Time for another Morlunds rules story. It's short but I hope you enjoy it!
Hoofing it to Safety by Christian O'Kane Often the hardest part of casting a spell is collecting the needed ingredients. And sometimes the most dangerous. Morlunds Rules # 29. Ailne was worried. The young woman was moving down the road in a town she had never visited before. In a previous century this town had belonged to her country but three wars and a century of distrust and hatred had seen it change ownership several times. At the moment it was in the hands of the enemy. The young mage's job was simple and had nothing to do with two countries vying for the land and its resources. The Blue Star League needed several pounds of a rare spice that only grew in this town. And Ailne had foolishly volunteered to acquire it. The young mage had gotten the needed herbs along with a few other much needed items but the town was filled with soldiers and mages. It seems someone thought a spy was in town. Ailne had heard what they did to spies and doubted they would believe she was just in town to shop. Escaping would not be easy. An illusionary disguise would not last more than a few moments if she was confronted by a mage. So she needed something unusual that would not be spotted or expected the mages chasing her. Ailne was tall and her long, black hair was held loosely in a white scarf. She was wearing a fine cotton blouse as white as the scarf. The woman was wearing a cotton skirt that was voluminous and flowed all the way to ground. Her garb was no different than any worn by the women who lived here. Next to her was a small pen filled with a half dozen goats separated from her by a low fence of wood. A quick leap took her over the fence and among the goats. The young mage looked among the animals till she found what she wanted; A young female in good health and with no injuries or diseases. She examined the goat more carefully. The goat had a tan coloring all over and seemed to not mind the woman's attention. Ailne spoke a simple word of power and stroked the goats head gently. Instantly the goat stood perfectly still. The woman pulled up her large skirt revealing her long, shapely legs and the white panties she was wearing. She threw one leg over the goat so that she was now straddling it. Then the mage stepped forward till the nanny's head was pressed against her stomach. Ailne released the edge of her skirt and it dropped back down covering the goat as well as herself. From the front all that could be seen of the animal was below the edge of her skirt where you could see 2 feet and two hooves. Her stomach did stick out telling that she might be pregnant or just overweight. Behind Ailne her voluminous skirt stretched out enormously where it covered the animal. In spite of being stretched so far the skirt did not tear and all that showed of the animal was four hooves peeking out under the hem. The words of power came easily to her lips and she felt the surge of power roar through both here and the animal. Ailne let out a moan at the excitement. She could feel the fear and confusion in the animal as the two started to glow. The skin on her stomach and the skin of the animal heated up. She could feel the animal's body start to grow soft and pliable And then the two started to fused together. Animal and human flowing together. Soon the animals flesh started to slowly sink into the woman's. At first from a distance nothing seemed different and from the waist up nothing did change. But below the waist her skirt started to shift and move in odd ways. The skirt that had been so widely stretched out slowly started to flow back in. She lost her balance and grabbed hold of the fence to keep from falling over. Below the hem all six limbs, 2 with feet on them and 4 ending with hooves started to draw together. Four hooves flowed together and became two. Then the two feet started melting into the remaining pair of hooves. The skirt had continued its steady movement till it again fell straight down to the ground covering her legs completely from view. The woman shook her head slowly as a pair of sharp, goat horns started to poke through her hair that was lightening from black to blonde. After a moment Ailne regained her balance and let go. the worst of the physical changes were done. Now for her clothing. The cotton shirt she was wearing started to ripple and slowly pulled in on itself exposing more and more of the woman's skin. Finally all that was left was a strip that covered (most) of her breasts and wrapped around her back. It left the rest of her young and supple torso and shoulders exposed. The skirt was next. The cotton hem at the bottom slowly moved upward as the skirt shortened itself. It revealed that her human legs were gone. Ailne was standing on a pair of goat legs ending in the small, cloven hooves of the goat. The legs had the thin, tan fur of the nanny goat they had once been a part of. The hem line did not stop rising till it was above her knees revealing more of her goat like legs. Ailne looked herself over and liked what she saw. "Not baaaaad," the female bleated. She could not spend long examining her body's new shape as the spell would not last longer than a few hours. And when it ended she would have one confused and angry goat to deal with. She nimbly leapt over the fence and back onto the road. No sooner had she started to walk down the street then a large group of soldiers turned the corner and came walked straight at her. At the head of the group was a man wearing the red and gold colored armor of a war mage. The mage and soldiers looked at the person in front of them. All they saw was a blonde haired faun wearing the skimpy blouses and short skirts they preferred. Fauns were as frequent a visitor to the town as their male counterparts the satyr and they paid her only a moment's notice. Ailne the faun smiled at the group of men and quickly hustled down the street. Her hooves clattering on the pavement as she made her way to safety.
