Chapter #6A Temple Like Structure by: Unknown "Huh." Krystal stood up as she took in the sight. "Fancy that."
It was a rather ancient-looking temple. The stone blocks it was made of, presumably once intended to shine with a golden brilliance, were showing many years' worth of decay. Any luster they might have once had faded away to a muddy yellow with plenty of missing bits and pieces. Moss and vines had grown all over, and most of the structure itself was slightly obscured by a small group of trees. A rather typical-looking temple structure, save for the river Krystal was following. Between two of the trees and off to the side of the main entrance, an opening was letting the water flow through.
The blue vixen scratched her chin. "So I'm on a planet I know nothing about, drinking from a river that goes from salty to sweet as I go further up, and it seems to come from this deserted temple." She put her hands on her hips. "Must be one of those places, then. Still, I'd have to be the most unadventurous lady in the galaxy to not look inside."
Nodding to herself, Krystal began to walk over to the temple. She only hoped that whatever crazy thing was probably going to happen to her wouldn't be too terrible.
------
Again, the blue vixen could help but say, "Huh." It turned out there wasn't all that much to see in terms of architecture. The main entrance only led to a circular platform with nothing more than a podium of sorts. What really stuck out was the water surrounding the platform. More specifically, the fact that the water really did seem to come from the temple itself. Fountains perched on the walls poured steady streams down to the ground below, which then flowed out the side opening.
It actually does come from here? How strange.
Thirst was no longer an issue for Krystal at that point, so she made her way over to the podium. Engraved on its surface was a paragraph in a language she had never seen before. Strangely enough, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with the writing, as though she did actually know the language.
"How in blazes can I recognize this when I've never even seen this language before in my life? My home planet never had any scripts like this. It's far too curvy for that to be the case!" Krystal rubbed her temples. When staring at the writing for an extended period resulted in nothing, she let her eyes wander to the wall fountains. "If that water gets sweeter when it's closer to the source..."
She crouched down at the edge of the platform and, taking a quick breath to steel herself for whatever weirdness would inevitably ensue, brought her open mouth down to the water. Her taste buds were immediately assaulted by a sweetness like no other. It was like honey, only twice as strong and twice as addicting. The vixen drank away as though she hadn't had a drop in days. Only the need for air could stop her binge, and even then only a few seconds at best.
After coming up to breathe the fourth time, Krystal finally herself away. She wiped the liquid dripping from her muzzle and adjusted herself to sit down on her rear.
"Well, that was certainly something. I never knew water could be so addictive." The vixen patted her belly. It had become just the tiniest bit distended, and the contents sloshed around noisily. "There's definitely something special about it. The taste? Or maybe that's just a part of it..."
As Krystal started rubbing her stomach, a calm fog fell over her mind. She sighed. Nothing sounded better than just sitting there all day and... and...
And what? Krystal frowned. Do nothing? Why would I want to just sit here and do nothing? I've got liquids covered, certainly, but there's still the matter of food! And what of the purpose of this temple? Just who or what is it built for?
She got to her feet and was caught off-guard by a weight she did not remember having. A few seconds of stumbling back and forth passed before Krystal was able to get any solid footing. That was when she realized just where the alien weight came from. She looked down and was greeted by a pair of breasts a touch bigger than she imagined. The change was barely noticeable from a cursory glance, but closer inspection revealed furred tit flesh that was straining against her suit a little more than usual. She could still see her feet, at least, as well as the modest bump that her stomach had become. Bringing her hands to her rear revealed that it too had gone up in size. The change there was more readily apparent, as it was softer to the touch than she remembered and had more to grab.
A heavy sigh left the vixen's lips. "At least now I know what makes this temple so special." Another sigh, and Krystal moved toward the podium, surprisingly having little difficulty adjusting to her new proportions.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
