      "description": "[section,expanded=CMSN- forest guardian]\nCommission for TheNomeKing.\n\n[/section]\n[section=Nature's Call – BSB CMSN]\n[i] Wind rushed through the trees; the branches creaked from the gusts that blew through the forest. Bushes rustled gently as the sun shone high in the autumn sky. Peaceful. A twig snapped loudly in the forest as David disturbed the harmony of the forest. His red-plaid shirt and blue jeans weren’t of this place, nor was the .44 Winchester he carried in his hands. David scanned the terrain as he moved through the forest, not walking straight between the trees, but moving from trunk to trunk with purpose and swiftness, to hide himself from the denizens of the woodland. After a few more minutes of searching, he found his prize. He carefully moved forwards over a fallen tree and hid behind the trunk of a mighty oak. A buck. He stood in the forest, proud and regal. The shadow of the canopy cast down over his furry hide and massive antlers. David squeezed the grip of his lever action rifle and pulled the handle down slowly. He looked down, making sure a round had been loaded in the chamber before returning the lever back to its original position. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Unbeknownst the to the hunter, something watched from afar. Black eyes pierced through the veil of the forest from a place unseen, a space unknown. He pulled up his plastic ear protectors and looked back towards the buck. The trunks of the trees began to creak loudly, the sound of a strange whisper was carried across the wind. David pulled the rifle up and began to exhale. He looked down the scope of his rifle, training it on the head of the buck. It was a tricky shot, but he didn’t want to wound the buck. A swift death would be best. respectful. It was as caring as one could be while hunting for food and fur. David could feel the wind brushing on his neck. He could hear something, a voice. Despite having his ear protectors in, he heard it calling to him in the back of his head. It spoke in tongues alien to him, and despite never having heard the voice before, he almost recognised it. He tried to focus on the shot, his prize. He didn’t want to have his hunting trip wasted. He squinted as he saw something strange happen. The trees began to spread apart, as if the forest was moving away from him, in all directions. He heard the same strange voice whisper again as the trees continued to shake and creak. They seemed to shudder, staying where they were whilst shaking in his vision. This strange sight strained David’s eyes. His mind was on fire. Pain burned within his forehead, it felt like he was looking at a bright light, staring at something which pained him to witness. He winced, squeezed the trigger, and took the shot. [/i]\n\n\n[i] A kick to the shoulder, a loud bang rang out through the forest. David blinked after seeing the flash, his eyes adjusting to the sudden change in environment. A sonic boom rang out through the forest, the trees that’d seemed so strange before, now appeared different. They rose up into the sky, the trunks growing longer, thicker and darker. The light of the sun flickered as a new strange ethereal glow shone through the forest, a mist shrouding the woodland. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “What?” David said quietly as he looked around, realising that something very strange had just occurred. Within the span of seconds, the forest around him had transformed. He peered upwards and saw how the trees seemed to extend into the sky for what felt like miles. The trunks of the trees seemed dark, twisted. The light from the sun had vanished, instead replaced with a strange glow that had no origin, yet the shadows danced around in all directions, as if illuminated from a swinging light. It felt like David was in a different forest, yet the layout was the same. He looked back to where the buck had once stood, expecting to see his prize. Instead, it stood tall and proud. Its head turned to stare at David, its ears pricking up, sensing his presence. [/i]\n\n\n[i] But something was wrong with the animal he’d been hunting too. David could see the trees through the buck’s body, as if it was just an ethereal apparition. Like a ghost. David stood up, resting the rifle on the tree in front of him and looked around, confused and curious by the strange space he found himself in. It looked the same as the forest he’d been walking through, but different. The fallen log, the tall trees and thick grass were all identical. But this place felt strange, bizarre. Those same black eyes priced through the forest, peering down at David from a nearby ridge. A thrumming sound began to ring out through the alien forest, ringing in his ears. He pulled away the plastic protectors, and the ringing stopped. David put them back into his back pocket before feeling an electric tingle in the air as the wind kicked up. The trees creaked and shuddered, and David’s heart began to race. Something was coming. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Somebody there? Hello?” David shouted, looking left, right, behind. He could sense something approaching him, but he couldn’t see anything. He could only feel the encroaching dread. The ethereal buck bounded away back into the forest and out of sight. David was alone, save for the presence that loomed over him. David’s heart fluttered for a moment. The wind rushed through his hair, a whisper on the wind rushed past his ears. Then, his pelvis suddenly snapped. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Gahhh!” David cried out, falling to one knee at the violent cracking sound of his pelvis, his gut twisted and lurched, forcing him forwards. David grasped his belly; the muscles were clenching and rippling. He tried to stand again, only to be brought back down by another cracking sound, this time emanating from his spine. Another popping sound shuddered through his body, rippling vibrations cascaded through his flesh, sinew, and blood as his bones began to change shape. David reached down and grasping his gaunt waist. he could feel his pelvis shuddering, an irregular vibration that rippled through his flesh. He could feel his hips shifting as they popped out, becoming wider. His jeans strained at the increase in pressure as his pelvis started to expand outwards. Accompanying this bizarre skeletal shift was a strange burning sensation. It felt like hot water was being poured into the middle of his body, the warmth permeating outwards into his skin which felt hot to the touch. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Wh-what the fuck!” David cried out, gritting his teeth as he felt his belt straining under the pressure of his growing hips, “H-help! Anyone?!” Another snapping sound forced a yelp of surprise from David as his ass began to press against the denim of his jeans, as if it was being inflated with water. He reached back, pressed a hand against his ass and felt it swelling. Tighter his jeans became with a rapid expansion of muscle and fat. The button strained and the zip shot down, but alas; the pressure kept building. Unable to bear the confinement, David reached down and tugged on his belt. The pressure finally gave way and David let out a gasp as his belly pushed out, his ass pressed down on his jeans, pushing them down his legs. His hips snapped again, his pelvis creaked, and his spine popped as it began to grow. David could feel his belly stretching, his midsection straining as his body grew longer; the middle part of his body was extending to create a larger space between his ribcage and pelvis. The terrified hunter looked down; his eyes wide as he saw his belly starting to deform. Two large growths began to stretch out from his lengthening midsection. Popping bone and straining sinew shifted beneath the skin, tugging out into lumps, which quickly began to grow forth, gaining definition and structure with every second that passed. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Oh god, oh god…” David whimpered, confused. He was unable to emote, incapable of rationalising what he was seeing, he was too shocked to do anything but watch. A tingling sensation began to spread across his skin, emanating from beneath his jeans, the fabric of which had begun to tear as David’s thighs swelled with newfound fat and muscle, becoming so large that even his burst jeans could not contain his expanding flesh. Past the growths extending out of his belly, David caught sight of something else. Hair. Short stands of soft, light brown hair had begun to prickle out the skin. It quickly spread up his stretching midsection, forming a thick pelt-like coating across the back of his straining torso and across his swelling ass, now several times larger than it’d been before. David looked back as the hair covered his rear which continued to grow. He grunted as he felt his buttocks being pulled apart, the muscle and fat being repurposed on the side of his shifting lower body. David’s heart sank as he peered across the spreading hair that covered his shifting lower body. He recognised it. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “F-fur!?” David cried out, recognising the newly configured cervine flanks, covered in soft brown fur with white speckles. These were the hindquarters of a deer. David’s heart raced as he tried to comprehend what was happening, peering across his shifting cervine rear. He noticed something growing out from atop his shifting butt, a growth. Like his expanding appendages, this growth quickly gained length. Fur from his lower back tingled across this new fleshy extension as it grew out, his spine popping and shifting as it extended into this strange growth. Fur consumed it fully before motor neurons fired and sent an electrical tingle through David’s spine. It was a tail. David stared, open mouthed and dumbfounded as he wiggled his new deer tail, watching it flick about at his command. There was no strangeness in the sensation or attempt to learn how to control it, he just understood it. It was like he was awakening from a dream where he’d been without it, only to remember what it was like to have a tail, because he’d always had one. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Th-this can’t be real, I g-godda be dreaming,” David stammered, his heart still racing. As he continued to change, David looked around, hoping to see somebody or something. Anything, he’d take anything that could help explain this bizarre change. He looked down and saw his gun. The wooden parts of the rifle had begun to grow out, the stock that’d been resting against the grass has sprouted roots, the grip was extending into branches. Buds for new leaves and flowers began to bloom from the tips of these branches. His gun was becoming a part of this place, merging with the environment, returning to nature. Is that what was happening to him? [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Ngh-aahh! Arghh!” A pinch brought David’s thoughts back to reality, to the present situation. It was a tugging sensation in his pants, between his legs. He looked down with a terrified expression. He could feel something tugging back, moving, shifting. Heat permeated his groin and flooded his chest. He tried to reach down, but his midsection had grown so long that he could no longer reach. His attention was drawn back to the growing extensions of his midsection. They’d now grown out into what appeared to be stumps. As they grew, David saw a leg-like joint forming. Bone shifted beneath the flesh as fur began to spread down what appeared to be additional limbs growing out from his stretching midsection. He cried out in shock as he felt his feet suddenly shift down. His spine shifted up again, his lengthy lower body grew longer, heavier. His tail wiggled as he felt his knees jerking up. David pushed himself up against the tree, pressing his hands against the bark and using it to push himself up. His feet jerked up again as they suddenly grew longer, propping him up onto something hard and stiff that remained hidden within his shoes and socks. It felt like he was resting on the tips of his toes. With little effort, David stepped out of his shoes, his socks falling away to reveal his feet. [/i]\n\n\n[i] David cried out in terror at the sight of his feet, or whatever remained of them. His left foot had extended out entirely, the nails that’d once tipped his middle toes were expanding. His other toes were shrinking, being pulled behind his extending foot, now being repurposed as the hind leg of an animal. His right foot was a little further behind, but the fur consuming them made it clear what they were becoming. Hooves. The hooves of a deer. David pushed himself back, rearing up on his shifting legs, now supporting the full weight of his shifting body. New bones began to develop within his stretched midsection. These thin curved bones ran across the inside of his shifting lower body which had now become larger than his upper torso. These bones connected into a smooth plate, before barrelling out and snapping into place. Another ribcage for his changing lower body. The growing limbs popped and snapped; the bones shifted out as the tips of a hard surface appeared from the growing stumps. David watched as these growing limbs took shape. Hooves appeared at the tips of these new limbs, growing declaws shifted out from the darkening flesh and fur consumed them entirely. They continued to grow, and David felt them twisting, shifting at his command. They were the forelegs of a deer. Just as his human legs were becoming the hind legs of a deer, he’d been gifted with the forelegs to stand as a deer did. David now had an additional pair of limbs, the hooved forelegs of a cervine beast. The fur tingled up, covering his belly button and stopping just below his ribcage. As David’s spine arched back, his forelegs moving towards the ground, he realised what he was becoming; a centaur, or at least something akin to one. The extra limbs, the animal-like body. He was becoming a deer-taur. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Oh g-god. Oh god!” David cried out, looking down at his shifting deer forelegs, moving them at his command. Like his tail, it felt natural, normal. It was like he’d always possessed an extra set of limbs, as if he’d always walked upon four legs. David’s feet jerked upwards, his jeans straining and tearing apart, shifting down his thickening legs. His femur shortened as the nails on his left foot became thicker, heavier. Hooves. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Wh-what now…” David gasped, feeling his chest barrel out as the heat of change flooded his ribcage, air rushing through his body and into a new pair of lungs within the body of his deer-taur form. David’s shirt bulged outwards, he could feel his nipples tingling, his chest swelling. David looked down and saw how his chest had begun to expand, and two large bulged appeared from his bust. Newfound fat and flesh pressed out against the skin, until David realised what the pinching sensation between his legs was earlier. He grabbed his plaid shirt, pulled it open and revealed the prize beneath, “oh w-wow!” [/i]\n\n\n[i] Two shapely breasts hung from where a flat chest had once been, no longer manly, gaunt and flat, his body was becoming smooth, feminine and busty. His nipples perked up; the areola grew larger as David noticed that his skin was also becoming darker. The once pale flesh rapidly began to shift in tone, becoming a light brown, similar in shade to the fur that covered his almost fully formed cervine taur-body. David blushed brightly, reaching a trembling hand up to his now B-cup breasts, and gently lifted it up. A rush of heat flushed into David’s face as he fondled his new feminine mammary, forcing a gentle whimper to leave his shaking lips. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Ahhh, haahh! Oh gosh this f-feels…” David stammered, his cheeks flushing red as his cervine lower body continued to grow, and felt even more natural as time went on, “…g-good?” David held his breast, moved a finger up and teased the nipple. A wash of pleasure shot down his long taur spine, all the way to the tip of his tail. He hadn’t even noticed how he was wagging his tail happily, seemingly subconsciously. He watched as his fingers began to pop and crack. The once manly digits shrank a little, the tips of his fingers becoming more pointed, his nails growing a little longer. The skin changed colour, spreading up to his neck, and before he knew it; David’s hands were those of a woman. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “F-fuck this feels so g-good!” he stammered again, this time using both of his shapely ladylike hands to knead and play with both his large C-cup breasts, allowing them to fill his palms. He felt the heat flushing as he fell forwards, now standing on four fully developed cervine hooves. David smiled and panted. He could feel his hair tickling against his cheeks as it grew longer, and although he couldn’t see it yet; the once dark hair began to change colour, shifting from a near black to a shimmering crimson. Longer and fuller his hair grew, his ears prickling as fur developed across the changing earlobes. He could feel the cartilage within them creaking as they grew out, fur tingled across them as they began to become more deerlike, more animal. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Oh g-god! Y-yes!” David cried out, tugging on his nipples as his breasts swelled to a D-cup, stretching his four new lengthy deer legs out. He scraped the ground with his hooves and looked down to admire them. He saw how his gun had totally vanished into the bark; it was now merely an imprint in the trunk of the tree. The gun had returned to nature and David was also becoming one with the forest, becoming a part of this place. He could hear the voice upon the wind, the sound of something greater than he. It spoke to him, called out his name. The more David changed, the more he understood it, the more he wanted to hear the call of this place, of this otherworldly being. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “M-more!” David cried out, now totally consumed with bliss of his flesh, the ecstasy of his change, the desire within his bones. He closed his eyes, realising that he was no longer a man, neither in the sense of being human, nor male. He was a free spirit of the wild, a beautiful creature of nature, a doe. David couldn’t resist the lure, nor deny the want of his spirit. David closed his eyes, accepting it now, wanting it. The forest called out again, but not to him; to HER. [/i]\n\n\n[i] She opened her mouth and panted, her lips throbbing as they began to swell. Her face popped and cracked as the male shape began to fade. The pale flesh darkened, becoming a light brown, matching perfectly with the furry hide of her deerlike body. Her eyelashes lengthened, her hair flowed down her shoulders, now lengthy, voluptuous and beautiful. The once dark brown human hair had become beautiful crimson. David was becoming a beautiful redhead, a womanly doe. David’s pronounced nose popped back, shifting and changing as the rest of her facial features become more delicate, more akin to that of a lady. As she moaned, panted and gasped; she heard her deep voice shifting up in tone. Her hair flopped over her left eye as it grew longer still, now she cried out in pleasure with her new voice, the voice of a woman. She held her beautiful breasts with both hands, rubbing them, teasing them. She felt her new deer ears wiggling as they pricked up past the crimson hair, now long and lengthy. Her body shivered, she now understood. The wind, the trees, the creaking wood and flowing grass. It was a language, it called out to her, telling David her true name. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Daniela,” she whispered in her new voice, through her full lips and heavy breath. Daniela opened her doe eyes, now entirely black and devoid of white. She cried out, overjoyed with the bliss of her epiphany and transcendence. Her spirit had ascended, her mind expanded, her thoughts and soul now tied to this place. She was complete. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Daniela panted and looked down, admiring her shapely body. From her long red hair, to her furry doe legs and dark hooves; nothing remained of her former self. She kicked her jeans away and rubbed the shirt against her breasts before pulling it off her ladylike frame and throwing it to the forest floor. Daniela sighed happily at the feeling of being free of clothing, of her old life. She flicked her long red hair, smiled happily and wiggled her tail. She was complete, happy, content. She heard the call of her goddess, the forest and something else. Another voice called out to her, and Daniela turned. She saw upon the hill another one of her kind, another spirit. Though Daniela could not see her, Daniela knew who she was. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Kicking away at the grass, she bounded over the fallen tree with incredible speed and grace, her breasts bouncing, her hair flowing in the wind. The two spirits disappeared into the forest, keepers of this realm, spirits of fertility and freedom. They heard their goddesses voice, her lure. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Nature’s call.

      "description": "[section,expanded=CMSN- forest guardian]\nCommission for TheNomeKing.\n\n[/section]\n[section=Nature's Call – BSB CMSN]\n[i] Wind rushed through the trees; the branches creaked from the gusts that blew through the forest. Bushes rustled gently as the sun shone high in the autumn sky. Peaceful. A twig snapped loudly in the forest as David disturbed the harmony of the forest. His red-plaid shirt and blue jeans weren’t of this place, nor was the .44 Winchester he carried in his hands. David scanned the terrain as he moved through the forest, not walking straight between the trees, but moving from trunk to trunk with purpose and swiftness, to hide himself from the denizens of the woodland. After a few more minutes of searching, he found his prize. He carefully moved forwards over a fallen tree and hid behind the trunk of a mighty oak. A buck. He stood in the forest, proud and regal. The shadow of the canopy cast down over his furry hide and massive antlers. David squeezed the grip of his lever action rifle and pulled the handle down slowly. He looked down, making sure a round had been loaded in the chamber before returning the lever back to its original position. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Unbeknownst the to the hunter, something watched from afar. Black eyes pierced through the veil of the forest from a place unseen, a space unknown. He pulled up his plastic ear protectors and looked back towards the buck. The trunks of the trees began to creak loudly, the sound of a strange whisper was carried across the wind. David pulled the rifle up and began to exhale. He looked down the scope of his rifle, training it on the head of the buck. It was a tricky shot, but he didn’t want to wound the buck. A swift death would be best. respectful. It was as caring as one could be while hunting for food and fur. David could feel the wind brushing on his neck. He could hear something, a voice. Despite having his ear protectors in, he heard it calling to him in the back of his head. It spoke in tongues alien to him, and despite never having heard the voice before, he almost recognised it. He tried to focus on the shot, his prize. He didn’t want to have his hunting trip wasted. He squinted as he saw something strange happen. The trees began to spread apart, as if the forest was moving away from him, in all directions. He heard the same strange voice whisper again as the trees continued to shake and creak. They seemed to shudder, staying where they were whilst shaking in his vision. This strange sight strained David’s eyes. His mind was on fire. Pain burned within his forehead, it felt like he was looking at a bright light, staring at something which pained him to witness. He winced, squeezed the trigger, and took the shot. [/i]\n\n\n[i] A kick to the shoulder, a loud bang rang out through the forest. David blinked after seeing the flash, his eyes adjusting to the sudden change in environment. A sonic boom rang out through the forest, the trees that’d seemed so strange before, now appeared different. They rose up into the sky, the trunks growing longer, thicker and darker. The light of the sun flickered as a new strange ethereal glow shone through the forest, a mist shrouding the woodland. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “What?” David said quietly as he looked around, realising that something very strange had just occurred. Within the span of seconds, the forest around him had transformed. He peered upwards and saw how the trees seemed to extend into the sky for what felt like miles. The trunks of the trees seemed dark, twisted. The light from the sun had vanished, instead replaced with a strange glow that had no origin, yet the shadows danced around in all directions, as if illuminated from a swinging light. It felt like David was in a different forest, yet the layout was the same. He looked back to where the buck had once stood, expecting to see his prize. Instead, it stood tall and proud. Its head turned to stare at David, its ears pricking up, sensing his presence. [/i]\n\n\n[i] But something was wrong with the animal he’d been hunting too. David could see the trees through the buck’s body, as if it was just an ethereal apparition. Like a ghost. David stood up, resting the rifle on the tree in front of him and looked around, confused and curious by the strange space he found himself in. It looked the same as the forest he’d been walking through, but different. The fallen log, the tall trees and thick grass were all identical. But this place felt strange, bizarre. Those same black eyes priced through the forest, peering down at David from a nearby ridge. A thrumming sound began to ring out through the alien forest, ringing in his ears. He pulled away the plastic protectors, and the ringing stopped. David put them back into his back pocket before feeling an electric tingle in the air as the wind kicked up. The trees creaked and shuddered, and David’s heart began to race. Something was coming. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Somebody there? Hello?” David shouted, looking left, right, behind. He could sense something approaching him, but he couldn’t see anything. He could only feel the encroaching dread. The ethereal buck bounded away back into the forest and out of sight. David was alone, save for the presence that loomed over him. David’s heart fluttered for a moment. The wind rushed through his hair, a whisper on the wind rushed past his ears. Then, his pelvis suddenly snapped. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Gahhh!” David cried out, falling to one knee at the violent cracking sound of his pelvis, his gut twisted and lurched, forcing him forwards. David grasped his belly; the muscles were clenching and rippling. He tried to stand again, only to be brought back down by another cracking sound, this time emanating from his spine. Another popping sound shuddered through his body, rippling vibrations cascaded through his flesh, sinew, and blood as his bones began to change shape. David reached down and grasping his gaunt waist. he could feel his pelvis shuddering, an irregular vibration that rippled through his flesh. He could feel his hips shifting as they popped out, becoming wider. His jeans strained at the increase in pressure as his pelvis started to expand outwards. Accompanying this bizarre skeletal shift was a strange burning sensation. It felt like hot water was being poured into the middle of his body, the warmth permeating outwards into his skin which felt hot to the touch. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Wh-what the fuck!” David cried out, gritting his teeth as he felt his belt straining under the pressure of his growing hips, “H-help! Anyone?!” Another snapping sound forced a yelp of surprise from David as his ass began to press against the denim of his jeans, as if it was being inflated with water. He reached back, pressed a hand against his ass and felt it swelling. Tighter his jeans became with a rapid expansion of muscle and fat. The button strained and the zip shot down, but alas; the pressure kept building. Unable to bear the confinement, David reached down and tugged on his belt. The pressure finally gave way and David let out a gasp as his belly pushed out, his ass pressed down on his jeans, pushing them down his legs. His hips snapped again, his pelvis creaked, and his spine popped as it began to grow. David could feel his belly stretching, his midsection straining as his body grew longer; the middle part of his body was extending to create a larger space between his ribcage and pelvis. The terrified hunter looked down; his eyes wide as he saw his belly starting to deform. Two large growths began to stretch out from his lengthening midsection. Popping bone and straining sinew shifted beneath the skin, tugging out into lumps, which quickly began to grow forth, gaining definition and structure with every second that passed. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Oh god, oh god…” David whimpered, confused. He was unable to emote, incapable of rationalising what he was seeing, he was too shocked to do anything but watch. A tingling sensation began to spread across his skin, emanating from beneath his jeans, the fabric of which had begun to tear as David’s thighs swelled with newfound fat and muscle, becoming so large that even his burst jeans could not contain his expanding flesh. Past the growths extending out of his belly, David caught sight of something else. Hair. Short stands of soft, light brown hair had begun to prickle out the skin. It quickly spread up his stretching midsection, forming a thick pelt-like coating across the back of his straining torso and across his swelling ass, now several times larger than it’d been before. David looked back as the hair covered his rear which continued to grow. He grunted as he felt his buttocks being pulled apart, the muscle and fat being repurposed on the side of his shifting lower body. David’s heart sank as he peered across the spreading hair that covered his shifting lower body. He recognised it. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “F-fur!?” David cried out, recognising the newly configured cervine flanks, covered in soft brown fur with white speckles. These were the hindquarters of a deer. David’s heart raced as he tried to comprehend what was happening, peering across his shifting cervine rear. He noticed something growing out from atop his shifting butt, a growth. Like his expanding appendages, this growth quickly gained length. Fur from his lower back tingled across this new fleshy extension as it grew out, his spine popping and shifting as it extended into this strange growth. Fur consumed it fully before motor neurons fired and sent an electrical tingle through David’s spine. It was a tail. David stared, open mouthed and dumbfounded as he wiggled his new deer tail, watching it flick about at his command. There was no strangeness in the sensation or attempt to learn how to control it, he just understood it. It was like he was awakening from a dream where he’d been without it, only to remember what it was like to have a tail, because he’d always had one. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Th-this can’t be real, I g-godda be dreaming,” David stammered, his heart still racing. As he continued to change, David looked around, hoping to see somebody or something. Anything, he’d take anything that could help explain this bizarre change. He looked down and saw his gun. The wooden parts of the rifle had begun to grow out, the stock that’d been resting against the grass has sprouted roots, the grip was extending into branches. Buds for new leaves and flowers began to bloom from the tips of these branches. His gun was becoming a part of this place, merging with the environment, returning to nature. Is that what was happening to him? [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Ngh-aahh! Arghh!” A pinch brought David’s thoughts back to reality, to the present situation. It was a tugging sensation in his pants, between his legs. He looked down with a terrified expression. He could feel something tugging back, moving, shifting. Heat permeated his groin and flooded his chest. He tried to reach down, but his midsection had grown so long that he could no longer reach. His attention was drawn back to the growing extensions of his midsection. They’d now grown out into what appeared to be stumps. As they grew, David saw a leg-like joint forming. Bone shifted beneath the flesh as fur began to spread down what appeared to be additional limbs growing out from his stretching midsection. He cried out in shock as he felt his feet suddenly shift down. His spine shifted up again, his lengthy lower body grew longer, heavier. His tail wiggled as he felt his knees jerking up. David pushed himself up against the tree, pressing his hands against the bark and using it to push himself up. His feet jerked up again as they suddenly grew longer, propping him up onto something hard and stiff that remained hidden within his shoes and socks. It felt like he was resting on the tips of his toes. With little effort, David stepped out of his shoes, his socks falling away to reveal his feet. [/i]\n\n\n[i] David cried out in terror at the sight of his feet, or whatever remained of them. His left foot had extended out entirely, the nails that’d once tipped his middle toes were expanding. His other toes were shrinking, being pulled behind his extending foot, now being repurposed as the hind leg of an animal. His right foot was a little further behind, but the fur consuming them made it clear what they were becoming. Hooves. The hooves of a deer. David pushed himself back, rearing up on his shifting legs, now supporting the full weight of his shifting body. New bones began to develop within his stretched midsection. These thin curved bones ran across the inside of his shifting lower body which had now become larger than his upper torso. These bones connected into a smooth plate, before barrelling out and snapping into place. Another ribcage for his changing lower body. The growing limbs popped and snapped; the bones shifted out as the tips of a hard surface appeared from the growing stumps. David watched as these growing limbs took shape. Hooves appeared at the tips of these new limbs, growing declaws shifted out from the darkening flesh and fur consumed them entirely. They continued to grow, and David felt them twisting, shifting at his command. They were the forelegs of a deer. Just as his human legs were becoming the hind legs of a deer, he’d been gifted with the forelegs to stand as a deer did. David now had an additional pair of limbs, the hooved forelegs of a cervine beast. The fur tingled up, covering his belly button and stopping just below his ribcage. As David’s spine arched back, his forelegs moving towards the ground, he realised what he was becoming; a centaur, or at least something akin to one. The extra limbs, the animal-like body. He was becoming a deer-taur. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Oh g-god. Oh god!” David cried out, looking down at his shifting deer forelegs, moving them at his command. Like his tail, it felt natural, normal. It was like he’d always possessed an extra set of limbs, as if he’d always walked upon four legs. David’s feet jerked upwards, his jeans straining and tearing apart, shifting down his thickening legs. His femur shortened as the nails on his left foot became thicker, heavier. Hooves. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Wh-what now…” David gasped, feeling his chest barrel out as the heat of change flooded his ribcage, air rushing through his body and into a new pair of lungs within the body of his deer-taur form. David’s shirt bulged outwards, he could feel his nipples tingling, his chest swelling. David looked down and saw how his chest had begun to expand, and two large bulged appeared from his bust. Newfound fat and flesh pressed out against the skin, until David realised what the pinching sensation between his legs was earlier. He grabbed his plaid shirt, pulled it open and revealed the prize beneath, “oh w-wow!” [/i]\n\n\n[i] Two shapely breasts hung from where a flat chest had once been, no longer manly, gaunt and flat, his body was becoming smooth, feminine and busty. His nipples perked up; the areola grew larger as David noticed that his skin was also becoming darker. The once pale flesh rapidly began to shift in tone, becoming a light brown, similar in shade to the fur that covered his almost fully formed cervine taur-body. David blushed brightly, reaching a trembling hand up to his now B-cup breasts, and gently lifted it up. A rush of heat flushed into David’s face as he fondled his new feminine mammary, forcing a gentle whimper to leave his shaking lips. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Ahhh, haahh! Oh gosh this f-feels…” David stammered, his cheeks flushing red as his cervine lower body continued to grow, and felt even more natural as time went on, “…g-good?” David held his breast, moved a finger up and teased the nipple. A wash of pleasure shot down his long taur spine, all the way to the tip of his tail. He hadn’t even noticed how he was wagging his tail happily, seemingly subconsciously. He watched as his fingers began to pop and crack. The once manly digits shrank a little, the tips of his fingers becoming more pointed, his nails growing a little longer. The skin changed colour, spreading up to his neck, and before he knew it; David’s hands were those of a woman. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “F-fuck this feels so g-good!” he stammered again, this time using both of his shapely ladylike hands to knead and play with both his large C-cup breasts, allowing them to fill his palms. He felt the heat flushing as he fell forwards, now standing on four fully developed cervine hooves. David smiled and panted. He could feel his hair tickling against his cheeks as it grew longer, and although he couldn’t see it yet; the once dark hair began to change colour, shifting from a near black to a shimmering crimson. Longer and fuller his hair grew, his ears prickling as fur developed across the changing earlobes. He could feel the cartilage within them creaking as they grew out, fur tingled across them as they began to become more deerlike, more animal. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Oh g-god! Y-yes!” David cried out, tugging on his nipples as his breasts swelled to a D-cup, stretching his four new lengthy deer legs out. He scraped the ground with his hooves and looked down to admire them. He saw how his gun had totally vanished into the bark; it was now merely an imprint in the trunk of the tree. The gun had returned to nature and David was also becoming one with the forest, becoming a part of this place. He could hear the voice upon the wind, the sound of something greater than he. It spoke to him, called out his name. The more David changed, the more he understood it, the more he wanted to hear the call of this place, of this otherworldly being. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “M-more!” David cried out, now totally consumed with bliss of his flesh, the ecstasy of his change, the desire within his bones. He closed his eyes, realising that he was no longer a man, neither in the sense of being human, nor male. He was a free spirit of the wild, a beautiful creature of nature, a doe. David couldn’t resist the lure, nor deny the want of his spirit. David closed his eyes, accepting it now, wanting it. The forest called out again, but not to him; to HER. [/i]\n\n\n[i] She opened her mouth and panted, her lips throbbing as they began to swell. Her face popped and cracked as the male shape began to fade. The pale flesh darkened, becoming a light brown, matching perfectly with the furry hide of her deerlike body. Her eyelashes lengthened, her hair flowed down her shoulders, now lengthy, voluptuous and beautiful. The once dark brown human hair had become beautiful crimson. David was becoming a beautiful redhead, a womanly doe. David’s pronounced nose popped back, shifting and changing as the rest of her facial features become more delicate, more akin to that of a lady. As she moaned, panted and gasped; she heard her deep voice shifting up in tone. Her hair flopped over her left eye as it grew longer still, now she cried out in pleasure with her new voice, the voice of a woman. She held her beautiful breasts with both hands, rubbing them, teasing them. She felt her new deer ears wiggling as they pricked up past the crimson hair, now long and lengthy. Her body shivered, she now understood. The wind, the trees, the creaking wood and flowing grass. It was a language, it called out to her, telling David her true name. [/i]\n\n\n[i] “Daniela,” she whispered in her new voice, through her full lips and heavy breath. Daniela opened her doe eyes, now entirely black and devoid of white. She cried out, overjoyed with the bliss of her epiphany and transcendence. Her spirit had ascended, her mind expanded, her thoughts and soul now tied to this place. She was complete. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Daniela panted and looked down, admiring her shapely body. From her long red hair, to her furry doe legs and dark hooves; nothing remained of her former self. She kicked her jeans away and rubbed the shirt against her breasts before pulling it off her ladylike frame and throwing it to the forest floor. Daniela sighed happily at the feeling of being free of clothing, of her old life. She flicked her long red hair, smiled happily and wiggled her tail. She was complete, happy, content. She heard the call of her goddess, the forest and something else. Another voice called out to her, and Daniela turned. She saw upon the hill another one of her kind, another spirit. Though Daniela could not see her, Daniela knew who she was. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Kicking away at the grass, she bounded over the fallen tree with incredible speed and grace, her breasts bouncing, her hair flowing in the wind. The two spirits disappeared into the forest, keepers of this realm, spirits of fertility and freedom. They heard their goddesses voice, her lure. [/i]\n\n\n[i] Nature’s call.
