Mike cried out in happiness as he saw Christine and Joe come running into the stable. Brian was apparently waiting outside, his dragon form too large to come in. "I'm back here! Help!"
The two elves stopped and stared at the scene - a stableboy apparently masturbating thier freind Mike to a rather amazing release. There were thick sprays of semen all over the centaur's forlegs and belly. Christine frowned. "What the Hell is going on here, Mike?"
"This kid just gelded me with that damned brush! I can't move! Help me!" Mike strained against the saddle's control, but it seemed stronger now than before.
Surprisingly, the boy showed no fear at all. Instead, he reached up and ran the brush down Mike's back while grinning at the two newcomers. "So, this fool is a friend of yours? He asked to be a Shire gelding. Did you know he didn't have any idea what a 'gelding' was?"
Mike felt strange, his back warm and pulsing as the bristles dragged over his skin. Then he realized his point of view was getting lower. His human chest was sinking into the horse body!
Joe drew his sword. "What do you mean, he asked to be a Shire gelding? That's not true, is it, Mike?" He took a step towards the stall.
"Well, I did ask about it." Mike was confused now. "But I didn't think I meant to change me into one. Did I?" His arms were drawing in, getting thin and short as his chest narrowed into an equine neck.
Christine advanced now, pulling out her sword. "Stop what you are doing now, boy, or I will kill you."
The boy pulled away, but he was still grinning. "I'm only doing what he asked. Besides, it was too late before you two even came in. I was just helping things along." He pointed at Mike, and it was obvious the boy was telling the truth.
The former centaur now had a human head at the end of what was almost a normal horse's neck, and his face was pushing out. At the same time, his body got larger and darker, hide becoming glossy black with white feathering over enormous hooves. Mike cried out in terror, but his scream emerged as a loud whinney. He shook a massive head, working thick lips and a long jaw. Joe and Christine stared at the huge Shire gelding. Christine finally said, "Mike, are you still there?
After a moment, the magnificent animal nodded its had and pawed the ground. The boy shrugged. "He's still smart, but after a few days being a Shire gelding will be completely natural and normal for him. Not that it matters to the two of you. I think you'll be much better suited as a matched pair of mules!"
"You won't change us, boy!" Christine snarled and lunged for the kid, only to get slammed from bhind by a powerful blast of energy that left her unconcious on the floor. As Joe turned around, he got a brief glimpse of an old man in a dark cloak who had a staff pointed at him. The another blast laid him out next to Christine.
The Wizard looked back to the entrance. "We must hurry - the dragon is just outside. He will get suspicious very soon."
