“Trust me, you’ll care,” she said. “I’ll make you powerful like you asked, but I’ll also make you a very handsome man. How about that?”

Sssure.

“Alright, let’s do it.”

I stepped out of the cabin and felt the cool grass against my skin. It was a strange sensation, almost as if it tickled me. Without my hard scales, I felt the temperature of the night more intensely. The breeze moved over my flesh subtly, but the heat my body generated felt substantial. When I looked around, the world looked different, the colors different, and it was much harder to see in the dark than it’d been before. I looked up at the moon, bright in the sky, and then looked at the glow in the grass.

I took a step forward.

I was nearly as heavy as I’d been before, but now it was distributed differently.

I took another step…and then another…moving downhill as I learned to walk on two legs rather than slither forward on none.

When I looked down at my naked body, I saw the tightness and strength of my stomach, the defined abs that looked hard as steel. My legs were strong and muscular, dark hair visible on the tops of my thighs. I pulled my arms in, looking at the bulges of muscle close to my shoulder.

When I looked up, Kingsnake and Larisa both approached.

Kingsnake wore an expression I’d never seen before, his eyes glazed in shock.

Larisa grinned as she looked me up and down.

Do I look ferociousss? Kingsnake was the same height as me, our eyes perfectly level with each other.

“Yes…among other things.” Larisa looked me up and down appreciatively.

Kingsnake immediately gave her a cold look.

What isss it?

Kingsnake turned back to me. “Well…you’re going to get a lot of attention.”

Why?

Larisa grinned. “Because you’re sexy, Fang. Really sexy…”

“You’d slap me if I said that about a woman,” Kingsnake snapped.

“Come on, it’s Fang,” Larisa said. “I know this isn’t real.”

I’m sssexxxyyy?

Kingsnake looked at me again. “Never thought I’d say this about another man, but yes. There will definitely be admirers. Now we need to get you some clothes so my wife will stop staring at your dick.”

Larisa rolled her eyes.

I looked down at myself and admired my package. Whoa, it looksss like that all the time?

“Actually, it gets bigger,” Larisa said as she suppressed a smile.

How?

“Oh, you’ll see,” Kingsnake said. “You’ll see very soon…”

The journey back to Grayson was an opportunity for me to get used to this new body. I rode with Larisa sitting in front of me, letting her show me how to ride a horse and hold the reins.
