Working It Out

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1857

"I think we had best leave in secret," says Fred. "If my parents knew what we planned to do, there would be endless arguments. I will see to arranging the supplies that we will need. That should not take me very long, maybe two hours. Meanwhile you, Synizn, can cast your spell on Astra." "Make sure those supplies are ample," says the mage. "Astra can't produce milk out of thin air, and is going to have a ravenous appetite. In fact, before doing anything else get a servant to leave an enormous meal outside the nursery door."

Fred walks out of the nursery, and Synizn explains to Astra what he is going to do. "How much milk are you producing at present? And how far are the babies from weaning?" he asks her. "Just about enough milk to satisfy one baby. And they won't be ready to be weaned for at least three or four months yet." "Since they will presumably need rather more milk as they grow, I will leave a safety margin and increase your milk production tenfold. I could do it in two stages, an initial increase now and a further one later on, but it's possible that things could get a little too hectic for casting complex spells later on, so I'd rather just do it the once. Obviously, all that milk has to have somewhere to go, so your breasts are inevitably going to be a lot bigger. That's a change that cannot be avoided, but I asuure you that you won't be anything like a human cow. As I said before, I'm not going to alter with your mind, or any other part of your body than your breasts, except that it might be a good idea to strengthen your shoulder muscles a bit. One other thing. You are going to need some much larger or very stretchy tops - preferably ones that don't show milk stains, as I suspect a bit of leakage is going to be inevitable."

Astra has turned a little pale. "Don't worry," says Synizn. "It's only for three or four months until we get back, and then I will reverse the changes." Astra thinks: "But what if something happens to you first?". She doesn't say that, though. What she does say is: "It takes me twenty minutes to feed one baby. Even feeding two at a time, that's seventy minutes to feed the lot. And they need feeding every four hours during the day, although they usually manage to go six hours at night now. That means I'm not going to have the chance to contribute much to this expedition beyond my milk." "Yes," admits the mage, "especially as you are going to spend quite a lot of your time eating."

Astra has a quick look through her wardrobe. Since she has had little chance to shop for clothes since she arrived here, it is fairly limited, with nothing that will cope with an enlarged bust. "Not to worry," says Synizn. "It is a trivial matter for me to adapt your existing clothes. He points into the wardrobe and gestures, and Astra sees the tops grow. Then he points at her, and does the same with the outfit she is wearing. Astra is dismayed at just how baggy it is.

"That was the easy bit," he says. "This next bit is trickier, and will take fifteen minutes or so. I could have done it in the wink of an eye using the power of the Crystallic, of course, but then when the Crystallic was destroyed it would have become almost impossible to undo it. You will know I have finished when I clap my hands, which will trigger the changes." He gets Astra to drink a potion, which is totally lacking in taste or colour and is indistinguisable from water. Then he launches into a long recital, some of it from a book of spells and some apparently of his own invention. He punctuates this from time to time with strange gestures. Eventually he claps his hands.

Astra feels her skin begin to stretch. Looking down she sees her breasts rapidly expand until they have reached an impressive size. She is a little concerned at how floppy they seem, though. Surely they should be full of milk? Synizn explains that, though he has speeded up her milk production, it will take a little while for her breasts to fill. And for that to happen, she is going to have to eat. Astra realises that she is indeed very hungry. Checking outside the door, she finds that the requested meal has been delivered. It is enough for about four people, but over the next half-hour Astra polishes off ninety per cent of it until at last she no longer feels hungry. By the end of her meal, her breasts are already noticeable fuller, and by the time Fred returns an hour or so later with the supplies they have reached what she hopes is close to their maximum size.

After Fred has finished gulping, they put the babies in two large travelling cots, four in one and three in the other. Then Synizn gets out the Crystallic and uses its powers, and they are instantaneously shifted through space...

  1. To their intended destination.
  2. Their enemies succeed in diverting them elsewhere.
