes from anywhere in the mansion, he doesn't need to be with her or even know exactly where she is- she just needs to be relatively close.

James unlinked the chain to let her downstairs for an early lunch. All he had was random veggies from his garden, but asked her what food she would like and then used his conjuring magic to re-configure the biomass of the veggies into whatever food you wanted. Basically a transformation spell for food. James seemed like a nice guy- he had no intention of being cruel to her or doing anything twisted. He also made no attempt to hide the fact that he is using her as a lab rat. He cannot claim to be saving her from anything, because he cannot currently cure her and he is deliberately letting the ward fail in controlled bursts- so Kate will end up transformed one way or the other. There is a decent chance he will learn how to undo the spell by watching her transform, but even he admits openly that he is primarily doing it to learn how to use his rival's latest magic- not to actually help her. Helping her would be a happy side-effect. But the fact that he makes no attempt to hide any of that is also a credit to his character.

"So... do you know what I am turning into yet?"

"No. Something with horns and hooves, so a mammal. That could still be any number of species- and the fact that you could potentially be a hybrid of species does not help identification. Right now I am looking at a puzzle where only 10% of the pieces have actually been put together. " He shook his head. "That isn't enough pieces to tell what the finished puzzle depicts." He smiled. "But you know what will help?"

She shook her head. "Oooh no!"

He slapped his open hand down on the other end of the long dining hall table and a metallic orange glow fired down its length straight at her! Kate quickly got up from her seat to try and bolt, but stumbled a bit because she isn't used to walking on hooves and before she even got her balance properly the spell-wave already passed through her.

James gave her a sympathetic look, but still chuckled at her expense. "What did you think you were going to do? Dodge it? It isn't a directional spell- it hits everything within a half-mile radius. You could be the fastest creature on the planet and you still couldn't have dodged that." It only became visible moving towards her because it was manifesting more intensely in response to the ward she wears being in its effective range.

Her body started to get twitchy again. The warmth and outward pressure making her sweat and groan softly, furrowing her brows as she tries to concentrate on it to resist. Even if it is impossible to hold off completely; she does not want to give in immediately either, because then she gives the impression she is enjoying it and she doesn't want to give him the satisfaction.

The sensation made her muscles flinch physically too- which startled her a few times. Her arms lifting slightly on their own, her shoulder blades threatening to reform. A tickle on her spine, another outward push from her tail bone. A pleasurable buzz from her crotch caused her to bow forward suddenly, placing her hands onto her crotch, but rather than cause the sensation to flinch and wake up from its trance- it only amplified it!

Touching it made it even more pleasurable and cemented that as the next change! The skin stiffened in four points where the pleasure also concentrated, but touching them also made her nipples tingle! It was like the signals are crossed in her brain- touching the four stiff spots on her crotch felt like she was also touching the nipples on her breasts even though her hands were nowhere near them!

Kate scowled at him across the long table. "Y-you pervert!"

He just raised his hands in an exaggerated shrug. "I don't even know what is happening to you right now, in what way does that make me a pervert?"

She turned her back to him even though he couldn't really see anything in the first place. Her nipples stood erect from feeling like they are being touched, tenting the front of her shirt slightly. Her top is just a thin T shirt and her breasts are just B cups so she usually did not bother to wear a bra in the first place. She didn't exactly plan to move in with James so she doesn't have access to her wardrobe to be able to change into anything new. The stiff spots on her lower gut and upper crotch started to swell into little bumps, then into nubs of flesh. More nipples! They were not discolored like the nipples on her breasts though- they had no areola; the nipples are the same color her regular skin is. The areola on her breasts are small, solid edged and dark brown in contrast to her pale peach skin.

As it became clear she was growing many nipples and she could not stop the pleasure even if she stopped touching them with her hands- Kate became increasingly flustered at James being present. Even though he just resumed eating his lunch casually on the other end of the twenty foot long table. He didn't need to watch her- he will know what happened as soon as he does his magic scan of her afterwards anyway, so her efforts to hide it seem like a waste of energy. She darted away to return to her room quickly to get privacy. She stumbled many times on the way back- needing to lean heavily against the wall or guard railing to stay up. The pleasure was causing her to flinch, which causes her to bow forward toward its source- but she isn't balanced well on her hooves, so bowing forward suddenly tips her center of gravity.

The new nipples quickly became larger than her originals, both longer and thicker! The skin blushed a much richer tone of peach, and then a slightly deeper peach toward the ends. The richer coloration bled out from their base and followed the intensity of the pleasure radiating out from them, causing her entire lower gut and upper crotch to take this pigmentation. Then it started to look a bit puffy, swollen from the ceaseless bombardment of sensations.

"No... an udder? Oh no... he did say most of the transformations were supposed to be farm animals..."

The only farm animals with a four segment udder are cow or alpaca. Camel, depending on how loose your definition of 'farm' is. She leaned against the wall heavily and basically slid forward along it to get the rest of the way to her bedroom. Her spine tickled and she could feel her shirt shuffle around on its own- reaching one arm up behind herself to feel around and found a mat of fur on her upper back! The changes seemed to pause there again. She stood up off the wall, her hooves clacking against the wood floor but she stopped in front of the door to her bedroom. She isn't chained up right now and James isn't watching her. She could sneak out!

Kate stood near the wall- the place least likely for the old floors to creak when walked on, and dashed down the other end of the hall. The top floor is sort of U shaped- there is another flight of stairs down on the other end of the mansion she can get down and to the front door without James knowing. When she got to the poorly lit back end of the top floor she started to feel dizzy. Her head suddenly felt... full. Like, physically full- like someone had stuffed her skull full of cotton. She groaned and then wobbled and collapsed onto the floor.

Kate was not at all ready when the next wave of changes suddenly hit, and so had zero defense when the sensation of growth fired down her arms and concentrated into her hands. At the same time though- her barely noticeable udder started to assert itself and swell more, but this time her breasts also grew slowly with it! The automatic pleasure made her moan and prevented her from gathering herself enough to get up off the floor again! She is on her hands and knees, so the changes in her arms almost felt like she was unconsciously shoving herself up off the floor- but it was her hands lengthening!

Soft clicks and pops sounded off as the hundreds of tiny bones in her hands shuffled around and changed all at once! Her nails turned milky, then darkened as they devolved toward hoof segments too. Oh no, not her hands! She can't even feed herself properly without those! The feelings were so intense this time she could barely think to even attempt to resist them. Even her horns felt a dull pressure and started to grow longer now! The body of the horns is not perfectly round- a cross-section of them would be shaped like a crescent moon; and that became more obvious the longer they grow, because they are starting to twist.

"Why... sooo-ooh-ooOHH... so strong..?"

She looked around and struggled to get up before her eyes widened and she seen a large spherical object embedded in the wall over one of the doors! A mana conductor! They channel the mana out of eitr through an area allowing ambient energy to cast spells with, in a controlled area. James did not de-activate her ward; she is changing now because she is so close to his Eitr crystal storage that the energy is overwhelming the ward's ability to muffle it! She has to get the hell out of this hall or she will fully turn even with the ward on! Which means she cannot really escape. She can't get to the other set of stairs without passing through this hall, and the James is eating in the dining hall on the bottom of the other flight of stairs.

Her hands were stretching badly, the bones fusing together robbing it of its dexterity. Her poor thumbs getting pulled from the others as they weaken, the nails softening and regressing. Kate's horns spiral out of her skill like a screw through a wooden board, pulling the skin wider at the base, so the new length is smeared in a thin layer of blood too. The tips of the horns darken to charcoal grey while the rest remains sun-bleached bone. Kate got onto her hooves and staggered her way out of the hall, holding the wall for support, but her head still felt like it was overfilled with cotton so she had a hard time keeping focus. Her breasts looked wet while they grew- because the skin was pulled so taut that the pours smoothed out. By the time the skin was able to relax again- the gentle warmth and stress of the changes made her sweat, so they became actually damp with perspiration.

Kate's udder seemed to bloat up with considerably less effort than her breasts did- like her breasts themselves were trying to resist the growth. The udder at first looked like four separate bubbles of soft pudge connected only by the coloration of her skin, but once the hills swelled big enough they all connected at the base. Once united it started to swell out as one singular sphere of wobbly flesh! The nipples on it grew even larger now, swelling up fat like fingers! Once it was as large as a basketball, the divots between segments started to assert themselves. The cleft between segments is two walls of muscle that help divide them and keep their structure- the vertical wall is naturally stronger than the horizontal one. Pale veins started to project off its surface around the base of the udders. The nipples... no, the TEATS became large enough that they now flop around separately of the udder itself.

Kate's breasts swelled from Bs to Es before she exited the range of the mana conductor. The tension in her breasts released almost immediately, causing her to grunt and bow forward a bit as they flopped down. They were standing perfectly spherical and blushed brightly from the pressure, then when she stepped out of the range they relaxed and flopped into a tear-drop shape, low enough to just barely touch the top of her tummy, past her ribs. The areola were now stretched so far that they have a soft tapered edge. Her nipples became so wide without growing much in length that they sort of looked like little tree stumps. Either horn was at least over a foot long now and still sticking straight out. Those were not cow horns, cow horns don't spiral like that.

Kate was even more awkward on her hooves now that there was an udder resting gently on her inner thighs when she walks- the underside of the lower two segments softly brushing her pubic mound under them. She felt really timid now... James is going to know she attempted to escape because of these changes. This wave of changes is also entirely her own fault for being where she isn't supposed to be. Kate groaned when she went to grab the door knob and ended up struggling to use it- having to pinch it between both wrists to use it. Her fingers and thumbs were too far apart for her to hold anything. Her hands are 75% devolved into hooves, so her thumbs are entirely useless and not much more than a nub she can wiggle around. All four hoof segments are still lined up in a row like her fingers had been, but the middle two are already further forward than the others and a lot larger.

James just shook his head at her when he checked on her a few minutes later- and linked the chain back to the shackle around her neck. He only left her out of his sight for a few minutes and she managed to get herself into trouble. He is TRYING to help her, and she keeps unintentionally making the situation worse for herself.

He did his pulse-scan of her body and looked her over to compare his notes. Kate remained silent and looking at the floor off to the side, blushing. Her shirt was stretched across her bust- two sizes too small to fit breasts like that and her nipples refused to soften again. Only the bottom two segments of the udder actually fit in her pants, the top two fold over the waist, exposing the top teats fully. Thanks to her legs restructuring the legs of her pants also did not cover the last third of her legs. Her outfit was really not working very well anymore. Her top also had three dark wet spots where it has been drinking her sweat- under either arm, and over her cleavage.

He motioned to her. "Perhaps a change of wardrobe?"

"Oh, you want to play dress up with your new toy?"

James sighed. "I want you to be comfortable and those clothes aren't really cutting it right now." She blushed and covered the top two teats, cupping the upper udder in her hands. "I can transform some of my clothing into women's attire to better fit you. A shower may make you feel better as well, anyway."

Kate hummed in thought, looking at her malformed hands sadly. "I don't think I can bathe myself properly in my current state... no hands..."

"Well, I could help wash you. I have purchased you after all- it is my responsibility to make sure you are tended to."

Her face immediately turned red. "What?! I am not letting you get me naked or touch me, pervert!"

"But you can't do it yours-"

"No chance!"

"But you can't change into new clothes covered in sweat..."

"Hmph."

"Uuugh, whatever. The offer is there when you decide to stop acting like a stubborn mule."

After James left, his words started to sink in, and Kate rolled onto her back and gawked absentmindedly at the canopy over her bed in thought. Stubborn like a mule? Is the transformation affecting her MIND? Did she always act like this, or did the transformation make her act this way? If it changed her mentally, would she be able to notice, or would the change itself prevent her from noticing?? Well... that is worrying. Even if the transformation doesn't do anything to her thoughts- changing her biology entirely will alter her hormone balances, which in turn influence how her brain calls the shots.

Without meaning to, her hooves wandered down to her udder and she hummed in pleasure, glancing down at the soft, bouncy flesh. She doesn't have hands to knead it, but her udder still feels very good to touch, so she pushes her hooves and rolls them around on it. Catching the teats in the crook between hoof segments and wobbling it around. Kate squirmed up the bed further to prop herself up, but in doing so rolled the pillow back a bit revealing two toys under it! They had been there the whole time, she just never noticed. They looked almost identical, but one is a dildo and other is a vibrator.

"Ugh! Are these his..? No... he put these here for me, expecting me to play with myself so he can use magic to peep on me or... something."

Or was she just thinking that because the transformation is making her stubborn? She lay in bed for some time, pulling her shirt up and letting it twack tightly back into place- fanning her hot cleavage. What would be the point of ignoring these and refusing to use them? James isn't present to know whether she uses them or not- the only person affected by her not using them is herself. So far all her resistance attempts have done is make things harder for herself. All the changes to the udder have left her with a lot of unreleased sexual tension, and her hands are basically useless for that now. You can't finger yourself if you don't have fingers. She gave a frustrated sigh and shoved her pants down far enough that she could just wiggle her hips and legs to shimmy them the rest of the way off. She only flipped her shirt up over her enlarged breasts- her boobs held the shirt from falling back down over them. The shirt barely fits anyway, even if she forces it down over her breasts it isn't easy to make happen.

She took the vibrator and clicked it on, blushing and just staring at it for a moment before slowly lowering it. Her udders obstructed her view of her nethers, so she had to sort of pull them up a bit when laying down to be able to reach, but as soon as the vibrator accidentally brushed the smooth skin she shivered! She braced herself a moment and then lowered the vibrator to one of her teats and touched it. The flesh of her udder is so rubbery and soft that the vibrator sent jiggles through the entire thing! It both tickled and caused an electric pleasure! She dropped it into the cleft and squashed all four segments in toward it, her body curling toward the pleasure!

"Hah~ ah.... ahhhh, mmm-" Her udders started to fatten, more flesh slowly billowing up into her grip! "MmmmMMM-MOAR! Moooore. Mmmm-m-m-muh."

In the heat of the moment she thought her arousal was causing her endowments to swell bigger- not realizing how much time had passed since her last changes and that James had just released the ward again remotely. Kate quickly let her titties flop back into a relaxed position and flipped herself over. She stood the dildo up below her while on all fours and lowered herself onto it, stretching her pussy around the sizable rod, then placed the vibrator on the bed and dropped her udders onto it, then thrust her hips so her pussy juiced itself onto the dildo and her udders squashed harder against the soft, cool bedsheets and vibrator making them jostle constantly.

"Mmmmm-muh... huuh.. ooh something... s-ahmth-thin...g...e-e-e-e-ehh!" She startled herself with the sound she made- like a goat bleating.

Oh, that would explain the horns then. They are neither goat nor cow; they are both combined. Her hair was a pixie cut- deliberately wild, but it started to change consistency now. Her hair was blood red, but now faded to more of a diffused, deep brown... the identical color of her areola. It also became softer, its consistency changing to that of fur, not hair. The pleasure exploding through her loins worked as a beacon, so when the changes hit it immediately became the target, her body did not have to play roulette to decide this time. She felt a massive pressure in the bones of her hips, which for a moment caused her thrusts to become stuttered. Her pelvis gave off a loud crack that echoed off the walls around her and became much wider! When the bone re-fused at its new proportion it extended, shoving the skin up as two rather sharp looking projections emerged from either side of her hips. It looked like she gained the boxy hips of a cow- but the actual body of the pelvis remained unchanged, so she is still bipedal. It is almost like someone overlapped a human pair of hips and a cows angular V shaped pelvis on top of one another. Her anus was now in a depression between the two points of her hips and the flesh over her tail bone started to surge out, without her trying to stop it this time.

Her tail emerged as if to try and cover her anus in modesty. It grew in surges that looked sort of like someone pushing the skin outward in nudges from the inside out. It started as a bump, then a cone, then a flesh noodle, then long and longer till it eventually blossomed into a tassel of dark, diffused brown hair on the end, marking it as the tail of a cow! The tail flicked around wildly as the hair grew from the warm, tickling sensation of the rapid growth. Kate never had a tail before so her brain doesn't even know how to use it- so it moves entirely on reaction alone, she has no conscious control over it at all.

Kate started to push her upper body further up to angle herself more- her udders are still swelling, which is making it harder for her to thrust her hips down completely on the dildo- because her udder is holding her up off of it. As soon as she pushed herself up off the bed she flinched and groaned at the muffled popping sounds in her hands as they now devolved the rest of the way into hooves! Her outer two fingers folding back in the final extension, becoming the dew claws. What had been her thumb turned into a bubble of muscle and flesh as the bone regressed into nothing at all- and then it was just flesh, and then it too became no more. The vibrating tit flesh of her udders bloated fatter and rounder- each segment now the size and elongated shape of a watermelon! The teats as long as her former middle fingers and as thick as a thumb is at the base! Her human nipples started to elongate now too. They tingle from the movement and the pressure causing the expansion, but she doesn't have the hands to grab and yank on them.

The warmth seemed to collect into her bloated teats making her start to sweat again. Kate gave a startled yelp that sounded a lot like a goat bleating when drops of milk formed on the ends! Her entire body shook like a leaf in the wind from the pleasure eruption when several streams of milk jet from each teat! The flow of hot liquid from inside tickled the teats from the inside out, and released a pressure she wasn't even aware had been building till now! She orgasmed almost immediately as the flow of milk started! Her pussy squirt onto the bed behind her and her udder onto the bed in front of her, making a hell of a mess, but she could not hold either in! She collapsed and went to sleep in a pool of her own juices; an early night's sleep for her.

Kate woke up before the sun even came up thanks to passing out immediately after she masturbated. She plopped out of the bed and went to get her pants on but then groaned. She is covered in milk and pussy lube in varying states of drying- it isn't going to feel good to wedge her pants back on over that mess. But she has no hands... she cannot clean herself. Heck, unless she gets James to unlink the collar she can't even leave her room to get to the shower in the first place. The washroom in her room is just a toilet and sink, no shower/bath.

She called James , but had to just shout at her door. The chain isn't long enough for her to actually reach the door to open it. She called three times but then just gave up. It is really early in the morning, he probably is not awake yet. She sighed and wandered around her room aimlessly, not even realizing she was getting the chain tangled by doing so. Walking was a bit trickier now again. Her udders were big enough to eclipse her inner thighs when she is standing, so she has to make each step slow and deliberate because in order for her leg to move forward it needs to shove her udder out of the way, causing it to flop back and forth when she walks. The lower two segments of her udder have developed some off-color splotches, but not the top two. The splotches on the bottom two are still peach, but a sort of grey-peach mix. Her human nipples are stuck in permanent erection it seems- you can twack them like a door-stop and watch them spring back into place.

James entered her room with a yawn so wide his eyes were squinted too tight to actually see anything for a second. His hair was all frazzled and he had sleep-blinders pulled up onto his forehead that had anime girl eyes on them. "Wuh... w- *yawn* what is it?"

"I... uh... wet the bed."

She tried to cover her udders with her hooves but couldn't cover much. She went to step toward him and only then realized how tangled the chains had become, immediately getting yanked back by the collar and falling to the floor.

James yawned again, smiling. "I'd laugh but that would require more energy than I currently have."

He got Kate to elaborate a bit better on the situation, and told her it would be fine. He can just use magic to distill the fluids out of the material- cleaning it without needing to use soap or water, or even sitting it out to dry. Since they know exactly what material is contaminating it in the first place, he can just target it with magic and force-remove it.

She looked at herself embarrassed- glad her udder at least covers her privates. "C-can you... help me clean up? BUT- you have to promise not to... try anything. Don't... just... wash me. That is it."

"Obviously. Scout's honor."

"You were in the boy scouts?"

"God no. I am also not someone who is particularly honorable- I just thought it would sound more reassuring."

"...well it did up until you said that."

Kate had him only stand behind her when she got into the tub- if he gets the soap lathered she can still put it on and wash it off her front using her arms and hooves. She just can't hold the soap itself because; no hands. Unfortunately that stopped working when it came to her rump and the underside of her udder. Only her hooves can reach that far down, not her arms. James sighed in frustration as she once again sat in down in the tub and pouted, refusing to let him help. When the water started to cool off she sighed and reluctantly got onto all fours in the tub to lift her rump up for him to get at. She hoped he did not see, but is pretty sure she accidentally released a few jets of milk into the bath water when he was rubbing down the underside of her udders. James also unintentionally discovered all you really have to do to have her at your complete mercy is tug on her tail. Her tail is so narrow and sensitive, and its base so close to her tender bits that tugging on her tail causes her to freeze up and bow over.

She was going to tell him she can dry herself but he started patting her dry the moment she got out and Kate did not have time to say anything. Kate was too embarrassed to stay standing up in the nude so when he went to get her some clothes she crouched down into a gargoyle pose, on all fours with her knees up by her shoulders. He came back, placing clothes on a stool but spinning a brush in his hand and smiling at her first.

"A-ah, you don't have to do-"

"Oh nonsense, gotta take care of your hair."

He brushed both the hair on her head and on the tip of her tail. When he brushed her hair it became more obvious that its composition had changed, because it became very light and floofy afterwards, and took a few minutes to settle back down. It was also longer now- she had not noticed at first. Once it was brushed it became obvious it was longer than before- because her bangs now touched the bridge of her nose, completely eclipsing her lavender colored eyes.

When it came to clothing- he let her request whatever she wanted. He was going to transmute his clothing into an outfit fit for her. After a bit of back and forth it was decided she should go with a dress skirt- no way you are getting those udders to work in pants. For top they went with a hugely oversized long sleeve, made of thin flexible material. That way if she continued to expand she would have a considerably amount of wiggle room. It also was thin material so she was not going to overheat. James told her he would wait a bit before the next surge, so she could adjust to the outfit and moving around. Enjoy a brief period of almost normal before she changes more. He also wanted to go sleep some more, because he did not want to be awake that early, so he wasn't even going to be conscious again for a bit.

Kate wandered around, climbing the stairs up to her room twice just to practice using her hooves. She had to be really careful when stepping up, because her leg had to shove her udders even further out of the way to do that, squishing it between her leg and body. Kate's skirt billows out in the front a bit like one of those old-timey dresses, but hers billows out because of her udders, not a wire frame. At least her ears being so floppy and big made it easier to have a bath- didn't have to worry about getting water in her ear in spite of their size, because she has to make a conscious effort to be able to lift or move them at all. James was so eager to go back to sleep, he left her unchained too. She of course still wore the shackle around her neck but the chain isn't connected. He was hoping at this point she knew better than to try and escape, and she wasn't turning into any sort of dangerous animal. It was pretty obvious by now that she was turning into a hybrid of goat and cow.

She was leaned out her window listening to the birds chirping when James woke back up downstairs and activated a pulse the moment he went to get a coffee. Kate looked down puzzled at first at her nipples returning erect quickly, lifting the fabric on the front of her top before becoming almost itchy with internal pressure. She did not realize she was changing again till a moment later when the same pressure pulsed through her entire udder! The growth was only affecting her human nipples, not the breasts, but her whole udder was changing sizes still! Kate huffed and grunt in exertion from the force of the sudden internal pressure. It pulled the surface taut, tickling all the pleasure nerves at once. Her udder actually made some audible gurgling and sloshing sounds- the milk cisterns expanding to allow more fluid production, creating gaps around the existing fluid for sound to be produced in.

She spread her legs and took a step back, leaning herself even further forward to stay on the windowsill. She started panting, the feeling of bloating was felt all the way up, to her pussy! The back segments of her udder are bloating fatter faster than the front two, becoming disproportionate! Goats have a two segment udder, but cows have a four. So only the front are growing to the size of a full cow- the back two are growing to the size of both a cow, and a cow-sized goat overlapped!! Her human nipples grew longer and bent against her shirt causing her to wince at the feeling of the sensitive flesh dragging across the cloth. Her nipples became as long as pinky fingers! Unlike the teats below though- they retained a cylindrical shape to them, with blunt, slightly impacted fronts. Her breasts also did not increase in size again- only the nipples this time.

The cow teats were wider than the human nipples even after their massive expansion- and the cow teats are rounder, and chubbier looking. The teats on the lower segment however became absolutely colossal. The tips remained as big as the cow teats but they got fatter and longer the rest of their length, becoming so wide at the base that they look a cone shape to them. Under that a wide, shallow bubble of flesh seemed to bloat out, almost looking like a puffy areola, minus the coloration. It is actually the milk cistern behind the teats, expanding so large that they are visible on the surface! The body of the two lower udders swelled and lengthened, becoming larger and more oblong in shape at the same time. Even with her legs spread they shoved against her inner thighs. Kate squirmed and moaned in desperation of her anatomy fighting her, and finally managed to cause them to pop out from between her legs from lack of room! The bottom two segments popped out behind her, now resting gently against the back of her inner thighs. The front two stopped at a size that just barely fit between her legs, but for the most part her legs fit into the cleft between front and back segments.

Kate's eyes widened at the wet spots forming on her shirt already and quickly rolled it up onto her breasts and let her huge nipples water the plants on the sill. Even fully erect her nipples have a slight downward curve to them because they are so long and weigh so much when they are sodden with milk. Finger-thick veins throbbed at the base of her udder, spreading through the skin like tree roots. They became smaller and more numerous around the curvature of her swollen tits, and tapered off at the halfway point around the giant udders before they were too deep to be visible on the surface. All of these seemed to collect into a single vein the girth of a garden hose that ran almost straight up the middle of her midriff- the primary milk vein. The giant rear teats are so thick they cannot even flop, in spite of their tremendous size. They are the shape of ice cream cones but considerably larger than them now- now more like small traffic pylons. The cow-only front udders are the size of a medium beach ball, squashed to be oblong. The rear segments did not stop till either segment was roughly the size of one of those giant party beach balls- or a small-ish faire pumpkin. Their mass was greater than the entire rest of her body. If she had those on her chest instead of her hips, her spine would snap in half like a twig.

She groaned loudly. She was leaking... a lot. The liquid was escaping the giant teats like someone pouring a gallon of milk into a sock. She could not hold it in, nor could she even reach her teats properly, so she just remained perched half on the window till the flow ran itself out. If she tried to stand completely upright she would get her skirt wet. The pleasurable tingle of the milk flowing against her sensitive teats from the inside out made her squirm. She wanted to grab them and yank on them, but they are so huge at this point that she cannot reach. Even fully standing, the bottoms of her back two udders are firmly pressed into the floor- the teats pointing forward, bent against the floor. That means she cannot even attempt to walk without dragging herself on the floor- she is physically incapable of lifting the udders off the ground.

That also meant she did not have to worry about the weight that much- because the floor took half of it. She has to shuffle forward slowly- luckily her legs can move around the front two segments if she keeps them very wide, which means she is basically waddling. Kate only needed to get to the bed, sitting heavily onto it, then shimmied her way back to heave the giant thing up onto the bed with her. Resting the back on the mattress- the top of her udders almost brushed the canopy of the bed over her! In this position however she cannot put her legs down. She is physically unable to spread her legs wide enough to get around the two back segments, so resting on the bed like this meant that her legs were bend up around the curve- still wedged in the cleft between segments, resting their weight on the back two.

James came in in a bit and froze for a moment, doing a double-take at her, and then the puddle of milk that spread half across the entire floor in spite of the shag carpet trying to absorb it. "Well... shit."

She blushed a bit, just rolling her head to the side on the pillow. "Y-yea. A little big... can't... move. It was a struggle just to get back into bed. I don't think I can use the stairs."

"Uhhh yea, no. I can use my magic to expand the breadth of each step to make them more manageable for someone of your size, but... yea. Huh. Interesting the transformation went that way."

"What did you think it would do?"

"Well we don't know all the components in play yet, so it could have been anything, really. But I would have expected all four teats to be fat and wide, and all four to be slightly smaller than your front two. A goat is smaller than a cow after all- I figured the udder size would mitigate the overall mass. Instead the transformation seems to have taken things proportionally."

"But its proportions are smaller..."

"Not to the animal. It isn't comparing its udder size to you, it's comparing its udder size to the animal it is supposed to belong to, and then using those proportional measurements on your body and size. So basically it grew them to the size the udders should be, if the animal in question was the size of a human. So the goat did not influence the cow segments at all, letting them grow fully. A goat's udders in proportion to its body are actually larger than a cow's udders. But on top of that- rather than mix the traits it just overlapped them on top of one another. So you grew to cow size, and then gained the goat's size on top of that as a 'round 2' of changes. Your ears as well- more cow-like in shape but the length and floppiness is more like a goat. Although, there are also specific breed of cows that DO have ears like that. I don't think you are the breed that has them."

She raised a brow behind her shaggy curtain of hair. "You know what breed of cow I got?"

"By the color and length of your bangs... if I had to guess- highland cow. You also have a mat of rather shaggy fur on your upper back. Could be goat traits making it shaggy, but most cows have very fine fur- except highland cows. Couldn't be a yak or buffalo, or the fluffier kin of cows, because then your udder would not be nearly this size."

James motioned to the puddle on the floor and using his magic- the milk took on a dim blue glow and started to lift up from the carpet, dividing perfectly from the solid material and gathering into a floating sphere in the air to be collected.

Kate groaned. "What are we going to dooo? I can barely move, and I am so huge and heavy you couldn't move me, either!"

He smirked. "Well... the obvious solution is just... change more."

"Huh?"

"Your body doesn't work right because it's still not done yet. The closer you get to the body of the animals these parts actually belong to- the easier you can use those parts."

She sighed, looking up at the canopy a second before looking back at him through her shaggy bangs. "I don't wanna be an animal Jaaames..."

"It will be fine. Besides- you were already an animal."

"Huh?"

"What do you think humans are? Bacteria? Fungus? They are animals."

She lowered her brows. "Well I don't want to be a different animal."

"Fussy. We will make it work- even if I don't turn you back to normal you can still live perfectly fine, I will take care of whatever you cannot do yourself. That is the responsibility I took when I bought you. Besides- I am learning a lot from this transformation. I would say the chances of me figuring out a cure are much better now than my original assessment of a 13% chance."

She almost choked on her own tongue. "You thought I only had a 13% chance of getting out of this!? Wait, what are my odds now?!" He just glanced around the room. "WELL??"

"What? Oh, uh... well... it is just a number, it isn't important."

"Wait nooo, what are my o-oaaah n-n-no." She shuddered when she felt her body squirming on its own- he released another pulse to distract her while he collected the floating milk sphere.

Kate shoved her front hooves into the soft flesh of her udders- her initial fear was they grow even larger still, but that was not the case. The muscle bulked up in her legs, causing her legs to look very veiny for a moment, then the meat expanded making them very bulbous and tight, but then the bone inside also grew, returning them to looking sort of like they already did, just... bigger. Her hips grew in size, which also gave the udders more room to swing. Her legs grew in overall size, but her hooves did not grow as fast, making them look a bit small on her- the legs taking more after a cow while the hooves more goat. Then her spine felt the soft pressure and the vertebrae started to pop and crunch under her skin, expanding in size and length without changing the number of them. The muscles in her upper back expanded and the fur then grew in a bit thicker to make sure it still covered the area properly as her upper back bulged out! Her rib cage expanded, popping each set of ribs one at a time as their growth caused them to dislocate momentarily. Her arms then enlarged causing them to pop around. She loses control of the muscles when they grow like this. Her arms did not expand quite as large as her legs had however, and her ribs never expanded as much as her hips so she was definitely bottom-heavy.

When the changes hit her upper body they became a bit more drastic. The bone processions from her vertebrae expanded out in her upper back, forming a loose fan of bone- this gave structural support to the now bulbous muscle on her upper back. The fur on her back spread to her shoulders and then down her arms- but became very short on her arms and splotches appeared in it- it is not solid brown. The splotches are a very pale, ashen grey... the brown fur belonged to cow, the grey belong to goat. It wrapped around her neck and collar, spreading to and then over her breasts! The fur consuming her breasts is extremely fine, but the fur in the middle of her collar, between her breasts, and on the front of her neck is long and shaggy. Her areola and nipples of course were immune to the spread- fur did not touch those. Now even if you took her shirt off it would still look like she is wearing a shirt- made of fur.

"Huh....hrnnngh, tho- oooh... muh-mah thr-rrrroat..." Her voice became very deep suddenly and Kate gagged several times as the muscles in her throat twitched wildly.

Her mouth was open panting in confusion when her neck vertebrae started to expand, yanking her neck longer- so the normally very quiet muffled pops of bone were instead very loud; echoing out of her mouth. Her head went past the pillow and hit the wall, forcing her to tilt forward as she outgrew the bed. The veins in Kate's neck bulged giant, and then the muscle expanded so huge her neck was as wide as her head itself, and tugged on the bone as if to tell it to hurry up. Her neck tripled in length, and was as wide as her head at the top, but became progressively wider as it went down, to balance itself between her grown torso and the muscle bulk built on her upper back.

"M-m-mi mi mi. Do rae mi fa so la ti do. Well I can still talk, so I guess there is that."

"Your voice really dipped for a moment there, seems to have gone back to normal. Odd."

"I think it is my pitch. If I truy tu go l-l-louuuu, I mooOOO." She scrunched her face up and placed a hoof gently on her throat a second to recover herself. "If I go hi..hi-i-i-i-igh I sound l-i-i-ike go-a-a-a-at."

"Gout? Oh, goat, right. High pitch turns to bleating, low pitch turns to lowing."

"Yea. When I hit the threshold it feels like something flexing in my throat, pushing on my vocal chords or something to prevent me from pronouncing things correctly."

"Hmmm, THAT is quite interesting. It sounds almost as if you have the vocal chords of three different species- matching their octave causes the respective vocalizations to kick in, but your body can only use one at a time, so triggering one locks the other two out temporarily."

James did a quick scan and left her to her privacy for a time again. After he left she rolled over off the side of the bed onto all fours, then very slowly tried to get onto two legs. Even with her increased overall size- the bottom two udder segments still rest on the ground, just not fully. Her legs feel a hell of a lot stronger though- she is able to drag herself around for a little bit without completely exhausting herself. As embarrassing as it is; Kate also found she can move a lot easier if she gets down onto all fours. Her limbs do not quite match though, so that also makes her lopsided; her butt will always be up in the air. Her thighs are still round and the body of her pelvis is still humanoid, so while it looks like she has the bony hips of a cow; she still has the round bouncy butt cheeks of a human, and round meaty thighs.

Thanks to the muscle bulk on her back and the spread fur- Kate decided to once again lose her shirt. It seemed pointless now. Even her boobs had a thin coat of fur, so only her big nipples were exposed and flopping around under her. The fur tapered off on her forearms but that was likely just where the transformation burst ran out of juice- not where it is supposed to stop.

Kate wandered around the house, alternating between waddling around on two legs or walking on all fours. Her udders drag on the floor either way, so it didn't matter in that regard. With all four limbs on the ground she had an easier time dragging all that weight forward though. She just didn't like it because it was like giving into the animal aspect- allowing herself to act more like an animal. She wandered downstairs when she noticed that James had indeed extended the staircase- he used his magic to deform each step to be longer, so each step on the staircase is like a small platform. On two legs- she likely would have gotten down two or three steps before rolling the rest of the way down on her head. Especially since her hooves have almost zero traction against the hard wood of the steps. On all fours it was easy- if one leg slips it isn't as big of a deal; the other three still catch her. Heck; even if her legs gave out entirely her udder flesh will snag against the smooth wood and hold her for a half second. James smiled at her trotting on by, wandering aimlessly.

She lowered her head and wobbled back onto two legs. "W-what?"

James could barely tell she was looking at him, because her shaggy bangs hide her eyes. "Just good to see you adjusting. Even if I cure you- this is a unique situation you should fully experience before it is over."

"I don't enjoy being an animal you know."

He shrugged. "But you're stuck with it for now, so might as well take it in. Hm, want to see the flower garden?"

"You have a garden?!"

"Yea... sort of. It is on my property so I do technically own it."

"You don't actually tend to it?"

"No, not at all. The only plants I tend are the herbs I grow indoors for my experiments. The garden was just here from the previous owner, but it still blooms."

He brought her outside and she had to squint when the sunlight hit her. There was only a few small fluffy clouds here and there- and his mansion was not very well lit. She felt paranoid about being outside technically topless, but his mansion had a good plot of land around it- his nearest neighbor was far enough away that the next building over was not visible from his front doors. He lead her down a path of flat, circular stones sunken into the grass and to a huge hedge maze! The morning glory had started to entwine the hedges here too- it was a really hearty plant that did not like to take 'no' as an answer. He chuckled at her amusement, but said he was going to head back inside, he had research to do after all. And most of it was to her potential benefit at this point, so she should want him to finish it quickly too.

Kate felt like a child wandering in some fairytale storybook. The garden was made of hearty plants so they continued to live, but have been untended for so long that they are jumped together and overgrown. The hedge walls are taller than intended, and made her feel small even though at this point her entire body has grown to giant proportions for a human- she is at least three feet taller than James when she stands on her rear legs. Her eyes widened when she finally found her way to the flower garden hidden in the center, and was glad she doesn't have allergies. The flowers were huge and had completely consumed the entire center of the maze and were crawling up the walls too. There was four stone benches and a stone pathway but you could not see any of it- it was all buried in flowers. She managed to brush enough of them aside to wedge herself down onto a stone bench and watched the clouds float overhead- her vision framed with overgrown flowers. In this enclosed space, it actually felt really good to be outside with minimal clothing. She almost felt like ditching the skirt too. Her udders are so colossal that the dress skirt billows out in the front and back looking huge, draped off the curvature of her plump endowments.

James heard her call for help after two hours though, peeking his head out the front doors. "What? Are... you still in the maze?"

"Yea... I, uh... I am lost."

"The maze isn't even that big!"

"Just help me already!"

Well, James had honestly only ever walked the maze once so he was not eager to get lost in it too- so he went back inside, went up to the second floor and popped out the window over the maze. He directed her where to go to get out- because he can see the entire maze from the second floor window, as well as where she is as long as she doesn't walk on all fours.

Since she is unchained, James played a game of chess with her and let her hang around with him while he did research. Not saying anything so she did not distract him, but just hanging out in the same room for the company. She did ultimately give up on her skirt- the next time she needed to be milked. Her body is just too different to bother. Rather than let it get to the point of exploding out again; Kate told James when she was filling up and he prepared some vessels to contain the milk, and helped milk her. She turned away from him and put a hoof across her mouth to try and muffle her moans when he did it. The milk jetting out felt so good on the inside of her teats, but his grip on the outside also felt good at the same time- touching the teats from the inside and out. They feel good being yanked on, twisted, squished... if she wasn't so embarrassed she would have asked him to nibble on them too. James remained professional about it. He enjoyed the show but only stuck to milking her, no unnecessary touching. After running some tests on her milk he determined that she expresses hybridized milk too. The top two udders are cow & human, the bottom are human & goat. Though her breasts enlarged a bit and her nipples enlarged a lot- her human breasts remained dormant and do not lactate at all.

When she got to know James a bit better- he was a fun guy. He had a lot of crazy stories since he knows a lot of other Arcanists and thanks to their magic- when they make screw ups they REALLY screw up. Transformative Arcanists often turn themselves into far more heinous forms than Kate's on a regular basis trying to get inventive- it is just that they have the note work on how the form was made to reverse it when needed. Thanks to Kate- the notes on her own transformation are who knows where. His stories started to make Kate feel a bit guilty about what she had done before though. The Arcanists were just making business like anyone else- failing and improving their art till it is safe and ready for the public. It isn't really about them cutting off magical access to the commoners. It is the same with doctors- it is illegal to act as a doctor without a proper license, whether you know what you are doing or not. Having just any random shmuck practicing whatever degree of understanding of medicine they have on people is potentially dangerous, so you have to go through medical school. Like an Arcanist goes through an Etheric University. So Kate was not really empowering the people, she had done the equivalent of pilfer medical texts from a doctoring school and tossed them into the hands of people who can't properly use it anyway.

Kate did not put up any fuss when James released another pulse late in the afternoon, before going to prepare their dinner. This time it was her fur that spread, and a pressure built in the base of her horns causing her to scrunch up and lower her head as if to somehow brace for impact. When the fur spread over the rest of her arms it became long and shaggy halfway down her forearms, and her shins when it eventually spread to her rump and down her flanks. Most of her fur is diffused dark brown; the ashen grey acts as a thin bordering around the large brown patches. The splotches on her actual skin only affected the bottom two segments of her udders- the goat traits alone. When the fur got to her rump it became very fine, and then thinned enough you could see her skin past it when it approached her vulva. The fur left her vulva untouched as well as the strip leading down to the udder- because that was all connective flesh for the udder itself technically, and fur won't touch that. She moaned and squirmed in the easy chair she was plopped down in so much she almost fell out- her vulva itself changed shape. Her vaginal passage yawned open on its own for a moment as the muscle ribs that give it its shape expanded, then it relaxed back inward and then her outer vulva expanded a bit too- and stretched to a narrow leaf shape. It isn't really entirely the pussy of a bovidae nor human, but somewhere in between; because her clit grew with everything else and remained visible on the surface, which is true for neither goat nor cow.

Her fur was bushy on the bottom of her neck as well as a narrow stripe on the back of her neck almost looking like a pseudo-mane. It is due to the influence of her human genes on the animal traits rather than the other way around. Her hair remained on her head even longer than it originally was, but it turned into fur- so her body was trying to balance that. The stripe was an extension of this hair-fur, and it did not equalize with the rest of her pelt till it was halfway down her back! It followed her spine perfectly halfway down her entire torso. The feeling of her head being full returned from earlier but it was much more subtle this time. Her mind became... floaty. Like her ideas were drifting apart, making it hard to connect ideas into a full thought. She groaned and then let out a distressed bleat from a pain in her forehead. The skin around the base of her horns went ghostly white as the horns expanded at the base, stretching the skin so tight it forced the blood out of the way. Her horns did not lengthen at all this time though- instead the base expanded and then slid forward, and then again- creating increasingly wide layers to her horns, making them ribbed. By the time they stopped the base of her horns are so wide the flesh squashed around their base in the front is just beside her eyes, and her hairline is actually shoved back a bit behind the horns to make room.

When this whole transformation process started Kate felt she was getting mild deformities. Then it started to look like whole animal parts had been spliced onto her. Now Kate herself looked like the intruder. The only blatantly human thing left on her entire form is her face, so instead of a human with animal parts- she looks like an animal with a human face. Since her neck expanded even the shackle did not fit correctly- it can only slide a third of the way down her neck because her neck becomes too wide beyond that point. She found eating that night a bit tricky- not used to her neck. At first she tried to just bend it straight down but it isn't quite that flexible. A cow and a goat neck is a lot longer than a human neck... but they have the exact same number of vertebrae. The vertebrae are just larger. So while it is longer- it is exactly as flexible as a human neck would be, so if you can't bend your neck like that; neither can they. The neck can bend forward for her to get to the plate, but it cannot fold perfectly in half, its long so she needs to slide her chair back a bit to get her face to meet the bowl. James always put her meals in bowls now- because she has to eat with her mouth only and the first time she tried Kate accidentally chased her food off the side of the plate. If it's in a bowl it won't accidentally end up on the table or floor.

James escorted her to her room late that night to go to sleep. "See, not that bad of an experience, eh? I am confident in my ability to finish the reversal as well. I cannot know for sure without all of the runes in place- I can guess but I don't want to make the situation worse so- better safe than sorry."

He grabbed her shackle, making her flinch back in surprise. "What- ... oh."

He chuckled softly. "No point in releasing a pulse at this point- there is barely anything left, I will just remove the shackle entirely."

"B-but my face...ooh..."

"It will likely scramble your brain a bit too. It isn't made to influence your mind in any way, but it will still have a side effect on how you think because by changing your body so completely it also changes your hormone balances." She lowered her head, James just nodded and crossed his arms a moment. "I know- scary thought. As an intellectual myself; I certainly loathe the idea of anything fucking with my mind. But I am in charge of you right now, remember? If you don't trust yourself- just trust me, and I will see this through to the end. I get the last few runes- everything is restored, no need to worry."

He unlocked the giant shackle around her neck and her head bobbed back, surprising her! She had been wearing it so constantly that she did not even realize she was fighting its weight anymore, so when it actually came off her head and neck suddenly seemed as light as a feather! She felt the gentle warmth and pressure ripple through her body flying straight to her head as the only thing left it could change. She let out a distressed bleat and then moaned, though the moan came out more like a lowing. The bridge of her nose let out a loud hollow pop as the cartilage broke free to allow the bone framing to alter and grow.

Her front and bottom teeth started to drift apart a bit, creating a gap as her jaws grew longer. Her nose expanded greatly, equalizing with her jaws as they pushed forward- putting the bottom of her nose on equal level with her upper lip. The long fur on her head started to extend onto the borders of her face as a slightly shaggy fur coat, but then became quickly every short as it progressed further down her face. The left between lip and nose became deeper and her nostrils flared large, but then drew in to become long and narrow! The front of her nose took a triangular shape to it, connecting to the cleft down to her lips like a goat nose. But like a cow, fur did not touch the end of her face- creating a rounded square of candy pink flesh around her nose and mouth. Her jaws grew longer and larger, angling the bridge of her nose further and further upward as well as her forehead. James put his hand softly on her head as if to help direct it. Kate did not know what he was doing, but her forehead angling further up under his hand caused the bone to feel compressed, and with a sudden loud crack it forced her entire skull to change shape slightly to accommodate it- when it did, her thoughts blew completely apart! As soon as her skull changed shape her mind went blank, it felt like her head was full of cotton again. Rather than deliberately think of things and connect a train of thought- her ideas just float around randomly in her head and she just stumbled into them at random. Kate's muzzle became quite broad, like a bovine. Her iris however remained round- influenced by neither goat or cow.

James waited a moment, taking his hand off her before releasing a pulse of mana to scan her arcane signature. "I thought so."

"Muh? MmmMM-muh, uh, uhmm, w-what? What did yooouu thought?"

"You aren't a hybrid of two species- you are a hybrid of three."

"Huh? W-what is three? What, I mean... whuh...mmMmo... threed? What is the three one?"

James blinked in confusion trying to understand her degraded English. "Human, of course. Riccard had a human transformation spell. Which means there was never a reversal spell in the first place. Rather than take apart the spell to return to the starting point- he just layered a human transformation spell on to restore humanity. Your torso shape and proportions, your vocal chords, your fur still looking like hair, the fact you still have breasts, and even your lips are still human shaped- you have a lot of little human traits that never went away. The transformation is already complete but you can still walk on two legs. Which means I actually completely trumped Riccard, because with these final runes- I DO have a full reversal spell." So James learned Riccard's spell better than Riccard himself did.

Kate actually went to sleep quite easily that night. There was no more changes to worry about coming, no more shackle around her neck. She did not have to worry about anything at all really- even James would cover food and shelter, so she did not need to think about anything at all ever, if she wanted. She apparently snores rather loudly in this form- though that may be a side effect of only being able to lie down normally on her back. If she tries to sleep on her sides she will eviscerate the bed on her horns. If Kate attempts to sleep on her belly what she will actually be sleeping on is her udder- and having her rump elevated that high on her udder for any length of time causes the blood flow to get cut off from her lower body.

James had all his research arranged in the lower floor the next morning ready to go when she came down the steps for breakfast on her own, but she looked hesitant at the bottom of the stairs.

James motioned to his research. "Well, come on over. I can cure you easily now. What took several days to strip from you can be restored in mere moments."

"Uh...hmmMM-M-MOoo." She looked a bit bewildered a moment, not intending to moo- it just sort of came out. "Kate don't... me don't... I do not... sigh. James can... can me- can I s-stay this?"

For the first time in as long as he could remember- James was actually surprised. "W-what? You want to stay like that?! But why? For how long?"

"For... for future. Kate did- ugh- I did a lot of stupid thing. I try to escape you when all you do is help."

James shrugged. "Well- technically helping you was a side effect, but yes."

"It same thing that maked... make... MADE me steal from the Arcanos... arc... arcinist?"

"Arcanists. Yes- a lack of trust. You thought we were hoarding power and caused everyone a lot of grief by jumping the gun. Just like you assumed I had some wicked ulterior motive and tried to escape from me- only to your own detriment." James shrugged. "If I planned to screw you over, I wouldn't have bothered to hide it, I would just do it."

"I think too much. Too many think- can't not think... hurt myself with too much think. You help, you did good job keeping me..."

"Woooah, woah, wait, are you suggesting I keep you? Like... as a pet?!" She slowly nodded. "Nooo no no, see you are saying that because your mind has been influenced by the transformation. There is no way the old Kate would allow that to fly, not a chance. I am turning you back."

"But that is because old Kate think too much! Old Kate was not a happy Kate, she hurt herself and others with too much think. New Kate is happy..."

James groaned, furrowing his brow and pacing quickly in circles. "Yea but... but... ugh. You only want to be my pet because cows are docile as hell."

"Yes, I know. But without finger... thing... the people arms- HANDS! Without hands I need help, and you technically own me, so being your pet is good for me. And I happy without too much think. It doesn't matter why, I just want to be... happy, and calm for once." She blushed. "I could even... make you feel good with this body~"

"Haaaaaah- yea, unnecessary."

She tilted her head. "Really? That surprising. You... is it because I am too beast now?"

James shook his head in confusion. "What? No, it's because I am asexual."

"WHAT?!"

"...didn't I already tell you that up front? OOH, riiiight. You said you had already been fully introduced by the people who transferred custody to me- so I never gave you an introduction. Well... yea. That is why you never had to worry about me trying anything- I am asexual. No interest. I mean, don't get me wrong; love the view. But I look- I don't touch." Another problem she had created for herself by assuming things.

James sighed, giving in for now. It is not like the counter spell expires. Unless he stupidly misplaces the entire thing, he can just cast it on her whenever. So for now, at her own request- James left Kate alone to her form. Others would sometimes see them walking along the paths in the hills around his estate, and at Arcanist dinners, balls, and meetings he would sometimes show up with Kate at his side- loosely wrapped in a large cloak as the only article of clothing that could really cover her effectively.

Others jokingly referred to them as husband and wife, even though it was more like a loving master-pet relationship. Kate felt happier than she could remember being as a normal human. She had become too untrusting and paranoid- she made problems where there was none. But not anymore. Who would have guessed; the best thing that could have happened to her, was she got owned.
