The knight bashed through the door of my hut without even bothering to call out first, his blows splintering the wood. I wasn't surprised by the assault. I had seen this man in my looking glass even before he started his journey to my abode, riding into my forested realm from the far-off castle where he dwelt. He was called Constantine; I had read the name on the lips of women cheering his departure from the capital. A handsome man, but far too chivalrous for my tastes. And now he was standing before me, sword in hand.
"We can do this peacefully, Morgana, if you only just surrender," Constantine offered, smiling at me. The arrogant fool wasn't even wearing a helmet.
'I'll show you what happens when you underestimate a master witch,' I thought gleefully, wiggling my fingers about as I focused on what I wanted to do to the man. He was rather cute, but so full of himself...perhaps it would be best to bring him down to size.
"I'd offer you the same deal, sir knight," I replied sweetly, stretching my hand toward him. "But honestly, I find resistance much more entertaining." With a flick of my fingers, a wave of swirling magic rushed forward, the purple cloud engulfing the man, and...
...bouncing back at me!
I barely had time to cry out as the smoky spell enveloped me, snaking down my throat and inside me. My body immediately began to tingle and convulse, and as the mist dissipated I looked at the man in horror. "Y-you...how did you...?"
"Oh?" He replied nonchalantly. "I heard tales that the great and powerful Morgana could see everything from your swamp." I tried to spit out a reply, but all I managed was a pitiful little cough. I hugged myself, suddenly feeling as though I was swimming in my clothes.
"So naturally I assumed you knew that prior to becoming a knight, I was an enchanter for the king," the man prattled on as I sunk into my own dress, pawing at the fabric in an attempt to keep my modesty. But it was a losing battle; I knew exactly how small I had wanted to make the man before me, and it seemed that the spell had been bounced back perfectly. I dwindled down to where my head was at his waist, then down to his knees...shrinking farther and farther, becoming lost in my dress as the fabric swallowed me up.
"It wasn't easy to make an amulet that could take more than a spell or two, but I was pretty sure you'd be foolish enough to try and throw something huge at me right away, rather than hit me with lots of little spells. Your arrogance is pretty widely known." The man's words sounded muffled as I pawed at my dress, struggling to climb out from underneath it. It was as if I was stuck under a tent that had collapsed, crawling around and searching for a way out.
"You change me back this instant, or I'll make you suffer!" I shouted furiously up at the man, punching miserably at my satin prison.
"What was that, Morgana? You want me to...range your cat?" The insolent knight chuckled. "You know, it's difficult enough to hear you down there with that ridiculous dress on top of you. Let's get you out of there."
I felt rather than heard his footsteps, making me tremble with every impact. Before I even knew what was happening, I felt my whole world being lifted up, squished and shaken. I let out a frightened shriek as I tumbled about, finally falling out from my cage of clothe onto something warm. I blinked at how bright everything had gotten, hoping that as my eyes adjusted things would begin to look better.
There was no such luck.
The warm thing I was sitting on was the hand of the man who had done this to me, his skin pressing against mine. The situation was already humiliating enough, but I was as naked as the day I was born on top of it all, my now-tiny chest on full display. I held my thighs together, denying him the sight of my sex...even though I was sitting bare-assed on his hand. He loomed over me as I squirmed in discomfort, trying in vain to cover my shrunken self. I wasn't even large enough to fill his hand! I chanced a look down and held back a squeak of fright; even though the ground was only a few feet away, it may as well have been miles away. There was no way I'd be able to hop down.
"Now, what were you saying, you silly little thing?" Constantine smirked down at me, and I had to fight the urge not to bite his stupid fingers.
"I said, you better change me back right this second, or I'll curse the hell out of you!" I screamed up at him.
He shrugged, and I stifled a yelp as I rolled about in his hand. "Be my guest. At that size, my amulet could easily handle any spell you could throw at me. It'll be interesting to see what's in that nasty little head of yours."
