Random Thoughts(4/19): Back to this story again!
Random Thoughts(4/24): Sometimes, I wonder how much a field day I'm having with writing. Also somehow this story maintained more views than my parody.
Random Thoughts(4/26): Imma be real with you all. I've been literally writing the first things that come to my head for half the chapter's storyline.
Random Thoughts(4/27): Grammarly hates me Obviously.
Issia woke up with a yawn, rubbing her eyes and ears with her werewolf paws. Wait that's weird, they are human hands. Probably not-
Wait...
She looked in dead silence at her regular, perfectly not monsterized hands. What the fuck happened last night? Did a guardian angel come and bless me with my pure humanity? She looked around. Wasn't in Calice's room anymore, she was at home. Sweet Sweet home...
She ran outside, hearing snoring coming from what used to be Calice's room. She peeked in, happy tears coming to her eyes seeing Calice sleeping in the bed. Oh, gods, everything is slowly getting better and better!
She ran downstairs, greeted by her mom and dad. She hugged both as if she had been gone as long as Calice. "Mommy, Daddy! I'm so happy! can I go outside? Please Please Please!?"
"Alright kiddo," the father said, ruffling her hair even though the ends were already tied up into a bonnet. She ran outside and found her friends, and headed down to the fairgrounds to play, and play, and play. This was a just perfect day that could never end. She closed her eyes to relish in the dizziness of ring around the Rosie, the nostalgic smell of mamono being burnt at the stake mixed with the smell of freshly cooked bread.
Then she opened them. "Why am I laying down again?" She asked herself as she looked around. She looked around, seeing the familiar sights of Calice's bedroom in the Village. "It was...all a dream..." she said as she looked down at herself, seeing a bunch of books in her lap. Calice had asked her to read some books so she doesn't completely lose her mind and go find a wolfpack to live in. True to his word, it's been working. However, she now can still remember her past, and as much as she can she can't get over it all the way.
Calice has been gone for a while in Wonderland, and according to the letters from the Jub Jub, tending to the architecture and styling of almost all the buildings and royal clothing, and making toys for the Queen of Hearts. Each day, the Jub-jub post girl comes with a Jabberwock to deliver a case filled with enchanted jewelry and gold coins. Coincidentally, Melisa will disappear for two to three hours, and half of everything in the case would be gone...
Adrielly's friends had found her, so she now comes and goes periodically. In general, things had calmed back down. Other than the occasional client in some sort of feud with another, there wasn't much interesting going on. Kali had learned how to use her sword to cut through metal, so now she spends the time in the workshop taking orders to cut specific patterns out of the iron. Mei helps out back there, making sure the building isn't destroyed in the process. That left Issia to man the counter, which now has an iron nail file and the gift dagger from the Orderites hidden under from view in case she had to fight off someone on her own(The nail file is for her to sharpen her claws while looking at whoever's on the other side).
Back to our current time, Issia now fully awake hopped out the bed, sliding downstairs by the rail. She immediately caught a whiff of good smell coming from the kitchen. She peeked in to see Mei, looking at a cookbook while water was boiling on the stove, a giant egg sitting on the floor under Mei the size of a small kid
"Ok, so now I have to crack the egg...oh hi Issy. You woke up?" Mei said, looking up from the book and at Issia, face closer to a smile than usual.
"Hi Mei, why do you have a giant egg in the kitchen?" Issia asked, partly confused about not what is going to happen, but how...
"Oh, this? I'm making a scrambled egg. Why?"
"Well...one you don't em...make that with a pot of water. Two, the egg doesn't look like it would fit."
Mei simply shrugged. "I've been wielded by many powerful people. I think I can handle this mishap." She then got a stick and hit the egg, cracking it. Almost immediately, a pink mist shot out of it, covering the entire kitchen in smoke and making Issia cough profusely. "Oh sorry, forgot you are still kind of human and require breathing," Mei said while she floated over to her to pat her back. As soon as the smoke cleared, a tiny roar was heard. Both Issia turned their heads to the sound, looking around the room.
"Did you cough hear that Mei?"
"Yeah..." The tiny squeaky roar was heard one more time, but this time the duo had pinpointed the noise. It was coming from the giant egg. More specifically, it was coming from inside the egg. They both looked at each other, Issia in shock and Mei with her trademark placidness, however now having a bit of 'i'm innocent' in her waning glance.
"You were going to cook a-"
"Sssssh." Mei put a finger on Issia's lips, then patted her werewolf ears. "Let's just see what species it is, then get it out of here before that Valkyrie comes back in a few hours," She said as the lower part of the cloth nudged the crack wider inch by inch until it had snapped open. Between the two broken shells layed a baby wyvern with pink scales and covered in embryonic fluid. Her eyes were closed, but she already had tiny wings and a tail. Other than that, she looked like a completely normal baby. "Mama?" the baby cooed as she looked at Mei and Issia, and giggled. "Not mama!"
"Oh good the baby already knows who she is somehow," Mei said as Issia picked up the wyvern baby. "Ok, but what now? We don't know where its mom is, and neither of us knows how to take care of a baby!" Issia said, the Wyvern's tail poking at her breast repeatedly.
"Of course I don't, which is why you are going to be the mother until we find the real one," The Ittan-momen said, kicking the eggshells out and opening the fridge door. "You think you lactate? If not then I might need to find a recipe to make you lactate."
"Or just make something that tastes like breastmilk to feed the baby?" Issia said, tilting her head.
"What did you say? I had just finished the potion. Now open wide."
"I'm not drinking th-" Issia was cut off by Mei forcing her to drink the potion in the vial. The werewolf gagged defiantly until she gave up, drinking the rest of it only so she won't accidentally drop the wyvern baby. "Now, try to breastfeed her. Just lift your top, which should be easy since you only usually wear a bra and a skirt nowadays..."
"Hey!" Issia exclaimed, a blush growing. "It's just really hot..."
"Sure it is. Now come on and lower your bra or something." Issia nodded and lifted with one hand, and raised the wyvern she was rocking in her other hand to her Areola. The baby breathed a small pink flame then latched on to the breast, immediately sucking with intensity.
"My c-chest feels hot Mei...what's happening?"
"The milk is being produced then excreted through your nipple for the baby. Now let me help you sit down," Mei responded as she pulled up a chair and sat the breastfeeding Issia down on it, watching her cradle the baby as she coos. She brought up a piece of paper and a quill with ink and started drawing her, smirking. "I should really wake up Kali for this..."
"More More More!" The Queen of Hearts said, jumping up and down in front of the door into Calice and Bella's bedroom, knocking repeatedly. Eventually, the door came open, showing Calice and Bella sleepily looking down at her, both naked(except for Calice's underwear on) but not awake enough to notice. The Alice/Lilim blushed, rubbing her shoulder instinctively. "I s-see that you were em...b-busy...so can you make me more toys?"
"Your Highness, may we go back to sleep?" Bella said, still rubbing her eyes then leaving on Calice's shoulders. "I want to go back to cuddling my hubby like a pillow..."
"Unless you are going to have sex once you close this door, I'm not budging!" Said the Alice, folding her arms and turning around defiantly. "You know," Bella started, "I won't mind another round with C- wait where did he go?" The Bicorn looked around, not seeing him in the dark light. She turned on the light, seeing Calice making a doll in the corner of the room, quickly stitching fabric together around stuffing with his eyes closed. The Queen shuffled over and sat in his lap, watching the toy being made in front of her eyes with glee. "This aura of yours is amazing! Shame you can't use it to it's fullest though..." He simply yawned in response and patted her, placing the now completed doll in her lap. It immediately came to life with red glowing eyes, playing in his hair for a few seconds before hugging the Alice's waist.
"Yay! You may go back to sleep now while I play with this dolly. Come on Jessie!" She said as she hopped off the lap and ran out the door, the doll growing to her size and running after her giggling with childlike wonder and joy. "That always looks cute for some reason," Bella said, watching them disappear around the corner into the maze-like castle hallways. She turned off back off the lights and lifted the once again sleeping Calice off the chair, climbing back onto the rosy bed and nuzzling him drowsily until she herself fell back to asleep.
They both woke up for real this time, smiling to each other as the sunlight shined through their room. It was officially their last day in Wonderland, and now that Calice and Bella had finished all their work(and convince the guards to at least try to keep the Queen of Hearts from tracking them down for spontaneous toy-making), it was time to enjoy themselves fully. They quickly put on their clothing and walked with each other down the hall, and out the castle. Then after some kissing, they teleported to the market district of the kingdom, seeing sweets to and fro. "So, where shall we go first Calice?" Bella asked as she lifted him onto her back and started walking around, licking her lips at what to buy. "How about yawn the place with the cakes that turn you into a shota for 2 hours?"
"Oh yeah, I did wanted you to eat that so I can feel what its like to carry your little body around..." She thought to herself as she trotted over to the stand and bought a slice of cake for him, then another in secret for later. "Wait, I was only partly serious about that..." Calice said, his sleepy eyes now more slightly open from surprise.
"Well, you should have said that before I bought you the cake. Now open wide~"
"I'm not going to-" Calice was cut off by a forkful of the cake being pushed into his mouth by a random Cheshire, which immediately disappeared to watch what happens from afar with some buttered popcorn. His body started shrinking down to a boy's, his usual ruggedness replaced by the looks of a 4 foot, 8-year-old boy. Bella placed the plat of cake aside and carried him in her arms, glowering with glee. "Eeeeeeee it worked! You look so adorable!"
"I feel weird Bella," he said with his childish voice. "So, should we go to the mushroom forest now?" Bella shook her head and moved him around until he was being cradled like a baby. "We are going home my little shota, and you have no say in it."
"You can't do that!" Calice starts trying to squirm out of her grip, only to find that his strength and stamina had been reduced to a small boy's too. Quickly tired by the effort, he gave up and relaxed in her arms, folding his arms defiantly. the Bicorn smiled and kissed his belly, eliciting a giggle from him. Encouraged by it she continued, the giggling turning to full blown laughter. "Hey that tickles!" he said in between breaths and laughter until he had fallen asleep again, snoozing in her arms.
"Issia is going to love this," Bella said, laying him on her centaur back and trotting away through the mushroom forest and rain, then eventually on the path home. Unknowingly to them, the Cheshire from earlier followed them through the air and treetops, still watching them with her seemly infinite supply of popcorn in her bag.
"Thank you for the red dust, young werewolf!" The Leader Blue Oni as the others picked up the bags of Redstone and started walking away. The leader dropped a case of coins and whiskey in return, then patted her and the wyvern cooing sleepily in her arms. "So, I guess you did it with a futa wyvern?" Issia looked at her in surprise and shock at the tall demihuman, confused. "Oh no, she's just a stray I found and I'm taking care of her until her mom finds us," she responded, feeling slightly awkward about the whole thing now. "Oooooh, so it's the classic 'was about to cook an egg on a stove but then it hatched' thing?" The Oni asked, peering curiously into Issia's eyes. This only left Issia even more confused, tilting her head back at her. "That's an actual thing?" was the first response that came to the werewolf's mind.
"It happens more often than you think it would," the Oni said as she started walking out the door. Right before she exited through, she chuckled and turned around. "Just last week I found a case for wine, found a harpy egg in one of the actual bottles. That ended up being a strange Thursday!" Slam went the door, leaving Issia completely bewildered at this point, and alone in the front. The door to the back opened a while later, Kali peeking out to look at Issia and the wyvern baby. Her face was coated in Redstone dust that kicked up during the grinding(or slashing) of it. "How is the little wittle baby?" She asked, making funny faces at it. The baby giggled then sneezed, blowing a ring of smoke that poofed once hitting Kali's nose.
"She's fine. I just wish the mom will come through the door and finally take her back to her real home," Issia said, yelping a little when the wyvern started sucking breastmilk from her again. "Aww...it must be really hungry to be drinking milk almost all the time," Kali remarked. "Don't worry Issy, it just takes some time, luck, and plot. Her mom could fly in at any moment right?"
"Ok, but what does plot have to do with any of it?"
With that sentence, and as if on cue, the door creaked open. Standing in it was Melisa, smiling as if she was hiding something behind her back. Before anyone could ask her, she stepped aside, revealing a pink wyvern, her eyes brightening with relief as soon as she saw the baby. She flew over to hit and nuzzled, the baby nuzzling back and flapping her little arms/dragon wings at her mother. "Mama, Mama!" it said repeatedly, reaching over from Issia to be in her mother's arms instead. Issia gladly relinquished her gently, immediately putting back on her bra and relaxing on the chair she had been sitting on for the entire day.
"Thank you for taking care of my sweet baby!" The mother said, playing with the baby cutely. "Is there anything I can do to repay you?" Issia just shook her head. "It is the least I could do, although now I know she really likes breastmilk."
"Well yes, our species tends to be on the hungrier side. Alas, now we are reunited and I can fly back home. Tadaa!" With that, the wyvern flew through the ceiling of the workshop, leaving a human-sized hole in the roof as they flew away from the village. "Wait, isn't Calak supposed to be back today?" Issia said, now suddenly full of worry. This entire day had been a weird one for her.
"Well yes. Why do you seem so wo-oooh it's the hole," Melisa said, digging around until she found hammer and nails. "Well then, guess we have to get building then right?"
"Yeah. At least it can't be worse right?" At the terrible mistake of a question, the doorbell rang, followed by the familiar soft kick of a Bicorn's hoof. "Hello? We have retuuuuuurrreeeed, and I have the best thing to show you all~"
In that moment, Issia and Melisa looked at each and knew...this was the end for them.
