I (Hunter) arrived with my family at the Barbarious welcome center. My parents told me we would have to be
transformed into Barbarians so we could live here. They told me I shouldn't be afraid but I was actually
excited. I couldn't wait to be a barbarian, but my brother Alex whose kind of dorky was being a big baby
about the whole thing. Some large men separated us, they escorted my mom and dad to one room and took me and
Alex to another. The door closed and we were locked in, there were two bins on the wall, a loud speaker and
no windows. Just lots of white. The speaker fired up and made an awful noise.
"Transformation selected. Sub-type, barbarian. Transformation duration, permanent. Thank you for choosing
Barbarious, your change will begin momentarily. Please remove all articles of clothing and place them in the
first pin. All items from your previous life must be discarded." The speaker repeated the last few lines a
few times.
"Hunter I'm scared, I don't know if I want to be a barbarian."
"Too bad Alex mom and dad said we have to, now do what the speaker said."
"But I don't want to!"
"Just do it!"
Alex looked sad and defeated, he removed his clothing and stuck them in the first bin. I did the same. Even
though I was only two years older than him I looked older. Alex was very small and pale and kind of nerdy. I
was a lot bigger, a little more tan and already growing some hair. The first pin closed and our clothes
disappeared, gone for good. The speaker cried out "transformation proceeding!" Mirrors rose up from the
floor and a gas started to enter the room. I coughed a bit and so did Alex. I watched as his hair grew out.
It was just a small, greasy crew cut but his hair was curling, growing thick and untamed and falling down past
his shoulders. It was so weird watching my dorky little brother put on a ton of muscle for a kid and knowing
the same was happening to me. I could feel myself get dumber but I didn't care, I looked good! I started
flexing my big arms in the mirror and noticed my hair had grown down past my shoulders too and my body hair
was a lot thicker, more like a much older teen. I was already growing some on my stomach and my penis was
bigger and surrounded by some. My brother's was almost as big as mine and he was starting to get hair. I
watched his face get a little more square, losing its nerdiness and intelligence. His eyes were blank and
wild like mine must be by now. We grew a bit taller and wider as our muscles kept growing. My hands looked
meatier and hardened and my face looked a bit more primitive and wild.
"Transformation complete, please retrieve your new apparel from the second bin and put it on." We jumped at
the strange sound that came from no where. We found the bin and happily put on the new clothes, shorts and
sandals. They fit and felt great, showing off our new bodies. The door opened as soon as we were dressed as
if magic and outside we saw two older barbarians, a man and a woman,who we recognized instantly as our mom and
dad. We ran up to them and hugged them, we were going to love living here!
