Within days, Christina's guards had procured all of the ingredients she had demanded they retrieve for her. The guards were a brutally efficient, well oiled unit and the witch had to admit she had been impressed with the speed they had been able to track down even the more obscure items on her list. They were more intelligent than she had given them credit and would be a huge asset - if only she could wrestle control of them from her supposed pet.
Under the witch's instructions and against her better judgement, Christina had ordered the guards away for the night. The witch had insisted their presence could disrupt the ritual and the success of the spell and Christina wasn't willing to risk that.
"Here it is" the witch smiled sympathetically, pouring some green liquid into the trough "Now drink up"
After sniffing the strange smelling potion suspiciously for a few moments Christina did as she was told.
"Hmm, yes I do feel a little different" Christina admitted "a little less Oink! hungry and Oink! Snort! what the?.."
Christina looked at her hands which had now turned into pigs trotters as she fell onto all fours and began to shrink. The witch laughed as she saw the balance of power restored to how it was always supposed to be. Before long the so called queen, who had long since provided the army she had been created to spawn, was no more than a very ordinary looking sow snorting and oinking helplessly at the witches betrayal of her.
"Hmm, much better" the witch laughed to herself.
