This story was for PalePeryton, who won a raffle earlier this year.

Perry goes for a walk in a beautiful but secluded location. When he stepped off the trail he didn't know what he was stepping into


Perry was smiling as he walked along the trail through the wild lands. He'd been meaning to get out of the city for awhile now, but things kept popping up at work. Perry was either being forced to stay late, or be available to be called in for an emergency. After weeks of such nonsense, work had stabilized and the young man was free to spend his days off as he pleased. He packed up his car and headed out as soon as he got home from work that Friday night. After a night in a cute little bed and breakfast he set out on the trail.

The secluded bit of wild lands Perry found himself walking through were recommended in a few outdoors groups he was in. It was a little out of his way, but it was gorgeous and he hadn't seen a soul since parking his car near the trailhead. Several people had described the area as almost mystical, but that could have something to do with the old legends surrounding the area and strange disappearances from a century ago. It kept a fair bit of the locals off the trail, leaving it nearly abandoned except for tourists like Perry.

Perry was dressed for a day of hiking. The young man was wearing comfortable shorts and a loose fitting t-shirt over his slim pale skinned frame. He was in well broken-in hiking boots giving him the comfort and support he needed on the trail. A faded red cap, a companion of many hikes over the years, was covering his light blonde hair. A small pack on his back had some food and a first aid kit, and he brought plenty of water as usual.

He was smiling widely, enjoying the fresh air and the sounds of nature. The dappled sunlight coming through the canopy of trees overhead gave way to the bright blue sky as the wooded area gave way to a small forest meadow. Perry took a moment to adjust the brim of his hat as he looked around. It was a small clearing, but it made up for its small size with an abundance of brightly colored flowers. Perry could understand Just some people described the area as mystical, this looked like a scene out of a fantasy novel rather than real life.

Just look at those wildflowers. Prettier than any garden. Maybe I should collect a few to press in a book like Gran-gran used to do.

Perry left the trail behind and wandered into the meadow. He was just slipping his small pack off his shoulders when he stumbled over a rock. Perry cried out in surprise and dropped his pack to the ground, trying to not fall over. As he stumbled forward he trampled over a ring of mushrooms, smashing several into the ground before he regained his balance.

That was close. Perry let out a long sigh. If I had fallen badly and hurt myself I'd be stuck out here. Maybe I shouldn't have left my phone in the car.

Perry glanced around before spotting his small pack. Just as he bent over to retrieve it, something suddenly felt off. The young man looked up and he saw that it was suddenly getting darker. The sun was not simply passing behind a cloud, it was as if someone was turning a dimmer knob down on the sky. It grew unnaturally quiet, no wind through the trees, birds chirping, or bugs buzzing. This all was affecting Perry, creeping him out. He quickly tossed his pack over his shoulders and rushed back towards the trail.

The young man, however, didn't make it. A fence of thorny vines sprang out of the ground in front of him. Perry jumped back, and landed hard on his rear. Before he could stand up the fence of vines encircled him like a cage. Perry was too shocked to do more than just blink at the unbelievable sight.

“Defiler…" a voice seemed to whisper in his ear.

Perry snapped his head around, but he was alone in his cage.

“Filthy mortal…" a different voice whispered in his other ear.

“What's going on? Let me go…I didn't do anything!" He shouted out to the unseen voices.

“Then we can add Iiar to your list of crimes." a voice said clearly from behind him.

Perry scrambled up to his feet and turned around. Standing just on the other side of the thorny vines was someone unlike anyone he had ever met before. It was hard to assume a gender, they appeared rather androgynous. They were tall and almost impossibly thin. Their skin had a green hue to it, but appeared somehow vibrant, not sickly. Long silver hair flowed down past their waist and a pair of stag horns crowned their head. The creature would be beautiful, if not for the scowl and piercing glare of their violet eyes aimed at Perry.

“Wha-who are you? What did I do?" Please, I just want to go home!"

“You want to go home, after wrecking your way through our home?"

“But I-"

“Silence!" the creature snapped. Instantly Perry couldn't say a word, not out of fear, somehow no sound would come out of his mouth. He grabbed at her throat as he tried to make any sound at all. This reaction seemed to amuse his captor.

“Mortals always speak too much and never listen. Well, as the Archfae of this domain, I will make you listen." There was a chorus of laughs and more creatures seemed to step out of thin air surrounding the cage.

Each one looked so different, though they all shared a slim physique. Heights and colors varied greatly among the creatures. Some towered over the young man, while others were diminutively small. Skin and hair colors covered the entire rainbow. Some appeared more masculine or feminine than the Archfae, while others seemed to be just as androgynous.

“You entered our forest without so much as a simple offering, rude as usual for a mortal, but then you have the audacity and utter carelessness to trample through one of our circles." The Archfae pointed with a long finger to the ring of mushrooms.

Perry could now see a strange aura around the mushrooms, and it looked broken where he had crushed them accidentally. Unable to speak, he just shook his head.

“Even without your voice, you try and lie your way out of what we all know happened. You can't escape Fae justice so easily. Now," they snapped their fingers, “give me your name!"

The young man gasped and sputtered as he felt his voice return. “P-Perry, my name is Perry, and I didn't mean to step on the mushrooms! It was an accident! I tripped!"

The gathered fae all started to laugh and smirk at him. Perry noticed a rather evil grin on the face of the one apparently in charge.

“Your mother certainly failed in teaching you about the fae, didn't she?" The Archfae sounded incredibly smug.

“She, we, ah…" Perry realized explaining how no one he knew believed in the fae folk most likely wouldn't help him right now.

“Regardless, now that we own your name it is time to see justice is done to such a foolish mortal." There were cheers from the fae surrounding his thorny cage.

Perry narrowed his eyes slightly. “What do you mean you own my name?"

The Archfae smirked. “I asked you to give your name, and you did. It's mine now."

“That…" Perry blinked trying to understand the situation, “that makes no sense!"

“Only because of your limited mortal mind, which has no idea how powerful such things are. But since you doubt me let me ask you a simple question. What's your name?"

“I already told you it's…" Suddenly the young man couldn't think of his own name.

He racked his brain, trying to remember. All around him the fae continued to laugh and mock the distressed mortal. Growing desperate he reached for his wallet and dug out his ID, but his name had vanished from the piece of plastic, as if it had never been there.

“Even if I tell you your name is Perry, you won't be able to use it. In the old days we actually had to trick mortals into giving up their true names. What do mothers teach their children these days?"

“I said this was all just an accident, I didn't mean to mess up your mushrooms. Just give me back my name and I'll leave and never come back!" Perry pleaded.

The Archfae ignored the young man and instead turned towards his fellow fae. “You know what the name Perry reminds me of? A peryton." There were nods and murmurs of agreement. “The world could use a few more fantastical creatures after all these centuries, don't you all agree?"

The Archfae turned back to Perry and smiled with cruel glee as he pointed directly at the young man. He didn't say a word, but he didn't need to. At first Perry was afraid he was going to be hit with a bolt of lightning from the outstretched finger. Then he figured the fae was just fucking with him. But before long Perry felt something strange radiating out from his core and through his body.

Perry felt a warm feeling wash over his body, then a strange tingling sensation. But it wasn't just his skin that was tingling, he could feel his muscles twitching and heart racing. More than all that, he could feel his cock suddenly growing rock hard inside his shorts. Perry blushed at the unexpected arousal, but before long his entire body was flushed pink. The Archfae lowered his hand and smirked. It had been quite a while since he had transformed a mortal into something, and he was going to relax and enjoy the show.

Something felt very wrong with his feet. Looking down at his hiking boots, Perry could see something happening under the leather of the boots. He dropped down to the ground and frantically worked to unlace his boot and yank it off. He stared at his foot through the white sock, not believing what he was seeing before pulling it off. Perry's toes were shrinking back and merging into two large toes and the nails growing large and dark. As he watched the front of his foot shifted into a cloven hoof. The back of his foot lengthened and stretched back, changing form to accommodate the new foot. Perry was so transfixed he didn't notice his other cloven hoof tearing through the remaining boot and sock until it was too late.

He pulled off the remnants of the boots and slowly stood up on his new feet. Perry stumbled a bit, much to the amusement of the onlookers. Once he was fully up on his hooves, He noticed the change had added to height, though the Archfae was still able to look down at him. The muscles in his legs began to twitch and ripple, growing stronger and more defined.

His shorts started to split as his thighs bulked up. Perry looked down at his shorts. They were fully tented but more concerning was that the bulge continued to grow. He was never one to be self conscious, but he knew just how big he was down there. Or at least how big he used to be. Between his now much more powerful legs and the swelling member, the shorts couldn't take much more. Perry groaned in a sigh of relief as they tore along with his underwear releasing the pressure.

His relief quickly vanished when he took in the sight between his legs. His cock had grown, but more than that it didn't look human anymore. The once curly pubic hair on his balls had been replaced with a velvety white fur. A sheath had formed at the base of his shaft and was covered in the same fur. Springing out of the sheath was a long pink tapered shaft. The shape and length made it appear thin, but in reality the cervine cock was already sporting more girth than his original one.

Perry's equipment seemed to keep growing and was so distracting he didn't notice the fluffy creamy white deer tail growing out at the base of his spine. The balls were keeping pace with the shaft, growing moderately heavy and hanging a bit lower due to the weight. Perry's body took on a firm athletic build, though there was obviously more power in his legs. His light blonde body hair was soon being overrun with more of the creamy white fur. The fur spread from the base of his tail and ran up along his spine and from the front, more white fur grew up from his abdomen to cover his chest. The fur growing in under his t-shirt felt incredibly uncomfortable and Perry pulled off the now tight shirt, showing off his creamy fur pelt to the gathered fae.

Perry felt a pressure in the front of his face. Covering his mouth with his hands he could feel his nose and mouth pushing out into a proto-muzzle. It felt as though it should hurt, but Perry only perceived a slight pressure as his skull and jaw grew into their new shape. His tongue grew along with the muzzle, and it felt too large and clumsy at first. He tried to speak but it only came out as slurred sounds as his head continued to change shape into something much more cervine.

But Perry couldn't focus on his face for long. He could feel an aching need for release from his fuzzy balls to the tip of his pink shaft. At the same time, he wondered if this was some kind of trick from the Archfae. Perry made eye contact with them through the thorny cage.

That's what he, she, whatever wants, right? For me to jerk off right in front of them. I bet that's what makes this curse permanent. If I can just keep my hands to myself I should be fine…Right?

Perry turned his head back down and the tip of his new muzzle brushed against the sensitive tip of his bright pink cock. It shot a tingle all the way down to his new tail. Without even thinking his now much longer pink tongue slipped out of his muzzle and tasted his shaft briefly before he opened his mouth and swallowed as much of the elongated cock as he could.

As inexperienced as he was at giving head, Perry had no problem figuring out the best way to stimulate his own cock. He wrapped both his hands around the shaft and stroked the length while he sucked. Moaning around the shaft, Perry didn't even notice as a pair of antlers started to rapidly grow on the top of his head, or his ears becoming larger and more mobile.

“It looks like you are enjoying your new form, that's a bit unusual for a mortal." The Archfae still sounded pleased with themselves.

Perry didn't even hear the comment. His entire being was focused on giving himself head. He took advantage of his muzzle to fit more of the shaft inside his hot wet mouth. The buck's long tongue pressed against the shaft as he bobbed his antlered head up and down on his shaft. It felt so good, but at the same time Perry was hitting a plateau, unable to push himself over to climax. The Archfae coughed, which was enough to remind Perry just what he was doing and that he was not alone.

He pulled his cock out of his mouth and stood up straight. The last tatters of his clothing fell away, leaving him as something in between a man and a buck. He was standing tall on a pair of nimble cloven hooves. His entire body was coated in a creamy almost white fur that concealed his now more powerful build.. His blonde hair was still covering his head, along with the new addition of a modest rack of antlers. Perry noticed his field of vision was wider, allowing him to see more on either side without having to turn his head. His mobile ears flicked around at every slight sound.

Perry would have looked downright majestic, if it wasn't for the incredibly large cock bobbing in the air in front of him. He shook his head, trying to clear it from what he could only guess was some kind of fae enchantment.

“Am I stuck like this?" Perry asked, trying to ignore the growing feeling of blue balls.

“Oh, no, you are not stuck like that." The Archfae let out a rather melodic giggle. “I was just getting started." they pointed a long finger at Perry once again.

“Oh god…" Perry mumbled before they felt the magic start to work once more.

The now familiar tingle of fae magic washed over his body. Perry's heart started to race, which only added to the throbbing need in his cock. He started to grow taller, almost like invisible hands were stretching his body like taffy. Before long, Perry was looking down at the Archfae. The cage seemed to be growing higher along with him. Strangely, Perry's arms and legs had not grown at all, leaving him with a disproportionately large torso.

Then something new started to grow out about halfway down his stretched body. Small at first, a second pair of legs forced their way out. The legs kicked wildly as they quickly grew. They were covered in the same creamy white fur as the rest of his body and ended in cloven hooves. Just as Perry was starting to lose his balance, he felt a crack in his spine. His upper body was forced to bend back. There were several more cracks as Perry's spine realigned itself. He started to fall forward onto his new front legs.

Perry gasped after the impact and looked back over his new body. He was immediately reminded of a centaur, only he had the lower body of a deer rather than a horse. Perry felt steady on four legs and wasn't worried about falling over, though he was still too nervous to try taking a step. He could feel his lower body not only growing, but filling out. The body between his front and rear legs shifted into a proper lower torso. His lower body continued to grow, moving from something deer sized towards an elk. Perry's upper torso saw growth as well, keeping it in line with his lower body, including an increase to the rack of antlers on his head.

Perry thought that must be the end of his transformation, but suddenly he felt the fae energies took a darker turn. The creamy white color of his fur seemed to bleach away to a pale gray and the now long blonde hair on his head went bone white. Along his flanks Perry felt a surge of growth, like something wanted to burst out from the side of his body. At first he thought they were another pair of arms, but as they rapidly grew Perry realized they had to be wings. A leather like faded purple membrane stretched between the long finger-like bones becoming a massive pair of bat wings. They beat hard and although Perry stayed on the ground he could feel the force trying to lift his body up.

As he tried to figure out what exactly to do with his wings, one final change began. Even with Perry's new massive taur body, his cervine cock was still impressive. However, apparently that wasn't enough for the Archfae. Perry let out a loud moan as he felt his balls swell with size. From the base of Perry's shaft, the growth continued. More than just growth for a second time that day his cock changed shape. The long tapered shaft thickened, veins bulging out along the massive length. To Perry, it felt like dozens of small hands were squeezing and stroking his shaft. He pawed at the ground with his front hooves and continued to pant and moan. The head flattened and flared and leaked pre onto the ground. The color of the shaft shifted from a light pink into a shade of purple similar to his wings. Perry's cock undoubtedly equine, but far larger than one found on an actual horse. The head was pushing out past his front legs by this point.

It was all too much for Perry to handle. He yelled out, half moaning, half a bleating cry. Perry reared up on his hind legs with his bat-like wings fanning out behind him. His huge balls unloaded as rope after heavy rope of cum fired off. They splashed against the thorny vines of his cage and coated the ground all around with his hot musky seed. Somehow, The Archfae remained untouched, despite being directly in front of the winged beast.

Perry gasped for breath as he fell back down onto his front legs with a dull thud. He could feel the last bit of his load dribbling out of his still hard cock. He was still in shock, as much from his orgasm as from his transformation. The Archfae snapped his fingers and the cage encircling Perry disappeared back into the ground.

“That was quite a show. It has been ages since a mortal has brought me so much entertainment."

Perry just stared down at them, not trusting his mouth at this point. Nervously he took a few shaky steps. Perry was certain that if he was still on two legs he would have fallen down.

“Needless to say, you are no longer part of the mortal world after all of this, not that I think you will miss it all that much. However, this forest is in need of a new guardian, it has been for centuries. I believe a powerful and fearsome creature such as yourself is perfect for such a task."

“A guardian?" Perry barely recognized his own voice, it had grown deeper and more resonant with the rest of his body.

“Yes," the Archfae nodded, “someone to protect our territory from any mortals who carelessly wander off the path into our territory. Over the last few years more and more mortals are wandering through our home. Apparently they have forgotten about the mortals we punished in the past. We can tolerate those that stay on the path and respect our home, even if they are stingy with offerings. But if they stray off the path, well, you know what can happen, don't you?"

Perry straightened up and folded his wings neatly at his side. “You really want me to help you after you stole my name and changed me into this?"

“Firstly, you gave me your name, I didn't steal it. Secondly, I changed you into a fantastic and downright beautiful creature. Just look at you, who in their right mind would rather be a boring old human? And admit it, that was better than any pleasure you ever experienced as a mortal." The Archfae motioned to the puddles of cum on the ground. By the next sunrise you'd never want your old body back anyway.

Anger aside, Perry knew the Archfae was right. His new form was almost intoxicating, he didn't really want to be changed back. Honestly, what was really waiting for him back in the real world? A stressful job and loneliness, that was about it.

“And, of course, as our guardian you will receive the, ahem, adoration of my people."

Looking around at the other fae gathered around, Perry could see them all staring at him and chatting with each other. Quite a few had a rather lust crazed look in their eyes.

Perry took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Maybe this was an improvement to his life, but he wasn't going to give the Archfae the satisfaction of knowing that right away. “Not that I really have much choice, But I agree."

“Splendid!" The Archfae clapped his hands together. “Now let's find you a new name and introduce you to everyone."
