Ch.56

“Oh thank Din you freed me from that maddening state!” Volvagia declared happily after having had the situation explained to her now that she was a mask. We were all resting on top of Ember’s bosom as she casually carved out a side of Death Mountain so she could leave without letting go of the Scepter and us all having to take a very long walk up. The Carbon Dogs below were cheering her on, happy to finally be free of sexual slavery, and also eager to leave their home now that it’s been destroyed.

Said dogs were a mixture of males and females, but all were black stony jackals, unlike the varied species of dog the Diamond Dogs were. I wonder how well they’ll integrate.

“I just find it disturbing that the last memory you have before now was pissing off Demise.” I shuddered from my spot on Shiny/Gohma’s shoulder, the new living red dragon mask with a band of gold scales running vertically up her face and topped with a mane of literal gold-feather hair was being held by Gohma’s left hands. Volva had described that besides the lusty haze she was in, her last clear memory was threatening a big, black-furred and fire-maned Lion who had invaded her territory, and the next thing she clearly knew was being a mask.

“Indeed. It would explain why your reign of terror was so senseless and violent, and how you were so relatively easily corralled by my ancestors.” Darunia mused as he sat opposite us, with Biggoron having to sit on Ember’s shoulder, actually having a pleasant chat with the incredibly cocky and self-sure giantess.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t myself. I suppose I never will be again.” Volvagia bemoaned as she eyed Shiny/Gohma. “So you’re actually wearing someone like me right now?”

“Yep! That’s me. I’m Gohma, former queen of cycloptic arthropods, turned fairly content friend of good people.” Gohma cheerfully introduced herself and ran a hand through Volva’s hair. “Don’t worry. You’re in good hands now.”

“Clearly. I’m glad to have such kind people here, now that the mountain that gave birth to me has finally died.” Volvagia said sadly, and I blinked before gasping, looking back at the now magma and lava-free hollow mountain. When Volvagia was sealed/healed, all the magma and lava rapidly cooled instead of remaining magically superheated.

“Right...you were the Spirit of Death Mountain given form! But now, you’re contained in that mask, likely forever.” I declared with sadness. Death Mountain was finally Dead. No wonder the Carbon Dogs at Ember’s feet were so eager to help direct her where to stab and drag her powerful claws, the Bloodstone Scepter held in her tail.

“Like I told Gohma though, it’s not the end. Consider it a beginning.” Shiny said from Gohma’s lips and nuzzled Volva, making the dragon mask coo and smile softly with a faint blush.

“You didn’t say that~! You went all romantic and everything on me. Saying I didn’t have to be a mindless monster.” Gohma chuckled happily and I felt a sudden pang of dread. Are the Bosses going to become Shiny’s own harem?! Th-that’s insane! Too much! Our group is already so big and somewhat splintering into more exclusive couples that gladly intermingle!

“Finally!” Ember declared happily as the side of the mountain began tumbling inward, the Carbon Dogs cheering as she began opening the hole more, and then crawled out into the almost clear sky, the light of dusk painting everything beautiful shades of orange, yellow, and red, with hints of purple creeping in. Of course, we all had to grab onto her banded scales on her breasts to keep from falling off. “Ah~. Fresh air and a view.”

“Indeed. I had not seen the sky for many months before I was trapped, and forced to hibernate or die. Ah. Just as beautiful as I remember.” Darunia smiled wistfully as Ember began heading towards the village that was around the side of the mountain, the Carbon Dogs all eagerly following the giantess we were riding on. “But this place, it isn’t home anymore. I wonder what will become of what remains of my people.”

“Don’t worry! You and your kin are welcome in the Everfree! Even if nobody else says so, I do, and since I technically am the Everfree, whatever I say, goes.” I declared with a firm nod.

“Hope you have good rocks.” Darunia chuckled before calling out to the Carbon Dogs in a loud trilling howl. He then began making a pattern that somehow, the rest of the Carbon Dogs picked up, joining in a tribal song of bestial howls and other more guttural noises.

“Holy Din you guys are loud. Don’t spook the runts.” Ember playfully said as we rounded the mountain, the village now in sight, and dragons were both standing around and taking to the air to witness us.

“We are of the earth! We eat and drink the ways of the land! We mine to get our food and sell what is inedible or profitable.” Biggoron declared proudly with a loud crack as he slammed his fists into his chest. “This Chant of Earth is in our very bodies, our souls. None who call the Earth their home do not know it.”

“Okay, not much different from dragons then! We eat gems.” Ember chuckled.

“Hah! You dragons have such expensive taste! We eat gourmet rocks, laced with the raw geodes of unrefined gems, and our bodies naturally refine them as we digest them, taking the impurities into ourselves while producing beautiful gems.” Biggoron declared, making Ember blink and look a bit queasy.

“Wait...we eat your kind’s poop?” Ember asked as she finally neared the village and slowly began lowering herself down to her plump yet tight butt, the rest of us getting up and ready to get off of her.

“Everything is poop at some point young lady. Best you get accustomed to ignoring it.” Darunia sagely informed the new Dragon Lord before we all jumped down from Ember’s bust. I was my tiny dragon self again, so I just flew down, but the fairly long drop was nothing to my companions.

“Heheheh!” A dragon runt chuckled as what looked like a fox fairy flew about him. He then changed into a big boy after she kissed his lips.

“What? HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” I barked at the fairy. Said fox, that was actually a rainbow colorization, looked about before spotting me.

“Oh, are you a Batch Three Fairy?” She asked me, confusing all of us.

“No! I am Robin, Great Fairy of Order. Cease your-What was that?!” I shouted in a panic, Farore wordlessly patting my back, seeming to get over my refusal to breed Ember, even if Din and her did the nasty, for the first time. It seems the longer they’re synchronized with us Avatars, the more their own private realm seems to solidify. The Sacred Realm apparently isn’t a physical realm, or at least, it wasn’t before.

“What?” Asked the rainbow fox said as the dragon runt finished growing to about six feet tall and marveled at his new body. “Have any more wishes, Garble? My Mistress will be very pleased if you build a shrine because of this.”

“Garble, what are you doing?” Ember asked exasperatedly as if her new position didn’t mean she could just demand him to explain.

“Uh, this Fairy showed up...after I um, prayed to this new god I heard about near the coast.” The red dragon said sheepishly as he looked away from Ember. “The Fairy said she could grant me wishes in the name of her mistress.”

“Especially wishes related to Commerce, Fertility, or Sex~!” The fairy cheerfully declared, and I realized just who this fairy’s mistress is.

“What type of Fairy are you?” I asked, wondering why Wiatr made them.

“I’m a Batch Two Fairy Servant, designed to do my Mistress’ duties in her stead and spread her worship to allow the common folk true audience with her one day. This world is still too...rigid for her to show up without breaking people’s minds and leading to the whole universe to being nothing but sex.” The strange fairy told me as I noticed she was made out of goo.

“Well spread your religion when important public events aren’t happening. Shoo!” Ember ordered of the fairy, who wilted but flew back to Garble to sit on his shoulder.

“I can’t leave him until his four wishes are over.” The little fox whined.

“Whatever, don’t care. Now then. Everyone. I am your new Dragon Lord, and things are going to change starting with this village. As sexy as size is, it shouldn’t decide our society’s rules. Thus...” Ember took the Scepter into her hands, and with a shine of light, she rapidly shrunk down, until she was no taller than before, a petite and slim 5-foot nothing with a scepter clearly too big for her, but she held it with ease as a full-size staff anyway. “I will not tower over you.”

“Can I wish for Ember to be my mate?” I heard this Garble guy ask the ‘fairy’.

“Only if she returns the interest.” The so-called fairy replied, and Ember flushed.

“Garble, I changed your diapers. You’re like a little brother to me.” Ember replied and the male dragon sighed in defeat.

“So is age not a problem?” I asked, a devious scheme in my head.

“What? Of course not. Dragons live for thousands of years, if age was a problem, nobody would get together with anyone else. It’s more how you know a person.” Ember told me, and I began snickering. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing~!” I’m definitely not planning to have a certain purple prudish punk finally have someone distract him besides Rarity! No sir!

“Anyway, do not think that I won’t whip my full size out to pummel any idiots over the head though! But all this stupidity of the small being useless and weak, and the Kind are pathetic, needs to end!” Ember declared, then looked around. “Wait...where is my father? Where is the former Lord Torch?”

“M-my Lord? Your father...he is in bed. He has worsened.” One of the servants I remember from Torch’s hut solemnly informed her, and she suddenly rushed past, bolting into the village, and I looked to the others with worry.

“Should we follow her?” I asked, only to get shakes of the head from both Shiny and Darunia, while Gohma and Volvagia looked like they still wanted to go after. Huh, it’s getting easier to tell which actions/reactions are Shiny’s or Gohma’s. Gotta get back home so they can be apart. “Yeah...this is private for her. Hey, you. I’m gonna need some fertile soil and water. Any of that in this desolate place?” I demanded of Garble since he was the only one not following after Ember in a hurry.

“Um yeah, this way, the underground lake,” Garble said and began leading us south.

“That’s well and good, but I’ll need sunlight too.” I informed him as I flew near his head, willfully ignoring how I could feel the ‘fairy’ raking over my body with her lecherous eyes.

“The cave is open to the sky, but is only reachable through flying or a tunnel dug for the flightless runts.” Garble informed me as he led us on, my two, well, four companions following closely while the enormous entourage of Carbon Dogs trailed further back behind Darunia.

It wasn’t long before we neared a gaping hole in the ground about the size of a football field, revealing a beautiful blue lake under the surface of the ground with a tiny island roughly in the center. The lake itself was much bigger though, extending into darkness beyond the edge of the hole.

“Yeah, this will do,” I said before flying down into the cave and down over the island. “Shiny! I’m gonna need you to work that Time Magic you talked about!” I called up to him as I sized up, relaxed by turning to my gooey caribou form, which in the cool of the evening and the cave was bearable compared to when we first arrived this morning.

“Uh, okay!” Shining called back down as she pulled her lyre from her cleavage.

Assured that this wasn’t going to take a week, or forbid a month, I set my slime hooves into the coarse soil of the island, and groaned as I sank in, my roots reaching out…

I blinked. I’d managed to face the direction of the village to the north, and I could see many lights, bonfires, and other celebrations happening around the roofless cave surrounding my hips. The sky was full of beautiful stars, and Luna’s moon was especially bright tonight. “About time you woke up! I was getting worried!” Called up Shiny, back to his base male form as he relaxed on my left breast.

“How long?” I asked, hoping it hasn’t been months.

“A few hours,” Shiny informed me idly.

“W-what? Really?” I asked in shock while I watched both dragons and dogs partying together.

“Yeah. I played the Song of Double-Time, blended it with the Song of Time, and then played the Song of Half-Time when you stopped getting any bigger. You’ve been done growing for hours already, but you weren’t waking up.” Shiny explained further as he shifted around, and it wasn’t until now I noticed both Gohma and Volvagia were sleeping on my boob next to him, the two masks being kept in place by a blanket.

“Oh, at least it wasn’t even days.” I sighed before I closed my eyes and left my tree body to hover down to the Hero, nuzzling up to Shining as I laid next to him in my gooey red fairy form, then sized up to be of equal height to him. “You okay? Feeling healthy? Flustered?”

“Yeah, I’m okay.” Shining sighed. “Being a woman for so long and feeling desire for another guy was weird though. I don’t want to have to wear either Gohma or Volvagia for too long if I can avoid it, or I’ll...do something I might regret.”

“Hey, it’s fine. This world isn’t about to say you can’t be open to things.” I soothed as I pressed my snout into the crook of his neck, taking a deep whiff of his natural male scent as I relaxed. I only just now realized he was wearing my former armor again. Shame, I missed seeing how Gohma’s slightly hardened sexy earthen armor had reacted to the change.

“But that’s just it. When I’m, y’know, all me, I don’t feel attracted to male things. But as Gohma, everything she felt, I did. It was kinda like...part of me was being taken over.” Shiny admitted worriedly, and I looked over at the sleeping masks with concern.

“I don’t think she was doing it intentionally.” I softly said as I hugged my body to Shiny’s side.

“I know. That makes it a bit worse actually.” Shiny’s words had confused me, so I looked up into his eyes rather than keep my snout to his neck.

“Worse?” My question was met by him looking back into my own eyes, his brilliant blue eyes firm despite his concern.

“Because that means it’s just part of the deal. The more I use her, or other Living Masks, the more I might take on their attributes.” Shining held up his right hand, and he grunted before I suddenly felt the air get hot and then fade away. “I didn’t use my normal magic to do that.”

“Oh...that’s not a bad trade-off though in the grand scheme of things.” I tried to allay his worries, and it seemed to work as Shiny sighed and nuzzled me.

“Yeah, it isn’t. I just don’t want to get so many pieces of other people shoved into me that I become more them than myself.” Shining admitted before he properly wrapped an arm around my waist, resting his hand on my hip as I snuggled even closer. “It’s been a long day. Let’s just sleep.”

“Won’t say no to that.” I cooed, kissing his cheek before settling in.
