[b][u][center]Infested with Youth For Rayoelgatubelo By Draconicon[/center][/u][/b] On an island in the Caribbean, not that far south of Cuba, Vicki had been starting to wonder if it was time to turn back and give up. The idea of finding anything in the ruin-laden jungles of the island had been a decent one, but there were so many people looking for relics of the past these days that she was lucky to find a cup or two that had been left behind by wannabe Indiana Jones figures, let alone anything that was all that meaningful to the archaeological community. Yet, seeing what lay before her, she was glad that she’d pushed on. If it was what she thought it was, then she had just found the discovery of the century. The kitsune lowered herself from the clifftop with her tails, using the nine different limbs as support as she worked her way down. Thankfully, she didn’t have to use her hands, able to go through her notes as she compared the surviving structures to the sketches that she’d put into her notebook. “Tall, arched pillars. Check. A descending spiral into the pool. Check. Statues of regression…” A glance around the ruined pit told her that there had been something around the fountain. There were plinths, still, where statues had rested, and some were still in evidence, though much damaged by the weather. She supposed that there were a few that looked like they had shrunk in comparison to the one further up the line. “Debateable check…” She closed the notebook, the kitsune putting it back in her pack as she hit the ground. Her boots clicked as she stepped forward, making her way to the edge of the little spiral leading further in, and knelt down. Her shorts rode up on her a little way, bunching up between her legs, but it could have been worse. She’d just have to get a diet started when she got back home. Considering what was in front of her, however, a diet was the last thing on her mind. Vicki could just make out the old lettering that came round the stone-enclosed spring down below, and translated in her head. [i]Be welcome in the waters of youth, where the pains of age are relieved by the pleasure of earlier days.[/i] “The Fountain of Youth. It has to be.” A smile split her face as she slowly worked her way down onto the spiral. It was a slow ramp, but she took it even slower, tapping her boots against the ground every step of the way, and keeping her tails at the ready in case she needed to make a quick getaway. She’d been through enough crazy temples of crazy crap to know that there were often small traps, intentional or otherwise, and she didn’t have the backup to pull her out in a helicopter the way the television shows did. She made it all the way down to the water, finding it surprisingly warm for a spring that had been left alone this long. No scum along the top, which was something; must have been something in the water that kept it from growing, perhaps? [i]If those are seeds in the bottom of the water...Well, if it is the Fountain of Youth, maybe it keeps the algae too young to actually spread?[/i] Vicki trudged through the water, stopping at the point where it would come over her boots. So far, the waterproof exterior was keeping it out, but she didn’t want to risk full exposure to it. Still, even from here, she could see a few things that interested her, from the wellspring of the fountain to another set of carvings, half-obscured by the shifting water levels. The kitsune pushed her tails against the wall, bracing herself as she walked along the sloping floor around the edge of the fountain. The display itself was surprisingly interesting, covered not in words, but images. It showed large people lowering themselves into the spring, only for something to come up and affect them. At first, she thought it was a wave symbol, or something representing the water’s current, but no. It was more like...like a serpent, or something smaller than that, a creature that merged with the person. Only then did they start shrinking. “Some sort of ritual, maybe? Or was there really a creature back then -” The ground shook, and Vicki’s tails slipped along the wet walls. Already in a precarious position, the vixen slipped, falling into the water and going below the surface. Her scream cut off in the process, only to start again as she pulled herself back to the surface. Soaking wet, she yanked herself to the far side of the spring again, throwing off her clothes as fast as she could. A khaki blouse and white bra were joined shortly after by her boots, soaked socks, her shorts, and a pair of panties. Even if the spring was bogus, there were always the chances of bacteria, and the longer she kept the clothes on, the easier a time they’d have in getting into her body. Despite the warm sun, she shivered, using her tails and some little bit of magic to push the water from her fur. It didn’t help much, considering that not only was she still damp, but she was naked in the middle of a forest and ruin she could only hope were abandoned. She crossed her arms under her ample chest, feeling her nipples squish in at the gesture, and she tried to ignore the feeling. “Okay...no shrinking, at least. So, the water isn’t going to mess with me. Maybe there really was a - gah!” She jumped at the feeling of something squirming around under her tails, and squatted down, fumbling for it with one hand while rooting through a pocket in her shirt with the other. She felt something slimy twice, but it slipped away before she could get a grip on it. Finally grabbing the mirror from her pocket, she managed to tilt it to look between her legs, and stared at the reflected image. A black, slug-like thing was wriggling around with the speed of a snake and the squishing ability of a leech. It dodged around her fingers, constantly seeming to move towards her nethers, or to her rim. If she protected one, she couldn’t cover the other. [i]You are NOT going in there,[/i] she thought, covering her pussy as it tried to slide forward. Just as ever, it turned, and pressed its head against her pucker. She fully expected it to be unable to slide in...but no. She felt a sudden burst of slime against her ass, and it pushed its head in, thick enough for her to feel the stretch but without the pain of being forced open. Vicki stared, dumbfounded, at the mirror as the creature wriggled its way in, more of the slime rubbing over her inner walls as the little slug-thing undulated upwards, stretching into her body before pulling some of the body still outside into her. She didn’t get a grip on herself until there was barely three inches of the creature left outside, more than four already in her. The vixen snarled, pulling her hand from her pussy and grabbing the little monster with clawed fingers. If nothing else, it might - “AH!” It bit her! The thing bit her inside of her ass, though the pain turned to strange, tingling pleasure only a moment later. Her fingers squeezed shakily around the bit still outside her, trying to hold back a whimper as she felt the tingle running through her body. It spread out from her ass, almost in the way that pleasure would spill out from her groin during an orgasm. It went from her head to her toes and back again. Another pulse, and she felt a sudden contraction. Not like birth, but like her entire body had been pulled tight, every muscle collapsing in on itself at the same time. She gasped for breath with lungs too compressed to expand, only for them to be fine again a moment later. [i]What…[/i] A glance down left her eyes wide. The slug-thing had been barely three inches outside of her before, but now...now there were at least five, and her hand looked slightly smaller against it, too. And… She looked back. She’d had nine tails...now she only had eight. “Oh, no…” Another tingle, another contraction, but this time she was ready for it. It hurt, but behind it there was...pleasure. Something building up as she shrank. Another tail was gone, and she was aware that she’d gone down a number of sizes in clothes and bra. Her chest didn’t ache simply from existing at its current size anymore, even though she was still more than aware of it. The creature wriggled in her hand, big enough to look like a snake sticking out of her asshole, and she barely had a grip on it. A part of her couldn’t look away from the mirror, entranced by the sight of something trying to slither into her, trying to steal away her age, power, and experience. Her pussy drooled, her juices running down over the creature and making it more and more slippery, and she shivered as - “Nnngh!” Vicki arched her back as her tails disappeared faster, two more gone, bringing her down to five. Her chest was barely a C-cup now, her head hazy. Her pussy was dripping slime to the ground, now, the thing in her ass sticking out by more than a foot, and she was sure there was more inside of her. Another bite, and she lost her grip, falling back and having to use her hands to support her. She had a perfect view in the mirror of the creature sliding inside of her, slithering, slipping its long, black, shiny body into her asshole. It slurped its way in, disappearing like a noodle into someone’s mouth, and left her slightly gaping. Another bite, and she came. Vicki arched her back, feeling herself shrink again, her chest collapsing down to B-cups, her ass and hips flattening out, her feet shrinking in length and her entire body crunching down into a thirteen-year-old’s size. The kitsune panted, feeling that she barely had two tails left, groaning as she felt the creature slithering around in her guts, somehow making her hornier and hornier. She wanted to reach down and touch herself, wanted to...to get off, but she knew it was wrong. [i]No...creature...creature does something...Gotta…[/i] She turned to the spring again, managed to crawl a step, only to be hit by the hardest bite yet. Vicki screamed, falling down as she came, squirting almost as hard as a geyser behind her and painting the walls with her juices. The creature swelled so much inside of her that she looked like she was pregnant, her last tail shrinking away and leaving her no older than seven...seven years old...naked in a jungle… With the sound of footsteps coming… [b][u][center]The End[/center][/u][/b]
