Circe smiled as she stepped onto the veranda of the rotting old mansion. The transformation of Eric had intrigued her a great deal. The change into a half man half lion form was something new to her. She had to admit to herself as of late the purely bestial transmutation of men had been getting slightly boring, though not by much. Perhaps a change was in order. Pun intend of course. Experimenting with these anthropomorphic animal forms could be very intriguing. Perhaps a change was just what she needed in her life.
Circe smiled demurely yes this could be very fun. A new world to explore, or more appropriately a new time frame. She could investigate this world and find new 'victims' and new forms. Already her magic was surging across the world exploring it. That was why she had been so weakened when she had tried to change Eric and the fortuitous botched spell had occurred. Her magicks were busy finding out more about this world's politics, structure, and knowledge. She was delighted by what she had discovered all this mass travel gave her easy access to the world and the world such easy access to her. With some manipulation and a few well placed uses of her charms she could easily have a constant influx of men and with this current population explosion and ecological disaster some would even hail her as a savior, before she changed them of course.
Yes this would do very nicely. Of course the mansion would have to be redone. The entire structure was very unbefitting for one of her stature and power after all. Her maids did the bets they could but she new it could better. With her magic she could instantly reconstruct it but why waste the energy when she could save so much trouble by making a work force of animal men. Yes that would do very nicely the more she considered the options Eric had opened up to her the more she liked them. Oh her maidens were very useful in their own way still they couldn't do everything but these bestial men could fill the gap very well. They could be very useful and she could always change them all the way when the work was done. Or leave them this way as her personal work army and guards.
After all the technology of this era entailed that she needed good guards if she didn't want to waste her energy and time fending off attacks and these animal men with the intellect of humans and super human physical acuity could fill the gap there as well. Not to mention the other pleasures they could fulfill.
Of course the first thing to do in this plan was to get a few men and change them. Which wouldn't be too difficult except this house was not in a good position for such things and she hated the idea of traveling out by herself or even with her maids without guards yet and she had not cemented her power. Magical forces could intervene and stop her before she cemented her toe hold or even witch hunters who Circe had noted had created their own societies and were ever watchful for abusive magic. Of course she had to keep a low profile and going out and finding men to change was not low profile at the moment. She would have to wait for hapless passersby and curious wanderers.
Circe disdainfully looked over the rotted rail of the veranda at the road. This would take time but then she was a very powerful woman and time was on her side. Meanwhile she could mystically strengthen her hold here. Or play with Eric's form a little bit more perhaps giving him greater endowments of musculature and other things. Circe had a thought: What if she made her guards contagious in some manner. Oh that would be delightful but she would have to think of some way that would be entertaining beyond mere touch. Considering the prudish society she was in perhaps she could make it sexually transmitted. Eric's now much larger black cock could do very well with such a job with the right magickal manipulation. Now was the time so many options open to her and nothing containing her she could have a great deal of fun.
