The Ritual of Change By Storyteller The floor was of a deep layer; red colored carpet, surrounding the carpet was a thick rope that formed a circle. In the center of the circle were a pair of foot straps, and hanging directly above the foot straps were a pair of wrist straps. Surrounding the circle were the watchers of the ritual, men, women and teenagers, all dressed in black and gold robes, watched on as their high priestess spoke the incantation. As the high priestess spoke a young girl was lead into the circle, flanked by two men. A white silk robe only covered the girl, and her long hair fell freely down her back. The men placed the girl into the straps and secured her tightly. The high priestess, in her blood red robes, approached the girl carrying a crystal goblet, inside the goblet was a golden liquid, the eyes of the watchers followed the goblet, the high priestess began to repeat the incantation, and as she did, offered the goblet to the young girls lips, whilst the girl drank the liquid, her robes were removed revealing a slim and athletic figure. The girl's head drooped after the goblet was removed as the girl regained her breath, then slowly the girl began to sweat, over the period of an hour her muscles, could be seen by all in their entirety, her body glistened as the sweat reflected the light. Her breathing became deeper next, and with each breath her breasts swelled, this continued until the size was that of three times the original cup, all the watchers gazed on in amazement as this event took place, all the girl could o was to open her mouth as if to speak, but just a gasp escaped her lips, then it happened. Slowly her calves began to widen and thicken, the growth was of such a speed that it look as if someone were using a pump on them, they developed until they formed the perfect inverted heart shape, next her thighs grew, thickening at the knees and tapering up to her hips, her hamstrings growing out and back simultaneously as her thighs. Her waist shrank to eighteen inches in width, and her abdominal muscles grew upwards, as if the mountains being pushed up by fault plates, the muscles at the small of her back grew upwards and outwards to her sides, rippling with muscles as she grew. Her pectoral muscles lifted her full and firm breasts higher, until it seemed that they defied gravity, her back now formed a perfect inverted triangle. Starting from her shoulders the muscle in her arms grew as if something inside her arm was forcing them upwards, her veins forming minute ridges upon pure hard mountains of arm muscle. The straps around her wrists and ankles were straining throughout the transformation, and with one last deep breath, they snapped. Only when the ritual of change was complete did the high priestess approach the girl, now a powerful woman, and notice how much taller she had become; "You are the first and shall not be the last" said the high priestess, uneasily the men who accompanied the girl fell in beside and walked her away to be clothed, in the background, the girl could hear the high priestess speaking the incantation as she was place into the straps ready for her ritual of change.
