"Unhand me wench. I don't need help from a lowly human" he said struggling between her fingers. She ignored him and unceremoniously dropped him into her teacup. Still scalding hot, Jin screamed bloody murder in that cup trying to climb out. His hands and feet found no traction on the smooth china. "I'll have you out to death for this!" he shrieked. "I think not" she said sipping the tea. Jin franticly swam to avoid getting drunk. "Don't worry. I won't eat you before we talk" she said. "Before? Then you plan..." he was saying until she shushed him. She took him out and ripped him on the saucer. His skin was red and blistering but the spell protected him from being burned to death. "So you raped her. Why?" she asked. "None of your business! You are a servant! You do not question your master!" he yelled. She slammed her fist down cracking the wooden table. Jin bounced into the air and landed. "Of all the humans here, why rape your niece?" she asked. "Because she's beautiful and she was there" he replied. Wen cracked her knuckles.

"You're her blood. To take her by force is a dishonor no matter now you rationalize it. Is that why she never spoke of it till now? Under threat of dishonor?" she asked. "What do you care?" he asked. "BECAUSE I AM HER MOTHER!" she screamed. Jin was shocked. A creepy laugh came from him. "Then your pussy did good work. Too bad about being human, I'd have fucked a baby into you myself if I knew the child would be that cute" he laughed. Wen took ahold of his legs and gently yanked. He let out an ungodly cry as his legs dislocated from his hips. Her fingernail came right up under his testicules. Jin tried to back away dragging his useless legs. "This organ offends me. Should I pluck it off?" she asked. "No! No please..." he begged. Her finger pressed on his chest hard and Jin felt the pain go away. He could move his legs once more and the bruises were gone. "My only mercy for you" she said. "How? How did you..."

"Never did I once say I was human" she replied. "A Yaksha. A Yaksha in my own home. Shit! That means she's half Yaksha!" he yelled. That grin came back on his face. "That means you're bound by your own code to help me" he said. "My code? I've lived among you for years. Suffered indignities unabashed. Surely you don't think one couldn't be affected by that" she said. He stopped grinning. "My daughter's rapist is shrunk beyond belief and helpless before me. Buddha smiles on me this day" she said. "Wen I swear I won't say a word. I won't even think of touching her again" he said. She placed her foot on the table. "Clean them and we shall discuss your fate" she said coldly. Jin had no choice in the matter as he cleaned the filth from her dirty sole. His hands sticky from grime between her toes, he looked at her. "Your story ends here tonight Jin. That much is certain. How it ends is up to you."

"Put your ego aside a moment. Can you rule a family stuck as such? Defend yourself from even a human? Father children? The last one should be extremely important as you have a duty to do so as the only male member of the family" she said. Jin wiped his dirty hands on her toe flesh. Deep down he knew she was right. "I don't wish to die" he muttered. "Not many do Jin. Your karma has made this path. You must walk it" she said. "And if I chose not to?" he asked. Wen said nothing as she popped him in her mouth and swallowed him. Jin screamed and cried in her stomach but found he was unharmed by her acids. He could breathe comfortably but the darkness and the sounds of gurgling wore on his mind. Wen saw Xaimei peeking from around a corner wall. "I ate him" she said sipping tea. "I need him to consent!" Xaimei said. "He won't die. I made it so. I think he will have an answer favorable to you in some hours" she said. Xaimei had no idea how ruthless her mother could be.

He felt himself sucked into her intestines. Somehow, he could breathe. Magic sucking oxygen out of blood cells, traces of water, he didn't know but he was alive. He was not claustrophobic or afraid of the dark...until now. Being buried alive in someone's gut. Pushed through it as waste built up around him. Entombing him even further. And the goddamned gurgling never stopping. All things pass including him. Light, glorious light shone in his eyes as his face was the only part of him not encased in Yaksha shit. Wen cringed as he pulled him free and washed him. He giggled like a madman in the sink. It was clear what had occurred.

"So, there is the answer to your question if you refuse. Hell everlasting. Now will you walk the path? The path of death?" Wen asked. "YES! KILL ME! GIVE ME THE HONOR OF DEATH!" he laughed manically. Wen called for Xaimei. "He will give consent. The rest is to you" she said bowing. Xaimei SAE his mind broken like cheap glass. The trip through her mother's bowels had unhinged even his pride. Xaimei placed a piece of parchment on the floor. "Sign it with soul fire and you will consent to ritual suicide " she said. The tiniest spark flittered from him as he made a faintly glowing signature. "It is done. Please kill me now" he said quietly chuckling. Xaimei took away the fortification spell on him. She raised her big toe over his body. "For what it's worth...I'm sorry" he said. "I loved you once. I really did. You stole not just my virginity but my heart too" she told him. Jin saw the pain in the giantess' eyes. He thought back to earlier times when he held her in his arms. Played with her. Helped her with magic. He loved her and then he thought of that night.

Him drunkenly on top of her. She kicking him and he stopping her. Her pitiful look as he sucked her toes. Her begging him to just let her go. The anguish of her cry as he went in her. Jin saw his death coming and stopped being scared and for a fleeting half second was sane again. He held his arms out to embrace eternity as if to pay penance for what he had done. Xaimei felt the weakest of crunching and warmth under her toe. It gave her no satisfaction as she thought it would. She lifted her toe up seeing his remains pressed firmly into the parchment. Proof of his demise. She rolled it up and placed it on the table. "I don't feel better about it at all" she muttered. "With revenge you rarely do" Wen said quietly. "Is that why you haven't done a thing after finding out your homeland was razed to the ground?" Xaimei asked. Wen put the dishes in the sink and sighed. "What would you expect me to do? Poison you? Grow to human size and rampage? Would that bring anyone back? Your cousins brought back to life? The children? Their only crime is being born Yaksha?" Wen asked trembling.

Xaimei had no answer to that. "That's the thing about hate. You think it gives you a reason. That it gives you power. An outlet. Do you even remember a time when you didn't hate Yaksha?" she asked. Xaimei actually tried. Hating them was as natural as breathing to her. The true feeling of it...she couldn't remember. "No" she replied. "I thought as much. I don't need to exact revenge. Your own karma will see to that. And as a mother to you, all I can do is weep. The Mogwai are making a bed of their own destruction. Even if your plan succeeds, all you will do is unite the survivors of humanity against you. Once the nations of Europe constantly squabbled with one another until Napoleon showed up. He gave them a common enemy and with all his victories and conquests...it still came to naught. You see yourselves as rulers of the decimated humanity. Here's a lesson for you my daughter. If a ruler doesn't have the heart of those he rules...then he rules nothing. And hate will not win over a single heart. If my mistress has nothing else of me I shall retire for the evening" Wen said bowing. Xaimei was left stunned.

It wasn't what she said but how she said it. As calm and clear as a weather forecast. Xaimei tried to sleep that night but found she couldn't. She found herself roaming the city human sized. Not The first time she did this. The quietness and cool street under her bare feet gave her some calmness but not much. People bowed before her as she passed them cleaning up from the attack weeks ago. Debris was easy to clear but construction was a more intricate task. Walking a bit, she found herself at one of the human barracks. By general order, a human sized guard stood watch over them to make sure they stayed docile. The fear of another revolt still in their minds. "Ma'am!" the female guard said bowing. "At ease. Nothing to report?" Xaimei asked. "All quiet" the teenage girl replied. Xaimei had her sit with her. "Your name?" she asked. "Lan" she replied nervous. "Your first posting?" she asked. The girl nodded. The girl was homely looking but not unattractive. About 16 years old and wore a padded uniform. Being human sized she was barefoot. "Not very glamorous" Xaimei chuckled. "I'm happy to serve" Lan said.

"You can drop the patriot stuff. Tell me your thoughts" Xaimei said. "It is boring. I wish to prove myself. Can't do that babysitting vermin" she replied. "You will in time. I started small as well. Trips to the human cities to learn of their ways. Relaying messages. Observing. I was your age when I got my first decent assignment" Xaimei said looking at her toes. "What are humans truly like?" Lan asked. "Greedy, ruthless, foolish, violent, self-centered just to name a few" Xaimei replied. She bent forward and popped the roof off the barracks. She fished out a teenage human boy and handed him to her. "If he had lived out there, he might've been a drug dealer, rapist, murderer, or worse yet a self-righteous politician. Humans are dangerous as they have little conformity to their nature. They speak of nationality, family, or values as if it only exists for them and their group. Here? Here we weed that out and have them live as they should. One purpose. Serve. Now open your mouth" she said. Lan did as Xaimei tore off the boy's clothes. She placed him in her mouth and closed it. "Swallow" she said. The bulge traveled down her throat and Lan patter her belly. "Now you know the difference between a human...and a human knowing their purpose in life.

"Are the Yaksha dead as I heard?" Lan asked. Xaimei narrowed her eyes. "Yes. What do you think of that?" Xaimei asked. "I think good riddance. Bunch of human lovers. They waste their loyalty on a species that can't even use magic. Makes as much sense as befriending a venomous snake" she replied. "And what about their children? Could they conform to our ways?" Xaimei asked. Really she was asking herself this question. "If they are like us then they are taught young. Why water a flower if you know the roots are bad?" Lan replied. Xaimei reached back into the barracks and pulled out another young teenage boy. Still asleep like the last one, she pondered her answer as she looked upon him. She was not foolish enough to ignore the limitless possibilities of what he could accomplish allowed to grow up. A scholar, artist, a good husband and father. She tore off his clothing, but her hand kept him warm. If anything, he snuggled her middle finger slightly. His cute tiny feet pushing on her palm. She found him attractive and a sobering thought occurred to her. Now that she was head of the family, she would have to birth an heir. No longer was it an option.

What would she teach her child? The same old ways and even so would they really have a place in the new order? If they Yaksha were gone then what's the point of teaching it to hate them? If that changed what else would? "Is something wrong?" Lan asked. Xaimei pushed the boy past her lips savoring his sweet youthful flesh before swallowing him whole. "Just wondering if late night snacks are going to make me fat" she chuckled. Xaimei stood up. She shocked the girl as she hugged her. With a delicate kiss to her forehead she bowed. "Your job is as important as any other. Don't forget that" she said. "By you will" Lan said bowing back. Xaimei returned home. After shrinking down to fit, she patted her belly as the boy (now awake thrashing in agony) tickled her from the inside. She washed her feet at the steps and walked inside. She paused at her mother's room. "The problem with Napoleon was that he was human mother. And we are so much more…" she whispered.

The next day, Xaimei stood in the temporary headquarters of the new government body. The families reformed from next of kin sat at a long table. Aimee took out the parchment, unrolled it, and placed it on the table. "By my uncle's will, I now assume the head of West" she said. Each head looked upon it cringing at the crushed remains of the man under his own signature. Their glowing hands authenticated it to be true. "As it to be true, we recognize Xaimei and the new head of West. Any objections?" North asked. None did. "Very well. Bow to our new Sister" he said. Each one bowed at her new station. Xaimei smiled as they showed her honor. Honor she had found...fulfilling. 

24 hours ago...again...

Ebony watched the clock tick. "It's been 48 hrs.!" Danica yelled rattling the bars in her cage. Ebony held her finger up looking at the clock. A minute passed by. "There. Now it's been 48 hrs. I take it you learned the consequences to breaking my rules?" she asked as she unlocked the hamster cage her daughter was standing in. Danica, shrunken down to three inches, stepped out. Filthy from being in there all weekend, she gave her giantess mother a glare. "Don't look at me that way. You broke the rules about shrinking people you know or are close to us. or maybe you need more time sleeping and shitting on woodchips, eating sunflower seeds for dinner, and drinking out of a water dripper? I can call your school and say you have the flu. Yes this is Danica's mother. She's out with the flu and won't be back for a few days" Ebony said. "NO! No... I’m sorry mom" she said up to her. Ebony carried her to the bathroom and ran the sink. "I'll wait till you're clean before I grow you back. Don't want you smelling up the house" she said.

She tested the water with her tiny toes before easing in. Ebony placed a sliver of soap nearby for her as she tossed her shrunken clothes in the waste basket. "Honestly what were you thinking shrinking a boy at your school?" she asked. "He's cute and I wanted to stick him inside me. Wasn't like I was gonna eat him" she huffed. "And you never thought people would search for him? News crews showing up at your school? At least you had the sense to shrink him in the boy’s bathroom. People notice when folks go missing in a particular area over and over. Why do you think we make it a habit of choosing victims that live so far away?" Ebony asked. Danica lowered her head as she soaped her little body. "I'm this damn close in launching my attack. I don't need distractions! Next time it will be longer than a weekend. Understood?" she asked. "Yes ma'am" Danica muttered. Ebony placed her tiny butt on the edge of the sink basin. "Hold still" she said soaping her fingers. Danica flinched as a giant finger soaped her ass right into the crack.

Rinsing, she soaped them up once more to clean her back and long hair. "You remind me of your father. Reckless..." she said. "What was dad like? I don't remember him that much" Danica asked. "Like I said, reckless. But he was also smart, talented, handsome, and passionate" she replied. "You don't speak much about him" Danica said. "Your father stirred feelings in me I long thought abandoned. It was The Christmas party 1999 I met him. A fraternity was holding this party at the college I was attending, and freshmen girls were invited. I didn't think of going until I sensed something odd coming from the frat house. A faint pulse of magic. Curious I followed it and there I found your father in a room with another girl. A girl he had shrunk. Turns out he somehow discovered arcane shrinking magic in an old book donated to the college library and was using it to shrink girls near the college. Around that time, girls were going missing and it was causing a huge uproar in town. News crews came by and police was interviewing everyone on campus. This is why you don’t hunt near your place of living."

"Well your dad was caught red handed rubbing his dick on a screaming shrunken college girl and looked at me. "How did you open...whatever I can have a three way" he said drawing a circle on a notepad. It was cute really thinking he could shrink me. My ring easily froze him in place. The look on his face was priceless. "You think you're the only one that knows magic?" I asked sitting on the bed. "Please help me!" the girl screamed at me. I plucked her up, tossed her in my mouth, and chewed her to ribbons. Your father pissed himself hearing the shrieking from her. I wiped a trickle of blood from my lips and picked up his notepad. I was surprised to see how utterly crude his arcane was. "You've been shrinking girls using this?" I asked. He didn't respond. "Are you going to sit in your piss or are you going to answer me?" I asked. "...yes" he replied. "Remarkable. The symbols here are all wrong. This symbol is half done. You shouldn't even be able to invoke a match flame other than a shrinking spell. Is this blood?" I asked. He was curious as to how I knew of such things. "Put some in a fountain pen. The book said blood is best" he replied. I took his pen and tasted the tip. It was very faint, but traces of Fae blood were present. It was how he made an imperfect spell work."

"Clean yourself up" I said releasing him. He was scared of me and kept looking at my ring. "I won't hurt you. You intrigue me" I told him. Speaking to him, I learned his name was Neal. An orphan and here on scholarship. He excelled in his studies but never studied. Impulsive but he gave his all in what he did. Months passed, and I taught him how to hunt girls outside his territory. He was insatiable. My thirst for killing humans didn't compare to his. Teenage girls were his favorite target. Spring break that year was insane. He literally ate some many girls at once he passed out into a food coma while we were in Barbados. Well, I had judged him suitable to be a father so we had unprotected sex. I was in love Danica. First time in a very long time. We even discussed marriage when he graduated. He got his degree in English Lit and ended up teaching at a high school not far away. Just around that time you were born and we began planning our wedding."

"The ceremony wasn't much. Just friends of ours...if you could call them friends. Our honeymoon in Aruba was pleasant. Shrinking some locals and using them for sex or snacks. Nothing audacious. I admit I was distracted from my plans to decimate humanity being with him and you. I took a quiet clerking job in the mayor’s office here in Boston to fit in. It was all good for the next four years. News reports talked about girls going missing again. Worse yet two or three high school girls were coming up pregnant and not knowing who the daddy was. Now that wouldn't sound odd except it was happening at the school he taught at. I asked him about it and he denied involvement. I took him at his word. Weeks passed, and I noticed my ring would be in places I hadn't left it. He said he moved it during cleaning the house or keeping it out of your reach. Again, I believed him. Then one night I couldn't find my ring. The same night three high school cheerleaders went missing coming back from homecoming. Your father had went saying he had to as faculty and after coming home I found my ring...back where it should've been"

"He denied any involvement, but no search parties could find those girls. Swore up and down he scratched those itches with prostitutes nobody would miss. A week has gone by and as I was cleaning your room I found a red convertible. You're too young to remember but I asked you where you got it. You said you took it from daddy's study. It was the car those girls were in that night. The goddamned license plate matched. He must've followed them on the road, shrank the car, and smuggled it and them into the house. While he was at school, I searched the study top to bottom. Hidden in his desk between the pages of Gulliver’s Travels of all things was three pairs of tiny clothes. Cheerleader uniforms, panties, bras, and even their tiny dirty socks he had kept as trophies. He came home early, too early panicked. Word got out one of those pregnant girls had taken a pregnancy test. Rambling, he said his DNA was in CODIS for an assault when he was 16 and they were sure to tie him to it. I lost it. It wasn't enough he had shrunk and murdered students at his own school, but he used my ring to rape and hypnotize girls. He had cheated on me and endangered us all" Ebony said rinsing her body with her hand.

"Is that when you ate him?" Danica asked. "...yeah. I had to get rid of him in a way nobody could find his body. Ever. Your father pleaded for me not to do it. Said you shouldn't grow up without a dad. That he loved us. That he wanted to see you grow up. I told him flat out none of that would happen even if I spared him. That he put not just him and me in danger but you too. He stopped begging and pleading when he looked at you watching Sesame Street. He gave this weak nod and I picked him up. He didn't struggle or anything as I swallowed. He didn't even move in my belly. What broke my heart the most was when you asked where daddy was" Ebony said. "I remember that. You hugged me and cried" Danica said as she was handed a scrap of toilet paper. "...yeah. Two days later I filed a missing person’s report for your father. The way it looked to them, your father skipped town on us to avoid rape charges" Ebony said as she picked her up.

She sat her down on the bed and unshrank her. Ebony rubbed her cheek. "Now you understand truly my reasons?" she asked. Danica nodded. "Good. It's not too late for mommy daughter night" Ebony said. Danica smiled and got dressed.  She joined her mother on the sofa as she queued Hulu. "I ordered Chinese since John is out of town" Ebony said. "Where to this time?" Danica asked. "The Mogwai have arranged for a shipment of migrants for us. I need some to recharge my ring" Ebony said. Danica looked at the terrarium not far away. "New York again" Ebony sighed looking at her dwindling supply of shrunken humans. "Chinese again? Kinda bored with them" Danica said. "It is what it is" Ebony said before a knock on the door. She answered and the delivery boy dropped off their food. The two got bowls to eat from. "Might as well" Ebony said grabbing handfuls of one-inch people from the terrarium. "Feel kinda bad for them. They came here for a better life" Danica said watching Ebony drop a half in her egg drop soup and the rest in a large bowl of fried rice. "As long as humanity exists there will be strife. Either be these Hispanics here, Chinese, or Jews of old, humans are equal opportunists when it comes to cruelty. Problem is they weren't such a threat with their swords and crossbows but now they have bombs that can poison the Earth. What we do isn't evil" Ebony said placing her plastic spoon of a tiny human man treading hot soup and pushing him under.

She held it for 30 seconds and released him. He floated back up face down not moving. She spooned him right up. "It's protection" she said before placing the spoon in her mouth letting the little corpse slip down her throat. "I know you plan to use my body in the future but...will it hurt?" her daughter asked. "...only if you fight me. The host before you now did. Her mind fractured. Her soul mate. I rather not have that happen to you. I really don't" Ebony said touching her shoulder. Danica used her chopsticks to gather rice and a Mexican girl not much older than her. She was pleading for her life in Spanish as she dripped soy sauce off her body. She was devoured with no ceremony.

"Look. When this is all said and done, I don't need to be in charge full time. I'm content with just watching mostly. My job would be done" Ebony said seeing fear in her eyes. "Look at me. I do you love. Make no mistake about that" she said. Danica smiled and nodded. "So, how are things between you and John?" she asked changing the subject. "Okay I guess for an arranged marriage. He is...attentive to my needs" Danica replied. "Love can be found in arranged marriages. He knows he will see my wrath if he mistreats you" Ebony smiled. "He painted my toes after he worshiped them last night. See?" Danica said placing her bare foot on the kitchen table. "Manners" Ebony chided. She put her foot back on the floor. "When did you plan for the wedding?" Danica asked. "After the conquest. It will seal our alliance for years to come" Ebony said as she finished out more humans to eat. "It's strange for me. Going to school with kids I know will meet their deaths by years end" Danica said finishing her first helping of rice. " Stranger than eating Mexican with Chinese?" Ebony chuckled. "Mom, I'm being serious" Danica huffed.

"I know what you mean. You feel what immortals felt for centuries. Looking at someone and knowing you will outlive them. Pity doesn't make you weak. Letting pity cloud your better judgement does. I should know" Ebony said finishing her soup. She lit a cigarette sighing. Her belly sloshed around the soup and drowned humans as she thought of the past. As she smoked, Danica cleared the table. Ober a dozen people had met their end with their dinner, but the giantess and her daughter cared about other things. Their talk had stirred up old feelings, memories, and fears. They sat in front of the tv watching a random show in their Hulu lineup quietly. Ebony thought of all the sacrifices she made to get this far. Her first daughter, her husband, and possibly Danica herself. She hugged her close to her. Danica couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have Ebonheart's soul inside her. To be her puppet. Talk of broken minds and muted souls scared her for sure. The way her mother spoke of it especially of not fighting back...sounded like some kind of spiritual rape. Hours passed, and Danica had fallen asleep in her mother's arms.

Danica was not like her first child at all for a specific reason. Ebony told Danica of magic early on and the responsibilities that came with it. Now some might think that to be stupid to teach a young girl magic as kids her age talked of everything. "Don't tell anyone or you and mommy will be killed by the government" she was told. Enough to keep Danica's mouth shut it seemed. Ebony had given her a shrunken Spring Breaker girl when she was 5 as an effort to take her mind off her missing father. He had been gone for only 6 months by that point. Ebony was proud how well Danica took care of her. Never forgot food and water. Washed her every few days. Even had her doing tricks after a month. Then one day Danica rushed to her side blue in the face. The young girl was choking to death. Turns out Danica was kissing her pet and thought it funny to suck on her. The shrunken teen freaked and slipped into her throat in an awkward angle. If it wasn't for Ebony's quick thinking of shrinking the teen smaller, Danica wouldn't be here today. With that in mind, Ebony held off giving her another human pet until she was older.

Ebony shuddered at the memory. She had never felt such primal fear. Not even when staring down a titan of a Formorian. She carried her daughter to her room and tucked her in. Stroking her auburn hair, Ebony wondered if taking her over was truly the right thing. Then she remembered her own words concerning pity. She kissed her goodnight and retired to her own room.

She was finishing her up of coffee when John stumbled into the house carrying a large box. "Judging from the sounds coming from that cardboard box, I take it you got the delivery" she said listing to the caphony of crying and screaming. "That and more" he said setting The box down. John returned as Ebony was counting the shrunken people inside. "This came too" he said handing her an ancient box. "The Tamakushige!" Ebony yelled excited. "The who what now?" Danica asked yawning. "The Tamakushige. It's one of the most powerful magical relics to ever exist...and it's all mine now" Ebony replied grinning. "Looks like a jewelry box to me" she said trying to open it. "NO! Don't open it. It's dangerous to those unskilled in magic. You're not ready yet" Ebony said yanking it back. "What does it do?" Danica asked. Ebony looked at the time. "Why don't I show you? Get your clothes on. We're going to the park" she said. Danica went back upstairs and returned dressed. Ebony got her keys. "John. Make the preparations so I can use them when I return" she said to him. John nodded as he stared in The box.

The park was lovely even at 10 a.m. A warm sunny summer day led to many people enjoying the green grass, playground, and overall scenery. Ebony looked around for a proper target. "So?" Danica asked. "Looking. Wait...perfect" she said eyeing a woman walking hand in hand with a 3-year-old girl. "Even better. Come with me" she said seeing them enter the bathroom. Ebony and Danica entered just as the mother was flushing the toilet. Her daughter waiting just beyond the stall door. The mother came out seeing them. "It's free now. Come along Jessie" the woman said. Ebony wasted no time shrinking them. The woman panicked seeing how tiny they had become and hugged her daughter to her protectively. "No stay away!" she yelled up to Ebony as she reached for them. She placed the three-inch woman along with her half inch daughter on the sink basin. "You wanted to see what this box can do?" Ebony smiled as she held it before her victims. Concentrating, she opened it.

An eerie blue light shot from it enveloping the mother and child. They screamed in fright. "Holy shit!" Danica said watching the toddler grow older. Seconds passed but years did biologically for the two. When Ebony closed The box, both had aged 20 years. The mother was astonished to see her little girl a full-grown woman. The no longer little girl stumbled as her center of gravity was off now having c cup breasts. "Momma?" the girl asked looking at her own tits. By growing, she had ripped right out her old clothes and stood naked. Her now bare feet was cold on the porcelain, her hair down to her bare butt. "Cool! Wow, she's cuter than her mom. Oh...her tits are saggy now" Danica said. "guess we can dispose of them as we see this box works" Ebony said. The mother held her crying daughter to her terrified what the giantesses could have planned.

"Do we have to? I rather keep them" Danica said. Ebony eyed her. "Remember what I said" Ebony said. "Not that. I can train them. Threatening to eat her daughter would to a long way in that. Ma'am? Are you good at foot rubs and toenail painting?" Danica innocently asked. She didn't answer. "Okay...I'll just flush you both then" Danica said. "NO PLEASE! We...we'll do whatever you want" the mother replied. "She's going to hold you two that aren't you sweetie?" Ebony asked. "Yes mom" Danica replied picking them both up. With them in tow, they returned home. "Getting that was a big part of my plan" Ebony said as she turned onto their street. "How so?" Danica asked grinning at her two new pets. "Well, Aspen's daughter will have the power of Etherion, but she'll still be an infant. Not too much use to me. However, with that box I can age her to the point she can fully use it" Ebony said. "But won't her mind be like this girl here? She's like 23 or something now but her mind is still like a three-year-old" Danica said. "One thing at a time" Ebony said pulling into the driveway.

Danica rushed upstairs to place her slaves in a cage she had been using for some time while Ebony looked over John's shoulder. "Almost done" he said writing symbols around the edges of a circle. Ebony dumped out the humans in the box. "Looks to be about 70 here" she said. "76 if you count the pregnant ones twice" John said finishing. The shrunken Chinese immediately tried to scatter until Ebony used her ring to freeze them in place. They tried to yank their legs and feet in an effort to run but found they couldn't. "Now to begin" she said. With will alone, she had the men line up around the outer circle. Next the women in the inner one. Finally, the children in the dead center. The children cried out to mother and fathers to help them as Ebony looked to make sure everything was straight. "Some of these symbols look familiar. Like horoscopes or runes" Danica said. "Like languages, magic has roots. Every magic can trace its origins to one point; Etherion. Arcane came from magic and magic came from Etherion. The men on the outside are the spark that gives life. The women nurture it. And children...children are the infinite possibilities of life. All together they are the life cycle of a soul" Ebony said.

The symbols began to glow, and a beam of red light shot forth from every shrunken human present. It linked them together and the screamed in pain. Danica thought it looked like a spider web made of light. The men shriveled up as their souls were drained and a chain reaction spread from them to the women. They cried out the names of their children as their souls were leeched out or them. The energy gathered around the kids like a magical maelstrom. In seconds it began to collapse inwards forcing the kids tighter together. Their screams couldn't be heard anymore as it shrank smaller and smaller until a bright flash. When it was gone all that was left was a brilliantly shining red stone. Danica realized the truth of Philosopher Stones. The physical part of them was made from the bodies of children and the power itself provided by the souls of their parents or adults. If there was any doubt as to why these stones were taboo...they were gone now.

Ebony picked the stone up from the mummified corpses lining the circle. She took out the old stone from its seat and replaced it with the new one. She smiled wickedly as she felt the power of a fully charged one. "Splendid! Even more power than the last! The souls and bodies of so many young ones really boosted its quality. John be a dear and flush the corpses down the toilet" she said before sitting down to admire her ghastly jewelry. Danica followed him. "You seem bothered" he said as he dumped them in the commode. "I feel like a fucking servant. I want more in life!" he hissed. "Because you're Mogwai?" Danica asked. "Precisely! My birthright is to dominate not to be a maid or errand boy" he said flushing. She held him from behind. "I think you're more than that" she said. "Why are you being so nice to me? I know you find our arrangement to be bothersome" he asked. "But you try to please me. Make me happy. Why?" she asked. "A question with a question? ...I don't want to be alone. Being half human made me an embarrassment among my family and my kind. I had no friends. Before you I had no mate" he said softly.

"You were a virgin before me?" she asked. "I didn't say that. I want you to love me, but I want to be an equal too" he said looking at her. "I don't think less of you" she said leading him to her bedroom. "New pets?" he asked looking at her cage. Danica hummed yes as she got naked. John stripped down and touched her cheek. "You're looking at me different" she said. John kissed her roughly sucking on her tongue as he pushed her onto the bed. He broke it and found a softness in her eyes. John looked around for a condom until she stopped him. "I want it" she said. The half Mogwai man loved her more than he ever had as he pushed inside her. The woman in the cage shielded the eyes of her daughter as they made love. Poor John was so exhausted he didn’t last three minutes in her before he came. She wasn't angry at him. She knew he worked hard for them. He slept peacefully next to her until she got up. "Got the whole day. Can't waste it in bed" she muttered looking for her panties. "...monsters" she heard the shrunken mother say. Danica bent down.

"Did you call us monsters?" she asked. The woman quickly looked away. "I asked a question" Danica said opening the cage. She grabbed her daughter "Momma! MOMMA!" she yelled. "Don't hurt her! I'm one that said it!" the woman cried. Danica threw the daughter back in and grabbed the mother. "Pets need to learn not to talk back to their owners. Guess where you'll be today" Danica said placing her in the crotch of her panties as she pulled them up. Danica shivered as her screaming tickled her. "At least you got my fiancée's semen to eat for lunch" she snickered as she patted her crotch. "Momma! Give me momma!" the daughter cried yanking on the bars. "Sorry but mommy is in time out. She called me a bad name and has to be punished. You understand?" Danica asked. "...yes big lady" the girl said. "Good. Looks like training you will be easier than I thought" she said grinning at her.

"What else you got planned today?" Danica asked her mother. "Do you like Vietnamese?" Ebony asked. "For lunch?" Danica asked. "I know of an out of the way nail salon in Cambridge. We have lunch there after they paint our toes" Ebony replied. "They have a restaurant inside the...oh. Gotcha" Danica smiled. Ebony hugged her to her and walked with her out of their home. Her stone shined brightly but not because of the sun. She would end up getting compliments today for its beauty not knowing what it was and what horrors it too to make it..
