Felarya, a name that includes mysteries, dangers and exotic places; the name of a world full of creatures that were able to wipe out a whole city without any problems.
A world, filled with carnivore plants and animals that just waited for some travelers to catch and eat them and a world of mysteries that were beyond the human mind … and although it was the goal of many explorers, traders and other humans who came to Felarya because of many different reasons. Some of them wanted to become rich, some wanted to explore the abandoned ruins of lost civilizations and other just wanted to travel through the world because it was a central world which was connected to many other worlds.
For Malinda and her partner Cedric there was only one reason why they were actually in Felarya; they had to finish a transfer between two groups of mercenaries and they had to be the diplomatic persons. But now there was a second goal here on Felarya: Surviving.
Malinda, a young woman in the age of 23 years, had a athletic body and her long, brown hair was bounded to a ponytail. She just wore a short trouser and a shirt, enough for the hot climate here on Felarya and she was running for her life. Beside her, her friend Cedric was running too. He was the older one of both with his 27 years, he had also long hair but they were waving in the wind while he was fleeing from the creature behind them. Both of them knew that in the most time it wasn't possible to escape any predator here on Felarya, but this creature wasn't like the other.
It was a bizare version of a very big bug, similar to a Tonorion, spiked creatures that were absolutely deadly. But this creature was smaller than a Tonorion and not that fast; it was about 6 feet high, not very bigger than Malinda and it was definitely in a rage and hungry and even if it wasn't as fast as a Tonorion, it had a good duration and the young diplomat could feel how her feet began to hurt and her lungs felt like they would burn.
But both of them knew also that it would be suicide to stop; the monster was too strong and it claws were too sharp so that they wouldn't stand against it and the black chitin-armor looked like he wouldn't be easily to break through; so they had no other choice than to run for their life.
But Malinda also knew that her body was close to his limit and sooner or later the exhaustion would start to overrun her and then she would fall and this would mean a painful death. She closed her eyes, took out every reserve of energy and continued to run, until she heard a loud, male voice in front of her and she knew this voice didn't belong to Cedric.
"GET DOWN BOTH!"
And even if Malinda didn't know exactly why, she led herself fall down to the ground, Cedric too, just to see some short lightnings before the gunfire started and three salves of bullets were fired inside the creatures body. With a loud hissing it tried to turn back immediately but the fire didn't end and even more bullets began to break through the chitin-armor, a leg of the bug broke away and it felt down to the ground, just to get even more hits and in the end the monster didn't move anymore.
Malinda was blinking confused, her heartbeat was running and as she lifted her head away from the dirt of the ground, she was staring at some feet and legs, covered in a light armor, followed by some hands that were holding a machine-gun and the rest of the soldiers body. With the unknown person there were two other soldiers, one of them stretched down his hand to help her up while the other was helping Cedric.
Now Malinda could see the faces of their saver; the man in the center had no hair and a stern expression, his eyes were wandering around alerted but then he fixed Malinda and nodded into her direction. He was maybe in the middle of the thirties and the oldest of the three men because the other two looked ways younger than him. One of them had short blond hairs and deep blue eyes while the other had some rastas and a well tanned skin. On their armors were no signs so these weren't soldiers from a special group. Cedric came to her side and he harrumphed himself.
"Thank you very much for saving our lives. That was pretty close, just a few minutes later and we would be dead." he bowed a little into the direction of the older one who seemed to be the leader of them. Malinda was still nervous, maybe these were bandits or slave-traders who just saved them to rob them or enslave them.
But to her relief the older one smiled thin and nodded in Cedric's direction. "No problem man, you two are some lucky bastards. We just passed by and heard this creature hissing and screaming, normally they don't hunt on their own so we were pretty sure that this one had a reason to be out here alone and in the end we were right. By the way, name's James and these are my two companions Alex and Rend and … mh … oh I nearly forgot ..." he took a deep breath and shouted out loud "... SORCHA! You cane come out, it's safe!"
Malinda was raising an eyebrow until she heard something behind the tree man. Some bushes were moving and a young woman, not older than 17, was standing up, it seemed like she was hiding there.
She looked very pale and the fact that her hair was white didn't give her a more healthy look. She was thin and breakable and there was something young and naive inside her eyes. Sorcha was coming closer and smiled shy into their direction, but she remained silent.
"It's an honor to meet you. My name is Cedric and this is my partner Malinda. We both are diplomats and just wanted to reach one of the portals leading back to the central worlds when we ran into this monster. It was pretty weird because it attacked us at the road, I never saw any wild creatures that left their territory to attack human areas." Cedric continued he just examined Sorcha for a few moments before he got his attention back to James who nodded thoughtful.
"Yeah this is really strange. Well … if you want to reach the portals, we can escort you to this place. For a little fee, of course, we will guarantee your safety during the whole journey. We are on our way to an outpost of the Delurans, they will give us a place to sleep in exchange of some goods and tomorrow we will bring you home. If you don't want to, our ways will separate right here and you two are on your own. So?" James crossed his arms as good as it was possible inside this armor. It was also the first time Malinda recognized that the girl wasn't wearing any protection.
Cedric was looking beside to his partner and Malinda was thinking about the offering before she asked. "How much?" and as James just replied "50 ..." she nodded. "I think we have a deal … haven't we, Cedric?" and now she was looking expectant to Cedric who nodded. "Sure, as long as we will survive this trip ..."
"Fine. I hope you are ready to continue … we have to reach the outpost before it becomes night, because then the Nagas and Dridders come out, and they are too heavy for us. But be quiet … we don't need any more attention. The fact that we had to fire our weapons is bad enough, okay? So then let's go."
For Cedric and Malinda it was hard to follow the group. They were running a long distance before and now they had to walk again, even if the group went a little slowly with the time so that they could rest from time to time. During their way, Malinda was watching the girl they called Sorcha and she began to ask herself what she was doing here.
There was no reason that she was accompanying these soldiers and she didn't look like a traveler that would be just escorted like Cedric and Malinda were. The young girl was walking beside the group all the time, her eyes were wandering around and a strange kind of alertness was inside her expression so that Malinda believed that she was maybe a scout; but just moments later she was jumping around like a small child and ripped out some smaller plants to watch them … something was definitely strange about her but she was looking like a nice person in the end.
They weren't following a special path, there was no road or markings that could tell them where exactly they were, but James often looked down to his compass and to a map so that Malinda was pretty sure that he knew where to go. The sun was at her highest point when Rend stopped abruptly and raised one hand. Everybody stopped too and James looked to his companion.
"Something is moving forward ..." he whispered "the tracker is giving some signals" he whispered now and went down at his knees, other followed his example and so Cedric and Malinda did too.
"How many and what kind of creatures?"James whispered back.
"Just one person … human … but out here in the wilderness it is strange … the only persons out here are mercenaries, and they are never alone or ..."
"Raiders ..." Alex finished his sentence.
"Raiders? What are Raiders?" Cedric asked.
"Bandits, plunderer, murderer … they travel through Felarya just to kill everybody who is weaker than them so that they can loot the corpses. They don't want to let you survive … they enjoy to kill ..." James explained and began to look forward. "If it's just one of them … then there is only one possibility ..." he mumbled.
Cedric, who seemed to be a little annoyed shook his head. "Why are you so careful? It's just one person ..." and with these words he stood up "... what could a single person ..." and his words were interrupted by a loud bang, and just moments after Cedric broke into his knees and felt to the ground. Malinda watched in horror why he felt down; there was something between his eyes; a bullet.
"SNIPER! Kill this bastard!" Alex was shouting and the soldiers began to crawl into different directions.
Malinda didn't realize anything, she was just staring at the bleeding wound and Cedric's wide opened eyes. He was dead, nobody could survive a bullet that hit directly the head, especially not from a sniper. Tears began to flow down her cheek, her partner was dead … dead!
She shook her head with disbelief and for a moment she even didn't realize how a hand was pushing her gently beside. As Malinda was looking to the source she could see Sorcha kneeing above Cedric and watching him; she didn't care for what happened about her and even as some weapon-fire sounded around them, she was just staring at his face.
Malinda wanted to push the scary girl away but then Sorcha was stretching out a hand and touched the wound at Cedric's head.
"No time to sleep now … it's a bad place to fall asleep … you have to rise." she said and for a moment her eyes became empty, no sign of her iris, there was just the white in it and she fist one hand and raised it.
From one moment to the other the wound began to close and Cedric opened his eyes. He coughed loud and his breath was running but he was definitely alive. Malinda couldn't believe what she was seeing at the moment and she stretched out a hand to touch Cedric's cheek, just to feel that he was really alive. He was staring at Malinda first then to Sorcha who smiled down.
"Awake you little sleepy head?" she asked in a childish tone and smiled before she was looking around and began to crawl away from both, in direction of the fight who was in his full action.
Cedric was staring perplex at Malinda. "What … happened?" he asked but his partner was just falling around his neck and hugged him. In the meantime the sounds of weapon-fire became silent and the three soldiers and Sorcha came back.
"Alright he is dead … how do you feel?" he asked while he was looking down at Cedric who just stared up perplex. "Okay you seem to be alright, no time for questions, stand up, both of you, we have to go before his companions will join the party ..." and so they had to continue their journey, even if there were too many questions flying around in Malinda's mind.
They reached the Deluran outpost by night. The stars were shining down to the small bunker and when they came closer, two armed Deluran soldiers came closer. One of them liftes his head and shook his red hair free. "There you are, thought something had happened ...who are those two guys?"
"Two guests we are escorting, we brought you the goods, should be enough to give both of them a place to sleep too, huh?" James smiled and laughed rough.
"Sure … so welcome James, Alex, Rend, Sorcha … you know where you can go."
The soldiers began to walk inside the complex, Malinda and Cedric followed and so did Sorcha too but nothing without greeting the young man with a friendly "Hi Flynn ..." before she vanished inside the bunker.
Inside there were two rooms where they could sleep. It wasn't very comfortable, just a mat on the ground, but it was safe and warm. Sorcha went do bed very fast, she seemed even more exhausted since the fight with the sniper. Cedric was also very sleepy and went into his room after a few hours. Later the three soldiers were sitting outside, Malinda beside them.
"Who is she? I mean … Sorcha. She … she resurrected Cedric … he was dead, I mean ..."
"I know, okay? I know her special powers and I can't tell you "who" she is, I don't think that even she can do this." James said and raised his shoulders.
"Why is she coming with you? Is she always around you?" Malinda wanted to know and was looking to James.
"No, no. Just from time to time. Mostly when we are exploring the old ruins. She says always she wants to come with us because she is looking for some pieces of her past. Seems like she has no memories about her sooner life or whatever … she is strange but she's a good girl, a very hearty person."
"She … seems to be a little childish from time to time, is this normal?"
"Normal? Nothing at her is normal … you don't know every special trait of her … resurrecting people is just one of this. She always says that she has a "bad power" inside her body and she tries to reverse this to make a good power out of it. And yeah, she IS acting like a child … sometimes she is like a young woman, stern and adult … and then she is suddenly watching butterflies and birds and laughs about them." Rand explained and the other two smiled thin.
Malinda was blinking and her face turned up to the sky. "Sounds like an real angel … doesn't she has anybody? No relatives?"
"She has a aunt … she always tells us about her "Aunty Vivian" who is living close to a waterfall … I think she means this big one, but we were never there. I also don't know any human who is that crazy living in a territory full of predators but this Vivian has to be a smart woman. Sorcha never tells us anything about her she says "that would be her secret", whatever. We are happy if she decides to come with us, we like her very much."
Malinda just nodded to his words and still stared up to the sky; she was pretty sure today she met a real angle, an angle in human person.
The next day they were brought to the gates without any further problems. Cedric felt still a little weak, but compared with the fact that he should be dead now, he felt very well. The soldiers got their many and Malinda and Cedric said goodbye to everyone, but especially to Sorcha who was just smiling and wishing them a funny journey.
Later Sorcha also left the soldiers, for this week she had enough trouble and excitement. As always she refused to take any money from them, hugged everybody and then made her way through the bushes.
The most time she was walking and jumping like a little child between the big trees, no sign of any dangers or predators because she knew the path she had to go. The last meters she became more slowly until she reached her goal; the gigantic waterfalls of Chordoni, even for a predator it was huge but for a small person like Sorcha was, it was just colossal but she always liked the idea that so many water was falling down from somewhere.
Her path led her to a special place at the ground of the waterfalls, where all the water was collected and there Sorcha found what she was looking for: A big naga was lying half in the water, the sunshine were reflected from her scales and as Sorcha stepped closer, the naga opened one eye.
"Oh, Sorcha, hello." she said with a warm smile "returned from your trip?"
Sorcha, who was already wet from all the water that was splashing from the riffs at the ground, smiled up and nodded. "Yeah aunty Vivian … but I had no luck, still nothing that let me dream better than usually ..." she said and sat down in front of the gigantic naga. She didn't fear Vivian, even if she should, because most of the humans that visited here, voluntary or not, ended inside her stomach. But Sorcha didn't, this place was like a second home for her since she arrived her two years ago.
At this time she was new at Felarya and a small child, maybe it was mercy, maybe Sorcha awaken some mother-instincts, even Vivian couldn't tell why, but she spared the kid's life and this wasn't a mistake.
Vivian could feel very soon that something was different with Sorcha and she could also feel the dark power pulsing inside her body … and she was also able to help Sorcha to use this dark power, but in another way. Without Vivian's help, the young woman would never be able to use it and over the years the naga became something like a mother for her.
"Maybe next time … you just don't have to give up. One day you will find the piece of the puzzle for you dreams." the naga replied and stroke Sorcha's head with one finger. The human always felt good and secure when she was close to Vivian.
But from time to time she had to leave this place to search for her "key" like Vivian was calling it. The naga never told Sorcha directly that she was originally looking for her own memories, because Sorcha didn't know anything about her post, her parents or how her childhood was.
She only knew some keywords and pictures … and these were connected with Felarya and so she was on her search everytime she could. Vivian was also happy that Sorcha was away from time to time, she told Sorcha that she got some "guests" that she had to take care of, whatever this meant, but she wasn't allowed to accompany her aunty … which was very boring but she didn't want to upset her.
"Yeah … maybe … I'll go into one of the old ruins to the south soon ..." she mumbled, she suddenly felt so sleepy and heavy and without warning she felt to the ground and asleep. Vivian was there to catch her, lifted her up carefully and placed her gently at a special place where Sorcha was sleeping always. The naga was watching her with a sad smile.
She felt sorry for Sorcha, the girl didn't know anything about her past and she wasn't definitely a normal human … not even mages were able to do what she was able to. And so there were also some other interesting aspects that led her Sorcha stay here; on the one hand she could take care of her and make sure that nobody would use the naïve girl for the wrong purposes or for selfish acts … on the other hand she could learn more about what was working inside Sorcha.
In the end she was taking care of her and she happy that the small human was here from time to time … it was a strange but good feeling. She watched her a while before she heard some voices from the waterfalls … it seemed like some food just arrived.
In the meantime Sorcha was dreaming. There were the same strange dreams like every time. Pictures blinking around, she saw a cell, some people opening a door and coming into her direction.
She suddenly felt so cold, these people came closer, watched her, spoke to her, she was just blinking and didn't say anything.
Then she saw a big hall, destroyed and nothing more than a ruin, suddenly the scene switched to a young man that was sitting beside her, but he was dying and she knew, she wasn't. Then a switching back to the persons, they wanted to touch her … and she creamed for her mother. But the nightmare didn't end, he never ends.
A world, filled with carnivore plants and animals that just waited for some travelers to catch and eat them and a world of mysteries that were beyond the human mind … and although it was the goal of many explorers, traders and other humans who came to Felarya because of many different reasons. Some of them wanted to become rich, some wanted to explore the abandoned ruins of lost civilizations and other just wanted to travel through the world because it was a central world which was connected to many other worlds.

The most time she was walking and jumping like a little child between the big trees, no sign of any dangers or predators because she knew the path she had to go. The last meters she became more slowly until she reached her goal; the gigantic waterfalls of Chordoni, even for a predator it was huge but for a small person like Sorcha was, it was just colossal but she always liked the idea that so many water was falling down from somewhere.
Her path led her to a special place at the ground of the waterfalls, where all the water was collected and there Sorcha found what she was looking for: A big naga was lying half in the water, the sunshine were reflected from her scales and as Sorcha stepped closer, the naga opened one eye.
"Oh, Sorcha, hello." she said with a warm smile "returned from your trip?"
Sorcha, who was already wet from all the water that was splashing from the riffs at the ground, smiled up and nodded. "Yeah aunty Vivian … but I had no luck, still nothing that let me dream better than usually ..." she said and sat down in front of the gigantic naga. She didn't fear Vivian, even if she should, because most of the humans that visited here, voluntary or not, ended inside her stomach. But Sorcha didn't, this place was like a second home for her since she arrived her two years ago.
At this time she was new at Felarya and a small child, maybe it was mercy, maybe Sorcha awaken some mother-instincts, even Vivian couldn't tell why, but she spared the kid's life and this wasn't a mistake.
Vivian could feel very soon that something was different with Sorcha and she could also feel the dark power pulsing inside her body … and she was also able to help Sorcha to use this dark power, but in another way. Without Vivian's help, the young woman would never be able to use it and over the years the naga became something like a mother for her.
"Maybe next time … you just don't have to give up. One day you will find the piece of the puzzle for you dreams." the naga replied and stroke Sorcha's head with one finger. The human always felt good and secure when she was close to Vivian.
But from time to time she had to leave this place to search for her "key" like Vivian was calling it. The naga never told Sorcha directly that she was originally looking for her own memories, because Sorcha didn't know anything about her post, her parents or how her childhood was.
She only knew some keywords and pictures … and these were connected with Felarya and so she was on her search everytime she could. Vivian was also happy that Sorcha was away from time to time, she told Sorcha that she got some "guests" that she had to take care of, whatever this meant, but she wasn't allowed to accompany her aunty … which was very boring but she didn't want to upset her.
"Yeah … maybe … I'll go into one of the old ruins to the south soon ..." she mumbled, she suddenly felt so sleepy and heavy and without warning she felt to the ground and asleep. Vivian was there to catch her, lifted her up carefully and placed her gently at a special place where Sorcha was sleeping always. The naga was watching her with a sad smile.
She felt sorry for Sorcha, the girl didn't know anything about her past and she wasn't definitely a normal human … not even mages were able to do what she was able to. And so there were also some other interesting aspects that led her Sorcha stay here; on the one hand she could take care of her and make sure that nobody would use the naïve girl for the wrong purposes or for selfish acts … on the other hand she could learn more about what was working inside Sorcha.
In the end she was taking care of her and she happy that the small human was here from time to time … it was a strange but good feeling. She watched her a while before she heard some voices from the waterfalls … it seemed like some food just arrived.
In the meantime Sorcha was dreaming. There were the same strange dreams like every time. Pictures blinking around, she saw a cell, some people opening a door and coming into her direction.
She suddenly felt so cold, these people came closer, watched her, spoke to her, she was just blinking and didn't say anything.
Then she saw a big hall, destroyed and nothing more than a ruin, suddenly the scene switched to a young man that was sitting beside her, but he was dying and she knew, she wasn't. Then a switching back to the persons, they wanted to touch her … and she creamed for her mother. But the nightmare didn't end, he never ends.

Atop the Beanstalk (Giantess)
Jill finally reached the top of the beanstalk. After climbing what felt like 40,000 feet, she collapsed to the floor out of exhaustion. The floor was cold, like concrete, but Jill was still too dizzy to take in her surroundings just yet. After a few minutes, she sat up and looked around. She found herself in a room resembling a very large garage. Not too far from her was a massive, white behemoth of a Humvee. The colossal high-mobility, multipurpose wheeled vehicle made Jill appear as if she were only an inch tall in comparison. “What in the-.” Jill’s exhaustion began to clear, and she stood in awe of her surroundings. The garage was mostly empty aside from the Humvee; one side was the closed garage door, and on the other were two concrete steps that led to a door large enough for a mountain to fit through. While the prospect of even more climbing made her uneasy, Jill was afraid of the unknown reality that existed on the other side of the garage door, so she

Paws Part 3: An Animal/Human Swap Story
Brandi made up breakfast for Lily who waited patiently sitting on the ground. She drooled as she smelled it. Brandi mixed up wet and dry food in Lily's bowl. She attacked as she put it down. Lily scarfed down the food. She relished every singbite, it tasted so good to her. Brandi refilled her water bowl and put that down too. She crossed her ankles as she watched her former Master chowing down, devouring dog food, licking the bowl clean. She smiled listening to her slurping the water. Lily stretched, she was tired and she went to her dog bed to take a nap. Brandi stayed awake. First, she got on the phone and went to Pet Supplies. She ordered personalized tags for Lily. Next, she went to her bedroom. "I want to try on all those different clothes" Brandi was curious. She loved how clothes felt on her body. After a few common items, she pulled out the fancy black dress. She also put on black tights and black high heels "Oh my God" she said. She went to the mirror and did her hair and makeup flawlessly. Brandi felt a stirring. An itch she had to scratch. Laying on her back, Brandi maneuvered her right hand up, slipping two fingers inside. Her left hand squeezed and massaged her breasts. The heel of her hand rubbed her clit furiously. She bit her lip to stop from screaming out. She tensed up before she came. Releasing in an orgasm that absolutely, fundamentally changed her to the core. It was the most pleasurable experience after so many amazing things. This topped them all. "Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod" she repeated as she moved her legs, stretching out the muscles randomly. She couldn't wipe the smile from her face. "Best. Day. Ever!" She put on leggings and a top. Lily woke up as she returned. Lily could smell what she had done "Good for her" she thought. "No masturbation as a dog. You go girl!" Lily got up and walked beside her Master. Walking was natural. Scratching an itch by using her hind leg and back paws. She flopped over on her back and put her paws up. "Who wants belly rubs?!" Brandi called. Lily squirmed in anticipation "I do!" She thought as she wiggled her hips and shoulders. The carpet felt good on her back but Brandi's fingers scratching and rubbing her felt so much better. Lying there on her back, her long tongue hanging out the left side of her muzzle, her left hind leg twitching, Lily consciously thought "Let all the human thoughts and worries fade…dog instinct…allow those memories and thoughts and reactions come forward" Lily reached into her mind, compartmentalizing all her priorities. Brandi checked her phone and her jaw dropped seeing the updates that started popping up "Oh my gosh!" 'Instincts and Mentality' Brandi clicked into it nervously. "Oh shit" she said. Her left hand continued petting her dog as her right worked the phone. Subject 1…the slider had ticked up 86% canine. "That's 20% higher than she had set it at!" Brandi realized. 'Concept of Self' had also shot up like a high fever. Brandi explored further. All of Lily's Intelligence numbers had plummeted 'Spatial Awareness, Speech and Vocabulary, Numerical Ability, all extremely low. Brandi looked at the timer, 6 hours to go. "Lily" Brandi said and Lily turned her head to her. She made the hand gesture for up and Lily obeyed. "Lily, do you understand me?" "So Bark once for yes, twice for no" "Are you enjoying yourself? Do you like being a dog?" "Good…I love to hear that!" Brandi nuzzled up to Lily's face. She smelled her doggie breath and got a quick side lick. "Oh thank you!" Brandi laughed "Do you want to go for a walk?" Lily got excited Her paws danced and she started to bounce. Brandi got shoes on and Lily's leash. Lily was in heaven. So many smells, the feel of the sidewalk under her paws. The clicking on her claws as she walked. The locomotion of her legs working in conjunction with one another. Holding her head up high, looking regal, right at her owner's hip. She looked over at Brandi's long legs. They walked in stride, the leash slack in Master's hand because she was such a good dog. Brandi walked along equally happy with their current relationship. She led her dog to the dog park. Lily's tail picked up the pace as they got closer and she realized where they were headed. Once inside, Brandi closed the gate and unhooked Lily's leash. Lily tore off in absolute bliss. She ran and played. She met new dogs and found others she had met before by scent. She found sticks. There were toys, including a ridiculously big and heavy ball. Other dogs couldn't move it but she could. Brandi sat on a bench. She watched her former Master play. Reduced to a dog. She was happy. She also checked the app obsessed with the numbers. The app was adding sub menus. Brandi went into Physical Traits and found a new tab for 'Internal Organs and Systems' It showed heart rates, lung capacity, functionality and levels of adrenal, pituitary and thyroid. Estrogen levels were another sub menu. It showed cycles. How soon Brandi could expect a period and when Lily was due to go into heat. Today, Estrus cycle resided under Subject 1. She also wrote a document. A note to Lily to read when she got this phone back. Worded very carefully and thoughtfully. It contained her thoughts and observations, but also her feelings and desires. Brandi looked up and saw Lily doing her business. She sighed and grabbed the bag she had brought along to clean up after her pet like a responsible person would. They walked home slower, Lily was tired, worn out by all her excitement. Brandi got her a bowl of cool water that she lapped up. Lily went to her food bowl and looked in. She was starving. Brandi could tell. "Are you hungry?" She said in the same sing-song tone she had heard so many times. It felt so good to be the one saying it. Brandi patted her thighs and Lily jumped up happily wagging her tail. Lily licked her face and Brandi got her bowl and made her dinner. Lily wanted this. She wanted another meal as this version of Lily. Dog food tasted so savory, so hearty, it gave her a warm feeling. She smelled the wet food, she smelled the dry bag as she heard the crinkle of the bag opening. She started to drool. The bowl came from her Master's hand. She devoured it in gulps. While Lily was distracted, Brandi went to her bedroom and closed the door behind her. She stripped down out of her clothes. She slipped her feet into a pair of open toed nude heels. She sat at the edge of the bed so she could see herself in the mirror. She spread her legs. Her left hand went to her breasts while her right went between her legs. "I'm so fucking horny…this feeling…nothing tops this…" she thought as moans escaped her mouth. She rubbed faster and harder than the first time and her climax was more intense. Sweating and panting she wiped her hand across her brow and felt her damp hair at her neck. Brandi looked around the room "I'll be back" she told herself. She opened the door and Lily was sitting there waiting for her. Totally naked, Brandi went to the living room and got down on the floor, laying on her side, she patted the carpet next to her. Lily trotted over and flopped over next to her. Brandi scooted up and spooned with her. Brandi loved how long her legs were in comparison with Lily's doggie legs. She wrapped her arms around Lily and held her tight. Lily was perfectly content to lay there in her Master's embrace. "Why does this way have to end?" Brandi whispered to Lily. "You know I love You. You always took such good care of me when you were the person and I was the dog. I promise you I will take care of you now that our roles are reversed. If you want to keep us like this I mean. Any time we find ourselves like this, I will take such good care of you. You're my Good Girl" Lily burrowed in closer. "I really loved being like this today, this version of Brandi and I think you liked being this version of Lily" Lily did. She understood Brandi's heart leapt and she rubbed Lily's side. "I like us like this" she added. Brandi knew not to seem pushy. They lay there like that for a half-hour before the timer ran out. Brandi shivered all over "Oh God" she felt the warmth and tingling return. Starting in her toes, it ran up through her body. Lily let out a low and she got to her paws and shook. Brandi unsnapped Lily's collar "Guess that's mine again" she said in a sad tone that Lily picked up on. Lily looked down at the ground. Brandi knew she wasn't happy either. "12 hours wasn't enough" Brandi said with a reassuring smile and nod of the head as she put her hand under Lily's muzzle and lifted it so they could make eye contact. "That's right Lily! Next time…make it longer" Brandi said as she gave Lily a kiss. Color vibrantly returned to Lily's vision as her eyes changed first. She regarded the naked body of Brandi with her own eyes. Their changes started with their tails. Lily felt her tail straighten and she lost the ability to move it. Brandi felt pressure at the base of her spine building up. She put her hand behind her as the bump popped out. Brandi had a wry smile on her face as she regained muscle control of her whip-like tail as it grew out longer and thicker as she watched Lily's shrink away to nothing. "You miss it don't you?" Brandi asked in a sweet and sympathetic tone. Brandi shivered and began to shrink. Lily shook all over and began to grow. Her chest strained as her hips and shoulders rolled. Brandi felt her hips narrowing as her shoulders rolled forward. Her ass deflated as her thighs and upper arms slimmed and trimmed tremendously down. Brandi felt her heels lifting up and narrowing. She lost feeling in her fingers and toes. Her toes fused, fur covered them as she felt her pads plumping up. Brandi's hips and shoulders rotated and threw her forward. Her hands were turning back into paws and were changed by the time they hit the ground. Her arms and legs shifted and slimmed as they reverted to her doggie legs. Lily's legs grew bigger and longer. Her ass rose up at an awkward angle as it filled out and rounded. Her forelegs also were changing back into her human ones. It was getting very uncomfortable to maintain her stance. Her paws were trying to flatten out. Her back paws were growing wider and shrinking down shorter as her pads pulled in and toes formed. Her front paws were spreading. The fur was thinning as her claws turned to nails and fingers stretched outward. Lily howled as she rose up to a standing position as her hips rotated and popped into place. Her shoulders rolled back as her chest quivered, returning to human shape. Brandi looked between her legs as her vulva turned black, the lips thickened and it shifted backwards. She felt her insides churning. She was well aware of her mental changes too. Lily's feet took shape along with her legs. Her hips spread and her vulva dropped back into place. Her stomach growled and she felt a draining inside of her immediately replaced by a refill. A row of her nipples popped into oblivion. Then the next. And the next. Her chest was changing and her final set of nipples pushed out as her breasts grew out, returning to her body and to their shape. Brandi's boobs swung awkwardly on her barrel chest. Finally, she felt them lift up diminishing in size, getting smaller and closer to her chest. They pulled all the way in and subsequently additional rows of nipples appeared. Lily's hands began to explore. She touched her breasts and her still furry face as her mental traits began to return. Her muzzle started to retract. Her teeth and tongue adjusted and adapted. Her ears shrank down as her fur retreated and her hair grew back. "Lily!" Brandi yelled out just before her muzzle pushed out, her teeth and tongue changed in turn. They nodded at the other as their faces morphed and moved. Brandi's ears perked up, rose up and grew as her fur broke out and her hair pulled in. Finally, Brandi saw the color drain from her world as her eyes reversed and reverted to canine eyes. "Brandi!" Lily cried out in a pleading, longing, melancholy tone full of distress and sorrow. Lily immediately dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around Brandi, sobbing. Brandi just panted. She felt the same swirling confusion. Lily was so overwhelmed and confused. Everything was mixed up in her head. Naked and on her knees she hugged on Brandi as she cried. The crying turned to laughter "Ohmygod I'm losing my mind!" She said as she sat back at first and then laid out on her back. She stretched her legs and arms out. Brandi stood over top of her and licked her a few times "Yes, I'm okay…I'll figure this out. What a rush huh girl?" "I bet you did!" She scratched Brandi's ears. It took her well over an hour to get oriented. Thoughts rushed in and out. Feelings came and went. She gingerly got to her feet. Her legs trembling, she got clothes on. They felt itchy and constraining. She gathered up her phone and examined all the tabs. All the numbers were different. Some up, others down…for both of them. The Perception tab was grayed out and couldn't be opened. Brandi was exhausted. She lay in her dog bed, curled up asleep. Lily was tired, but wired. Her brain was going a million miles a minute processing her day. "I was a dog today" she looked at her hand "That hand was a paw! I had claws and pads and fur" She ran her hand absent-mindedly over her left ear. She put her feet up on the couch and crossed her ankles. The day was an awesome time. She didn't feel awkward about anything she had done while she was a dog. "I need to take my time though. Go to work tomorrow…let this all sink in" Lily and Brandi slept the night away. Lily got up and was ready for work. She and Brandi went through their usual daily routine for the morning. Neither of them enjoyed it. Lily's day at work was long, boring and frustrating. She couldn't wait to go home. She wanted to swap something, anything. Her mind played out every possibility. Lily got excited as she turned into her driveway "Brandi will be so happy to see me!" She thought as she parked. Her heels clacked and clicked over the concrete. Her hand trembled as she unlocked the door. Brandi was bouncing on the other side of the door. She barked and yipped and bounded around. "I know! I missed you too! Yes! We will! Do you want to swap something with me?!" "Okay girl! Let me get ready!" Heels were kicked off, her skirt was unzipped and her blouse unbuttoned. Just a bra and panties remained as she went to the couch. Lily finally relaxed "I don't know what to do first!" Brandi didn't care, she just wanted something to switch. Lily settled down from her initial excitement. She had Brandi go out so they were both ready. "What do you want from me? Lily asked Brandi "I think you want my eyes" "Do you? Do you want to switch eyes?! I see how happy you get when you see the colors" "Let me tell you. I know it's different but I don't mind having your eyes. But should we swap some more things?" Lily laughed and scratched all around Brandi's ears. "Since you get my eyes, can I please have your ears for the night?" "Yay!" Lily clapped excitedly "I'll set it until tomorrow morning. When I get ready for work. I'm going to swap something else. It won't be visible to anyone else, but we will definitely know the difference" Brandi looked around curiously as Lily continued fiddling. "There's a few other things I want to change," she blushed. "I'm changing our taste buds and our digestive systems" Brandi cocked her head. Lily dug into her purse and brought out a giant chocolate bar "It's all yours" Brandi drooled. Lily got up and made up a big bowl of dog food "This is going to be my dinner tonight" she wanted to eat right then and there. She had found herself craving it all day. "And I had to get it ready now because I hope we can swap paws for hands too?" "Yes! Thank you" Lily blushed. "I want paws so bad…" Brandi was picking up on so many signals from Lily. All of it excited her. Lily was acting so submissive to her; asking her permission to swap, wanting to trade. Brandi knew Lily wanted to trade more but was afraid to. She would wait and let it build up. She loved being human. She would get there. "I set the timer to swap everything back at 5 tomorrow morning" Lily said sitting on the couch looking excited. She was bouncing slightly up and down in anticipation. Lily pressed 'Swap selected traits' and they began immediately. Her throat tightened in excitement. The colors faded but as they did, her hearing improved. The warm tingling hit her stomach and spine as her ears grew so big and sensitive. Her eyes shifted and changed, fur grew out on her ears as they turned to huge triangles atop her head. Lily's stomach growled. The bowl of dog food grew more appealing to her and she licked her lips. Lily's knees buckled in bliss as her fingers fused together. The fur there came in as her thumbs retreated and her nails turned black, curled and became claws. She wanted to cry as she got her paw pads back. Brandi yipped in joy and spun around as color filled her eyes. They shifted closer and Brandi blinked them in gratitude. Her hearing dimmed as her ears shrank and became much less sensitive and intune. Human ears soon sat on the sides of her head. Her stomach growled and churned as her entire digestive system rewrote itself, reprogramming what she could and what she wanted to eat. Slowly but surely, her paw pads pulled inward and she stretched her muscles to separate her fingers. They grew out longer as her nails went pale, flattened out, and turned into her fingernails. Lily sighed in satisfaction. She got on.her knees and made sure she clicked her claws as she began to eat her dinner from the dog bowl. Her human teeth and tongue took the food in but she had to work a whole lot harder at it. It was worth it. To Lily, it made her appreciate her muzzle, dog teeth and tongue even more. Brandi used her hands to pop apart the chocolate bar and she placed the pieces between her teeth. It tasted so good. She was amused at Lily's eating habits. How she was just digging in so deep. Drinking water from her bowl too to wash it all down Brandi went to the fridge and got more food out for herself to savor. It was easy to.open up containers with her nimble fingers. "Um, Brandi?" She heard and saw Lily standing over her looking embarrassed. "I forgot to take my bra off before I gave myself paws…could you please help me?" Lily sat down on the ground and turned her back to Brandi. Brandi easily unhooked the clasp. "Oh thank you!" Lily exclaimed as her breasts came free as she wiggled her shoulders out of the bra. She shook all over like a dog would. It took quite a bit of effort and time for Lily to get into a pair of cotton shorts and a tee shirt. Brandi had to tie the ties on Lily's shorts so they would stay up. Lily blushed again as she needed Brandi's help to get undressed and dressed now. The two of them went into the backyard to enjoy their senses. Brandi had to operate the doorknob. Brandi saw everything while Lily heard everything. Brandi was self-conscious and went behind the tree and blanket again to do her business and once they went inside, she had to untie Lily's shorts so she could do hers. They curled up together on the bed, snuggled together as they fell asleep. They both dreamt of being the other. Lily, fully dog in her dream, obeying her Master Brandi. And as for Brandi, she was fully human, scratching Lily behind her ears as they lay on the couch. It was their changes that woke them up. Smiling at the tingling but upset about changing back. Lily blinked as she felt her ears shrink down. They tickled fiercely as her fur receded and they reverted to her human ones. She could feel her fingers returning, stretching and wiggling the kinks out as Brandi whined next to her in bed. Her paws twitched as they returned and she sat up to accommodate her growing ears. Lily giggled as her stomach churned and growled. The room was dark but she could tell her vision was back. Brandi's night vision kicked in as her stomach clenched "Back to full" Lily said as she scratched and pet Brandi. "Sorry about that girl…" Brandi licked her hand. Lily grabbed her phone "I'm going to switch something that's not visible to get us through the day" Lily searched through and opened 'Sexual Organs' "No boobs for you today but I'll swap the rest of our equipment" Brandi perked up and scrambled up, her head alert and attentive, her front paws down close to Lily. 'Swap Selected Reproductive Traits and Systems' was on screen. Lily shivered in anticipation. Once it hit, they both howled in pleasure. Brandi's black vulva turned pink and slid downward as Lily's turned black and rose up. "Mmmmmmm" Lily purred as the changes went deeper inside of her. Glands changed internally, estrogen levels adjusted. Brandi was panting as she felt that essential change click. Pure female estrogen flowing through her body as her ovaries fundamentally changed species. She was carrying human eggs inside of her. Lily put her forehead against Brandi's and held her close as essential traits swapped between them. Lily finally went and showered, taking special care of herself as she did. Her panties rubbed in a funny way underneath her skirt. She didn't mind. In fact, she liked it. Brandi licked her new part. Every tongue pass gave her an intense wave of pleasure. "I'm not setting the timer" Lily told Brandi as she was leaving. Brandi bounced. She had already gone outside and did her business using these parts. She would keep herself busy through the day. Brandi now recalled books and movies, she did multiplication charts, sharpening her human skills. Today, she was going to try to access driving. Whenever Lily had a spare moment, her thoughts instantly became those of her dog self. She wanted to be on all fours so bad. Her clothes were feeling itchy as the day went on. She went to the office and told her boss that she was feeling sick again and would be taking the next day off and would let her know after that if she would be in on Thursday. Lily's mind was running overtime. Before going home, she went to her favorite local restaurant. She sat at the bar and had a burger and a beer. She went through her phone. Going on the app, she checked both of their internal numbers. There was a new tab, 'Life Span'. Lily nearly gasped seeing it. Her eyes widened and her heart pounded in her chest. "'Metabolism and Life Span' have adjusted due to the prolonged sharing of internal systems. Subject 1 = Life Span 52 years Subject 2 = 50 years" "Brandi has a lifespan of human length?!" Lily realized "Holy Shit!" She went into recently used apps and saw Docs had been opened. A document titled Lily Please Read was there. "Ohmygod…Brandi wrote to me?!" Her hand was shaking severely as she clicked into the document. Lily, If you're reading this, it means that you are currently the woman and I am a dog. I wanted to write something down so you can know my feelings about our situation. Lily, I love being a human! I'm not ashamed to admit it. I absolutely adore seeing you as a dog too. The purity you bring to it and I love getting to snuggle with you, our roles reversed. The food, the different senses, the different perspectives. Everything about it is awesome. I also sense that you like being a dog and that you are considering making our roles reversed permanently. If I am wrong then so be it, but it's okay for you to admit it. Just know that if you do, I will always take care of you. I will protect you and keep you safe and warm and well fed. Just like you do for me now. The app can always be there. We could share time in and out. Know that I am up for anything. I can live your life. I can do your job. I can be you and you can be me. You can become what I sense you really want to be now. It just feels right! Like a missing piece has been found. I understand that you must be feeling conflicted, switching places with me would be such a huge decision for you. I love you and support whatever choice you make. Just know that I wish I were you and you were me. I wish we could swap places, bodies and lives…Brandi. Lily was in shock. "Brandi can tell" was all she thought over and over. "Brandi knows" She drove home in a fog. She grabbed the mail on her way in, just a padded manilla envelope from Pet Supplies. Lily could hear Brandi pacing just inside the door but she opened the mail still on the porch. She reached into the envelope and pulled out a set of dog tags. Fresh and shiny. One was silver. The other was pink. The pink tag said LILY. The silver had her phone number and address. Lily looked through the window and saw Brandi pacing but happy as could be. Brandi bounced as soon as Lily walked in. Lily caught her paws and helped her stay up on her hind legs. Brandi licked Lily's face enthusiastically. "Yes I'm happy to see you too!" Lily said. Brandi stayed by the door and Lily let her out. She came back relieved a few minutes later. She made up Brandi's dinner and put the bowl in front of her Brandi went at it with gusto. Brandi was a bit confused and hesitant, Lily was acting strange, she was afraid she may have overplayed her hand. Lily just watched Brandi eat, enthralled. "We need to talk Miss Brandi" Lily said as she walked to the living room and sat down on the couch. Brandi followed slinking a bit lower than usual lately. Lily smirked seeing it. "I found your note to me" Lily began. She sat back and crossed her legs. She also pulled out the tags "And I found the present you bought me" Brandi looked at the ground, if she was physically capable of blushing, she would be. "You really want my body don't you?" Lily asked "I can't blame you…you've been a dog all your life and I gave you a taste of being human. You saw all the things you can do, do for yourself instead of waiting for me to aid you. There's a ton of stuff though that you don't know yet about being human" she paused "But you will" Brandi perked up. "I'm going to teach you how to be fully human. How to do everything I do. How to be me. How to replace me" Brandi bounced a bit and let out a low "We're going to swap places for longer and longer periods of time. Because you are right; I do want to be you…I wish we could swap places too" "Now like you said, the app will always be there. After a while as me, you might get the urge to swap back. Maybe just a trait here and there to start…like you might miss having a tail. Or just to take a break. I'll set our timer for longer and longer times. 2 days to start…then 4 days…then a week at a time" Brandi was attentive. She listened attentively. "Then a month. You will be me and I will be you for a full month. We will see at that point what we're feeling. You need to write it out, no matter what it is, you need to be brutally honest…do you understand?" "You'll be the one talking and walking and working. Being human for 12 hours is one thing, you might not like it as much as you think. Thumbs for stress…" Lily was talking in circles trying to justify everything that was about to happen. "I am about to turn myself into my dog and give her my body and mind in my place" She sat back and sighed. She ran her hand through her hair. So many conflicting feelings "it feels so good to be carefree as a dog" she thought "and I absolutely love having paws. The way the ground feels underneath them" Lily looked at Brandi "Two days okay. Two days and then we change back. Write down your thoughts and we can discuss our future plans at that point. I'm not committing to being a Doberman for the next 50 years just quite yet" Brandi was still excited. She just wanted to be human already. Lily's mouth watered and her fingers were already numb as she got in the app. She went into Physical Traits first 'Swap Entire Physical Form' came up and she selected it. With a long exhale, she went into Mental Traits. "Going all the way this time" she said as she began to set all the fields. Subject 1 went to full dog while Subject 2 went to fully human. So many numbers flipped to essentially reset each of them as the other. Brandi would gain full human intelligence while Lily would lose it, leaving herself with the mind of a dog. She had never set their numbers this far before. Lily set the timer for 48 hours. Her lifeboat. With the timer set, she sighed. "Not permanent…not yet…" she repeated to herself as she got undressed. Lily rubbed her hands and looked at her flat palms. Picturing her paw pads lifting up comforted her, soothed her. She took Brandi's collar off and she hooked on the tags that read Lily before she put it on around her own neck. Brandi sat up straight. Her head held high and up. "Take care of me Brandi" Lily said. Her nerves were at a level she had never felt before, but there was also excitement equally alongside those fears. 'Transfer All Selected Traits' was waiting on the screen. She brought her finger down. Immediately after, she dropped the phone as a sound like the lowest note of a plucked guitar string on an Amp cranked all the way up rocked both their bodies. It vibrated and shook the two of them to their cores. Everything Lily had ever known or understood, every thought she had about herself, her self-image, her entire consciousness, her humanity and place and role: It all changed. Lily froze. She rose upon the balls of her feet as her body began to change. Faster than before, her tail shot out, covered in fur from the get go.. Her chest and body shape quickly modified, shrinking down as her hips and shoulders rotated and popped in different directions. Two quick jerks and her legs flipped. Her feet and hands fused changing into paws. Her vagina and vulva changed, triggering a chain reaction to all of her internal organs. Her face elongated as she fell forward. Her muzzle growing out, her ears shooting up, her eyes and nose rapidly adjusting. The power of it forced Lily onto her haunches, sitting. She looked directly across at another dog. Brandi felt the vibrations wracking her body in overpowering waves. Transcendent, unique unparalleled power coursed through her, freezing her in place, paws planted on the ground as incomparable, innate knowledge and thought pierced her. Boundless potential, unlimited and full humanity came into her possession. Everything she had ever known altered, growing exponentially with every passing second. Her self-image, her entire consciousness evolved. Her place and role in the world converted from animal to human. Her thoughts on every little thing reversed. Mostly, her thoughts on her trading partner irrevocably switched, transferring their respective roles from one to the other. Brandi still couldn't move. She watched as Lily transformed. Her human body, contracting and jolting, wriggling and twitching, quivering and shivering, as it shrank down and changed shape into the body of a dog. They were exact, physical twins; down to the last hair. Brandi looked closely at her twin. Lily looked back, cooking her head slightly before she reared back as Brandi's body exploded upward and outward in an eruption of physical changes. In a rush, Brandi's body lifted up. Her chest expanded, her hips and shoulders popped and rolled, rotating as her arms and legs grew. Her ass lifted off the ground, her tail sucking up inside of her as her vagina and vulva shifted forward, setting off her own chain reaction of internal changes. Her paws spread, changing into hands and feet as her stomrose up and her breasts grew off her now upright chest. Her hips spread and her heels dropped as she stood like the woman she was becoming. Her muzzle retracted, her nose grew. Her ears shrank as hair sprouted. Her skin was bathed in sweat as her face took shape. "OHMYGOD!" Brandi screamed, her head back, as her body fully changed. Brandi was panting from the intensity of her transformation. She shuffled her feet to stay up and she detected that Lily was just starting to move too. Her dog was sniffing at something on the floor in front of her. Brandi finally relaxed and came around. Lily was nosing between her feet. "What is it girl? What's…" Brandi stopped "Oh!" She added feeling an unnatural heat building in her as she took in the sight. "Uh Oh" was all she could muster upon seeing the broken phone on the tile floor between her feet.

Talk about wild swings in luck. First, Cedric and Malinda find themselves being chased by certain death. Then they're saved by the Delurans. Then they're ambushed by a sniper and Cedric winds up being shot in the head. Then Sorcha brings him back from the dead. It's a good thing she was there!
That's going to be some story they have to tell. If you ask me, they should stay the heck out of Felarya after going through that. Or at least come more prepared. Luck like they had doesn't happen very often.
I'm not sure there's another character quite like Sorcha. I'm normally not fond of characters with amnesia/memory loss. It typically dominates the story in lieu of everything else. But you did a good job keeping things interesting with the other facets of her life.
I'm not sure I'd have noticed her hair being white without you mentioning it in the comments. I hope it wasn't "scared white," as the saying goes.
