Somewhere in the wilderness of the Andanian Empire about a two days march from the capital

???? [POV]

“Ahhhhhh~! That wasss a nicccce damn nap! Ahh~. I can’t even remember falling assssleep.” ‘Wait a minute . . . I really can’t remember falling asleep.’ But it seemed like it was still not very bright out, so instead of worrying about that I called up my AI. ‘S0Ph13 tell me what time it is please.’

"Huh?"

‘S0PH13? Oh come on, again? I don’t have the money for another AI!’

“Bossss~!? I think my AI isss broken again!” Despite having used my best little girl voice she didn’t respond. ‘Whaa? Is the Boss not here?’ I was just about to get up and look for her when I realized that something was wrong with my eyes. I was pretty sure I had opened them, but all I could see was lights flickering around behind a milky screen. Trying to figure what was going I went to touch my eyes but instead of two hands touching my face, I felt six of them all over my head! Jerking my hands away, I felt the bed beneath me somehow shift around the place.

“Ahhh! What isss going on? And why do I lisssp!?” I blinked for a few times and soon enough my vision returned. Yet what I saw there didn’t really do much to reassure me. I was in a cave just big enough for me to stand up; the light of flames flickered on the ground and wall and gave view to even stranger things. All around me were weird little lizard people! The little guys seemed to perform a dance around a circle with me at the centre. They even were wearing little loincloths and hammered around on small drums!

“Oh my gosh! You guysss are sssooo cute! I wanna touch you!” ‘I bet they are cuddly! I’m gonna grab one~!’ Trying to turn my thoughts into action I lunged forwards but quickly stopped when I looked at my arm or arms in this case, because there were way too fudging many! Where I had expected one arm there were now three of them on each side, complete with shoulder blades and everything, and damn were they built! They looked more akin to Boss’ than what I ever had. I mean I had been athletic before but now I looked able to crush soda cans with my biceps! ‘Not very cute! I guess I’m a monster now? Let’s check for more changes before I completely lose it.’

And, who would have guessed regarding changes there was a pretty fudging big one. Below the waist my skin had turned into dark grey scales with thicker bony white plates down the middle. Where my legs should have been I now only featured a thick mass of muscle and scales that extended behind me; turns out that the bed I had slept on was part of my body ‘Ah, damn it. Let’s call it what it is.’ I realized I now was the proud owner of a massive several meters long snake tail. ‘That would also explain the lisp if I now had a snake tongue. How was this even possible?’ I certainly didn’t recall going into this cave or turning into a snake monster.

The last memory I could recall before I had fallen asleep was of me waiting in front a security gate for my Boss to arrive. She would have almost certainly carried me home! She didn’t show her emotions often, okay actually she had never shown them since I had known her, other than anger of course, but I knew she loved me! Who wouldn’t, I was simply the most adorable person in existence. ‘Only now I wasn’t anymore! Someone had made me into a monster! The little pizda that had done it would pay for this!’

“ARGH! Kurwa maç!”

Apparently my cursing had spooked the little critters, because most of them were cowering behind the little burning pedestals they used for lighting; only one of them was still standing at the circle around me. He or I guess she, there were what seemed to be covered up breasts, was drawing in the dust around me and was chittering in a strange language. She continued to chitter and performed a weird dance. It was interesting to watch and I was a little sad when she stopped, it had been a good way to distract myself from the changes to my body.

“Oh magnificent Demoness, summoned from beyond the planes, do you heed the word of this lowly Kobold?” She dropped into a low bow, but I could see she was squinting upwards to try and see my reaction. They were cute and funny so I rewarded them with a smile, they would make good ssoldiersss, very loyal.

“If you are asssking, if I can understand you, than yess, I can.” I let out a small chuckle to reassure them. “Now tell me why am I here?”

“We beseech you, our warriors are sick and cannot defend us against the humans. We begged the mighty god for help, and your greatness was sent us, so we extend the plea to you! Will you help us survive!?” ‘Ah, the little one is almost close to tears! How could I not!?’

“Hahaha, sssure, I’ll protect you little oness, jusst do whatever I tell you, yeah?”

“Yes! We accept to your terms great demoness! Oh, and what are you named your greatness?” The whole group of kobolds jumped around and seemed happy all around; it was so wonderfully cute to see. ‘Awwww~!’

“Sssay, before you run off could you give me ssome clothing? I don’t really want to run or now ssslither around with my titss out! And my name is Crazyna by the way, but everyone just callsss me Crazy.”

“Yes Mistress Crazyna, we will bring you our best dress!”

‘Ha! Seems like I’m still cute enough, I even gained new followers! Why did I just think of them as my soldiers though? Oh, whatever, doesn’t matter. Let’s go back to sleep for now.’

“Yawn~!”
