#4 of The Quest


The Quest chapter 4. The party gets a new member and Sabrina undergoes a change.

Sabrina's castle.

The white flash hit the old female wolf knocking her to the floor. She felt every hair on her pelt get pulled. "AAIIEE, this hurts!", Sabrina screamed as she stood up. Stumbling a few steps, the wolfess examined the scepter.

The scepter, according to Sabrina's probing, still had at least half of the energy she had previously measured. She spoke a phrase of a spell before placing it in a long box. "You're staying in there, and I am taking you to the order of magic users tomorrow.", the wolf said to herself and decided to look at the book again.

Her body began to feel strange all over and it disconcerted her. Sabrina decided that she would change her plans slightly and muttered to herself,"I am going to take a shower and then examine this book. I hope there is nothing wrong with me. When one is dealing with unknown magics, anything can happen."

Minutes later in the shower.

Sabrina worked the soap into her fur, thinking to herself,'I have breasts that are saggy and a large gut, plus bad eyesight. But such is the price of age. I wish I had the beauty I once possessed, or the vitality of Mala.' She mumbled to herself as she started to rinse herself clean of the shampoo and noticed that a greater amount of fur was shedding into the shower than usual.

As she saw this, she noticed that she was seeing details that normally would have gone unnoticed. One thing Sabrina noticed is that her eyesight was growing sharper! Then a rippling sensation went thru her old body and aches she had long grown used to were fading away. The wolf noticed her legs growing new muscles as she stood more steadily than she had been. "Ahhh! What's happening to me?", Sabrina yelled, leaning against the shower wall. She looked down and then turned her head over her shoulder to see the sagging flesh on her ass swell, then reform to a nicely rounded female ass, such as she had once had. The wolf's sagging, pot belly shrank to a flat stomach. As Sabrina thought to herself,'Oh boy!', a tingling sensation began in her breasts. The sagging breasts that were hanging there, now inflated and pulled up to become her original, full, firm breasts. Mouth hanging open is shock, she brought her hand up and saw changes were going on there as well. Bringing a hand in to view, Sabrina watched as her bony arm and hand grew new muscles!

"Aah! When is it going to stop?", Sabrina asked herself as her silver colored head hair began changing color, unseen. She saw a flow of color at her right shoulder and looked down, watching as a long strand of her hear hair changed from silver gray to a silver blonde. In another few moments the the changes to her body stopped and Sabrina felt better than she had in centuries! She was frightened but more scared that it was only a dream. This feeling of youth and energy was unbelievable but she couldn't bear to think it might be an illusion either. Getting out of the shower, Sabrina quickly dried herself and ran a brush thru her fur before running out of the bathroom and headed for her bedroom.

Minutes later, in Sabrina's room.

Sighing, the wolf looked at her new image in the mirror and gazed on her reflection. "Damn! I am hot again!", she said to herself as she held her 46 DD's and massaged them. Fingering the light pink nipples poking thru her snow white fur, she watched as they sprang erect and thrills shot thru her body. The fur used to have a yellowish tint to it, showing her age but not any more. She ran her paw down her now slender abdominal area and felt the tight muscles underneath the snow whit fur covering it. The wolf turned her head to look at her new nice ass, then a surge of energy entered her body and all of her aches went away.

Sabrina looked at her muscular legs and curled an arm admiring her bicep bulge and the feeling of strength in it. She performed a spell and discovered her current physical age. Sabrina went wide eyed as she said incredulously,"I am twenty years old again! It's been *** years since I was twenty years old. My body is going to experience things I haven't had to think about for ages! I better keep myself disguised till I learn is this is going to be permanent. What will happen when my urges begin and I go into season? How will Stephen react to it?"

The image of the lean young human male went on in her mind. A body rush went thru her and Sabrina found herself getting wet between her legs. "Damn, it's been *** years since I last had the urge to have sex.", Sabrina moaned to herself and her hand reached downward. Two fingers went in to the newly renewed vaginal canal that was ready to be stimulated.

Minutes later, if anyone had been outside the castle, they would have heard a loud wolf howl as Sabrina had an orgasm. She hadn't had one in *** years and it felt so good!

An hour later,in Sabrina's room.

She stood looking at the mirror. The wolfess no longer wore the concealing clothing she had formerly worn. Sabrina was wearing a medium, blue colored, one piece swimsuit with a V-cut that showed most of her large cleavage and abdomen with the female version of a six pack. The other change was her silver blonde head hair had been done up in a plait, with a jeweled comb in it. "Well, if you got it, flaunt it.", she said to herself with a smile and walked out of the room to study the old book.

That same moment, in the mountain range on the other side of the moon, in Mala's tent.

Stephen felt drained and his groin was sore. The young human male looked at the bluish gold color eyes of the kitsune, who was looking back at him. He took a hand and stroked between Maud's ears.

The kitsune made a murring sound, closing her eyes with pleasure. She grabbed his other hand and pressed it to her breasts, causing him to stroke them too. "Ah, that feels good.", Maud said softly and hugged him, pressing her petite body against his.

"Oof, you're very friendly.", Stephen said shyly. The difference between Maud and Mala, other than Maud having smaller breasts and three tails was, she had harder muscles than Mala, plus she had a floral smell to her musky scent. He thought, 'She is pretty cute other than that she didn't have long human like hair on her head.

Maud rolled Stephen onto his back and layed her body on his. She licked his chest and sucked on one of his nips, triggering a moan from the human. Maud asked,"What will it take for me to join your group? I have the urge to live for a time in a house rather than a cave." She licked him again and looked at him.

He shivered, looking at her unique eye color. The kitsune's eye color was a darker shade of blue than Mala's, but there was gold mixed in with the color, giving Maud an ethereal look. "You need to talk to Mala. she's the leader of this party.", Stephen answered. He half expected a prank from the kitsune, knowing the legends about her species.

Maud smiled at the young human male and said,"Alright, I'll have a talk with your sorceress." She got out of the sleeping bag and walked outside the tent.

A few minutes later, Mala and Maud reentered the tent, talking to each other like sisters. The vixen looked at Stephen in the sleeping bag, gave a smile and looked to the kitsune as she said,"We have to do something about this sleeping bag."

Maud looked at Mala and smiled. "Allow me to solve this problem sister.", she said with glee.

Stephen looked at the naked kitsune, seeing her raise her hands and they began to glow with a golden light. He watched as the sleeping bag around him grew larger in size. "Oh boy, now I am going to get to sleep with two naked vixens!", the young human male said with a surprise as Mala removed her outfit and Maud climbed into the sleeping bag with him.

Mala got in with him and Maud, then gave him a kiss. With a caress of his cheek, Mala told the excited young man,"I like her. She will be a good second mate to you."

Stephen gulped and asked as he looked over to Maud,"So, where's the locket?"

Maud grinned and opened her left hand, revealing the locket and said,"Right here, my mate."

Stephen tore his eyes away from hers to look at the locket. He admired the craftsmanship. The main body looked like a blue jewel carving of the planet Sirus. On each side of the planet was a gold carving of a three tail kitsune, holding the planet. One was a female, like Maud and the other was a male. Stephen blinked as a question occurred to him and he asked,"Uh, how come you can handle that? I was told that only males with magical abilities can handle it."

Maud laughed at that and answered,"You can handle it, but Mala can't or it will burn her. I can handle it because I am a kitsune." She looked at Mala apologetically and offered,"No offense sister but I have three times the magic ability of you and your teacher, put together." The kitsune saw question in Stephen's eyes and told him,"Just like Sabrina, I am not telling you my age. She's right, it's considered rude."

Stephen sighed at the two vixens hugging each other, caught in the middle. He considered how things had turned out and thought to himself,'Well, this place is a lot better than Earth." He was about to turn and put his arms around Mala when he fell asleep between two vixens. Mala knew he had expended a lot of energy in satisfying Maud and had made him go to sleep to restore it. After all, there would be time later for her to share her mate with her new sister. Mala smiled as she thought of the fun the three of them would be having together in the future. Now, he needed to rest so they could bring the locket to Sabrina.

The next morning, a castle at Flumen.

The young novice apprentice, a teenaged female wolf was startled as a portal appeared thirty feet from her. A figure wearing a black cloak with a hood walked thru the portal, carrying a long wooden box. "Stop and identify yourself!", the wolf challenged the black cloaked figure.

From within the hood came a strong voice saying,"Come on Ella, its me Sabrina. I have known you since I helped the midwife deliver you. I need to talk to Claire." The figure then stood and waited as the novice processed that.

Ella looked at the figure claiming to be Sabrina. She knew Sabrina and the venerable wolf would not have worn a black cloak that completely covered herself. She saw the white muzzle of a female wolf protruding from the shadow of the hood and said cautiously while not letting her guard down,"Wait one moment while I contact Claire. What is the reason for your visit Mistress Sabrina?" The young wolfess still wasn't convinced she was talking to Sabrina. For one thing, her voice pitch was different, plus her scent was Sabrina's but it was also different slightly.

"I have the first talisman but it's been damaged. There was a magic discharge of energy that did something to me, so for the protection of the inhabitants around my castle, I am bringing this object earlier than I had expected to.", Sabrina said with a precautionary tone in her voice.

There was a flash as an older, gray female wolf appeared. Ella watched as the two female wolves exchanged some secret phrases and confirmed that they were each members of the order. She saw the figure in the black cloak shake her head and Claire said something that caused the hood to draw back and reveal the visitor's features.

"What has happened to you Sabrina?", Claire asked in surprise.

Her teacher had changed a lot since her last visit, only a few months before when she had sent Sabrina to get the talismans. Instead of a muzzle with a slight yellowish tint to its fur and showing the bone structure thru weak muscles, Sabrina looked like an eighth year apprentice! The main difference was that she didn't have that naive look of a student. Claire had seen that experience gaze, that had been gained by many years but she still didn't know Sabrina's true age because she kept that a secret. 'Now she looks like she's in her late teens or early twenties!', Claire thought as she exclaimed, "Oh my stars teacher, what did I get you into? I must admit, I am a little jealous of your good fortune tho.", Claire said to herself.

Sabrina removed the cloak, showing her young sexy body was covered with a one piece bathing suit that revealed all of her curves. Sabrina said,"Let's go in and talk my student."

Claire held her tongue and followed as Sabrina led the way inside. Two months ago, if the two of them gotten into a duel, it would have been close. 'Now, I would not dare challenge her. With a young body with a high energy reserve and her years of experience, I would have to bet right now that Sabrina is the most powerful sorceress in the world!", Claire thought as she walked beside Sabrina. Her former teacher told her what had happened to her as they entered Claire's offices.

"If I were you, I'd seal that scepter in a secure and warded room. I wouldn't try repeating what happened to me, it might badly backfire.", Sabrina said as the two female wolves walked to a pair of chairs and sat down. Sabrina could see the thoughts turning in her former student's head and said,"No Claire, I don't want your job. I am happy being a teacher. I have just recently acquired a new apprentice that will take my time and attention to train. Maybe later I'll accept the job, but not now."

"You'll do a better job than me because everyone knows you.", Claire said. She looked again at her teacher's young body, a slight twinge of jealousy betraying her envy of Sabrina's luck. Claire put that aside and said,"Teacher, this is going to take getting use to, but what are your plans now?"

Sabrina shrugged her muscular shoulders and said,"I am going to complete this assignment and then I am going to start training my new apprentice, as well as finish training Mala. Now that I am young again, I won't have any problems with fatigue from training two students at the same time. They have just acquired the locket. I am going to head over there in a little while to get it, then I will deliver it to you. I am not going to study these items by myself again; I might end up an infant!" She heard a chuckle from Claire and saw a few of the male servants looking at her. 'Better get use to this. I admit, I am pretty hot looking now.", the wolf thought to herself as she walked with Claire to put the scepter in safe keeping.

The same time, in the mountain range, at Mala's camp.

Eleanor chuckled, watching as the newest party member helped Mala and Stephen pack up the camp. Unknown to the wolf/husky, the kitsune had tampered with her memories and Pete's. According to her and Pete's new memories, Maud had walked out from behind a tree and introduced herself.

Maud watched Stephen bend over to pick up a bundle. The kitsune licked her lips, looking at the human's trim ass and briefly caught sight of his scrotum because Stephen was wearing a pair of shorts. She rubbed between her legs and murred to herself but was interrupted by a finger tapping her shoulder.

"Sorry Maud, I get him first tonight.", said Mala from behind her and continued,"By the way, do you have any clothing to wear?"

The kitsune smile to the vixen and waved her hands. Light wrapped itself around the kitsune and dissipated as Maud asked with a smile,"Will this do sister?"

Mala sighed to herself, looking at the newest member of the party. She was wearing a type of modified bathing suit, not unlike what Mala was wearing. It consisted of a dark blue string top that concealed her nipples but barely covered her breasts. The two strips joined at her navel with a thin strip that covered her sex. Looking at the back of the kitsune, the vixen saw that Maud had the strip going up her ass crack where her tails emerged thru the strip. It went up her back into a V that went around her neck. Mala chuckled and said,"Ok, I see we're having a contest for who can wear the least amount clothing but I prefer what I am wearing. You win sister, I have way to big a set of breasts to wear something like that. I know Stephen will like it.", she thought to herself and looked at Stephen. Then a familiar feeling went thru her senses and a tingle made the fur on her tail stand out.

A white portal appeared with a figure wearing a black cloak. Just as the figure stepped thru, Mala felt a spell being cast. "Sabrina, how come you're covering yourself?",the vixen asked the black cloak figure.

Sabrina replied,"I am trying a new look, my apprentice."

"Teacher, you're a lousy liar. Why are you covering yourself up?", Mala replied suspiciously to the figure.

Sabrina, having years of practice at concocting stories answered,"I accidentally got burned by the talisman." The wolf saw Mala's concern at once upon the vixen's face and said dismissively,"Don't worry about me. I should be alright by the time you're done with this quest. Keep focused on your tasks and don't return to the castle till you have obtained all the talismans." She saw Maud looking at her and Sabrina held a gloved finger to nose, the only body part anybody could see as she said,"I see a new member has joined you. Hello Maud, it's been a while. How are you doing?"

Maud nodded her head and replied with a smile,"I'm doing fine my old friend, I hope you make a full recovery. Do you want me to heal you?"

Sabrina shook her head causing the hood to quiver and said,"It was an old magic spell that did this. I already performed a few healing spells but lets not take any more chances. Do you have the talisman?"

Stephen stepped forward and handed the talisman that Maud had encased in a glass ball, to Sabrina. He watched as the gloved fingers took it and pulled back inside the cloak. "Two down and two to go. I hope you recover soon, Sabrina.", the human said politely in his even tone of voice.

Sabrina held the talisman before her hood, eying the design and admiring the details of the planet and kitsunes. The wolf then looked at the young human male, and felt an urge she hadn't felt in *** years. "I've got to take this to my order but here's the location of the next talisman.", she said in a slightly different pitch, handing a scroll to Mala. "You'll have to fly to the next location again, so here are more coins. You're two days from Petra Nigra, where there is an airfield. I'll see you again when you obtain the chalice.", Sabrina told them, holding the glass ball. Summoning a portal she walked thru it.

Stephen turned to Mala looking at her, asked,"Can you summon a portal like Sabrina?"

The vixen turned to the young human and told him,"Not yet Stephen, Sabrina is going to teach that to me next year."

The young human nodded, shouldering his pack and followed the two vulpine and two wolf hybrids.

Two days later at Petra Nigra, customs.

The female cougar looked at the five party members, keeping her gaze the longest on Stephen. "Alright, here are the rules in this town. It is required of the vixens to put on regular clothing and the two wolves to allow their weapons to be peace sealed.", the feline said with the slight purr in her voice.

Stephan heard the two vixens muttered something, but Maud complained in a strange language. Pete and Eleanor glared as the two foxes wrapped thin wires on their weapons. The young human swore in French as Mala and Maud made shirts and blue jeans appear on their bodies.

"Don't worry Stephen, we will return to normal wear later on.", Mala said in calm voice. She continued quietly,"I don't think that's possible for a feline to do. They may be flexible but I don't think she can lick her own anus." Mala laughed softly as Stephen blushed, not knowing she had understood him. The party left customs and walked thru the town.

An hour later, at Petra Nigra airport.

Mala walked to the party, leaving the male cheetah at the ticket desk. She told them,"Here are our tickets. We're flying on the speed bird."

Stephens mind raced with the term Mala had just said. It was the call sign of British Airways and the famous Concorde airliner that had been retired in 2003. He followed the group as they walked to the passenger terminal.

Pete and Eleanor grumbled to themselves as they had to place their long swords in weapons check. The blades and scabbards were placed in a box and claim tickets were issued to the two wolf hybrids. "Don't lose these tickets; you can claim your weapons at the desk near baggage claim.", the vixen at the desk said handing the tickets to Pete and Eleanor.

Stephen felt a large hand touch his shoulder and looking over,he saw Pete looking at him with his glacier colored eyes. With a slight smile, he told the human,"My grandfather told me about this airplane. He helped design it years back."

The human nodded as they rounded a corner. He kept his expression neutral as the aircraft came in view. Speed bird was actually a copy of the Boeing 2707 or Boeing had been trying to copy the Speed bird in the 1970's.

Minutes later, the party boarded the aircraft thru the access gate. Once inside the aircraft, Stephen saw that the accommodation's were six abreast seating. It turned out that he was seated between Mala and Maud. The young human male smiled to himself as the armrests went up and the two vixens pressed their bodies against his. This was going to be a fun flight and Stephen relaxed as the aircraft taxied to the runway for take off.

Hours later, outside the city of Canyon Crystallum.

"That is so much better, those clothes were so constricting.", Mala said with glee as the shirt and jeans disappeared to reveal her regular outfit.

"I agree with you sister. I can't understand why the people in those large cities wear such constricting outfits.", Maud replied, making her outfit vanish to reveal her string outfit.

Stephen chuckled, following the party to the mountain pass and enjoying the view it afforded him. "Why are these talismans hidden in mountain ranges?", he asked himself as they walked upwards. He saw how the party was walking along a trench like trail going thru the pass. Eleanor was in front of him, but a feeling of dread went thru his body. Stephen spoke up and said,"Eleanor? I have a bad feeling about this pass. If you were an enemy, where would you be hiding?"

The female wolf/husky nodded, unsheathed her sword and gave two taps on Pete's right shoulder.

Pete nodded his wolf like head, unsheathed his large sword and put on his helm. Mala looked around, then she and Maud gave a look to each other.

Six figures jumped in front of the party but this time Stephen was armed. The young human male unsheathed the sword given to by Maud. The kitsune had bought the sword at the town they had just left. "Stay near me mate.", Maud said as she stood beside next him.

Eleanor got in a sword fight with one of the attacking Hymans. After the wolf/husky dispatched the figure, Stephen saw the hyman crumple like he was melting. He was soon in a fight of his own with an opponent. The young human held his ground, fighting the foe who had attacked him. The necklace around his neck fell off and a feeling of falling went thru him.

Stephen remembered the words Mala had said during the last fight and shouted,"Dies Inferno!" A large fireball struck the foe that was before him, plus it took out the last two enemies nearby and the four joining the fight. With surprise on his face, dizziness struck him and then darkness.

Sabrina's castle at the same time.

The young female wolf looked at her reflection thinking. Suddenly, a sensation went thru her body and Sabrina exclaimed,"Someone just used a large spell!" Sabrina used her keen magical senses to pin point where the spell had been used.

While she was doing this, Mala's image appeared in the mirror and said urgently,"Teacher, Stephen's necklace was damaged and he just cast a large fireball. His breathing is shallow and I can't completely heal him because I used most of my energy healing Pete and Eleanor. I need your help teacher!"

Sabrina kept a calm mind. Mala had done some things like that when she had just started as an apprentice. The wolf remembered that there was a difference between a male apprentice over a female. Sabrina told Mala,"I am pretty much recovered from my burns, but I still need to keep myself covered. Just give him essence and I'll be over with a new necklace in ten minutes. Don't do anything to Stephen; I'll deal with him myself."

The party's hastily made campsite, ten minutes later.

Mala looked at the unconscious form of Stephen, giving the young human the essence as Sabrina had told her to do. She was worried and fretted,"You shouldn't try such complex spells Stephen. I didn't do a fireball till my eight month of training. What is Sabrina going to do to you?"

A flash of white and Sabrina was with them. "I said, I'll deal with him soon.", Sabrina said as she walked in to the tent.

Mala hugged the cloaked figure and cried out with relief,"Teacher, I am so glad you're here."

Sabrina looked at the unconscious form of Stephen. She shook her head and knelt to place a necklace around the human's neck. "Take a walk Mala and relax. It will take me a few minutes to heal him."

Mala nodded and left the tent as commanded. The vixen looked back, seeing Sabrina hold her gloved hands over Stephen's body.

He awoke, seeing a cloak figure looming over him. "Crap, I am dead. And here I was just beginning to enjoy life.", Stephen said to the cloaked figure with fear.

The hood was pulled back, showing a young female white wolf with silver blonde head hair. She smiled and told him,"You owe me your life Stephen and for that, I am going to become your third mate. When you return to my castle, we will go thru the mating ceremony with Mala and Maud. You're going to be busy that night and the next day, you're going to start your training. It's been a while since I trained a male, but it will come back to me." Sabrina helped him to his feet and gave Stephen a kiss. "I got to make some changes in my castle, before you return there. I just gave you a little jinx so you can't tell Mala and Maud about my recent changes. I'll be telling them, when your party returns to my castle. I also forbid you to tell Pete and Eleanor."

The female wolf gave Stephen another kiss, and brought his hands up to fondle her 46DD's. "Can't wait till I give my new body a test drive with you. See you again when you have recovered the next talisman.", she promised the dazed young man with a smile.

Stephen then fell to sleep as a spell cast was cast by Sabrina.

The female wolf stroked the human's body admiring Stephen's slight muscular build. He had lost some body fat and gained some attractive muscles from the training and travel he had gone thru. Sabrina peeked under the human's shorts, looking at Stephen's sex organ. "Hmm, I wonder what that will feel like?", she said to herself as she pulled the hood back up on the cloak due, sensing Mala approaching.

The vixen walked in seeing Sabrina standing up and asked,"So, what's the verdict?"

Sabrina replied,"He will be fully recovered in the morning. I am staying here till you recover the third talisman so I'll have enough energy to summon a portal. Don't be hard on Stephen . . I gave him a new necklace with a stronger chain. Let me deal with him when he returns to the castle. I'll just assign him some extra cleaning like I did with you, Ok?"

Mala nodded watching her teacher sit down on a chair summoned by her and said,"Alright, I'll let Eleanor and the others know that we will get the talisman in the morning."

Sabrina grinned to herself in the shadow of the hood. The wolfess watched as Mala walked out of the tent and directed her gaze to the young human male. "For starters, you're going to scrub my body when you return and we will spend the night having sex.", she said to herself, noting that summoning a portal, plus healing hadn't drained much of her energy. With her old body, she would be very badly drained and in need of sleep right now. 'I am enjoying this new body.', the wolf thought to herself as she continued staring at the sleeping form of Stephen.
