“...a Fairy.”
Barbara shook her head. “Think I’ll have enough things to deal with adjusting to being pint-sized.” La Fay smirked at that comment but nodded as she added all the papers and notes into its separate folder before putting it away. “Will it hurt?”
“No.” The answer was short and simple as she with a few gestures began leading Barbara out of her office. But sensing it wasn’t enough the moon elf continued. “Some of the transformations are violent, it’s in their nature. Fairies are compassionate beings, at one with the natural world and the change correspondingly is usually gentle. Compatibility helps too. 92%. only a hair away from your first option. Although it’s not my place to know, may I ask why you choose that over a Succubus?”
“I... I really considered it. A great big ‘Fuck You,’” Barbara violently raised her middle finger, “to the religious bigots that that tried to raise me because I prefered dating girls. But they’re not who I want to define my live choices, besides not sure I want everything to be about sex either. And going around asking people if I can lick their pussy or suck their cock to feed just feels kinda, I dunno, rude? Even if I guess that sex is a pretty big part of nature, being its ultimate imperative and all so absolutely not planning on missing out either.”
“We have energy drinks that fulfill any need for our incubi and succubi students. I suppose, however, I see your point.” La Fay chuckled, letting her know she’d be safe here with her nonchalance. “As a fairy, your mortal needs won’t hold the same sway as before and while it typically won’t be an issue here. If you ever live in a city, it helps to keep a few potted plants around to talk too... Ah, guess you’ll have the time to figure the rest later, here we are.”
The moon elf opened the door to an old stone building that they used as their medical facility and school for the various healing arts. Both mundane and more magical kinds. Nothing of the latter seemed obvious to Barbara though as the fawn nurse forced her through routine physical, with a mundane scale, taking her blood pressure with a pressure monitor, and her measurements with a very cold measuring tape. Only when she sat naked, no point in clothes due to how much she’d shrink, with an IV connected to a bag containing a glowing verdant liquid did anything vaguely mystical appear.
“Last chance. Once I turn the valve to the IV there is no going back.”
“Turn it already.” Barbara nervously snapped at the fawn who did as instructed. She wasn’t exactly sure what she would feel once the liquid was in her system, nor was she quite convinced this was all real yet, but the teen hadn’t expected the slightly drunk fuzziness. Or how her eyes seemed to become large ovals, solid sky blue in color, and dominated the rest of her ethereal and beautiful features. Nor how her elfin ears began to poke out of the tangle of budding and flowering lilac-green vines that replaced her hair.
Barbara breathed in the sweet smelling pollen she released and hiccuped. Actually hiccuped. Glancing at the mirror it was clear that she had lost a few inches of her height. And when a second hiccup came and she saw how she shrunk further, it confirmed her suspicions. It tasted like rainbows inside her mouth. She tried to keep her height from escaping by sealing her lips shut, but it only made her sneeze instead. La Fay looked amused and the deadly glare Barbara sent her way only increased the headmaster’s mirth.
Anyone seeing this couldn’t be more painful than having horns torn out her forehead or wings coming out of–
Oh no. As soon as the thought entered her mind, four pin pricks of pressure split Barbara’s upper back as a quartet of insectile pinions unfurled scintillating and membranous butterfly wings. Each flicker of her new appendages sent out motes of glittering and magically-charged particles of dust.
She didn’t linger on how her body changed internally. But, for one, she felt much lighter when her organs and skeleton were little more than a mass of mystical energy constantly stirred by a fragrant and gentle summer breeze. It felt like she could actually fly with her wings without the aid of magic. On the outside, her height could be counted exclusively in inches. With hardly anything remaining in the bag she guessed she wouldn’t become any shorter at least. She hadn’t lost much in terms of her body’s proportions, aside from being slightly slimmer and elfin, and perhaps more leg to work with.
Barbara stretched her legs out, running her thin fingers across the perfectly silken skin as she inspected and tried out how limber they were. Very, it turned out when she effortlessly placed one behind her head. She then let them freely dangle in the air from her seat on the now immense hospital gurney. She could think of a number of uses for her newfound dexterity and size in bed, but she set those considerations aside.
Everything was immense now. Including the needle that poked out of her forearm. While she never considered herself squeamish, Barbara’s vision swam when looking at the oversized and pointy tool. Luckily, the nurse was there to remove it and place it far out of her view and Barbara could breath easily.
“Feels weird. A good weird... And hey, be gentle!” Barbara nearly shouted when La Fay reached down to cup her tiny naked body in her hands. Right, naked, it didn’t exactly bother her much somehow. She clutched one of the longer fingers, holding it for dear life, and fluttered her wings to steady herself. After a handful of harrowing seconds, she was face-to-face (technically body) with the elf. “I can fly, you know. I think. Am fairly certain.” A single finger squished the top of her head as she heard then ignored her student’s protest.
“On behalf of the faculty, I’d like to welcome you again to our school. And to your new world.”
“Okay! Okay! Take me to my room already!” Barbara snuck out from under the finger before immediately taking flight. Only to be told by she had to retake her earlier physical by the nurse.
Strangely, when the moonlight hit her body, Barbara seemed to glow and be enveloped in a sphere of soft blue light. She could suppress it, by breathing in and focusing hard, but it was too much of an effort for the short flight it took before reaching her dorms.
