#8 of Ilkarin

Ilkarin is tired of having to struggle so hard and not gain anything from his experiences at the gym. A friend then suggests seeing a special dragon to help Ilkarin unwind a bit.

What happens next is, well...easy to guess. =P

-The Inner Self-

Plopping down on a couch, the dragon gave a soft exhale.

"I'll never be as big as those others at the gym are." He began to rub a red scaled hand over his face. Ilkarin was what one could describe as athletically built: his body was tall and slender, muscles showing under his slightly baggy clothing. He had honed and worked his body for years to get his far. He had pushed his muscles and body on a daily basis to not only keep his figure but also because he did enjoy the challenge it presented, among how much more energy it gave him.

The red dragon was wearing little more than a shirt and pants, having just finished a workout recently and washed up. A thick mane of blonde hair topped his head near his horns.

One drake in particular came to mind about such advice: Eldrikke. He was known as being a grand dragon whose figure and frame could put many bodybuilders to shame. Sadly the emerald dragon was unavailable for such a problem, despite his earnest response and desire to help a fellow bulk up.

Ilkarin then decided to check out another dragon that 'drikke knew and would be glad to offer his assistance if he could not.

Pulling out the paper he had been given, the red scaled dragon studied it over and ignored the directions he took to get to this apartment. His eyes lingered upon the name.

"Nyst Baiwen."

"You called?" A voice said from seemingly out of the air as a boyish, yet decently muscular silver eastern dragon almost pranced out from another room, wearing little more than a tank top and shorts. A sapphire colored gem stood out on the center of his forehead.

Ilkarin snickered at the irony; even this dragon was bigger than him. Before he could begin to explain his situation, Nyst chimed in.

"You must be Ilkarin. Eldrikke told me you would be coming along today. He said it had something to do with working out?" Nyst's silvery whiskers danced in the air as the gem on his head glowed. Was he happy?

"Yes. I have been having trouble feeling anything worthwhile from my weight training. I lift the weights and do the cardio, but it just doesn't feel the same."

"Ah. Have you tried increasing the weight?" Nyst gave a toothy grin.

Ilkarin rolled his eyes at the obvious solution. "Yes, but such needs to be a steady increase or finding the right balance between the amounts of weights to maintain a certain physique. It doesn't work anymore."

Nyst sat down next to Ilkarin, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Might I suggest a diet change, or perhaps some supplement enhancers?"

"No thanks. I do not believe in supplements, and I watch my diety; I only eat meats, fruits, and vegetables. I also avoid anything too fatty or heavy in carbohydrates..."

The silver dragon's whiskers twitched in thought as he soon perked up.

"Oh! How about I try a massage? You do seem to be working those thick muscles of yours pretty hard."

Ilkarin blushed. His muscles were tough sure, but thick? Hardly. Nyst's hands then began to touch his shoulders and a soothing tingle passed through his body though the slender dragon tensed up at the silver's hands.

"Shh. Relax yourself, Ilkarin was it? I cannot do my work if you insist on being as hard as a rock."

The red snickered at that somewhat, wishing he could be. He body began to turn into malleable clay among Nyst's hands. Perhaps he could learn a few massage tips from the dragon.

"How's that? Are you feeling anything hon?" Ilkarin blushed at the way Nyst was talking to him.

The gem on the silver's head began to pulse and glow as Nyst continued to loosen up Ilkarin's muscles. The dragon shifted a little against the touch, almost swearing the other dragon's hands were loosening his muscles up, because his clothing started to feel tighter against his frame. Nyst's own clothing seemed to be doing likewise.

"Ohhrr." Ilkarin heaved a happy sigh. "Have not had a rub like this in a while..." He shifted once again, soon blinking as he pulled at his shirt and pants, both getting uncomfortably snug on his figure.

"Oh?" The silver gave a giggle. "Well, we're just getting started, so enjoy the sensations." Ilkarin flicked an ear, swearing he heard fabric ripping.

The red dragon nodded, giving an exhale as he began to feel strange sensations passing into his body. It was not helped by the sound of more strings snapping apart.

"Nyst, what are you..." He gasped, finally taking notice that his clothes were ripping apart. He was growing! He could physically feel it and saw his slim muscles bunching and swelling, as if some unseen, magical force was causing them to grow and expand.

"You tell me. I'm not doing anything but giving you a massage." Nyst blushed and his own body appeared to be expanding as well.

"Are you sure there is something you aren't telling me?" Ilkarin blushed as his biceps ripped through the sleeves of the shirt and his thighs tore lines down his pants. If this kept up he would be unable to fit into any of his clothes.

Nyst just giggled, his gem seeming to glow again as he trailed his hands down Ilkarin's back and gave a soft murr of satisfaction. "See, all your muscles needed was a little TLC." The silver blushed as his own shirt and shorts ripped in various places, his own pecs and thighs seeming to also become effected by whatever happened to the two dragons.

"W-well...stop doing it." Ilkarin tried to protest but turning around to face Nyst, he heard a thick ripping as his shirt broke open and was left in tatters, revealing his now bulking biceps and thick pectorals, along with a good six pack of abs. His thighs and feet also appeared to be swelling as he was soon left with nothing but his boxer shorts. The growth did not just seem to be affecting his muscles as his shorts were holding one heck of a tent in them.

"Hehe...I would if I knew how..." He said honestly. "But dear me, you look so fetching like this, why stop such a gorgeous transformation?" Nyst seemed less phased by his growth, but he too began to have less clothing on his figure and began to lean forward toward the swelling red dragon.

Ilkarin squirmed a little, his boxer shorts slowly becoming more and more like a thong to his expanding frame, his eyes half-shut in a sort of serene pleasure transmitting through him. His body at least double or triple its original build as he panted, finding Nyst approaching him even more. The silver crawled over on all fours, his tail swaying as if being playful, but also increasingly aroused at the same time.

As Nyst's expanding chest touched Ilkarin's, the red dragon blushed deeply, his red cheeks turning a dark purple as he grunted, also feeling their masculine parts grinding against one another, seeming to have also swelled and expanded with their bodies and muscles.

"Someone's enjoying themselves." Nyst gave a soft giggle again and bumped his head against Ilkarin's pectorals.

The other dragon panted, his eyes gazing along the silver's figure, every contour and tensing portion of scaly flesh dominated by rippling fibers. He shook his head, knowing he did not want to engage in such activities, especially with Nyst who he had only met briefly before, but dammit, the sensual tingles, sweat, thick scent of male musk, and just how happy the silver appeared to be...it was contagious.

"K-Kinda hard not to, when it feels so good." The red dragon panted, his boxers soon snapping off. Both dragons would have seemed to look like heavy bodybuilders considering how large their muscles were by this point, but Ilkarin was not sure how much hotter his face could get as his enlarged shaft bounced and fell free from the confines of his clothing, a heavy set of balls below.

Nyst's gem again seemed to pulse and glow as the silvery dragon soon "crossed swords" with the red one, a mix of yin-yang as Nyst's white shaft grinded against Ilkarin's black one.

"Can't argue with you there hon. Perhaps you need another massage? You are still looking a bit tense..." He smiled that charming, boyish smile to Ilkarin. The red dragon was sweating now and his scales seemed to glimmer and shine in the light of the room. The couch was creaking under the combined weight of the growing dragons.

"N-no thanks. I should be getting along. You really did help me in ways I did not think possible." He gulped, fighting with himself if he should push on with what was happening or just leave for the sense of it becoming a little awkward.

Nyst pressed in and kissed his cheek. "Let it go, Ilkarin. Stop holding yourself back..."

Ilkarin gave a soft nod and then felt tears running down his cheeks as he roared, his body growing even further, his height easily passing Nyst's new size and he seemed to become more and more like some kind of supernatural beast, almost behemoth in his new size.

Ilkarin dug into his inner self, feeling the immense pool of energy that lay within. It began to spread outward and rise to the surface as his body started to sweat and muscles simply pushed to unimaginable sizes. He practically loomed before Nyst when he exhaled.

The silver dragon below almost fainted at the sight, his tail wagging furiously in excitement as he beamed and hugged what he could of the dragon's abdomen.

"Now this is more like it."

Ilkarin squirmed as Nyst kissed his nose.

The red dragon felt another tingle shooting throughout his body as the couch collapsed beneath Nyst and his combined weight.

"Oh dear, now I need a new couch." The silver looked to Ilkarin then and gasped. "Oh my..."

"What? What is it?" Ilkarin scratched his head and then looked down at himself.

He. Was. Huge!

If he was standing, Ilkarin would have almost touched the ceiling at a twelve foot height. His body almost dwarfed Nyst's currently as ever inch of his figure pulsed and rippled with solid muscle.

"Nyst! What magic did you use? You kissed my nose. Did you make me grow?"

"Nothing Ilkarin! I would have known if I was using any magic to do anything to you. You did not ask for any magical alterations so I neglected to use any. We must have coaxed out what you are inside. What you can be if you just had some confidence in yourself. I think. Maybe..."

The red laughed and shook his head as he gave Nyst an almost crushing bear hug. Despite the strange circumstances for how it came about, Ilkarin was jubilant.

"Thank you Nyst. I guess all I needed was some unwinding."

"And a little 'magic' of course." The silver winked, giving a playful squirm in the big red's arms.

"You really think this is what I could have been with a little more confidence?" The red motioning at his hulking figure.

"Ohr, yes yes!" Nyst bobbed his head enthusiastically. "Eldrikke told me you have a lot of 'oomph', but you are afraid to let it all out. But I never thought it would make you such a dragony dragon. Rarrr."

The silver practically bowled into the behemoth of a dragon Ilkarin had become and began to kiss over his neck and pectorals.

"Boy, someone is a bit frisky."

Nyst just giggled and cuddled up next to the large dragon. "Hard to resist a smexy dragon like you."

Ilkarin flexed a few muscles. "It's because of these, isn't it?"

"No no. Not at all. There is something about you that separates you from other dragons."

"Oh? What might that be?" The big red let his large finger caress over Nyst's mane.

"Hurr...um..." The silver's eyes closed under the pleasant touch.

"Well, most dragons seem to be like Eldrikke. Very rawr and wanting power and I'm big and stomp, smash-"

Ilkarin neglected to take in Nyst's rambling conversation as he let his mind wonder if the muscles really were a part of him or if they would expire, as magic was usually never meant to become permanent.

"-and that's how must are. But you, you are a kind dragon. One that is cuddly snuggly."

"So I see. I will admit this experience has left me a little fatigued, would you mind if I took a nap here?"

"Here? Oh no no, dragon naps are about as good as cat naps, only more dragony."

Ilkarin blinked but nodded. Nyst really had a way with words and expressing himself. Before long the big red had drifted asleep and Nyst curled up with him, whispering:

"I don't mind at all, lovely behemoth of a dragon. It can be lonely, and such grand company is appreciated." His hand casually brushed over a massive pectoral.

"Besides, you really deserve to show everyone what a great dragon you really are."
