Chapter 8; Home-cumming

And thus we find our heroes: the reluctant panthress, Shadina, the loyal raptoress Talon, the brave stallion Troy and the adventurous wolf, Caliente, marooned on an island far out to sea. The ship that was supposed to take them home has sailed, quite literally, and they are stuck. Anger, despair and worry plague the heroic foursome. Furious at the betrayal, Shadina wracked her brain for a solution.

"I could pack everyone into the party pack and shift into my serpentess form and swim us back to shore." she proposed. The others looked hopeful.

"It won't work. It's too far, and that form isn't really meant for saltwater. There's another way." came the reply of Night, the shadowy dragon goddess who supposedly lived in some of Shadina's garments. The panthress facepalmed, to the surprise of her companions, who couldn't hear the goddess.

"So, what do YOU think we should do?" Shadina snapped. Talon, Troy and Caliente waited nervously. Rarely were they even privy to even half of Shadina's conversations with her divine passenger.

"Don't get snappy with me. I've been a great guide so far, and I'm not about to steer you wrong now. Remember that path I told you not to take before? It's time to take it." Shadina shook her head and started back up the path towards the fork. The others followed. Upon reaching the fork, Shadina took the other path, and began following it. The entire surface of the island was free of monsters now, and their progress was unimpeded. The path climbed upward, and the group could see before them a second peak on the mountain, this one looking snowy and ice-encrusted, the exact opposite to its volcanic neighbor. It was hard to comprehend how two mountains such as these could exist on the island, but here they were. Finally, they reached the base of the mountain, where the path abruptly ended at a solid wall of ice.

"Never steered us wrong, huh?" Shadina asked sarcastically.

"Nope, and I haven't this time, either. Do you recall the invocation from Cerbera?" Night replied.

"We're testing out that already? Sure, why not, I guess. Let's see... I think it's 'Volcano Merge'." Hardly any sooner had she said it then hot power began to blaze through her body. It was nothing like the calming, soothing shift into the serpentess. This was slightly more like getting burned alive from the inside while having some overwhelming force press her body out in all directions at once. Indeed, what the others got to see was the panthress's body swell hugely, falling onto all fours. Her shoulders widened hugely to make room for two more feline heads. All three of those heads developed saber fangs and vivid red eyes. Muscles rippled all along her form, and a fat feline sheath appeared at her crotch forward of her pussy. Even with the change complete, though, Shadina, in her new three-fold state, could still feel the hot inner flames.

"Whoa..." Talon exclaimed as the companions examined the now cart-sized three-headed monster-cat. Troy could feel his erection coming back, while Caliente was squirming, looking at Shadina's new cock.

"Rrrr... that was... different... Now what?" the three Shadina heads asked in unison.

"Use your flame on the ice, of course." Night replied. The three cat heads took deep breaths, and they could feel fire building deep within them. Hotter and stronger it became, slowly but surely, building hotter and hotter, until finally, they all roared out, letting out massive jets of flame from each head which converged on the wall of ice. There was cracking, and blasts of steam, but when it was all over, a perfectly arched passageway into the mountain was revealed. Feeling a bit drained, Shadina dwindled back to her normal size and shape, and stood up again.

"So, how is spelunking in an ice cave going to get us back to the mainland. Is there some really long tunnel or something?" the panthress asked.

"Just trust me. It's dungeon crawling time again, so select your party members. Someone has to go into the pack."

"Why can't all of us fight? I do'nt get it. Four is better than three," Shadina protested.

"True, but those are the arbitrary rules. They aren't my rules, they are just 'the' rules. You can't proceed into the cave until someone goes into the pack, so decide who gets left out," Night answered. Shadina sighed and turned to her companions.

"Who wants to sit this one out?" she asked. Talon raised her hand.

"I've been fighting a lot lately. I'll take a break," she told them. With that decided, Talon was stuffed into the pack, and Troy and Caliente took their places with Shadina and proceeded into the cave. The interior of the cave was white and crystalline and beautiful, and it wasn't long before the three had to battle various icy, heavily furred or crystalline monsters. As the pathways branched and forked, they followed Night's instructions as to where to go. After a few battles, though, Shadina thought they could do things a little better. She called the group to a halt.

"I don't think we need a full-time healer for these little guys, but we'd take them out more quickly and efficiently with some more stopping power. So, Cali, how about you try on that collar that Cerbera gave you?" she proposed. Caliente shrugged and pulled out the spiked collar and put it on. Quickly, her body changed, becoming slightly taller and much more toned. To the dismay of both Troy and Shadina, the she-wolf's prodigious, heavy bust diminished a bit, becoming somewhat smaller and more firm as her color scheme shiftted to match her goddess, black on the backside and vivid red on her underbelly, with horns protruding from her forehead. The transformed Caliente gave a fangy grin as she punched a fist into a palm.

"Let's cook," she growled and, with that, the three continued. Shadina's hunch proved accurate as the various petty monsters of the dungeon fell before the more aggressive heroes. They began to come across treasure rooms, and raided the chests within. They aquire various useful potions, but also another crest, this one with a 'P' on it, and Shadina found a better version of her Arouse spell called 'Heat'. In other chambers, often guarded by slightly harder monsters, they found new weapons, like the Heat Staff for Shadina, the Red Lance for Troy, the Hot Caps for Talon, and the Reinforced Skillet for Caliente. Armed with these stronger weapons, they progressed faster than before, gaining plenty of experience and cash along the way, until finally they came to a large, impressive chamber.

The interior walls of the vaulted chamber were made of stone, instead of the icy crystal of the rest of the cave system, and they were decorated with the images of a familiar betentacled black dragoness. On the far side of the room was an obsidian alter, and before it stood a snow leopardess. She looked both surprised and excited to see them.

The snow leopardess wore a rather revealing set of robes, which barely concealed her crotch and hugged her full, firm bust, leaving her tummy, shoulders, arms and legs mostly bare. She carried a staff with an icy-blue crystal on the top, and she stood up straighter as she saw the group of them come in. Her gaze went quickly to Shadina, seeming to evaluate her haughtily.

"Welcome to the Temple of Night. Thank you for delivering the Shadow Bra and the Harpy's Gloves to me. I'll be taking them now," she proclaimed. The others paused, then bristled. They half-expected to go right into battle, but it didn't happen. Shadina narrowed her eyes at the snow leopardess.

"Are you working for the Overlord? You don't look like an otherworlder." It was the snow leopardess's turn to look confused.

"The who...? A what? I am Crystail, the Chosen of Night! I've been waiting here for... a while... to recieve the Goddess's blessing, and finally, it has arrived, now hand it over!" This brash proclamation got a chuckle out of Shadina, to Crystail's annoyance.

"That's impossible, snow kitty. I'm the Chosen of Night, and that's proven by the fact that I'm already wearing two of her artifacts, and have her jabbering on in my head all the time. I'd love to let you become the hero who has to save the world, but I enjoy the perks too much. If you have another artifact, though, I'd gladly take it off your hands," Shadina told her. Crystail huffed.

"All this means is that I have to prove myself to Night by defeating you in battle, and I'll warn you, my Ice magic protects me from your Seduction magic, so you don't stand a chance!" Shadina could only smirk at that.

"You and me? One on one? Sure. Why not. You've bitten off more than you can chew," she replied. Troy and Caliente were left behind as the two went into battle, facing off against one another.

"I'll begin with the Icy Reflection spell!" Crystail declared as a translucent reflective barrier briefly appeared before her. "Now, your spells will just bounce right back at you!" Shadina smirked in response.

"You shouldn't tell your opponents so much, but it doesn't matter in this case. I had no intention of casting any spells on you. You wanted the blessings of Night? You'll have them. Shadow Merge!" Power flowed into shadina from her sports bra and gloves, and she felt her body altering to suit Night's whims, making her taller, more dragon-like, and with a small forest of shadowy tentacles mostly growing from her back. Crystail's eyes widened as she beheld the goddess she so sought to serve, and forfeited her turn, giving the merged Shadina Night the opportunity to send a flurry of tentacles Crystail's way. They invaded her robes, her muzzle, her tail-hole and her pussy all at once, as wel as binding her limbs. They surged and wriggled, and pumped in and out of her sensitive holes. A pair latched onto her nipples and seemed to suckle. It didn't take long before Crystail's body was wracked with powerful orgasm, and the tentacles left her crumpled on the floor in a puddle of her own juices.

The battle came to an end as Crystail conceded. Shadina reverted back to her normal form, and her teammates were relieved. A shadowy aura covered the alter, and an object appeared there.

"I give up... You're the Chosen of Night... I'll do whatever you say..." Crystail told them.

"How about get out and see the world? Things have gotten pretty crazy out there. Be careful. There's a crazy Overlord from another world out there who's trying to get rid of all sex or something," Shadina told her. Crystail winced at the thought.

"You can't be serious?! Get rid of all sex?! That's unthinkable!" she protested. Shadina nodded sagely.

"That's why we need a hero and her loyal companions to save the world," she answered. Crystail shook her head sadly, but followed Shadina's suggestion and departed, leaving the heroes to collect the spoils of war. Proceeding to the alter, they found a very sheer-looking pair of shorts. At Night's bidding, Shadina shed her lower garments, to Troy's delight, and put on the shorts, which fit very, very snugly, but not uncomfortably. Shadina could feel a slight empowering tingle soon after they were fully on.

"So, what are these?" she thought to Night.

"Unimaginatively, they are called the Night Shorts, but they are the most potent of my garment artifacts. Not only will our transformation now be complete when next we merge, but the shorts have an additional power which I will explain after you put your companions into the Party Pack." Shadina helped Troy and Caliente into the Party Pack, and Night resumed. "Now, you can return to any city you've previously been to, including Desperation, Morningwood and Noctup."

"What about my hometown of Cumholm?" Shadina asked.

"Yes, there, too." Shadina did not need to be told any more. She concentrated on the shorts' power and a black portal appeared before her, and she confidently stepped through. .

***

It seemed like a typical dark, cloudy day in Cumholm when Shadina appeared in the town's square. It became quickly apparent, however, that not all was well. Looking around, the panthress could see her fellow townsfolk meandering about, as they were prone to do, all wearing obscuring black cloaks that hid all of their curvy, sexy features. No one was making out, or lewdly groping each other or any such thing. Shrugging it off, Shadina decided to head back to her house to relax.

Arriving at her cozy and out-of-the-way home, the panthress was dismayed to find a thick padlock on her door, barring entrance to her house. Fuming, she returned to the center of town and went into the Inn to get some answers. The interior of the inn looked nearly identical to how it was last time, from the matronly equine woman polishing the bar to the assortment of idling townsfolk, except this time, everyone, including the bartender, was wearing those black cloaks. The panthress approached her trusty raven informant, slipping back into the seat across from her at the table.

"Who's put a lock on my house? And don't tell me it's Hogereign," Shadina asked grumpily. The raven did her best to smirk.

"It's Hogereign, with some help from a new set of thugs. They aren't as big as his old minotaur thugs, and nowhere near as well-hung, but they are more organized and better equipped. More-over, it seems his lordship has widened his horizons. Not only is he taking some of the hottest ladies off the streets, but some of the sexiest guys, too. And the whole black-cloak thing seems to be his idea, too. I wonder if someone else is pulling the strings?"

"Dammit! I let him off too easy last time. This time, he's gone for good," the panthress swore. The raven girl looked like she was going to give her normal warnings about just how nasty Hogereign's new guards were, but the panthress was already up and moving.

The guards did not come for her this time. Instead, she made her own way to the lord's manor and belligerantly approached the pair of armored, armed guards waiting for her there. They were a rare species from what Shadina could see. Both of the armored figures were pale green frogs. She couldn't distinguish their gender very well, but by their proportions, she assumed they were males.

"I'm here to see Hogereign. You'd better let me in, or get out of my way," Shadina demanded. The guards drew swords on her, looking her over with cold, determined intent.

"You are a wanted criminal. Surrender, and we will not harm you," one of them answered. Shadina readied her staff in response.

"You want to do this the hard way? We'll do it the hard way!"

***

The interior of Hogereign's manor was much as Shadina remembered it, a veritable temple to obscene opulence. With Talon and Troy by her side, she made her way through the hallways, pausing to note the locked rooms from which she could hear faint calls for help, obviously from the prisoners here. Finally, she arrived at Hogereign's dining hall, where she expected to see the fat pig gorging on food as usual.

To her surprise, the dining hall had completely changed. The massive banquet table, loaded down with enough food to feed an army, was gone. The room seemed cavernous and open without it, and the piggish, cowering lord stood in the corner, fussing and fretting. Dominating the center of the room was a tall, white avian figure in white robes. Thinking about it, Shadina figured the bird might be a stork or the like. He gazed expectantly at the heroes as they burst into the room.

"Ah, you have arrived," he said calmly, as if expecting this. "We have been expecting you for a while. I'm afraid your pointless, perverse resistance ends here. How ironic that it should end where it began." Shadina blinked in surprise, somewhat shocked at the trap.

"Who are you, and what makes you think you can stop us?" she countered. The stork scoffed.

"I am the great Celebacy Mage Dorkis-" he began, but was cut off when the three before him began laughing heartily. "What's so funny?! That's incredibly rude!"

"Dorkis!" Shadina repeated, holding her sides.

"Dorkis the Stork!" Troy added, leaning on his spear for support as he laughed. The other two were leaning on one another, nearly brought to tears with laughter.

"I will show you vile harlots! My lord is on to your tricks! I have this amulet which protects me from all of your vile magics, and I've used my own skills to enchant this room to prevent all transformations!" Dorkis declared angrily. Catching her breath, Shadina focused a bit more. Thinking about it, she frowned. It did limit their options in a big fight. Most of the guards who'd stood in her way coming through the mansion had fallen easily to her spells, but if she couldn't cast them on him, and none of them could transform, then they'd have to resort to physical combat. Did he have an answer to that? She sobered and straightened up. "Ha! Not laughing now, are you? Maybe you've come to realize how powerless you are! Surrender, and you will be treated fairly in our dungeons!"

"I think we'll still give it a shot... Dorkis!" Shadina replied, causing a fresh wave of giggles from her and her friends. Dorkis glared at them.

"So be it!" he intoned, and the battle began in earnest. Talon made the first move, giving the tall, slim bird a solid kick. "What...? What are you doing? My lord said nothing about this!" Shadina followed, using her staff as a weapon to smack the avian mage. "This is intolerable! GUARDS!" As if responding to a summons, a pair of the frog guards appeared on the battlefield next to Dorkis. "Take them down!"

"Wait," Night said in Shadina's mind. "There is a better way to end this fight. Have Troy and Talon take on the guards. You cast your most potent seduction spells at Dor... the enemy mage."

"But he's got that amulet. It will stop all my spells," Shadina protested.

"Trust me! Just do it!" Shadina grumbled, but gave the orders to her loyal companions. Troy attacked one of the guards, scoring some respectable damage. Talon followed up, seriously wounding the guard. Dorkis pointed a feathery finger at Troy.

"Deal with that troublesome lech. I'll deal with the sharp-toed harpy," he ordered his guards. They each take a swing for Troy, doing some notable damage, especially between the two of them. Still uncertain about the plan, Shadina cast the Heat spell at Dorkis. As she watched, the dark energy of the spell was drawn into his amulet like water seeping down a drain. "Ha! Fool! What did I tell you? Have to learn the hard way, do you?" Dorkis concentrated, and unleashed a beam of white energy at Talon, striking her squarely. She seemed to stiffen.

"I'm not feeling so well... It's like... all my drive is going..." Talon said weakly. Troy grunted and lanced his target guard again. It was more than the guard could take, and he vanished from the field in a white flash. Despite her lethargic state, Talon managed to land a solid kick on the remaining guard. The guard responded by striking Troy again, further lowering his HP. Shadina cast the Heat spell on Dorkis again, and once again, it was drawn into the amulet, but this time, Shadina noticed something. The pearly-white of the amulet was darkening, turning more gray. Dorkis didn't seem to notice. He lashed out with his magic again at Talon, and she nearly collapsed. "So... weak..."

"Swap her out for Caliente on her turn," Night instructed Shadina. "Keep it up." The fight raged on with Troy hitting the guard, and Talon vanishing into the party pack to be replaced by Caliente, with her frying pan at the ready.

"Tricky whore. No matter. Soon, your over-endowed horse-man will fall, and the two of you will soon follow," Dorkis promised, and his guard struck Troy again, bringing his health down to dangerous levels.

"Have Caliente heal Troy," Night instructed. Shadina gave the order, and Caliente offered her large, motherly breasts to Troy. Drinking from them, he regained a nice bit of health, and used his restored vigor to attack the guard back, bringing his own health down to critical levels. Shadina got her turn, casting the Heat spell, turning the amulet a solid gray.

"You must be insane, trying the same futile strategy over and over again." Dorkis teased. He then cast his devastating spell at Caliente, starting to rob her of her strength. His guard struck Troy again, bringing his health down dangerously.

"Have Caliente give you a mana potion. You have to keep casting." Night instructed. Shadina got the mana potion from Caliente and drank it, restoring her magical endurance, and Troy struck the guard, removing him from the field for good. Shadina then cast the Heat spell at Dorkis yet again, causing his amulet to turn an ominous dark gray.

"Too little, too late!" Dorkis told Troy as he cast his spell at Caliente, rendering her powerless.

"Have Troy take a defensive stance," Night instructed. Shadina relayed the order, and Troy brought his spear up in a blocking position. Dorkis laughed at the futility of it. Shadina cast her spell again, and the amulet turned a solid, shiny black. Dorkis laughed and cast his spell at Troy. Already weakened by all the damage he'd taken, the stallion crumpled before the libido-draining spell.

"What are you going to do now, witch? You're all alone. Are you going to cast your spell at me again?"

"Yes," Shadina answered, and did just that. The amulet blazed with dark energy, and broke off Dorkis's neck, landing on the floor. He gawked at this in astonishment.

"What have you done? You've tainted it! Polluted it! That was a sacred gift from my lord!" Dorkis crossed the field and slapped Shadina across the face for a pitiful amount of damage. When he returned to his position, the reality of his situation dawned on him as Shadina smirked at him. She pointed her staff in his direction and cast her Orgasm spell. The bird held his crotch and gasped and fell to the floor, whimpering and wriggling. The battle came to an end.

Returning to reality with Dorkis and his guards crumpled on the floor, Shadina turned on Hogereign. Her expression was stormy as she brandished her staff in his direction. He cowered away, holding up his hands protectively.

"Do I need to beat you down as well?" she asked threateningly.

"No no! I'll cooperate! Anything you want! But... can I keep some of the pretty girls?"

"No!" Shadina snarled. "Get your minotaur thugs to dump this trash on the edge of town and don't let them back in. And give me the keys to your holding cells." Reluctantly, the enrobed pig handed over the keys and gave the angry panthress the assurances that he'd get rid of the servants of the Overlord. With the stork's will temporarily broken, Caliente and Troy began to recover from his spell, regaining their vigor and libido. The panthress stepped over to where the black amulet fell to the floor and picked it up.

"Was this worth all that trouble?" she thought to Night.

"That is the Amulet of Seduction. It significantly increases the potency of your seduction magic, but you can't wear it at the same time as your current pendant."

"But I like the Lioness Charm... It makes Talon and Caliente give me those bedroom eyes, and I can't wait to see what it does to Sierra," Shadina whined mentally.

"You don't have to lose it forever. You just can't wear both at once. Wear the Amulet while in dungeons and the Charm while in town, if you like." Night told her.

"Fine..." Shadina agreed and put the Amulet in her pack. She turned to her recovering comrades and spoke aloud. "Let's go free these captives and get back to my home." With that, they moved out.
