Pay the Price
Ivan joined you inside the bathroom, out of some new instinct you pull the towel up and over your new furred breasts. Your stomach gurgles precipitously perhaps feeling some lingering effects of the potions running through your veins. You can feel the fur pushing out of your pours and your white and black patterning sharpens on your back.
You catch a glance of yourself in the mirror, your tail caught up by the upper rim of the towel twitches in fear and a little bit of anger.
Ivan takes you in for a second, and whistles softly. "My my, that could have turned out a lot worse than it did. Turn around let me take a look at you." He says motioning with his hand to turn around. The new instincts riding high you blush furiously but do as instructed. Your tail stiffens and twitches madly.
After finishing his inspection, Ivan steps back and looks at you. "My dear, I am sorry for how this has played out. It is incredibly unfortunate that I must still ask you to pay for the potions even though it was an accident." You nod at him sensing that he feels a little sorry for you. You notice with a shock that your emotions are running wild. When you entered the shop as a man, you were lucky to feel something at the end of a sad movie, instead opting to console your girlfriend. You sigh as you remember your girlfriend perhaps for the first time. Jennifer was going to be pissed.
You look to Ivan, resigned to your fate, anything he does will not be worse than facing Jennifer. "How much do I owe you?" You ask timidly already sensing that money was not going to be part of the transaction.
"Well my dear, as you have seen, this is a magic shop, so the prices are a little, different than what you may be used to. See there's this new spell I have been wanting to try out, and I think that you're an appropriate candidate." Ivan said.
"Is it going to hurt?" You ask.
"No, it shouldn't hurt at all, and it will be over quite quickly." Ivan consoled you.
"Alright let's do it then." You agree halfheartedly.
"Perfect!" Ivan smiles broadly. "Now then if you prefer, you can close your eyes, but I know some people tend to prefer to watch the changes as they happen."
You shake your head and with a start Ivan flings his hand out at you and starts chanting. A red bolt of energy streams from his fingertips and strikes you in the chest. The magical energy crackles and sparks, lifting you off of your feet. Your towel is blown off and you struggle to cover yourself with your hands. All of that is useless in the face of the waves of magical energy covering your body. You feel you butt growing almost, and you look back in horror to see it extending out behind you, almost comically so.
Your tail follows it backwards, and looking behind you, you see it extending outwards. You try to reach for it in some vain attempt to keep it tethered to your already strange body, but you find your hands tethered in place by the forces surrounding you.
Wet tears fall from your eyes and roll down your furred cheeks. You were not in pain, but you were becoming that much different from how you entered the shop. There was no way you'd be accepted into normal society with your new body, much less now that your ass was another five feet long.
With a start you realize that large pawed legs form on the sides of your new torso and extend downwards. You were becoming some sort of strange centaur you realize. Fur fills in your new torso and your white on black patterning extends down your new back. Your tail flies wildly in mad arcs twitching fiercely and fluffing up in the excitement.
Ivan's spell finishes with a start and you fall gently to the floor the impact caught by your new padded feet and legs.
You look at Ivan eyes wide but red rimmed from crying.
"What have you done to me Ivan?" You ask, fear filling you.
"What have I done to you?" Ivan repeats. "My dear I have extended the boundaries of magic and science is what I have done! This is a monumental success!" Ivan said ecstatically.
"Ivan you've turned me into a freak." You say plainly. "No my dear." He counters. "Don't you see, Taur magic is one of the hardest schools there are! Even necromancy is child's play versus modifying an existing entity with an entirely new form, then stitching it all together seamlessly. My dear, you will be a celebrity in the magic world!"
"What are you talking about? Celebrity?" You say hesitantly. This is not what you expected in the least.
"Yes, yes! Celebrity! Don't you see! You're at the pinnacle of the magic world. You'll have warlocks near and far drooling to come see you, to inspect my handiwork!"
"I just want to turn back to normal and go back to the life I had," you say.
"Nonsense, how could you know if you're going to like this new life or not, you haven't even started living it yet." Ivan replied incredulously. "You will have every whim provided to, every need satisfied. What more could you want in life?"
"I am going to leave my girlfriend and my friends behind!"
Ivan pondered for a second before saying...
