Several years later........
The witch sighed as she entered the field behind her cottage. A large hut had been constructed beside the mud pit. There was no longer a fence around the mud pit, and it had increased in size after multiple excavations. Several large pig creatures - half human, and half boar - milled about the field. Some were soaking in the mud, while others were playing in the grass. A few carried weapons - sharp spears and clubs - and eyed the witch with suspicion. She was not one of the their kind. But she was allowed to pass unharmed. On the Queen's orders, of course.
The witch sighed again, as she lifted the cloth covering the entrance and entered the filthy hut. It was warm inside, and stank of rotting garbage. A ring of pig creatures lined the tent, and she stared up at the largest one sitting opposite the entrance on a large cloth throne. The pig-men were large on average, around 6 feet tall. But this one - the Queen - dwarfed them all at a massive 10 feet tall, and easily weighing several tons. The creature was lying on its side, its immense belly resting on the cloth throne.
"Hello, Christina, " said the witch softly.
The creature tossed away the food it had been eating. To the witch it seemed like the creature never stopped eating. A bone the size of the witch's head clattered to the floor. The other pig-men began to fight over the scrap. The Queen silenced them with a loud threatening grunt.
"It's Queen. You would do well to remember to address me that way in MY court, " said Christina, waving an arm around the room.
The witch shuddered. It wasn't the first time she regretted her decision to turn Christina into this monster. It had been dangerous, and required a lot of her magic.
"I'm sorry, your highness, " said the witch, through gritted teeth.
"That's better, " said Christina, as she belched loudly. She dug through a large pile of food, and selected a nice large juicy morsel to eat. "Now that you have shown me the proper respect, what brings you here today?"
"I need some of your guard today. I have to make a trip into the forest, and I want protection, " said the witch.
"More guards? What happened to the other ones?" asked Christina. She punctuated her question with some flatulence.
The witch shrugged. "The woods are a dangerous place, and I have many enemies."
Christina looked at her slyly. "I see. Well, my services come at a cost. What can you offer me?"
"Your services? You don't do anything but sit here and eat. I need your men, " said the witch angrily.
Christina scoffed. "And where do you think those men come from?" said Christina, as she patted her massive belly.
"My God, are you pregnant again?" said the witch.
Christina rolled her eyes. "I'm always pregnant. Thanks to you. Now what are you offering?"
"Other than food and a place to stay, you mean?" said the witch angrily.
"You are already compensated for that. We protect your property, and you feed and shelter us. That was the deal. I mean, no one would dare challenge a village of boar -men. Right?" said Christina.
The pig-men guards grunted and raised their weapons threateningly.
"Now, what are you offering? Make it quick, too. I am getting bored, and you are starting to annoy me, " said Christina.
The pig-men separated themselves from the wall, and began to edge towards the witch. The pig-men were not as smart as Christina. In fact, they were actually quite dumb. But they were fiercely loyal to their Queen and could be vicious when defending her.
"What do you want?" asked the witch.
"You know what I want! " said Christina angrily. She stood up, causing the cloth throne to creak. The witch saw with some disgust a few piglets attached to her teats. "I want you to fix me! I want to be human again!"
"And as I told you, I can't do that. The magic I used was too powerful, and unstable. Changing you back would probably kill me, " said the witch. "Hell, changing you into anything would probably be impossible anymore."
Christina lay down with a smile, thankfully obscuring the piglets from the witch's view. "And that's what lead to our little arrangement here. You can't hurt me, but I can sure hurt you."
The witch grimaced. Once again, she cursed herself for using magic beyond her control. "So what do you really want?" asked the witch.
"Alright, if you can't change me back, can you at least make this a little more bearable? I am always hungry, and never full. And the more I eat, the bigger I get. And the bigger I get, the hungrier I get. It's an endless cycle of hunger, " said Christina sadly.
The witch knew it was the result of the unstable magic she used. She had wanted the progeny of Christina to be large warriors. The easiest way to get them was from a large mother. And the easiest way to make Christina large was to make her grow with every meal. But the easy way is not always the best way. She had never thought about how to stop her growth. She just assumed that Christina wouldn't mind her new life, and would be content to feed and breed. She had never imagined that her pet would be so defiant. And that her children would be so loyal.
"Okay, you have a deal, " said the witch grimly.
"Really? You can help me? " asked Christina.
"Oh, yes. Give me some of your guards to help look for the ingredients, and I will make the perfect potion for you, " said the witch. She had no idea how to cure Christina's hunger, but she did know of another potion that might solve her problem. "I promise, my potion will give you everything you deserve."
