Zandii smiled gently, looking at the soon-to-be kobold Echo and started explaining how first she was to gaze into the soul of Echo. That way, she would be able to know the true form Echo’s mind was wanting to be. Some people already know in their heart what they want, but can’t put it into words as she said to many.
Holding the hands of Echo, Zandii focused her energy to glare the mind of the girl. Echo was kind of a semi-introverted being. Not an overconfident one, though that might change after her true form blossoms. Thus, her future body was the kind Zandii worked with a lot. Making the transformation spell was made all more easier as Echo was fully willing and thinking about what she wanted. And after a few minutes she had everything she needed.
The soon-to-be kobold took precautions and undressed herself to just her underwear. That way the armor won’t get in with her transformation.
The dragonness applied herself to the making of the spell, pouring into it every little detail she found in the crevasses of Echo’s soul. Zandii then cast her spell, materializing in the shape of a glowing purple orb that slowly entered Echo’s body.
Echo first started to feel the world around her getting… taller ? No she was shrinking ! Because yeah, Kobolds aren’t usually over 5 foot tall ! But to Echo, getting small meant getting closer to her true self. She looked at her legs, morphing and slowly adapting to that new height. But a rather strange and pleasurable feeling ran through her legs, her feet started to change too.
She first started to see her toenails getting bigger, sharper, more into claws. In fact, both her feet morphed to a more reptilian and digitigrade shape. She slowly felt more comfortable standing on her toes, which she was gradually thinking more about as her feet. Her entire legs were shifting to fit her new walking style, as she was shrinking and getting closer to their final size, a heat parsed her hips, getting more rounded to support both the future body, but also the tail.
The tail… oh god that was one of the thing Echo’s anticipated the most. As she was loosing inches and inches in height, she was enjoying every secod of her trasformation. Waiting to start feeling the early nub of a tail emerging, she failed to notice her ring finger and little finger slowly merging as her hand was ongoing the same change than her feet. It felt oddly weird to feel your hand shift from a 5 fingers palm to a 4 fingers kobold hand. Sensing bones in her finger reshaping and fusing into their final form. Her hand claws were getting longer, more arched, more solid, the kind of blacked claws that kobolds are most known for. Her fingers, now only four, were also getting a little pudgier, but still felt very efficient.
As her height finally started to stabilize, the semi-kobold looked at the floor and her feet now much closer to it, she has nearly lost a full meter in that transformation. She was expecting her tail to grow now, but she felt something, different. Something that ran though her whole body, and felt way more pleasurable and intimate even.
Her skin was changing, she was getting rid, inch by inch of this human skin she was resenting. Across her whole body, from the paws to the claws of her feet felt more scaly by the second. Reptilian scales were emerging from her form, getting everywhere, with more prominent bunch of them on her shoulders, fingers and legs. The scale were of a tan color, but not for very long. A beautiful pastel blue were getting more and more present in her vision as the scales were turning into the hue of blue agate, with some deeper blue hues scattered on her body.
The scales were making their way everywhere on Echo’s body, even her more intimate parts. She felt a rush of heat as her personal regions slowly reshaped, both in the legs regions and in her little chubby belly getting more present. Her ass shifted, the bones of her pelvis were hurting, but it was for the better, every creak and snap of her skeleton meant being closer to what she wanted to be.
There wasn’t much anything human that remained of Echo. And deep down, she was both wanting it to end to enjoy her form, but she wanted to enjoy every second of it. She was still missing some core features of the good kobold she dreamt of being. She wasn’t sure what would happen first. Her tail ? Her torso’s final changes ? Her face ?
The latter was the correct guess, she knew as she felt her whole face morphing. Her nose and mouth being more present in her vision, taking the shape of a snout as the nose was flattening into a two small dots. The teeth were obviously next, as her jaws felt like it was getting remodeled but in a pleasing way. Like it was getting fixed and it felt good. It felt good even, oddly feeling two of her teeth morphing into longer fangs.
Her eyes were getting bigger too, she was noticing a much improved ability in seeing movement and colors she never knew existed. But the most shocking feeling was her night vision getting better. She has tried some night vision potions, but none came close to the emotion and experience it was to truly know it was permanently engraved into your DNA to see that way.
Her ears, covered in the same scales that painted her body, were getting both longer, and higher. Kobold’s ears are supposed to go to the top of your head after all, no ? She was so in trance of her whole changes, she hasn’t even noticed her haircut morphed into a simpler shape, made of scales too.
Her torso felt more sturdy, thanks to the scales, and her chest more rounded and present. Her former rather small chest was inflating and getting more perky, not an overly big chest but something where she would just barely hold one breast with her fully now kobold hand. She was getting lost into her thoughts. She couldn’t believe all of this. Finally, no more of this human-pretending, it was her life now, and never would she change that.
She knew kobolds weren’t as smart as humans, and she didn’t care. Her thoughts were getting a little simpler, gaining knowledge about kobolds hives and civilizations she didn’t even knew after studying them for so long. Her memories were kept intact, but her thoughts were slowly getting reshaped.
She was getting to closer to her, to the true form she knew deep down she was meant to be. The final change was getting closer, her tail.
It hurts to grow a tail, it involves so much bones restructuring. But she couldn’t care less about the pain poking her ass. Her spinal column was growing, extending. Starting from a simple numb, that was already pretty sensible, she was now only having eyes on it, it was the final brick to her new body after all.
The nub was getting longer by the second, extending and hurting still, but the growing pain was more manageable than the emergence of the nub. The longer and larger her tail grew, the heavier it was getting, each inch of tail was also getting covered in the same scales that adorned her whole body. The newfound height in her back was destabilizing, but her recent shift in legs helped balancing, it was way easier to manage your whole body with such legs !
Her tail was getting each second more agile, as every nerve and muscle grew, her brain was also developing the knowledge to use it. Her excitement over being able to move her tail in the way she wanted made her glee. Every inch her tail grew, her mind was getting more entranced.
Every inch her tail grew meant a step closer to her final form. The tail was something Zandii always kept for last. Notably because the tail morphing usually excites the mind and helps with the last changes, locking them permanently to fit the form of the subject.
The kobold tail was kind of a long one, with a spiky end, reminding of morningstar weapons, a beautiful tail she gazed at. Failing to notice her basic clothes changing into a proper kobold attire for her role.
Finally, she was complete. The kobold was admiring the body she now has, a gorgeous 2 foot tall blue agate kobold with deep blue accent, a tail spiked as a mace and claws sharp as steel.
Z : here you go, my child. How do you feel ? Oh, I should have asked but… do you still want to hold onto the name you used ? Or perhaps an other feels more at-home ?
The kobold was stuttering her words, overwhelmed by the joy and euphoria of finally getting the body she deserved.
E : I… I can’t believe it, I’m… finally me. Oh… yeah my name. I guess… Since few human documents were to my name, and Echo’s still a pretty kobold-y name, I’d rather keep it I think ?
Echo burst into tears of joy as she knelt to the dragoness.
E : Lazy Zandii, if I may call you that, I don’t think I can thank you enough for what you’ve done. I’m finally feeling at-home with me. My mind fits my body and my body fits my mind. Thank you so much. I’ll remain here, not only because I feel at home here, but also because, if I can help some other lost souls finding themselves, I’d be glad to help.
Z : My dear child, call me as you want, we’re not under some kind of nobility system here. I accept your offer. Opal, over here, please. Can you please bring Echo to her new room ? We have a new permanent resident with us.
