Don't Eat Prey When He Still Live | Tiny Mouse Make Cat Women Vomit After 2 Hours Vore Swallow Him

"Alright, let's take a quick break."

Bull groaned with relief as she dropped herself down on a boulder. Vera had been driving them like slaves since they left Ramsgate. She ripped off her barbute helm to mop at her sweaty brow, and worked her shoulders where the straps of her heavy pack rested, her armor squeaking. She wasn't used to plate armor, but it was supposed to have a fireproof enchantment and they needed that if they were fighting a dragon. It was a dangerous job, but there was a lot of gold on the line and they were flat broke.

Bull glanced at Vera, standing on a rock surveying the mountain above them. Her once-silver amulet tarnished black and green, edges softened and surfaces pockmarked from stomach acids. She was wearing only a linen cloth with a hole cut for her head; in the panic following the previous day's events they'd forgotten to collect her blue robes from where they'd stripped her down and didn't have the funds to replace it. It only covered the cleric's front and back barely to the knee and left her exposed completely on the sides. She'd put on a belt to hold it in place, but that hadn't stopped Lily from eyeing her shapely hips and occasionally visible side-boob.

Bull noticed Vera looking at her and averted her gaze. She felt her cheeks burning with guilt, how could things be the same now that she'd KILLED her? She'd eaten her friend alive and even now carried some of her in a visibly larger layer of fat. They hadn't talked about it yet, and Bull wasn't looking forward to it.

Lily was splayed out in the middle of the mountain path, her bags abandoned a few yards behind. She looked about as sweaty and exhausted as Bull; Vera had demanded the two of them carry her baggage after what they'd put her through. The gangly elf panted and took a long swig from her waterskin.

"Fuck me, Vera, this is a bit much don't ya think?"

"Language." The halfling replied, not bothering to face her companion. "We're close but we need to get there before the dragon wakes up to hunt."

They had been commissioned by the local Baron to slay the beast, it had appeared from nowhere and taken his daughter; Sofia. Since then, the dragon had begun nightly raids on the barony; devouring people and livestock and setting homes ablaze. A reward was posted and the party had signed on, despite the risk. It was an awful lot of gold, especially when you had none at all.

"You've got two minutes and then we are back on the hike."

Bull sighed and Lily moaned theatrically. The half-orc ran her fingers over the strange etched runes on her breastplate before self-consciously tightened the belt, hiding more of her bulk as the leather creaked. Lily crawled to her bags and slowly shouldered her load. Vera smiled at the pair, hands on sizable hips.

"That's the spirit, let's go slay a dra-"

The massive dragon thunderously roared as it swooped low over their heads, scales like rubies and it's body long and lean. The companions ducked and covered among the rocks as a blast of flames blanketed the mountain trail.

"We can't stay here, we have to move!" Bull bellowed as the dragon turned for another flyby. Things were not going according to plan.

"If we go now, we'll get fuckin roasted!" Lily shouted, lying under a small outcropping.

Bull bit her lip, it was a risk but it was the best chance they had.

"We need to drop the gear and hoof it when it passes over, if we can make it to the cave we'll have cover!"

The three ducked down as the ridge was bathed in drakefire again, the moment the flames disappeared Lily was sprinting. Bull swore as she scrambled after, quickly shoving Vera under one arm as she ran.

Vera gaped as she was scooped up from behind. Her short legs and general lack of athleticism made it difficult to keep up with the other two. She was grateful for the assist but not too pleased with how she was being carried.

Bull had her cradled in one arm, but laying on her back with her ample buttocks gripped tight in the half-orc's gauntleted hand. Unfortunately this left her face wedged into armpit.

Vera coughed and tried to spit out the mouthful of wiry black sweaty hair, but her saviour had her held tight as she ran and the cleric was trapped. Bull was sweating heavily in the armor, now all that sweat was running down her face, soaking into her hair, and dripping into her mouth. She nearly forgot about the dragon attack as she attempted to breathe the musky, pungent air in the swampy armpit. She tried to cry out but just got a taste of salty sweat for her trouble. Gods, this was not how their return to adventuring was supposed to go.

Bull rounded a bend and spotted the cave, it was smaller than she expected but she caught a glimpse of Lily frantically waving her in from the darkened entrance. She felt a tickling in her armpit, Vera was saying something, but it would have to wait. She could hear the dragon roaring behind her.

The massive barbarian lunged into the cave and shoved Vera into Lily's arms before pulling out her warhammer and wheeling around to face the entrance.

"Get further in, I'll distract it!" She commanded, readying herself for battle.

"No," Vera gasped for air, her red hair a matted tangle, "we'll stay and-"

"Good plan, let's go Vera!"

Lily was already running deeper, with the cleric in a fireman's hold over her shoulder. Bull could hear the halfling's protests echoing deeper into the cavern. She tightened her grip on the battered wood shaft and braced herself. The dragon crashed down from above in the entrance to the cave before her with a tremendous roar. She immediately realized her error when it lowered it's head and blasted it's fire breath into the mouth of the cavern, the half-orc only having time to throw a gauntleted arm in front of her face before the fire overtook her.

------------------------------------------------------

Deeper in the cavern, Vera watched in horror as flames licked around the corner behind them, the wave of heat blasting her and blowing her hair back. Lily skidded to a stop next to a tight crevasse in the wall.

"Lily we need to go back and help!" Vera pleased, pointing back toward Bull. "She could be hurt or-"

Lily unceremoniously picked her off her shoulder and crammed the halfling into the rocky crag head first. Vera squeaked as she found herself stuck, wedged in by ample hips.

"Is there a room on the other side or should I grab your legs and heave you out?" The elf asked, a hint of mischief in her voice.

"Yes there's a small cavern but we really need to go back!"

"Perfect let me give you a push."

Vera squealed in indignant fury as she felt nimble elven hands grab her ass, one on each cheek. Lily kneaded the perfect round butt, squeezing and wobbling it, relishing the feeling of the bare skin on either side of the skimpy towel.

"Lily!" The cleric screeched, face reddening as she tried to squirm out. She was stuck fast.

"What? I'm trying to squeeze you in there. Not my fault your gods blessed you with the best ass in the mortal plane!"

Vera lashed out with her foot, catching Lily in the gut. She heard a satisfying wheeze as the rogue had the wind knocked out of her.

"Get up and push me through!" Commanded the cleric.

"Alright, alright," Lily gasped for breath, bracing her shoulder against her stuck companion, "no need to get angry. I thought you priests were supposed to be a peaceable lot."

With a firm shove and a loud POP, Vera tumbled into the darkened room, with Lily sliding through behind her.

------------------------------------------------------

Bull opened her eyes. She thought for a moment she must be dead, but she was still in the cave so that seemed unlikely. She was laying on her back, splayed out and aching all over. She sat up on her elbows to look around, she was covered in soot and the runes on her armor blazed red. The massive head of the dragon loomed over her, sniffing. Bull stayed as still as possible while slowly creeping her fingers over to the handle of her warhammer.

With a sudden roar, she swung the weapon with all her might at the side of the great beast's head, impacting with a powerful crunch. A few broken teeth clattered to the rocky floor as Bull took her moment and ran. The dragon thrashed and screamed, crashing against the cavern wall, causing tremors throughout the cave system.

Sprinting headlong into the dark, the barbarian hoped her friends has found a good position for battle, she'd need them in the fight.

------------------------------------------------------

"There is something wrong with you!" Vera emphasized her words with forceful pointing jabs.

"You're too uptight, Vera. C'mon let your hair down."

"Our friend is fighting a dragon alone and we're hiding in a dangerous cave?"

"This little passage is perfectly safe, we're just going to wait for Bull to draw the dragon past before we jump out and attack from the back." Lily leaned against the rocky wall, arms crossed. "Nothin' bad is going to happen."

A deep rumbling shook the chamber, nearly knocking the companions to the floor. With a horrible grating crunch, the crack sealed shut in a shower of debris. The pair stared at the collapsed exit.

"Well fuck me, I wasn't expectin' that." Lily said.

"We have to find another way, help me look."

The pair searched around the darkened cavern, checking for any sort of crevasse or tunnel that lead to the rest of the cave network. After making a loop they reconvened at the collapsed entrance.

"Did you find anythin'?" Lily asked.

"Nothing," Vera kicked a small stone across the floor in frustration. "Bull is fighting a dragon alone and we're trapped in here."

"Not for long with this!" Lily proudly held out what appeared to be a piece of cave fungus, glowing a pale blue with pulsating light. "A magic mushroom."

Vera looked uneasy.

"Be careful, they can be pretty unpredictable. You don't know what it does." She cautioned.

The elf paused and glared at her halfling companion.

"Of course I know what it does, my people have been usin' natural magic for thousands of years!" She stuffed the little pink shroom in her mouth, smirking as she chewed. "Alrighty I already feel the magic workin'!"

Gleefully cracking her knuckles she reached out to touch the rubble with her nibble fingertips. Vera rolled her eyes as her elf companion closed hers and began to softly whisper a gibberish incantation.

Suddenly she stopped dead.

"...wait a minute." She mumbled.

There was a pink light from the elf, followed by a soft POOF, and she disappeared, her equipment clattering to the cave floor.

"What a moron." Vera sighed.

------------------------------------------------------

Bull dove and clumsily rolled into a small side passage, narrowly avoiding a gout of flame. She had to crawl, the ceiling was very low but she knew it would be too tight for the dragon.

She hurriedly glanced over her shoulder as she dragged herself toward the next chamber, bracing for it to blast fire into the crevasse. Instead she saw it rapidly gaining on her, crawling in with room to spare.

Her mind reeled, was there two? Was this a young one? This was a much smaller dragon! She squeezed herself out into a larger cavern, spinning to face the tight passage and backing up defensively against a rocky pillar supporting the natural ceiling. With a roar, the smaller red dragon rushed out of the crack, slightly larger than a dog.

To Bull's astonishment, the beast immediately began to swell in size in the new space, not reaching its original scale but much larger than it just had been.

"Oh Hells." Bull breathed. She wasn't expecting a magic dragon.

The monstrous drake seemed to grin, reveling in her fear. It struck an imposing stance, arcing its great long neck to bathe the ceiling in flame.

The barbarian saw her chance. Whirling around while the dragon was distracted, she smashed her hammer into the natural pillar, breaking the load-bearing stone at its weakest point. Sprinting to the low tunnels at the back of the cave, she ducked down, hoping the runed helm would protect her head as she heard the ceiling caving in behind her.

------------------------------------------------------

Lily awoke in darkness.

At first she thought she'd been buried alive, she was trapped under a heavy layer of canvas or something. Crawling blind, she began to feel her way through the strange cave, she noticed more curious features. It almost felt like massive stitches in some of the cracks, and the whole place sort of stank like her armpit and…

She realized suddenly what had happened.

"Fuck, I better not be small!" She swore.

Confirmation came when the roof of her cloth cavern was lifted and light poured in, looking up Lily found herself blinking at Vera's giant disapproving face.

"How did your secret elven magic mushroom work out?"

Vera raised an eyebrow and the tiny naked elf. Lily made little effort to cover herself. She was standing with her hands on her hips, showing off her skinny but lightly muscled body and the intricately intertwined tattoos covering most of it.

"At least I had a plan to get us out!" The tiny elf shouted.

Vera's expression hardened. Lily found herself taking a hesitant step back as the halfling drew up to her full height. Vera was very short, but with Lily reduced to three inches tall she was a veritable goddess.

"Excuse me?" Vera's voice was cold.

"I said at least I had a…" Lily's voice faltered. She wasn't a smart woman, but she had enough intelligence to realize she'd made some mistakes.

Vera lazily extended out her slightly plump bare foot, giving Lily a firm but gentle shove in the chest, sending her sprawling. Before the shrunken elf could ride, she found herself winded as a heavy foot pinned her to the floor.

"Listen here, you little pixie." Vera leaned down over the struggling woman, a dangerous smirk on her lips. "I've had a rough week. I've been eaten alive, melted to soup, robbed, resurrected, lost my clothes, got an armpit to the face, been groped, and I've had to put up with your recklessness and ignorance for every second of it."

She leaned closer, applying a little more pressure to the reddening rogue. She found herself relishing this moment, a chance not for revenge, but to teach an important lesson.

Unfortunately for Vera, Lily was having trouble focusing on her words; she was incredibly turned on.

She'd never felt more powerless trapped under the soft foot. The way Vera carefully increased the pressure to a harsh but not harmful level, the big bare toes on either side of her face, the way the once-tiny cleric loomed over her. All of it was pressing her buttons, not to mention the fact that the angle meant the halfling's thick thigh was pushing her makeshift robe to the side, giving the elf the smallest hint of a peek at her underwear. Lily tried to make it less obvious she'd slid a hand down to her wet crotch, obscured by the giant sole, and stopped herself from nuzzling the toe that was larger than her head.

"Are you even listening?" Vera demanded.

"Oh, uh… yes!" Lily shouted, though she knew it was unconvincing at best.

"Unbelievable."

The giant halfling closed her eyes, muttering a prayer of strength to the All Gods. Lily took the opportunity to degrade herself by lapping at the sweaty toes imprisoning her, stopping just before the cleric finished her prayer.

Vera lifted her foot off the squirming elf, frowning down at her. She'd need to turn up the heat a little for this sinner, Lily was proving to be a hard nut to crack. The elf seemed to struggle with empathy, she couldn't imagine herself in another's shoes unless she'd been there herself. Suddenly, she had an idea.

Lily flinched as Vera unexpectedly dropped into a squat before her. Her eyes bulged at the way her "robe" barely even covered her groin, exposing those beautiful thick porcelain thighs and the jiggling splendor that was her sizable ass.

"Do you have any idea what you put me through?" Vera's tone was dangerous, her eyes were icy.

Lily tried to laugh to lighten the mood, but it came out awkward and strangled.

"Bull was the one who swallowed me, sure. She's partially at fault, but who's idea was it? Who lifted me up, egged Bull on, fumbled the rescue, suggested the fish?"

Vera leaned down, pinching Lily's sides between pale, chubby fingers. The elf felt her stomach drop as she was lifted rapidly, the halfling stood as she lifted her to face level. Laying on the soft palm, she felt exposed as the accusatory eyes bored into her, right through her very core.

"You did. None of that would have happened if you hadn't been there. And did you apologize? No, of course not. As you put it; everythin' worked out fine, didn't it?" Vera scornfully mocked Lily's lilting accent.

"I'm sorr-"

"No, you're not." Vera sighed. "That's the problem, if it doesn't affect you, it doesn't matter. I went through hell, I died alone in the dark, and you are not capable of understanding something like that."

Suddenly her grip tightened around Lily's waist.

"Unless you experienced it."

Lily snorted, she could see what was going on. The cleric was trying to scare her straight, make her live on the straight and narrow after a harrowing but fake close call.

"Okay Vera, let's talk for a second. I think you're maybe blowin' this out of proportion a wee bit, let's just-"

Vera lifted her in the air above her head, the sheer height making Lily dizzy. Below her was her friend's freckled face, framed by thick curly red hair. And those eyes, still judging.

"Whoa okay calm down, you're bein' a little irrational, don't you think?" She whined, the barest hint of doubt bubbling up in the back of her mind.

"Did you even notice I didn't have breakfast this morning? I used the bit of gold we had left to get food for you two, but didn't have enough for myself. Why? Because I care about you." Vera's eyes looked hurt, a little glassy for just a moment as a crack in her disciplinarian visage formed. "But I guess you're going to pay me back for that, we'll call it even."

Vera opened her mouth, plump lips giving way to pearly white teeth and a wet, dark cavern. Hot breath rolled out over the tiny elf as she clung to the tilted palm below her.

"V-Vera, I know you're not going to do it, just let me down and we'll talk!"

Lily was awash in a competition of growing fear and surging arousal. It wasn't that she liked the idea of being eaten, but being so powerless before her admittedly very attractive companion was doing things to her.

Bringing her closer, Vera snaked out her soft pink tongue, dragging it over Lily from feet to head. The flavor was underwhelming, a salty and gamey taste of unwashed skin, but she had to sell it to really drive her point home.

"You taste good, Lily. And just the right size to fill me up." She laid a hand on her soft belly for emphasis.

Lily was stunned. She had frozen up as the hot tongue slathered her in saliva, unbelieving that her strict, wet-blanket of a friend would go this far. If she was willing to lick her tiny naked body, there was no telling what she might do.

"Vera, don't do this." Her voice was weak and wavery. Her heart was in her throat, she was tense and felt like she needed to run, but there was nowhere she could go.

"Goodbye Lily. You're a better meal than a friend."

With that crushing statement, she tilted her palm.

Swearing, Lily scrambled up toward the fingers, looking for any sort of handhold to avoid tumbling into the gaping maw. Managing to grip a finger, she found herself dangling as Vera held her hand up over her head. The elf looked down in time to see plush lips purse around her ankles, sealing them in a tight embrace.

"Vera, please!" She cried, but her pleas were met with a growing suction around her legs.

She wished Bull were here, that big oaf would put a stop to this. She felt tears beginning to well up, she hadn't cried since she was a teen, gods what a mess.

With a wet SLURP, Vera sucked Lily off her fingers, pulling her into her mouth to the underarms. She could hear a pathetic wail cut off as she slid her tongue over the elf's face and arms to pull her inside.

As the nimble tattooed fingers disappeared between the cleric's plump lips, Lily was trapped inside.

------------------------------------------------------

Bull had a plan. If this dragon could change size at will, she had an idea of how she could defeat it. Luckily, the collapsed chamber had left little room for the beast to escape, it would have to be small to make it through. She was going to trap it. She reached for her pack, looking for something to contain the beast. To her frustration, she realized she'd left it when they ran for the cave.

The orc ripped off her enchanted helmet, sweat dripping from her brow onto her runed breastplate. What else could she do, she needed some way to take advantage of this rubble, she might not be so lucky moving forward.

A quiet scratching and clawing broke her train of thought. It was now or never, the dragon was coming through.

In an act of desperation, Bull shoved her wide mouth over the opening and held her breath. Almost immediately she felt small sharp claws skitter over her lip and into her mouth. She sucked hard and whipped her head back, ripping the now tiny dragon out of the hole, dangling by it's head and forelegs.

It started to grow quickly, Bull pinned it's wildly flapping wings to its sides and crammed it into her mouth. Sharp claws slid uselessly across the domed metal of her armor as she took the first gulp, sucking it's reptilian head into her gullet.

The scaled skin tasted rather unpleasant, a sour almost fishy taste. Bull tried to work the dangling lower half of the beast in as quickly as possible to get the flavor off her tongue. A few powerful swallows later, she was slurping up the long, whipping red tail.

Falling back against the cave wall, Bull could feel the drake wriggling and squirming inside her stomach. Suddenly, the motion stopped.

"Gave up already? I guess you aren't as good as you thought you were." She chuckled, rapping her knuckles against her belly through the breastplate.

A sudden hot sensation, increasing to a burning within her, gave her pause. She'd forgotten the fire breath. A pressure welled up in her gut, tempered by scorching heat, ultimately roiling up her neck.

HOOOOOUUUAAARRRUUP

Her enormous belch billowed forth as a cloud of black smoke and an ashy taste. She realized the runes on her armor were glowing again, fire protection activated.

"Hoo boy," she laughed, relief washing over her, "looks like your last ditch effort failed, beast. Time to find the others and get paid!"

Bull picked up her hammer and discarded helm, turning to the further winding passages in search of her friends. She was a little disappointed, it appeared the dragon had resized for her stomach and she wasn't even close to full now. Her gut let out a mournful gurgle, muffled by layers of metal and leather.

Then she felt something different, a change inside. There was almost a tingling sensation and the small form seemed to dissipate inside her gut.

"Uh, what's-"

There was a muffled FWUMP as a heavy weight dropped into her belly, something stretching her out from within, definitely larger than the dragon had been. Bull's balance was thrown, she tumbled back on the ground as the leather straps creaked under the strain. Bull moaned, fumbling at the clasps to release the pressure. The breastplate bounced free as her belly surged out from under it, bulging painfully tight.

Ripping off the breastplate and padded tunic underneath, Bull balked at the sight of her belly. It was very clearly stretched in the size and shape of a humanoid, curled up in a tight ball. The figure moved slightly, bulges sliding across the surface of the orc's flesh.

"What in the Hells?" She groaned, nauseated by the sudden overpacking of her belly. "Who are you?"

There was more jostling from the packed gut, prompting a silent sulphurous belch from Bull. Then a muffled voice came from within.

"Alright you win, foul orc. You can take me back to my father now for your payment."

"Uh…" Bull scratched her head, confused. "But the dragon…"

"I was the dragon, you dunce!" The muffled voice dripped with exasperation. "I have a special power, I can become a magic dragon whenever I want."

"But why?"

"Because it's fun. I like being powerful and putting others in their place. I don't need to explain myself to you, get me out of here and I'll consider having father let you live!"

Bull thought about that for a moment. If she let this apparent dragon-girl free, there was nothing stopping her from turning back into the beast and attacking them. This was a problem she needed the others to help solve.

"I'm going to put my armor back on, we have a cleric who can help."

Ignoring the muffled protests, she grasped her bulging paunch and hefted herself to her feet. Stumbling to a large rock she plopped her gut down, causing a flurry of complaints from within. With her belly supported, she set to refitting the straps in the clasps.

"Okay, this is gonna get a little tight." She warned, beginning to tighten the belts.

"No it is not, you're about to let me out right now, or I'll-"

Bull heaved at the straps with all her might. There was a muffled cry as the armor compressed her belly back down, crushing in on her unwilling occupant. Bull felt a large belch bubbling up, but realized at the last second it was more substantial that just gas.

With a loud BUUUUOURP, a slender arm coated in slime erupted from her gullet, clawing at the air for a handhold. Bull gulped, sucking the hand back into her mouth. Manicured nails dug into her green skin as the fingers gripped her bottom jaw tightly.

Ignoring the muffled fury from within her, the orc carefully pried the fingers loose. She managed to grasp a ring on one of them just as a loud ULP sucked the escaping appendage back into her depths, accompanied by a shriek of rage.

Latching the last strap, Bull was impressed she'd managed to fit it. A trained eye might notice the armor wasn't secured on all the way, and the orc wearing it looked a little bigger in the middle than expected, but she'd managed to compress down the bulge to a hideable level. Letting out a few more small burps, she examined the slimy ring.

"Give it back!" An extremely muted voice whined from her squeezed guts.

It was gold, with a large sapphire set in it. She could see engraved crests with a ram's head on a castle crest adorning either side of the gem. Bull shrugged and put it in her coin purse. It was easier to walk with the belly out of the way, but the weight still slowed her down.

As she trudged back through the cavern, she wondered what the other two were getting up to. Probably bickering, things had been tense since the incident. She smiled, ready to mediate whatever stupid argument the two were having.

------------------------------------------------------

"Vera, stop!"

The giantess worked her tongue around the elf in her mouth. Lily nearly filled all the space within, Vera didn't have the space to tumble her around like she'd planned, so she was rolling the poor girl back and forth, working her tongue over her. She was dimly aware of the sensation of her tongue passing over what had to be Lily's nethers and the occasional feeling of hardened nipples dragging over its surface, but she told herself she was doing this for her friend, to save her. It helped the elf couldn't see her cheeks burning crimson from the inside.

Lily's mind was awash in primal fear and overpowering arousal. There was a war in her mind to either crawl frantically to freedom or give in to lust and grind on the tongue below her. The sum of the two left her frozen in place as the tongue explored her stiff body.

She still couldn't believe this was happening, the Vera she knew wasn't the kind of person who would eat a friend, and she didn't think she'd go this far for one of her stupid "lessons". The fact is she had no idea what to expect, and that scared her.

Vera was beginning to doubt her plan was working. Lily was just sitting there in her mouth, waiting to be let out. She was frustrated, she'd surprised herself with how far she'd gone already, but it looked like she would have to take her farther.

Suddenly the tongue pushed up, pinning Lily against the roof of Vera's mouth. As she was dragged back and forth over the ribbed flesh, it pushed her over the edge. The elf quivered as an orgasm wracked her body. She felt herself gush on the cleric's tongue, which gave her a rush of fear and excitement. Then everything began to tilt.

Vera was just beginning to consider giving up when a strange tangy sweetness washed over her taste buds. She was about to dismiss it when she realized it coincided with the quivering she felt. Now resolved and more than a little disgusted, she tilted her head back. Carefully, she relaxed her tongue to let Lily slide a little bit, but not too far.

Inside, Lily shrieked as she was tilted back vertically and the tongue shifted. She clawed for something to grab, but found only well-lubricated teeth slipping from her grasp. Her legs slipped into the yawning chasm behind her, she felt Vera's epiglottis on her butt as she sunk down into the throat.

"Nonononono!" She squealed, hugging the slimy tongue as her descent slowed to a stop waist-deep.

Blinking tears from her eyes, Lily could barely think for the overwhelming terror. Tight muscle gripped her legs, light spasms squeezing her with hints of dangerous force.

Outside, Vera carefully subdued her gag reflex and fought to avoid swallowing the obstruction in her throat. Just a moment, she told herself, then I'll spit her out. She took a step towards the wall, still keeping her face tilted to the ceiling, when it happened.

She stepped on one of Lily's ball bearings and slipped.

Vera fell hard to the ground, landing on her hefty ass. She groaned, kicking away more of the errant ball bearings as she climbed back to her feet.

"Lily, you spilled your stupid bag of-"

She gasped, clapping her hands to her mouth and stifling a small belch. She'd accidentally swallowed Lily.

Peering down at her chubby belly, she could see a slight lopsided bulge under her left breast. She prodded it with a finger, the responding wiggle making her cry out.

Inside, Lily was in shock. She was in the fetal position, tightly wrapped in the slimy walls. It was pitch black, swelteringly hot, and the air was stale and sour. She tried to control her breathing, she was hyperventilating.

Something jabbed her hard in the side, she thrashed and screamed wordlessly. The elf wanted to go home, to go anywhere. She'd make up with her parents, join the family business, anything to not be trapped in here. She became aware that it was getting wetter, in fact a pool had formed around her while she was trying to will herself elsewhere. Her skin was beginning to itch, Vera's hungry stomach was reacting to food! She lifted herself out of the pool as much as possible, trying to avoid touching it.

Then it occurred to her, she could see. The once pitch black darkness was cut through by a faint but growing pink light, emanating from her own body. Confused, the rogue stared slack-jawed at the wrinkled flesh around her. Then suddenly, she was struck by a realization: the mushroom.

Vera knew she needed to act quickly to get Lily out. She uttered a quick prayer before preparing to make herself vomit. She'd just stuck her fingers into her mouth when she felt a strange lurch. Glancing down at her belly, she was horrified to see a larger bulge and a pink glow. Lily was growing inside her. A small burp from the displaced air slipped out as the cleric realized her peril.

Vera fell to her knees, jamming her fingers back in and gagging. Soon, she felt something coming up, but getting larger as it went. With a wet, gurgling retch, Lily spilled out on the stoney ground. Naked and splayed out, she appeared to be unconscious as she slowly grew back to her normal size. Crawling to her fallen companion, Vera hurriedly began muttering a restorative incantation, bathing the elf in white light.

Lily awoke from her nightmare looking up at Vera's regular-sized concerned face.

"Are you okay?" The halfling asked.

"Yeah I'm okay, Vera." The elf replied. "I'm sorry I've been awful. I know I've been a bad friend."

"I'm sorry I ate you. I was just trying to scare you a little, but I slipped and-"

"Don't worry about it, I came in your mouth so we'll call it even."

Lily laughed as her friend's face went crimson with embarrassment, she pulled the halfling in for a hug.

"You taste like you need a bath, by the way. Take one when we get back to Ramsgate."

"Shut up!"

A muffled voice interrupted the playful argument.

"Are you two fighting in there?" Bull shouted.

"Bull! Get us out of here!" Vera replied, rushing to the collapsed entrance.

"Stand back!" The orc hollered, raising her hammer.

Slowly she cleared the blockage, blow by blow. As the dust settled, the stuffed orc sidled through the now wider passage.

"Where's the dragon?" Lily asked.

"We uh… have a problem with the dragon." Bull replied, sweating. "Where are your clothes?"

"Is it coming?" Vera glanced nervously out into the dark.

"Well no, it's been taken care of, so to speak." The orc mumbled.

"Spit it out, then!" Lily laughed, leaning against the cave wall, still nude.

"I can't, she would transform again."

"Bull. Explain." Vera crossed her arms, giving her much larger companion a look.

"Okay. Uh… it turns out the girl we're supposed to rescue was sort of… the dragon?"

Bull shuffled uncomfortably. Gods she needed a drink. As if reading her mind, Lily pulled a flask from her pile of gear and tossed it over. The orc greedily sucked down the hard liquor, ready to feel like herself again.

"So where is the girl, dragon girl, now?" Vera asked, incredulous.

Bull finished the flask, tossing it back to Lily with a belch.

"She's right-"

There was a dull metallic thud. The three paused as it reverberated around the cavern. Then another thud, clearly coming from the orc's tight breastplate.

"Right here."

There was an echoing CLANG as the straps gave and the breastplate swung free. Bull's green belly spilled out, weighed down by the struggling woman inside. The orc carefully eased herself back down to the floor, resting her thrashing gut between armored thighs and letting a silent, smelly burp breathe out.

"Did you eat her before or after the dragon turned into a girl?" Lily asked, eyebrows raised.

"...and why?" Vera added. Her eyes were locked on the squirming belly, she seemed miles away.

Bull grimaced, nausea rising as she struggled to restrain her passenger.

"Before. The dragon was magic, it could grow and shrink at will. I forced it small and ate it to avoid fighting one-on-one, then this happened." She gestured vaguely to her middle.

"Are you lettin' her out? She looks liable to escape herself, you're a bit more green round the gills than usual!" Snorted Lily.

"Just wait, you wretched little pests!" The shrill voice was muffled by the thick flesh, but the words were just audible. "When I escape, I will tear you apart! I'll burn your homes and devour everyone you've ever loved! You will pay for-"

Bull cut off her rant with a ground shaking belch.

"That's why I haven't let her out yet." Bull sighed. "What do we do?"

"...leave her in."

Both Bull and Lily turned to Vera. The halfling was still staring transfixed at the bulges. She looked troubled but resolute.

"Vera…" Lily began.

"Our quest was to slay the dragon and rescue Sofia if possible." Vera stated blankly. "If we rescue her, the dragon attacks will resume. Meaning we just won't rescue her."

Bull frowned.

"Isn't that against your vows or something?"

Vera finally tore her gaze from the belly, hard eyes meeting Bull's.

"Freeing her would unleash more death and destruction on the world. The baron would be blamed for his daughter's crimes, the kingdom would destabilize, and we'd be seen as charlatans. The best outcome for everyone is for the dragon to have eaten her, and you slew it."

Lily blew out a long breath through her teeth. Bull hiccupped. Vera pointed to the orc's midsection.

"Digest her."

There was a muted cry and a flurry of activity from the stuffed green orb of flesh, Bull groaned and clamped down on it with muscled arms.

"And by the gods, Lily, put your clothes on!"

The elf grumbled as she gathered her gear from the floor. Vera approached and gently knelt next to Bull.

"Hey, uh… sorry if this is weird for you." Bull mumbled, unable to meet her companion's eye.

The halfling touched her cheek, turning her face toward her weary smile.

"It's okay, Bull. It's going to take some adjustment, but I can sense the work of the gods here." Her smile faltered a little. "Besides, I just had to throw Lily up a few minutes before you got here. I can relate."

"You did what?"

Vera blushed red, hesitating before opening her mouth to answer.

"Fuck!"

Lily had slipped on one of her ball bearings while pulling on her pants, knocking the wind out of herself on the cave floor.

"I'll tell you about it later." Vera sighed, shaking her head. "For now let's get rid of this dragon. Take off your armor."

Bull clumsily unfastened the remaining straps on the enchanted armor, removing it piece by piece as Vera prepared a few things from her small pack. Lily crawled around gathering the last few loose ball bearings as Bull shrugged off the last of the armor in a heap, leaving only her undergarments.

The orc was dripping with sweat, running rivlets through the soot from the flames. Her already dingy linen wraps had been marinating beneath her armor, they were visibly damp.

"Ah, feels good to take that off." Bull sighed, relaxing back against the wall. Her occupant had calmed for now.

"Okay if I have to have a bath in town, she needs two." Lily fanned the smell away from her face.

"I have to agree with Lily on that I'm afraid." Vera grimaced as she knelt back down next to Bull's belly. But for now I think I have a way to move things along."

The halfling watched the clear outline of a human foot stretch out the belly from behind the navel, sliding down and disappearing among the hair leading to her groin. Taking a moment to clear the memory of her own struggle in that same belly from her mind, she laid her hands gently upon the stretched gut. Whispering a prayer to the All Gods, a pale green light danced off her fingers and vanished into the skin. The struggles inside slowed and stopped.

"What's that do? Digest faster?" Lily cocked her head.

"Sleep spell. Knocking out Sofia is both a mercy for her and Bull."

"Looks like it was a little too effective."

Vera glanced up, Bull was out cold, beginning to snore as drool dribbled down into her cleavage.

"Well, let's get to work. Come on, massaging will help." The halfling rubbed her hands together and began to knead the bloated flesh. Lily joined her on the other side, the two working in tandem on the gurgling gut while Bull drifted off in peaceful slumber.
