"And why should I do that?" Mike the centaur shouts at Queen Beth defiantly.
"Because you don't have a choice." Queen Beth answers him confidently as she uses her magic on him.
"W-what are you doing to me?" Mike asks in fear as he feels something strange happen to him.
"Making you more suitable to pulling a carriage." Queen Beth says as she watches Mike's transformation. Mike watches in horror, as his arms get shorter and shorter until they finally disappear into his human torso completely. Then the changes stop and Mike is still a centaur but now he has no arms.
"What have you done to my arms you bitch!?" Mike yells at Queen Beth.
"Oh I just got rid of them." Queen Beth answers.
"Why?" Mike asks in frustration.
"Well if you’re going to be pulling my carriage I can't have you untying yourself from the carriage harness." Queen Beth laughs. "Guard! Put a halter on this beast and take him to his new life in the stables. Tell the stable boys to only feed him hay and oats like a horse and tell them to start training him to wear a saddle."
"Right away my Queen." One of Beth's guards replies loyally as walks up to Mike. Mike tries to resist but without any arms he is unable to prevent the guard from putting the horse harness over his human head. Mike is then forcefully dragged out of the throne room by several guards and his three friends can only watch in outrage.
Once Mike was dragged out of the throne room Queen Beth turns to the other three would-be heroes who had dared to defy her. "Now which one of you should be the next to be punished?"
