Following up from Blessings Betrayed (Read here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60630337/ ), Mercy and Kiriko set out to return back to Mercy's old lab in hopes of curing themselves of this plight.

Posted using PostyBirb", "writing": "“So what’s our plan now?” Kiriko, the fox, rolled her eyes, “I mean, you’re the genius here.” \n\n\nI raised one of my hooves unconsciously, trying to rub between my eyes, but my entire body trembled as I immediately grounded myself. Right. Not a woman now, just a unicorn within my newly moved office. \n\n\nCrazy to think that I had changed into this form. I mean, how was this biologically possible, but alas, staring down on my bulky body, the facts were laid clear and loud. Was fur always this thick and warm? \n\n\nMy eyes now shifted towards the culprit - a feral fox with green hair on her head. A former young Overwatch Agent who had mysteriously disappeared from her role months ago suddenly reappeared as a fox before my eyes. Of course, I didn’t believe her, but after she typed out all of my questions using her little phone, well, she convinced me otherwise.\n\n\nAnd so I extracted some of her blood, tried to reverse engineer this, only for her to sneak her way into my cunt and change me into a unicorn like so. Even I couldn’t deny that the cause was supernatural - something that science had never stumbled upon. \n\n\nKiriko yawned as she swished her tail. Her scent infiltrated my larger nostrils. Gah, it started to distract me from my thoughts. Alright, focus, Mercy. How should I escape from here? Was there even a need to escape here? Shou-\n\n\n“Kiriko, stop playing around with my leg!” I said sternly, watching the fox curled up beside my leg. \n\n\nShe glanced at the door, “I don’t get what’s so hard about escaping. I mean, I snuck in here just fine.” \n\n\nI blinked at her, “You do realize I need to escape with you to cure both of us, right?” \n\n\n“Oh yeah…” \n\n\nAn awkward silence filled the room. Seriously, did she turn off her brain once she became a fox? Not to mention, all of the scents, even those coming from outside, were distracting me. Caffeine, Jim’s flower perfume, Bradley’s odour, the stench of the shipment outside… Ewww. My expression soured. Alright, this nose was too sensitive for my own good. \n\n\n“Right, now that we’re on the topic,” Kiriko broke the silence, now looking at my legs, “I suppose I need to teach you how to…” \n\n\n“How to do what?” \n\n\n“Walk on fours.” \n\n\nPfft. Who did she take me for? I could walk on twos as a human; walking on fours was going to be a cake walk. Kirko leaped onto the table before shooting me a concerned look, “You’re thinking it was going to be easy, didn’t you?” \n\n\n“I mean, we all crawled before as infants, didn’t we?” \n\n\nShe lifted her head, snickering a little. What was she laughing at? “Go on then, just circle around me.” \n\n\n“Err, sure. Just need to lift up my right hoov-” My whole body trembled once again, now leaning against my hind legs. It’s fine. It’s fine. I just needed to step forwa-shit why was everything shaking around me? \n\n\nMy tail froze. It wasn’t just me - my whole body was much, much heavier than before. Close to three times as heavy as my original weight, I dare say. Jerking back, I choked a little on my spit, my breaths baited. \n\n\nKiriko hopped down, “See this is what I mean,” Her face now wearing a smug smirk like a badge of honor, “Walking on fours needs your whole body to be coordinated, else you’ll fall.” \n\n\nI clenched my fists. Only to realize that my fingers were gone, replaced with a clunky, hard hoof; I let out a groan before just defaulting to a stomp. Alright, the mere wonder in me was fading out. \n\n\nOh, is our dear doctor not happy with the changes? \n\n\nImmediately, I turned my head. Who was that? Where were those voices coming from? Goosebumps popped from my fur. While the words were clear, the voice sounded almost abnormal - eldritch-like even. \n\n\nKiriko stomped angrily on the floor. Her expression soured, looking back inwards at herself. Huh, what could erase that smirk of hers that quickly? She glanced back at me, “Wait… Mercy, why are you trembling so much all of a sudden?” \n\n\nWhat was this animal instinct? Even my tail froze up after hearing that voice, but surely Kiriko would understand this, “Yeah, I don’t know. I heard some strange voices in my head. Something about me not being happy with the changes.” \n\n\nExcellent. Guess you can hear us just fine. \n\n\nKiriko hung her head low, “Yeah, so those are the spirits that changed us.” \n\n\nWe prefer the term blessed. After all, what wonderful bodies you girls have right now. Better than that lousy husk of a human body, you know? \n\n\n“Wait, Kiriko, how did this even start?” \n\n\nThe fox glanced backwards, refusing to look me in the eye. Her swishing tail slowed down massively, leaving her with a little soft shake ever so often. With her back facing me, she choked out, “Well… It’s a little… long story. Basically, the gang running my city attacked my apartment, and I was outmatched and couldn’t save one of the residents there. After a bit of back and forth between my mum and me… I decided to quit.” \n\n\nYou have all of our blessings and charms, and you decide to turn your back on the city? Pathetic. And so we decide to curse you into this form, allowing you to experience life as the true fox maiden. \n\n\nMy eyes watered up. Didn’t realize that Kiriko was forced into becoming an Overwatch agent, and certainly not in this manner. I didn’t know what to say to her. Especially when she was being held hostage by these spirits. \n\n\nAnd you, my dear doctor, were caught within the crossfire. That’s all. If you had not helped Kiriko, we would never have crossed paths, and you’d still be a human. A fine doctor helping others. \n\n\n“And how was I supposed to know this?” \n\n\nYou weren’t. Kiriko should’ve known better. \n\n\nHer ears drooped, “...I’m so sorry. I really shouldn’t have come here…”\n\n\nImagination went wild in my mind, envisioning my human self hugging the poor fox within my lap as I stroked against her fur. Instead, I was this blocky unicorn that couldn’t take a single step forward. I sighed, “It’s fine, Kiriko. Why don’t you just help me learn how to walk again?” \n\n\n“No, it’s not. Just look at yourself, Mercy!” \n\n\n“Kiriko…” I stumbled on my words a little. Why was she hitting me in the gut now? “It’s fine. Once we get to the lab, I’ll figure something out and cure both of us, alright?” I lied a little, “For now, could I have my partner teach me how to walk?” \n\n\nShe turned around. Her eyes and ears lit up as the sullen look morphed into a shit-eating grin, “Well, if you put it that way,” Swiftly, she nudged against my hind legs, “It’s basically riding a bicycle, once you get going, you cannot stop.” \n\n\n“Bu-” \n\n\n“Just watch me walk here, alright?” She leaped to the table, slowing down her steps, “Take the forelimb and just step it forward and lean forward.” My eyes followed her tracks, blushing when I saw her breasts jerk forward, “Eyes on me, Mercy. Don’t you want to walk?” \n\n\nI swallowed my spit, “Right, yeah. So I just-” Lifting up my hoof, the same tremors rushed down my body, threatening to lose my own balance. This damn body was akin to carrying stacks of bricks down the stairs. Alright. Deep breaths. All I need is to take one step at a time. Just one step. \n\n\nTime slowed down. All of my senses were terrorizing my mind, from my sight to my smell, each one of them wanted to go back to my original position. I shook my head, looking down at the ground. Was it always this scary to take the first step? \n\n\n“Boo,” Kiriko suddenly whispered into my twitching ears. I screamed before landing my hoof onto the ground and glaring at the fox, “Why don’t you look at that? You took your first step.” \n\n\nMy eyes widened. Right. I actually took my first step with her little distraction. But with my hoof so far up, my body stretched out in awkward proportions. On instinct, my other hoof raised up, simulating the same tremors that rushed down my body. \n\n\nThis time, however, it was easier for my other hoof to land parallel to my initial one. Then my hind hoof followed along with the last one, also catching up. With the momentum of my body pushing me, I felt compelled to continue walking forward and just circle around her. \n\n\nKiriko’s eyes lit up. “So how does it feel to walk?” \n\n\n“Weird. Like my hands are on the floor and I constantly have to move them forward,” I glanced back at her, “But strangely, I don’t dislike it?” \n\n\nThat’s because of our blessing, Mercy. After all, all life began walking o-.\n\n\n“Just increase the pace of your steps, and soon you’ll be galloping,” Her eyes darted towards the door, “And I think we’re gonna need it.” \n\n\n“Wait, wait,” I paced around the table, walking towards my computer. Raising one of my hoofs, I wanted to type something in there, only to realize that I had a clunky hoof instead of my fingers. Irritation crept behind my thoughts, “Kiriko, help me search up some things, your paws can type here, right?” \n\n\n“On it.” \n\n\nSoon after, I formulated a plan. We get onto the nearby port and onto one of the ships designated to go back to Overwatch HQ. Most of the ships are automated (by yours truly) and so using our faster and more agile bodies, we should be able to hop onto them with no problem. A quick 15-minute breakaway from everyone here. \n\n\nKiriko hopped onto my back, “Are you sure you’re fine like this?” \n\n\n“Like what?” \n\n\n“Me being on your back.” \n\n\n“Kiriko, it's fine. It's faster for us anyways. Besides, I’m probably faster than you.” \n\n\nShe sighed while clutching her paws against my white fur, “Alright, let’s go then.” \n\n\nAs if on cue, instincts took over from me. The other employees wore shocked expressions while I crossed past them. The environment itself was making me claustrophobic, pumping adrenaline within my blood, propelling me even faster. \n\n\nDidn’t get better on the streets. Eyes turned to face us while I took to the short cuts within the alleyways. Loud sounds and bright lights momentarily stunned me with Kiriko petting against my back to catch my attention. Why was everything so much louder and vibrant now? \n\n\nCould hear every whisper or conversation happening within the vicinity, most of which were about us. Phones were raised. Pictures were taken. Of a fox riding a horse towards the exit. Some of them called animal protective services with cars and motorbikes occasionally stopping their tracks to see us. \n\n\nYet I kept on rushing onwards. Sprinting faster than I ever did in my life. Heartbeats thumped against my larger chest. Never in my life had I felt this liberated and stuck before. With another turn to the left, we finally made it out of the city where the roads were now smaller and grass now sprouting out. \n\n\nI finally took a breath, looking back at the city, “Kiriko, how much time do we have left?” \n\n\n“Ughhh,” The fox leapt down and clung against one of the fences. Her orange fur was paler than before, “So-so…sorry Mercy. L…let me rest here for… a… sec…” There, she laid on the grass, slowing breathing in. \n\n\nI sheepishly chuckled. Too fast for her, huh? Glancing forward, the port glimmered with hope for us. Alright, just a bit more and we’ll be there. Just as I was about to take the next step, my stomach rumbled. \n\n\nRight, it was lunch time. My gaze shifted towards the grass. No, I was still human, I wasn’t going to eat this. Not today. \n\n\n“You should probably eat that grass, Mercy,” Kiriko suddenly said, “After all, you’re hungry now.” \n\n\n“But… but I’m human.” \n\n\n“Not in that body, you’re not,” She got back on all fours, circling in front of me, “Chill, it's just grass. At least you aren’t eating pet food.” \n\n\nI gulped. That grass did look tasty. The fragrance and that bright green shade… Just one bite wouldn’t hurt anyone. Leaning forward, I stretched my tongue out and with the scent thickening with how close I was, I took a bite. \n\n\nMy expression soured. Grass was still as bitter as I remembered it. Yet swallowing it down, my body just continued to seek for more. And before I knew it, I had eaten the whole patch of grass. Flushing red now, I set my eyes towards the port and galloped towards it. \n\n\nKiriko kept pace with me with a little grin, “So how’s the grass?” \n\n\n“Disgusting.” \n\n\n“But your little tail was wagging so much with each bite, it almost made me want to eat it.” \n\n\n“Haha, very funny,” I rolled my eyes before increasing the pace. A thought sunk into my mind. Grass was now my diet. The main source of food that I could eat was a bitter patch of grass found anywhere there. No more meat. No more salad. Just regular bitter grass. \n\n\nMaybe, I shouldn’t have helped h-no, that’s a terrible thought to have. She was suffering so much, how could I ignore her pleas? \n\n\nFinally reaching the port, Kiriko sniffed the air, “No people here. Think we’re safe to board.” \n\n\nI nodded. We snuck between the many robots carrying cargo and jumped onto one of the ships with the Overwatch Logo stamped. My legs gave way and just fell flat onto the ground with Kiriko curling into a ball, “How long is this trip going to take?” \n\n\n“A couple hours?” \n\n\n“Ok, I’m going to sleep now,” She said, closing her eyes. Wait, was she seriously sleeping on the ship? But… it wasn’t like there’s anything else to do. Resting against the wall, I watched the ship depart the port. \n\n\nDidn’t take long for sleep to creep up on me. Endless water with relatively calm waves created a lullaby effect on me where my eyelids grew heavier and heavier. And before I knew it, I had dozed off. \n\n\n“Merc-” A soft whisper hissed into my ear. \n\n\n“No…Not now… 5 more… minutes…” \n\n\n“Mercy,” \n\n\n“5…5… more minutes… I pr…promise you.” \n\n\nA sudden kick to my belly was enough to jolt my awake. My eyes glared at the culprit who was peering up at me. Her eyebrows furrowed a little, “There’s… someone on the ship with us,” She whispered. \n\n\n“How’s that possible?”\n\n\n“Apparently the ship passed by some counters and someone boarded onto it,” She lifted her paw, pointing behind me. I peered back to see Freja wounded on the ground, covering up her wounds on her stomach. She winced in pain, closing her eyes, “You know her?” \n\n\nI nodded, “Yeah, she’s one of the overwatch agents.” \n\n\nKiriko sighed in relief, “Alright then, thought she was someone dangerous.” \n\n\nImmediately, I took a step forward before Kiriko stopped me, “What are you doing?” \n\n\n“Are you crazy?” She raised her voice, “What do you think you’re going to do there? Heal her?” \n\n\n“Yeah?” \n\n\n“Yeah?” She mimicked my tone, “We’re on a cargo ship to headquarters as two animals. What do you think she’ll do when she sees us?” Kirko pointed to the sea, “We’re probably going to be deported back or worse.” \n\n\nOnce again, I wanted to clench my fists but yes, I was reminded that I didn’t have any fingers. My frustration came in stomps against the ship with Kiriko quickly stopping me. How could I not help her when she’s in so much pain? Even my instincts were urging me to use my horn and treat her wound. \n\n\nMy horn glowed yellow out while Kiriko sighed, “Mercy just listen to me, we can’t take the risk now.” \n\n\n“So you would rather take the risk she dies than to endanger our li-” \n\n\nKiriko peeked at her once again, “It doesn’t seem that bad… I had worse before and well I healed back up.” \nThat is because of us, young fox. We blessed you with enhanced regeneration and so even the most lethal of wounds would heal back. \n\n\nShe clicked against her tongue, now circling, “Fine, you can heal her but could you do this in secret?” \n\n\n“Secret?” \n\n\n“I don’t know like heal her when she’s unconscious or something. What do you think she’ll do when she sees a horse and fox tryna treat her wound? She would probably scream and panic.” \n\n\nLooking back at Freja, she was still pressing against her wound, wincing in slight pain. Kiriko had a point. Wouldn’t be wise to cause distress to her. Although she had been wincing in the background, her bleeding had finally stopped. Hence, I suppose we could wait till she’s unconscious before treating her. \n\n\n“Fine,” I redirected my voice towards the spirits and hissed out, “What about you? Are you going to interfere with this?” \n\n\nInterfere? \n\n\n“I mean your stupid blessings.” \n\n\nSilence was their response. Even Kiriko who tried to taunt them received no reply. Great. I snorted out before resting on the boat again. Wait. Did I just snort out like a damn horse? Snowy white fur turned red on my cheeks, warming me up. Ughhh. \n\n\nKiriko nudged against my chest, “Are you still going to take the risk?” \n\n\n“Well… I mean…” I hesitated, “Why would they stop me from helping?” \n\n\n“I don’t know. You think I know what their deal was?” \n\n\nI peered upwards, “I mean if we trace back the events, you’ve been cursed because you didn’t try and save your community right? So ultimately, the spirits wanted you to continue good deeds with your powers.” \n\n\n“Right…” \n\n\n“And so am I not helping my community by helping Freja?” \n\n\n“But what happens if she turns…” \n\n\nI giggled, “Then I’ll just fix everyone up in my lab,” My ears twitched, hearing her breathing slowing down, “Ah she’s probably asleep now. Let me do my magic.” \n\n\nGetting up, I winked back at Kiriko who held a hesitant expression. Honestly, I still didn’t understand how all of this worked. Spirits changing people into animals in the guise of blessings was something that came from a fantasy novel. Like those Children’s folk tales that served to scare little children into doing work. \n\n\nYet following what Kiriko said, these spirits shouldn’t curse Freja like they did with me. They were benevolent spirits that wanted others to bring good to the world - even in their weird twisted ways. \n\n\nTaking the step forward, Freja was now resting by the ship’s wall. Her breathing finally stabilized. She still made the occasional groans of pain but otherwise she was unconsciously sleeping. Oh my, what could’ve possibly taken down one of our strongest agents? \n\n\nI nudged her crossbow to the side, making way for me to bend over. I didn't know how all of this worked but I could feel it in my horn. Energy that built up within its tip. Glancing behind, I found Kiriko peeking from behind, still carrying that worried expression. \n\n\nMuttering under my breath, I asked, “So spirits, are you going to mess this up and potentially kill an innocent person?” \n\n\nUs? Kill? Mercy, we have extended our hand and shared with you our blessings. One that people would kill to have - to heal all wounds in mere seconds instead of months. And you dare question us? \n\n\n“So what about me? Why did you have to,” I slowed down my voice, mocking their tone, “ ‘share your blessings’ with me?” \n\n\nFor you were disrupting our punishment. Punishment for that little vixen in the corner. \n\n\nSnorting out, I glanced down at the injured Freja. Their argument seemed fair enough. With the cold breeze brushing against my thick fur - surprisingly having no reaction towards it - I steeled my resolve and leaned forward. \n\n\nWarmth gathered around the horn, glowing even brighter than before. In its golden hue, it was akin to the sun shining its rays down upon me, a mesmerizing scene. And so I tapped against her wound. I prayed that this would go smoothly. \n\n\nFreja’s breathing now slowed down more. Her grunts of pain stopped as her expression relaxed. There, I bit against her clothes and pulled them a little to the side, just to see how her wound was doing. Bullets that had shot through her were now getting pulled out on its own, almost getting rejected from the body itself. \n\n\nHer skin regained its natural hue. Skin reemerging and joining up together to form a seamless body. I let out a sigh of relief as my body relaxed. Hell, even my tail joined in to wag. Always proud to see a patient healing. \n\n\nSlowly, Kiriko snuck behind me before asking, “Oh wow, it actually worked?” \n\n\n“Yeah… guess the spirits weren’t so evil to curse her after all,” I turned around, glancing by the corner that we rested by, “Well, let’s head back bef-”\n\n\n“Err Mercy, is her skin supposed to be brown?” \n\n\n“Brown?” Immediately, I faced Freja with all the color on my face fading into white. I slammed against the floor, once again reminding myself how my fingers were now useless stubby hooves. What the hell was I looking at? Why was she growing fur? The voices promptly echoed on cue. \n\n\nSee we kept to our promise. We did heal her up like you asked for. We just added a little extra blessing in the mix. \n\n\n“Why the hell did you do that?” My voice crept up in volume. Just enough for her to not wake up, “She did nothing wrong, you jackasses!” \n\n\nWe agree. She was completely innocent. It was just that well, we wouldn’t want our Unicorn here to misuse her powers, do we now? \n\n\nI glared down at the fur sprouting around her wound. Not this shit again. What sort of animal was she becoming now? Kiriko was also panicking a little, chiming in, “What’s wrong with that? Didn’t all of you grant her this blessing? Why couldn’t she use i-” \n\n\nSilence. \n\n\nThat one word shook both of us to the core till we froze up. Even just moving felt impossible under their watch like their presence was weighing down on us, watching us from beyond. \n\n\nYou two think that you are in a position to argue with us? Like we mentioned, we would heal her up and that is what we did. But now you’re getting angry that we gave her our blessings? Who are you to demand that? A fellow spirit? \n\n\nNo! You two are but followers for us. Followers for us to exert our influence onto the real world. Any sort of healing, any sort of help that you seek or any demands that you have are all subjected to us. And we will bless foolish mortals such as yourselves to become animals. Whether you like it or not. \n\n\nThat is how we started. That is how you’ll continue our traditions. \n\n\nThe immense pressure that accompanied their words vanished with silence filling their place. Rage filled my veins. Animals as blessings? What nonsense was this? Their sick minds couldn’t even fathom that not everyone wants to be an animal on all fours and yet they choose to twist our bodies to their pleasure? \n\n\nI couldn’t even bite down my lips with my upper teeth aligning perfectly against my lower ones. This was an actual prison for me and now they wanted to extend this ‘courtesy’ towards Freja? Kiriko suddenly nudged against my hoof, now with a quivering muzzle, “What do we do now, Mercy?” \n\n\nTurning my attention towards Freja, I let out a sigh. What else was there to do other than to watch her change into one of us. A powerless animal… \n\n\nHer body stiffened up as she shifted her body to the front. Still unconscious, she moved around her arms and legs out, completely unaware that she was changing. Her bloody clothes began to rip. \n\n\nI wanted to look away. Avert my eyes away from my sin. Changing her into a horse, unknowingly, gnawed against my conscience. But I couldn’t. This was my fault and even if it meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, I had to atone in these small little ways. \n\n\nBut what was I supposed to do there? Let her die from her wounds? See one of my colleagues perish in the line of work? I became a doctor to help people. To heal them and let them return back to society. And now with magical powers to heal people, I now couldn’t use them to help others? Not at the cost of their humanity that was. \n\n\nTears brimmed around my eyelids. \n\n\nI… I just… wanted to help her. Was that too much to ask for? \n\n\nLying on her back now, she let out a couple grunts. Muscles soon swelled up around her chest. Growing thicker, her shirt burst out, revealing how far fur had spread across her body - festering mostly around her growing gut. Maybe it was better that she didn’t know about this now. She wasn’t the type to enjoy it in the first place. \n\n\nHer ginger hair darkened into a chestnut brown shade. Much like her fur. Kiriko still held the same worried look, darting back between me and Freja. Bet she blamed herself for starting this chain as her tail came to a halt. \n\n\nWhat’s the problem with you two? Aren’t you glad you are getting a new friend? \n\n\n“Friend? As an animal like us? You’re fucking sick in the head to think we’ll be happy!” I shouted, stomping against the ground. \n\n\nOh that reminds me! \n\n\nHer joints cracked, causing her limbs to be locked in a weird angle. Perpendicular towards the ground. That just ruled out anything bipedal - not like these spirits were ever interested in that in the first place. \n\n\nInstead of growing larger, her breasts sunk into her chest, flattening out while she shook her head. Each shake only accelerated the changes, stretching her neck further. Fur sprouted in the corners of her neck. Wait, was that? \n\n\nIndeed, Mercy! Since you used magic on her, she’ll be the same species as you! Isn’t that nice? \n\n\nI glanced down at my body. Clumsy useless hooves only useful for walking, a big clunky body that couldn’t fit in any room, instincts to chew disgusting grass as food and walking on all fours with no possibility of walking on two legs. She was becoming like me? My heart ached even harder. \n\n\nAt least Kiriko could try and use her paws for daily life. Winston better turn us back because I wouldn’t fathom living my life as a mare… \n\n\nGoing back to her changes, her frame doubled in size. As her height increased by a couple of inches, her mouth opened to reveal sharper teeth flattening in an instant. Her skull shape also morphed drastically, giving little curves while pushing her mouth out, elongating it longer and longer till it was a full maw like mine. \n\n\nHer ears sharpened, shifting upwards, followed up by her nose encapsulating her new maw out. While her nostrils flared out, I could immediately tell her scent was morphing. From the human scents, it now resembled mine being emitted around the air. \n\n\nA gust of wind brushed against her fur. In response, her belly swelled larger. The fur surrounding it soon thickened and grew brighter. She returned to her original position with her expression souring out. \n\n\nHer larger body now rocked back and forth, trying to find a perfect spot to rest. And yet, that never happened. \n\n\nThe boat suddenly rocked to the right, startling the two of us. Kiriko tumbled onto the ground, still with the same look of pity, I instead maintained my balance with my hooves neatly heeling into the ground. \n\n\nInterestingly, Freja’s body fell up right, making her stand on all fours with her hands and legs supporting her. Her clothes, now in tatters, dropped off her larger frame. Glancing back at her face, her ears had successfully been formed, twitching around in the brown shade. Meanwhile, her breathing grew louder, snorting with every breath as her eyes widened apart from one another. \n\n\nBy this point, only her lower back looked remotely human. Her upper front had just been covered in fur, her head now appeared to be in the shape of her horse yet still with mostly human skin. That was quickly fixed within a blink of an eye once another gust of chilly wind brushed her maw. \n\n\nHer weight had now doubled or tripled especially with that large gut and firm chest muscles in place. Limbs now trembled under such immense weight, threatening to fall at any second now. To remedy this, her veins bulged out from the sudden growth around her arms. \n\n\nThis in turn accelerated the changes around her fingers. Well… not fingers anymore when they merged between one another. I watched her slender digits fused with one another - from five to four to two then finally one clunk that supported her weight. \n\n\nAnother point to prick my heart about, I gulped down in shame. Her fingers were officially gone. Quickly, the clunk thickened and sharpened into a silver shade, similar to mine. \n\n\nLikewise, her other hand and feet morphed similarly. Her balance stabilised substantially. Still sleeping, she let out a grunt, “Ughh, ge-get away!” Her voice grew deeper, the last patches of fur now swarming around her rear end. \n\n\nHer ass bumped up in size, causing her privates to shift upwards in the meantime. I blushed hard. Seeing her pussy and asshole right in front of me only made me feel self conscious about mine. \n\n\nNo, I shouldn’t be thinking about that. She had just changed into a horse because of me, why was I thinking about her equine private parts now? I shook my head. \n\n\nIs little Mercy trying to fight against her urges? \n\n\nUrges? I blinked. Shit. These spirits truly wanted to rip away everything that made me human - from my human body to my rational thoughts. It was so subtle that I didn’t realize it was happening, corroding my thoughts into like an animal. \n\n\nWhatever you say Mercy. Remember this is our blessing to you. \n\n\nKiriko now growled back at them, “Oh just shut up! Mercy never wanted this.” \n\n\nNeed us to remind who spread our blessings? \nThe fox clicked against her tongue, sighing. Curling into a ball of floof, she hung her head down, refusing to look at me. \n\n\nStretching down, I licked against her furry body, “Hey Kiriko, this is not your fault, alright? You wouldn’t have known this would happen to me.” \n\n\n“Yeah, yeah, I know,” She grumbled, “But still, it felt bad.” \n\n\nA sudden thump echoed from Freja, prompting us to glance back. Her hooves tapped against the ship, her expression still wincing where she continued to grunt, “N-no! Ju-just di-die already!”\n\n\nHer scent, now fully equine, urged me to connect with her. No, this must be one of my stupid instincts. Horse instincts trying to herd up and be together of some sort. By this point, she was almost fully a mare, aside from some important aspects. \n\n\nOn cue, her tail sprouted from above her ass, covering her privates out. It fell stiff immediately after appearing. Not as thick in fur as mine however. \n\n\nAs Kiriko stepped forward, her nose wiggled as her ears twitched upwards. She immediately went underneath the large horse. Her eyes now blinking at her swelling breasts, positioned right after her larger belly, “Oh Mercy, do you remember this?” \n\n\n“Oh shut up,” I squealed. Did she have to remind me of my leaky breasts? God, she knew how to suck them, “Get off there before she wakes up.” \n\n\n“Fine, fine,” She stepped out, her tail now returned to its normal pace of wagging, “Now what?” \n\n\n“Now we wait, I guess?” \n\n\nImmediately after saying it, Freja groaned, “Ughhhh. The hell was th-” She raised one of her hooves, trying to rub her eyes, before immediately placing it back down. Her eyes widened larger than ever, scanning the area and seeing even us, “What the fuck just happened?” \n\n\nShe stomped against the ship, her tail’s swishing hastened up, her mind was in a frenzy, “No, no, no this can’t be happening to me!” \n\n\nTurning around, she shouted, “And where the fuck did you two come from? You guys shouldn’t even be on this ship! Shoo! Scram!” \n\n\n“Umm…” Kiriko patted me on my ass, “I’ll let you handle this.” \n\n\n I nodded, walking towards the newly changed Freja, “What the hell was that? Why is there a talking fox? And why are you here? Did you curse me?”\n\n\n“Freja, just calm down.” \n\n\n“Calm down? One minute, I was on my death bed, trying to go back to headquarters and the next I was turned into this,” She glared at her own body, “This clunky heavy ass body that couldn’t even move. And how the fuck did you know my name?” \n\n\n“It’s me, Mercy.” \n\n\n“Mercy?” She slowed down her voice, “Why are you… a horse with that weird horn on your head now?” \n\n\nI glanced away, \"It's a long story but basically I’ve been turned into a unicorn by spirits.” \n\n\n“Spirits? \n\n\n“Supernatural ones.” \n\n\nHer stomach growled, causing her to blush, “Sorry. But there’s no such thing as that, right? You have a Phd in whatever science field, you should kno-” \n\n\nKnow what? Know that we don’t exist. \n\n\nFreja went pale. Goosebumps appeared on her fur, “What was that?” \n\n\nThe spirits that you’ve in turn believe to be fake. If we didn’t exist, you wouldn’t even be talking right now, foolish mortal. \n\n\n“Am I the only one that’s hearing this shit?” She raised her hoof, pointing at me whilst trembling, “Why are there voices in my head all of a sudden?” \n\n\n“That would be the spirits.” \n\n\nAnd we had given you our blessings to turn into something greater than just being human. \n\n\n“Ok shut the fuck up! I never wanted this blessing so just take it back and leave me alone!” \n\n\nAnd we never wanted to give it to you. But someone here decided to spread the joy, passing you our blessing in the process. \n\n\n“Mercy, what the hell are they saying?” \n\n\nI hung my head low. Shit. I knew the truth had to come out but this was… less than ideal. Freja didn’t need to know all this now. Was hoping to break the news slower but these spirits would do anything to fuck my plans over. \n\n\n“So when we found you, we saw that you were bleeding out. And seeing that I’m a unicorn,” I bowed down, showing my horn, “I wanted to heal you back up. But in the process…” \n\n\nWe lent our hand to little Mercy here, healing you while improving your body along the way. \n\n\nFreja’s expression tensed up after hearing the words. Her eyes stared down at me. Shit, what was I supposed to tell her now? Just seeing her new body already made me feel guilty. What more could she possibly want from me? For me to ignore her dying body? \n\n\nFortunately, her face relaxed, “Oh calm down Mercy, I’m not going to blame you for this. You saved me after all.” \n\n\n“You fucking spirits on the other hand,” She raised her voice, “You twisted Mercy’s act of kindness into this sick fucking joke of it. Change me back right this instant!” \n\n\nLooks like we have quite a feisty one in our hands. \n\n\n“I said!” \n\n\nI immediately stepped forward, nudging against her hooves, “Hey, stop that! You don’t understand how strong they are!” \n\n\n“Mercy!” Her eyes brimmed with tears, “We’ve just been changed into fucking animals. Why aren’t you mad at them?” \n\n\n“Because… because I’m more scared of them. They just changed our human bodies into this, what makes you think they won’t do more?” \n\n\n“Still!” \n\n\n“Just calm down, we’re already going to headquarters and Winston will be there to help us, alright? Let’s just keep our heads cool an-” \n\n\nShe shook her head, “No, no, that would mean letting them win. And we don’t fucking deserve it,” She raised back to her shouting voice, “Do you fucking hear me? Change us back now! All of us!” \n\n\nDon’t test our patience, young one. This is our last and final warning! \n\n\n“And what are you going to do to us? Fucking spirits who can’t even reveal themselves! You guys are fucking cowards! Only changing us because of your sick twisted neighs!” She caught her final word though I understood it as ‘fantasies’, “Neigh? Neigh! Neigh! Ne-neigh! Neigh!” \n\n\nOh blessed child, you deserve this. \n\n\n“Neighhhhh Neig-neigh!” Freja snorted, “Neigh!” I immediately understood it as ‘Fuck off! What the fuck have you done to my voice? I’m not a fucking mare!’ I blinked down at Kiriko, thinking that she heard the same as me. \n\n\nHer confused expression said otherwise. Nudging against my hooves, she raised one of her eyebrows, “Mercy, why do you look like you still understand her?” \n\n\n“Because I do.” \n\n\n“You don’t hear her neighing out loud?” \n\n\nI shook my head, “No, no, I still hear them. But weirdly, I can understand them,” Freja’s ears twitched before she glanced towards me. Her helpless eyes watched over me, whimpering out a bray. \n\n\nSomeone with such a vulgar mouth as yourself perfectly exudes what animals are meant to be. Free from whatever societal constraints that you pesky humans have placed upon yourself! \n\n\nFreja’s eyes burned brighter. Although her body trembled, she still raised her left hoof and slammed it against the ship’s floor. Shouting and screaming with all of her animal sounds. Guilt pinched me once again. Even with her forgiveness, it was hard to release that feeling. That I caused her pain. \n\n\nHer stomach growled suddenly, stopping her tantrum. \n\n\nOh Freja, don’t worry about all of this. You’ll be much happier eating grass once we reach land. \n\n\n“Nei?” She glanced back at me, “Neig…neighh?” which I heard as ‘What? Mercy, this isn’t true, right?’ \n\n\nWalking up to her, a bitter feeling coated around my heart. What could I even say here? With a pained expression, I merely told her, “Yeah… we eat grass now.” \n\n\nRefusing to look in my eye, trembles passed through her body like a shock had just flowed down. She grunted softly. \n\n\nI paced around her, “Don’t worry though. We were heading back to Headquarters for Winston to help and fix us. Who knows maybe we’ll turn back?” \n\n\n“Neigh?” Her eyes lit back up. \n\n\n“Yeah, that’s why we boarded this ship in the first place,” I nodded. Though a silent doubt whispered in the back of my mind, I pushed it all aside. Right now, what we needed was hope. Despair could come later when she had adjusted more steadily, “Anyways, let me teach you how to walk. Can’t have you dragging us behind, can we?” \n\n\nFor the first time, she cracked a smile, snorting out a laugh. From there, I taught her how to walk, showing each step one at a time while Kiriko watched from the background. For a smaller fox, she curled and huddled against her own thick fur, just to conserve heat across the ocean. \n\n\nFreja, unexpectedly, had much more trouble walking. Her constant neighs were the same complaints of how big and clunky her body was. Each time she stepped, it always felt like she was about to trip. About to crash leaning against one or the other side of her body. \n\n\nI couldn’t say the same however. After getting the hang of walking and tasting sprinting, there was no doubt that this body was superior to my old human self physically. If I had tried to sprint within my old self, I would be panting after a minute. What really bothered me was all that stupid fucking primal instincts. \n\n\nOccasionally, I found myself in a trance, staring behind Freja’s ass. Tingles assaulted my pussy, tempting me for some ‘self exploration’. Or how I wanted to talk about sex with a fellow mare, trying to ask her to ‘experiment’ with me. Didn’t help that I had these damn clumsy hooves for hands… \n\n\nI shook them all away obviously. But they lingered like that bitter grass that I had all the way back. \n\n\nFinally after an hour, she could start walking. \n\n\n“Neigh,” was followed up with a grunt as she explored the ship. Her balance was still unsteady. \n\n\n“Yes, yes, Freja, I know you might be a little clunky and big now but just imagine turning back to your agile self after this.” \n\n\nShe flashed me a smile before leaning against the wall and closed her eyes. Soon enough, she realized horses don’t sleep on the side… they sleep standing up. And so while standing next to me, both of us soon fell asleep. \n\n\nWhen the ship finally reached the port, we snuck out of the ship and made our way towards the headquarters. Once we found grass, the two of us were lured by the grass and just chomped it down. (Completely on instinct. I wasn’t even hungry when we reached.) \n\n\n“Neigh…neigh. Neigh.” which translated to ‘Fucking hell, imagine eating grass on the OW place. Are you sure, Mercy, we can't eat anything else?’\n\n\nGulping down grass, I groaned, “Ughh… I mean I have never tried anything else yet.” \n\n\n“Neigh…Neighhhh!” She stomped onto the ground, lamenting on how she could never eat meat again. Another salt to the wound I supposed. \n\n\nKiriko soon stepped in and interrupted our conversation, “Sorry to interrupt your conversation but… it's getting dark now. We should probably get going before they close.” \n\n\nWe nodded after chomping on the final patch of grass. Hated how this body had me yearning for grass. Grass. Literal grass around us like I was an animal. \n\n\nThat’s because you are one, Mercy. A pretty unicorn with all of your urges and instincts! \n\n\nImmediately, I kicked against one of the trees, causing branches to fall with a loud bellow. The other two looked back at me. Their eyes filled with sympathy and shock from my reaction. I just… I fucking… This was fucking too much. They were now just toying within my head, mocking my current circumstance as if they had not done this to me. \n\n\nMy anger faded when I could see the familiar outline of HQ. Please let this work. Freja tapped against the ground, her tail wagging faster, rubbing against my body. I glanced away. Couldn’t let her see my blushes…\n\n\n“Oh Mercy, what’s that I see?” \n\n\n“Shut it, Kiriko!” I hissed, “Quit stalling and go find some way for us to enter.” \n\n\nShe nodded with a wide grin emerging from her muzzle. Leaving the two of us behind, her footsteps barely made a sound despite how quickly she moved. Honestly, a tinge of jealousy sprouted within me before shaking my head. What nonsense was I thinking? \n\n\n“Neigh?” Freja snuck up from behind me. \n\n\n“Oh right. I just asked Kiriko to find a way into the HQ.” \n\n\nShe nodded and brayed a little. Fuck… my heart pounded against my chest. She was way too close to me and I… no, this damn body… wanted more of her. I stepped aside, “Ah sorry, it's a little hot with the two of us together.” \n\n\nShe raised her eyebrow and gave a whiny.\n\n\n“No, no, it's not you Freja. It’s all going to be fine once Winston helps us change back, alright?” \n\n\nThe door suddenly opened on its own. Behind its dark panels were Kiriko’s eyes arching up as her muzzle held an access card within it. Sweat dripped from the smaller fox’s body, “Didn’t think it was that easy to enter through the vents. You guys sure this isn’t some sort of security risk.” \n\n\n“Nei,” Freja glared down at her. \n\n\n“Well I me-” \n\n\n“Alright guys, let’s just find Winston first! We can discuss the ‘security risk’ down the line,” I hastened the conversation, stepping into the old building, “That gorilla is probably still researching something in the basement.” \n\n\nWithin the tight corridors of the office, her smell infiltrated my much more sensitive nostrils. Fuck. Had to stop thinking about Freja like this. Scenes of Kiriko’s drinking down my milk replayed in my mind. Shit. The pleasure and thrill were all returning back to me. \n\n\nI shook my thoughts out. All of these pesky instincts were acting up much more than I had ever expected. There, we finally reached Winston’s office. That doubtful whisper was now talking louder than ever. Why weren’t the spirits stopping us now? \n\n\n“What do you want? I’m busy ove-Oh,” He turned around, raising his glasses up, “What are you three doing here?” \n\n\nOpening the door, he tried to shoo us away, “I don’t know how you animals get into this place but you should leave.” \n\n\n“Winston, please help us!” Kiriko snuck under his legs and entered through his lab, “Please, you’re the only person that can change us back.” \n\n\nHe adjusted his glasses, “Kiriko? Is that you?” \n\n\n“Yes!” She jumped onto his desk, filled with conceptions and items. \n\n\nMassaging against his temples, he shook his head, muttering words out. The confusion of his face was clear as day, “Ah and you two must be some Overwatch members. Come in, come in,” He waved us in. \n\n\nWhile Freja excitedly stepped into his lad, apprehension was chaining my hoov-no legs down. Something about this felt weird. Whatever, it was probably just my paranoia. \n\n\nStepping into his large lab, Winston quickly grabbed some of his equipment before returning, “And you two must be.” \n\n\n“I’m Mercy and she is…” Freja neighed out only for Winston to look at her in confusion. Guess that meant only I could understand her, “Freja.”\n\n\n“Right so tell me Mercy how did you change into this?” \n\n\nThat’s when I gave him a brief recap of what happened for the past two days, explaining that Kiriko was cursed by spirits up till my healing powers were twisted into changing Freja into a mare. He nodded along, still giving me the same look of concern and compassion. \n\n\n“And yeah so that’s why we’re here to meet you, since you know you’re a…” \n\n\n“Talking animal?” \n\n\n“Yeah that…” \n\n\nHe rubbed between his eyes, “Mercy, I do want to temper your expectations. You realize I was born this way, right? Not changed like the rest of you.” \n\n\n“I understand that but you’re our best hope of changing back,” I paused. Wait, what was my plan again? I knew I needed Winston to help me but somehow I forgot the thread. Slowly, I recalled the plan. Right, I needed to return to my old lab for the cure before answering, “I need you to help me design some tools for me to find a cure.” \n\n\nFreja neighed and snorted immediately. \n\n\n“Yes, yes, I know I said that Winston could change us back but he isn’t specialised in biology like I am,” I pointed out, “Just need him to create the items for our adjustments, alright?” \n\n\nShe calmed down, still glaring at me in the eye. \n\n\n“With that said, I supposed we can talk about sleeping plans now,” He petted Kiriko on the head where she nuzzled against his larger hands. Hands that I used to have… “For this little scrap, she probably can sleep wherever she likes in the building. Will probably have a designated sleeping bed for you once all of this settles down.” \n\n\nKiriko yipped in delight, curling up in front of the heater in his lab. \n\n\n“As for you two, you need to sleep inside our stables.” \n\n\nFreja immediately slammed her hoof against the ground, “NEIGH!” \n\n\n“Calm down, Freja,” I firmly said before turning to the gorilla, “Sorry about her outburst, but about that, we have stables?” \n\n\nHe nodded, “Yeah, some of the newer recruits have powers with farm animals or something. Not too sure on the details but we built a stable close to the building. Do you mind?” \n\n\n“Of course we mind. Why does she get to sleep in the building while we have to sleep in some stable like feral horses!” I said as Freja backed me up with disgruntled snorts. \n\n\nKiriko’s ears perked up, hearing our conflict, “I mean if you two don’t like living in stables, where would you two sleep in?” \n\n\n“I don’t know…” I stuttered with Freja braying, “Just anywhere better than living out in the wild.” \n\n\nHer eyes darted to the side, “What about your… other needs?” \n\n\n“Sorry?” \n\n\nShe gulped, “You know I really didn’t want to say this but… I’ve lived with my mother for such a long time that I figured out how to handle my other needs.” \n\n\n“Go on.” \n\n\n“Just think about it. Like how would you…” She stumbled, “do your business within this building or at night?”\n\n\nI stepped back. She had a point. But sleeping in those stables like an actual animal devoid of an actual sheltered place… felt humiliating. Ridding me of the basic necessities as a human. Fucking hell… \n\n\nFreja tried to counteract, grunting and snorting out a simple answer, “Neigh. Neig-neigh?” \n\n\n“Sorry, what is she saying?” Kiriko asked, both of them tilted their heads to the left. \n\n\n“Basically, she just said we will figure out a way. Don’t shove us outside just because we’re mares.” \n\n\n“I mean…” Freja’s stomach grumbled once again, causing a blush to surface up, “See if we’re in the stables, you two could eat to your delight.” \n\n\n“And I won’t lock the doors so you two can roam freely if you want at night,” Winston chimed in, he gave both of us a shot of pity, “Trust us, if we had the option to, I would love for you two to stay here.” \n\n\nI lowered my head. Fuck. Another loss of my humanity, having to stay in stables instead of staying in an actual building? I had a whole lab inside here; one that I used to sleep on my desk doing late night research, and I couldn’t even stay there. Not with these stupid fucking body. \n\n\nFreja was more accepting however. Nodding along with a resigned look, she whined in one last futile protest. \n\n\n“Mercy, are you alright with this?” \n\n\n“What other choice do we have?” My words accompanied by my bitterness, “Just lead the way.” \n\n\nHe nodded, leading up the stairs. Kiriko tagged along and followed, nudging against my warmer body, “Mercy, are you alright?” \n\n\n“I’m fine, alright. Just… pissed at this whole situation.” \n\n\n“Same. I just wished these damn spirits didn’t exist in the first place.” \n\n\nAnd we wished that you could use your blessings for good. Not to become some ordinary person and neglecting the weak. Alas, this form suited you much better than as a hero. Weak, cowardly and frail like the fox you always were. \n\n\n“Neigh!” Freja suddenly snorted, telling the spirits to fuck off. At this point, I was certain that these were not benevolent spirits but malicious ones, posing as good spirits. Why else would they be so obsessed with torturing us? \n\n\n“Woah, calm down Freja,” Winston turned around, tapping his card and opening the doors out of the main building. \n\n\nAs a soft grunt escaped her maw, Winston walked us down the trail and showcased the stable. Freshly built and stocked with amenities, he pushed the door open with dim lights illuminating the area, “So this is where you’ll stay,” \n\n\nPointing at the multiple empty stables, he continued, “And this is where you’ll sleep. It isn’t the prettiest but it gets the job done.” \n\n\n“Right.” \n\n\n“And there’s a button to press if you need any help,” Pointing to the red button on one of the tables, “Food’s outside with fresh grass and I think that should wrap things up. Any questions?” \n\n\nWe shook our heads.\n\n\n“Great. I’ll be heading back now, good night Mercy and Freja!” Winston walked away, yawning. Knowing him, he was going to pull another all-nighter, trying to create new equipment for us. \n\n\nKiriko nudged against one of my hooves suddenly, “Don’t get too feisty with her, alright?” \n\n\nI blushed, “Kiriko!” \n\n\n“What?” She cocked her head to the side, “Don’t try to lie to me, your pheromones are leaking all over the damn place.” \n\n\n“What pheromones?\" \n\n\n“Do I really need to spell it out with you?” \n\n\nMy blush reddened up immediately, “Fine, I get it. It's not like I can do anything with these hooves.” \n\n\n“Fair enough,” She winked back, “But if you need any help releasing… tension, I’m always here, alright?” \n\n\n“Oh just get out already!” \n\n\nOn cue, the fox leaped through the multiple fences, leaving me and Freja alone in our respective stables. Fuck. Was it that obvious that I was horny? This stupid damn body just kept insisting in different ways that I… hated. I was being strung along like a puppet to these urges. These primal feelings that just kept stirring within my mind. \n\n\nThe lights flickered off soon after. Now under the twilight beside Freja, I closed my eyes, forcing myself to sleep. No. I wasn’t going to succumb to these feelings. These thoughts that only plagued my mind. Not some feral mare that’s only searching for sex. \n\n\n“Nei-neigh?” Freja suddenly asked, turning her head to face me. \n\n\n“Yeah, I’m still not sleeping yet. What do you want to say?” \n\n\nShe softly tapped against the ground, “Ne…neigh…Neigh”, thanking me for saving her this afternoon. She had honestly believed she was going to die on that ship if we weren’t there. \n\n\n“At least you’re safe now…” \n\n\n“Neigh!” She snorted out, kicking the hay underneath her. Yeah, she was predictably upset at this. She continued with several disgruntled snorts and groans, complaining about how she hated how big and fat this body was. And that she missed how agile she used to be, adding a couple of curses against the spirits. \n\n\n“Nei-nei-neigh! Neighhhh ne- neigh!” Freja ended. \n\n\n“Oh um… I don’t need you to do anything for me, alright?” Once again, these feelings stirred up within me. She just said if there’s anything she could do for me, she would do it immediately, as thanks for saving her life. \n\n\nOh Mercy, why are you lying about your feelings? \n\n\n“Shut up!” I stomped onto the ground, “These are all your feelings fucking injected and infecting my brain. Don’t you dare tell me these are my feelings!” \n\n\nOh Mercy, just accept it as part of your blessings, alright? As a mare (a unicorn no less), you will have your needs met and this is merely one of them. Fortunately, Freja is here to help you! \n\n\n“Neigh?” Her eyes widened. Under the stars, her pussy twitched unnaturally. Her sweet scent morphed into a deeper and earthy smell. Oh no, what the fuck are they doing to her? \n\n\nCompletely red now, my jaw detached to my face as I watched her grow a long girthy cock. An equine one that stretched much further than any cocks I’ve seen. My thoughts turned upon themselves. \n\n\nTingles surrounded my pussy. My breath hastened up. Oh fuck… this was wrong of me. I shook my head. This was wrong of me, I shouldn’t be having these thoughts. This was all because of these spirits! \n\n\nAnother whiny escaped from Freja; her crotch breasts jiggled around her now erect dick while she tapped against the floor, not knowing what to do. \n\n\nFreja dear, do you know why you’ve been blessed with a huge cock? \n\n\nShe shook her head. \n\n\nMercy needs someone big and strong to relieve this horny feeling she’s in. Won’t you help her? \n\n\n“Neigh,” She glanced back at me, her beady eyes blinking back.\n\n\n“I’m sorry, Freja. I didn’t even know this shit would happen! I swear!” \n\n\nNow, now, if you want it gone, you’ll have to use it, alright dear? If not, you’ll be carrying that 15 inch cock wherever you’ll go. Maybe you’ll become a good breeding stud for the future.\n\n\nMy friend closed her eyes, shaking her head. But mine were still affixed on her new appendage. Images of her ramming it into me flashed in my mind. My legs trembled. Shit. What do I do now? I couldn’t possibly be thinking of having sex with her, right? \n\n\nFreja pushed against the door and entered my stable. My tail immediately raised, revealing my bare sex. Was there any hiding it at this point? \n\n\n“Neigh, neigh!” She said she could feel it throb and twitch beneath her large body, “Neighhhhhh neighhhhhhh.” And that she was so fucking horny now. \n\n\nAnother part of my humanity just died within me. Having sex as wild animals within a fucking stable. The worst part was I wanted it. I wanted her dick to shove right into my pussy deep! A tear rolled down my fur before I neighed, nodding my head. \n\n\nShe soon mounted over me. \n\n\nOur fur touched against one another, sharing the heat between the two of us. Her tail was visibly wagging at the thought of it while her face had signs of jealousy. \n\n\n“Ready whenever you are, Freja,” I said, combining resignation and excitement. \n\n\nMy fluids squirted onto the floor immediately the moment her large cock made contact with my ridges. Never in my life had I felt such immense pleasure. Such a rush of dopamine as she stretched my pussy deeper. Despite the size being much bigger, I was capable of handling all of its size. \n\n\nEvery inch of my feminine ridges rubbed against her massive cock. The pleasure was intoxicating, making me addicted and want more from her. Pulling out, I turned around and instinctually let out a whiny. My pussy leaking out its fluids. \n\n\nAnd she delivered.\n\n\nThrusting her hips deep into me, moans escaped out of my ma-mouth. Loud ones that scared away any small critters in the region. Her cock stretched deeper until it hit that golden zone. Flames ignited within my pussy. Now I wanted something to fill me up. To permanently keep my satiated. \n\n\nBy the third or fourth time she rammed into me, I spotted precum leaking out of her own cock. Her bellows and groans climbed in volume. Almost like she was the horse dominating over me. To prove that I was underneath her. \n\n\nPleasure continued to hike up. Thoughts became hard to form - only basic urges remained - as the spirits taunted me. \n\n\nSee, isn’t that nicer to give into your needs? Honestly, as a unicorn, you shouldn’t have sex with Freja in the first place. But you were so horny and needy that we couldn’t help ourselves, you know? \n\n\nI let my tongue out, my eyes going in a daze. I could hear them, yes. But I couldn’t understand the words they were saying. Especially when her cock kept shoving into me over and over again. \n\n\nBoth of our bodies trembled from pure delight. Euphoria even. My whole sense of self eroded in the moment from the waves of pleasures, crashing against it in the same rhythmic pattern. \n\n\nOne Out. Two In. \n\n\nSoon enough, Freja had a pained expression, like she was holding something the whole time. Her face soured when I glanced back. Alright, time to have some fun with her. \n\n\nI leaned backwards, allowing her mighty cock to push deeper into my cervix. Shocks temporarily overwhelmed me as I froze in that position. So much ecstasy. \n\n\nThere, her pacing slowed down. Her thrusts were getting harder. My slower mind connected the dots eventually, that she was going to cum deep inside me once this was done. \n\n\n“Ple… please… C…Cum… i…in me!” I demanded between baited breaths. \n\n\nOn cue, she did so. The strongest thrust out of the rest thus far with cum gushing out of her cock. Both of us moaned together in union. A climatic orgasm rushed down our bodies. My mind went completely blank at that moment. Couldn’t think, couldn’t move, only just experiencing all of that warm cum deep inside my pussy. \n\n\nShe soon mounted off of me, gasping for air. Her body, still shaking from the orgasm, only appeared sexier to me. No! This had gone on too long! I wasn’t some horny dumb feral horse! Gah! Even the words I was thinking just sounded simpler by the second. Her long hanging dick disappeared away, leaving behind her completely soaked pussy. Cum still dripping out from her private parts. \n\n\n“N-N-Neigh…” Freja pouted a little, saying that she wanted to be fucked instead… Felt sorry for her at that moment but I wouldn’t lie, the enjoyment from that fucking scene was immeasurable. I couldn’t even describe it in words. \n\n\nWhile we both continued to pant, my mind just replayed the scenes over and over again. The rush. The thrill. The delight of getting rammed. I was certain my face was crimson red just from thinking about it in the dark. \n\n\nI shook out of those thoughts. Tomorrow, I will make a cure with whatever gadgets Winston made for us. I could feel my humanity slipping away, contaminated and plagued by primal urges and instincts. \n\n\nAnd before I knew it, I had already fallen asleep. Visions of Freja mounting me and fucking me all over again acted as my dreams. Waking up in shock, the sun had started to rise as I galloped towards Winston’s lab. Just before any of the other employees could make it to work. \n\n\n“Winston! Are you done?” \n\n\nThe gorilla woke up from his desk, drool on his face as brand new equipment scattered on the table, “Pfggg?” He rubbed against his eyes, grabbing his glasses from the side. With a yawn, he continued, “Good Morning Mercy.” \n\n\n“Yes, good morning to you too Winston.” \n\n\nStretching his body, he showed me a little device - one that resembled those mini microphones, “Alright for the first equipment, I got you girls a little translating device. Just to talk to people,” He attached it around my neck, “Try speaking through the mic.” \n\n\n“Hello?” A robotic imitation of my voice echoed through the speaker, “Wait, but aren’t I speaking in English now?” \n\n\n“Nah, you’re neighing right now,” He chuckled, “Neighing that I supposed only animals like us could understand.” \n\n\n“Then what about?” \n\n\n“Her? Freja’s case is different, not even I could understand what she’s saying. Supposedly that curse that she’s under is much stronger than even my ears could decipher. Still hopefully these mics could help with that and we could finally talk without needing you to translate.” \n\n\n“Right,” I scanned the room now after the adrenaline wore off. Kirko was still sleeping by the corner, right in front of the fire source while his lab still had scraps of metal lying around on the floor. Must be a long night for him I supposed, “I’m sure someone like you couldn’t be satisfied with just making one equipment.” \n\n\n“Got me there, Mercy,” He shambled towards a box, covered in a red cloak. Unveiling it, he exclaimed, “Just scraped together a pair of prosthetic arms for you,” A pair of robotic arms shined under the light. \n\n\nI dashed towards it. The design resembled my old hero outfit with its yellow and orange hues. Taking it out of the box, he plucked it onto my large torso. There I winced as an injection pierced through my nerves. \n\n\n“Yikes, should’ve told you that it was going to hurt,” His expression soured, “But try moving your arms now.” \n\n\nTurning back, I watched as the heavy arms weighed against my torso. Freja definitely would’ve hated how heavy and bulky it was. But just like moving my old arms, the new prosthetic ones followed my commands to a tee. Flipping my new hands, clapping and even doing punches were as smooth as before. \n\n\n“Oh my god, I can’t thank you enough, Winston!” My voice rose a little too loud, waking the fox up. \n\n\n“That’s the least I could do to help you, Mercy,” He rubbed against his eyes, “But I think I’m going to crash out soon so probably won’t be helping much with the cure.” \n\n\n“Right, right, that’s totally fine. Have a good rest, Winston!” I charged right back up to the stairs, grabbing his access cards and heading straight back to my lab. Finally, I could try and reverse this stupid curse, from these fucking spirits and turn back to normal. \n\n\nTapping the access card, a familiar smell of the lab infiltrated my nose. Dust covered the place up, probably because I left it unused for about a year or so. Everything just froze in place. The various prosthetic equipment on display, my computer with all of the lab reports, the microscopes that I had begged the company to buy were all intact. \n\n\nAlright. Enough indulging in my nostalgia, I had work to do. \n\n\nSwitching on my computer, I quickly realized with how clunky my hands were, typing down letters on a keyboard was much harder than expected. Felt awkward to do it with such big fingers that spanned behind me. \n\n\nOh Mercy, what do you think you’re doing? \n\n\nI hesitated. Shit. Not these spirits again. \n\n\nWe’re always watching, you know Mercy? Why are you trying to hide your intentions to us? \n\n\n“And you’re still asking?” I snorted, “What’s the point of even asking me such a question if you already fucking knew the answer.” \n\n\nJust want to ensure that you’re doubling down on your sins against us. \n\n\n“Sins? What sins have I even committed? Helping others?” \n\n\nSome sins are not evil in nature. A doctor like you should know this principle. But there’s a rule of conduct for these actions. \n\n\n“Yeah right. I took the oath to help people not change them into freaks like me,” I rolled my eyes, “But go on, tell me how much I had sinned.” \n\n\nOne final chance, Mercy. You can turn back now and we’ll turn a blind eye to this rebellion\n\n\n“Rebellion?” \n\n\nYes, rebellion. To try and reverse our blessings, morphing them into curses. That’s your sin against us. To throw away what had been given to you instead of appreciating and accepting one’s fate. \n\n\n“Oh fuck right off, you spirits. You don’t even fucking know what’s your talking about? Just look at how many people you’ve harmed already.” \n\n\nThe lights flickered in the room. I turned around with goosebumps appearing on my fur. What the fuck were they doing to my lab? Objects began to shake and levitate like a gust of wind were spiralling within the lab. \n\n\n“Wait, wait, what do you think you’re doing?” \n\n\nJust making sure our blessings are permanent. \n\n\nMy new prosthetic arms fell limp to the side. No. This couldn’t be happening. Why were they fucking ruining everything that I wanted to do? I just… I just wanted to help people and this was what I got? \n\n\nYou should’ve helped them in the right way then. \n\n\n“No!” I slammed my hoof against the ground, “I’m not fucking buying any of your bullshit. This is your fault for fucking ruining everything that we had. We are people not some of your toys to play around, you sick fucks!” \n\n\nOh Mercy, what’s the use of having a tantrum now? We aren’t going to change back because of you. In fact…\n\n\nObjects shook even faster than before. Tables and chairs floated up and broke in the air. Windows shattered. I tried to command my new arms once again but it just wouldn’t work. \n\n\nWe were going to allow those arms. Just as a token of kindness from us but with all of your rebellious actions, we decided not to. \n\n\nScreams of agony echoed once the sharp pain from my torso amplified. My newest arms were ripped and torn to shreds, practically sent to the papershredder and torn into pieces, leaving no trace of its former self behind. \n\n\nTears rolled down my fur. This couldn’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening and I just wanted to make it stop. Stop the destruction of my life’s work. Papers that I had kept within cupboards burnt into crisps, microscopes were shattered into a million parts while even the table and chairs cracked into splinters. \n\n\nStanding within the debris, I blinked at the ruined lab. What could I even do here? \n\n\nThis is our first and last warning, Mercy. If you ever try to reverse these changes, we will break it all over again. Tear apart any inch of progress you’ve made and make sure you fall right back to where you started. \n\n\nI fell silent. I didn’t have the will to argue back. Resignation and despair came intertwined, making me sick to the bone. What was the point? Were we stuck as animals forever? \n\n\n“Mercy, are you alr-oh,” Kiriko sprinted her way up to my lab to see it in ruins. I stepped out of its ruins. My tears followed the same silent path. Kiriko went silent, accompanying me back to my stables. How was I going to explain this to Freja? That no matter what we do, we would always be animals. \n\n\nThe next few hours, I could only remember crying. Over and over again within the stables. The two of them didn’t have any words to comfort me, only feeling the same resignation and dread that I had felt. We were stuck like this. As mere animals to be played by these spirits. \n\n\nKiriko soon fled to the building. Her guilty conscience right now, killing her for starting this chain of events, was too much to look at us in the eye. Freja meanwhile stuck by my side, neighing occasionally. \n\n\nWhen Winston woke up, he could only give condolences to our situation. He scratched his head, “If you girls don’t mind, I could give you some tips and tricks to living as an animal. Pardon my suggestion if it offends you but I am the residential animal after all.” \n\n\n“Nei-” \n\n\n“She said right,” My voice was so soft that I could barely hear myself, “Just… give me some space for the day, alright?” \n\n\nHe nodded. More employees soon came to work, passing us as mere mares. I caught familiar faces like Tracer or Hanzo. My friends who would greet me within the office itself, now not even batting an eye at us. \n\n\nA couple people would pet us. Saying how I had gone missing in one of the branches. And all I could do was munch stupid grass on the ground and neigh. Definitely didn’t turn on the translator Winston gave to me. My eyes by this point were swollen red, puffy from all the tears that dried up. \n\n\nAnd this was the life I had to live? For the next decade or so as a horse? Because I ‘offended’ these spirits? It all just left a bitter taste in my mouth. I couldn’t even fucking heal people else they’ll turn into actual animals like Freja. \n\n\nI… my whole life had just been stripped away from me. My identity as a healer, my body as a human and my whole purpose dedicated to healing people… It’s all gone now. What did I even do wrong here? \n\n\nAh right, they were going to tell me this was a blessing. A blessing to become a mystical unicorn who could pass down their blessings once again. Onto dying people that will be reborn as mere horses… oh fuck right off! \n\n\nHours flew by. One moment, I was sulking about my lab being destroyed, the next moment the sun was setting down. All of these rational thoughts suffocated any hope I had. There was no… escape. No hope of ever returning back to normal. And the rumination was driving me mad. \n\n\nThat I was responsible for changing Freja into like me. That the hope that I had told them was a false one. One that broke under the simplest of strength. That this was our life. Our damn lives as mere animals. Feral ones with all of these primal urges and instincts. \n\n\nI glanced back at Freja, “Could we… do it again?” \n\n\n“Nei?” She raised her eyebrows, shaking her head. \n\n\n“I don’t care. I just need something to distract myself,” I glanced down at her new sprouting cock, reaching the same size as yesterday, “Let’s have fun, alright~?”", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "“So what’s our plan now?” Kiriko, the fox, rolled her eyes, “I mean, you’re the genius here.”


I raised one of my hooves unconsciously, trying to rub between my eyes, but my entire body trembled as I immediately grounded myself. Right. Not a woman now, just a unicorn within my newly moved office.


Crazy to think that I had changed into this form. I mean, how was this biologically possible, but alas, staring down on my bulky body, the facts were laid clear and loud. Was fur always this thick and warm?


My eyes now shifted towards the culprit - a feral fox with green hair on her head. A former young Overwatch Agent who had mysteriously disappeared from her role months ago suddenly reappeared as a fox before my eyes. Of course, I didn’t believe her, but after she typed out all of my questions using her little phone, well, she convinced me otherwise.


And so I extracted some of her blood, tried to reverse engineer this, only for her to sneak her way into my cunt and change me into a unicorn like so. Even I couldn’t deny that the cause was supernatural - something that science had never stumbled upon.


Kiriko yawned as she swished her tail. Her scent infiltrated my larger nostrils. Gah, it started to distract me from my thoughts. Alright, focus, Mercy. How should I escape from here? Was there even a need to escape here? Shou-


“Kiriko, stop playing around with my leg!” I said sternly, watching the fox curled up beside my leg.


She glanced at the door, “I don’t get what’s so hard about escaping. I mean, I snuck in here just fine.”  


I blinked at her, “You do realize I need to escape with you to cure both of us, right?”


“Oh yeah…”


An awkward silence filled the room. Seriously, did she turn off her brain once she became a fox? Not to mention, all of the scents, even those coming from outside, were distracting me. Caffeine, Jim’s flower perfume, Bradley’s odour, the stench of the shipment outside… Ewww. My expression soured. Alright, this nose was too sensitive for my own good.


“Right, now that we’re on the topic,” Kiriko broke the silence, now looking at my legs, “I suppose I need to teach you how to…”


“How to do what?”


“Walk on fours.”


Pfft. Who did she take me for? I could walk on twos as a human; walking on fours was going to be a cake walk. Kirko leaped onto the table before shooting me a concerned look, “You’re thinking it was going to be easy, didn’t you?”


“I mean, we all crawled before as infants, didn’t we?”


She lifted her head, snickering a little. What was she laughing at? “Go on then, just circle around me.”


“Err, sure. Just need to lift up my right hoov-” My whole body trembled once again, now leaning against my hind legs. It’s fine. It’s fine. I just needed to step forwa-shit why was everything shaking around me?


My tail froze. It wasn’t just me - my whole body was much, much heavier than before. Close to three times as heavy as my original weight, I dare say. Jerking back, I choked a little on my spit, my breaths baited.


Kiriko hopped down, “See this is what I mean,” Her face now wearing a smug smirk like a badge of honor, “Walking on fours needs your whole body to be coordinated, else you’ll fall.”


I clenched my fists. Only to realize that my fingers were gone, replaced with a clunky, hard hoof; I let out a groan before just defaulting to a stomp. Alright, the mere wonder in me was fading out.


Oh, is our dear doctor not happy with the changes?


Immediately, I turned my head. Who was that? Where were those voices coming from? Goosebumps popped from my fur. While the words were clear, the voice sounded almost abnormal - eldritch-like even.


Kiriko stomped angrily on the floor. Her expression soured, looking back inwards at herself. Huh, what could erase that smirk of hers that quickly? She glanced back at me, “Wait… Mercy, why are you trembling so much all of a sudden?”


What was this animal instinct? Even my tail froze up after hearing that voice, but surely Kiriko would understand this, “Yeah, I don’t know. I heard some strange voices in my head. Something about me not being happy with the changes.”


Excellent. Guess you can hear us just fine.


Kiriko hung her head low, “Yeah, so those are the spirits that changed us.”


We prefer the term blessed. After all, what wonderful bodies you girls have right now. Better than that lousy husk of a human body, you know?


“Wait, Kiriko, how did this even start?”


The fox glanced backwards, refusing to look me in the eye. Her swishing tail slowed down massively, leaving her with a little soft shake ever so often. With her back facing me, she choked out, “Well… It’s a little… long story. Basically, the gang running my city attacked my apartment, and I was outmatched and couldn’t save one of the residents there. After a bit of back and forth between my mum and me… I decided to quit.”


You have all of our blessings and charms, and you decide to turn your back on the city? Pathetic. And so we decide to curse you into this form, allowing you to experience life as the true fox maiden.


My eyes watered up. Didn’t realize that Kiriko was forced into becoming an Overwatch agent, and certainly not in this manner. I didn’t know what to say to her. Especially when she was being held hostage by these spirits.


And you, my dear doctor, were caught within the crossfire. That’s all. If you had not helped Kiriko, we would never have crossed paths, and you’d still be a human. A fine doctor helping others.


“And how was I supposed to know this?”


You weren’t. Kiriko should’ve known better.


Her ears drooped, “...I’m so sorry. I really shouldn’t have come here…”


Imagination went wild in my mind, envisioning my human self hugging the poor fox within my lap as I stroked against her fur. Instead, I was this blocky unicorn that couldn’t take a single step forward. I sighed, “It’s fine, Kiriko. Why don’t you just help me learn how to walk again?”


“No, it’s not. Just look at yourself, Mercy!”


“Kiriko…” I stumbled on my words a little. Why was she hitting me in the gut now? “It’s fine. Once we get to the lab, I’ll figure something out and cure both of us, alright?” I lied a little, “For now, could I have my partner teach me how to walk?”


She turned around. Her eyes and ears lit up as the sullen look morphed into a shit-eating grin, “Well, if you put it that way,” Swiftly, she nudged against my hind legs, “It’s basically riding a bicycle, once you get going, you cannot stop.”


“Bu-”


“Just watch me walk here, alright?” She leaped to the table, slowing down her steps, “Take the forelimb and just step it forward and lean forward.” My eyes followed her tracks, blushing when I saw her breasts jerk forward, “Eyes on me, Mercy. Don’t you want to walk?”


I swallowed my spit, “Right, yeah. So I just-” Lifting up my hoof, the same tremors rushed down my body, threatening to lose my own balance. This damn body was akin to carrying stacks of bricks down the stairs. Alright. Deep breaths. All I need is to take one step at a time. Just one step.


Time slowed down. All of my senses were terrorizing my mind, from my sight to my smell, each one of them wanted to go back to my original position. I shook my head, looking down at the ground. Was it always this scary to take the first step?


“Boo,” Kiriko suddenly whispered into my twitching ears. I screamed before landing my hoof onto the ground and glaring at the fox, “Why don’t you look at that? You took your first step.”


My eyes widened. Right. I actually took my first step with her little distraction. But with my hoof so far up, my body stretched out in awkward proportions. On instinct, my other hoof raised up, simulating the same tremors that rushed down my body.


This time, however, it was easier for my other hoof to land parallel to my initial one. Then my hind hoof followed along with the last one, also catching up. With the momentum of my body pushing me, I felt compelled to continue walking forward and just circle around her.


Kiriko’s eyes lit up. “So how does it feel to walk?”


“Weird. Like my hands are on the floor and I constantly have to move them forward,” I glanced back at her, “But strangely, I don’t dislike it?”


That’s because of our blessing, Mercy. After all, all life began walking o-.


“Just increase the pace of your steps, and soon you’ll be galloping,” Her eyes darted towards the door, “And I think we’re gonna need it.”


“Wait, wait,” I paced around the table, walking towards my computer. Raising one of my hoofs, I wanted to type something in there, only to realize that I had a clunky hoof instead of my fingers. Irritation crept behind my thoughts, “Kiriko, help me search up some things, your paws can type here, right?”


“On it.”


Soon after, I formulated a plan. We get onto the nearby port and onto one of the ships designated to go back to Overwatch HQ. Most of the ships are automated (by yours truly) and so using our faster and more agile bodies, we should be able to hop onto them with no problem. A quick 15-minute breakaway from everyone here.


Kiriko hopped onto my back, “Are you sure you’re fine like this?”


“Like what?”


“Me being on your back.”


“Kiriko, it's fine. It's faster for us anyways. Besides, I’m probably faster than you.”


She sighed while clutching her paws against my white fur, “Alright, let’s go then.”


As if on cue, instincts took over from me. The other employees wore shocked expressions while I crossed past them. The environment itself was making me claustrophobic, pumping adrenaline within my blood, propelling me even faster.


Didn’t get better on the streets. Eyes turned to face us while I took to the short cuts within the alleyways. Loud sounds and bright lights momentarily stunned me with Kiriko petting against my back to catch my attention. Why was everything so much louder and vibrant now?


Could hear every whisper or conversation happening within the vicinity, most of which were about us. Phones were raised. Pictures were taken. Of a fox riding a horse towards the exit. Some of them called animal protective services with cars and motorbikes occasionally stopping their tracks to see us.


Yet I kept on rushing onwards. Sprinting faster than I ever did in my life. Heartbeats thumped against my larger chest. Never in my life had I felt this liberated and stuck before. With another turn to the left, we finally made it out of the city where the roads were now smaller and grass now sprouting out.


I finally took a breath, looking back at the city, “Kiriko, how much time do we have left?”


“Ughhh,” The fox leapt down and clung against one of the fences. Her orange fur was paler than before, “So-so…sorry Mercy. L…let me rest here for… a… sec…” There, she laid on the grass, slowing breathing in.


I sheepishly chuckled. Too fast for her, huh? Glancing forward, the port glimmered with hope for us. Alright, just a bit more and we’ll be there. Just as I was about to take the next step, my stomach rumbled.


Right, it was lunch time. My gaze shifted towards the grass. No, I was still human, I wasn’t going to eat this. Not today.


“You should probably eat that grass, Mercy,” Kiriko suddenly said, “After all, you’re hungry now.”


“But… but I’m human.”


“Not in that body, you’re not,” She got back on all fours, circling in front of me, “Chill, it's just grass. At least you aren’t eating pet food.”


I gulped. That grass did look tasty. The fragrance and that bright green shade… Just one bite wouldn’t hurt anyone. Leaning forward, I stretched my tongue out and with the scent thickening with how close I was, I took a bite.


My expression soured. Grass was still as bitter as I remembered it. Yet swallowing it down, my body just continued to seek for more. And before I knew it, I had eaten the whole patch of grass. Flushing red now, I set my eyes towards the port and galloped towards it.


Kiriko kept pace with me with a little grin, “So how’s the grass?”


“Disgusting.”


“But your little tail was wagging so much with each bite, it almost made me want to eat it.”


“Haha, very funny,” I rolled my eyes before increasing the pace. A thought sunk into my mind. Grass was now my diet. The main source of food that I could eat was a bitter patch of grass found anywhere there. No more meat. No more salad. Just regular bitter grass.


Maybe, I shouldn’t have helped h-no, that’s a terrible thought to have. She was suffering so much, how could I ignore her pleas?


Finally reaching the port, Kiriko sniffed the air, “No people here. Think we’re safe to board.”


I nodded. We snuck between the many robots carrying cargo and jumped onto one of the ships with the Overwatch Logo stamped. My legs gave way and just fell flat onto the ground with Kiriko curling into a ball, “How long is this trip going to take?”


“A couple hours?”


“Ok, I’m going to sleep now,” She said, closing her eyes. Wait, was she seriously sleeping on the ship? But… it wasn’t like there’s anything else to do. Resting against the wall, I watched the ship depart the port.


Didn’t take long for sleep to creep up on me. Endless water with relatively calm waves created a lullaby effect on me where my eyelids grew heavier and heavier. And before I knew it, I had dozed off.


“Merc-” A soft whisper hissed into my ear.


“No…Not now… 5 more… minutes…”


“Mercy,”


“5…5… more minutes… I pr…promise you.”


A sudden kick to my belly was enough to jolt my awake. My eyes glared at the culprit who was peering up at me. Her eyebrows furrowed a little, “There’s… someone on the ship with us,” She whispered.


“How’s that possible?”


“Apparently the ship passed by some counters and someone boarded onto it,” She lifted her paw, pointing behind me. I peered back to see Freja wounded on the ground, covering up her wounds on her stomach. She winced in pain, closing her eyes, “You know her?”


I nodded, “Yeah, she’s one of the overwatch agents.”


Kiriko sighed in relief, “Alright then, thought she was someone dangerous.”


Immediately, I took a step forward before Kiriko stopped me, “What are you doing?”


“Are you crazy?” She raised her voice, “What do you think you’re going to do there? Heal her?”


“Yeah?”


“Yeah?” She mimicked my tone, “We’re on a cargo ship to headquarters as two animals. What do you think she’ll do when she sees us?” Kirko pointed to the sea, “We’re probably going to be deported back or worse.”


Once again, I wanted to clench my fists but yes, I was reminded that I didn’t have any fingers. My frustration came in stomps against the ship with Kiriko quickly stopping me. How could I not help her when she’s in so much pain? Even my instincts were urging me to use my horn and treat her wound.


My horn glowed yellow out while Kiriko sighed, “Mercy just listen to me, we can’t take the risk now.”


“So you would rather take the risk she dies than to endanger our li-”


Kiriko peeked at her once again, “It doesn’t seem that bad… I had worse before and well I healed back up.”
That is because of us, young fox. We blessed you with enhanced regeneration and so even the most lethal of wounds would heal back.


She clicked against her tongue, now circling, “Fine, you can heal her but could you do this in secret?”


“Secret?”


“I don’t know like heal her when she’s unconscious or something. What do you think she’ll do when she sees a horse and fox tryna treat her wound? She would probably scream and panic.”


Looking back at Freja, she was still pressing against her wound, wincing in slight pain. Kiriko had a point. Wouldn’t be wise to cause distress to her. Although she had been wincing in the background, her bleeding had finally stopped. Hence, I suppose we could wait till she’s unconscious before treating her.


“Fine,” I redirected my voice towards the spirits and hissed out, “What about you? Are you going to interfere with this?”


Interfere?


“I mean your stupid blessings.”


Silence was their response. Even Kiriko who tried to taunt them received no reply. Great. I snorted out before resting on the boat again. Wait. Did I just snort out like a damn horse? Snowy white fur turned red on my cheeks, warming me up. Ughhh.


Kiriko nudged against my chest, “Are you still going to take the risk?”


“Well… I mean…” I hesitated, “Why would they stop me from helping?”


“I don’t know. You think I know what their deal was?”


I peered upwards, “I mean if we trace back the events, you’ve been cursed because you didn’t try and save your community right? So ultimately, the spirits wanted you to continue good deeds with your powers.”


“Right…”


“And so am I not helping my community by helping Freja?”


“But what happens if she turns…”


I giggled, “Then I’ll just fix everyone up in my lab,” My ears twitched, hearing her breathing slowing down, “Ah she’s probably asleep now. Let me do my magic.”


Getting up, I winked back at Kiriko who held a hesitant expression. Honestly, I still didn’t understand how all of this worked. Spirits changing people into animals in the guise of blessings was something that came from a fantasy novel. Like those Children’s folk tales that served to scare little children into doing work.


Yet following what Kiriko said, these spirits shouldn’t curse Freja like they did with me. They were benevolent spirits that wanted others to bring good to the world - even in their weird twisted ways.


Taking the step forward, Freja was now resting by the ship’s wall. Her breathing finally stabilized. She still made the occasional groans of pain but otherwise she was unconsciously sleeping. Oh my, what could’ve possibly taken down one of our strongest agents?


I nudged her crossbow to the side, making way for me to bend over. I didn't know how all of this worked but I could feel it in my horn. Energy that built up within its tip. Glancing behind, I found Kiriko peeking from behind, still carrying that worried expression.


Muttering under my breath, I asked, “So spirits, are you going to mess this up and potentially kill an innocent person?”


Us? Kill? Mercy, we have extended our hand and shared with you our blessings. One that people would kill to have - to heal all wounds in mere seconds instead of months. And you dare question us?


“So what about me? Why did you have to,” I slowed down my voice, mocking their tone, “ ‘share your blessings’ with me?”


For you were disrupting our punishment. Punishment for that little vixen in the corner.


Snorting out, I glanced down at the injured Freja. Their argument seemed fair enough. With the cold breeze brushing against my thick fur - surprisingly having no reaction towards it - I steeled my resolve and leaned forward.


Warmth gathered around the horn, glowing even brighter than before. In its golden hue, it was akin to the sun shining its rays down upon me, a mesmerizing scene. And so I tapped against her wound. I prayed that this would go smoothly.


Freja’s breathing now slowed down more. Her grunts of pain stopped as her expression relaxed. There, I bit against her clothes and pulled them a little to the side, just to see how her wound was doing. Bullets that had shot through her were now getting pulled out on its own, almost getting rejected from the body itself.


Her skin regained its natural hue. Skin reemerging and joining up together to form a seamless body. I let out a sigh of relief as my body relaxed. Hell, even my tail joined in to wag. Always proud to see a patient healing.


Slowly, Kiriko snuck behind me before asking, “Oh wow, it actually worked?”


“Yeah… guess the spirits weren’t so evil to curse her after all,” I turned around, glancing by the corner that we rested by, “Well, let’s head back bef-”


“Err Mercy, is her skin supposed to be brown?”


“Brown?” Immediately, I faced Freja with all the color on my face fading into white. I slammed against the floor, once again reminding myself how my fingers were now useless stubby hooves. What the hell was I looking at? Why was she growing fur? The voices promptly echoed on cue.


See we kept to our promise. We did heal her up like you asked for. We just added a little extra blessing in the mix.


“Why the hell did you do that?” My voice crept up in volume. Just enough for her to not wake up, “She did nothing wrong, you jackasses!”


We agree. She was completely innocent. It was just that well, we wouldn’t want our Unicorn here to misuse her powers, do we now?


I glared down at the fur sprouting around her wound. Not this shit again. What sort of animal was she becoming now? Kiriko was also panicking a little, chiming in, “What’s wrong with that? Didn’t all of you grant her this blessing? Why couldn’t she use i-”


Silence.


That one word shook both of us to the core till we froze up. Even just moving felt impossible under their watch like their presence was weighing down on us, watching us from beyond.


You two think that you are in a position to argue with us? Like we mentioned, we would heal her up and that is what we did. But now you’re getting angry that we gave her our blessings? Who are you to demand that? A fellow spirit?


No! You two are but followers for us. Followers for us to exert our influence onto the real world. Any sort of healing, any sort of help that you seek or any demands that you have are all subjected to us. And we will bless foolish mortals such as yourselves to become animals. Whether you like it or not.


That is how we started. That is how you’ll continue our traditions.


The immense pressure that accompanied their words vanished with silence filling their place. Rage filled my veins. Animals as blessings? What nonsense was this? Their sick minds couldn’t even fathom that not everyone wants to be an animal on all fours and yet they choose to twist our bodies to their pleasure?


I couldn’t even bite down my lips with my upper teeth aligning perfectly against my lower ones. This was an actual prison for me and now they wanted to extend this ‘courtesy’ towards Freja? Kiriko suddenly nudged against my hoof, now with a quivering muzzle, “What do we do now, Mercy?”


Turning my attention towards Freja, I let out a sigh. What else was there to do other than to watch her change into one of us. A powerless animal…


Her body stiffened up as she shifted her body to the front. Still unconscious, she moved around her arms and legs out, completely unaware that she was changing. Her bloody clothes began to rip.


I wanted to look away. Avert my eyes away from my sin. Changing her into a horse, unknowingly, gnawed against my conscience. But I couldn’t. This was my fault and even if it meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, I had to atone in these small little ways.


But what was I supposed to do there? Let her die from her wounds? See one of my colleagues perish in the line of work? I became a doctor to help people. To heal them and let them return back to society. And now with magical powers to heal people, I now couldn’t use them to help others? Not at the cost of their humanity that was.  


Tears brimmed around my eyelids.


I… I just… wanted to help her. Was that too much to ask for?  


Lying on her back now, she let out a couple grunts. Muscles soon swelled up around her chest. Growing thicker, her shirt burst out, revealing how far fur had spread across her body - festering mostly around her growing gut. Maybe it was better that she didn’t know about this now. She wasn’t the type to enjoy it in the first place.


Her ginger hair darkened into a chestnut brown shade. Much like her fur. Kiriko still held the same worried look, darting back between me and Freja. Bet she blamed herself for starting this chain as her tail came to a halt.


What’s the problem with you two? Aren’t you glad you are getting a new friend?


“Friend? As an animal like us? You’re fucking sick in the head to think we’ll be happy!” I shouted, stomping against the ground.


Oh that reminds me!  


Her joints cracked, causing her limbs to be locked in a weird angle. Perpendicular towards the ground. That just ruled out anything bipedal - not like these spirits were ever interested in that in the first place.


Instead of growing larger, her breasts sunk into her chest, flattening out while she shook her head. Each shake only accelerated the changes, stretching her neck further. Fur sprouted in the corners of her neck. Wait, was that?


Indeed, Mercy! Since you used magic on her, she’ll be the same species as you! Isn’t that nice?


I glanced down at my body. Clumsy useless hooves only useful for walking, a big clunky body that couldn’t fit in any room, instincts to chew disgusting grass as food and walking on all fours with no possibility of walking on two legs. She was becoming like me? My heart ached even harder.


At least Kiriko could try and use her paws for daily life. Winston better turn us back because I wouldn’t fathom living my life as a mare…


Going back to her changes, her frame doubled in size. As her height increased by a couple of inches, her mouth opened to reveal sharper teeth flattening in an instant. Her skull shape also morphed drastically, giving little curves while pushing her mouth out, elongating it longer and longer till it was a full maw like mine.


Her ears sharpened, shifting upwards, followed up by her nose encapsulating her new maw out. While her nostrils flared out, I could immediately tell her scent was morphing. From the human scents, it now resembled mine being emitted around the air.


A gust of wind brushed against her fur. In response, her belly swelled larger. The fur surrounding it soon thickened and grew brighter. She returned to her original position with her expression souring out.


Her larger body now rocked back and forth, trying to find a perfect spot to rest. And yet, that never happened.


The boat suddenly rocked to the right, startling the two of us. Kiriko tumbled onto the ground, still with the same look of pity, I instead maintained my balance with my hooves neatly heeling into the ground.


Interestingly, Freja’s body fell up right, making her stand on all fours with her hands and legs supporting her. Her clothes, now in tatters, dropped off her larger frame. Glancing back at her face, her ears had successfully been formed, twitching around in the brown shade. Meanwhile, her breathing grew louder, snorting with every breath as her eyes widened apart from one another.


By this point, only her lower back looked remotely human. Her upper front had just been covered in fur, her head now appeared to be in the shape of her horse yet still with mostly human skin. That was quickly fixed within a blink of an eye once another gust of chilly wind brushed her maw.


Her weight had now doubled or tripled especially with that large gut and firm chest muscles in place. Limbs now trembled under such immense weight, threatening to fall at any second now. To remedy this, her veins bulged out from the sudden growth around her arms.


This in turn accelerated the changes around her fingers. Well… not fingers anymore when they merged between one another. I watched her slender digits fused with one another - from five to four to two then finally one clunk that supported her weight.


Another point to prick my heart about, I gulped down in shame. Her fingers were officially gone. Quickly, the clunk thickened and sharpened into a silver shade, similar to mine.


Likewise, her other hand and feet morphed similarly. Her balance stabilised substantially. Still sleeping, she let out a grunt, “Ughh, ge-get away!” Her voice grew deeper, the last patches of fur now swarming around her rear end.


Her ass bumped up in size, causing her privates to shift upwards in the meantime. I blushed hard. Seeing her pussy and asshole right in front of me only made me feel self conscious about mine.


No, I shouldn’t be thinking about that. She had just changed into a horse because of me, why was I thinking about her equine private parts now? I shook my head.


Is little Mercy trying to fight against her urges?


Urges? I blinked. Shit. These spirits truly wanted to rip away everything that made me human - from my human body to my rational thoughts. It was so subtle that I didn’t realize it was happening, corroding my thoughts into like an animal.


Whatever you say Mercy. Remember this is our blessing to you.


Kiriko now growled back at them, “Oh just shut up! Mercy never wanted this.”


Need us to remind who spread our blessings?
The fox clicked against her tongue, sighing. Curling into a ball of floof, she hung her head down, refusing to look at me.


Stretching down, I licked against her furry body, “Hey Kiriko, this is not your fault, alright? You wouldn’t have known this would happen to me.”


“Yeah, yeah, I know,” She grumbled, “But still, it felt bad.”


A sudden thump echoed from Freja, prompting us to glance back. Her hooves tapped against the ship, her expression still wincing where she continued to grunt, “N-no! Ju-just di-die already!”


Her scent, now fully equine, urged me to connect with her. No, this must be one of my stupid instincts. Horse instincts trying to herd up and be together of some sort. By this point, she was almost fully a mare, aside from some important aspects.


On cue, her tail sprouted from above her ass, covering her privates out. It fell stiff immediately after appearing. Not as thick in fur as mine however.


As Kiriko stepped forward, her nose wiggled as her ears twitched upwards. She immediately went underneath the large horse. Her eyes now blinking at her swelling breasts, positioned right after her larger belly, “Oh Mercy, do you remember this?”


“Oh shut up,” I squealed. Did she have to remind me of my leaky breasts? God, she knew how to suck them, “Get off there before she wakes up.”


“Fine, fine,” She stepped out, her tail now returned to its normal pace of wagging, “Now what?”


“Now we wait, I guess?”


Immediately after saying it, Freja groaned, “Ughhhh. The hell was th-” She raised one of her hooves, trying to rub her eyes, before immediately placing it back down. Her eyes widened larger than ever, scanning the area and seeing even us, “What the fuck just happened?”


She stomped against the ship, her tail’s swishing hastened up, her mind was in a frenzy, “No, no, no this can’t be happening to me!”


Turning around, she shouted, “And where the fuck did you two come from? You guys shouldn’t even be on this ship! Shoo! Scram!”


“Umm…” Kiriko patted me on my ass, “I’ll let you handle this.”


 I nodded, walking towards the newly changed Freja, “What the hell was that? Why is there a talking fox? And why are you here? Did you curse me?”


“Freja, just calm down.”


“Calm down? One minute, I was on my death bed, trying to go back to headquarters and the next I was turned into this,” She glared at her own body, “This clunky heavy ass body that couldn’t even move. And how the fuck did you know my name?”


“It’s me, Mercy.”


“Mercy?” She slowed down her voice, “Why are you… a horse with that weird horn on your head now?”


I glanced away, "It's a long story but basically I’ve been turned into a unicorn by spirits.”


“Spirits?


“Supernatural ones.”


Her stomach growled, causing her to blush, “Sorry. But there’s no such thing as that, right? You have a Phd in whatever science field, you should kno-”


Know what? Know that we don’t exist.


Freja went pale. Goosebumps appeared on her fur, “What was that?”


The spirits that you’ve in turn believe to be fake. If we didn’t exist, you wouldn’t even be talking right now, foolish mortal.


“Am I the only one that’s hearing this shit?” She raised her hoof, pointing at me whilst trembling, “Why are there voices in my head all of a sudden?”


“That would be the spirits.”


And we had given you our blessings to turn into something greater than just being human.


“Ok shut the fuck up! I never wanted this blessing so just take it back and leave me alone!”


And we never wanted to give it to you. But someone here decided to spread the joy, passing you our blessing in the process.


“Mercy, what the hell are they saying?”


I hung my head low. Shit. I knew the truth had to come out but this was… less than ideal. Freja didn’t need to know all this now. Was hoping to break the news slower but these spirits would do anything to fuck my plans over.


“So when we found you, we saw that you were bleeding out. And seeing that I’m a unicorn,” I bowed down, showing my horn, “I wanted to heal you back up. But in the process…”


We lent our hand to little Mercy here, healing you while improving your body along the way.


Freja’s expression tensed up after hearing the words. Her eyes stared down at me. Shit, what was I supposed to tell her now? Just seeing her new body already made me feel guilty. What more could she possibly want from me? For me to ignore her dying body?


Fortunately, her face relaxed, “Oh calm down Mercy, I’m not going to blame you for this. You saved me after all.”


“You fucking spirits on the other hand,” She raised her voice, “You twisted Mercy’s act of kindness into this sick fucking joke of it. Change me back right this instant!”


Looks like we have quite a feisty one in our hands.


“I said!”


I immediately stepped forward, nudging against her hooves, “Hey, stop that! You don’t understand how strong they are!”


“Mercy!” Her eyes brimmed with tears, “We’ve just been changed into fucking animals. Why aren’t you mad at them?”


“Because… because I’m more scared of them. They just changed our human bodies into this, what makes you think they won’t do more?”


“Still!”


“Just calm down, we’re already going to headquarters and Winston will be there to help us, alright? Let’s just keep our heads cool an-”


She shook her head, “No, no, that would mean letting them win. And we don’t fucking deserve it,” She raised back to her shouting voice, “Do you fucking hear me? Change us back now! All of us!”


Don’t test our patience, young one. This is our last and final warning!


“And what are you going to do to us? Fucking spirits who can’t even reveal themselves! You guys are fucking cowards! Only changing us because of your sick twisted neighs!” She caught her final word though I understood it as ‘fantasies’, “Neigh? Neigh! Neigh! Ne-neigh! Neigh!”


Oh blessed child, you deserve this.


“Neighhhhh Neig-neigh!” Freja snorted, “Neigh!” I immediately understood it as ‘Fuck off! What the fuck have you done to my voice? I’m not a fucking mare!’ I blinked down at Kiriko, thinking that she heard the same as me.


Her confused expression said otherwise. Nudging against my hooves, she raised one of her eyebrows, “Mercy, why do you look like you still understand her?”


“Because I do.”


“You don’t hear her neighing out loud?”


I shook my head, “No, no, I still hear them. But weirdly, I can understand them,” Freja’s ears twitched before she glanced towards me. Her helpless eyes watched over me, whimpering out a bray.


Someone with such a vulgar mouth as yourself perfectly exudes what animals are meant to be. Free from whatever societal constraints that you pesky humans have placed upon yourself!


Freja’s eyes burned brighter. Although her body trembled, she still raised her left hoof and slammed it against the ship’s floor. Shouting and screaming with all of her animal sounds. Guilt pinched me once again. Even with her forgiveness, it was hard to release that feeling. That I caused her pain.


Her stomach growled suddenly, stopping her tantrum.


Oh Freja, don’t worry about all of this. You’ll be much happier eating grass once we reach land.


“Nei?” She glanced back at me, “Neig…neighh?” which I heard as ‘What? Mercy, this isn’t true, right?’


Walking up to her, a bitter feeling coated around my heart. What could I even say here? With a pained expression, I merely told her, “Yeah… we eat grass now.”


Refusing to look in my eye, trembles passed through her body like a shock had just flowed down. She grunted softly.


I paced around her, “Don’t worry though. We were heading back to Headquarters for Winston to help and fix us. Who knows maybe we’ll turn back?”


“Neigh?” Her eyes lit back up.


“Yeah, that’s why we boarded this ship in the first place,” I nodded. Though a silent doubt whispered in the back of my mind, I pushed it all aside. Right now, what we needed was hope. Despair could come later when she had adjusted more steadily, “Anyways, let me teach you how to walk. Can’t have you dragging us behind, can we?”


For the first time, she cracked a smile, snorting out a laugh. From there, I taught her how to walk, showing each step one at a time while Kiriko watched from the background. For a smaller fox, she curled and huddled against her own thick fur, just to conserve heat across the ocean.


Freja, unexpectedly, had much more trouble walking. Her constant neighs were the same complaints of how big and clunky her body was. Each time she stepped, it always felt like she was about to trip. About to crash leaning against one or the other side of her body.


I couldn’t say the same however. After getting the hang of walking and tasting sprinting, there was no doubt that this body was superior to my old human self physically. If I had tried to sprint within my old self, I would be panting after a minute. What really bothered me was all that stupid fucking primal instincts.


Occasionally, I found myself in a trance, staring behind Freja’s ass. Tingles assaulted my pussy, tempting me for some ‘self exploration’. Or how I wanted to talk about sex with a fellow mare, trying to ask her to ‘experiment’ with me. Didn’t help that I had these damn clumsy hooves for hands…


I shook them all away obviously. But they lingered like that bitter grass that I had all the way back.


Finally after an hour, she could start walking.


“Neigh,” was followed up with a grunt as she explored the ship. Her balance was still unsteady.  


“Yes, yes, Freja, I know you might be a little clunky and big now but just imagine turning back to your agile self after this.”


She flashed me a smile before leaning against the wall and closed her eyes. Soon enough, she realized horses don’t sleep on the side… they sleep standing up. And so while standing next to me, both of us soon fell asleep.


When the ship finally reached the port, we snuck out of the ship and made our way towards the headquarters. Once we found grass, the two of us were lured by the grass and just chomped it down. (Completely on instinct. I wasn’t even hungry when we reached.)


“Neigh…neigh. Neigh.” which translated to ‘Fucking hell, imagine eating grass on the OW place. Are you sure, Mercy, we can't eat anything else?’


Gulping down grass, I groaned, “Ughh… I mean I have never tried anything else yet.”


“Neigh…Neighhhh!” She stomped onto the ground, lamenting on how she could never eat meat again. Another salt to the wound I supposed.


Kiriko soon stepped in and interrupted our conversation, “Sorry to interrupt your conversation but… it's getting dark now. We should probably get going before they close.”


We nodded after chomping on the final patch of grass. Hated how this body had me yearning for grass. Grass. Literal grass around us like I was an animal.


That’s because you are one, Mercy. A pretty unicorn with all of your urges and instincts!


Immediately, I kicked against one of the trees, causing branches to fall with a loud bellow. The other two looked back at me. Their eyes filled with sympathy and shock from my reaction. I just… I fucking… This was fucking too much. They were now just toying within my head, mocking my current circumstance as if they had not done this to me.


My anger faded when I could see the familiar outline of HQ. Please let this work. Freja tapped against the ground, her tail wagging faster, rubbing against my body. I glanced away. Couldn’t let her see my blushes…


“Oh Mercy, what’s that I see?”


“Shut it, Kiriko!” I hissed, “Quit stalling and go find some way for us to enter.”


She nodded with a wide grin emerging from her muzzle. Leaving the two of us behind, her footsteps barely made a sound despite how quickly she moved. Honestly, a tinge of jealousy sprouted within me before shaking my head. What nonsense was I thinking?


“Neigh?” Freja snuck up from behind me.


“Oh right. I just asked Kiriko to find a way into the HQ.”


She nodded and brayed a little. Fuck… my heart pounded against my chest. She was way too close to me and I… no, this damn body… wanted more of her. I stepped aside, “Ah sorry, it's a little hot with the two of us together.”


She raised her eyebrow and gave a whiny.


“No, no, it's not you Freja. It’s all going to be fine once Winston helps us change back, alright?”


The door suddenly opened on its own. Behind its dark panels were Kiriko’s eyes arching up as her muzzle held an access card within it. Sweat dripped from the smaller fox’s body, “Didn’t think it was that easy to enter through the vents. You guys sure this isn’t some sort of security risk.”


“Nei,” Freja glared down at her.


“Well I me-”


“Alright guys, let’s just find Winston first! We can discuss the ‘security risk’ down the line,” I hastened the conversation, stepping into the old building, “That gorilla is probably still researching something in the basement.”


Within the tight corridors of the office, her smell infiltrated my much more sensitive nostrils. Fuck. Had to stop thinking about Freja like this. Scenes of Kiriko’s drinking down my milk replayed in my mind. Shit. The pleasure and thrill were all returning back to me.


I shook my thoughts out. All of these pesky instincts were acting up much more than I had ever expected. There, we finally reached Winston’s office. That doubtful whisper was now talking louder than ever. Why weren’t the spirits stopping us now?


“What do you want? I’m busy ove-Oh,” He turned around, raising his glasses up, “What are you three doing here?”


Opening the door, he tried to shoo us away, “I don’t know how you animals get into this place but you should leave.”


“Winston, please help us!” Kiriko snuck under his legs and entered through his lab, “Please, you’re the only person that can change us back.”


He adjusted his glasses, “Kiriko? Is that you?”


“Yes!” She jumped onto his desk, filled with conceptions and items.


Massaging against his temples, he shook his head, muttering words out. The confusion of his face was clear as day, “Ah and you two must be some Overwatch members. Come in, come in,” He waved us in.


While Freja excitedly stepped into his lad, apprehension was chaining my hoov-no legs down. Something about this felt weird. Whatever, it was probably just my paranoia.


Stepping into his large lab, Winston quickly grabbed some of his equipment before returning, “And you two must be.”


“I’m Mercy and she is…” Freja neighed out only for Winston to look at her in confusion. Guess that meant only I could understand her, “Freja.”


“Right so tell me Mercy how did you change into this?”


That’s when I gave him a brief recap of what happened for the past two days, explaining that Kiriko was cursed by spirits up till my healing powers were twisted into changing Freja into a mare. He nodded along, still giving me the same look of concern and compassion.


“And yeah so that’s why we’re here to meet you, since you know you’re a…”


“Talking animal?”


“Yeah that…”


He rubbed between his eyes, “Mercy, I do want to temper your expectations. You realize I was born this way, right? Not changed like the rest of you.”


“I understand that but you’re our best hope of changing back,” I paused. Wait, what was my plan again? I knew I needed Winston to help me but somehow I forgot the thread. Slowly, I recalled the plan. Right, I needed to return to my old lab for the cure before answering, “I need you to help me design some tools for me to find a cure.”


Freja neighed and snorted immediately.


“Yes, yes, I know I said that Winston could change us back but he isn’t specialised in biology like I am,” I pointed out, “Just need him to create the items for our adjustments, alright?”


She calmed down, still glaring at me in the eye.


“With that said, I supposed we can talk about sleeping plans now,” He petted Kiriko on the head where she nuzzled against his larger hands. Hands that I used to have… “For this little scrap, she probably can sleep wherever she likes in the building. Will probably have a designated sleeping bed for you once all of this settles down.”


Kiriko yipped in delight, curling up in front of the heater in his lab.


“As for you two, you need to sleep inside our stables.”


Freja immediately slammed her hoof against the ground, “NEIGH!”


“Calm down, Freja,” I firmly said before turning to the gorilla, “Sorry about her outburst, but about that, we have stables?”


He nodded, “Yeah, some of the newer recruits have powers with farm animals or something. Not too sure on the details but we built a stable close to the building. Do you mind?”


“Of course we mind. Why does she get to sleep in the building while we have to sleep in some stable like feral horses!” I said as Freja backed me up with disgruntled snorts.


Kiriko’s ears perked up, hearing our conflict, “I mean if you two don’t like living in stables, where would you two sleep in?”


“I don’t know…” I stuttered with Freja braying, “Just anywhere better than living out in the wild.”


Her eyes darted to the side, “What about your… other needs?”


“Sorry?”


She gulped, “You know I really didn’t want to say this but… I’ve lived with my mother for such a long time that I figured out how to handle my other needs.”


“Go on.”


“Just think about it. Like how would you…” She stumbled,  “do your business within this building or at night?”


I stepped back. She had a point. But sleeping in those stables like an actual animal devoid of an actual sheltered place… felt humiliating. Ridding me of the basic necessities as a human. Fucking hell…


Freja tried to counteract, grunting and snorting out a simple answer, “Neigh. Neig-neigh?”


“Sorry, what is she saying?” Kiriko asked, both of them tilted their heads to the left.


“Basically, she just said we will figure out a way. Don’t shove us outside just because we’re mares.”


“I mean…” Freja’s stomach grumbled once again, causing a blush to surface up, “See if we’re in the stables, you two could eat to your delight.”


“And I won’t lock the doors so you two can roam freely if you want at night,” Winston chimed in, he gave both of us a shot of pity, “Trust us, if we had the option to, I would love for you two to stay here.”


I lowered my head. Fuck. Another loss of my humanity, having to stay in stables instead of staying in an actual building? I had a whole lab inside here; one that I used to sleep on my desk doing late night research, and I couldn’t even stay there. Not with these stupid fucking body.


Freja was more accepting however. Nodding along with a resigned look, she whined in one last futile protest.


“Mercy, are you alright with this?”


“What other choice do we have?” My words accompanied by my bitterness, “Just lead the way.”


He nodded, leading up the stairs. Kiriko tagged along and followed, nudging against my warmer body, “Mercy, are you alright?”


“I’m fine, alright. Just… pissed at this whole situation.”


“Same. I just wished these damn spirits didn’t exist in the first place.”


And we wished that you could use your blessings for good. Not to become some ordinary person and neglecting the weak. Alas, this form suited you much better than as a hero. Weak, cowardly and frail like the fox you always were.


“Neigh!” Freja suddenly snorted, telling the spirits to fuck off. At this point, I was certain that these were not benevolent spirits but malicious ones, posing as good spirits. Why else would they be so obsessed with torturing us?


“Woah, calm down Freja,” Winston turned around, tapping his card and opening the doors out of the main building.


As a soft grunt escaped her maw, Winston walked us down the trail and showcased the stable. Freshly built and stocked with amenities, he pushed the door open with dim lights illuminating the area, “So this is where you’ll stay,”


Pointing at the multiple empty stables, he continued, “And this is where you’ll sleep. It isn’t the prettiest but it gets the job done.”


“Right.”


“And there’s a button to press if you need any help,” Pointing to the red button on one of the tables, “Food’s outside with fresh grass and I think that should wrap things up. Any questions?”


We shook our heads.


“Great. I’ll be heading back now, good night Mercy and Freja!” Winston walked away, yawning. Knowing him, he was going to pull another all-nighter, trying to create new equipment for us.


Kiriko nudged against one of my hooves suddenly, “Don’t get too feisty with her, alright?”


I blushed, “Kiriko!”


“What?” She cocked her head to the side, “Don’t try to lie to me, your pheromones are leaking all over the damn place.”


“What pheromones?"


“Do I really need to spell it out with you?”


My blush reddened up immediately, “Fine, I get it. It's not like I can do anything with these hooves.”


“Fair enough,” She winked back, “But if you need any help releasing… tension, I’m always here, alright?”


“Oh just get out already!”


On cue, the fox leaped through the multiple fences, leaving me and Freja alone in our respective stables. Fuck. Was it that obvious that I was horny? This stupid damn body just kept insisting in different ways that I… hated. I was being strung along like a puppet to these urges. These primal feelings that just kept stirring within my mind.


The lights flickered off soon after. Now under the twilight beside Freja, I closed my eyes, forcing myself to sleep. No. I wasn’t going to succumb to these feelings. These thoughts that only plagued my mind. Not some feral mare that’s only searching for sex.


“Nei-neigh?” Freja suddenly asked, turning her head to face me.


“Yeah, I’m still not sleeping yet. What do you want to say?”


She softly tapped against the ground, “Ne…neigh…Neigh”, thanking me for saving her this afternoon. She had honestly believed she was going to die on that ship if we weren’t there.


“At least you’re safe now…”


“Neigh!” She snorted out, kicking the hay underneath her. Yeah, she was predictably upset at this. She continued with several disgruntled snorts and groans, complaining about how she hated how big and fat this body was. And that she missed how agile she used to be, adding a couple of curses against the spirits.


“Nei-nei-neigh! Neighhhh ne- neigh!” Freja ended.


“Oh um… I don’t need you to do anything for me, alright?” Once again, these feelings stirred up within me. She just said if there’s anything she could do for me, she would do it immediately, as thanks for saving her life.


Oh Mercy, why are you lying about your feelings?


“Shut up!” I stomped onto the ground, “These are all your feelings fucking injected and infecting my brain. Don’t you dare tell me these are my feelings!”


Oh Mercy, just accept it as part of your blessings, alright? As a mare (a unicorn no less), you will have your needs met and this is merely one of them. Fortunately, Freja is here to help you!


“Neigh?” Her eyes widened. Under the stars, her pussy twitched unnaturally. Her sweet scent morphed into a deeper and earthy smell. Oh no, what the fuck are they doing to her?


Completely red now, my jaw detached to my face as I watched her grow a long girthy cock. An equine one that stretched much further than any cocks I’ve seen. My thoughts turned upon themselves.


Tingles surrounded my pussy. My breath hastened up. Oh fuck… this was wrong of me. I shook my head. This was wrong of me, I shouldn’t be having these thoughts. This was all because of these spirits!


Another whiny escaped from Freja; her crotch breasts jiggled around her now erect dick while she tapped against the floor, not knowing what to do.


Freja dear, do you know why you’ve been blessed with a huge cock?


She shook her head.


Mercy needs someone big and strong to relieve this horny feeling she’s in. Won’t you help her?


“Neigh,” She glanced back at me, her beady eyes blinking back.


“I’m sorry, Freja. I didn’t even know this shit would happen! I swear!”


Now, now, if you want it gone, you’ll have to use it, alright dear? If not, you’ll be carrying that 15 inch cock wherever you’ll go. Maybe you’ll become a good breeding stud for the future.


My friend closed her eyes, shaking her head. But mine were still affixed on her new appendage. Images of her ramming it into me flashed in my mind. My legs trembled. Shit. What do I do now? I couldn’t possibly be thinking of having sex with her, right?


Freja pushed against the door and entered my stable. My tail immediately raised, revealing my bare sex. Was there any hiding it at this point?


“Neigh, neigh!” She said she could feel it throb and twitch beneath her large body, “Neighhhhhh neighhhhhhh.” And that she was so fucking horny now.


Another part of my humanity just died within me. Having sex as wild animals within a fucking stable. The worst part was I wanted it. I wanted her dick to shove right into my pussy deep! A tear rolled down my fur before I neighed, nodding my head.


She soon mounted over me.


Our fur touched against one another, sharing the heat between the two of us. Her tail was visibly wagging at the thought of it while her face had signs of jealousy.


“Ready whenever you are, Freja,” I said, combining resignation and excitement.


My fluids squirted onto the floor immediately the moment her large cock made contact with my ridges. Never in my life had I felt such immense pleasure. Such a rush of dopamine as she stretched my pussy deeper. Despite the size being much bigger, I was capable of handling all of its size.


Every inch of my feminine ridges rubbed against her massive cock. The pleasure was intoxicating, making me addicted and want more from her. Pulling out, I turned around and instinctually let out a whiny. My pussy leaking out its fluids.


And she delivered.


Thrusting her hips deep into me, moans escaped out of my ma-mouth. Loud ones that scared away any small critters in the region. Her cock stretched deeper until it hit that golden zone. Flames ignited within my pussy. Now I wanted something to fill me up. To permanently keep my satiated.


By the third or fourth time she rammed into me, I spotted precum leaking out of her own cock. Her bellows and groans climbed in volume. Almost like she was the horse dominating over me. To prove that I was underneath her.


Pleasure continued to hike up. Thoughts became hard to form - only basic urges remained - as the spirits taunted me.


See, isn’t that nicer to give into your needs? Honestly, as a unicorn, you shouldn’t have sex with Freja in the first place. But you were so horny and needy that we couldn’t help ourselves, you know?


I let my tongue out, my eyes going in a daze. I could hear them, yes. But I couldn’t understand the words they were saying. Especially when her cock kept shoving into me over and over again.


Both of our bodies trembled from pure delight. Euphoria even. My whole sense of self eroded in the moment from the waves of pleasures, crashing against it in the same rhythmic pattern.


One Out. Two In.


Soon enough, Freja had a pained expression, like she was holding something the whole time. Her face soured when I glanced back. Alright, time to have some fun with her.


I leaned backwards, allowing her mighty cock to push deeper into my cervix. Shocks temporarily overwhelmed me as I froze in that position. So much ecstasy.


There, her pacing slowed down. Her thrusts were getting harder. My slower mind connected the dots eventually, that she was going to cum deep inside me once this was done.


“Ple… please… C…Cum… i…in me!” I demanded between baited breaths.


On cue, she did so. The strongest thrust out of the rest thus far with cum gushing out of her cock. Both of us moaned together in union. A climatic orgasm rushed down our bodies. My mind went completely blank at that moment. Couldn’t think, couldn’t move, only just experiencing all of that warm cum deep inside my pussy.


She soon mounted off of me, gasping for air. Her body, still shaking from the orgasm, only appeared sexier to me. No! This had gone on too long! I wasn’t some horny dumb feral horse! Gah! Even the words I was thinking just sounded simpler by the second. Her long hanging dick disappeared away, leaving behind her completely soaked pussy. Cum still dripping out from her private parts.


“N-N-Neigh…” Freja pouted a little, saying that she wanted to be fucked instead… Felt sorry for her at that moment but I wouldn’t lie, the enjoyment from that fucking scene was immeasurable. I couldn’t even describe it in words.


While we both continued to pant, my mind just replayed the scenes over and over again. The rush. The thrill. The delight of getting rammed. I was certain my face was crimson red just from thinking about it in the dark.


I shook out of those thoughts. Tomorrow, I will make a cure with whatever gadgets Winston made for us. I could feel my humanity slipping away, contaminated and plagued by primal urges and instincts.


And before I knew it, I had already fallen asleep. Visions of Freja mounting me and fucking me all over again acted as my dreams. Waking up in shock, the sun had started to rise as I galloped towards Winston’s lab. Just before any of the other employees could make it to work.


“Winston! Are you done?”


The gorilla woke up from his desk, drool on his face as brand new equipment scattered on the table, “Pfggg?” He rubbed against his eyes, grabbing his glasses from the side. With a yawn, he continued, “Good Morning Mercy.”


“Yes, good morning to you too Winston.”


Stretching his body, he showed me a little device - one that resembled those mini microphones, “Alright for the first equipment, I got you girls a little translating device. Just to talk to people,” He attached it around my neck, “Try speaking through the mic.”


“Hello?” A robotic imitation of my voice echoed through the speaker, “Wait, but aren’t I speaking in English now?”


“Nah, you’re neighing right now,” He chuckled, “Neighing that I supposed only animals like us could understand.”


“Then what about?”


“Her? Freja’s case is different, not even I could understand what she’s saying. Supposedly that curse that she’s under is much stronger than even my ears could decipher. Still hopefully these mics could help with that and we could finally talk without needing you to translate.”


“Right,” I scanned the room now after the adrenaline wore off. Kirko was still sleeping by the corner, right in front of the fire source while his lab still had scraps of metal lying around on the floor. Must be a long night for him I supposed, “I’m sure someone like you couldn’t be satisfied with just making one equipment.”


“Got me there, Mercy,” He shambled towards a box, covered in a red cloak. Unveiling it, he exclaimed, “Just scraped together a pair of prosthetic arms for you,” A pair of robotic arms shined under the light.


I dashed towards it. The design resembled my old hero outfit with its yellow and orange hues. Taking it out of the box, he plucked it onto my large torso. There I winced as an injection pierced through my nerves.


“Yikes, should’ve told you that it was going to hurt,” His expression soured, “But try moving your arms now.”


Turning back, I watched as the heavy arms weighed against my torso. Freja definitely would’ve hated how heavy and bulky it was. But just like moving my old arms, the new prosthetic ones followed my commands to a tee. Flipping my new hands, clapping and even doing punches were as smooth as before.


“Oh my god, I can’t thank you enough, Winston!” My voice rose a little too loud, waking the fox up.


“That’s the least I could do to help you, Mercy,” He rubbed against his eyes, “But I think I’m going to crash out soon so probably won’t be helping much with the cure.”


“Right, right, that’s totally fine. Have a good rest, Winston!” I charged right back up to the stairs, grabbing his access cards and heading straight back to my lab. Finally, I could try and reverse this stupid curse, from these fucking spirits and turn back to normal.


Tapping the access card, a familiar smell of the lab infiltrated my nose. Dust covered the place up, probably because I left it unused for about a year or so. Everything just froze in place. The various prosthetic equipment on display, my computer with all of the lab reports, the microscopes that I had begged the company to buy were all intact.


Alright. Enough indulging in my nostalgia, I had work to do.


Switching on my computer, I quickly realized with how clunky my hands were, typing down letters on a keyboard was much harder than expected. Felt awkward to do it with such big fingers that spanned behind me.


Oh Mercy, what do you think you’re doing?


I hesitated. Shit. Not these spirits again.


We’re always watching, you know Mercy? Why are you trying to hide your intentions to us?


“And you’re still asking?” I snorted, “What’s the point of even asking me such a question if you already fucking knew the answer.”


Just want to ensure that you’re doubling down on your sins against us.


“Sins? What sins have I even committed? Helping others?”


Some sins are not evil in nature. A doctor like you should know this principle. But there’s a rule of conduct for these actions.


“Yeah right. I took the oath to help people not change them into freaks like me,” I rolled my eyes, “But go on, tell me how much I had sinned.”


One final chance, Mercy. You can turn back now and we’ll turn a blind eye to this rebellion


“Rebellion?”


Yes, rebellion. To try and reverse our blessings, morphing them into curses. That’s your sin against us. To throw away what had been given to you instead of appreciating and accepting one’s fate.


“Oh fuck right off, you spirits. You don’t even fucking know what’s your talking about? Just look at how many people you’ve harmed already.”


The lights flickered in the room. I turned around with goosebumps appearing on my fur. What the fuck were they doing to my lab? Objects began to shake and levitate like a gust of wind were spiralling within the lab.


“Wait, wait, what do you think you’re doing?”


Just making sure our blessings are permanent.


My new prosthetic arms fell limp to the side. No. This couldn’t be happening. Why were they fucking ruining everything that I wanted to do? I just… I just wanted to help people and this was what I got?


You should’ve helped them in the right way then.


“No!” I slammed my hoof against the ground, “I’m not fucking buying any of your bullshit. This is your fault for fucking ruining everything that we had. We are people not some of your toys to play around, you sick fucks!”


Oh Mercy, what’s the use of having a tantrum now? We aren’t going to change back because of you. In fact…


Objects shook even faster than before. Tables and chairs floated up and broke in the air. Windows shattered. I tried to command my new arms once again but it just wouldn’t work.


We were going to allow those arms. Just as a token of kindness from us but with all of your rebellious actions, we decided not to.


Screams of agony echoed once the sharp pain from my torso amplified. My newest arms were ripped and torn to shreds, practically sent to the papershredder and torn into pieces, leaving no trace of its former self behind.  


Tears rolled down my fur. This couldn’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening and I just wanted to make it stop. Stop the destruction of my life’s work. Papers that I had kept within cupboards burnt into crisps, microscopes were shattered into a million parts while even the table and chairs cracked into splinters.


Standing within the debris, I blinked at the ruined lab. What could I even do here?


This is our first and last warning, Mercy. If you ever try to reverse these changes, we will break it all over again. Tear apart any inch of progress you’ve made and make sure you fall right back to where you started.


I fell silent. I didn’t have the will to argue back. Resignation and despair came intertwined, making me sick to the bone. What was the point? Were we stuck as animals forever?


“Mercy, are you alr-oh,” Kiriko sprinted her way up to my lab to see it in ruins. I stepped out of its ruins. My tears followed the same silent path. Kiriko went silent, accompanying me back to my stables. How was I going to explain this to Freja? That no matter what we do, we would always be animals.


The next few hours, I could only remember crying. Over and over again within the stables. The two of them didn’t have any words to comfort me, only feeling the same resignation and dread that I had felt. We were stuck like this. As mere animals to be played by these spirits.


Kiriko soon fled to the building. Her guilty conscience right now, killing her for starting this chain of events, was too much to look at us in the eye. Freja meanwhile stuck by my side, neighing occasionally.


When Winston woke up, he could only give condolences to our situation. He scratched his head, “If you girls don’t mind, I could give you some tips and tricks to living as an animal. Pardon my suggestion if it offends you but I am the residential animal after all.”


“Nei-”


“She said right,” My voice was so soft that I could barely hear myself, “Just… give me some space for the day, alright?”


He nodded. More employees soon came to work, passing us as mere mares. I caught familiar faces like Tracer or Hanzo. My friends who would greet me within the office itself, now not even batting an eye at us.


A couple people would pet us. Saying how I had gone missing in one of the branches. And all I could do was munch stupid grass on the ground and neigh. Definitely didn’t turn on the translator Winston gave to me. My eyes by this point were swollen red, puffy from all the tears that dried up.


And this was the life I had to live? For the next decade or so as a horse? Because I ‘offended’ these spirits? It all just left a bitter taste in my mouth. I couldn’t even fucking heal people else they’ll turn into actual animals like Freja.


I… my whole life had just been stripped away from me. My identity as a healer, my body as a human and my whole purpose dedicated to healing people… It’s all gone now. What did I even do wrong here?


Ah right, they were going to tell me this was a blessing. A blessing to become a mystical unicorn who could pass down their blessings once again. Onto dying people that will be reborn as mere horses… oh fuck right off!


Hours flew by. One moment, I was sulking about my lab being destroyed, the next moment the sun was setting down. All of these rational thoughts suffocated any hope I had. There was no… escape. No hope of ever returning back to normal. And the rumination was driving me mad.


That I was responsible for changing Freja into like me. That the hope that I had told them was a false one. One that broke under the simplest of strength. That this was our life. Our damn lives as mere animals. Feral ones with all of these primal urges and instincts.


I glanced back at Freja, “Could we… do it again?”


“Nei?” She raised her eyebrows, shaking her head.


“I don’t care. I just need something to distract myself,” I glanced down at her new sprouting cock, reaching the same size as yesterday, “Let’s have fun, alright~?”", "pools_count": 0, "title": "Corrupted Blessings (Comms)", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "text/plain", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "2", "rating_name": "Adult", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "4", "name": "Sexual Themes", "description": "Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal", "rating_id": "2" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "f", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "0", "views": "1" }
