Now what Madame hadn't told Nate was that turning into a
dragon is a rather painful experience.He would have suffered
less pain if he'd simply asked to be turned into a werewolf.
She also hadn't told him that the cocoon was sound proof
whatever sounds Nate made in there couldn't be heard by the
audience.
It was a matter of "Be careful what you wish for because you might get it"
And Nate,who was getting bigger in that cocoon
soon "got it" when he helt the bones in his hands start to
snap crackle and reshape as they became not merely bigger
human hands but twisting digits that were fusing and reshaping.
Suddenly Nate screamed in pain as his thumbs forcibly
began rotating back,stretching skin and muscle .His nerves
were all alive and well and telling him his hands were trying to tear themselves apart as forces pulled his hands into a
more birdline set of clawed digits.
He screamed even louder,a sound no one else heard as the same
forces stretched out his hind feet and forced them into the
powerful gripping clawed digits of a dragon.His large toes stretched
out and ripped flesh as they rotated to back of his foot.
It was at that point Nate realized he wasn't coming out of this human in mind but the forces tearing away his humanity
cared less.
The cocoon was actually getting bigger faster then Nate
was so in a desperate attempt to stop the transformation
Nate slashed at the cocoon wall with a wickedly sharp dragons
forepaw but it was magic and could not be cut
even by the dragon he was turning into.
His facebones cracked sickly as his face pushed out,his human teeth fell out of his gums and dissolved on the floor of the cocoon as new sharp dragons teeth pushing their way into place pushed his jaws even further away from eyes that now had swelled to the size of softballs and those forgotten glasses of his ,much further down his flattened scaly snout
finally burst apart as that snout began sporting horns.
As his wings tore out of a thickening hide on his back
Nates ribs cracked as they deepened and grew larger to contain a huge human heart and lungs that beat like a jackhammer
to pump altering blackening blood into a expanding circulatory
system.
The Madame had been wise to true extent of Nates transformation into a dragon away from her audiences
eyes.
Nate didn't know it at the time but he was transforming into a
firedrake
a hermaphrodite of a dragon easily the size of three fully grown
elephants.
Nate learned all about the word 'hermaphrodite' as something
in his belly blossomed into life,a new heat,a new emptiness that
needed to be filled with 'anothers' seed.Even though he was
mightily screaming a deeper scream now he still knew
what the new reproductive dragon organs were
ovaries,hemipenes,a birth canal
What Nate didn't know of course was that Madame had long
ago entered the tf show and the audience had left..The still growing
cocoon and the thing inside it were all alone in a darkened
circus tent,at the center of the animal ring where a fully transformed Nate
was meant to be the star attraction for tomorrows shows.
Nate screamed as hir hind legs lengthened and hir hind
muscles swelled to a proper powerful piledrivers of a
firedrake the weight of three elephants.
Then came the throbbing in hir mind as hir mind split up into
three parts.Nate was turning into a three headed firedrake and sie felt it hard to hand onto hir human thoughts as three more powerful dragonish minds blossomed into existence.Through
three pairs of eyes sie gazed apon her three snouty faces,wickedly long snouts,glowing slitted eyes that had swelled to the size of
dinnerplate sized eyeballa and flattened crocodilian foreheads that
contained the animal intelligence sie was struggling to overcome
with hir fading human feelings and memories.
Finally it was done and in a huge cocoon a three headed firedrake the size of three elephants stood on all fours ,hir wings still pressed wetly to hir sides.
There was a brief pause as the firedrake considered hir next move.Then hir firebox innards
ignited and Nate roared as hir three throats spewed forth geyers
of fire.
Then sie pounded angrily at the cocoon with her three pairs
of wicked horns and the cocoon
split into two halfs
freeing hir from hir captivity
