For a moment, I wondered what I had done and regretted my impulsive and stupid wishes.
I had made bloodthristy dragon women looking for power. Although terrified, I had to try and undo it before they got the ring and did whatever terrible things they were likely to do.
Steph must have sensed my thoughts somehow, she pressed down hard on my chest and knocked the wind out of my lungs brutally. "Don't you-"
I wished that both Michelle and Steph would shrink and weaken and lose whatever magical abilities they had.
Almost at once, I felt Steph's hand raise from my chest, and I struggled for breath.
"No! No!" Michelle screamed, her husky voice trembling. "What did you do?!"
I scrambled off the bed, much more lithe than the two constrained dragon women, and ran for the door. I expected to be snatched up by powerful jaws or torn apart by dagger sharp claws, but as I hit the door and turned to see my fate I saw both dragons pulsating madly.
"No!" Steph shrieked, seemingly fighting against her own body. I quickly looked to Michelle and saw the same thing happening. As seconds went by realization set in and I watched in breathless stupor. They were literally fighting against their own bodies, which were trying to compress them from their great size and strength as I had asked.
Little by little, straining with their great muscles, I watched them both lose several inches and recede in ferocity just a bit. Michelle moved first, roaring, leaping at me with her razor claws extended, but the moment she changed her focus she quickly shrank down in midair, dwindling to the size of a large dog as she hit my knees and collapsed to the floor. Her claws had reduced to nubs, her body had thinned and lost all but the most needed definition, and she looked softer and less intimidating. She stared up at me in horror and shrank further at my feet, reducing to a mere three inches tall.
Squeaking, her voice now high pitched and comical, she quickly got to her feet and tried to run, but I plucked the tiny dragoness off the floor between my fingers and smiled as she tried to bite me with teeth that had literally lost their edge with her reduction.
Steph, seeing this, still quite big, strained against herself harder, and for a moment fresh fear hit me as I watched her diminished form quickly grow back to a little under what she had been when I made the wish, but the exertion looked absolutely agonizing. She was fighting a losing battle.
As the last of her abilities began to vanish, Steph let out a whimper as like Michelle she quickly and irreversibly was shrunk down to tiny size. I walked over carefully, seeing the little white dragon was cowering beneath my foot, and picked her up in my hand with the terrified and still Michelle.
"J-Joe!" Steph called, her tiny voice wracked with fear. "We're sorry... please... what are you going to do to us?"
