Everyone in the hut was in high spirits that morning. They sat down to a hearty breakfast and discussed the best way for Meg to travel to see the Lady of the Valley. At this point Shandalar and Saria entered the hut. Saria was carrying a bag.
"We have a bag you can use to carry your provisions. We will pack some food and water when you are ready to go," said Shandalar.
Shandalar and Saria had shaved their straggly beards and tidied up their hair. They had scrubbed up very well. Saria looked quite the dashing young man, if a little too pretty. It appeared that the curse afflicting the land gave females the bodies of men, but it did not give them male faces. As a result, when the cursed females shaved they revealed their female faces. Saria could not take his eyes off Meg. She looked hot in her brown suede leather outfit.
Moira collected the bag and started packing it with some clothing. He noticed Saria staring and gave him a nudge.
"You look fabulous in that outfit Meg, be careful the men don't get too excited." Moira said while busily packing clothing into the bag.
"Leave some room for food and water, looking sexy will not be helpful if Meg is hungry and thirsty." Shandalar said with a laugh. They all laughed.
"Have a look around our lovely village before you leave. I'm sure our people will be happy to help you with anything you need," said Theoden.
"Before you go anywhere, let me cut and tidy up your hair. It looks such a mess," said Moira before fetching his hair care kit. Moira cut Meg's strawberry blonde hair back to fall around her breasts, getting rid of any split ends and giving her hair a luxurious sheen.
When Meg looked in the mirror she liked what she saw. Her hair now fell just over the top of her breasts, helping to display the fullness of her bosoms, and she had a fringe which made her look prettier.
"Put on the black leather dress for going about town. It is more becoming for town wear." Moira prompted as he handed Meg the shiny black leather dress to try on.
The black dress was one piece and quite tight. It was beautifully soft and stretched to fit her like a glove. At first Meg was embarrassed by how closely it fitted her. Every curve on her young body was being shown. It was laced up the front going from below her belly button to just above her breasts. Meg had to bind the lace tightly to meet the overlap to fully cover her bosoms.
Moira kept preening the dress to make sure it fell properly. It fell not far below Meg's butt cheeks. Meg felt very self conscious about wearing it.
"You look fabulous in that dress. Much better than what I did, believe me, men could not resist me as a young elf when I wore this dress. They will faint when they see you in it," said Moira beaming with pride. "It is a little short because I made the dresses to fit my height, but it looks better on you than it did on me."
"Moira, you sure you want to give me this wonderful dress?"
"What am I going to do with it? Look at me! No one in the village can wear it. All my best work is going to waste. I wish I could give you more, but then you would not be able to carry the bag. Give me a hug." Moira wrapped his strong arms around Meg and held her tightly to him, squashing her tits to his chest.
Moira was excited to see Meg step out in his outfit. Before Meg stepped out the door Moira fussed and fiddled to make sure it fell to his liking. Moira stepped out of the hut with Meg, studying how the dress looked as she walked. He was happy with the wiggle of Meg's hips and the wobble of her bum cheeks. Meg did it better than he ever did as an elf maiden.
"Go take a walk around town. They will want to spoil you but be careful they don't overcharge you on anything you buy. Don't be too hard on the men, they can't help themselves." Moira said with a chuckle.
Moira then lent close to Meg's ear and whispered "you will have noticed that Shandalar and Saria looked quite pretty when they shaved. The females who were converted to men are noticeable as "shemales". They have male bodies, with male chests and penises, but female faces."
"That must be very confusing for the men." Meg whispered back.
Moira nodded "it was difficult to get used to at first. The women (shemales) lost all interest in men. The curse made everyone strictly heterosexual. Shemales grew beards to avoid attracting any men. I dare say some have shaved their beards this morning so that they might look fair to your eyes."
"Oh, I hope I don't disappoint them," said Meg a little anxiously.
"Don't worry, you won't disappoint them. I have tasks to attend to, I'll leave you to wander the village on your own." Moira said with a twinkle in his eye.
The black leather dress and the new haircut made Meg feel sexy. She wondered if it was too much. She discovered she liked showing off her body, she enjoyed being desired. There was a sexuality in being desired which she found stimulating. Nevertheless, Meg did not want too much attention. She kept tugging down the hem of the dress and checking that her front was laced up properly.
While Meg was strolling around the village, she was surprised to see many elves were clean shaven and scrubbed up. They smiled and waved to get her attention. Meg smiled and waved back. She was the largest and only female they had seen in years. She was a larger than life celebrity and sex object.
A crowd of shemales started to follow her around. They started to get very close to her, brushing against her. Meg was not a shy girl, nor was she sexually bashful, but some in the crowd were taking liberties about where they put their hands. She saw a delightful trinket shop and thought it would be a good time to get away from the crowd.
The old trinket shop owner saw her look in the window and he signaled her to enter his shop. The crowd wanted to follow her in, but he shut them out.
"Come in and have a look at my wares, and take a break from the crowd" the old elf said with a smile. "All those people following you were previously females, as men they have not had the opportunity to interact with women. Needless to say, this has made them very curious and frustrated. When a woman becomes a man, she wants to know how it feels to have sex as a man. It has been the most frustrating dilemma in the village."
Meg realized then that she could not stay in the village long and had to move on soon. The shop owner went about shutting the windows so the crowd outside could not look in. The atmosphere in the small shop suddenly began to feel intimate.
Meg cast her eyes around the shop and was dazzled by the quality of the jewelry.
The shopkeeper lit a few candles to give the room a more romantic feel before approaching Meg once more.
"Have a look at this lovely bracelet, pure Elven silver and craftsmanship. Let me put it on your wrist. No obligation to buy." The old elf said as he took Meg's hand and slipped the bracelet on her wrist.
"This bracelet is beautiful. You make such marvelous work. I'm sorry I would never be able to afford your jewelry," Meg said looking disappointed.
"I'm sure you can afford it. I might be able to do you a deal for that bracelet. Come with me to the workshop and we might be able to work something out."
Meg followed the owner to a small room at the rear of the shop. He gestured her in ahead of him. He stepped close behind Meg and reached around her body, 'incidentally' pressing against Meg's bum, and picked up a silver bracelet from the work bench in front of her. "Try this one on. It is not as fine as the one you are wearing, but it is still quality. Let me put it on you."
The owner's adept fingers quickly removed the ornate bracelet from Meg's wrist as his cock desperately pressed against her rear. In the course of reaching around to do this, he managed to also brush his hands against Meg's bouncing bosoms.
"Look how fine the silver is. It looks beautiful on your wrist. You like it?" The shopkeeper's hot words brushed Meg's ear from behind.
Innocently, Meg looked at the bracelet "I'm sorry but I have no money and could not afford anything in your shop" Meg replied wrinkling her nose.
"That's okay, no harm in looking, and admiring, and touching." The shopkeeper said with a quaver in his voice as his eyes studied Meg while she admired the bracelet. He slyly pressed his crotch against Meg's butt once more.
"That bracelet looks so good on your wrists. You can keep the bracelet if you would do one little favor to earn it. You do want the bracelet don't you?" The shopkeeper said in a coarse voice, getting a little excited.
Meg continued to look innocently at the bracelet and feel it as it glistened on her wrist. "It is a beautiful bracelet, but I can't see what I could do to earn it."
The shopkeeper, breathing heavily, now rubbed his crotch more boldly against Meg's round bum cheeks.
Meg now became aware of that slowly expanding penis rubbing against her ass. Her eyes and mouth opened wide in surprise.
"What favor would you want of me?" Meg slowly asked, with her head tilted and an arched eyebrow.
"Miss, I will give you that bracelet, if you just let me touch your breasts. That's all I want. One little touch, surely that's a favor you can give to a lonely old elf like me. That's not asking too much for that bracelet." The shop owner whispered his dirty offer, and in a second, from behind, he darted his hands around and grabbed two handfuls of Meg's tits and pulled her against him.
