Proof-reading: A very heartfelt
thank you
to CoffeePilot for his time and patience.
The numbering, I suck at it. Yes, I remember that this is technically supposed to be Part 4.2, because the previous part was called 4.1, and they once were just one item called "part 4".
I'm not quite sure why I thought that 4.1/4.2 thing would be a good idea. Anyway, enjoy the tale, no matter how it's labelled.

Altaerna β A world, where the laws of reality may become mere guidelines at any given time, where magic and machinery are intertwined, where all those things creeping in the shadows of fantasy may step forward onto the mind's stage.
This story unfolds in medieval times, around the 12th Century. 1185, if you're one for nitpicking.

A word of warning, before you even start reading: A lot of what happens in this story focuses on the rather weird fetish of Breast Expansion (BE) -- from A to D, and occasionally up to and ultimately beyond the size depicted in Woody Allen's "Giant Breast" skit in "Everything you always wanted to know about sex" (the 1972 movie). If you thought that was hilarious, or unsettlingly arousing, you're more than welcome to continue reading. Of course this tale has action, tension and fighting (in short, "conventional" storytelling), too.
However, if you are put off by the sheer offbeat weird impossible flight of fancy that is BE, you probably shouldn't bother with this tale.
Thank you.

Once upon a time ...
The year is 1185, the world is Altaerna, and the place is somewhere in the temperate climate where people are mostly pale and mostly stubborn.
A winter ago, a lithe and lissom young woman saved a handsome young fisherman from drowning. The fisherman's would-be fiance, headstrong cold-hearted not-so-young Menena, the town's mayor and wealthy shop owner, didn't take it lightly when her trusted maid Barbara and her well-equipped secret boy toy David fell for each other hard and fast despite being unable to join in carnal pleasures (on account of Barbara's nethers being a thimble and David being ... rather more than that).
Consumed by jealousy, Menena saw to it that David was banned from the town, with Menena maligning him whenever she could. Barbara was given the boot but still found a little lenience in Menena's eyes for the years of service, so the lithe blonde was allowed to spend market days in the side streets where she's now trying to sell for a living the fishes that David catches with his tiny boat and his worn nets. The outcast couple of twenty-somethings got secretly married and made it through their first year, living a life of privation in a tiny hut atop the cliffs, hours from the town.

Part 1:
Spring has returned. Going for a swim while waiting for her husband's return, Barbara hits upon a drifting net chock-full of fish while her other half David makes but a single lucky catch out at sea. Reunited, the young couple retreats into their favorite hideaway to have another go at their most pressing problem, their inability to consume their marriage properly. Still unable to succeed, they resort to each other's dexterity like the many times before.
As Barbara prepares lunch gutting the fish David brought, she discovers a valuable pendant in its belly. Putting it on, she β is woken by her husband, hours later. Not only has she developed quite the appetite for the unfamiliar fishes that the new net seems to attract, she also suddenly succeeds in devouring herculean
meat
(wink, wink). When David sets out to a bigger and more distant town in an effort to sell more of his catches, Barbara ends up doing a little self-exploration on a moonlit night. She
also
ends up with quite some more
Barbara
before the night is through. After a day spent in fear and despair, and lucky for her self-conscious mind, a) most of it has disappeared again by the time Dave returns, and b) David doesn't mind the surplus left on her at all.
As the next market day comes around, Barbara squeezes into her now ill-fitting old clothes and is about to go on a quest for answers about what has befallen her, and her first stop will be the town's healer and midwife. Alas, the market isn't over yet ...
~
Part 2:
Following Barbara's erroneously assuring visit to the town's midwife, Barbara and David indulge in Barbara's new voluptuousness and carnal hunger. As her ever-increasing desires begin to overwhelm David's abilities, he searches for a second opinion on the strange pendant and gets advice from a young, traveling, bad-tempered, dark-skinned dancing girl called Yrba who also happens to be witch. Meanwhile, back home alone, another outbreak of multiple expansion hits Barbara as her strange visions once again cross over into her reality. When she wakes the next morning, more than just her most eye-catching attributes have changed ...
~
Part 3:
After David relays his tale of the meeting with the witch, Barbara allows him to hide away the pendant. Barbara's worries about her husband's response to her increased voluptuousness prove to be unfounded. As they celebrate their reunion after the days of separation, some of the power fueling Barbara's transformation is passed on to her husband, enlarging his one already oversized attribute even further while shielding their minds from becoming suspicious.
With David away on his next trip to the city, Barbara attempts to better her standing with her former mistress β and it backfires in ways that the poor young woman never would've expected. Weak, drained and more chest-heavy than ever, she staggers home ...
~
Part 4 (aka 4.1):
Much to her horror, Barbara's body draws its own conclusion after her mammaries have been relieved of a bucketful of milk at her former mistress' hands, and it decides that a pair of massively swollen breasts capable of lactation by the gallon is the way to go. As Menena arrives the next morning, Barbara is helplessly chained to the kitchen table by her two humungous orbs brimming with milk. Menena discovers the enchanted pendant and decides on a whim that her favorite milk source isn't big enough yet. She ties up Barbara and leaves the helpless young woman exposed to an even bigger dose of the trinket's otherworldly powers.
David returns the next morning only to run into Menena. Tempers fly as the bossy woman realizes that her former boy toy will stay true to his wife no matter what ...

The twitter of morning birds outside the poor hut returned, filling the desolate silence inside after Menena's haughty departure. Barbara covered her face with her hands and sobbed quietly. Her shaking shoulders sent ripples across the white promontory of her gargantuan, immobilizing, magic-infested mammaries. David leaned with his back against the wall, fists clenched in desperate rage. He slowly slid down, groaning in anger and banging the back of his head against the wood and loam again and again.

Barbara propped herself up on the yard-long, stuffed pillows of her breasts. She moaned faintly as her elbows dug into the flesh and sent a wave of arousal through the sensitive mass.
"Oh the gods, David, what are we going to do? She'll turn us both into her slaves! She'll lock me up and make me into a
bed
, and she'll chain you to it and turn you into her stallion, and you'll have to breed her on top of me every night! She's become sick in the head like that!"
He jumped to his feet. "Barbara, we'll use the boat! We'll β"
Barbara spread her arms, her gesture encompassing the breathtaking cause of their predicament. "David! Think about it. I'm heavy like, what, maybe three or four people now. We'd capsize before we're across the reef. I'd sink like a stone, and I'd drag you down as well."
He sagged down to his haunches, hanging his head.
"There must be some way to escape! Some way to undo all this, some spell β"
David hesitated, then turned to his wife. "Listen, dear, I'll β I'll try to find that witch again, maybe if I beg her nicely, she'll be willing to β to take another look or something, because if this isn't magic or a curse or a hex, then what is? And once she's freed you from it, we'll go somewhere far away where Menena can't find us. She can have the pendant for all I care."
Fear carved trenches into Barbara's forehead.
"You can't leave me alone, not like this, David!" she gasped. "It took you two days just to get there, the last time! We don't have that time, and if you're not around tomorrow morning, I β I dare not think what she'll do to me! The gods, she'll milk me to the last drop and then I'll grow even more! I'll swell the house apart! And she'll be watching and cackling as I flatten our home with my β my β" She ran her flat hands across her thin-stretched, sweat and seed covered skin. Tears itched in the corners of her eyes.
"I won't leave you, Barbara," David replied, gently closing his big hand around her slender fingers. "We'll run from her together. Roughwater village and the witch's wood is not that far away. We'll pad out the cart all nice and cozy, make a nest for your chest, and before you know it, this madness will be over."
"The cart!" Barbara slapped her hands on her mouth. "Oh my goodness, I hid it in the grove just outside the village! You mustn't go near there!"
"Don't you worry, dear. I'll pick it up and they'll never even see me doing it."
Barbara's breath came faster and deeper as she pondered her husband's words. She finally raised her head as she felt the rekindling flames of hope. Her mouth curved into a smile.
