From the many boxes scattered around the place, the golden markings of one makes the dim light bounce directly to your eyes, calling your attention.
You soon move to the box and find a rather large hoop, dark as night and with beautiful golden decorations. Must be authentic gold, you think. You pick it up and it's rather heavy. Feels like picking up stones.
Curious about the mysterious qualities of these hoops, you take it and move out of the alley, in direction to the exit.
All of a sudden, distracted by your examination of the ring, you fail to notice the absurd amount of rubbish on the ground, and trip with some boxes laying around, after bumping against a shelf, you close your eyes and prepare for the inevitable fall.
Or that's what you thought.
An explosive surge of energy can be felt across the room, and you feel what can only be described as an earthquake just before hitting the ground. You let out a quick yelp from the surprise, and slowly opening and squinting your eyes, you look around just to notice an odd amount of dirt and fog across the shop.
That's not by far the strangest thing, as you somehow feel like your hands are touching the ground, despite being standing straight.
The fog subsides and widening your eyes you let out a scream in actual surprise.
The hoop is stuck in your elbows, and past them, you see absolutely massive, shiny and glistening square paws. They look like a lion's, and they're each as wide as the hall you're standing, pushing aside the shelves several feet away. They have sharp, long golden claws that scratch the ground, destroying the tiles and revealing the coarse dirt underneath. Each one of your fingers has golden markings on its fur that look like rings, and several golden decorations crawling up your forearms. Your strong tendons marked heavily, pushing your massive claws out.
Not wanting to mess up the place any further, you try to push your paws into the hoop again, but they're way too heavy for your puny body to move, instead, accidentally moving your fingers forces the rest of your body to lift up a few feet in the air and fall directly into the hoop. You close your eyes in anticipation.
A loud, exploding noise can be heard, an earthquake shakes the whole building, the floor is destroyed leaving only dirt, and the shelves are thrown across the shop.
Your chest and head went through the hoop, and opening your new, cunning eyes with yellow irises, you look down. Your head is scratching against the ceiling even while laying down in your current position. Your muscular lion arms extend across the shop, and the markings and golden rings in your fur expand all the way to your back and shoulders. You now have long, raven black hair ending in golden decorations, akin to what the Egyptians used, and in front of your powerful, muscular body, a massive pair of breasts, covered in black fur and with wide, protruding golden nipples. Unknowingly to you, your face has also changed, becoming that of a beautiful dark skinned woman, with a petite nose, thick lips, and a soft oval shape, your eyes and lips have a distinct Egyptian looking makeup of golden color, and your ears became that of a lion's, sitting atop of your head and being covered in the same dark fur with golden markings.
You moan in a deep, mature, booming voice as your nipples scratch the floor, and pinching one of them with one of your claws, you grind your still human backside against the floor. You grab your massive breasts with your paws, which, despite their huge size, can barely cover the nipples, and give yourself a nice massage. You're too distracted in your self pleasuring that you don't notice what remains of your human body entering the hoop, leaving as a huge, powerful and muscular hips and legs of a lioness covered in dark fur. The changes continue as your whole body as absorbed the energy of the hoop, you grow several more feet and get even more muscular, your paws puff even more, their pads becoming extremely soft and thick, pressing them over anything feels like touching clouds. A pair of massive avian wings extrude from your back, with raven black feathers and golden markings and colored rings running across the feathers, matching your arms and fingers.
Your huge legs stretch across the other side of the room, scratching the walls and leaving huge marks with your beautiful golden claws. You moan in an ancient language lost to time as you keep squeezing your breasts and lay on your back. One of your frontal paws moves down and makes it's way between your immensely dense thighs, enormous pillars of muscle, into your new equipment.
A huge, thick and wet lioness set of genitalia, big enough to fit a whole jeep, you enter a claw and grind on it while you squeeze your breast and nipple with force. The volume and power of your moans cause the whole mall to shake. Reaching orgasm, you let out a huge roar, which sounds like an elegant, mature woman with the force of a giant lion.
Laying on the ground, you then stretch your new huge body across the shop, taking up all of its space, and grow even further, muscles becoming bulging, wingspan doubling in size, paws thickening and widening, and spine lengthening as a long cat tail with dark fur and golden rings snakes it's way out.
You sit down like a cat while your body keeps growing, tearing apart the ceiling like paper as you lick your paws instinctively. Your mind is slowly gaining thousands of years of knowledge, as the image of a giant, powerful and beautiful sphinx fills your mind. You. And you're ready to proclaim yourself as the queen, goddess, and pharaoh of this new land. A new, powerful, demanding personality merging with yours. "Nila". You say in the oldest, primordial language, "Nila is a good name".
An Egyptian pharaoh headdress materializes on your head, and so does a beautiful plate made of jewels that wraps itself in the base of your neck. You grin as you reach the end of your growth. Each one of your paws big enough to fit the entirety of the hoop shop.
You stand on all fours, and in a fierce stance, you flap your wings and let out a monstrous roar as lightnings hit your body, sandstorms gather at your feet, and rain falls around you. An example of how nature itself is merely another one of Nila's servants, your servants.
The 600 feet tall sphinx goddess lays on the leftovers of her former city, examining the Earth. Once a regular human, now Nila, the new ruler of the world.
