(an old quest from years ago)

You're the wizard. The growth wizard.
You've been forced to leave the town where you were previously working because of an unfortunate incident, and many of your works were destroyed in this event. But you've arrived to Klugetown, a place remote and lawless enough you shall be able to work faster toward your ultimate goal.

Making mares bigger.

There's nothing else to you. The sights of mare getting bigger haunt your dreams and nightbigmares, and you're gonna give yourself the means to turn that into reality. 
You think you've finally discovered a path to the ultimate growing magic. While your last attempt only created an evil giant mare in appearance, it allowed you to make a breakthrough in the matters of mare bigness, and since then you've perfected a protocol which shall bring the world to a new era of wonderful giant pony mares.
You're gonna have to start small again, speaking relatively to your previous experiment, but this time your way to grandeur is set.

But first, you have to get accustomed to your new environment. While you previously only had to worry about kids breaking inside your home, you now have to think about cat-burglars and even associated wrong-doers. Which is not a problem for you, as you're actually quite proficient in warding runes and defence spells. You're also very capable of defending yourself, your battle magic being more than decent. Even outside of a warded building, it would take half a dozen thugs to make you start to worry, and even then you'd have several ways of finding an escape route. You two first weeks in Klugetown, you spend them setting up your workplace. In an estate of decent size, albeit more than a little worn out, which happened to be a hotel in the past. Or so told you the walking fish-guy you bought this place to.

Your base camp set, now comes the main part. Making mares bigger. For several reasons, you've decided to organise yourself in the following manner. Mares shall perform odd-jobs for you for you, which will probably mean performing paid intercourse, and accept to subject themselves to your potion, and in exchange you'll guarantee them some protection. You'll be acting like some sort of pimp, in short. This is a turn you wouldn't have imagined only a short time ago, but it sounds like a the most logical way to go right now to hold the aspects of your plan together.

First, you need mares who will stick around with you, because you need to track the effect of your potion to enhance it after each version. Offering mares shelter in the security of this estate sounds like the best way to have them available to you.

Second, you need money. The ingredients for your formula, according to your predictions, will get more expensive the more potent it gets. Besides, its creation will be a daunting task, and you'll need to spend six full day to create a single one of these. And while you could make some coins yourself with your magic skill, it would take forever to complete you goal should you need to gather all the funds yourself. Selling the potion wouldn't work either, as the perpetually experimental nature of the brew puts in random and potentially dangerous effects. Instead, you have good hope having some mare flaunting around the results of your experiments may be a financially viable investment. Mares are also somewhat attractive to everybody, no matter the race. Regular mares are already half of what makes a big mare, so you can understand that.

And finally, you need desperate mares. This thought lets a bitter aftertaste on your mouth, as you like your mares at their highest rather than at their lowest, but only mares in deep trouble would accept this insane-looking contract of yours. And while you could probably have them do something else than sexual work, it is sadly by far the only financially productive line of work you can expect from mares from the streets.
At least, while their size is not yet the one of giants…

You have 500 bits left after preparing your workspace.

You've been searching for candidates, offering a secure and reasonably comfortable home in your estate, in exchange of submission to your experimental growth formula and what money they can earn, which you will partially give back in the form of a salary.

Since you're a little short on bits, most of the rooms of your estate aren't in good shape at all. No mare will accept to live in these, so you need to spend 200 bits to renovate a room for each new employee. Also, creating the first version of your potion will costs you 50 bits. While you could technically hire two mares right away, Klugetwon is merciless on those who don't keep a few bits under their bed.

The mares at your service will be free to leave, though, and as such you must keep them satisfied with their condition. You'll also have to make sure your experiments, or the mares you hire, don't end up causing too much trouble, lest the local mafia or a vindictive crowd will come knocking at your door. In short, you'll have to watch your reputation.

In the end, you found four possible candidates. They accepted your conditions, even after you clearly stated they will have to do sexual work and subject themselves to your potions.

For comparison purposes, it shall be admitted that the average mare is 4' tall, and the average stallion is 4'6'' tall

Sandy Rose (4ft, 4in)
The oldest town bicycle people of Klugetown accept to pay for ridding. She always lived in poverty, and sold her natural good looks for a living for a very long time. But despite a somewhat regular income, she was never a financially responsible mare, and didn't manage to prepare for her old years. Now that her best days are behind her, she's getting scared of the future, and became willing to get under the command of ponies like you in exchange of a little security.

Despite her age, she has her regulars, and the reputation of maintaining a perfect hygiene and to be polite and skilful in her domain. She will probably bring home a little more money than the average hoe. 

However, Sandy Rose is a bit of a character in her streets, and a little of a gossip mare. Some of your secrets might be in danger if you're not careful. Also, she'll probably get you a bad reputation very fast should you not treat her right. But if end up on her good side, she might on the contrary help you should you have trouble with the locals.

Among your three prospects, she looks like the least enthusiast about your deal. You're afraid she might quit if you don't find a way to quickly gain her confidence.

Butterswirl (3ft, 10in)
You're a weird pony, that's for sure. One weird thing about weird ponies, is that they can recognize other weird ponies when they see them. This mare in front of you is DEFINETLY a weird pony.

Visibly enthusiast at your project, this mare came to you by herself. The sight of her multicoloured mane and eyes confirmed her words, as she immediately told you she loved the perspective of having her body changed by magic. In fact, she spent the last of her bits in these bat wings, she told you with pride in her voice.

You couldn't help but to be pleasantly surprised at discovering somepony with a genuine complementary interest from yours. You always took for a given seeing their body transform too fast would push most mares away, but this one sounds like it's NOT transforming enough which will make her unsatisfied.

And even more surprisingly, even her cutie mark seems to fate her to transformation. You think your potions might actually be even more effective on this particular mare, which will help you progress faster in your researches.

However, she's a freak just like you, but she doesn't look like she knows how to act in a more collected manner, and wears her craziness on her face and body. There's no doubt some ponies will be turned away by this attitude, and you can't imagine her being very efficient at any kind of work.

??? (4 ft, 1 in)
Just like activities such as yours do not need to be concealed as much in these lands, other practices of which the mere mention would frighten humble folks take place around here. Namely, slavery. Of course, not in the open market, but the words you picked up about this mare strongly suggest she had to serve since her birth. And while it appears she got recently liberated from her previous owner somehow, this place wasn't kind enough to provide her with any other fate than the streets. 

Your guess is that she may have been the only personal assistant of her previous boss. Indeed, she claims to have a variety of skill regarding housekeeping, cooking, seeming, paperwork and even some self-defence skills. This mare could help you in ways you may not have considered. And of course, she said she's proficient in the field of paid intercourse. 

However, you're not exactly sure how her previous condition will affect her. You don't know what she's gone through exactly. She makes her best to give the straightest answers to any question, and remains still and silent when you don't ask something from her. You have trouble reading her. And even though that might mean she'll be readier to accept your commands, you have no way to confirm this hunch.

When you asked her name, she said under her breath that she hadn't decided yet…

Maafah (3 ft, 7 in)
Another mare which has been drawn to you was a zebra from the tribes from the far ends of the world. Her kin are rarely seen so far from their land, and yet this one came to knock on your door.

Her first words as she met you, were that your purpose was holy, and that your meeting with her was fated to happen. She stated that the unflattering deeds you demanded were trials the Widow expected her to overcome in exchange of her favour, and that she was ready to take them on.

As you inquired about that "Widow", she said it was one of the guardian spirits of her tribe, one which rewarded the bold, and those who willingly delved into the unknown and magic with power and size. Yes, size. She went as far as to say that your existence was probably inspired by this spirit. Which, disturbingly, definitely sounds like a possibility as you look back at your own conviction.

While you've never heard of such a cult in particular, even though the tales of some big zebra mares came to your ears in the past. While you'd be a fool to dismiss Maafah's belief as baseless folklore, you have no mean to know how in particular these occult forces will manifest.

And even should you disregard these stories, Maafah seems to clearly believe in them. That means she'll probably end up making some other ponies uncomfortable, as exotic magic rarely make people feel at ease.

Now, about the protocol which will make some of these mares the biggest of this side of the Badlands…

The first potion will make the mare which drink it grow between 7 and 18 more inches. This might sound laughable compared to what you've done prior, but that not all about it. The point is that you'll be able to make a more powerful potion each time. According to your projections, each time you complete a potion, the resulting observation you make on the drinker will allow you to make the next potion grow its drinker by 6 more inches. It is to note that the effect of each potion will not stack, but override the previous one. And that's a good thing. Trust me.

Indeed, raw growth isn't actually the main purpose of these potions. The magic ingredients you use will produce chaotic effects. In addition to the basic gained height, two other transforming effects, often size related, will happen to the mare. These are the core of what you're studying. First because you'll have to carry over to the next version of the potion any of these random effects you've discovered, and second because once you'll have identified them all, the ultimate growth magic will be within your reach…

There's a chance more powerful effects will happen with each potion. These exceptional events have an even probability to bestow a great boon, or a great curse… (which is why each potion overriding the other is a good thing) While you cannot replicate these effects, you also need to witness them all to obtain the ultimate growth magic. In memory of the Oubliette and Ogres campaigns you've played in wizard university, you've called these effects 'crits' and 'fumbles'.

While you do not know the nature of all these random effects, you know how probable to happen each of them is, and you'll be able to detect which effect corresponds with each probability. You'll need to add the basic six inches to roll additional random effects on a potion. The potion will cost 50 bits to make in ingredients, then 50 bits more with each six inches added. Should you wish to inhibit some of the random effect you'll discover (just in case there actually happens to be too much of a good thing to your liking…) you'll be able to do it for 50 bits per potion and effect.

Finally, because you had to make sure you'd survive your own experiments, you're permanently and irrevocably immune to any power your potions might grant to mares. (beyond the power of being big of course). And if it wasn't obvious yet, your potions only work on mares.

And now, what should you do with these 500 bits of yours?

[spoiler]Polls open until I return on Sunday.[/spoiler]

You're going to take some risks, and spend most of your bits on renovating two rooms for two mares.

After making the necessary arrangements, two rooms of your estate are made into decent chambers. Nothing luxurious, but a bed with a real mattress, some standard furniture, and enough isolation to keep the heat of the desert at bay. For now, there's only one shower you have to take turns using in this estate, and the commons only include a large functional kitchen. Several empty rooms could be used for different purposes later.
Finally, there's your lab where you work and sleep.

You decide to seal a deal with the zebra Maafah, and the still nameless earth pony. While the late only gave you a polite bow when the contract was signed, you heard something more unusual from the zebra, as she was exiting the room.
"I will not disappoint you." She muttered. A statement which you don't think was directed at you… 

Regardless, the two mares get to work the next day while your start the creation of your first potion. Everypony works hark, your mares during the night, and you during the day. You speak with them a little in the morning to see if they're alright, but nothing meaningful comes out of these conversations.
Six days later, you collect the bits from your two employees. You all agreed you shall rest the last day of each week, and that's when you may be doing some accounting, projects, and perhaps trying to know your mares a little better.

This week, Maafah collected 39 bits, while the nameless pony managed to make 72 bits out of her work. You see Maafah wince as she sees the difference.

Now, about the salary you give your mares…
25 bits is roughly what a pony needs to life in Klugetown weekly. These are your own expanses, and since you're consumed by your work, you only buy the strict necessary. You could give back less to your ponies, but that would probably not make them happy…

And beyond that question, you have your first potion ready.

>What do you give to which mare?

Base : 
2 d 100 -> 12, 28
1d12 - > 1
Total : + 14,5 inches


This week : 500 bits – 400 (room *2) – 50 (potion) -25 (own expanses) + 72 (income from ???) + 39 (income from Maafah) = 136 bits. (For now, each mare takes care of her expanses with her own bits)
 
You decide to giveback 30 bits to each mare. Maafah seems satisfied with the outcome, and the other mare doesn't look like she minds having her pay levelled with somepony who made less money. You're gonna have to help her find a name someday, by the way… The problem right now, is that you won't be able to make another potion with how little funds you have left.

"This is only the beginning." You declare, hoping to get their spirits up. "I'm confident we'll eventually all be able to reach our own objectives. We're a team right now. If you've got anything in mind, speak it out right away. That's the way to make sure everything's will be going fine."
The two mares nod in response, more interested in what they know comes next.

You decide to give the potion to the zebra. A decision she welcomes with a victorious grin. She eagerly takes the potion out of your hooves. Using a ritual circle, you'll be able to track the effects of your potion on the mare.
As soon as you tell her, Maafah chugs down the potion.

The effects are almost immediate. The mare starts to slowly inch up in the air, a wide grin on her faces. "Yes! Finally!" She exults, as her eyes stand tall enough to meet yours even… and then you have to look up to them.

But it's at this moment, something strange happens. For a split second, the world seems to slow down, and you hear a strange giggling behind you, and feel the breath of an impossible huge creature on your back.
You turn around frenetically, but there's only the rest of your lab here. Of course… Not even a regular pony could stand comfortably here. Yet… the laughter still echoes in your head.

You're brought back to reality as a powerful hoof comes around your neck to take hold of you. Now almost a head taller than you, Maafah presses you against her warm chest. There, she plants a long kiss on your snout.

"You made the right choice, wizard." She says with a silky voice after finishing the kiss. "I really hope you meant it, when you said this was only the beginning. I'm satisfied for now, but I can't wait until you bring me to new heights. Don't worry. I'll make sure you're rewarded for your efforts…"
 
One these words, the zebra decides to exit your estate before you can say anything. She probably wants to have a walk in the streets and appreciate her new build.

Thanks to your growth wizard powers, you can tell she's exactly 5 feet and 6 inches, which is about as tall as princess Luna, but the stout build of the zebra makes her much more massive already.
Looking at the result of you analyses, it seems the additional effects increased the growth range and affected the zebra's mind in some way you haven’t identified yet. She also hit near the top of the growth range this time, which means giving her the next potion will probably not grow her much, and even has a small chance to shrink her.

According to your calculations, the next potion you'll be able to make will make the drinker gain between 14 and 36 inches and effect his mind. There will also be two new additional effects. It will cost 100 bits to make.

The other mare is still here. She awestruck at the events which unfolded under her eyes

>What do?

Maafah left such an impression on you that for a second, you think about kicking the other mare out to devote you entirely to the zebra. How dare that measly slave want to stand at the sides of a true goddess! You're fired!
But then you shake your head, remembering she's making you a good profit, and that having her around can only help you advance faster, even if you focus your studies on Mafaah. You think about trying to determine what kind of effect the potion might have had on the zebra's mind, but it's going to be neigh impossible since you basically just met her. You could try searching for information about her and that Widow spirit, though.

The good news is that the zebra will probably be contented as long as she can grow, but trying to bond with the other mare is probably a good idea to make her feel more at ease.

"Are you alright?" You approach the mare. "Do you want to talk about anything?"
"Ehm… I'm alright." She shakes her head. "It's just that I didn't expect your potion to be… so potent."
"I'm quite satisfied with the results." You can't her but to display a proud smile. "But what about you? Do you want to have a go with it next time? You don't have to, you know? Maafah will gladly take all your turns I think..."
"I'm still not sure. I was a little scared before, but Maafah looked… very happy with the results. So I guess I… wouldn't mind be that tall." She eventually admits.

"Alright. I'll keep that in mind." You nod. "Say, do you mind if I spend the rest of the day with you?"
"I do not mind." She says with a neutral tone. "I didn't plan on going out today. I was thing about cleaning up the place."

Indeed, some part of the commons and rooms are still a little dusty, and you didn't have time to properly take care of everything this week. You decide to help her, and with eight hooves on the case, your estate is sparkling clean in only an hour.
"That's better." You say as you contemplate your pristine lab. "And now you're done with the chores, what do you want to do?"
The mare looks a little hesitant.
"I… I don't know." She says "Is there something in particular you'd like me to do on my free time?"

A strange question, you think to yourself, but then you remember how she probably used to spend her days. 'Free time' may not have been a part of the agenda.

>What do?

"How about going for a walk." You offer. "We'll find something to eat. My treat."
The mare accepts, and as you walk in the streets of Klugetown, you try to get a chance to know her better. And maybe find out what you should call her…

For 4 bits, you both get your hooves on some fried hay with a layer of melted cheese and deliciously spicy sauce. Not healthy, but the most satisfying meal you can get for so few bits.
"So you told me you hadn't decided on a name, right?" You ask once you're both sitting down. "But how did people call you until now, then?"
"Uhm… ponies just called me 'assistant' when they needed me." She answers, with a little bit of reluctance. "But I wish you didn't call me that…"
"Sure. But what then? Can you give me a name?"
"I'm still thinking about it." She says. "I wanted to have my name feel special… but I don't feel like going by anything else in the meantime. Sorry, that's a bother, isn't it?"

"It's alright." You shake your head. "Let's talk about something else. Do you have any hobby? Something you like to do in particular?"
"Well, one of the things had to do in the past was to make clothes. And I always loved doing that. Even I didn't wear what I made, I liked to hear other ponies saying they liked it. I was often praised for my works…" She tells you with a nostalgic smile.

While that's nice to hear, you doubt you gave the mare enough bits to practice this hobby. Stupid money… Why don't you have more of that thing?
She then tells you she knows Klugetown fairly well, as she often had to go shopping as a part of her duties. You attempt to find Maafah after that, as you wanted to make it known you were the one to make her the big mare she is today, but it appears she has come home already, and locked herself in her room.

The people you asked on the way did sound impressed after seeing her.

That's gonna be it for this week. Since you only have 72 bits left, you won't be able to create a potion this week. Instead, you'll be performing some odd jobs. Working as a freelance wizard is hard since you just arrived recently and most people will be reluctant to trust your skill and share information. Thanks to Maafah showing off though, some people might actually give it a go.
Since you'll be doing odd jobs, you'll actually have time to search for information or do some other activities in addition. Just decide what you want to do. You'll get the result next week. However, you still won't be able to interact much with your mares beyond a few small attentions.

Feel free to share any plan or idea which you find interesting.

See you next week.

It is agony not to work on making mares bigger this week, but you keep telling yourself this is just temporary, and a sound investment on the long term. Even if you count in mare inches, which is the to only metric that matters.

Despite your talent as a wizard, you're only hired to do low level jobs as the locals are still not very keen on putting a stranger next to sensible business stuff or more complex spells. At least, Maafah made sure to show the results of your works around Klugetown. She's so ready to flaunt her new looks you're starting to think this might not only be the result of her growing, but the mind alteration she undergone. The contrast is very clear with last week, when she seemed to do her work with only a cold determination. Now, she oozes self-confidence and looks delighted with every bit of attention she's getting.

While most people recognize you are the reason for this transformation, that doesn't mean they're all holding you in high regard for it. Some people with bad taste simply do not understand what's the point of a bigger mare, or frown and ask you if you're not gonna end up making her 'too big'. These uncultured swine… But it appears this suspicion may also be due to some other fetish wizard which caused problems some time ago. He made a lot of people uncomfortable and ended up poisoning the well to force his deviancy on everypony. He was run out of town after that of course.
You kept your ears open for new possible employee, but nopony new seems ready yet. Sandy Rose and Butterswirl are still available, though.

This week, you also have some spare time to do some research about that Widow Maafah prays to.
You got your hooves on an encyclopaedia which contains a chapter from the journal of an explorer pony who visited the zebra lands. You learn that some tribes there regard physical size as a manifestation of spiritual enlightenment and getting closer from the fundamentals forces of this world.

They worshiped three spirits, which represented aspects of these forces, and are supposed to be goddesses who hold the world between her hooves. According to their myths, these were once regular ponies who ascended though different ways.

The Empress, the first of these goddesses, is described as a strong and proud mare. Size is her might, and a reward for heroic deeds. In her legend, she fought and defeated more and more powerful enemies, growing is size and strength with each victory, until the whole world was the rightful prize she could hold between her hooves.
The attributes of the Empress are the colours gold and yellow, the sun, fire, the wolf, courage and determination.

The Mother, the second of these goddesses, is described as a beautiful and gentle mare. Size is her responsibility, and something which must be used to protect the smaller beings. In her legend, she first shielded a lost foal from the rain, and then grew to protect more and more ponies, until the whole world was safe from harm between her hooves.
The attribute of the Mother are the colour blue, water, households, the dove, kindness and pacifism.

The Widow, the last of these goddesses, is described as a chaotic and selfish mare. Size is her right, and what allows her to be truly free as nopony can oppose her will. In her legend, she uses magic to steal the size of other ponies, siphoning more and more size to add to her own, until the world became a mere toy between her hooves.
The attribute of the Widow are the colour red, the number 8, the blood moon, the spider, magic and cunningness.

While these three forces are obviously in competition, the different cults surprisingly cohabit pacifically, merely trying to convince the others of adopting their faith. Changing cult is not frowned up for the zebra who does it at all in fact, and it's a rather common thing to happen. Zebras have a strong belief that fate is a twisting and indomitable force, and that real wisdom means being able to go with this turbulent flow instead of remaining anchored to unmovable ideas and beliefs.

That's the gist of what you learned from that book.

At the end of the week, your nameless mare made 82 bits while Maafah earned 158 bits, with 92 bits coming from a single of her clients which became enthralled with her body, and the zebra used that opportunity to squeeze every last bit out of him. Meanwhile, you sold your skills for a total of 64 bits.
Today, you might rest, and even if you don't have a potion to give them, the mares expect their payment and gather around you.

What do you give each mare? What do you want to do today?

This week : 72 bits - 25 (own expanses) + 82 (income from ???) + 158 (income from Maafah) + 64 bits (income from you) = 351 bits.

Sadly, it takes you 6 days to create a single potion, and you'll only be able to grow a pony next week. It'll cost you 100 bits to create the next one.

For now, you give 35 bits to each of your employees. Maafah seems satisfied with the progression, and your nameless employee doesn't complain either.

After that, you also decide to invite them out to eat together. For a total of 10 bits, you all get a generous serving of vegetable tajine dish. A tent of while cloth over your head, you have a place to sit down protected from the sun, and where you can all discuss a little.

"Maafah, can I ask you something?" You start at some point.
"Of course."
"How do you feel about the Widow? And why are you following her rather than the Empress or the Mother?" You ask.
"Mmh?" The zebra tilts her head to the side, an amused smile on her face. "You did some research I see. Why the Widow, you ask? Well…"

At this point, Maafah leans closer to you, her big eyes staring into yours. And there, she playfully presses your snout with her hoof.
"Because of you, little wizard." She answers "You, are a gift from the Widow to this word. You use your magic to make ponies bigger, and I decided to step forward and accept this blessing. And now, I shall live by the Widow's teaching and honour her will."

"And you know… perhaps you should try to honour her too." Maafah says with a smirk. "She can only be delighted by your actions. If you prayed to her, maybe she'd even grant you a boon to help you! I'm just gonna warn you, though. If you do that, make sure you do not disappoint her later…"

>What do?

351 – 2*35 (slaries) – 10 (lunch) = 271 bits left

"But what is the Widow's will?" You ask. "What do you plan to do to honour her?"
"Well..." Maafah sits on the ground. "I'm still way too small to act on a larger scale, so for now I'll simply make sure to enjoy what I already have. The Widow is about caring for yourself after all. And it's been rather entertaining to play with my… clients recently. But once I'm a little bigger, I think I will set some more interesting things in motion…"

"And do you think there's something we could do together to honour the Widow?"
The zebra shows you a wicked grin.
"There's always the boring prayers…" There, Maafah starts to whisper. "but maybe we could try something else. How about we come home, and I let you worship me, like the avatar of the Widow you intend to make me?"

>What do?

"Sorry. I'm gonna pass." You say, trying not to show your worry. You fear following Maafah down the path of the Widow might be very detrimental to you in the end. Even if this could profit the zebra mare in all the right ways…
"Also, what kind of things do you intend to set in motion?" You add. "Can you tell me more about it?"

The zebra looks disappointed for a second, but eventually shrugs it off with a smile.
"Your loss." She says with a calm voice. "And if you want to know what I meant by setting things in motion, let's say that if you won't worship me… I'll find somepony else. And then many." Maafah grins deviously. "I'll tell you when I find somepony receptive." 
On these words, the zebra leaves the table, letting you alone with your other worker which has been listening quietly the whole time.

>What do?

Maafah is growing power-hungry. Having her being the biggest mare around sounds really dangerous… But who could you turn to? Will your demure mare remain loyal when you make her bigger, or will it be even worse? Will somepony like Butterswirl side with you no matter what, or become a problem like Maafah?

For now, you decide to try and bond some more with your other employee.
However, the mare is obstinately distant and doesn't open up more to you. It seems like just 'talking with her' will not bring you further, as she only politely states she's comfortable with her position and doesn't have any complain or particular desire.

Still, she says something interesting, as you bring up the topic of Maafah.

"I don't think we'll become brawlers of warriors, so the Empress probably won't come on the table…" The mare says, once you've told her about the information you found. "But about the Mother… maybe you could… I'm not sure, adopt a kitten? Something Maafah may want to be nice to, rather than dominate? Or just have her interact with nice ponies I guess… Maybe she'll lean toward the Mother instead that way. B-but I'm just making assumptions, here."
You thank her for her insight, and you both return home after that.

At that point, you even suspect Maafah might try to come and steal your potion. Beyond vigilance, you could set up some spells to protect your lab against intrusion. You'll need to buy some component for a spell that lasts, tough. A simple alarm will only cost 10 bits, while something more direct, like a paralysing trap will need 100 bits to work as intended. Setting up such protection will not delay your potion-making on the weekly scale.
Now, you've got some potion-brewing to do!

See you next week. As always, feel free to input commands/direction/feedback of any sort.

A busy week, this is.

In addition to working on your potion, there’s many other things you’ve decided to do. You end up exhausted at the end of each day, but at least you’re making a little progress everywhere.

First, for the price of 25 bits, you decide to secure your lab a little more. Now, only your magic can unlock the door or windows. The wooden walls aren’t exactly rock-solid, but you’ll hear anyone coming from far away if they force their way in, since you’ll also be sleeping in your lab.
Maafah is big, but you don’t think she could easily overpower you yet. You know how to teleport and you’re a decent battle mage, so she’ll need a little more than bigness to completely beat you. And right now, she’s still rather docile…

In the hope of bringing Maafah to consider following the Mother instead, you prospect for jobs that could have her use her size to defend or help others. Sadly, such positions are almost non-existent in Klugetown. There’s no kind of bodyguard that doesn’t also have at least to intimidate others, when they’re not simply asked to act as thugs and hired muscle. There’s some town guards under the mayor’s control in Klugetown, but they mostly act as a paid militia to defend his interest.

And it’s roughly the same with every line of work actually. Every favor, everything nice in Klugetown is always negotiated in cold hard bits, with cons and lies being as common as sand.

The only genuinely good-natured structure in this town seem to be some organization called Oasis. Their members collect donations and try to help the poorest ponies of Klugetown, bringing them food, water and remedies. They also take care of the only orphanage, public hospital, and animal shelter of Klugetown.
You think Maafah could help them greatly. Even them are often the target of thieves, thugs, and even the poor souls they try to help sometimes turn on them out of despair. Between that and the huge loads of stuff they sometimes carry around, a large mare would probably be warmly welcomed in their ranks. 

While Oasis receives some funds from the mayor to keep the streets clean of the most unsightly ponies, their employees are still volunteers, and do not earn any salary for their action. You could have Maafah work only one or several days a week with them, though. The money she brings home will only be reduced partially if you do that.

On another note, you bring up the idea of your employees spending some time together. Maafah doesn’t seem bothered by the idea, but the other mare looks nervous about it. Since you shared your worries about Maafah’s true nature with her, it seems she’s become wary of her colleague.
You should probably organize something specific for them to do together if you want this to be beneficial. Right now, you fear Maafah is much more likely to influence her fellow worker than the other way around.

One day, Maafah tells you she heard again from her generous donator from last week. This time, though… She witnessed a quite embarrassing scene.
It appears the pony was married, and his furious wife, wooden spoon in hoof, forced him to declare he shall never visit the zebra again in the middle of the street. While her business didsn’t really suffer from that, she has little hope of getting spoiled by that stallion again.

You get in contact with Butterswirl once more. While she’s exited to hear from you again at first, her smile soon vanishes as she realizes you’re not here to give her a job or a potion. She looks more disappointed that angry. She’s obviously still interested in your works, but she seems a little reluctant to just have a friendly talk with you and sounds nervous the whole time. Maybe she fears you may be trying to take advantage of her and her eagerness.
“Sorry…” She eventually says as she starts to leave. “I really like what you do mister wizard, but I’ve got some problems right now, so I’ve got to stay focused. Do come back if you’ve got a spot for me, o-okay…?”

After that, you manage to find Sandy Rose, who you intend to ask for information. She doesn’t welcome you coming back to her very nicely, though.
“You’ve got some nerves asking for a service after you refused to hire me!” She loudly declares, getting you some mean looks from the other patrons of the pub where you’re meeting. “So you better offer me some bits if you want me to tell you anything!”

A little nervously, you hand the mare 10 bits. She accepts them, but remains mostly cold as she tells you what she knows about your employees.
The mare does seem on page about the latest rumors and ponies coming and going in the streets.

First, you learn a little more about your former slave. Sandy Rose tells you her master was some old stallion, a retired gangster of some sort. She was rarely seen outside of his property until the old guy died, assassinated by some equally old rival who then burned his place down. The mare was on the streets after that, with a decent amount of coins she salvaged from her master’s place. Still, she was at a loss about what to do, and had nopony and nowhere to return. That was two months ago, and sadly she was an easy prey for scammers and thieves of all sort. Sandy tells you she’s a little glad you took her in, as she wasn’t sure she could survive on her own in the streets.

Then, she tells you about Butterswirl. The mare arrived at Klugetown about a year ago, Sandy tells you. She lived in Equestria before, but left to follow her dreams of transforming her body in all possible ways. She rents a little shack, and works as a willing test subject for different wizards and potion-makers.
“I honestly didn’t think somepony could do that in Klugetown for so long and survive, but it seems she’s just resistant to harmful magic, yet very reactive to everything else.” Sandy Rose marks a pause to take a long gulp from her glass. “But now that’s also becoming a problem for her, as the ponies she works for are realizing her results are biased by that trait of her. I think she lost one of her contracts recently...”

Finally, she tells you about Maafah. It seems the zebra only arrived in Klugetown a couple weeks before you did. She never had a place in the town, though.
“She must have had some camp in the desert I guess.” The mare tells you. “She also probably managed to find her own food somehow, because that’s not with the few bits she earned fortunetelling she could have maintained that butt of hers! Haha!” Sandy Rose lets out a hearty laugh. You think half the bits you gave her have been spent in booze at this point...

You decide to leave her alone after that.

Around the middle of the week, you decide to make a little surprise to your two employees. To the former slave, you bring a couple of dolls, some cloth and a sewing kit. She gives you a polite thank and a warm smile in return. You hope she genuinely likes it.

And for Maafah…

“A cat?” She frowns at the little creature you brought from the shelter. “What am I supposed to do with this useless…”
“…Little Fuzzy…”
“F-fine… I guess I’ll take care of him.” The zebra eventually mutters. “As long as you take care of the food and stuff…”

Eventually, it’s that day of the week again, and this time you’ve got a potion ready. Both your employees come to you for their pay. This time Maafah brought home 71 bits, while your other worker get 85 bits. One night, she was also hired to be a stewardess at a private meeting. The client was impressed with her perfect mannerism and skill, and she was paid 50 additional bits in one night.
Maafah sports a confident smile, while the other pony simply stands at attention.

This week : 271 bits - 27 (own expanses + kitten expanses) - 10 (information from Sandy Rose) - 25 (magic lock) - 100 (potion) - 15 (sewing kit) + 135 (income from ???) + 71 (income from Maafah) = 315 bits.

>What do you give each mare.

First, you give them 35 bits each for their salaries, which leaves you with 245 bits. Maafah pouts for an instant, as it seems she expected her earnings to increase a little each week. The other pony accepts her pay without any reaction.

You then declare you'll give the potion to the former slave, which seems to surprise Maafah. And not the good kind of surprise...
"Wait, what?" She exclaims. "But… that mare doesn't even wish to grow! Why waste it on her?"
"First because it's part of the contract I get to give the potion to whoever I want." You state. "And second because I asked her, and she's fine with it."

"Really?" The zebra comes closer to the other mare, looming threateningly over her. She takes a fearful step back in reaction.
"Is it true? Does a pony as shy as you wish to be bigger?"
The mare stands petrified for a second, but then answers with a shaky nod.
"Say it. I dare you…" Maafah growls.
"That's enough!" You intervene, placing yourself between the two mares. "I decided this potion is for her. Period. Besides, the effect of my potions do not stack, so taking all of them won't make you bigger in the end."

Maafah stares at you angrily for a few seconds, before turning away. She climbs upstairs to her room.
Your other worker lets out a relived sight as you stop hearing her hoofsteps.
"Let's even it out." You put a smile on your face. "She won't act so mean when you're bigger than her, don't you think?"
The mare nods with a half-smile. And a few seconds later, she drinks the potion.

She gasps as soon as the effects start to be visible. Just like Maafah two weeks ago, her body lengthens and widens, a bit faster too. She puts a hoof over her mouth as she passes your own size, showing no sign of her growth slowing down at this point. And she goes on… and on… until she reaches an impressive height of 6 feet and 6 inches, only a tiny bit smaller than princess Celestia herself.

But then a final spurt comes up, and a moan escapes the mare's mouth as she shoots up to 7 feet and 3 inches almost instantly. You watch in amazement while the mare breathes heavily, a deep blush on her face, but she then she seems to calm down rather fast, and you see her return to her previous height of 6' 6'', still a whole foot taller than Maafah. With her proportions, the top of your head would come right under her chin.

Looking at your results, it appears one additional effect have increased the basic growth potential of your potion. The other effect is probably responsible for that last spurt you saw. You think your mare will get this additional size when she's stimulated in some way…
According to your calculations, your next potion will cost 150 bits to make, and the mare who drinks it will get between 26 and 48 inches taller than her original size, plus the additional effects which may show up.

"Woah…" The mare says with a timid smile on her face. She looks around at the smaller room, looking a little confused but excited. "This was… quite the experience. It's a little weird… having to look down at you."

>What do?

You got one large mare to counter Maafah. That's a good start, but another ally would make you more at ease.
It may be time to hire somepony else. That means you won't have the bits to make another potion this week, but that way your funds will grow faster…
That means you'll have to renovate another room, though. You already sleep in your lab, where there's only a one-pony hammock. So you have no room of yours to give away.

Between Sandy Rose and Butterswirl, you're not sure which way to go is the best. Sandy will obviously bring home more money, and she looks like a rather level-headed pony compared to the others. Perhaps she could help you deal with the conflicts between your workers. Her street smarts could also be very beneficial to you.
On the other hoof, Butterswirl, on top of making your researches go faster, she will probably stick with you no matter what as soon as she gets a potion.

>What do?

The choice isn't simple. You're gonna give it some more thought and decide which mare you hire when you're ready.

Maafah is still in her room, while the other pony looks in awe at the smaller furniture of the common room.
The day is still far from over. You could do something with her. She does look a little more expressive than before. You could also try to talk thing out with Maafah.

>What do?

You approach the amazon-sized mare. She's cautiously testing if the worn-out couch in the common room can still hold her. You sit next to her in silence, and she shows you a smile as she notices you.

"Since I drank your potion, I feel…better." She says. "Is it only because I'm bigger or is there something else you put in your potion?"
"Eh…" You're a little embarrassed. "It's… another effect. But it's not dangerous I promise!"

The mare tilts her head to the side, before showing you a wide grin. She's much more expressive than even an hour ago.
"I trust you!" She says "I can see you're worried about be me. And about Maafah too. Whenever you could, you've been asking me if there was something wrong. You really want to make this work, don't you? I mean, beyond the growth thing!" She giggles. "You're weird, wizard, but you're nice too! I was scared when I got with you honestly. But you're alright. And your potions aren't bad either."
"Oh, and… thanks for defending from Maafah earlier." She blushes slightly. "Don't worry. I feel like I could stand up to her right now. As long as you don't make her a tad bigger…"

"Not happening in a while." You shake your head. "I'm thinking about hiring one more pony actually. To even things out if she goes rogue."
"It sounds like a good idea." She nods. "I'm glad you're not going to give in to all of Maafah's wishes after all."

"After all?" You frown. "When did it look like I would."
"Well… when you first gave her a potion, it was obvious you were awestruck." The mare says. "And when she kissed you… you looked like you'd have done anything she'd have asked you. You even wanted to meddle with that Widow spirit at first."
"Yeah… It's only at this point I realized how dangerous that could be…" You wince.
"But what if there wasn't any spirit involved?" The mare asks, looking curious. "Would you have gone with Maafah when she asked you to worship her? Do you like mares with that attitude? I mean, I imagine somepony who devoted his lives to make mares bigger would like that kind of things."

>What do?

"Why do you ask?" A sly grin blooms on your face. "Do you want to be worshipped?"
"M-me?" She blurts in surprise, and her face turns bright red. 
"Of course, you!" You nod exaggeratedly. "But you better know, that I only worship big mares who deserve to be worshiped. Do you got what it takes to be a worshipable big mare or not?"
"I don't…" Her eyes dart around in confusion "I never even thought about being… ehm…"

You burst in laughter. This was too easy.
"Relax, I was just joking." You tell her.
"Ah… I see. Hehe…" She giggles uncomfortably. "Yeah… I should have guessed so. How would worshipping a pony without a name even work…"

"But if you want an honest answer about what I like, I really do like bigger mares yes." You nod to yourself. "The bigger the better really!"
"And you're working hard to make that come true, don't you?" The mare says, having recomposed herself. "You're weird, but you're still following your dreams no matter what… You're a weird kind of courageous, wizard…"
"I'll take that as a compliment." You answer.

At this point, the mare stands up.
"I didn't really get any time to look at the sewing kit you gave me." She says. "I'm gonna try to make something nice today! Do you need me for anything else?"

>What do?

"You know, maybe I should go with you." You say, half-serious. "I'm sure I could figure out a way to worship a nameless giant beauty like you."
"Alright." She blushes. "You had your fun… Now I'm going to-"
"I'm sure you sitting on my face would be a good start! What do you say?" You cut her.

The mare only gives you a nervous giggle in response, before hastily climbing upstairs.
Alright… maybe you went a little overboard with the jokes.
Or perhaps she just needs some more confidence and she'll say yes eventually…

Now, is there anything else you want to do today?

>What do?

Yeeeeaaaaah. You went a tad overboard actually. You should probably leave that mare alone for now. You'll talk to her again later. Sadly, being a fetish wizard around the object of your desire… you were bound to go spill some spaghetti at some point.
Now, you show probably talk with your other employee. The one which would probably gladly sit on you, but then doom the world and not only your face to eternal darkness or something.

But before you start to move, you hear somepony coming down. Maafah enters the common room, and her eyes soon fall on you.
"You're here. Good." She says and walks to sit in front of you. "We need to talk."
She looks focused and doesn't have her self-satisfied attitude right now.

"Is there a problem?" You ask her.
"That's what I meant to ask you. Do you have a problem with me?" She retorts calmly, staring at you as she awaits your reaction.

>What do?

"Why would you think that?" You frown. "I just gave you a kitten."
"Well, yeah…" The zebra shows a sweet smile for a second, but then she's serious again "Paka's nice… but I'll be honest. That's not the kind of attention I expected from you."
You don’t answer and wait for her to precise her idea instead.

"What kind of growth wizard are you?" She asks you with a hint confusion in her voice. "With how you looked when you first gave me a potion, I thought this would be… Something between the two us! I know what you desire, wizard, and I can give it to you. Trust me, I'm already the biggest mare of all up here." She points at her head and gives you a devious smile. "Why won't you give me the body to match?"
"I already told you." You answer. "I don't need to give you a potion every week to make you bigger. And even if I respect your beliefs, I don't plan on giving myself to the Widow."

"And why not? The Widow isn't about doing bad things, just about doing things for yourself! It's about doing what you really want, to get rid of your inhibitions! If you help me get the size I need, you better believe you'll have a very special place in my doings." She winks.

"Listen, I love making ALL mares grow." You shake your head "And any growth should be celebrated! The way you acted earlier toward your colleague wasn't nice at all by the way. Do not do that again, please."
The zebra smacks her lips annoyedly.
"I understand you need other mares to get more money." She says. "But honestly, to think you want other ponies than I to ascend, I find it… quite insulting."

On these words, she shifts closer to you, until her big snout almost touches yours.
"I'm gonna give you the same offer as last week, wizard." She whispers with a silky voice. "Why don't you follow me upstairs, so I show you why you don't need any other mare than me?"

>What do?

"No." You answer. "If you want to be the best big mare, you're gonna have to prove it when every mare is big. Because that's what I plan to do. To spread the joy of big mares far and wide, not only to you or our companion, but to all the mares of the world. I will never back down from this."

The zebra stares at you for a moment, her huge eyes trying to find a dent in your determination, but there's simply no such thing. 
She lets out a disappointing sigh and walks away, heading outside.
"You know, for somepony who dedicated his life to bigger mares, you're surprisingly resistant to their charms." She tells you with half-smile. "I get it. I'll try not to upset the other workers. But riddle me this, wizard. Wouldn't you be happier if you let me work my magic on you?"

She gives you a wink, and then she exits the place.

See you next week. As always, feel free to input commands/direction/feedback of any sort.

“Mmmmh… Alright.” Sandy Rose nods to herself after inspecting the room you’ve just renovated. “The bed is stupidly big, but I guess that’s on purpose. Looks like we got ourselves a deal, Wizard.”
It was hard deciding on which mare to hire, and you probably made half of yourself angry actually. You were so indecisive you had to end it on the equivalent of a coin flip. Still, Sandy is far from being a horrible addition to your little family, and you guess you can still hire Butterswirl later. Or maybe even help her in the before that, if your own resources are enough…
“I’m glad to have you around.” You shake her hoof. “By the way, since you’ve got experience, do you think you could help the other two get better at their job?”

She chuckles in reaction.
“Huh. I didn’t think my kind of experience would warrant me being a teacher, but I can try. Why don’t you tell me how do they work for a start? Like, what do you give to do their jobs?”
“Well…” You scratch you head as you ponder. “I guess… I let them take care of everything. They don’t bring clients here though. This place is for us only. From what I recall, the girls either end up at their client’s place, or find a quiet spot in a back alley or something…”
Indeed, you don’t want strangers coming inside here, and you think your workers appreciate a place which is truly their own.

Still, the mare in front of you lets out a sigh, and gives you a disapproving glare.
“Alright, I think you should invest a little more to help us girls.” She states. “We’re doing a hard job, you know? Beyond the pay, you should spare some bits so we can buy, you know, just a tasteful touch of make-up, perfume, mane-conditioner, some skin care cream… I guarantee that’s a sound investment. I can take care of fetching them if you want. I‘m a regular with some merchants which could provide. Something like 5 bits per mare and per week should be enough.”

“Also, having our own, personal place for work would be a huge help.” She continues “I can use my old place, but think about renting something for the other girls. You should find something usable for 10 bits a week. Buying something and the furniture would probably fetch in the 400… or 500 bits, so that is probably not a good idea. Especially…” She gives a glace to the 6 feet and a half pony who exits her room at that moment. “…if you intend to keep growing us this fast. You better have some bits read for when we outgrow our rooms here by the way!”

“Emm… Sure!” You answer with a forced smile. “I’ll try to remember that. Thank you for your advice.”
“I’m glad you understand.” Sandy Rose seems satisfied with your reaction at the moment. “Now, why don’t you introduce me to the girls? Moving in will be a piece of cake thank to them!”

One other morning, you suddenly hear a burst of laugh in the kitchen. Curious, you come out of you lab and see Maafah and the orange mare sitting together in front of breakfast. She’s blushing slightly while the zebra is chuckling to herself.
“Ha! So you do want somepony to sit on your face, Wizard!” Maafah says as she sees you. 
Your cheeks get a little red as a wave of embarrassment washes over you. Reflectively, you turn your eyes to the orange pony, who averts your eyes in reaction.
“Well… I-I just asked her if that was a common thing for stallions to ask…” She sheepishly admits.

“Don’t worry, I don’t intent of forcing myself on you.” Maafah says with a smile “But since you seem less afraid of her, maybe I could teach our friend here about the art of queening!”
“Queening?” She blinks in confusion.
“Yes, that’s how it’s called, because you get to use his face a throne!” The zebra point at you. “And that way the stallion is at the perfect spot to service you.”
“Oh….” She blushes further. “I-I see. Ehm… I’m gonna go to my room to rest.” 
And with that, the orange pony leaves the commons. Maafah follows her a few moments later.
“I’m going to sleep too.” The zebra tells you with a seductive look. “But my room is always open to those who wish to make me their queen. My rump could use a massage these days…”
After a wink and a tantalizing swing of her tail, she leaves you alone.

While you work on your potions this week, you try to think about how you should pay your workers, and what kind of jobs you could enjoin them to do. Maybe paying them a part of what they earn will make them more motivated? You could try that… But you also would like to have them spend some of their time for Oasis. While Maafah’s your main target here, as you wish to make her stray away from the path of the Widow, you’d rather not have her think this is something personal, like she felt last week. Saying this is about to advertise bigness as a good to the town might work… but you’ll need to pay the hours worked for Oasis if you want this to work. All your mares will probably end up participating too, reducing your weekly income.
There’s something to gain out of this if you move cleverly. You just hope you’ll be able to keep making potions in the meantime…

One day, you decide to talk about working with Oasis with your workers, to see how they react to your arguments.
“I like the idea.” The nameless pony says with a smile. “Taking a break from our usual shifts will also be nice. And it’s for a good cause! So if you’re okay with that mister Wizard, I see no downside about working for Oasis.”
“As long as we keep getting paid for it, I’m fine with that too.” The zebra nods to herself. “And who knows? Maybe these poor souls we will help just need somepony to look up to.” She shows a devious grin. “I can see myself enjoying that…”
“Eh… I don’t know…” Sandy Rose looks a little conflicted. “I’ll probably pass for now. I wannasee how it goes for you girls first.” She tells the two Amazonian mares. “I don’t really see myself doing that kind of work right now...”

Eventually, it’s that day of the week again.
This week, Sandy Rose worked with the nameless pony and Maafah. She spent some time with each of them, alternating between the two mares each day to help them in their jobs. As a result, Maafah made 106 bits this week, while the orange mare made 148. Their increased confidence and size combined with the insight of the older mare did wonders for them. Sandy Rose also managed to bring 67 bits home on herself. 
“Teaching takes time.” She declares, feeling the need to justify herself. “I spent hours just observing how these two are doing to give them pointers. I’ll have more time to work on my own as the days go on.”
This week : 325 bits - 27 (own expanses) – 100 (potion) – 200 (new room) + 148 (income from ???) + 106 (income from Maafah) +67 (income from Sandy) = 319 bits.

You decided to make a potion for 100 bits this week. It’s a little sad you researches aren’t going forward, but at least a mare will grow this time. In the end, that’s what truly matters. You could give this potion to one of your employee, keep it ready in case of a fumble, or find somepony who would accept to buy it. The mare who drink this potion will add 20 to 42 inches to her height, get a boost in confidence, and some additional size when she’s stimulated. Your calculations show the size gained that way is equal to 30% of the size added by the potion.

You were going to decide what to give to each mare, but at this moment, you hear sompony banging at the door. You and you employees look at each other in surprise, as nopony expected any visitor. Still, the knocking is insistent, so you all decide to go see what this is about.

As you open the door, you come face to face with a middle-aged pegasus. He wears a round, sand-coloured hat akin to the ones explorers traditionally wear. He has an assorted shirt and jacket to cover his orange fur, while his thick brown mustache continues past his mouth and around his cheeks, underlining his jawline, before climbing up to his ears where it meets the rest of his short mane. His eyes have the colour of dark chocolate.

Behind him stands an angry-looking unicorn mare. She doesn’t wear any clothes, but has a purse held around her waist by a belt. Her coat is pastel blue, reminding you of ice, and her straight silver mane covers her right eye, before stopping a little below her chin. The one electric blue eye you can see seems to watch every movement in the street with a judgmental glare.

“Hello there, chap.” The pegasus greets you with a confident smile, and offers you a hoof to shake. “Do you have some time to talk? I’d like to do some business with you.”
“What do you want?” You ask a little suspiciously as you shake his hoof. “Are you interested in my works?”

“Ehm… not really, unfortunately. No, what interests me… is this lovely employee of yours.” He points at the former slave, who shyly looks away in reaction.
“Allow me to introduce myself.” The stallion continues. “My name’s Golden Cloud. I have been living in Kulgetwon for quite some time. A lovely place, as long as you can get your business running, and find ponies you can trust. Which bring me to the reason I’m here...”

“You see, I had the pleasure to have this talented mare help my staff for a night some time ago, and I was impressed to find such a refined stewardess going freelance. Did you know? A good maid takes years to train properly, and yet this mare has all the qualification already, and then some! So, you’ve probably guessed my point at this point… I’d like to hire her!”

“Isn’t that something you should discuss with her, then?” Maafah says.
“Of course, and I did.” The pony nods. “At the time, I offered her a pay and a room more suited for her talents than what you can offer her, sir. Ehm, no offence… I know bits do not grow on trees, and there isn’t much trees around anyway. However, your mare didn’t accept my offer, and said she’d only leave your service if you agreed to it.”
“Which made me more eager to get her to work for me of course!” The pegasus adds “Most ponies in Klugetown would sell their mother for a few bits, so helpers who know the meaning of loyalty are more precious than gold.”

“Anyway, here’s my deal, mister wizard. I offer to immediately give you 500 bits to release your employee from her contract, so I can hire her instead. I guarantee she will be treated like the gem she is, and end up much happier. And for somepony who just started their business, surely such an investment will make things a lot easier for you and your other workers.”
“How does that sound?”

>What do?

"Would you mind coming back tomorrow?" You answer after pondering for some time. "I need to talk about this with her."
"Of course, take you time." The pony nods. "In fact, my offer's on the table undefinedly. Unless, well, this precious mare breaks the 8-foot mark I guess. Her current stature is a welcome curiosity, but it's just gonna become plain inconvenient for what I have in mind past some point."

"She'll know where to find me when you've got an answer." He and the blue unicorn start to leave. "Have a nice day, Wizard."

You all get back inside after that. Truly, these 500 bits are nothing. If she gets bringing home more, that's merely 3 weeks of income from your employee. But still, you decide to ask your mare about her opinion on the matter. Whether she considers going with Golden Cloud or not.
"Well… I don't know. It's true offered me a better pay, and a very pretty room. But… he's got a whole team of workers and employees already, so…" She blushes slightly. "I feel like I'm more useful here?" She sounds unsure of herself.

>What do?

"And I would be remised to lose you." You state. "I would like nothing more that to have you stay around."
"Thanks, wizard..." She only answers with a genuine grin of relief.

After that, you pay your mare 45 bits each, which leaves you at 184 bits. Both Maafah and the orange pony seem satisfied with that, but Sandy Rose raises an eyebrow at you. The pay is probably fine, so you suppose It's because you've yet to put in practice what she advised you about working conditions.

You then decide to share your breakfast. Nothing fancy, mostly oats and toast, but you like sharing some meals with your employees.

"So how are you holding up?" You ask the orange pony. "I mean, getting used to your new size. Are you alright with it?"
"Hum, yeah!" She nods. "It was a little awkward the first days. I bumped in a couple of things… b-but I didn't break anything, promised! But now I think it's funny seeing everything so small. It's like… the whole world's a little cuter from my perspective."
"And I guess… I'm curious about getting even bigger…" She sheepishly adds.

>What do?

"That's good." You smile. "Because that's exactly what I want to do to you!"
The mare only chuckles at your devotion to making mares bigger in response.

Once you're done eating, you decide to have a talk with Sandy Rose. First, you hand her the 15 bits (169 left) so she can go buy beauty products for everyone. Then you ask her about drinking the potion you made this week.
"Fine." She lets out a sight as she snatches the potion from your hooves. "I guess that's why I'm here for after all… But you know what? When I see the two other mares, this doesn't seem so bad."

"Cheers to you wizard!" She raises the bottle in the air, before emptying its content in her gullet in a mere second. The effect activates instantly. Once again, a mare grows past your height. Sandy was already on the taller side for mares, so it seems she grows even quicker that the rest.
"Wow!" She smiles at the awed stare you give her. "It's been some years a stallion hasn't looked at me with THESE eyes."
The mare blows a kiss at you with a wink, all to happy to see the heat coming to your face. And she keep growing… and growing… until she reaches the height of 7'3''. You think the hit the high side of the growth range. And it's not over yet.

"Ah…!" a moan escapes her mouth as the final spurt of growth propels her to an amazing 8'3''. She could look down on Celestia herself at this size, and you look smaller than a foal next to her.
"Naughty colt…" She says with a smirk. "You couldn't resist putting something else in here, could you?"
But unlike the orange mare, Sandy doesn't shrink down after that. Instead, her horn lights up, and you see the glow of her magic coming from under her tail.

"Oh...yeah." She bites her lip lustfully "I need some me time right now. Unless you wish to be the new Sandy's first customer, wizard!" She says with a sultry voice. "Only ten bits, and we have our way together until we both get a happy ending. A bargain!"

>What do?

"YES!" You blurt. But then you decide to turn your brain back on a little. "Uh, I mean, if that's what you want… I'll be able to do some scientific observation that way. Let's go granny!"
"DON'T you EVER call me granny!" She cuts you, an angry expression on her face.
"Uhm… s-sorry m'am…" You stutter an apology. "I won't do it again."
"Good boy…" Sandy gives you a predatory grin. "Let's get going while the dish is still hot."

You follow the amazon to her room, occasionally getting a glance on her glistening entrance. You're already almost fully hard too by the time you arrive.
There, the older mare lies on her side on the bed, watching you with a lustful glare while her hoof traces tantalizing circles on her rump.

"Tell me wizard." She coos. "Which of my talents do you wish to explore? You're paying, so you get to make the first call."

>What do?

"You've been playing with your marehood, haven't you?"
"Ah… Just a little." She sheepishly answers "To keep me ready, you know? Do you want to take over?"
"I can't deny something so… tempting." 

Sandy licks her lips. She repositions herself to present her rear side to you. Her tail is lifted up, showing you her awaiting tear-shaped entrance, and her dainty anal ring in the middle of her buttocks. Her proportion weren't very impressive this morning, but your treatment made her more bountiful that any mare outside this place.
"Go for it, wizard." She encourages you with a 'wink'. "With whatever you like. Just, please don't make a lady wait…"

You did not intend to.
You bring your face closer to the wet entrance, but before going to the real deal, you use your hooves to get a feel of the mare's ass. Her thighs and buttocks are firm, with nearly no fat to speak of, but a healthy amount of muscle instead. Her whole body is like that. Lean, but not thin. Perfectly healthy.

You push your face between the two masses of muscles, feeling their heat on your face while you hug and massage the vast amount of mare meet. You feel her two holes twitch in anticipation.
Not wanting to make her wait anymore, you decide to make use of your tongue. Sandy lets out a dreamy sigh as you kiss her button, before starting to nibble on her lips.

When you sure she's ready, you decide to push your muzzle inside. It's only been one potion, and already you're able to jam you whole jaw and nose inside her pussy. Sandy gasps, and start to moan uncontrollably as you ram you mouth inside her. Eyes closed, you're only focused on using your hooves to remain safely anchored to the rear of the larger mare, and to get your tongue as deep as you can. Her internal muscle twitch, and press against your face more and more urgently. Just by getting to enjoy so much pussy and ass, your own sex is ready to blast at the first stimulation.
"You really like your mares big, don't you?!" Sandy exclaims between two moans. "Come on, your potion made me pretty close already. Keep going please!"

>What do?

Like the gentlecolt you are, you keep eating her out while massaging her thighs. A treatment which seems to be very effective.
"Y-yes!" She howls "You're amazing, wizard! I'm gonna… AAAAAAH!"
Her whole body trembles, and the walls of her pussy clench so hard on your snout it's almost painful, but you obstinately remain in place, even when the flood of mare juice come. Sandy Rose keep uttering high-pitched moans of bliss for a few more moment, until her whole body seem to relax at once.

You get you mouth out of her lips, and watch as the mare slouches on the bed, panting, but a satisfied smile on her face. At this moment, you see a sad thing happen, as Sandy Rose loses a foot of height as she cools down. She's still tall enough to keep your pecker as hard as a rock, though.

"Ah… it's not often I get a customer who chooses to take care of me like that." She tells you once she caught her breath. "Let me return the favor." 
With her magic, she brings you on the bed, lying on your back. Then, she gives your still erect shaft a lick from its base to its tip, her tongue covering more than half your surface at once. Then, she places a deep kiss on your flare, whit a little bit of suction which makes you whole body shiver in pleasure.
"How about we see what my mouth is capable off at this size?"

"Actually..." You put a hoof on her large snout to stop her. "I'd like to feel you getting bigger. That happens when you get horny."
"Oh, so that's what this what about?" She ponders for a second. "That makes more sense. Alright, then… how do you want to go about it?"

>What do?

"Get on top, and do what feels right to you." You tell Sandy.
"You sure?" She raises an eyebrow, looking a little worried. "Well, you're the growth expert here. Then, I hope you don't mind if I get a second serving of your tongue. I've got some catching up to do if you wanna make me bigger again."

While you lie your back, Sandy Rose straddles you whole body with hers. Your vision is once again filled with her butt and genitalia. But this time, you're completely covered from your neck to your crotch by her. You dick is pulsing against Sandy's chest while the rest of your body is locked in place. Your hind legs can only flail useless, while you front hooves and tongue can take care of the still drenched mare pussy in front of you.

Her hooves hold some of her weight off you, but even like that, it's harder for you to breath, your ribcage pressed tight under Sandy's slim belly. 
And you want more.

Too eager to witness the miracle of your magic, you pick up where you left on pleasuring the amazon mare. Meanwhile, Sandy seldomly and slowly strokes your cock with a hoof, conscious any more would make you cum instantly.
You keep dutifully twisting your tongue and harassing Sandy's button, much to her pleasure from the moans you hear.
"You really have another kind of magic than your spells, wizard." You hear her coo. "Oh? My, I think what you expected is happening. Keep up the good world, and I'll give you your favorite finish!"

She's right.
A shiver of sexual fever courses through your whole body as you can FEEL her growing. You feel her ass slowly balloon under your hooves while it comes closer to your face. You see her marehood and anus seemingly towering higher and higher over you. This is slower than when she drank the potion. Still, the feeling of the whole Sandy growing larger, heavier, making you sink further into the mattress is absolutely mind-numbing.
This only makes you more eager to service her, as you can plunge your snout deeper into her folds once again. You're getting light-headed, as your sexual frenzy is almost making you forget to even breathe.

"Oh, yeah…" You hear Sandy's low moan reverberate in all her huge body. "This is going be good… Try not to fuck this up wizard."
You don't have time to wonder what she meant, until you see her ass come down to smother your whole head. You enter in a lightless, but wonderful world. The pressure is prodigious, her strong flank allowing little space for your front limbs, so these just end up pinned under more mare ass that you can handle. Your snout is pushed deeper than ever before by this maneuver, your closed eyes almost completely inside her lips, and once again you hear the muffled moans of Sandy Rose reverberate through the walls of her pussy.

And there, you feel you cock taken in a wet cavity. It's your turn to utter a howl of pleasure as Sandy just took your member in her mouth. Her powerful tongue squeezes your shaft tightly while her lips go up and down on you at a rapid pace. You feel yourself ready to explode already, which only encourages you to twist your muzzle around with the little strength you have, and writhe your tongue to make you partner climax too.

And from the higher pitched moans you feel vibrating on your dick, that's exactly what gonna happen. After one last effort, you feel Sandy's pussy squeeze your face even tighter than last time while you unleash a torrent of fluids in her mouth. Even while she's climaxing, Sandy drinks everything you give her, siphoning you cum with so much strength you feel like she might be aspiring the whole content of your balls even beyond what you can cum.
This is the most intense climax you've ever had. The feeling makes your mind go blank, and you feel yourself depart to nirvana, lost in a world of wet giant mare pussy and hurricane-force blowjobs.

You come to your sense… some time later. You think you hear Sandy hum little song as she walks around.

"You alright, wizard?" She asks you with a carefree tone. "Good. I'm gonna take a shower now. Just closed the door when you leave. Oh, and, forget about that ten bits thing." She winks. "It’s a house rule of mine to make it free if I get to cum more."
The mare exits the room at this point, blowing a kiss at you as she passes the door.
"See you around, stud!"

You need a little more time to get on your hooves, having nearly suffocated and all that. Once you've washed yourself clean, you hear from the orange pony Sandy got out saying she probably won't come back until dusk.
"Something about showing her new size to her friends." She says. "And she'll also buy the beauty products while she's here."

As for Maafah, you think she's in here room.

>What do?

"Also, I wanted to congratulate for how many bits you brought home this week." You tell the orange mare. "You really outdid yourself!"
"Thank you!" She grins in response. "It's all thanks to Sandy, though. I still have trouble following what she says in a natural way, like soliciting. It's a little awkward to go bother random ponies like that, but I'm getting the hang at this I think."

You smile to yourself as you imagine this shy mare trying to get her customers. But there's something a little more business-oriented you'd like to ask her.
"You know, I think I'm gonna try to hire more mares as fast as possible." You declare. "But we're still low on funds, even with Sandy, so… would you accept to share your room? Just for one week, maybe two if something unexpected happens. Until we got the money to renovate another room."
That said, this might not happen next week already. Especially if you ask your mares to work for Oasis a little.
"Mmmmh..." She ponders for a second. "Sure. I wouldn't mind. I mean, as long as it's temporary. I really like having a room for myself, like we agreed to…"

"That's good to know. Alright, I'm done bothering you with business things. Now, did you manage to spend some time with your sewing kit? I'm curious about what you can make!"
The pony's smile widens.

"Hold on, there's something I meant to show you actually!" She says excitedly. There, she climbs upstairs and comes back hiding something behind her back.
"Alright, close your eyes wizard." She asks you, and you obey. And then you feel something being placed on your head.

When you open your eyes and look in the mirror, there's a hat on our head. The kind of pointy hat wizards usually wear in fantasy and stories. There's convenient holes for your horn and ears, and the fabric is comfortable, a bit fuzzy.
"Do you like it?" She asks "I always though you looked a little naked, wizard."

>What do?

"I love it!" you say as you turn to her, which makes her produce a happy chuckle. "I would kiss you right now, but…"
"But what?" She blinks obliviously.

"Well, I think this would be uncalled for. What happened with Sandy earlier… I regret it a little." You confess. Not that the intercourse itself was a big secret since the other two were here when you accepted to follow Sandy. "I'd rather have our relationship… I mean, with everypony here, to remain mostly professional for now." You smile again, and mumble. "Unless the occasion is very special…"
"Oh, alright." She smiles back, with a faint blush. "But you know, I'm surprised you'd choose to act like this. To be honest, since you're a fetish wizard, I expected you to… well, to do what you did with Sandy a lot more often."

"Hey, this isn't all about sex, you know?" You feign to be offended. "Larger mares are a complete and healthy lifestyle. That's what I'm about to prove to the whole world!"
The mare giggles at your antics.
"Alright, but if kisses are off-limits, how about platonic hugs?"
"Most definitely allowed!" You state, and then take the pony in your arms. Or, more accurately, you put your hooves around her chest, barely able to get around it, while she squeezes you with her much bigger limbs against her. With you head nested under her chin, you feel butterflies in your tummy as you enjoy being pressed against the warm amazonian mare.

"Still, I'm amazed you could make so muck money even without soliciting." You tell her after breaking the hug. "You're even hotter than I realized!"
"Ah, no, I did do that a little…" The mare blushes furiously. "But I was really bad at it. Sandy always seem to know what to say to make ponies follow her on the other hoof."
"Yeah, she's persuasive. Very persuasive." You chuckle to yourself. "Anyhow, thanks for the hat again. But have you thought about making anything for yourself?

"For myself? Well, the problem is that you still intend to make me bigger, don't you?" She cringes for a second. "So… I was thinking of waiting until you give me another potion. Then I could work on something for myself. That way I could keep it longer."

>What do?

"Oh. Sorry. I should have though about that actually." You scratch your head. "Maybe you could start with something… size-agnostic. Like a scarf maybe?"
You also think about trying to find some more stretchy fabric, and about cutting out the unstable part of the growth for her next potion. But you choose not to make any promises for now.

"Also, do you know how big you'd like to get?" You ask her. "Have you given any though about what your preferred height could be?"
"Well. Not really." She answers. "But I think like it's fun to explore new perspectives! As long as doesn't cause any problem, I don't see why I should stop growing."
These are words you'd like to hear more often.

"I'll keep that in mind. Also, is everything still going well generally speaking? How do you feel about volunteering? Did anything strange happen lately?"
"Mmh… no, not really." She shakes her head. "I look forward to working with Oasis. But this week was busy with Sandy to look after us. I didn't really have time to think about anything else. Although, I feel like Maafah's a little blue recently." The mare looks around, to make sure nopony's listening. "She keeps her confident attitude up when you're around, but otherwise, she has gotten a little… gloomy. I hope she's alright."

>What do?

"Sad?" You frown. "Are you sure? I mean, I've got trouble imagining her that way…"
"I think that's true." The orange mare insists. "I've seen her being a lot more aloof lately. And it's been a couple of time I've seen her lost in her thoughts, just staring in the air. When we're just together, she doesn't look as confident as she used to be."
"Mmh… I'm gonna try talking to her I think." You nod, before heading for her room. "Thanks for telling me."

Unlike the orange mare, Maafah was trying to get into your pants in some way. So maybe seeing you give in so easily to Sandy Rose made her upset. You need to talk this out, and maybe give her the same kind of explanation you told the other mare.

You knock on door of the zebra, and a few seconds later, she comes to open. As soon as she recognizes you, she puts on her confident smile. You also notice Paka the kitten standing on the bed. He's at the middle of a big depression in the mattress.
"Oh? So you came to visit me after all." Maafah coos "What's the matter? Now that you got a taste of a larger mare, are you here see why I really AM the best?"

>What do?

"I'm gonna tell you the truth." You try not show any emotion, even if a small part of you would like to just cover the cat's eyes and have some adult fun with Maafah. But you've got to stop thinking with your dick for today.
"I heard you were feeling down lately." You see her smile tense up a bit. "So I came to ask if you would like talk about it."

"Weeeeeell, alright, alright. You got me, this is not the best time for me." She keeps her act up, but you do feel like she's a little nervous.
"I mean, you can probably figure out why… I'm back to being a smallish mare, comparatively speaking, and some old-ass whore instantly succeeded where I failed…"
A good thing Sandy didn't hear that one.

Still, you'd like Maafah to drop the act completely before talking truthfully yourself. Paka jumped down the bed while she was talking, and came to rub himself against her back hooves.
"How's the kitten doing?" You ask instead.
"Well, he's fine. As you can see."
She picks Paka up with a hoof, and bring him close to her face where he gives her a nuzzle. She then places him on top of her head, where the zebra's mane gives him more than enough space to sit comfortably.
"He helps me calm myself down." She says, her voice a tad softer suddenly "Also, I can envision how it'll feel with ponies when I'll be much bigger." She winks.

>What do?

After that last sentence, you casually try to see if there's any doll of building model in her room, but there's no evidence Maafah's been doing any kind of role playing lately.

"Listen Maafah. You need to know I find your tractor very sexy."
"M-my tractor?"
 "By your tractor I mean you. Your body. Your attitude. Your personality." You state. "I've been tempted several times to just give in so I could get a piece of you."
"I'm gonna guess there's a 'but'…" 
"BUT I'm really NOT into being used by somepony else. Sandy was honest and upfront with what she wanted. Her growth made me horny. She was horny. She asked for bits. She said this was just to get us both off. The very definition of casual sex! And not something about becoming your exclusive property or something."

Maafah lets out a dejected sigh, she completely dropped her act by now.
"Yeah, I think I figured that's not something you're gonna accept by now."
"So you ARE feeling blue. I can try to help if you want." Seeing her like this, you can't resist picking on her a little. "…Unless the Widow never feels sad or lonely!"

"Give me a break with the Widow!" Maafah chuckles. "This doesn't have anything to do with her. Well… mostly I guess. I just have to find a new groove."
"Weren't you talking about finding somepony else to worship you?"
"These don't grow on trees. I mean, even a crazy wizard who's a sucker for larger mares didn't want to serve me!" The says jokingly. "The world is actually harsh on born-goddesses, mind you!"

>What do?

"Speaking of grooves, how was work this week?" You decide to talk about lighter matters to get back to your point a little later. "So and so said her lessons were on how to get more comfortable soliciting. I assume you have no problems in that field."

"Yeah, probably not the same problems as hers." Maafah tilts her head to the side. "Not unlike you, Sandy says I'm being too self-centered for a job which is basically based on servicing others. But seriously, there's just some stallions who feel the need to call you a dirty birch or a slut every five seconds. How stupid do you have to be to do that when a mare twice you weight has your penis in her mouth?!" 
At this point the zebra get a little sheepish, as she realizes what she told you. "Ahem… don't worry, this just ended up with some little marks and the dude feeling tail between legs. Hehe…"

"A-and did you spend time at Oasis already?" You change the subject again. "Do you think they're really gonna help us make the town more comfortable with the idea of Goddesses walking around?"
"It's a little late for the flattery, wizard!" She growls jokingly. "But seriously, they're probably the best we can hope for. I heard some ponies saying things about how some of them being posers, and that their leaders just wanted to leech off the mayor's money, but people who just work for them look like they're well received by almost everypony."

"Shouldn't you try that?" You decide to strike now. "I mean, on a personal level. Ponies will be heads over hooves if when they see a generous big mare striving for the greater good of all. And I can guarantee the adoration you'll get from scooping up something cute to snuggle it in you powerful embrace will be much more real than the domination through sex you're looking for now. Most ponies keep that kind of relation to the bedroom, you know?"
"You really think so?" She seems to genuinely give it a though.
"Of course!" You nod back. "Look at Paka. See how much he loves you for doting on him the way you do!"
"So… you're saying I should act with ponies like I act with Paka?" The zebra says with a playful grin.

Before you can react, Maafah uses her hooves to take you in a tight hug. While she presses you against her chest, you feel her nuzzling her snout against the top of your head and against your horn, while she strokes you back with a hoof, almost like she was… petting you.
"Aww look at you!" Maafah coos "Aren't you the cutest wizard? Do you want some belly rubs?"

>What do? 

"Meow? I mean, b-belly rubs?" You utter as you free you mouth from the zebra's neck.
"Belly rubs." She confirms, smiling, but sounding dead serious.

After allowing Paka to safely get back on the floor, the zebra brings you on her bed. There, she puts you on your back, while she lies on her side. With a large hoof, she starts to draw circles on your tummy. The stroking makes you shiver, as her gentle touch fills you with warmth.
"He... I guess it's true." Maafah giggles lightly as you obviously enjoy the situation. "When they say you get to a colt through his tummy."

She proceeds to stroke you harder at this point. The tickling makes your body tingle all over, while your smaller hooves clamp on hers reflexively, but they're unable to even slow the rubbening you're undergoing. You let out a pleasured sigh as she then returns to a slower pace.

"Can I rub your belly too?" You ask her.
Maafah only lets out a little chuckle in response. She then shifts on the bed, moving her belly closer to your face. You timidly bring a hoof on the soft striped flesh. It's smooth. Unlike Sandy, Maafah has some pudge on her, not enough to call her fat, especially as when you push a little harder, you hoof only sinks a little as there are actually muscles behind the zebra's plush.

You begin to move your hoof around the tummy which would be able to cover a good chuck of your whole body. She's so big… You feel like a foal next to her right now. The zebra lets out a low hum of pleasure in response to your touch.
"Do you like it?" She whispers, as she gently pushes your head on her belly button. "Because it's nice to feel you there."

You close your eyes, and simply enjoy how comfortable you are against the larger zebra mare. Her warmth, and the gentle touch of her big hooves on you make you forget about all your problem. You idly stroke the plushy belly of the mare, while you listen at the slow and steady heartbeat you can hear through the flesh.
You don't even realize when you fall asleep…

When you wake you, the room is plunged in darkness. It must be way into the night already… You hear the breathing of the zebra next to you, and you feel a hint of sadness as you realize she isn't holding you anymore. She simply sleeps, Paka rising and falling a little with each breath of her as the kitten has chosen to take your spot on her belly.

You decide to silently exit the room. As you suspected, it's a little past midnight, and you think everypony has gone to sleep already. Meanwhile, you're just here, full of energy and feeling more refreshed than ever.

Well. These potions aren't gonna brew themselves!

See you next week. As always, feel free to input commands/direction/feedback of any sort. You will brew a potion for 150 bits this week. You may attempt to ask Butterswirl if she'd accept to share a room with your nameless mare for some time and work for you. Also, you may decide how much time, out of six days of work, you want your employees to work for Oasis, and how much you'll pay them for this.

“Hello!” Butterswirl says with a little bow toward the orange mare. “My name’s Butterswirl! Thanks for taking me in!”
“It’s nothing.” Your worker answers with a benevolent smile. “You look like a sweet pony, Butterswirl. I can’t wait to get to know-“
“So how does it feel being so big!?” The blue pony interrupts her, a wide grin on her face.
“Well…”
“Can I touch you?” Butterswirl says and starts to probe the bigger mare’s torso. “Woaaaaah! You’re so massive already! Look at your hooves! Look at your eyes!” Butterswirl flies up to take the mare’s cheeks in her hooves.
*gasp!* “I could use them as mirrors! So that’s what the potion of mister Wizard can do? That’s awesome! Does it do anything else than making you taller?”
“I… y-yeah…” The orange mare answers uncomfortably.
*GAASSSSP!* “Tell me EVERYTHING, please I need to hear it ALL pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease…”
“A-alright.” The orange pony tries to calm the ecstatic pegasus in front of her.
You’re gonna leave the two newly-acquainted mares discuss among themselves. It look like they've got a lot to tell each other.

Maafah, Butterswirl and the orange mare decide to go work for Oasis on the same day, for the first day of the week. When they come back, they’re tired but look happy with what they did.
“They had us help renovate some ruined building.” The orange pony tells you. “There's no owner anymore, but some homeless ponies are living here, and the whole place threatens to collapse. The first thing to do was to destroy the most unstable parts to build something completely new instead.”
“It was amazing!” Butterswirl exclaims. “She and Maafah could make some stone walls fall by themselves, and then they could clear the rubble like it was nothing! Everypony else was super impressed by them!”
“Ah… It was nothing…” The orange mare blushes with a smile. “I mean, it’s all thanks to mister Wizard’s potions we could do that…”

Later, you can’t help but to feel like you owe Sandy an explanation about what happened with her. During the week, you manage to find a moment where she’s enjoying a cup of coffee alone.
You tell her about your feelings, and how you wish for what happened last week-end not no become something common. The mare listens to you in silence, a little smirk on her face.

“You know, stud, believe it or not, but it isn’t rare for stallions to come back with words like yours.” She says. “‘I don’t know what came into me’, ‘This was just a one-time thing’, ‘Let’s just forget about last night’… That’s the kind of things I hear maybe…” She ponders “Once a month?”

“’Tell you what, stud.” She chuckles “I’ve come to find it funny, especially since half these colts end up coming back later and urge me to forget about their pious declarations. But really, the most amusing thing is that they seem to forget I’m a professional. That kind of intimacy stopped going to my head… or to my heart a long time ago. In fact, I’ve come to believe they’re mostly projecting their own doubts about their feelings, and that they’re trying to convince themselves with their words. So even if I’m glad you’re being honest, how you want our relationship to go is only in your hooves, really.”

“Don’t you worry though. I don’t plan on taking advantage of you in any way. I’ll just keep doing what you ask me to do, as long as you pay for it, one way or another…” She winks seductively. “I guess I can try reminding you about what you said today when the time comes. However, if you insist, I won’t refuse my services to you either.”

This week, you take every occasion you can get to hug Maafah and the orange mare. Every time is good for a hug, you decide. Good morning hug, good night hug, have-a-good-day hug… Now that you know these mares can play nice and appreciate this kind of contact, you can’t help but to enjoy it as much as you can. And you think it’s having rather positive effects too! Both Maafah and the orange mare seem happy to snuggle with you, and sometimes come to hold you on their own after a long day. You really wanted to focus on your nameless mare with the cuddling, but after the thankful note you left Maafah, the zebra made sure to ask for her fair share of hugs. She is maybe a little more forceful than the other one, but she eventually lets you come out of her embrace when you mention you still have to work on the potion.

As the days go on, you think something’s starting to happen around you in Klugetown. You’re not sure if it’s having Sandy among your mares, the rest of them working for Oasis, the new fancy hat you wear all the time, or simply because it’s been a little over a month you’ve started your business, but you think you’re starting to have some sort of a reputation around town. Ponies look at you and start to whisper as you come in view, and the tenants of the shops where you buy your ingredients sounds a little more polite. Whether it’s a good or a bad thing, this is yet something you must discover…

While you work in your lab, you attempt to think about ways to make potions faster. But the more you look at it, the more you realize your current lab equipment just won't cut out for that. You're using cutting-edge stuff for your work, and didn't set up your lab with quantity in mind since you knew the materials would be very expensive. When you moved in, a whole 2000 bits went into your lab. If you had to give an estimation, you think you'd need 500 bits to upgrade your lab so you can produce up to three potions per week. These could be different versions of your potions or the same, but the overall speed of your research won't increase. After that, you'd need even more bits to produce even more potions, as you're need to replace more equipment from your original lab.

Eventually, it's that day again, and you have a potion ready. Next one will cost 200 bits to make.
This week, Maafah made 128 bits, while the orange mare made 152 bits. Considering they’re now doing a 5-day week, this is still a rather encouraging outcome. Sandy’s teaching are still helping them progress.
Sandy herself had more time to work on her own this week. She managed to make 182 bits this week. One night she spent at a bar, the patrons, already impressed by her size, didn’t believe she could grow even larger on command. Sandy raised the bets, and naturally won it all. The patrons were also eager to get their hooves on Sandy after that, and this ended up being a very productive night. Sandy made 101 additional bits this day, for a total on 283 for the week.

Meanwhile, Butterswirl ended up coming back with… 18 bits. The blue mare looks at her hooves embarrassedly after handing you the few coins.
“I don’t know what you two agreed.” Sandy starts to tell, looking at you. “But this mare here, well… she clearly wasn’t ready to sell her body. I tried talking about it with her, and she promised me she would try again the next day. But when the time came… I couldn’t get my hooves on her. I tried to let her a chance before bring this stuff to you, stud, but I’m afraid you’ve got to sort this out between yourselves at this point.”

“I-I thought I was ready! Honest!” Butterswirl shakily speaks up. “I know I said I’d do it, but… I’m sorry! I just can’t… do that…” She shrinks away, before giving you a desperate smile. “B-but, if you could give me a potion, I’m sure I’ll be able to make money in some other way! I’ll be super motivated, I promise!”

While Sandy remains rather neutral, Maafah and the orange mare seem to feel awkward about this. They do not speak up to defend Butterswirl, but their expressions make it look like they feel bad for the blue mare.

This week: 169 bits -150 bits (potion) – 27 bits + 283 bits (income from Sandy) + 152 bits (income from ???) + 128 bits (income from Maafah) = 555 bits. (-200 pending for Butterswirl's room)

>What do?

You have trouble deciding whether to give the potion to Butterswirl or the other mare. Eventually, some sort of coin flip ends up happening in your mind… and you decide to give the potion to Butterswirl.

A wide grin appears on her face, but she does her best to remain composed.
"Th-thanks! I'll do my best I promise." Butterswirl says, her eyes fixated on the potion. She then uncorks it, and gluttonously drink it. 
Immediately, she lets out a *squee* as he body start to grow. Once more, another mare grows larger than you. The blue pony starts to spin on herself as she looks at every aspect of her body changing and you can't help but to notice her rear seem to fill out a little more than the rest, proportionally speaking. That's new… 

The growth goes on and on… she become larger than Maafah, taller than the Orange mare, until Butterswirl reaches an amazing 7'4'', which is just one inch taller than Sandy Rose.

However, something weird happens at this point. 
Butterswirl's face suddenly become pale, and she starts to cough violently. And then a jet of fire suddenly erupts for her mouth. While the flames were too small to damage anything, this was clearly a painfull experience for the blue mare.
"Ouchie…" Butterswirl moans, trembling while she holds her tummy in pain. Your other mares quickly rush to see if she's alright, helping her sit down on the worn out-couch while the orange mare brings her water and some of the generic medicine you have at hand.

You wince as you see your experimental data. Yep, this potion made a fumble. Surely the bad experience you just witnessed is a symptom, but you're afraid that's not nearly the whole extend of the effects Butterswirl has undergone. You better try to figure out what happened before it comes bursting on your face in full force…

Among the good news, though, you think Butterswirl's complexion triggered another random effect. There was the fumble, her rear getting a little meatier, and you also think the grows range of your potion increased, even if it wasn't obvious since Butterswirl hit the average range, while Sandy had prior struck near the top. Also, while you do not understand how this fumble effect happened, you can think of a simple way to avoid this particular effect to happen again. Fumbles still have the same chance to happen, but it won't be this one.

According to your calculations, your next potion will cost 200 bits to make, and the mare who drinks it will get between 33 and 66 inches taller than her original size, plus the additional effects which may show up. Fumble and crits are not carried over, which means another potion 'heals' the effects of a fumble.

>What do?

You try to reassure yourself for a second. Fire breathing isn't a bad thing, is it? Well… Seeing Butterswirl chugging down several bottles of water and some pills for stomach ache, this clearly wasn't a good experience from her perspective...

Besides, this just won't be it. You're sure of it. The effects may be random, but this is still a growth potion from a growth wizard Butterswirl drank. The main effect must be size-related somehow, but it isn't apparent yet. There's a chance the fire thing might be a clue about the true nature of transformation which happened, though.

This is bad luck. Butterswirl's start at your company is a bit rough, but you doubt just giving up on her will bring any good either.
At least because everyone will know where to look at should a 7' mare start causing problems in town…

>What do?

You wish you could make a potion right away, but this won't do… Even making the first version of your potion and giving it to her will take six days, in addition of making the blue mare shrink. You're not sure your heart could withstand seeing such a sad thing happen… And while Butterswirl would trigger another random effect, you wouldn't be a able to capitalize on it since the advancement you made already went another direction.

Still, you have to figure out what just happened.
Fire breathing… while this trait is not unique, there's isn't that many creatures possessing it either. Perhaps there's some clues here…

On the top of your head, dragons obviously. And regarding size, there's the myth about dragon greed you know about.
The sources are… contradictory on the topic, though. Only a few known dragons have become subject to this particular condition, which manifests with a violent need to accumulate riches of all kinds while feeding the dragon's might, making them bigger the more they add to their hoard. Still, this can supposedly be healed, or just stop at some point.

Salamanders are also known for their affinity with fire. In fact, it is believed fire is the representation of their life, and they thrive in it. Will Butterswirl start to carve fire for her meals? Will she grow more if her body's engulfed in flames? Will her own mane and tail transform in fire? That all sounds dangerous…

Finally, cockatrices also have the ability to breathe fire, even if their main characteristic is still their petrifying gaze.
You don't think Butterswirl's been staring at anypony in particular since she drank the potion, but what if she had some size stare? Like growing or shrinking pony she looks at? At least, your growth wizard senses inform you everypony here is at the height they should be.

This is all general knowledge, though. Perhaps more research is necessary, but you could also attempt to… test some thing with Butterswirl from what you already know.
The blue pony seem to have finally calmed down, and she does her best to reassure your other workers, telling she feels alright now.

>What do?

"Hey, are you alrigh?" You ask Butterswirl as you approach the 4 amazonian mare. "Sorry, that wasn't supposed to happen…"
"It's okay mister Wizard, don't worry!" She smiles while she shakes her head. "I've had way worst, and now I'm okay, promised!"
"Hum… can I still examine you a little?" You reply "Just to be sure."

The mare nods obediently and stands in front of you.
"Alright, I want you to look into my eyes, without blinking, for as long as you can." You say, and she obeys. The plate-sized eyes of the mare stare down into yours, but even after ten seconds, nothing out of the ordinary seems to happen.
"So how does it feel?" You start with her eyes still on you. "Are you excited about becoming taller?"
"Yes, very much!" She grins. "This is so fun! I can't wait to see everpony's faces when I go outside. And then I'll be even bigger. I look forward to it!"

That didn't trigger any change either, so you think it's probably not her stare which has been affected.
Then you collect a lock from her mane and start to experiment with it a little, out of the mares' view. You try to see how the hair reacts to fire, and you observe what you collected simply won't burn. Even when you plunge it in flames, it keeps it usual pink and yellow gradient. Now that's something unusual, but you don't think it's decisive to deduce what happened to the mare. 
You would try to test the dragon greed, but you're not sure how to go with that, or what kind of precautions you should take…

For now, you come back to the common room, where all your mares are still waiting.
"Butterswirl?" The bat-winged mare perks up as you call her name. "I want to test something. Do you think you could try breathing fire again?"
"Huh…?" She blinks in confusion. "You think that's something I could… Wait… my tummy, it does feel a little different…"
She concentrates, and you think you hear belly gurgle. And a few seconds later, a jet of scarlet fire come out of her mouth along a sonorous blech.

"WOAH!" She exclaims gleefully. "And it didn't even hurt at all! Ahem… sorry about that. Hold on… I think I can do it without sounding impolite."
There, the mare starts to spit out little tongues of fire under the baffled gaze of the three other workers. This seems immensely fun to the blue mare, though, and she giggles with each flame she manages to create.

>What do?

"Alright… Listen Butterswirl." You decide it's best she hears what you're thinking. "I'm afraid the potion you drank gave you… dragon greed."
"Huh?" She blinks in confusion. "So you mean… I'm part dragon now?"
"Yes. And more importantly, I need to test if you have developed some sort of obsession for gold and the like."

Butterswirl has been gold-free since she drank the potion. She gave you her earnings of the week, and the rest of her money is in her room. So you decide to see what happens when you put her in contact with money. You have her present her hooves to you, and put a gold bit here.

She doesn't seem to react at first, but you see her ear twitch at the sound of the second bit hitting the first. And then at the third hitting the second. With each new coin, the mare seems to forget a little more about the world around her, focusing solely on the shiny metal in her hooves. By the time you've given her 10 bits, Butterswirl stares mesmerized at the small pile in her hooves.

And there you see it. It' almost imperceptible, but the mare in front of you starts swelling. She gained about 1 inch at this point, but she's subtly growing more right now.

"Keep going."

You're taken out of your thoughts at Butterswirl's order, and look at her face again. There's no trace of her bubbly personality left on her face, and instead she looks at you with a blank, but dead-serious expression.
"Keep. Going." She repeats a little more… threateningly, still staring in your eyes. A spark of fire also comes out from her nose.

>What do?

"Nope, not a chance…" You murmur, shaking your head.
The blue mare angrily shows you her teeth in response, them being pointier than what you'd expect from a pony. Before you can react, she violently pushes you with a hoof, sending you on you back, and snatches the bag you were handing the bits from. There was still 40 more coins in there.

Butterswirl brings the purse in front of her face and looks at it with a maniacal grin. There, she instantly shoots up by a whole foot in height, reaching 8'5'', significantly bigger than all your other mares and almost twice as tall as you.

At that point though, she seems to come to her senses, and her ravenous grin slowly fades into a horrified expression.
"Oh… N-no… I'm so sorry mister Wizard!" She says, visibly on the verge of crying. "I just couldn't control myself. It's the gold. Its song, its feeling, holding it felt so good… It felt so right…" She looks a little dazed for a second, but shakes her head to regain her spirits, leaving her confused and panting under the shocked gaze of everyone else in the room.

"Uh…" You wince as you get back on your hooves. "I think you're gonna spend the week working with Oasis."
Butterswirl nods energetically in response. Her hooves are still clamped on your purse, though, and with no visible intent of letting it go.

>What do?

"Alright, Butterswirl." You calmly tell the startled mare. "You need to let go of the purse. Or this might get really out of control. We're gonna need to greed detox you!"

The pony looks at the bag of bits she stole, and then to you again. Slowly, she starts to hand it in your direction, trembling all the way. But just before you could grab it, she urgently takes it back to squeeze it tight against her chest.
"S-sorry…" She just mumbles, looking to the floor in shame.

She doesn't look like she might get violent in the near future, but clearly giving up riches seems really hard for Butterswirl. The three other mares here could still manage to subdue her at this point, so you could forcibly get the pouch back from her. But clearly, it's the immediate sight of gold and the possibility of acquiring it which makes the mare react. Besides her obvious shock, it looks like Butterswirl became somewhat reasonable again, as long as money is not involved.

But she still hasn't shrunk down, though. You can't help but thin you could try using this to make her a lot bigger… Maybe just before you give her the next potion? But before that, you're gonna make sure Oasis know she is not to come in contact with riches of any kind, and have your other employees make sure she doesn't succumb to temptation over the week.

Sadly, you do not have any room where you could keep the mare safe from herself during the night. For 25 bits, you could get her room the same kind of enchantment there is on your lab, so only you can decide to let her go.

>What do?

"Listen Butterswirl." You tell her. "If you can't let go of this bag, that means it won't be safe to have you wander outside. If you're alright with that, I'd rather have you stay at home."
"What?" She whines. "That sounds horrible…"

The bat-winged mare ponders for a few seconds, looking at the bag of bits, before scoffing angrily at it. She takes a deep breath, and very slowly she puts in down, her hoof eventually letting go of the pouch on the ground.
"T-take it away!" She urges you, hiding her eyes with her hoof. "Quick! Take it away before I change my mind, mister Wizard!"

Using you magic, you swiftly take the pouch away to hide it in your lab. You got back all your bits. Butterswirl eventually opens her eyes again, and they frenetically drat around in search of the gold while she bites her lip. Still, she doesn't attempt anything else beyond that, and simply lets out a frustrated sigh as the money she was holding disappeared out of view.

The orange mare also has all the bits in the room she shared with Butterswirl removed and entrusts them to you. You'll add a magic lock to this room, and give the orange mare the control of it.
Butterswirl is kept away from seeing all this, but she still looks rather depressed right now. The crisis seems over fortunately.

"Also, I don't want to sounds greedy." Maafah whispers in your ear at this point. "But you still haven't paid the rest of us this week…"

You have 555 bits. (-200 pending for Butterswirl's room, - 25 for the lock, - 25 over the course of the week because Butterswirl still has to eat). So you have 305 bits available considering your projects.

>What do?

It's time you paid your mares with a share of what they earned. For a start, you settle for 25 bits plus 10% or what each of them made. Sandy is satisfied with the outcome as she gets 53 bits. Maafah seems a little disappointed as she comes down to 43 bits (with 5 bits from working at Oasis for a day), but you hope that'll motivate her to work harder. The orange mare seems alright with her 45 bits. You'll take care of buying what Butterswirl needs to survive yourself this week so she doesn't have to interact with money.

For a moment, you still think about deliberately giving Buttereswirl some coins to trigger some growth, hoping that it would remain active even after you dispel the dragon greed, but that's probably not gonna work this way. The size she gains with greed comes from the fumble after all, so dispelling it will sadly wipe out the few good sides of it…

After that, Maafah and the nameless mare accompany Butterswirl as she takes a walk outside to change her mind. While they're away, you have the time to install the lock on the room where Butterswirl will stay this week. The ponies you hire for renovating a room will have the job done by tomorrow night, all the orange mare will have her separate place once more.

Sandy also comes to discuss with you as your work.
"Hey Wizard. I can see you've still got trouble making ends meet, don't you?" She starts, and without waiting for you to answer: "If that can help, I know some ponies who would accept to lend money to you. You're starting to make yourself a name, so they'll consent to work with you. You could borrow up to 300 bits per week, and then have to give in back with a 10% interest next week. Really, it's a fair deal for this place."

"Now, that was one thing…" She continues "But I've also had a marvelous idea this week, which could bring us big money. A themed show, all of Klugetown will want to come! I can take care of advertising, but I'll just need 50 bits from you for the preparations, and to have Maafah and our nameless colleague participate for a day. I guarantee you'll get more that a fair return out of this."
"What kind of show are you talking about exactly?" You ask.
"Tsk tsk tsk…" Sandy smacks her tongue as she shakes her head. "That's a surprise, stud! To be honest, I also want to see how much you can trust me with this one. Tell me later if that's okay with you!"

With one last wink, the older mare leaves you on these words.

Butterswirl comes back looking a little happier from the stroll in town. It seems the looks of other ponies on her transformed body helped her remind her why she came to you in the first place. The orange mare also looks relieved about that. Even more than Maafah, you think sharing her room with Butterswirl made her care for the now bigger blue mare.
You can only hope things keep going alright…

See you next week. As always, feel free to input commands/direction/feedback of any sort. Maafah and ??? will work for Oasis for one day again. You may borrow up to 300 immediately, and then you'd need to pay it back the next week with a 10% interest. If you don't pay back, you may receive a <<friendly visit>> from some <<friendly folks in costume>>.

Right now you have : 555 bits -200 (Butterswirl's room) - 25 ( lock) - 25 –(necessities of Butterswirl ) – 15 (beauty products) – 53 (income to Sandy) – 45 (income to ???) – 43 (income to Maafah) = 144 bits left.

Another week, another potion. The days seem to fly by and last far too long at the same time as you bury yourself in work all day.

Still, you get some more news this week. Specifically, it appears two new mares are ready to offer their services to you.

Canopy Veil. (4’2’’)
As the earth pony mare approaches you, you’re quick to notice her eyes visibly do not function. The mare doesn’t hide them, and while her eerily vacant glare confirms she doesn’t navigate with sight, she seems to know exactly where she’s going as she follows you with oddly graceful steps.

As you talk with her, the mare reveals she decided to joint you after coming in contact with Butterswirl while they worked together at Oasis.
“It is not every day I hear this, wizard.” She tells you. “The powerful steps of a creature larger than an ox, only the mining machines and the cranes from the harbor usually radiate with such strength. Yet here she was. Steadfast like a proud oak tree, and yet displaying the care and kindness of a pony. I was deeply moved, wizard. I do not think this is your main objective, but certainly you won’t stop your mares to use the power you give then to make the world a better place.” 
“Therefore, I wish you’d accept to grant me that power too, wizard.” She concludes with a bow.

Asking Sandy about her, you learn they’re acquaintances, as Lunar Shroud is doing the same job as Sandy for a living. She grew in Klugetown for as far as Sandy remembers. She’s an orphan which Oasis helped in the past, and then she has been helping Oasis back whenever she could afford. She’s a bit of a hippie who believes the world will magically become nicer if you are nice yourself. That’s how Sandy describes it to you anyway…

When you ask Butterswirl, she tells you she indeed met the mare this week, and blushes when you tell her about the impression she made. Canopy Veil was preparing the food she helped deliver all around town that day, and she was really nice according to the blue mare. They talked a little, and Butterswirl naturally ended up talking about you. She didn’t mention the dragon greed part, though.

Nut Tail ‘Nails’ (3’11’’)
It’s far from being the first time you meet this mare, for the simple reason she’s the boss of the ponies who have been renovating your rooms, and the whole estate before that when you arrived in town. You never had to complain about her work. She is straight-to-the-point, and once she has her payment, you can expect the results to come quick and well done. You do not know much about her beyond that as she never told you anything personal. She’s all business when she talks with you, and that’s with that attitude she asked about signing a contract for some potions.

But while she’s interested in your magic, she wants a different kind of deal from what you offered the other mares.
“Listen, wizard.” Nails tells you “I have my own business to run and I have employees, so I can’t give you my whole income obviously. However, I would move to this place once you’ve got the bits for another room. My current place almost turned into a second workshop anyway… And I would give you 80 bits each week as a rent, and so you can give me some of your potions and… make sure things don’t go awry. Honestly, after seeing what happened to your other mares, I think this is the occasion to get an edge over the competition for me. Surely you can envision how being an 8-feet tall builder-mare could help in the works. Also, the stallions who work for me will probably stop calling me pin-head…”
“And if I’m satisfied with the results, I may buy some more potions for some of my employees later. Keep that in mind, wizard.” She gives you a mischievous wink.

Later, you ask Sandy about Nails, and she tell you she arrived in Klugetown about three years ago, where she started her construction business. From her reputation, she’s an honest worker by Klugetown standards. However, Sandy tells you Nails and her employees still ended up dirtying their hooves over some unpaid work in the past. Also, she notoriously can go very angry if something goes wrong. She doesn’t accept any kind of sloppy work from her workers. When that happens, she makes in known very loudly to everypony around.

Over the week, something happens to Butterswirl. Not something bad. In fact, she’s been doing a good job staying away from temptation last week, and enjoys working for Oasis for the time being.
However, some parts of her became more… dragon-like. Physically speaking. The outlines of a few scales started to appear on her skin, and her whole body gained a little tone, looking more powerful altogether. Especially her wings. Rather small in the past, their span gradually increased and they covered themselves in scales completely. The most noticeable part of Butterswirl to change was her tail, though. Her wavy brush of hairs made way for a thick and muscular lizard-like appendage.

Of course, Butterswirl was delighted with these changes, and you think they helped her keep her mind away from gold and jewels. Each morning, you heard her giggling like a filly in her room as she observed the gradual transformations she had undergone overnight.
Naturally, you examined the transformation with interest too, as they were obviously related to the potion you made. But you came to a rather surprising conclusion.

You believe these changes don’t come from the potion itself anymore, but are a reaction from Butterswirl’s magic to the power affecting her. That means these particular transformations will probably stay even after you wipe out the dragon greed. Of course, the pony squees in excitement as you announce her this conclusion. At that point, you seize the opportunity to try and satisfy some of your curiosity about the mare.

“You know, most ponies would be frightened by the transformation you went through.” You tell her. “But to you… how did you come to love the idea of transforming like that?”
“Well… I just like it!” Butterswirl exclaims. “I’m not sure I could explain it properly, but it just makes me happy. It’s like I get to experience a bit of a new life everytime, and I feel like I’ve got a new world to discover with new possibilities! And, well there’s also everypony’s looks. Seeing their surprise when they discover a new you, that never fails to make me smile for some reason!”

Over the weak, you also manage to get a word with the nameless mare. You ask her about… well, her name. If she's had any ideas about it.
"Eh… F-finding a name is harder that I thought." She blushes slightly in embarrassment. "I mean, I have some ideas, but nothing really good. I wouldn't want to have everypony learn another name every week..."
"If that how you feel, that's okay." You nod at the amazon. "But just out of curiosity, what would be this week's name?"

"Well… You know, I'm trying to think about a name which describes me and what I like. Just like everypony else. At first, I thought about Lithe Thread, but then I thought that wouldn't really work with how large I am. So then I started thinking about Thick Thread, but…" Her face becomes redder.
"Y-yeah." You can completely refrain a smile. "That would probably be a little hard to bear…"
The orange mare goes on her a way shortly after that.

Later, you also get to have a word with Maafah, and you tell her that once Butterswirl is cured, the next potion will be for her. Something she welcomes with a mostly content attitude.
"Glad to hear my turn is finally coming up." She nods with a smile "But I'm still a little sad we had to go through all the other mares before coming back here. Maybe another session of belly rubs with an even larger me will convince you to grow me faster next time..." She says with a seductive voice "Who knows? We might even go a little further than belly rubs..." She comes closer, and whispers in your ear… "I could give you a raspberry…"

You shiver at the thought, and after a playful giggle and a flick of her tail, the large zebra leaves you alone.

You also decide to get a word with Sandy about Butterswirl's mane. Surely she'd like to dye this… unsavory gradient. But it seems things won't be that easy.
"That's one of the first things I told her." Sandy says. "But she just doesn't like something… normal. I tried offering her colours which would go well with her coat, but she just said no to everything. I gave up without discussing more atypical styles, though. I usually don't pull out manes with several flashy colours, but if you've got an idea that's bizarre enough for Butterswirl yet better than her current style, I'm confident she'd accept to change."

This week, you pick up some strange rumors. Apparently, the princesses of Equestria were seen walking in the streets of Klugetown. A strange fact, but prying a little closer, you soon understood the reason behind this mystery.
It’s seems the theme show Sandy was thinking about consisted of disguising herself, the orange pony and Maafah as the princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence for a night of naughty fun. She struck a deal with a bartender friend of her so your mares could make their show there on Friday evening. The apparitions of the princesses around town turned out to be advertising from Sandy Rose for this show.

The make-up and fake gold ornaments were approximate, their voices all wrong, and their acting nothing like the true personalities of the rulers of Equestria. However, few ponies in Klugetown had ever seen the alicorns, merely remembering stories about their grandeur, and the fake princesses definitely had the bodies of real goddesses. And most importantly, they were her to service their one-night subjects. The idea of some ponies actually possessing the assets to pose as the princesses set the imagination of the ponies in Klugetown on fire. They filled the club way beyond his usual capacity for the whole night so they could get a chance to meet a Maafah who claimed she wished to spread love beyond the limits of Equestria, a Sandy Rose who claimed their adoration for their legitimate goddess had been lacking, and a fake Luna who would dutifully reward those who stated they preferred her over her pretend-sister.

The performance lasted way into the night, the cheers and delighted roars of ponies resonating in the streets of Klugetown.

This week, Butterswirl worked for Oasis and didn’t bring anything home. Meanwhile, Maafah, the nameless pony and Sandy respectively made 101, 109 and 80 bits on their own. Mostly because Sandy ended up taking more of everypony’s time than she told you. However, the tree mares made a killing the previous night, and brought home 589 bits from the show alone. A success which Sandy seems very proud of.
“We can probably organize another representation with that theme next week.” She states. “There won’t be as many ponies, but we should still make a good profit. The week after should be alright too. But after that, it probably won’t be worth the effort and we will need to find another idea.”

This week : 149 – 27(own expanses) + 101 (income from Maafah) + 109 (income from ???) + 80 (income frome Sandy) – 50 show preparation – 15 beauty products + 589 (Income from show) = 936 bits.

Once you're done with the accounting, you decide to immediately give the 50 bits potion to Butterswirl. She lets out a relieved sigh as the cure for her uncanny condition is finally in her hooves. She drinks it without further delay.

And then… Oh Celestia, you have to cover your eyes from this infamy. Mares are not supposed to shrink like Butterswirl is right now. That's the opposite of what should happen! Can you even be called a Growth Wizard anymore after shrinking a mare? Are you even worthy of your tittle? Should you rename yourself the Useless Wizard for failing to grow ponies?

"It's alright, mister wizard, it's over. And I'm still taller than you!" A pony pats your back with a hoof. A hoof which is awfully close to the size of an average hoof. You turn apprehensively, and meet the eyes of a 5' even pony, staring back with a comforting smile. From taller than Celestia, Butterswirl shrank back to less than half a head over your own height. Butt at least, it appears her natural reactivity to your potion allowed the blue pony to keep her enlarged backside, which is still proportionally the juiciest of your mares.
Her physical dragon assets are still here too.

What do?

"It's alright…" Your try to look at the good side of things. "That just means the next potion will grow you into a giant at once!"
"I can't wait, mister wizard!" The pony smiles back excitedly.

Other than that, you haven't decided yet whether you should hire the new mares now, or maybe invest in a better lab. Getting to know these candidates better could be a good idea now that your situation's a bit more stable.

You inform Sandy you like the idea of a second show, and announce you're raising the amount of bits you spend on beauty products. This brings them to ask you about the money you're giving them this week. Maafah and Sandy in particular seem like they expect a little extra because of how much the show made this week…
Now Butterswirl is freed from her dragon greed, she can also safely be handed gold again. 

>What do?

You end up giving 64 bits to Maafah, 65 to your nameless pony, and 70 to Sandy Rose. The zebra and the older mare look fine with that, although a tiny bit disappointed. Perhaps they hoped for something more special than 20 bits for this first success.

Meanwhile, you give Butterswirl 36 bits for the week, even though she didn't bring in anything.
"But you've got to make money yourself from now on." You tell her as you give her the bits. "You can keep helping Oasis, but you must be able to make enough bits to at least pay for your own expanses." 
"Uhm… well speaking of that…" She sounds a little embarrassed. "I expected to be a tad bigger to find some work. But here I'm just… well, above average. What kind of work do you think I could do?"

936 bits - 65 (income to ???) -64 (income to Maafah) - 70 (income to Sandy Rose) - 36 (income to Butterswirl) = 701 bits

>What do?

"Why don't you try helping the other mares with their work then?" You offer. "You're enthusiastic, and you certainly have the body to advertise the other mares. I'm sure Sandy could tell you what to say to bring in more patrons."
The mare smiles back. She seems happy you're not forcing her into what you originally agreed with her.
"I'll do my best!" She nods "Thanks mister wizard!"

Not gonna lie, my mind's not really into cyoa-ing right now. Why don't we save up the interaction for next week? With bigger mares?

See you there. As always, feel free to input commands/direction/feedback of any sort.




By a warm summer afternoon, you find yourself lying on a soft plain of grey fur, rising and falling gently at the rhythm of a giant mare’s breathing. You idly watch the sky, simply appreciating the moment. Birds are singing, and the sky is a seemingly endless space of blue above you.

You notice one of the birds doing the chirping at some point. A dove.
The white bird traces circles in the sky, before landing on your hoof as you beckon to it. The giggle of a massive Maafah starts to resonate behind you in reaction. You put down the bird on the vast expense of fur, but immediately it sinks into the grey and start to panic as it sticks to its wings like cobwebs. Startled, you attempt to shit on your side, but you realize the fur sticks to your own body, and you feel yourself sinking into what now feels like an icky spider nest. You start to thrash in panic, the giggle of Maafah only growing louder as the cobwebs engulf you.

You wake up with a jolt, kicking against your bedsheets that have wrapped themselves around your limbs. Your breath is shallow and your mind still fuzzy after coming out of the vivid nightmare, so it takes you a couple of seconds to calm yourself completely.
There, you hear the sound of a bird flying away in the night behind the windows, and everything becomes silent again. A little confused, you go back to sleep after drinking some water.

Over the week, Butterswirl made a few more interesting discoveries about her body. After a hearty meal, the mare discovered she was still able to breathe small bursts of fire. That also led her to realize fire can’t harm her anymore, and ever holding red embers doesn’t make her feel anything beyond a pleasant warmth.

While you were creating your potion this week, some part of your mind couldn’t help but to think about some names for your orange mare. Something about her love for dressmaking and size... Stitch… Seam…Bastet… You think your personal favorite is Thread Lightly. You’re not exactly sure how you should bring up your idea to the orange mare, though. 
Perhaps you could tell her about it on the next day off.

Your employees decided to go work for Oasis on the same day this week again, Sandy still not joining them. It appears to be her loss, though, as the other mares come back with a smile on their faces. They prepare dinner together after that, and you overhear them chatting from your lab.

“A real shame you ended up shrinking down.” You hear Maafah probably telling Butterswirl at some point. “Aren’t you a little sad about coming back down to 5’ after how huge you were? I mean, that dragon curse didn’t seem so bad in comparison. Especially since you could have used it to grow more…”
“Actually, shrinking is fun too!” The blue mare replies with enthusiasm. “I can’t wait for mister wizard to be able to make super big potions. We’ll be able to have lots of fun being super big, then small, then big again! I wanna try playing hide-and-seek in some giant mare’s mane, and holding her in my hoof the next day! Doesn’t that sound more fun than just being a big old mean dragon?”

“Oh, being the drake just sounds more appealing to me. There’s just so much more you can do when you’re big enough. I’ll be honest. I think I wouldn’t have resisted the opportunity to become a massive dragon if I had the potion last week.”
“Come on, Maafah.” Butterswirl says. “Have you seen how nuts I was going over gold? I think I could have ended up doing really bad things if I began to hoard stuff for real. And I’m pretty sure Mister Wizard wouldn’t want to give you potions anymore if you started going crazy.”
Maafah chuckles in response.
“Think about that, though.” She starts. “Only a few coins and you were already visibly bigger back then. If I were you, I would probably have tried getting a bunch of gold. Like robbing a shop. After that, I’d have been big enough to take the gold of a whole bank! And after that… well, I believe I wouldn’t need help from Growth Wizard to take cake of growing further anymore…”

A strange silence follows the story of the zebra, which forces Maafah to temper her words.
“Relax, girls!” She exclaims. “I’m just kidding! Geez, for a bunch of growing gals, you’re not very open-minded about thinking big!”
The mares exchange a tense chuckle. Perhaps seeing Butterswirl lose her mind scared some of your mares a bit too much to take it as a joking matter. They chat a little more about their day after that, and the awkward moment seems forgotten when they all go up to their rooms.

Another evening, on the way back from a bathroom break, you surprise a conversation between Sandy and the orange pony. It seems the two of them are enjoying a break together in the common room. They aren’t aware of your presence and you can’t resist eavesdropping on their conversation. 

“Oh, don’t be so sure about that.” You hear Sandy. “He sure loves cuddles, that’s a fact, but if one of us decided to take charge and go further than petting, I doubt he would resist for very long. I don’t even mean that in a bad way. There’s a bunch of ponies like that, mares and colts, who sound reluctant about going all the way through at first, yet nothing gets their rocks off like being forced out of their comfort zone.”
“Huh…” The orange mare doesn’t sound convinced. “I don’t know… I mean, Wizard did tell you he didn’t want to get too intimate with us, right?”

“Yep. My guess is that he feels like he might lose control of his business down that path. But what do you think would happen if you took him to your room a told him you wanted to have your way with him?”
“WHAT!” The mare exclaims, and then her voice shrinks to an alarmed whisper. “What are you talking about? And why would I do that! He would just think I want to take advantage of him, like he thought about Maafah!”
“HA! Sorry, but you’re not fooling anypony, honey. You couldn’t take advantage of anypony even if you had the occasion. That’s just not your style. We all know that here.”

Sandy marks a pause to drink something, before continuing.
“And don’t sell yourself short, honey. I think the wizard has something for you. I mean, obviously he’s got something for each of us, growth wizard and all… but I think there’s a little something he likes more about you. I mean, have you seen how he wears your hat all the time? Come on, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t mind you being a little more than a simple employee to him.”

The room falls silent after that. Your hear somepony finishing their drink, and then hurriedly trotting out of the room. Sandy follows shortly after, chuckling slightly to herself.

On another note, somepony finally decided to use your mailbox. Among the four letters you found one day, one is addressed to you. They all seemingly come from Oasis. After distributing the mail to everypony, you open your own envelope.

“Dear Growth wizard.” You read the hoof-written text. “We thank you for allowing your employees to work with us. From what we understand, you compensate them for their time helping us, and thus you’re participating making Klugetown a better place.”
“Therefore, we would like to invite you to our bi-monthly assembly. This is a time when we share and plan our actions in order to make sure Oasis will focus its efforts on the most important matters. All those who participate in our actions can come and offer their own insight or ideas about what the actions of Oasis should be in the future. The assembly will take place on Saturday evening, in three weeks.”

“We would be grateful if our new volunteers and their boss would accept to come.”

“Yours sincerely, Bleeding Heart, first delegate of Oasis.”

Eventually, it’s that day of the week again.
Over the last few days, you bought all the necessary stuff to allow your lab to produce more potions at once. Now that you’ve got your 200 bits potion in hoof, you can finally switch the last pieces for the new ones, and you’re now a happy wizard with a grade A lab. It smells like freshly unwrapped science and make you eager to get brewing again.

The second representation of Sandy’s show wasn’t as huge of a success as last time, but it still was a very productive evening. While the crowd was still here to admire then, ponies were a lot less frenetic about seeing life-size princesses after the first time, and spent their money a bit more responsibly. The show made 438 bits that night.

However, it seems your mares all gained a bit of a reputation. And with the additional advertising from Butterswirl, they now face a lot more demand from the folks of Klugetown, and are more often hired for private parties and other more profitable events. Your mares raised their prices accordingly on Sandy’s advice. Individually, Maafah made 280 bits, the orange mare 302, and Sandy raked in 416 bits. 

701 bits – 500 bits (lab upgrade) – 200 bits (potion) + 438 (income from show) + (280 income from Maafah ) + 302 (income from ???) + 416 (income from Sandy) – 27 (own expanses) – 30 (make-up) – 30 (show preparations) = 1350 bits

You can’t help but to think to yourself that’s quite a lot of money for a single week… and you don’t think it’s going to decrease significantly in the near future. Somehow, the hope you’re starting to make it out of the money-tight zone is taking root in your mind. Perhaps you could start thinking about other projects to invest into to further increase your income, make you potion making easier, or simply spoil your lovely employees. You don’t have to do it all right now, though. Having some spare treasury can always come in handy.

>What do?

You first decide get the wages of your mares out of the way. You apply the same rates as last week, making it 67 bits for Maafah, 69 for the orange mare 81 for Sandy. Butterswirl gets 36 bits again, and doesn't seem to mind it for now.
1350 bits – 67 bits (Maafah wages) – 69 (??? Wages ) – 81 ( Sandy wages ) - 36 ( Butterswirl wages) = 1097 bits

Then, it's time you gave a potion to Maafah, which she accepts with a triumphant grin.
"Hold on there, Wizard." She scoops you with a hoof, pressing you against her chest as she's sitting on the ground. "I think this is the perfect time for a hug." She declares with a mischievous grin, and chugs down the potion.

And soon you feel it. You had a glimpse of what grows felt like with Sandy, but this is something of another magnitude. The zebra swells fast around you, her fur shifting higher while her leg along becomes as thick as your neck. You sink further in the mare's healthy layer of pudge as her growth brings more of you at belly level, your eyes soon buried in the grey. You're left with your other senses, feeling more and more mare flesh being added against you, her body pulsing bigger and bigger.

Maafah releases you once the growth is over, looming over you.
"Oh, this is even better than first time…" she coos, standing at an amazing 8'9'', bigger than any natural pony in the known world. "But this is when… OOOH!"
As she moans loudly, Maafah shoots up with another feet and a half to 10'3''. She's only a couple of feet away from the ceiling at this point.

"Now THIS is what size should feel like…" She says, panting slightly. "I'm sure you'd love to help me get a little relief, Wizard, but I have something I need to take care of now I stand at an adequate height."
The zebra gives you a wink before heading outside.

You planned to take your employees out for something fancy, but it seems like you'll have to wait for Maafah to return. You didn't get a chance to tell her before she left.

In the meantime, you first analyse the results from your potion. You can't refrain a smile as it seems you uncovered a rather volatile effect which will strengthen the entropic properties of your future potions. In short, the next potions will have one additional random effect for a total of three for the average mares, and four in the case of Butterswirl. You also recorded three other effects for this week. First, the growth range on your potion increased further, and you think you've once again hit the effect which increased the confidence of the drinker. And finally, you've struck an increase in backside again. As you noticed before, Maafah has dethroned Butterswirl for the tittle of the biggest rump in the house, even proportionally speaking. And in absolute size, she's simply massive. A whole adult stallion would comfortably fit in each of the zebra's cheeks in terms of volume.

Now, you're starting to have big plans for the future. Bigger than Klugetown, actually. The town is not yet saturated by your business, but that'll happen eventually. You better be ready by then. First, you think you'll send Butterswirl advertising beyond the limits of town. Her dragon fortitude will surely help her withstand the long trips.
You'll need fliers. You reckon something between 20 and 100 bits would get you the necessary photos and imagery for some pamphlets, depending of what level of quality you desire.

And beyond that, you also think about investing into the merchants which bring the magic ingredients to you. That way you'll be able to have cheaper prices for your potions as they grow more expensive. You'll need another week to find reliable contacts and get an estimate of the needed investment, though.

Meeting the heads of Oasis is also a good idea to you. You hope there will be other benevolent ponies who might help you in business.

You also think about the ponies who applicated for your job. While you definitely want to spread bigness to as many mares as possible, having too many of them in your business might not be the best way to go about it. Now you have this brand-new lab, perhaps there's another deal you can offer these mares.

You come back to reality after being lost in your thoughts for a while.
Butterswirl, Sandy Rose and the orange mare climbed back to their respective rooms at this point.

>What do?

First, you decide to go inform Sandy Rose about you plans to advertise her and her colleagues beyond Klugetown. She seems decently enthusiast about it. Although with some reserves.
"Klugetown is a bit of a nasty hole, though." She says. "There's the trade over the Sea of Clouds and with some nomad tribe from the deserts, but not much more. Ponies aren't especially nice to strangers here either, and the mundane activities are held in very private places. Sure, we can get some more ponies to come, but we're probably limited to those who are already deviant enough to consider coming to that place."

After that, she tells you she knows somepony who could take care of the visuals for the flyers, and that 100 bits will do nicely for it.

You then leave Sandy. At that point, you can't help but to feel curious about what Maafah meant before she went out. Even though you didn't see where she headed to, you decide to go searching for her.
And you end up being lucky. You manage to find the zebra in the streets without her noticing you. Her being 8'9'' helped you a little.

What Maafah had to take care of included some shopping it seems. You see her coming out of a particular shop. The Sand Cauldron, the place where you buy your ingredients each week for your potions.
The zebra has a small bag on her side and produces a small piece of paper from there. With a pencil, she writes something quickly, but has a rather unsatisfied look on her face.

As the zebra walks away in the streets, you keep following her for a while. She goes through a number of stalls where she examines different powders and alchemic-related stuff, most of which you're not familiar with. As this goes on for more than a dozen minutes, you decide this is probably all you'll learn, and return home.

There, you decide to have a word with the orange mare.
"Hey." You tell her as she opens the door of her room. "I just wanted to tell you, I've been trying to think of a way to help you finding a name you like. If that's alright with you, can I tell you about some names I've been thinking about for you?"
She looks quizzical for a second, but eventually answers you with a hearty nod.

"Of course." She answers. "I want to hear them. Maybe you've been more inspired than I was."
"Sure. Alright, let's start. What about… Overstitch."
"Hum…" She ponders, but it doesn't look she feels particularly excited about this name.

"Seam Finish?" You continue.
"I'm not sure…"

"Pique Yardage?"
"Hum, not this one." She shakes her head.

"Princess Seam?"
"Well, I don't think I'd like ponies always calling me princess…" She blushes slightly.

"Bastet?"
"Isn't it… pretentious to take that name?" She pouts.

"Thread Lightly?"
"Thread Lightly?" She perks up. "Hum… Can you… call me Thread Lightly? To hear how it feels?"

"Off course Thread Lightly." You repeat.
The mare tilts her head to the side. "…Again?" She asks.
"As many time as you wish, Thread Lightly."

You're not exactly sure how she feels about that name, but it definitely sticks more than the other ones.
"Can you… use that name in a sentence? Or a description maybe?" She asks you.

>What do?

"I've known Thread Lightly since she got her freedom and decided to start a life in Kludgetown. She melts my heart and makes me proud to call her a friend." You declare "Thread Lightly is a lovely, kind mare, who I have greatly enjoyed watching grow into a larger, more confident pony."

The orange mare lets out a delighted sigh at your words, and stares in your eyes with an elated smile.
And then, without warning, she closes her eyes and leans forward to plant a kiss on your lips.

You feel your heart do a flip in your chest as her mouth comes in contact with yours, and that you feel her hot breath over your snout. The move is as chaste as a kiss can be, only your lips pressing against each other and the most delicate sound of smooching.

After a few seconds though, she opens her eyes and swiftly retreats by a few steps, looking like she just woke up on herself kissing you. 
"Th-thanks, M… I mean, Wizard…" Thread Lightly looks away shyly, her face completely red. "I think… I'm gonna try using this name from now on, I think…"

>What do?

"That's a good name for a beautiful mare." You state.
"Th-thanks…" Thread Lightly answers with a grin, still looking embarrassed from her earlier boldness. She clumsily goes back inside her room and closes the door.

Only a few seconds later, you start to hear noise downstairs. It sounds like Maafah has returned. 

>What do?

You catch the massive mare as she climbs up the stairs. A seductive grin blooms on her face as she notices you.
"Hey there, Wizard." She says. "Have you been waiting for me? What's the matter? Do you want a hug from the bigger me?"
"I'm not gonna say no…" You feel your skin tingle at the thought of cuddles with the giantess of a mare standing in front of you. "But just wanted to ask you a few questions before that. You know, to see if everything is alright."

In response, the mare climbs the last steps, and brushes her cheek against the side of your face. 
"How about we do both at the same time?" She whispers in your ear.

A few seconds later, you're both in the zebra's room. She lies on her back, while you rest on her chest and belly, staring at the ceiling while she holds you with her massive hooves. You're about filly size regarding the mare, and there's an incredibly intimate yet innocent feeling about resting on her body like that.

"So… How do you feel about your new size?" You ask her before you fall asleep again.
"Mmmmh, you have no idea wizard." She coos. "It's even better than I imagined. I feel… I feel like a goddess already. Give me your hoof."
You raise you leg, and Maafah places her own hoof against yours. The difference in size is baffling. The area covered by your own hoof only matches the frog of the zebra. The rest of her hoof would be able to cover your whole face, or rub the entirety of your belly at once. Something the other leg of the mare is gently doing actually.

"See? Compared to most ponies like you, I'm just so much more…" She hesitates. "I mean, they all look like foals to me. It feels like I'm the only adult is a world of kids. And I have a growing need to snuggle them all like my own children."
That's… probably a good thing? Maybe a bit much, though.

"Also, I see you went to do some errand." You turn toward the bag of supplies the zebra left near the door "Did everything go well?"
"I'm good, I found everything I wanted." She marks a pause, and then "Actually, I think I can tell you. I think it's time I stated helping you wizard. Now I am this big, the Spirits will be keener on lending me their blessing with the adequate ritual. In time, you may see the results. I'm sure you'll love them… But I still need to figure a couple of things out before that."

>What do?

"Won't you tell me more about it?" You ask Maafah.
"I told you I needed to figure a couple of things first." She answers. "The first things on my list are the divination rituals I'll perform this week. What I bought today will be used to create the special incense and paint I need."
"Hum… Okay…"

Right now you see no problem with the zebra's project. It's nice to hear she can speak to you about it, and you let yourself getting pet a little more. Although… you don't fall asleep this time. Somehow the memory of the nightmare you had the other day prevents you from relaxing completely while you're on the mare's body.

Before you can chase the bad feeling away, the tummy you're lying on produces a faint gurgle. You declare it's time you treated everypony out instead. You wanted something fancy, but your mares state they'd rather go to an all-you-can eat buffet. Sandy brings you all to one of the few places which hasn't made a special rule for exceptionally big folks yet, and you all end stuffing yourselves for 50 bits.

The rest of the days is spent lazing around for everypony.

And that's it for this week. Right now, you have 1047 bits left. This week, you're gonna spend 100 bits on flyers, as well as 57 in expanses and make up. Butterswirl will try to deliver the fliers to ponies in nearby settlements and to nomadic tribes. The flyers advertise travelling to Klugetown while putting the spotlight on your fair ladies. You can choose something more specific if you wish. This week, you'll also prospect for potential investment you count make to get cheaper ingredients. You haven't decided what potions you'd make this week yet. 
As always, feel free to input commands/direction/feedback of any sort. 

See you next week.







You’re starting to feel like a real business owner this week.

First, you have a thorough talk with the owner of the Sand Cauldron about what sort of deal you could strike with him through investing in his business for cheaper potion ingredients. The pony looks a little reluctant about you getting a share of his business, but still end up offering you something around the end of this week.

He tells you he buys his ingredients from traders from the desert and over the sea of clouds. Some of these even come from Equestria. To increase his margin, the pony was thinking about hiring his own small team of collectors to fetch some magical products directly. For such a system to be profitable, though, they’re going to need their own airship to travel fast across the land.

The kind of ship the shop owner has in mind for this task would cost 3000 bits. If you’re able to invest that much, the shop-owner tells you you may have up to 1000 bits of free ingredients each week, at the condition you pay a flat 200 bits weekly for the crew, fuel and upkeep of the ship. That would mean a maximum 800 weekly profit for you

At that point, you think you might as well hire the crew yourself, but then you realize you have little idea about how the shop-owner intends to find his ingredients. He probably has some contacts he can trust, and while you may attempt to hire a crew yourself for the same prices, you’re not sure how well the crew would do under your direction.

You also think about hiring an assistant to help you in your work. Since making the potion itself requires special growth wizard magic, nopony can significantly help you with the brewing itself. However, there’s some subjects where the point of view of another wizard could help you figure out ideas to improve about your process, or do some other kinds of research. Hiring such a pony will probably need to offer a salary in a range between 50 and 200 bits weekly.

And speaking of hiring…
The chocolate mare runs her hoof along the furniture, and then the bed of her new room, displaying a satisfied smile. Her disability doesn’t look like it poses any problem to her at all.
“This is a good room.” Canopy Veil smiles in your direction, even if her eyes seem to look in the air between the two of you. “I think I’ll like in here. I’m glad we met each other, Wizard. In time, maybe our goals will become one and the same.”
“Now, why don’t you introduce me to my colleagues?”
You gladly accept and accompany the mare downstares.

Yet, there’s another investment you need to make right now. For 100 bits, you get an important number of pamphlets for Butterswirl to distribute over the land. They all look neat and colorful, displaying your group of talented mares with you in the middle for height reference, as well as a focus on each or your three biggest girls in different flyers, to encourage the reader to come and meet this larger-than-life mare in the flesh. You also make sure to emphasize the public hugging policy you're about to instill.

The dragon pony comes back exhausted from delivering them every night this week, but she looks very pleased with herself and the work she’s doing. The reactions of ponies seeing a dragon hybrid coming out of nowhere to tell them about giant cuddly mares must really help fuel her enthusiasm. She reached many tribes from the desert this week, and over two days she even made it to Somnambula.
“It was a little weird over there.” Butterswirl tells you “Some ponies looked like they REALLY didn’t like the idea of very large mares, but a few seemed to absolutely love it. And somewhat, they all had an opinion about giant ponies.
The blue ponies goes to sleep after you tell her Somnambula has a bit of a history with giant females, which may be the origin of this attitude among its folks…

Thread Lightly casually started introducing her new name to her colleagues this week. They all looked happy she found a patronym she liked. And in turn, Thread Lightly seems delighted to hear them calling her with this name of her.
She didn’t give you any comment about the note you left her last week where you wrote her how much of a good kisser you thought she was. In fact, she seems just a bit more distant with you this week. You’re always the one who has to come for a morning hug, and she feels somewhat uncomfortable being in contact with you, coming up with excuses to leave shortly after.

On another note, you can’t help but to feel a little worried about Maafah. The zebra changed her manners, but is it a genuine change or a mere pretend game? You’re not sure about anything…
Still, you decide you have to keep pushing her down the path of gentle cuddling. You have a word with her one evening, and there you tell her about your idea of public groups hugs. She sounds a little skeptical, though.

“I know you’re a cuddle-colt, Wizard.” The zebra chuckles. “But I’m not sure that’s the case for the rest of Klugetown. They’re more into… eh, rather nasty things. And I don’t think hugs are one of them.”
“I say you should still try.” You state confidently. “Don’t underestimate how awesome getting snuggled by a giant and gentle mare feels like, Maafah. I’m sure ponies will love that, and even pay for it. Trust me, you’ll get surprised at how nice people can get after you take them in a lovely massive embrace.”

“Well. Alright.” She nods after pondering about your words for a few seconds. “I can try and see how it goes. But before that, I need to polish my skills a little.”
And before you can react, you’re smothered again the mare’s bountiful chest and belly. You don’t spend the next night in your own room…

You end up waking up later that the zebra the next day, and there you seized the occasion to get a quick look at what kind of supplies she bought.
Most of the ingredients are still at the state of powders or dried plants. You can only recognize half of these, and you can’t really draw any conclusion from what you see. There’s nothing significantly ‘evil’ or ‘good’ in there. It’s mostly generic stuff, which could believably be used for incenses and divination.

Something does catch you eye as unusual, though. A bottle containing a bright blue liquid, which is alchemic dye, as it reads on the label. You know about these kinds of dyes. They serve only as a neutral cosmetic, as they react with almost nothing. They were used mostly to quickly identify potions for wizards as a lot of mixtures actually end up looking the same. However, these dyes became really popular among merchants as they realized the average pony was a lot more likely to buy a cheery-red potion of health than a flask looking like it was filled with mud.

Still, the presence of blue dye here is a mystery to you, as Maafah didn’t mention anything about trying to sell anything to somepony else. You exit her room after that.

Later that week, you once again wake up in a strange state. You don’t think you had any nightmare, but something feels… wrong. You can’t clearly put your hoof on it, but it’s like the air has a foul aftertaste to it, and the whole place seems bloated in an unnatural silence.
As you decide to head for the bathroom to wash away the bad feeling, you come across Maafah just as she comes out of it.

The zebra looks much more troubled than you are, her powerful legs shaking like the ones of a scared filly. She’s panting slightly, and her eyes and ears twitch as though she just saw something really scary.
After remaining petrified at your sight for a few seconds, she does manage to muster a tense smile to show you.
“Good night, wizard…” She whisper quietly before climbing back to her room as silently as her huge body allows her.

However, the next morning, she acts as though nothing special happened. She claims that something she ate made her sick, and that she was embarrassed seeing you just after she threw up the content of her stomach. You’ve got trouble imagining what kind of food could hurt somepony so large, and without any symptom before or after at all… But whatever bad omen you felt during the night also completely disappeared, to the point it feels like it might all have been in your imagination. None of your other workers seem to have any memory of that either, and they slept quietly through the night. 
With the exception of Canopy Veil though. The mare tell you she had a difficult night, and her slumber was plagued with bad dreams. “And when I woke up.” She tells you. “It felt like the bogeyhorses from my fillyhood were all here once again, lurking in the silence of the night. I have no idea why this happened… Maybe I still have trouble adjusting to my new home.”

Eventually, it’s that day of the week again.
This week was rather calm for your mares, and none of them have anything out of the ordinary to report.
Thread Lightly brought back 297 bits, Sandy Rose 413, Canopy Veil 68 bits, and you get 487 bits from Maafah. Her enhanced size, confidence and booty helped her a lot to get an increase in business. 52 bits only came from public cuddling, despite Maafah coming the equivalent of one day of work to that. Maybe it needs a little time to get in the moors. Butterswirl’s advertising hasn’t brought any visible result yet, you think.

With your new, improved lab, you produced 3 potions. One for 250 bits, and two for 200 bits. You wished you could advance faster in your researches making several potions a week, but you need to witness the effects of a potion before making the next one.

The assembly with Oasis is in two weeks. Sandy didn't work for Oasis this week, while Canopy Veil spent 3 days there. The other mares worked one day each.

1047 bits – 27 bits (expanses ) – 30 bits (beauty products) – 100 bits (flyers) – 250 bits (potion mk5) – 400 bits (potion mk4 *2) – 200 bits (Canopy Veil's room) + 297 (income from Thread Lightly) + 413  (Sandy Rose) + 487 bits (Maafah) + 68 bits (Canopy Veil) = 1305 bits.


>What do? 

There are many things on your mind, some of which may need to wait for next week.
For example, you suspect your place may have become much more temping for scoundrels of all sort to attempt to rob. With that and the possibly demonic forces at work, hiring an assistant to buff your security sounds like a good idea.

You also need to ask Sandy if she has other plans for shows and her opinion about public cuddling. The mare can probably give you valuable business advice. Renovating the commons could also be a nice thing to do for everypony.

Back to the present, you first get the wages out of the way. It'll be 60 for Thread Lightly, 61 for Sandy Rose, 79 for Maafah, 47 for Canopy Veil, and 50 for Butterswirl. The amount of wages you distribute has reached some sort of smooth sailing, so none of the mares displays much emotion beyond some satisfaction as you hand over the pay.

And next, it's time you put your potions to good use. But you'd like to appreciate the results of this one a little more privately.

"Is it alright if I drink it now?" Thread Lightly asks, now sitting in the middle of her room.
"Hold on…" You say, and stand on you hind legs to lock your arms around the mare's neck, nesting your head right in the trough of her chin.
"Here, you can go now."
"Hum… Alright Wizard." You hear her heart go slightly faster. "Here I go."
And there, she slowly empties the bottle in her gullet.

The liquid goes down in waves through her neck. And even before the last of them has reached her belly, you can feel the magic getting to work.
You start to feel another kind of waves, more powerful, as Thread Lightly grows larger at the rhythm of the gulps of potion reaching her core. You have to reach more and more to keep your arms on the mare, even if you can hold less and less of the circumference of her neck. 
You can hear the wooden floor protest slightly as the mare puts on more weight. Especially her rear, as even from your position, you can see her hips widen as her whole behind goes from a rather petite build to a pleasant plumpness. And at the size of 9'9'' she finally reaches, that stands for a truly bountiful butt already, even if Maafah may still have a slight advantage right now…

And then Thread Lightly lets out a muffled moan as a final jolt of growth hits her, and she has to catch your own behind with a hoof so your don't fall as she shoots up another feet and a half in an instant.
She now stands at an amazing 11'6'', so large she could look down at a manticore. She's at the door of sizes ponies use to describe mighty giants in legends.

Painting slightly, she looks down at you with an awkward smile, but remains silent.

>What do?
 
"I like you, Thread Lightly…" You whisper in a trance, and place a little push on the mare's snoot, making her eyes twitch in reaction.

You don't know where to start after that. Rubbing her belly, kissing her lips, getting naughty over her ass… 
She's just so magnificent… 
Letting go of her neck, you start with the closest wonder, and get to hug the abdomen of the mare. She is so smooth, so warm, and yet she shivers slightly as you gently start to massage her tummy.

You feel Thread Lightly start to shrink under your hooves. Unfortunate, but there's still more than enough of her for you to enjoy. Yet somehow, she seems petrified as you keep snuggling against her. And she even slightly shifts away as you press your body against hers.

Starting to worry, you crane up your head to meet her eyes, and there you see Thread Lightly look weird. Distraught even, as her plate sized eyes look back at you in a mix of sadness and confusion.
Your dreamy smile fades out of your own face, as you're completely taken by surprise by her reaction. You've been having that kind of contact with her for some weeks already, and she would always enjoy it, snuggling back against you. It's the first time she is so… uncomfortable about it.

Eventually, Thread Lightly looks away.
"Hum… Sorry, wizard. I… I don't feel really good all of a sudden." She gently pushes you away. "I think I need some fresh air."
And on these words, and before you can stop her, she rushes out of her room and presumably goes outside.

>What do?

Sadly, you don't think there's much you can do about Thread Lightly besides letting her the space she wants. You can only hope she'll be willing to talk about it when she returns…

Maafah better not have been putting some nasty shit in your potions to sabotage the other mares! Even though you have no idea how she'd have done that… You always made sure your lab was only accessible to you since you placed the magic lock.
For a second, you think about maybe easing your frustration with Maafah or Butterswirl. You're almost sure the zebra would gladly accept doing naughty things with you… But maybe it's not the best moment.

You still have two potions by the way. Maybe you could use one or two right now, before Thread Lightly returns.

>What do?

You doubt Sandy will be jealous if you skip her turn. While she surely ended up appreciating the additional size, the older mare doesn't look like she craves for another potion right now.

Meanwhile, Butterswirl…

"Oooooh! I didn't realise you made several!" You see sparkles in her eyes as she stares at the potion you just gave her. "Then don't mind if I become a big dragon again!"
Without waiting any longer, the blue mare gluttonously gulps down the content of the vial.

Almost immediately, her whole body starts to grow. You feel a certain sense of pride as two mares have grown bigger this week, and that Butterswirl in finally freed from the curse of being small you had to inflict on her two weeks ago. The mare dances on her hooves excitedly as she keeps getting bigger and bigger, so you get an eyeful of her massive rump, whose cheeks jiggle enticingly as they swell to become the biggest in the house once more. Butterswirl gained a little tone since she gained her dragon asset, but her ass still looks like two mountains of jelly as they spins to inspect herself.
The growth stops when the top of your head only reaches the base of Butterswirl's neck anymore. She stands at a proud 9'3'' at that point. The mare natural reactivity brought her only half a foot shorter than Thread Lightly.

And there Butterswirl gasps as the last spurt propels her to 11' even. She grins at you, and immediately takes you in a bone crushing embrace, snuggling you against her face and neck.

"It's awesome!" She squees "I'm feeling tingly all over, and I'm even bigger than last time! Thank you, mister Wizard! Of all the wizards I know, you're the best wizard, mister Wizard!"

>What do?

“B-Butterswirl!” You manage to mutter with your last bit of air “I can’t…”
“Oh! Sorry mister wizard!” She quickly places you on the ground again. You’re almost sure the mare didn't have the time to break anything.
Almost sure…

“Heheh…” She giggles awkwardly. “I guess I don’t know my strength yet…”
“It’s alright.” You repress a painful wince as the blood flows in your whole body again. “But there’s something I need to ask you. I… I think I just made Thread Lightly upset, and I’m not really sure why. You spent some time with her when you arrived, Butterswirl, when you shared her room. Can you tell me anything about her that could help?”

“Oh, yeah, she did look a little… off when she passed here.” Butterswirl’s smile and body shrink as she starts to ponder. “I was a little surprised too. She’s always so… docile.”
The huge pony frowns at you at this point. “You didn’t do anything wrong to her, did you?”
“I don’t think so… We were just cuddling, but this time it looked like she really didn’t like it.”

“Mmmmh… Yeah. You’ve been cuddling her almost every day, so what could be different? Maybe… she’s afraid of hurting you now she’s so big? Or maybe it’s something else… But I don’t know if we could get it out of her. She always wants to take everything on herself. I mean, when we shared her room, one morning I found her sleeping on the floor because I shifted to close to her in my sleep! She said she didn’t want to wake me up because it wasn’t my fault, and she kept smiling at and saying she didn’t mind. I didn’t really know how to react at the time…”

“By any chance, did you learn something about her past?" You ask "When she was…”
At that point, you realize it might not be a smart move to continue your question, in the eventuality Thread Lightly didn’t mention her past condition to Butterswirl. However, the huge blue pony seems to understand what you mean.

“Well, yeah." She nods "I was curious, so I ended up asking her a few questions. She told me she wasn’t sad when she worked for her master, and that she liked him, sort of. But at the same time… She couldn’t tell me what she liked back then beyond a few sparse moments. Things were really getting uncomfortable, so I changed subject at that point...”
"Mmh…" You nod "Thanks for telling me, Butterswirl."

At this point, you decide to glance over the reading you got from your mares. The device you use to detect the effect of the potions woks like some sort of oversized camera. You only need for an enlarged mare to stand in front of the lens for a second to get the information. You couldn't get the readings about Thread Lightly, but it looks like everything went smoothly with Butterswirl. She had the same effect as Maafah, but with an additional bit of growth from her natural reactivity to magic. The growth range was rolled once more but not the nature of the effects.

"So that willy thing you use… It records our growth or something?" Butterswirl says as she glances over your shoulder. You never hid your device, but nopony else gave it any attention until now.
"Uhm." You nod. "It's something I created. It traces a little more than growth, but that's the basic idea."

"Say, Butterswirl" You decide to ask her at this point. "Why did you leave Equestria?"
It's a little sudden, and the huge pony stares back quizzically for a few seconds before she answers.
“It was a hard decision. My friends and family tried to talk me out of this actually.” She sounds slightly nostalgic as she says that. “And I knew I was getting into something dangerous. I knew the folks out of Equestria were not going to be so kind… even if I hoped they would. But I decided this is what I wanted. Back in Manehattan, I was just a janitor in some call-center. I had a place and a stable income, but I was just gonna die of boredom there!”

“I wanted something different. I wanted to become different! Not just some boring mare in her boring life… I didn’t even know what I was getting myself into at the time…”
There, she shows you a bright grin.
“But right now, I'm glad I ended up with all of you!”

>What do?

"It must be fate that the most average stallion in the world and the most unique mare should meet in a place so far from home." You declare.
"Hmm? What now?" Butterswirl cocks an eyebrow and shows you a sly smile. She seems to think you're joking. "Are you telling me the average stallion hires mare to make them into giants? Geez… Colt are weirder than I thought!"

The mare hugs you one more time, this time much more gently as she simply presses her cheek against yours, before walking away. At that moment, you have full view of her bountiful behind.
You're really doing Celestia's work. The two bubbles of blue dough sprinkled with purple freckles jiggle slightly with each step the mare takes. For a second, you think about just dropping all this sentimental nonsense so you can get yourself face-deep in amazonian ass. Maybe you'd end up dying, but that would be a good death.
Instead, you pull out a single gold coin, and throw it on the huge blue ass in front of you.

The bit flies in the air, and lands flat on the supple flesh of her butt. Butterswirl lets out a small 'eep!' as the cold metal makes a depression in her round plot, like a colt jumping on a bouncy castle. The coin is ejected in a similar manner from the pony's behind, leaving a small ripple of plump in its trail. Butterswirl gives a surprised look to the bit as it finally lands on the floor between you and her.

"Silly wizard!" She giggles as she picks up the coin. "Are you trying to make me grow with bits again? Sorry, that won't work anymore!"
The mare gives you the bit again and walks back to her room, and under her breath, you hear her mutter. "Maybe I should work out more, though…"
And after giving one last eyeful to this jiggly butt, you decide to turn to Canopy Veil to give her the third potion you made this week.

"So it is my time?" The mare says as you give her the bottle "Very well. I'm ready."
She takes the potion and drinks it without ceremony.

The chocolate mare starts to hum as her body begins to grow. She remains completely still, except for one hoof she uses to tap the floor repeatedly, the hits growing slightly louder each time as the inches pile on the mare. She passes your height, then grows larger than Sandy Rose, all while her behind proportionally increases in girth too. She soon reaches the height of 8 feet and 3 inches.

For the next part, Canopy Veil only lets out a pleasured sigh as the final wave of growth hits her while her face is illuminated with a blush as she reaches 9'6''.

"This is one particular feeling, wizard." Canopy Veil declares as she stands up. 
But as she does, her tail swings and knocks a glass of water which has been left on the table. The glass falls and shatters loudly on the floor.

"Huh? How did that…" She blurts confusedly and turns to face the little mess. Doing so, she takes a few clumsy steps back, which at this size is enough to bring your face inches away from the two mountains of chocolate. The hairs of Veil's tail are close enough to tickle your nostrils, and you're petrified at the thought of what's just behind this tail.

Still confused, Canopy Veil almost steps on your hoof. She immediately pushes her legs away as she feels you at the last second, but her hoof slides on the floor as she does, and it's her whole body which falls on you instead.
The air is knocked out of your lungs as you're pinned under the ass of a mare several times your mass. You face is covered win her green hair, and you feel the dock of her tail right on your chin. While you're covered in hot mare butt down to your knees.
The fall was slow enough you don't think you hurt yourself, but Canopy Veil fidgets uncomfortably as she sits on you, squishing yourself against the floor as she seems unsure she can stand up.

"Sorry!" You hear the mare exclaim in a panic. "I, uh… I have a little more trouble adjusting than I thought!"

>What do?

"Take your time…" You say, and dear Celestia do you mean that.
"I'm sorry…" Canopy Veil repeats. "I… It's hard to explain, but I can't feel the distances right anymore. Hold on…"

You hold on her while she slowly gets on a steadier position, but as she prepares to stand up, your muzzles end up brushing again her anus. The puffy anal rind could be large enough for you to comfortably make out with it.
"Aaah! N-not nowww!" Canopy moans loudly, and after trembling for a few seconds, you feel her full weight fall on you, burying your muzzle in her plot hole while a splash of her juice wets your neck. You feel the mare desperately try to stand up, by she seems to only get more and more confused and contradictory sensations assault her senses. Your face is being smothered by her massive asscheeks, and then you're face to face with her dripping snatch, before connecting with her puffing ring once more. All while Canopy Veil cries words of apology in the middle of her uncontrolled moaning.

Eventually, you're freed from under the ass of Canopy Veil. It seems Sandy Rose helped the mare out to get out of this predicament. The chocolate mare's face is still deeply red as she looks away in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Sandy Rose looks at you with a sly smile.

"Are you alright Canopy?" You ask the mare as you stand up.
"Yes. And, sorry about that…" She says sheepishly.
"If this size is too much trouble, I can make a potion to shrink your next time if you want." 
"No, I just need a little time I think." Canopy shakes her head resolutely. "I didn't think size would change my perception like that. I expected things to simply scale up, but I guess that's not how it works…"
She taps the ground once more, and winces as though she was unsatisfied with the results.

"You should probably have somepony accompany yourself." Sandy says. "At least for today, while you're finding your marks."
The three of you sit in the main room for a while after that while Canopy Veil takes some time to calm herself. In the meantime, you ask Sandy Rose whether she has any idea she could to improve your public representations. 

"Glad to see you can appreciate my talents, stud." She smiles at you confidently. "But personally, I prefer the mood of a smoky late-night pub where you can make some showtime among ladies and gentlecolts, rather than a public display. In fact, I'd rather think about other events like I did in the past."
"Although, I didn't get any idea as good as the princesses recently." She ponders. "Let's see… Mmh…  yeah, maybe I still have something in mind. We could organize some sort of sexy quiz about ourselves. Imagine, stud. The public would have to guess how tall we are, the measurements of our asses, or how big of a dildo we can take, among other things. The patrons would make bets, and then we would demonstrate with numbers how absurdly huge we are already in the most seductive manner. And with sexy rewards for the most cunning of them of course! How does that sound?"

>What do?

"Maybe I could participate." You ask, more interested in being in this show rather than the money it could make.
"Mmh, not sure stud." Sandy shakes her head. "Patrons don't really like unfair competition. I won't force you, but I think it would be better for business if you didn't show your face while we're with the customers."

At that point, you hear the door of your estate open. Thread Lightly walks in, carrying some heavy-looking bags. She gives you an awkward smile as she passes near you and the two newly-enlarged mares in silence. She's probably heading to her room.

>What do?

"What? Am I ugly or something?" You tell Sandy with a cheeky smile.
"Quite the opposite, stud. Other stallions will get cold hooves if the finest gentlecolt of Klugetown is around." She gives you a seductive wink.
You let out a hearty chuckle at the praise. "Alright, if that's what you think is best then fine." 
After that, you silently follow the orange mare under the approving gaze of Sandy Rose.

"Thread Lightly?" She turns back as you call her on the doorstep of her room. She looks like she calmed down, but still feels a little awkward.
"I just wanted to apologize about earlier." You state. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"No, it's me." She shakes her head. "I… I'm feeling a little confused right now. There's some things on my mind, and I let it get to me when you…" Her gaze adverts your eyes for a second. "Sorry. I panicked somehow. Even though I know you mean no harm at all, Wizard."
She let's out a tense chuckle. "I was a bit irrational back there, actually."

"That's not true." You shake your head. "Well… I won't know for sure unless you tell me what's on your mind actually. I think it's always a good idea to communicate. I'll do my best to help."
Thread Lightly lets out a frustrated sigh. There's clearly something bothering her, but…
"Sorry, but I need to figure this one out my own I think." She says. "I know you want the best for me, but I don't think I can rely on you for this one. This is… something personal I guess."

"Hmm" You nod. "I won't force you if you don't want to tell me, but still, is there anything else I can do to make you more comfortable?"
Thread Lightly looks at her hooves for a second, before raising her head.
"Ehm… actually, can I get next week off?" She asks you. "I feel like I need some sort of break. So… Is it alright if I don't work next week? And can I still stay in my room even if I don't bring bits home?"

>What do?

"Thread… Of course you can have some time off." You tell her. "It's going to be a little tight next week since you're my biggest earner and… I didn't really think of some vacation policies either, but I can't say no if you need to take a rest. And if you need bits, you can get a share from when you'll get back to work in the future."
"Thank you, Wizard." She says, a genuine smile illuminating her face. "I'm glad you're letting me take my time."
"And don't worry about the room. What kind of size mage would I be if I kicked a giantess like yourself out?"

Thread winces ever so slightly at that comment.
"Yeah, you're a growth wizard after all…"
"Actually, I think I should pay for you to get a massage." You tell her "Or anything else which could help you relax. Unless you have plans for this week of course."
The mare seems intrigued by the idea.

"Well… maybe not a massage, but… can I pick something else? I'm not sure what yet, though, but I don't have anything special planned either." 
"While you think about it, I didn't get a chance to check the effects of the potion you drank. Do you mind coming with me for a while?"

The mare nods and follows you downstairs.
From the records you get from your device, you learn than Thread Lightly could enjoy an additional bit of raw growth from one of the effect. As for the two others, they're both something which hasn't happened before, and you're unsure what is their nature. Your readings show Thread Lightly might have gained a magical ability of some sort. You think this is some sort of spell she may use on colts only.
Although, your immunity will probably protect such magic to affect you in particular.

>What do?

You merely give a nod and a smile to Thread Lightly to tell her you're done with the observations. You think figuring out her new power can wait as it probably isn't a good to time to stress her over it right now…

"Make sure to unwind this week." You tell her instead. "And to tell me what you'd like to do to relax when you've decided. Or anything else you wanna talk about for the record."
"Hum." She nods. "Thank you, Wizard."
"Just to be sure… you're not feeling like you're getting too big, are you? Because if that's the case, I'm gonna have to shrink the whole world instead!"

Thread Lightly chuckles for a second before answering.
"No, don't worry, I do think I'm gonna like getting bigger in time." She shakes her head, but then lets out a heavy sigh. Even if you don't think Thread Lightly plain lied right now, you suppose her size is still a part of what's troubling her somehow.

For now, you decide to talk about lighter matters. While Thread Lightly tells you she likes the other mares she's working with, she doesn't really have any friend out of your estate. Also, she's still getting to know Canopy Veil.
Thread Lightly also tells you she decided to spend her money on some fabric today. She's been wanting to find some time for herself even before she asked you for a week off. And sewing something she could wear was something she had planned to do already as soon as she would get a potion.

As she hints to you she'd like to get sewing already, you let her return to her room, but not without giving her a quick nuzzle. After your friendly discussion, this one feels right.

Now, there's at least one more mare you need to deal with today. As soon as she got her pay, Maafah climbed to her room, and hasn't come out of it since then. It was few hours ago. You have no idea what she's been doing.

>What do?
 
You climb up the stairs and go knock on Maafah's door.

"Not now!" You hear her muffled voice through the door. "I'm in the middle of something."
She sounds like she's in a bit of a hurry, even though you don't hear any movement in her room, except maybe a very faint buzzing sound.

"Hey, you okay?" You ask her through the door. "You're not usually this quiet."
"I'm just… hold on a second." Maafah says. You hear some clinking sounds for a moment, and then. "It's alright, you can come in!"

You push the door open to reveal Maafah sitting on the ground, a small bowl of stone in front of her, as well as empty vials and sachets scattered around her. In the bowl is a strange, mushy looking purple mixture.
"Sorry, I was just in the middle of mixing." Maafah says. "You know how it works. Did you want to talk about something?"

>What do?

"I just wanted to know how you're doing since you were rather quiet today." You look around the room, but you see no trace of the zebra's kitten. "Where's Paka by the way?"
"I let him go outside a little." Maafah points at the open window. "The little guy needs some space, and he's been coming back safely so I don't worry about him. He'll be alright."

"Hum." You nod. "And what about you? I see you've been busy... I think I know what you're up to, but can I still ask you about it?"

"Well, speaking about that…" Maafah stands up and walks to you, until her hooves are inches away from yours. You have to crane up your neck to look in her eyes.
"Don't you think I didn't notice what you were up to." She tells you. "You've been trying to have me reconsider my worshipping for the Widow, didn't you?"

"Well…" You take a timid step back, but Maafah doesn't look angry. On the contrary, she smiles at you gently.
"Don't worry, it's alright." She says. "And to tell you the truth… I think I'm better off that way. I think I'm way happier being nice and…" She hesitates. "Hugging ponies… than when I wanted to make them my playthings. And I'm about to take my allegiance to the Mother to the next level with the ritual I'm preparing. But for that…" She gives you a luscious smile "I need the help of a stallion. And I'd like that stallion to be you, wizard."

"Sure." This conversation feels a little odd to you somehow. "What kind of help do you need?"
"Isn't it obvious?" The zebra's cheeks get rosy "For what purpose would I need a stallion to get in touch with the Mother?"

>What do?

"Th-that's a big ask." It's your face which becomes red now. "And I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about. But just to be sure…"
"Geez, Wizard…" Maafah giggles. "Do you really want me to say it out loud?"
The zebra brings down her face at your level, your snouts nearly touching each other. "I want to bear foals in the name of the Mother. And I want you to be their father."

Alright. Now that's clear.

"Well… I don't think I can resist such a demand from you. So… how to you want to start?" You ask, still heavily flustered. "Is there something special you want to do?"
"We can start as soon as you're ready." She says with a satisfied smile. "I'll just need to apply the mixture I made on myself. Then, I'll be yours to take in any way you want, Wizard. I've been waiting too long for this myself…"

>What do?

"Ehm… Can we talk a bit about it first?" You state. "I mean, is it gonna be safe for you to drink the potion if you're pregnant? And… Can a pony and a zebra…"
"Don't you worry about that." Maafah places a huge hoof on your mouth to silence you. "We shall conceive under the blessing of the Mother. The foals who will come out of this ritual shall turn out big and healthy."

"Healthy and b-big?"
"Yes." Maafah's smile widen. "They'll be infused with the power of the Mother, and they'll grow magnificently. Probably bigger than even I. Already your potions will give them a boost, but under the watch of the Mother, in time they shall be beacons of health, kindness… and fertility."

You pant as you look up at Maafah. This offer is so tantalizing. You can already imagine yourself spreading the purple mixture all over Maafah's wonderful body, before making her an expectant mother. But still… this is so sudden…
Can you really become a father just like that? Just as soon as Maafah asks you to? Is it a healthy way to think about getting a foal?

Maafah soon seems to catch your uneasiness and lets out a frustrated sigh.
"I am ready, Wizard." She tells you. "More than that actually. I'm tired of waiting. I've been waiting all my life for this."
"Listen." She continues. "I understand this is really sudden, but I want you to know I want this really, REALLLY bad. Still, if you really need to prepare yourself, I'm willing to wait 1 single week for you to make up your mind. But beyond that, I'll have no other choice than to find another stallion."

At this point, the giant zebra places a delicate kiss on the top of your snout. You feel the warmth of her breath all over your face.
"You have one word to say, Wizard, and I'll be yours."

>What do?

"…Yes"
And as soon as you let out this word, you lift your head to kiss back the giant zebra. 

Maafah lets out a pleased purr as you give in to her and that your lips meet. The zebra is eager, and soon her powerful tongue starts an unfair dance with yours. Your mouth is completely filled with the taste of Maafah, sweet and exotic. She explores every corner of your maw with her tongue, while your own muscle barely manages to even slightly push her back.
A striped hoof comes behind your head to ensure you remain locked in the kiss, the plush lips of the zebra sealed against yours, while she continues to have her tongue swirl inside your mouth.

She keeps toying with you for a minute, almost suffocating you as she fills your whole mount effortlessly, and that her lips almost cover you whole snout. You feel tingly and hot all over, bathing in the feeling of the huge mare kissing you deeply while you register your cock growing stiff and twitching under the prodigious ministrations.

Just as you were on the verge of passing out from lack of air, Maafah suddenly breaks the kiss with a wet pop, leaving you in a hazy state of bliss.
You hear her giggle in the mists of your soul, and you absently follow the zebra on her bed as she pulls you with a hoof. She grabs the bowl where the purple mixture is, giving you a close-up view of her exercise ball-sized ass cheeks, and the glistening marehood between them.

"Use your hooves." Maafah says as she presents you the bowl with the mixture. "And follow my lead."
She takes your hoof into hers, and have it dip into the mixture. And then, you start applying it on the zebra's body, lying on her back.
First on her hind legs and rear. While you lie on her belly, the zebra has you trace swirling arabesques on her skin. Like in a dream, your hoof glides on the soft fur and plush flesh while Maafah lets out moans of delights as you touch her giant body. Your own member remains at full mast for the whole time you paint the purple spiraling lines on the zebra's skin.

Once you're done with the twin mounds of ass, she has you take care of each of her front hooves, each as large as your neck, while she holds your body against her chest with the other.
And then you take care of her face, where and Maafah graces you with a short passionate kiss each time you finish a pattern.
Then you descend, following her gracious neck, until your reach her chest, then her belly. Maafah's moans are meet with chuckles while you draw on her bountiful midsection.

But her pleasured laments become more urgent as you go even lower, and closer form her crotch. The patterns are almost complete at this point. And with a final stroke of hoof, you draw the last purple line, from her underbelly to her vagina and clit, which cause the zebra to let out an orgasmic cry as her entrance winks in reaction.

The marks on the zebra's body begin to glow ever so slight, and the air is heavy with magic at this point.
"You did perfectly…" Maafah lets out in a heated breath. "It is time, Wizard. Give it to me, so I can walk the path of spirits."

>What do?

You gaze at the large and wet entrance of the mare. Her musc is strong around here, and you want to get inside badly. But still, you only have your own breath wash over Maafah's pussy for now, and she shivers slightly at each gust of air.

"Aaah… What are you waiting for?" You hear Maafah. You look back at the mare, your head between her tree truck-sized thighs and the perspective of her magnificent body separating your faces. She's panting heavily.
"I though we ought to get a little more intimate." You state. "I guess I would have liked… a little more snuggling before we got to the baby-making."

"Wizard… You'll never change, will you?" She looks slightly embarrassed. "We can… snuggle all you want later. Or e-even before round two, if you want." She winks "All the snuggles you want. Now please, I need you down there, and I want you to do it yourself."

You would have preferred cuddles right now, but you're not the kind to let a giant mare wait. Or at least, wait too much…
First, you run your tongue on the puffy outline of Maafah's pussy, getting an elated shudder out of the mare. Her taste is powerful. Bitter and musky, yet somehow sweet too.
You really like that flavor, and you need more of it.

Maafah's thighs close up on your head and as you push you muzzle inside her entrance, and start lapping. While Maafah pants heavily, you grab the thick of her legs and start stroking, massaging the vast expanses of fat and muscle, all while your tongue is still at work. 
You're very close to heaven. Your head is surrounded by an immense amount of hot zebra flesh, and she's trembling as you tongue keeps servicing her. From the concentrated look on her face, you guess she's having a hard time resisting the urge to clench her mighty legs on your skull.
Something which you actually wouldn't mind, but there's always later.

Maafah breathes out a heavenly huff as your muzzle exits her snatch. Then, you position yourself to rut her proper, your front hooves on her lower belly, which allows you to she her blissful face as you prepare to penetrate her. You tip brushes against the edge of her flower, sending little shocks of pleasure down your member. Maafah bites her lips at the further teasing, but eventually…

"Do it." She orders you in a whisper.

And at this word, you thrust your hips forward.
The sudden amount of pleasure almost knocks the wind of your lungs as your dick penetrates Maafah. She's hot like a furnace inside, and her walls clench around your staff in reaction to the sudden intrusion. All restrain forgotten, Maafah lets out a howl of pleasure while her whole body rears in reaction.
And yet this is only the beginning.

Once the influx of pleasure has passed, you start to move your member back and forth inside Maafah. The experience is mind-numbing. It's like dozen tiny sparks of energy are erupting on your shaft each time you move. As the marks on Maafah's body tart to glow, you dimly register in a corner of your mind the spell might be enhancing the experience. For both of you actually, as Maafah howls at each of your pushes, her hips rocking up and down in rhythm with yours to encourage you to go deeper and deeper inside her. You pick up your pace without even thinking about it, like in the most vivid erotic dream of your existence. Maafah closes her eyes as she keeps howling in orgasmic delight. Your breathing grows desperate as the jolts of pleasure spread to your whole body, threatening to throw off any control you have over your body. You won't be lasting long like that, but you already feel yourself getting close from climax.
The marks on Maafah's body are glowing with a burning red light at this point.

"This is it, Wizard!" Maafah screams in ecstasy. "The blood of life! The holy sign of Motherhood! I'm about to ascend!"
You're only a couple of thrusts away from bursting inside Maafah.

>What do?
 
You put all your strength into hammering it harder and harder inside Maafah. It isn't long before you feel yourself getting over the edge.
"YES!" Maafah encourages you at the top of her lungs. "THIS IS IT, WIZARD!"

With one last thrust, you bury yourself as deep as you can inside the zebra mare. You feel Maafah's inside squeeze your shaft like a vice, but that's not nearly enough to stop the bugle of cum rising through it. You rear up and use a hoof to catch the plum-sized clit of the mare, making her scream in abandon.
You soon start howling too, as you burst inside Maafah. Your body is set ablaze in euphoria as you feel a jet of semen erupting from your shaft in the fertile insides of the zebra. You clamp yourself on her underbelly, snuggling yourself into her fur as another wave of fresh baby-batter comes out of you. And then another. And another… Each pulse sending a blast of heavenly pleasure through your whole body. Your orgasm keeps rocking you as you send untold amount of spunk inside the mare. So much you could swear her belly's filling up and rising under you.

You've lost count about how many times you've felt yourself erupt inside Maafah. Fifteen. No, Twenty now. And still going. You and Maafah are enraptured in an absurdly long orgasm, screaming, and the amount of cum you've sent into her should have killed you already. And yet you're still going, Maafah's belly is now visibly protruding, rising like dough from the untold amount of spunk you've pumped inside. A normal-sized foal could already fit inside her belly when you finally start to feel yourself coming down.

That's it. You're… empty now. Completely exhausted, you fall on your back and feel yourself lose your grasp on reality.

"Sorry, wizard…" You hear while your mind drifts into unconsciousness. "Take care of Paka for me…" 

Next time you come to your senses, you find yourself lying on a bed. Your whole body aches and feels weak, like if you were sick. You open your eyes, and immediately stare in awe as you're met with the sight of an absolutely gigantic Thread Lightly sleeping next to you. Your condition instantly forgotten, you calculate she must be nearly 20 feet tall standing, as your body is barely as long as one of her legs.

But then, you realize something is wrong, as the size of everything around doesn't look right. It doesn't take you long in this larger world to realize Thread Lightly didn't have a growth spurt, but that you shrank to almost half you size.
You see from the lack of light form the windows that it's night outside, and you're currently about two and a half feet tall. You're inside Thread Lightly's room.

>What do?

You dizzily stand up and make your way toward your lab, which was not an easy feat. You could use your magic to open the doors, the handles now too high for you to reach without standing on your rear legs, but coming down the stairs which each came up to your underbelly was a rather perilous exercise in your weakened state.

You really need a remedy right now…
Luckily, you already have something of the like ready, as you're a precautious growth wizard. As you drink the blue potion, you feel your strength coming back to you, and as though a veil is lifted from your senses. Much better.

However, the remedial potion you used did nothing to bring you back your lost inches. You're in shining health, but still standing at a shining two and a half feet.
At that moment, you hear a knock on the door of the lab.
"Wizard?" You hear Thread Lightly. "Are you in here? Can I come in?"

"Yes, come in!" You answer.
And as the towering pony opens the door, a relieved smile illuminates her face as her eyes fall on you. She rushes toward you, her hooves thundering on the ground from your perspectives, and then she effortlessly picks you up to snuggle your whole body against her face like a baby-doll.

"Thank goodness, you're alright Wizard!" She exclaims. "We were all so worried about you!"
"I-it's okay. I'm okay!" You manage to answer despite being smushed against a wall of cheek. "But Maafah owes me some serious explanations. And cuddles too!" 

At these words, Thread Lightly takes you away from her face, looking quite gloom. 
"Uhm… About Maafah" Thread drops you on a workplan of your lab, so she doesn't have to look down too much speaking to you. "We don't know where she is. After the two of you… ahem! Once you were done, she just left the place without explanation. She just said you needed some time to recover, so we didn't think much of it at first. But as she wasn't coming back, and neither were you, we got worried. We quickly found you. Smaller, and looking ill in her room, but not trace of Maafah anywhere in town. It's like she disappeared into thin air."
"We were really scared…" Thread Lightly seems on the verge of tears. "Canopy said you were hit by something really powerful, and really mean… I wasn't sure you'd ever wake up again…"

>What do?

"It was strong magic, incredibly strong. And yet it was subtle, or maybe I was too distracted to notice…"
Indeed, distracted sounds like the word for the state you were in.

"Maybe that was the point." You continue. "I'll be okay in a little while, Thread. As for Maafah... I don't know. If she was telling the truth, she might be on a spirit walk to meet the Mother. But I don't know how likely that is and if I should really believe that."
"I… I'm afraid we won't see her in a while…" Thread sulks.

"All I can say is that things didn't go so well today." You say apologetically "I'm sorry I worried you."
And on these words, you take the mare's face in a hug, and feel a single tear roll down on your face. You're gonna have to do some investigating tomorrow, but for now, you decide to spent the night tucked away between Thread Lightly's giant hooves.

As you lie against her massive chest and hear the thrumming of her hear behind you, you think this situation maybe isn't all that bad…

And that's in for this week. 

As always, feel free to input idea, commands or feedback of any kind. As a reminder, you have 1003 bits available right now. 

As for the ideas that have already been voiced, This week: Thread Lightly will not work, you will search for candidates to assist you at the lab, Sandy Rose will organize a show, you'll search Maafah's room for clues, you'll try to get to know Nails a little better, and try to identify what kind of magic did Thread Lightly gain from this week's potion.
Feel free to remind me if I've forgotten anything.
Next potion will cost 300 bits to make (mk 6).

See you next week.

A strange week, this one. Standing at the height of fillies and colts proved to be less impractical than you thought thanks to your magic. You have little problem going on with your daily routine, although the trip to get your ingredients was a bit more tiring than usual. Also, you find yourself getting a little… distracted when you go outside, where mares stand above you wherever you look. It’s like a glint from the world you mean to create, although you have to remember these mares only look tall because you are small, and that in the end, their bigness is merely an illusion.

“Why don’t you use your potions on yourself?” Asked the merchant when you went for ingredients. What a foolish question really… It’s like this uncultured pony doesn’t know how fetish magic works! But how could a pony who hasn’t spent his better years studying the marvels of sexual fetishes understand? It’s not his fault he’s a mere commoner after all…
“Eh… It’s growth magic.” You eventually answer with a shrug. “It would be too long to explain.”

Still, it is true none of your spells managed to give you back the size you lost. While there’s no trace of any active foul magic on you, your inches were taken away completely, and you won’t be able to take them back without confronting a certain zebra…
Speaking of her, Maafah seems to have completely disappeared from Klugetown. Even with Sandy’s help, you only manage to learn she left the city last Sunday, and went into the desert, alone. If you want a chance to find her trace, you’ll probably need to commit some resources to that matter. Either by hiring somepony, or having one of your mares, probably Sandy Rose or Butterswirl, search for the zebra instead of working for some days. 

The first morning, you and Thread Lightly decided to search her room, but what you found was rather… disturbing. Sadly, the state of Maafah’s chamber leaves little doubts about which goddess watches over her. Perhaps as a result of the ritual she used you for, the place now looks… cursed. You feel yourself shiver as you see the bedsheets, which are stained with a huge, pony-shaped red smear, looking like blood. The air smell heavy yet cold, and the sun through the window doesn’t light up the place nearly as much as it should. You also see several small spiders scurrying away under the bed and furniture as you enter the room. Their webs have already started to adorn the corners of the ceiling.

You also realized Maafah left almost all of her possessions in here, even her bits. Aside from that, you only find the few empty containers for the ingredients of her mixture, and a small notebook. Inside are scribbled lists of ingredients, but also strange patterns that remind you about what you painted of the zebra’s body that day. There’s nothing personal written in here, and there’s little you can learn from it. Unless you wish to try and get in touch with the Widow yourself…
Also, no mare will agree to live in such a place. You’ll need to hire somepony to exorcise this room should you want to make it livable again. Such a service will probably cost you more than renovating another room, unless you ask an assistant to help you with that… Even Paka won’t stay in here, and he now favours the much more welcoming common room for his daily eighteen hours of sleep, where he can get more pets from you and your employees.

You watch over the state of the room everyday, and at least you’re almost sure whatever magic in here is neither getting worse, nor contaminating anything else. The spell in here seems considerate enough to respect the personal space of others it seems.

Nevertheless, you fear your fame, profit and now your diminutive size too might attract wrongdoers on you and your estate. You had already protected the place with magic locks and alarms against outside intrusions when you first arrived, but you're growing worried this might not be enough anymore.
Over the week, you search for candidates to become your assistant. You find three mares which apply in response.

Best Defense. (4 feet 1 inches )
You doubt this is her real name, though…

You recognize the unicorn who accompanied Golden Cloud a few week ago, when he came to try to buy Thread Lightly away from you. The pale unicorn tells you she’s a specialist of defensive magic, and will secure your estate in a week for either 150, 300, or 800 bits. 
The basic price includes force fields and anti-magic fields which would add to your alarms and magic locks. For 300 bits, you’d get more aggressive defenses which would have a great chance to catch trespassers, including freezing spells and sleeping gas. Finally, for 800 bits, Best Defense would personally track down any pony activating your defenses and make them pay back any prejudice done to you, and that for the next 6 months.

While she easily outclasses your own knowledge about wards and barriers, you doubt Best Defense can help you much with the fabrication of your potions.

It seems she’s some sort of a freelancer, and while she works often with Golden Cloud as a body guard, she has no exclusive contract with him.
You hear from Sandy Rose that this mare had been working with many ponies over the years indeed. She is used to work in the shadows, and there’s barely any information about her going on. A sign she’s either a professional, according to Sandy, or a pony powerful enough to wipe out all witnesses each time...

 Swamp Lily (3 feet 6 inches)
You can’t help but to scowl as the mare sits across you. Covered in strange rugs and carrying huge bags, a pungent smell of rot instantly filled the room as soon as she entered. It’s like you just stepped into some bog filled with decaying plants. The many critters you see traveling with the mare look like they can appreciate that at least.
Yet, despite her filth, the mare looks healthy as she can be. Rather small but stout, she carries her heavy burden with ease, and speak with a serene and clear voice.

Even without a horn, she clearly knows her way around magic. Her raw knowledge of alchemy and nature is fascinating, and you can clearly imagine her helping you improve both your potions and the defenses of your estate.
She tells you she is from the wetlands bellow the sea of clouds, and comes to Klugetown to sell her works every two weeks. However, from you she asks no payment, but one of your rooms. She tells you ponies refuse to give her a place even for a night when she’s in town, and she has grown tired of camping at the edge of the city. Swamp Lily would be here to help you in any way you want for one week out of two should you let her move in.
While she clearly states the room doesn’t have to be renovated, you’re visibly gonna welcome many little unsavory guests alongside Swamp Lily, which you and your other employees may not like…

From Sandy, you learn Swamp Lily is indeed forbidden from entering most pubs and inns because of the vermin journeying with her, but she’s also known for being a reliable and honest alchemist. The locals almost trust her more than anypony else to cure illnesses and poisons from ponies, critters and plants alike.

Sulfury (4 feet 8 inches)
Of all the three pony races, Pegasus magic users are the rarest of all. And yet Sulfury stands in front of you, looking excited about the prospect of working with you. The Pegasus specializes in mechanics and explosives in general. You quickly understand whoever will try to breach into your lab will likely end up turned in a pile of ashes should you have her take care of the defenses. The catch here is obviously that you have no guarantee the rest of your lab won’t catch fire too the second somepony triggers the devastating traps Sulfury describes to you. While she's around the same age as Sandy Rose, this mare didn’t look like she grew any wiser in her aging process.

Among what she said which makes you seriously doubt your estate will remain safe with her around:
“Do you really think there’s a better defense than the power of several lightning bolts packed inside your doorbell? Yeah, I thought so...”
Then…
“You can only make mare grow? Not explosives? Are you sure? I say you should try to make bigger explosives…” 
And finally…
“I can’t tell you’re into the big, no, into the HUGE and spectacular, Growth Wizard. I mean, sure, you like giant mare butts, but have you ever tried giants explosions? I think I look at explosions the way you look at giant mare butts, Wizard.”

Yet surprisingly, the mare is quite knowledgeable in the magical concepts of entropy and randomness. You think she could add some spice to your potions, although probably not for a certain result. And despite her obvious love for destructive magic, she seems to have genuine respect for your work as she speaks to you, and sounds like she would consider it a worthwhile opportunity to work in your lab.

Sulfury asks for 10 bits for each day you have her work with you, and the promise you’ll carry her to the nearest hospital if she hurts herself.

One day, an offer of another kind also come in front of your eyes.
You receive another letter addressed to you this week. There is the name of a mare and her address on, but it’s the first time you’ve heard about her.
Through the letter, the mare tells you she’d like to buy a potion from you. She’s ready to pay 300 bits if you can have her go from her current 3’11’’ to 6’ even. From her words, she wasn’t sure you’d accept to sell your spells or not, but decided to try sending you a letter anyway. She asks you to either mail her back or go speak to her at her place should you accept.

One evening, you decide to have another word with Nails about giving her a potion.
“Is this some sort of free trial you’re giving me, Wizard?” She gives your little head a ruffling, once the surprise of seeing your new size has passed. “Because I do think I’d like seeing all the colts look up at me like this.” Her grin gets mischievous. “Yeah, that’ll definitely make me feel like I’m the boss around…”
Over a glass of alcohol, you learn Nails doesn’t mind if your formula only works on mares. She says keeping a few little hooves ready was a necessity anyway. And then, while doing your best not to bring it up as a reproach, you address the mare’s famous bursts of anger, and explain her that might be a problem when she’s strong enough to break a pony in half.

“What?” She jokingly cocks an eyebrow. “Do you plan on making me angry? But seriously, I don’t know how what your methods as a boss or a businesscolt are, but that’s my way of doing things. First, it lets me deal with stress, but there’s something else to it. The more I make it known trying to fuck me over will end with my hooves in your face, the fewer ponies end up trying their luck fucking me over. In fact, I’m pretty sure only the clinically crazy ones will try to pick on me should you make as large as your other mares." 
"Besides, I’ve never done anything that I regretted too much was I got angry. I don’t see why I would just because I’m bigger.”

It seems like just telling Nails her to calm down won’t do much on her. And should you give her a potion, the boosts of confidence will certainly not help with that. In fact, you should probably cancel these effects in the case you give a potion to Nail, you think to yourself after meeting her. You still have the possibility to inhibit any random effect your potion acquired once for 50 bits per effect.

Despite taking the week off, Thread lightly decided to dedicate three days of her time to work for Oasis. As for the rest of her holiday, you see her spent a good chuck of it in her room. It seems she got working on something she wanted to seam, but she’s been refusing to let you see any of her work before it is finished. Thread also takes some time to fix your hat so you can wear it despite your diminutive stature. Also, she often goes out during the day, telling you she’d like to have a walk outside. Sometimes, she comes back after several hours.

You also take the occasion to try and figure out the new magic your potion gave her. It's a little awkward as Thread Lightly knows nothing about magic, and that you aren't exactly sure what to expected either. Still, you process with the little you have.
From one of the window of the ground floor, you have Thread Lightly try to use her powers on the stallions passing outside. You try to describe to Thread Lightly how it feels when you use magic and have her do that on a colt. You're muddling through this, and end up merely watching Thread Lightly squint her eyes fruitlessly at the ponies outside.

This yields little result, and you both only get up feeling frustrated about that unknown magic. You're missing something, but no other effect you've triggers in the past ended up being really subtle. Perhaps the next pony you enlarge will get more luck solving this mystery…

Despite refusing the idea of you offering her a massage at first, Thread Lightly eventually accepts the present as she couldn’t think about something else, and as she didn’t want to refuse your kindness.
The masseuse stallion who ends of accepting the challenge, for working on a pony twice as tall and many times heavier IS a challenge, has her first take a mud bath while he weights his options. Your employee seems to really appreciate the warm clayey mixture on her body, and then giggles as she gets cleaned with a high-pressure jet. She readily has the powerful stream of water hit her face, and lets out a relieved sigh after shaking the water off her now pristine fur.

Then, she’s positioned on four loungers strapped together, and the masseuse tells her he’s gonna use a bit on an unorthodox technique on her. Indeed, there's only so much regular hooves can do on the body of a nine-feet-plus mare. And you did order the extra deep massage, curious to see how it would end.
It turns out the stallion planned to use all his weight rather than only his strength, and climbs on Thread's back while she rest on her belly. And from the pleased whimpers which soon escape the mare's mouth, the stallion seems to be doing well. You see the sweat pearl on his forehead as he has to stand on his forelegs to address the tightest knots of Thread Lightly, but somewhat he manages to remain dexterous enough to get the job done, and some pleasured purrs out of Thread. But as a result, the mare grows slightly bigger under the masseuse from the stimulation, and he gulps in apprehension as his challenge just grew bigger under his eyes. 

The masseuse is exhausted as the end of this session, but shows you a victorious grin as Thread Lightly looks absolutely satisfied with the treatment. This pony sure earned his 20 bits.

By the end of the week, Thread Lightly looks like she really managed to evacuate a big deal of stress. You’re not sure she has found an answer to what was putting her so ill-at-ease, but she’s definitely acting more optimistic about her situation. And she even got more comfortable about snuggles again, and your little morning ritual is back on its tracks.

With Maafah’s disappearance and Thread Lightly’ holidays, Sandy Rose and Canopy Veil had to make it a two-mare show. While the hype didn’t go as high as for the previous representation, the formula ended up still being quite profitable. With a mix of games and bets, the audience was very willing to spend its money. And since they’re no growth wizards, few times did they guess right about the measurements and feats which your mares were capable of. Who could have guessed Canopy Veil could take five whole feet inside her?
You, the Growth Wizard would have guessed that. That’s who. 

Butterswirl spent one day working for Oasis, and the rest of the week advertising your business far and wide. She reaches the Forbidden Jungle this week, and gave pamphlets to ponies wearing weirds rugs and hats of feather, or so she tells everypony when she returns.

This week, only Sandy Rose and Canopy Veil earned you some bits. Your newest employee didn’t spend any time working for Oasis this week. Sandy Rose brought back 360 bits home on herself, and Canopy Veil made 399 bits. During show-night, they both made 452 bits in addition, for a total of 1211 bits of income. Sandy Rose seems satisfied about this, and she says the show has a chance of being just as profitable next week, as long as there’s a new mare or two to show the audience…

You brewed a potion for 300 bits, as well as one for 50 bits in case a fumble on an evil zebra comes knocking at your door.
This week, you also decided to improve the common room a little. Among other smaller things, you now have an actual oven to cook with, and the aging couch can now fully belong to Paka as you bought the biggest and sturdiest sofa you could find. Occupying almost one whole width of the common room, two dozen ponies could sit on the new thing at once, which means about two of your workers can comfortably lie without touching each other. Everypony agreed this was a sound investment.

You also think about getting some present for each of your new girls, but you haven't spoke or decided anything about this yet.

This week : 1003 bits – 27 bits (expanses) – 20 bits (beauty products) – 300 bits (potion mk6) – 50 bits (potion mk1) – 300 bits (Common room furniture) – 20 bits (massage for Thread) + 399 (income from Canopy Veil Thread Lightly) + 360 (Sandy Rose) + 452 bits (Show) + 76 bits (which Maafah left behind) = 1573 bits

Offers currently on the table:
For 3000 bits: you may buy an aircraft to send workers search for ingredients for 200 bits weekly. Having the merchant who currently sells you the ingredients give the orders guarantees you up too bits of free ingredients each week.
For a renovated room: Nut Tails will drink potions form you and give you 80 bits per week.
For 150 bits: Best Defense will add forcefields and anti-magic fields to protect your estate.
For 300 bits: She's add sleeping gas and freezing spell to catch trespasser.
For 800 bits: She'll personally track down any trespasser her traps fail to catch.
For a room: Swamp Lily will help you bolster your defense or work on ways to enhance your potions one week out of two. Your estate might get infested with vermins of different kind with her around, though.
For 10 bits a day: Sulfury will work on securing your estate with dangerous traps or enhance your potions in uncanny ways. The results are gonna be unpredictable in all cases.
A mare of Klugetown is ready to pay you 300 bits if you can have her gain 2 feet and 1 inch.
The assembly with Oasis is next week.

You are the growth wizard
You make mares bigger with potions.
They work for you and bring back money.
You have hired 5 mares so far: 

Maafah: a zebra, who worshiped a strange and seemingly evil deity when you hired her. She obeyed your orders, but you wished she followed a more gently deity, and tried to push her in that direction. You offered her a kitten, and had her work for a charity. You also talked to her about it, and tried to make her understand she might be happier if she had a nicer approach on relationship.
However, last week, she had you participate in a ritual which ended up taking away two feet of size from you, and simply disappeared after that.

Thread Lightly: an earth pony who was a slave in the past. Demure at first, she eventually grew a bit more confident as size and potions went on her. She even found a name for herself with your help: Thread Lightly. She seems to genuinely like you and her colleagues. She made you a hat.
Last week, though, she started acting strangely, looking really stressed out, and requested a week off from you. You think there's something troubling her mind but she seems reluctant to talk about it.

Sandy Rose: a mature unicorn and hardened whore. Your relationship with that mare is rather professional, even though you couldn't resist her offer when she wanted a piece of you. She's been obedient, and providing useful advice and money-making ideas since she knows a lot about Klugetown and her job.

Butterswirl: Originally a pegasus. Cheerful, and obsessed with the idea of transforming her body. Since she isn't comfortable working as a prostitute, you have her advertise for the other mares across the land. First potion you gave her fumbled, and gave her dragon greed. While that condition is cured, she retained a dragon's tail and wings, which she enjoys greatly.

Canopy Veil: You most recently-hired worker. Kind of a hippie according to Sandy Rose, but you still have to get to know her better. She is blind, but it used not to be a problem for her. However, doubling her size threw her marks off the window, and she's now being rather clumsy when she moves around.



You think you're gonna hire both Swamp Lily and Sulfury. Best Defense seems like a professional, so definitely a boring choice… Even if she doesn't demand so, you're gonna renovate a room for Swamp Lily to. At least to keep her many little passengers at bay.
Nails if probably gonna join your little family too. You hope she'll also be able to provide some advice about how to make your estate a better place. 

First, you get the wages out of the way. Canopy gets 87 bits, Sandy 93 bits, 50 bits for Butterswirl, and 43 bits for Thread Lightly since she worked for Oasis a little. You also decide to keep yourself from using the bits from Maafah. Just in case it's cursed, or in the faint hope she returns someday…

1573 bits – 87(Canopy Veil) – 93 (Sandy Rose) - 50 (Butterswirl) – 43 (Thread Lightly) – 76 (Maafah's money put aside) = 1224 bits.

And then, it's time Sandy Rose scaled up to your other workers.

"Here we go again I guess…" She says with a sigh as she uncorks the bottle containing the potion.
"I'm not forcing you." you say. "If you don't want to drink a potion now, we'll wait until you're ready."
"Thanks, stud." She smiles at you. "But don't worry. I'm ready to step up. And also to get some more junk in my trunk!"

And there, Sandy Rose drinks the potion, and start growing. Already towering over you, she ascends even further. She doesn't put up a little show for you like she did the first time, and instead watches body transform with attention. And more specifically, she can't take her eyes away from her ass cheeks, which swell like bread in the oven. Sandy's rather lithe build only serves to exaggerate the size of her butt even further, and you even think you hit a random effect to enlarge a mare's ass for the third time. As the growth comes to a halt, Sandy has reached the size of 9 feet and 7 inches. Probably because the hit the lower side of the growth range, Thread Lightly is still 2 inches taller. Her butt however, now challenges the one of Butterswirl in sheer size. At your own height, you could consider using the two mounts of mare flesh as a trampoline. Sandy's butt is on the verge of looking ridiculous on her frame.

"Geez…" Sandy says in awe, as she probes her own huge rear. "I hope you're into bottom-heavy mares, because you're making us all inflate like balloons! Not that I really mind, but- OOOH!"

Sandy lets out a loud moan as the second wave of growth hits her. And it is visibly much stronger than usual. The mare eyes go unfocussed as a pulse of grow makes her gain 1 whole feet in a second, and then another wave of growth washes over her with a rumble. And another… And another… And your other mares take a worried step behind as Sandy lets out an orgasmic cry and puts on almost two more feet of height in an instant.

Panting heavily and flustered, Sandy Rose has her neck arched against the 12-foor ceiling. The last spurt propelled her to a whooping 14 feet and 4 inches. However, having the room close up on her like this prevented Sandy to carelessly appreciate the ride, and she quickly start to shrink back after the growth ends, a rather worried look on her face.

Examining the results you got from your potion, it seems you've indeed struck a increase in butt. The two other effects landed on the growth coming from arousal, which explain the huge spurt Sandy just experienced.

You're definitely gonna need to examine the possibilities to adapt your estate. Right now, the place has two floors, and 12-feet ceiling everywhere. There's 8 rooms and one bathroom with toilets upstairs, and 4 more rooms, one bathroom and the common area on the ground floor. Your lab and room, as well as a cellar are in the basement. You have little to no space around your building. The neighbor buildings only have a 4-feet gap between them and your estate, and behind you only have 10 feet of flat ground before the edge of a cliff where you can see the desert sand about a hundred feet below. The street in immediately in front of your building. You estate is built almost exclusively in wood. Plans coming next week.

Also, you think you may get better loans now you're making some decent money. You'll need to see this with Sandy, but the amount you can borrow has probably increased a lot. But today is the day you rest with your employees.
Right now, Sandy has finished shrinking down to 9 feet and 7 inches, the other mares looking relieved to hear she's alright and didn't bonk her head too hard on the ceiling or something.

>What do?

You can't help but to be deeply moved by Sandy's new appearance. Yes, you love bottom-heavy mares, and the fact they're giant makes you love it even more. Or is it the opposite? You're not even sure anymore. You just know being smothered to death under Sandy's butt would be a fine way to go in your book…

"That was amazing Sandy!" You tell the older mare as you approach her. "Just for a second, that was the most intoxicating thing I've ever seen."
"Aw, would you look as that smooth little stud?" She chuckles, then lies on her belly to look at you at eye level. Even with that perspective, you can still see some of her giant ass cheeks peeking from each side of her body. 
"Could it be… you want to be the first customer of the improved me again?" Sandy asks.

"Ehm…" you blush, burning at the idea of saying yes. "I just wanted to talk to you for a while."
"Sure thing stud." She answers. "We'll where this leads us."

The two of you settle for the couch while the other mares decide to prepare a brunch for everypony. Sandy Rose is lounging next to you, her face only a couple of feet away from you.

"I just wanted to be sure you're alright." You tell Sandy. "Do you have a target height in mind where you'd like to stop yet? And more generally… How do you feel about how large you're becoming?" 
"It's… refreshing in some way." Sandy Rose answers. "Call me shallow if you want, stud, but having stallions and mares turn their head in amazement wherever I go made me remember my younger days, when I was among the most beautiful mares of Klugetown."

At that point, Sandy snickers, a bitter-sweet look on her face as she seems to remember something.
"It made me remember my younger days… Would you listen at me? I must really be getting old to start talking like that!"

She let's out a sigh, and closes her eyes. She seems to be lost in her thoughts for a second, but then she tells you :
"It's a weird thing to explain, stud, but before you hired me, it had been something like… almost two dozen years I hadn't tried something new. I had delusions when I was younger, that I'd eventually seduce some rich pony and end up living in a beautiful manor with servants to spoil me forever… but I never did anything to even achieve that. I was just going by the day without any goal, just living for the sake of it. And even though I wasn't… unhappy, time was just running down on me, and before I even realized it, I ran out of time to do anything meaningful with my life."

She opens her eyes again, and shows you a warm smile.
"And then you came up, and time started to slow down again. I met new ponies each week, I saw some weird but sometimes exciting stuff happen, I organized shows… It feels like I'm doing something meaningful out there, at least on the scale of a pony like myself."

You feel moved by what she says, and for a time you only stare back at the beautiful immense eyes staring fondly at you. And then Sandy lets out a hearty chuckle as she sits up again.
"That's a lot of rambling to say I'm fine with getting bigger and working for you, don't you agree stud?" She asserts.

After that, you tell Sandy you'd like to offer her a massage. While she's pleasantly surprised and wishes to go today, you're not sure you'll be going with her as there's other mares you may want to meet today, such as Nails, Butterswirl or Canopy Veil.

Still, you ask Sandy about loans, and she tells you can probably borrow up to 1000 bits by now, since you can easily prove you make that much money fast enough.

You also tell her about the new magic abilities she may possess now she drunk the potion. She seems slightly puzzled and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary with her magic, she tells. Unfortunately, you're also completely immune to the sort of magic your potion gave her, and she can't test it on you.

"No need to worry, stud. We'll find out eventually." Sandy shrugs. "The abilities you tell me about, they aren't… the sort of thing which turned Butterswirl into a greedy dragon, are they? I say there's no reason to worry, then."

>What do?

"You know, I'd gladly be your first customer, but I'd rather have everything sorted out before that."
"Aw, are you afraid of me?" Sandy pouts. "Well, I'm gonna say it's your loss then."
"It sure is… Also, you could have had a day off for that massage you know? Didn't you wish you had some?"
"Eh…" She shrugs. "Not really. I'm having more fun working these days."

"Alright then, how about you take fifty bits from me and go have that massage?"
"Sounds good to me!" And there, Sandy stands up as the brunch is almost ready. But before that…

"You know Sandy." You call her. "I think you should know I'm looking up to you. And not just because you pretty or several times my size! No, I mean, you're smart, you know you way around Klugetown and its ponies like nopony else, and you really have talent to come up with new ideas. I think this place and all of us wouldn't be half as successful without you around. So… Thank you, Sandy Rose"
"Aw, stud…" The mature mare purrs, and leans her head to place a soft smooch on your forehead. You feel her hot breath on you whole body.
"You're really the most adorable of stallions…" She whispers with a lascivious tone.

"Also… I realize I haven't given you a welcome present since you got with us." You sate, blushing heavily. "What would you like? Or what do you like to do outside of work, so I can pick something?"
"A gift now?" Sandy chuckles "Stud… Aren't you tired of being a gentlecolt all the time? Let's see… Oh, I know! My ear pieces have become ridiculously small recently. Perhaps you could find me new ones. Also, I stopped having hobbies a long time ago. I usually just got drunk when I wanted to vent out stress, but that has become quite hard since I became a big piece of a mare. Perhaps it's for the best, though…"

After enjoying a healthy number of pancakes and eggs with your mares, you decide to have Nails come over while Sandy is getting her massage. You explain to her your concerns and plans to make the place comfortable for you plus-sized employees.

"That's a bit of a challenge…" Nail eventually says after examining your estate at several spots for thirty minutes. "But I think I should be able to sort everything out. You're in luck. The foundations are top-notch, and not only can we safely remove the first floor to get you more space, but I could even build another 24-feet high floor atop this place."
"However, I'm not so optimistic about expanding toward the cliff. It is possible to do it, but digging new foundations without having the cliff crack altogether is gonna be tedious work. That'll take a bunch of time from me and my guys."

For a first estimation, Nail tells you it would cost 1000 bits and one week the remove the first floor, 3000 bits and two weeks to build another, higher one, and 10000 bits to expand the building toward the cliff in 6 weeks of time.
You've yet to take a decision about having her move in. Right now, Nails decides to take a few more measurements to get a better idea of what can be done here.

In the meantime, you ask Butterswirl about how she's doing with the flyers, and whether she's got another opportunity once she's done with them. This week, she tells you she's going to fly south over the wetlands, and go where the hippogriffs dwell to distribute the last flyers.
While she doesn't have any definitive answer yet, Butterswirl tells you she's gonna try to be a courier once she's done.

"These wings are amazing!" She flaps he dragon-like limbs excitedly. "They never feel sore, and I feel like I'm only getting more enduring as I fly on! I'm confident there's gonna be a spot for delivering packages where trains or airships can't go."  

>What do?

Satisfied, you go tell Nails you may want to both remove the first floor and renovate some rooms in the coming weeks. She'll be able to do both in one week, she tells you. However, all your mares except for Canopy Veil decided to have their rooms upstairs until now, and there's only four rooms downstairs. Removing the floor also means Maafah's room will have to be destroyed with unknown consequences. 

Besides, there's only four room downstairs right now, so you'll need to think this through if you want everyone to keep having its own place, especially if you want to have Swamp Lily and Nail move in. Since the new furniture can be simply displaced, renovating a room downstairs will only cost 100 bits if you use the furniture from a room upstairs (once again, map of the estate coming next week to make it all clearer hopefully.)

Now that you know your options, you decide to go visit Swamp Lily. The stout mare will be selling her stuff around Klugetown this week, and you may talk with her the end of next week.

"Hello Growth Wizard." She greets you softly as you approach. In the open and with the dry air of Klugetown, being near the wetland pony isn't especially unpleasant.
"I suppose you're here to talk about the offer I made you, right?" She asks you.

>What do?

"Well, yes." You nod. "And you're gonna have have a room for yourself, Swamp Lily. But first, I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page. You do know what the mares in my estate do for a living, right? Is that gonna pose any problem to you?"

"Do not worry." Swamp Lily shakes her head "I am not one to judge the doings of others. If your mares are willing to have sex with other ponies for coins, it is not my purpose to stop them, or even to tell them how them should behave. I may only share my experiences, but not present them as more virtuous that anything else. That's all I have to say."

"Good." You smile at her. "Then I'll prepare the arrangement to prepare a room for you where critters won't be able to come."

"That's a little uncouth." Swamp Lily scrunches slightly. "I appreciate the company of those who travel with me, and I consider them my friends." 
"If they're your friends, can't you tell them not to bother the rest of the ponies around, then?"
"You got it wrong." She sakes her head. "I could command their every move, but as a friend, I won't. But feel free to make any arrangement you deem necessarily, as long as my room can house whatever I wish. But if a critter wanders outside of my room and that you kill it, then it was fate, and I won't get angry over that. Critter live, die, and kill critters sometimes simply for wandering on their territory. It is only nature."

>What do?

"How about I just make your room critter-proof and add a door directly to the outside?" You offer. "That way you can keep your friends with you, but they won't disturb my other mares."
"As I said, any mean you deem necessary is fine." Swamp Lily answers. "As long as the room is mine."

"Good… but can you still make sure nothing gets into my lab? We don't want a giant rat or wasp making the whole cliff collapse, do we?"
"Are there no rodent or insect when I'm not in Klugetown?" The mare starts to sound a bit annoyed. "What have you done to protect yourself against the catastrophic scenario you speak of until now? I reckon it shall still be enough. While I surely like them around, critters don't need my presence to simply exist and go where they wish to. But just so you know, critters fear most magics like the plague and avoid contact with them, for they know by instinct they can undergo wounds or changes they cannot assume. Critters won't need me to keep off your spells, Growth Wizard…"

"Okay, I get it." You wince. "Sorry… Anyway, we should still be okay I think. I'll just need to make sure I get the preparations done, and you'll be able to move in shortly unless something goes wrong. Does it sound good?"
"Yes." Swamp Lily nods, sounding perfectly calm again. "I realize most ponies dislike my way of living, but I'm sure we can manage to live together."

You go back home after that and have a word with Nail about the case of Swamp Lily's room. Along with the magic locks and alarms, it would costs you 300 bits to have an existing room get a door to the outside as well as to make sure as little vermin as possible will pass to the rest of the estate. This work can be done in less than a day.

The other options is to build a whole new shed attached to your estate for 500 bits. It'll be much easier to keep the vermin at bay that way, but it'll take a whole week to build and furnish.

But in all cases, Swamp Lily will still use the common room to cook for herself you suppose, and she'll also work in the lab with you, so whatever you choose, some insects or critters may still end up prowling on your ground…

>What do?

You wonder if Thread Lightly finished what she was working on, but you decide not to bother her if she's not ready.

Instead, you decide to go check on Canopy Veil. While it certainly wasn't as much of a problem as last week, she still seems to be struggling with movements sometimes. You learn she is in her room, and decide to knock on her door.
"Yes!" You hear. "Come in!"

The giant chocolate mare is lounging on her bed. She shows as smile in your direction as you enter her room, but looks a little distressed somehow.
"Can I help you, Wizard?" She politely asks.

You notice an open book under one of her hooves.

>What do?

"Hey, what are you reading?" You ask her. "If you don’t mind telling me…"
"That? Hum…" She sounds a bit embarrassed, and swiftly closes the book. "It's nothing, just some… story I like to reread from time to time… hehe…"

Unfortunately, you know of no magic which could help Canopy Veil adjust. The kind of sensing spell you would need are outside of the realm of your knowledge. The best you could do would be some sort of alarm which would set of when she's too close to something. But let's face it. That would be terribly embarrassing to use in public…

>What do?

You're at a loss about what to do, and can only roll on the ground seductively as you try to think about Canopy's predicament. You wish you could just have Canopy sit on your face and forget about these complicated, time-consuming problems, but you currently have a bigger purpose in your life than being smothered under a giant mare's butt.
Once your purpose is fulfilled, though, you'll gladly get flattened many times over for all these missed occasions.

You only know about few decent magic users in Klugetown unfortunately…
Sandy Rose only wield basic telekinesis, and probably can't help you. She doesn't have many wizards among her relations either.
As you think about it, you realize Swamp Lily might be the pony you're looking for to help Canopy Veil. Surely somebody who cares even about small insects knows how to feel them. And crazy as it may sound, Sulfury might surprisingly have a solution too. She has some sort of prosthetic eye after all…

"Wizard?" Canopy Veil asks, quizzical. "Are you… rolling on the ground?"

>What do?

"I was just thinking..." You stand up again. "You have trouble navigating with your new size, don't you?"
"Well…" She mare shivers uncomfortably.
"It's alright. I think I know somepony who could help you." You say. "Let me hop on your back and let's pay her a visit."

"Hum. Okay!" Canopy Veil sounds surprised, but in a good way. As she allows you to climb on her back, you're met with a terrible dilemma. Eventually, you resist the call of the wide hips of the blind mare, which would have made for a very comfortable seat.
Instead, you decide to bury yourself in the massive poof of a mane of Canopy Veil. You're small enough you could completely disappear inside the forest of green hair. It's soft, warm and fluffy in here, and smells like chocolate and care oil. Maybe you could install your lab and room in here someday…

You meet Swamp Lily once more and explain the problem to her. She listens every word with attention.
"I see…" She nods to herself when you're done explaining. "Growth came with unexpected troubles this time… Canopy Veil, do you wish to giving up the size you got?" Swamp Lily ask the mare with a stern tone.

Your giant steed hesitates for a second, and you feel her shivers for only a second, before she states.
"No. I want to be able to go forward no matter how large I get!"

Swamp Lily nods in reaction.
"Good. But unfortunately, I don't have any solution ready at hoof. I'll need to put a little thought into that first, for I intent to make it work regardless of any growth you experience in the future."

And that's in for this week. As always feel free to input any idea, command of feedback. 
For the commands I noted already : During this week, you'll get a 500-bits shack built for Swamp Lily, (she accepts to work in your lab while camping outside town this week). You also hire Sulfury to help you, Sandy Rose will organize another of her show, and you'll have Swamp Lily examine Maafah's room.

The first day of this week have a brainstorm with Swamp Lily and Sulfury the first day, to see what they're capable of regarding your potion and the defenses of your home, as well as more circumstantial researches.

Research time! You can assign jobs to your assistants. Regarding potions, once you have successfully completed a research, you can choose to apply the upgrade or not for free for any potion you produce.

Available activities for Swamp Lily
For your potions:
>Natural Growth: 3 weeks to research. 
By using the growth magic of your potions to reactivate and strengthen the natural growth process of ponies, this upgrade will make any mare who drinks your potions perpetually grow 2 more inches each week.
>Growing Harmony: 5 weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily understand the universal nature of you craft, and tells you about a ways to spread growth around town more easily. With that upgrade, you mares will be able to duplicate the effects the potion and to gift them to one another willing mare at a time with a simple physical contact. The effects would dissipate after up to one hour unless the contact is renewed.
>Mind Empathy: 2 Weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily thinks this could be a good idea to help your mares adjust to new size. Your potions will let the mares who drink them feel the state of mind of ponies around them, so they can know when ponies around them feel comfortable, scared, or are getting hurt.

For the defense of your estate:
>Critter Watcher:  1 week to produce. 
Swamp Lily will train any critter of your choice to watch out for strange movement and come to warm you if there's something fishy. The smarter the critter, the more efficient of a watcher they'll be. The critter must be free to wander in the estate.
>Splintering Wood. 1 week to produce. 
Swamp Lily will enchant the wooden doors, handles and floors of your estate to produce nasty spikes should an intruder touch them. Note: for all spells, intruders are ponies or similar people who come into your estate without your invitation.
>Entangling Vines. 1 week to produce. 
Swamp Lily will plant a special kind of ivy around your estate which will come alive and tie down any intruder. While Swamp Lily will only need to tend to the plant for a week, it'll take 5 weeks for it to reach adult size and to be able to hold down the strongest intruders.

>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Swamp Lily to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.
>Helping Canopy Veil: 1 week to research. 
Swamp Lily will assess what she can do to help the blind mare.

Note: Swamp Lily is only here on week out of two, and researches will be paused while she's not with you.

Available activities for Sulfury:
For your potions:

>Exploding Crits: 4 weeks to research. 
Sulfury think she can tap into the most powerful effects of your potions to enhance the rest of their effects. With this upgrade, whenever you get a crit or a fumble on one of your potions, you will roll as many more random effects than the potion originally rolled. Crits and fumbles rolled that way are dismissed.
>Chaotic Range: 1 week to research. 
Instead of rolling several dices, the growth range of a potion will be determined by a single random number, increasing the chance to strike the extreme ends of the growth range. (for example, instead of Rollin 4d12 for the growth range, a random number between 4 and 48 will be chosen).
>Critical Focus: 3 weeks to research. 
Sulfury thinks she can increase the chances for the most powerful effects of your potions to show up. Will double the chance to get a crit or fumble at each random effect rolled.

For the defense of your estate:

>Explosive traps:  1 week to produce. 
Sulfury will install some sort of landmines at strategic spots of your estate. Any intruder triggering them will be met with a powerful blast of fire. Sulfury will 'try' to make sure the estate doesn't catch fire when the trap goes off.
>Shock Handles:  1 week to produce. 
Suflury will equip your locks and door handles with a trapped device which will send the equivalent of a lightning bolt through the body of any intruder trying to force its way in or to pick the equipped lock.
>Pounder-class Golem: 3 weeks to produce. Costs 300 bits in material. 
Sulfury will build a 5-feet tall steel automaton to defend you home. It will attack and pound any intruder until they leave your grounds or stop moving, all while blaring a very loud alarm as it comes in action.

>Study: 1 week to research. 
You can tell Sulfury to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.
>Helping Canopy Veil: 1 week to research. 
Sulfury will assess what she can do to help the blind mare.


You don’t even have time to worry about finding Maafah this week with how many opportunities presented themselves lately.

While Nails and her workers are building a 8-ft-tall shack for her, complete with a small cleaning and cooking area for 600 bits, you have Swamp Lily examine Canopy Veil more thoroughly, all while she starts her researches. By the end of this week, she has reached a conclusion about the blind mare.
“I can help her.” Swamp Lily state. “And according to me, the best way to do that would be for me teach her to use the eye of the mind. In the wetlands bellow, the thick clouds obscure the sun; the thick moss muffles all sounds, and the cold water dulls even the touch. Canopy Veil may follow me back there, and she shall learn to see through her invisible eye. I think she would need to follow me for three weeks before she can master enough to continue the journey on her own. These weeks don’t have to be consecutive, and…” She chuckles. “…Worry not, Wizard. Unlike for me, a simple shower will suffice to clean her from the wetland’s marks when she comes back.”

Later, you decide to visit the mare who wrote to you about buying a potion. While you eventually plan to grow all the mares around the word, right now you’d rather keep an eye on the mares you grow.
The mare who contacted you doesn’t seem to be anything really special. You learn she owns one of these food carts wandering around town. Around 30 years-old, she lives alone in a decent-looking home by Klugetwon standards.

She listens carefully as you tell her she won’t reach 6’ even, and what the other effects of your potion are gonna be. Still, she sounds alright with a growth range between 19 and 30 inches. She just assumed you could growth a mare by any amount you wished when she wrote to you. As for why she wants to get bigger, she explain she expects pulling her cart around town to become much easier once she becomes a six-footer.
Her offer still stands, and she seems satisfied with what you told her. Even if this only makes a small profit for you, it might still be worth it if you find yourself needing to brew less than three potions one week.

Aside from the research and helping Canopy Veil, you also have Swap Lily examine Maafah’s room. After a dozen minutes, Swamp Lily turns to you.
“This is no curse, Wizard.” She starts to explain “Or at least, it wasn’t meant to be one. No, it may have been by a power you do not appreciate, but this place was consecrated after powerful magic has been at work here. However, since it has only happened once, the imprint of the Widow here is relatively weak. Simply leaving this room alone will be enough for the magic of the Widow to dissipate. In about five weeks, this place will be a room like any other once more.”
“Five weeks…” You pout. “That’s really long. I’m gonna have projects which will need this room to be cleared way before that.”

“Then wash these bed sheets.” Swamp Lily says. “Get rid of the spiders and clean their webs away. Everyday. In one week, this room will be free from the Widow’s influence. Or simply wreck the place, and you’ll get the same result. But be warned that such acts will not play in your favor should a confrontation with the Widow or her servants arise, and a full-blown exorcism would be an even worst thing to do in that regard… I can be the hoof to do any cleansing you want, but the grief of the spirit will still be directed at you.”
You wince. So whatever you do, the Widow will be angry at you unless you let her influence fade way naturally? What a pain…

“However, Wizard, perhaps you did not notice…” Swam Lily puts a hoof on your chest. “But this place welcomes you. It seems you’ve pleased the Widow recently. A selfish goddess she might be, but I know no sprit, which survived without rewarding those who made sacrifices for them. Do what you want with what I just told you.” The earth pony says, before leaving the room.

This week, you also have a room renovated for Nails, downstairs. The unicorn seems satisfied to see you finally found some room in your budget for her. She brings some stuff on her own. Some tools, drawing material and several book and notebooks, as well some sheets, pillows and curtains, all way fancier than what she put in the other rooms she renovated. Finally, a hefty turntable and many discs to go with it. She definitely has a lot more capital than the other mares you hired, but she seems comfortable talking with then.

You also hire Best Defense to fortify your estate for 150 bits. While you ask her if her methods would work to keep the vermin away, she seems takes offense of it.
“My spells are not meant to be used as pest control.” She declares coldly in response. “Frankly, that just not my job. Go ask somepony who actually knows about the subject.”

This week, the nature of the magical ability you gifted your mares finally came in plain view. After the first day, Sandy reports her job became a lot more productive as she could now gift her patrons with renewed stamina. No matter how many times Sandy squeezed the juice out of them, her clients were immediately ready for seconds, thirds, and sometimes many more… Besides, even in the most heated intercourses, the stallions only ended up with a light soreness, even after a giant Sandy Rose repeatedly crashed mercilessly on them. That should have both potion effects sorted out.
After blushing profusely for all the time Sandy described the situation in very graphic words, Thread Lightly finally admits she had similar experiences today.

One another note, with how huge and growing she got, you can’t help but to spare a few admiring words whenever you see Sandy Rose. You make sure to voice how much you like her new size and assets, and never miss a chance to encourage her.
Sandy seems to like the attention, and revels in it. She never fails to reward your kind words with either a pat, a snuggle, or even a kiss on your cheek or forehead. That’s also how she greets you each morning now. By pressing her plump giant lips on the side of your face, before asking you how you think she looks today, and then placing a second kiss on the other side of your head after you told her how beautiful you thought she was.

Around the end of the week, you gift her a pair of earrings. Sandy bursts in laughter as she realizes they’re shaped like tiny ponies which would be hanging by their hooves at her ears.
“All right wizard… Haha!” She says once her laughing has almost died out “Now that’s funny! But let me guess, you’d rather have actual ponies dangle from the ears of a gigantic me, wouldn’t you?”
“Well…” You blush deeply. For that to be true, Sandy would need to be 50… no, almost 100 feet tall. You imagine such a giant mare confidently showing off her stature like Sandy does these days…

“Watch out, stud.” The lascivious tone of the mare takes you out of your daydream. Her face is only inches away from yours, and fills your whole vision. “You’re drooling… Also, you did make it clear in the past you’d rather not get in too much of an intimate relationship with us. But with how you’ve spoken to me recently, I’m starting to wonder if you’re gonna go back on those words. Not that I mind!” She smiles mischievously at you. “I mean, you know my policy. I’m free for you as long as I get some. And to be honest...” She lets out a small giggle. “I’m rather curious to see you try to satisfy me at my size, stud.”
The massive mare only gives you a playful wink, before going on with her evening.

Butterswirl has been hired as a courier this week, but her contractor doesn't trust her much yet despite knowing about the flyers she distributed, and she effectively only works as a private mailmare around Klugetown. She earns only a small amount of bits.

This week, Canopy Veil worked three days for Oasis, while Thread Lightly gave one day of her time. Canopy Veil made 332 bits by herself this week. Thread Lightly made it 388, and Sandy who seems in particularly high spirit this week made 807 bits. In addition, this week’s show brought you an additional 887 bits thanks to the presence of Thread Lightly and a bigger Sandy Rose.

This week: 1224 bits - 27 (expanses) – 600 (Swamp Lily’s shack) – 75 (Sandy’s gift) – 150 (Best Defense’s work)- 40(beauty products)- 350 (potion mk7) – 60(Suflury’s wage) -200 (Nails' room)-28(interest of a 280 bits loan)+332(income from Canopy Veil)+388(income from Thread Lightly)+807(income from Sandy)+887 (income from show)+ 40 (Butterswirl) + 80 (Nails) = 2188 bits.

You have one potion mk7 you made this week and on mk1 you keep in case of emergency.
Sulfury made progress this week, and she’ll complete her research about Exploding critical in in 3 weeks.
Swamp made progress this week, and she’ll complete her research about Natural Growth in 2 weeks. She will not be in town in the coming week.

Offers currently on the table:
For 3000 bits: you may buy an aircraft to send workers search for ingredients for 200 bits weekly. Having the merchant who currently sells you the ingredients give the orders guarantees you up too bits of free ingredients each week.
For 1000 bits: Nails will remove the first floor in your estate in all rooms in 1 week.
For 3000 bits: Nails will build a 24-feet high floor on top of your place in 2 weeks.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.
For 150 bits: Best Defense will add sleeping gas and freezing spell to catch trespassers on your estate.
For 650 bits: She'll personally track down any trespasser her traps fail to catch.
A mare of Klugetown is ready to pay you 300 bits if you can have her gain 2 feet and 1 inch.
Swamp Lily can bring Canopy Veil with her when she goes out of town to help her deal will her new stature.

The assembly with Oasis is this afternoon.

This week, for the wages, you give 98 bits to Thread Lightly 102 to Canopy Veil, 135 to Sandy Rose, and 50 bits to Butterswirl since you're willing to keep her income constant while she finds her marks at her new job, which leaves you at 1803 bits.

That's quite a bit of money, but you're gonna need more. And for that, you pitch the idea of Butterswirl participating in next week's show. Even as you make it sound like the clients will only like to see her transformed body like she does, this doesn't make her less uncomfortable at the idea.
"Of course, we won't have you do anything you don't want to do!" You add as you see Butterswirl's face getting red. "Sandy. Do you think it would be possible to have Butterswirl in the show without getting her into naughty stuff?"

"That's gonna be difficult…" Sandy ponders. "Things have been getting really saucy very fast in this show. But… We could have Butterswirl participate in some sort of first part were everypony remains well-behaved. That would work for one night, but the patrons are gonna feel kind of cheated if Butterswirl doesn't go all the way. We'll definitely need to come up with another show idea if we do that."
"Well…" Butterswirl cringes. "If we can have everypony behave well while I'm there, I guess I get make an effort…"

"Alright." You nod. "I'll take a decision. Now, there's something else I needed to ask you." You turn to Thread Lightly and Sandy Rose. "I want to examine Maafah's room more thoroughly this week. I think it would be better if I'm not alone. Would any of you be alright with accompanying me?"
"Sure thing, stud." Sandy says before giving a nudge into Thread's shoulder. "I'm sure Thread Lightly will have all the fortitude to spend this night alone with you."

Looking slightly confused, Thread Lightly eventually nods with a smile. "Hum, Yes. Of course I'll come with you Wizard. You can count on me."

After that, you can't help but to marvel at the size difference between you and your mares. With your diminutive size, your horn can't even come high enough to tickle Thread's thighs anymore. Her legs are thicker than you whole midsection, and by keeping your own hooves together, you can stand on a single of her hoof.
And when she sits down, you can barely peek over her the mass of her lying body. And her entrances, well… she could probably fit your whole heat inside any of them without much effort. But you keep that one comparison theorical… Instead, you demonstrate to everypony one single buttock of Thread Lightly can make a mattress for you.

A warm and comfortable mattress you can't help but to hug with you whole body.

However, while she doesn't flip out last time, Thread Lightly looks at you with some sort of bitter-sweet smile. You still can't fathom the exact reasons of her attitude. 

Then, it's time to use the potion you created this week. You first turn to Nails, but once you've explained her the whereabout of this potion, she gets a bit shy about drinking it.
"Yeah, I should have thought about it sooner." She states. "But I'd rather start getting into the 7 or 8 feet range first and avoid those weird effects since I have a business to run. I pass for this week."

You nod, and instead turn to Butterswirl who seems more enthusiast about drinking a potion. Fearing for your ceiling, she has it in the street which is mostly empty at this day and early hour.
As soon as she drinks it down, her body start to expand. Butterswirl stats giggling as her head rise in the air fast. You mush have hit several growth effects or hit the top of the growth range, because the blue pony breaks the 10 ft mark like nothing, and continues surging in height. There's also one more butt effect which start to affect her, and Butterswirl once again takes the lead among the most bottom-heavy of your employees.
At the same time, her body start to glow slightly.

"Oh? What's this? This is new!" Butterswirl grins excitedly as she observes herself. You notice her freckles lose their weird purple tint, and instead become a much more natural dark blue on her skin. Her mane also starts to grow. The tie on the left of her face breaks, and the point atop her head becomes too heavy to stand straight and falls in front of her eyes. As she pushes the hair away with a giggle, Butterswirl finds herself with a longer mane, descending to the base of her neck where it swirls into several big curls. 
At that point, she stops growing at an amazing 12 feet tall even.

But then, an ominous gurgle suddenly rises from Butterswirl’s belly. She immediately doubles over, a pained wince on her face.
“M-mister Wizard…” The pony says, sounding on the verge of throwing up. “I don’t feel so good all of a sudden… *hiccup*” 
As the spam shakes her, Butterswirl’s belly instantly inflates, doubling in size like a balloon. She watches her distended tummy in shock, and start to probe its surface with her hoof, but another hiccup shakes her and she inflates once more, getting rounder and almost reaching to the ground.
“What the… *hiccup*” Butterswirl’s belly touches the dirt. “M-mister Wizard! *hiccup*” she starts to panic as her expanding midsection starts to push her legs apart, and shows no sign of stopping. “I’m gonna… *hiccup*… *hiccup!*”

As more hiccups shake her, Butterswirl keeps inflating, her belly becoming a giant sphere which propels her upward until she almost reaches the height of the nearby buildings. And as Butterswirl’s whole body starts to rumble loundly like an earthquake, your other mares can only dive on the ground and cover behind whatever they can find.

You don’t have time to hide before Butterswirl explodes with a mighty boom.

Your body is thrown down on the ground by the blast, and you feel warm shapes hitting you at the same time. Opening your eyes, you realize you and the whole street are covered in Butterswirl.

Covered in many, many squirming and squealing 9-inches tall Butterswirls.

“Oh… Hey Mister Wizard, you’re looking rather big all of a sudden!” One of them, who landed on your belly says. Despite her little comment, she looks rather dazed by the situation. And she’s not the only one, and your other mares look around in shock at the confused army of tiny ponies occupying every inch of the street in a 30-feet radius. There must be hundreds of them… if not thousands!

>What do?

"Everyone!" You call "Gather all the Butterswirls you can and bring them inside!"

For the next ten minutes, you and your mares hurriedly herd all the tiny blue ponies. Luckily, it seems like the small Butterswirls soon somewhat understand the situation a little, and an ungodly swarm of dragonlings gets inside your estate in a relatively ordered manner. Luckily, their wings allow the Butterswirls to navigate around with relative ease and speed.

You try to have them all return to their room, but the chamber can't comfortably house all the little ponies. There's just too many of them! Definitely several thousands, you now realize in awe. Looking at their room, or at the commons which are now housing half of their number feels like gazing upon a full concert hall.

Examining the result of your potion, you realize it is the effect of a fumble which caused this mayhem. That means the potion you have in store may help you reverse that… if you find a way to apply it to all the tiny ponies at once. You also wonder what giving a potion to a single of them will do…
The other effects were respectively an increase in growth range, and raw growth. Finally, there's an effect which didn't show up yet, and which is probably responsible of Butterswirl's mane growing longer, and her freckles getting more natural. On a more technical level, this effect seems to be related with healing magic, so you're not sure how this one will affect your other mares specifically.

You decide this situation is strange enough to call for all the brainy mares at your disposal. Sulfury is a little reluctant to be taken out of her bed on Sunday, but the tiny Butterswirls you take out of your hat makes her curious enough to follow you.

She and Swamp Lily look baffled and the Butterswirl-infested common room. The throng of tiny ponies have started to calm down, and find their condition more funny that anything else. They've started counting themselves and assign numbers to distinguish each other. They're at 489 right now, and not even half of the Butterswirls have a number yet…

"And you say she just EXPLODED into that many little ones? Damn. I wish I could have seen that…" Sulfury regrets. "Regardless, I don't see why having them all drink one potion wouldn't work on reversing that. You're just gonna have to make sure the next potion will have enough volume to let all your tiny friend drink at once, and at the same place. That won't do for the potion you already have, but diluting a potion during the making should be a piece of cake."

"I concur." Swamp Lily nods. "And I think you should do it as soon ass possible, Wizard. I am quite afraid at what could happen should one of your tiny friends go missing. My opinion would be not to let them go out this week, lest something like a stray dog attacked them, or some ill-intentioned folk decided to kidnap one of them. If they have to, I think they should always travel in groups of moderate number, around 12 maybe. Too many to look like easy preys, but few enough one missing pony will immediately be noticed."

Canopy Veil decided to go back to her room, too afraid to hurt one of the tiny ponies. Meanwhile, Thread Lightly, Nails and Sandy Rose are discussing about what the estate is gonna work with all these Butterswirls around. The builder mare is ready to lend some old pillows and covers for the night. 

>What do?

"You're right, Lily." You nod. "We've got to be careful about this situation. I'll make a diluted potion for her next week. There's just gonna be some errand I need to do with her."

Taking a dozen Butterswirls with you, you pay a visit to her contractor, and show him why your mare won't be there to work next week. He looks quite surprised at the sight of a midget pony accompanied by 12 tiny version of the same ponies coming to tell him he spliced a pony into thousands of versions of herself, and he does not question it.
You think you're gonna keep one Butterswirls or two in your hat just so you can see that kind of reaction again… At least until you find a cure.

On the way back, you try to think of ways to affect all the Miniswirls with one potion. Mares have to drink your potion for it to work, so you think diluting it will be a better final solution than to put the 6 million tiny ponies in a gas chamber.
You also think back about Thread Lightly. While she seems to feel better now, you're almost sure there's still something that bothers her deep inside. You didn't try to force her to spill anything yet, and you'd rather let her decide when she's ready to tell it her if she can't sort it out by herself.

"I bet you're glad you didn't drink this one." You tell Nails once you're back. "Or do you? What would you have done with thousands of tiny copies of yourself?"
"Haha!" She laughs. "The first thing I'd have done would probably have been to kick the shit out of you, Wizard! I mean, that's probably what half of me would have done. So a thousand little Nails to pin you! But then… well, being really small isn't really a good idea on a construction site. Like your smelly friend said, mini-mes would be in danger at work. No, being scattered like that would just have been plain troublesome for me. I'm quite glad I had the insight to pass that potion, Wizard!"

After that, you announce to the mass of Butterswirls they have to remain home for the coming week, which makes them break in a concert of protestations. Still, some seem to understand the situation and calm the others, but this soon devolves in a myriad of arguments between the blue ponies. You also see around three hundred hooves raised for questions.
You feel like the governor of an unruly country right now…

Also, the count of Butterswirls was at 2671 when you made your announcement, and there's still around a third of them which still need their number. Paka was really confused as the sudden invasion of Butterswirls roughly his size, and soon he bolted away in one of the unoccupied room of the ground floor.

>What do?

Still, the mass of Butterswirls more or less agrees on the fact they demand entertainment, and it'll take more than your presence to keep them to go crazy over the week if they can't go outside. And besides, you can't keep taking care of them while you work, or while you go at the assembly of Oasis, which starts in about thirty minutes now.

As an answer to the trouble of your people, you pitch the idea of building a little village together, like in this old comic with the blue hooded ponies. You swear you'll go fetch the material as soon as you have time, which seems to satisfy them for now. In the meantime, Thread Lightly convinces Nails to bring her gramophone in the commons so the Butterswirls may attempt to beat the world record for the longest conga line in Equestria.

Also, your army of Butterswirls finally finished counting themselves. You're the proud boss of 4096 pint-sized Butterswirls.

Now, who or what shall you take with you to the assembly with Oasis?

>What do?

First, you decide to take two Butterswirls with you. You shall keep them safe in and out of your hat. Thread Lightly [spoiler]the Egyptian qt[/spoiler] as well as Canopy Veil will accompany you to the assembly. You also keep your mk1 potion with you, while Sandy and Nails will take care of the little ones.

The assembly of Oasis is held at their headquarters. While the architecture is old and the outside rather blank, all the walls inside are painted in bright patterns, some representing nature and bountifulness, as well as many scenes evocating ideals of generosity or kindness. The only missing piece would have been something about the elements of Harmony, but there's no such thing in here.

The place is large. Huge even. And still teeming with activity, as the assembly didn't warrant for the animal shelter, hospital and orphanage to stop functioning. If anything, they've been put to contribution a little, and you're politely greeted and shown the way to the place of the reunion by a scrawny colt when you arrive.

They chose the roof for the reception it seems. White cloth has been put up to shield the guests from the blazing sun. A buffet has also been prepared, with really fancy food and drinks for later, which looks a little off for a charity. The reception didn't start, but already around fifty ponies must be here. You immediately notice a jarring divide among crowd here. There's one large group consisting of about three quarters of the audience which look like rather average folks, and who discuss gleefully with each other, laughing and smiling.

But there's also a smaller group of a dozen ponies, all clad in expansive clothing, and who keep it to themselves. The discuss quietly, and you see some of them throw a haughty look at the larger group whenever they get a little loud. There's also a few fierce-looking ponies with them, which glare at you dubiously when you arrive.
"Oh!  There's Bleeding Heart over there! She's the first delegate of Oasis." Thread Lightly points at one of the ponies in the larger group. She seems to be having a pleasant discussion with other ponies. She's a pegasus mare with a long and wavy scarlet mane and eyes, while her coat is of a similar orange than Thread's.

>What do?

"Let's greet her." You say, and decide to ride on Thread's head. You certainly don't want to be mistaken for a lost orphan.

With both your companions being very noticeable, it isn't long before the large group notices you. Canopy soon finds friends of her, and you allow her to go chat with them while you remain with Thread. As much as you look around for familiar faces, and although the folk of Oasis look friendly enough, you cannot find any face you know already.

"Ah, Thread Lightly!" Bleeding Heart exclaims warmly as you arrive. Up close, you realize the mare must be roughly the same age as Sandy Rose. As she sees you atop Thread, her eyes go wide for a second. "I'm so glad you could come. And... You must be the Growth Wizard! A pleasure to meet you!" She says mechanically. She probably didn't expect a 30-inch growth wizard with 9-inch ponies atop his head.
"It's good to meet you too." You nod back with a smile. "I mean…" You feel a little awkward all of a sudden, as you never directly partook in activities of Oasis. "It's good to see some ponies care about each other, even in a place like Klugetown."

You fear it sounds a little empty, but Bleeding Heart smiles back at you. "Thank you. Frankly, I hope that someday everypony will decide to make the community better for everypony. And for that to happen, we must do our best to show all there is to gain in standing together!"

After that, you learn a little more about what your mares have been doing around at Oasis. The most recent project was about recuperating old furniture of all kinds and reusing the parts to cart new pieces, then selling them for funds.

While you talk, the rest of the audience arrives, and roughly a hundred ponies are here when Bleeding Heart excuses herself as has to make the opening speech.

After thanking everypony for coming and repeating what she told you about the ideals of Oasis, half a dozen ponies are invited to talk about the different actions of Oasis after Bleeding Heart. Things get a little gloomy from here, as it becomes quite obvious Oasis is struggling, to say the least. While every speaker praises the number and devotion of the associates, the short-comings of Oasis always comes with same word after that.
Money.
There's only so much ponies can do to feed the poor in a desert, and you realize Oasis is forced to use most of its work force in convoluted way to earn some bits, which are all spent in food and medicine, leaving little space for any other project than to keep the existing services afloat.

After that, another kind of pony comes forth to speak. Clad in a grey suit with a red tie, you learn that the large middle-aged pegasus is none of the than Goldfearther, mayor of Klugetown. The pony moves and speaks with the assurance of somepony who never takes no for an answer, and has to power to enforce such whims.

Still, today he speaks to congratulate all the associates of Oasis, and to renew his donation and those of his 'friends' to their cause. He's met with a warm round of applause from everypony, but then Goldfeather has a word about the few ponies who talked about expanding Oasis's range of action just earlier. Even though he sugarcoats it, anyone can understand the mayor do not wish for Oasis to become any kind of driving force in Klugetown, and that the current state of Oasis is the peak of what such an association should be according to him. Finally, he concludes by inviting everypony to help themselves at the buffet after his word.

After another round of applause, all the guests seem willing to take up the offer, regardless of their fanciness. Funny how food brings ponies together. While ponies of the two groups from earlier still don't talk together, the divide isn't nearly as visible as before.

>What do?

Without knowing anypony in here in particular, you decide to simply leave quietly with Thread, Canopy and your Miniswirls tucked snuggly beneath your hat.

Maybe you'll be able to help Oasis financially in the future, but first you need the money to make your own business grow.
You have a family of your own to take care about right now…

And that's in for this week. As always feel free to input any idea, command of feedback. For the commands I already noted, you will create a potion mk8 for 400 bits, and Canopy will spend the week with Swamp Lily.
See you later



Usually so quiet in the day, your estate feels like a beehive this week. While it’s certainly refreshing, you’re not sure you’re gonna have the energy to keep up with this forever.

On the first day of the week, you supply the community of Butterswirls with building material. Even though Nails made you a price, we are still talking about enough stuff for four thousands little individuals. You spent 200 bits on materials so the Butterswirls could make one of the empty rooms from the ground floor into their village.

The formidable workforce began to move, but soon the Butterswarm realized they didn’t agree on what to build it at all. After nearly descending into a civil war you helped avoid, the first Butterswirl election took place, and Butterswirl 3729 managed to get a majority for her project. It noticeably included the creation of a nap-zone made with softest blankets available where the light of the afternoon hit the ground, as well as housing hanging from the ceiling for a part of the community.

Construction went well for a while. With their number, little houses started climbing on the walls like mushrooms after only a day. However, the community, once again descended into violence when it was found Butterswirl 3729 abused her position to get better materials for her house and those of her friends. Luckily, Butterswirl 1808 managed to prove the existence of a plot from Butterswirl 0666 who stole the tag from Butterswirl 3729. In her trial, Butterswirl 0666 grumpily said they shouldn’t have given her this stupid number if they didn’t wanted her to do evil things. A defense that sent her straight to the newly built jail of Butterburg (The new name of the Butterswirl settlement).

Butterburg then thrived for the last three days of the week, the inhabitants developing a liking for organized debates and public philosophical discussion while you provided the food to their otherwise unsustainable indolent lifestyle.
A funny week, all in all.

While the Butterswirl ethno-state isn’t facing any political crisis, you make sure to visit them and maybe try to get a little closer to the blue pony, even if you’re not sure how this is gonna play out when they all become one big Butterswirl again. Most importantly, you compliment their new mane-style. Even if a tiny fraction of them has already changed in back, or even tried something entirely new, the Butterswirls decide to put the matter to debate. After some passionate and sometimes heated discussion, it appears 56% of Butterswirl agree to keep the new manestyle when they’re all big again. Only 12% actually wanted to go back to the ancient style, while 29% wanted to change their mane more often. It appears that even though they like change, the Butterswirls are a bit lazy about doing their mane differently every day…

You also, make a compliment about her massive... well, proportionally-speaking… rump. Instead of putting this matter to debate, you observe some sort of flustered wave spread in the crowd, where each of the Butterswirls are surrounded by the massive butts of other Butterswirls after all. While they react to you compliment with a sheepish embarrassment, you notice some Butterswirls start to eye the plump buttocks of their peers, as though they just noticed how pleasant to the eye these actually were. You soon witness a couple of them growing bigger from realizing their proximity with so much amazing asses. And as the butts swell even bigger, the growth propagates to the nearby Butterswirls which are faced with giant growing butts, and soon a good half of the room’s Butterswirl have reached a foot and 4 inches.

But this all stops here, as the place becomes too small for the growing Butterswirls, and the threat of destroying the newly built village stop further arousal from spreading.
You’re then put to trail for nearly causing the destruction of Butterburg public property, but thanks to the excellent defense of Butterswirl 4095 and Butterswirl 4096, the two Butterswirls you keep in your hat, you’re only found guilty of being a cheeky flatterer.

About half the week in, half a dozen Butterswirls come to your lab one morning. They look concerned, and carry some sort of long item wrapped in cloth. The words “For Wizard Only” are scribbled on the package.
“We…  Uhm… We found that in Maafah’s room.” One of them start to explain awkwardly. “We made a game of do or dare and had to spend the night in here, and we found that under the bed.”

The blue ponies look alright, so you don’t say anything about them breaking in the zebra’s room, and focus on the mysterious package instead. You even send your Hat-Swirls away when you decide to open this on.
Opening the package, you shiver as you discover a long knife. Out of its sheath, the weapon looks deadly sharp. And there’s a note scribbled on a piece of paper with the weapon.
“No blade can harm a spirit.” You read “But no spirit can walk the land alone either. When we meet again, and when the time is right, I want you to strike me, Wizard. Please. Do not fail.”

A very disturbing message to say the least. Even though you’re in the safety of your lab, you can’t help but to look around for anypony who could have been observing you. You then stash the weapon away where you’re confident nopony will look, still unsure about what to do with it.

This week, two new mares wishing to join your employees also visited you.

Coal Vein. (5’1’’)
The beefy-looking earth-mare doesn’t look very talkative, and remains with a fierce look on her face for the whole time you talk to her. She answers evasively when you ask her about her current condition and motivations, and only declares she ‘need the bits and a place to crash’. You can make out several scars on the mare. Way too much of them to pass as the usual hazards of life, actually…
She doesn’t really sound enthusiastic at the idea of working with you. But then… she doesn’t look like the kind of mare to ever sound enthusiastic about anything at all.

While she readily admits she has little experience in the job, she states she’s ready to play the part and learn from your other workers. She even offers you a demonstration, and you stop her to tell her you’ve got no problem to believe her as she started coming closer to you with a predatory smile on her face.

Sandy looked a little wary of this mare. She tells you she remembers Coal Vein is only of the mayor’s underlings. She’s not somepony important, just some disposable hired hoof for odd jobs, but Sandy fears it might have been the mayor who ordered her to come here. And the mayor taking an interest into your works might mean there’s troubles ahead, regardless if you hire Coal Vein or not…

Velvet Pillow. (4’2’’)

You look in awe at the pegasus mare who stands in front of you when you open the door one night. Her white coat shines with an almost golden aura in the dark, and her long mane undulates in the air like mist when she moves, almost as the mane of a princess would. She walks slowly with a confident grace in her steps, and with just enough sway to her hips to radiate with sensuality without crossing the bounds of decency. And to top it all, the mare states she came here to put herself at your service.

She explains to you she arrived in town spread love to its inhabitants, and decided your offer was the best way to achieve that. Her voice resonates in your head like subtle music, and you find yourself in a bit of a daze as you listen to her, and end up asking few questions.
Still she ended up describing in length how sad she is about the state of Klugetown, and how much she wished ponies would just love each other more. While her speech reminds you a little of Oasis, hers is clearly is much more simplistic, and you doubt there’s any ties between this mare and the charity.

All that, you only manage to think about it when the mare leaves your place, as you only then realize you were hanging on her every words before, almost like you were hypnotized. A chill crawls on your spine at the thought. This was definitely not natural… 

Sandy says she has never heard of this mare before, and that she must indeed have just arrived in town.

Also, you decide to inquire a bit more about the health effect you discovered this week. After asking your two Hatswirls, their freckles indeed turned purple as a side effect of a potion she tested in the past. They slightly regret the previous color, but it’s not too much of a change to bother further. You theorize the most recent potion treated the purple dots as some sort of defect in Butterswirl’s body, and thus healed it.
But then, you wonder about how it’s gonna affect your other mares, and whether turning off this healing effect may give Butterswirl her purple freckles back, for example.

“Yes, that’s one good catch you made there.” Sulfury seems genuinely interested after inspecting the notes you made on the subject. “But I think this effect is closer to ‘health’ than ‘healing’, and will bring the drinker closer to a state of perfect health more than it will 'heal' them. I may be wrong, but I think that would also mean the results can be reversed by cancelling this effect on a later potion. And also, this effect will be less powerful on ponies who are already naturally healthy.”
“That could even cure both my eye and Canopy’s eyes if I’m right. Although, I doubt only one iteration of this effect will manage that. I’d say maybe 3 times for my eye, and 4 times for Canopy Veil. I’ll probably buy you a potion if you end up getting three times this health effect by the way. ” She tells you with a smile.

On a side note, you hear Thread Lightly is done with her mysterious work. Although she says she’d rather wait until the weekend to show you if you wished to see it.
“It’s a bit of a drag to put on, to tell you truth, wizard…” She explains with a half-smile.

This week, Sandy Rose made 960 bits, while Thread Lightly made 646 bits. Neither decided to work for Oasis this week, and with only two ponies who didn’t change size, no show was organized either. It seems the advertisement you made in other parts of Equestria is starting to pay off, but sadly, you’ve got few ponies available to use this opportunity to the fullest. Canopy Veil was away in the wetlands with Swamp Lily this week. The two mares just came back this morning, your employee looking exhausted.
“I didn’t know the wetlands were such a dangerous place… There’s no way I could have survived even a night without Swamp Lily!” She tells you, sounding glad to be back in the relatively civilized place that is Klugetown. “And I’m not even sure I made much progress with what she tried to teach me either...”

“Do not worry.” Swamp Lily says. “Of course the beginning was going to be hard. Just like walking for the first time. Even standing on one’s legs seem impossible at first, but as soon as it’s done, walking and running come naturally. Trust me, Canopy Veil. You’re doing well, and I’m confident only two more weeks will be enough.”
After smiling at the encouragement, Canopy immediately goes for a shower.

In the morning, you also delivered the potion to the town-mare, and after drinking the potion and reaching 6’1’’, she happily gives you the 300 bits the two on you agreed on.
This week, you make an mk8 potion, which you diluted into a cubic meter of potion for all the Butterswirls to drink.

You also made an mk3 potion for Nails, without foregoing any effect on her own accord.

You still have your mk1 potion in stashed away.

Sulfury made progress this week, and she’ll complete her research about Exploding criticals in in 2 weeks.

Best Defense equipped you estate with traps to catch any trespasser for 150 more bits.

This week : 1803 bits - 27 (expanses) ) – 150 (Best Defense’s work)- 20(beauty products)- 400 (potion mk7)- 200 (Building Butterburg) – 100 (feeding the Butterswarm) ) – 60(Suflury’s wage) -200 + 300 (selling one potion mk 2 – confidence – aroused growth) – 150 ( potion mk 3) + 960 (income from Sandy) + 646 (income from Thread Lightly) – 121 (Sandy's wag) – 90 (Thread's wage) = 2191 bits.

Offers currently on the table:
For 3000 bits: you may buy an aircraft to send workers search for ingredients for 200 bits weekly. Having the merchant who currently sells you the ingredients give the orders guarantees you up too bits of free ingredients each week.
For 1000 bits: Nails will remove the first floor in your estate in all rooms in 1 week.
For 3000 bits: Nails will buils a 24-feet high floor on top of your place in 2 weeks.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.
For 500 bits: Best Defense personally track down any trespasser her traps fail to catch.
Swamp Lily can bring Canopy Veil with her when she goes out of town to help her deal will her new stature. Canopy Veil still needs to spend 2 week with Swamp Lily.
Coal Vein is available for hire if you renovate a room.
Velvet Pillow is available for hire if you renovate a room.
You can borrow up to 2000 bits with a 10% interest if you can pay it back next week.

>What do?

It's time to make Butterswirl whole again.

Fearing she might break though the ceiling, you decide to take this outside. While building Butterburg, the Butterswirls also made sure to prepare themselves the thousands of tiny bowls required for this operation. While Sandy, Thread and Canopy watch the sides of the street, you proceed to distribute the content of your newest potion to all the tiny blue ponies at once.

Once you're completely sure everypony has her share of the potion, you say goodbye to your hatswrils with a double hug, and they all drink their potion.

As they consume the magic drink, All the Butterswirls Immediately start to grow. Their nine-inches frames rise ever so slightly, but soon a wave on unease spread in the crowd as no Butterswirl seem to rejoin in any manner.

That is, until two Butterswirls touch each other inadvertently, and are instantly drawn together as one bigger blue pony. 
"Quick!" You hear one Butterswirl immediately shout. "Everyone jump on that big Butterswirl while the potion still works!"

Almost instantly, all the Butterswirl start to rush to the middle of their group where the blue ponies have started merging. The ground starts to rumble, as one big Butterswirl emerge… no, one huge Butterswirl… No, one gigantic Butterswirl start to rise in the air! Her size expands explosively as the little Swirls fly and disappear into her, adding their mass to the main Butterswirl. She soon looms way larger than the 12 feet she had just before fragmenting. 

You feel the air grow heavy with power and magic as she grow to 13, then 14, then 15 feet as the last Butterswirls get into the big one.
Once they're all one again, Butterswirl is standing at 15 feet and 3 inches, tall enough to peek over a one-story house. Her huge eyes glow like the sun, and as these look down on you, you feel time crawl to a halt as a crushingly presence fall on you. But after a second, you feel the burden ease on you, as though the immense power you felt now gently hold you in its hoof. 

"Wizard…" You hear thousands of voices speaking in perfect harmony directly to your brain. "It is us, Butterswirl. Listen carefully, because we don't have much time. Right now, the minds of all the smaller Is are connected, and together we can see further than anypony else. But this state is unstable, and whatever we may understand right now will be lost to us when all of our minds fuse completely. This shock will probably make the memories I have of last week disappear completely too."
A bitter sweet smile appears on Butterswirl's face at this point.

"So we thought we might as well help you instead. For the little time we have, we can help you reach further realms of knowledge that you can attain alone, Wizard."
You feel the connected minds of four thousand Butterswirls all around you, and as they connect with you, they allow you to briefly gaze upon the secrets of the world.

>Choose one.

>Whenever you brew a new potion, you may add one additional effect of your choice among the effects you already discovered (except adding a new dice, criticals and fumbles)

>You acquire the ability to communicate via telepathy and a limited capacity to read minds.

>The alchemical secret to transmute metal into gold is revealed to you. You may produce a handsome amount of bits out of basically nothing should you not brew any potion one week.

>Deny Butterswirl's offer, and instead try with all your will to help Butterswirl become one mind again with as little trouble as possible. You've got no idea how this is gonna turn out.

You're tempted, really, by the offers of the Butterswirl hivemind, but feeling her readily accept impending pain on herself just for you… you'd rather do everything in your power to keep her from harm instead.

"What?" You hear the distressed minds around you blurt in reaction to your feelings. "But… this is too dangerous! This is thousands of minds which are going to collapse into one! You can't possibly make a difference on your own. That is a folly Wizard!"
"Of course I won't do it on my own." you mentally state. "That's why I'm gonna need all of you to help me!"

You feel a wave of confusion through the minds of Butterswirl, but eventually you feel the glimmer of hope, and determination ignite through them.
Without further words, you feel the mass of minds bringing you further you inside them, and your own perception is able to materialize a representation of the state of the blue mare's mind.

It looks like a massive constellation of blue stars in the void of the spirit, linked together by silver threads. You feel every single light resonate with each other in harmony, producing the incredible thinking power you've been sensing in Butterswirl. However, you can feel each little soul straining to keep themselves separated from each other. It takes a great deal of effort for each mind to prevent the whole construction to collapse on itself, and there's no doubt the shock of the first merging minds is gonna prevent them for resisting the staggering gravitational pull any more. With how many Butterswirls there is, the souls collapsing into one will be an incredibly violent event.

Which is why you have to act fast, while each Butterswirl spirit still has the strength to act in a coordinate manner.
You focus on the metaphorical center of the vast web of soul, both you and Butterswirl silently agreeing on the possible ways to proceed. But since you have to act fast, you mostly have to make things up as you go.

The minds of Butterswirls have to merge, so you first have 2 minds to be relieve from the stress of their bounds, allowing them to merge in a safer way. But this is just the beginning of a chain reaction which you fear your will alone will not be enough to contain. Already the stress on your own soul has doubled, and you feel more Butterswirls being drawn to you.

You merge two more, and then four more. Already you feel like you wouldn't last long with the strain of 8 minds to contains, but you have to protect the minds of Butterswirl which are drawn to the amalgam you already created, even if they now come by the dozen. 8 more, 16 more, 32 more, 64 more… and already you feel like your brain is being fried by the amount of spirits circuiting though your own mind. You start to mentally scream with abandon as the pain become too much to silence when you keep 128 Butterswirls from collapsing on themselves violently.

And the pain only increases exponentially. You feel like your being is being shredded to pieces under the weight of an impossibly huge amount of Butterswirls. And yet, despite the agony of your soul, somewhere in the back of your mind, there's a thought. 

The pressure, the pain, the feeling of something much… BIGGER than you crushing you… Yes, this what it must feel like to be crushed by a 500 ft tall mare butt…. This is it!
You're not in the middle of a collapsing star. You're being crushed by the planet-sized and growing butt of Butterswirl!

About to break only a second ago, a second wind suddenly allow you to endure the excruciating task of protecting the Butterswirls. The pain is no more breaking your soul, but instead feeding your imagination with the image an exponentially bigger Butterswirl pinning you under her rump. 256 minds… since she's currently 15 feet tall, that's like a four thousand feet tall Butterswirl over your body! And this is not the end… 512… that's 8000 feet of Butterswirl. 1024… 16000 FEET! You're being crushed by a pony who's soon gonna be over 6 miles tall! This is what you've always wished for. Yes, this is how you want to go.

You welcome the final burst of minds descending like a meteor over you, squishing you under a pressure far too great for the common mind to imagine. But as a growth wizard, you can only revel in the fantastic weight of Butterswirls you hold from collapsing on themselves, and only after the final merge of minds take place, you feel your mind fading to black.

The next thing you feel is an unpleasant, yet familiar smell of rotten vegetation.
"Are you with us, Wizard" Your eyes flutter open as you hear the voice of Swamp Lily next to you. However, there's something else. At the same time, you dimly feel yourself climbing a flight on tiny stairs, a hopeful tingle in your heart.
And when the door of Thread's room where you've been placed opens, you already know it's Butterswirl who's coming.

"Mister Wizard! You're awake!" The blue pony exclaims, before running to give you the bigger nuzzle you've ever had. She's standing at more than 15 feet tall, so you're barely bigger than even the blue pony's eye, and you can hug her soft cheek with your whole body. You feel relief inside you.

At that point, you also realize Sandy Rose, Canopy Veil, Thread Lightly and even Nails are there, all of them looking glad to see you awake too.

"Woah…" You blurt, still dizzy. "Uhm… What just happened?"
"Well, from our perspective, you screamed, you creamed yourself, and you fainted with the grin of a colt who just got a one-way ticket to paradise on your face." Sandy Rose says with a snicker. "We were not sure whether we had to worry at first."
"But then Butterswirl explained you helped her fix her mind from the many little hers" Thread continues. "And that you did something very dangerous and… I'm not sure I understand it completely..."

"Neither do I" Swamp Lily states. "But they brought your unconscious body to me, Wizard. That was roughly 10 hours ago, and soon I realized there was little I could do besides making sure your body remained well while your mind recovered. You put your own soul in the way of formidable harm, didn't you? If the words of Buttereswirl are true, you could have died there, and… no offence, but I've got trouble imagining how you survived through this until the end."

"Yes, you did it Mister Wizard!" Butterswirls grins at you. "It's a little weird, but I remember everything all the little mes did this week! I remember all the building, all the discussion, all the time I spent in and on your hat… There's so many memories, but I remember them all! And I…" She blushes slightly at this point, and you feel a welling in your heart. "I'm still not sure why you decided to take so much risk for me… but I'm really happy with how I am right now! Thanks a lot Mister Wizard!"

It's the evening already, and although your brain still feels a little sluggish, you're overall feeling alright.

>What do?

"Ah… yes I remember now." You feel the images coming back to your mind. "I remember… when all the minds of the little Yous were connected. It was like stargazing, except every star was you. Do you remember that too?"
"Well, sorta." Butterswirl answers. "I remember being that way. I mean, I remember the many mes being connected at once, and I can picture a blurry feeling about it, but the not the super complex things I was thinking about."

"Hum… I understand." You say. And indeed, the strange feeling Butterswirl pictures in her head is in yours too. It seems like the experience connected the two of you somehow. "Also, I do not mean to dwell on the past, but do you think you could have given me one of these awesome powers you talked about before I helped you?"
"Heh, sorry Mister Wizard, but the answer is no!" She giggles. "You traded them away because you were worried about me. Now you're left with only one big-old happy Butterswirl. No refunds!"
"Eh. I'm alright with this." You shrug. "I figured you had enough of wizards taking advantage of you for their own gains. How is Butterswirl Prime doing?"
"Better than ever!" She beams. "And that's all thanks to you. This Wizard can take advantage of me whenever he wants!"

Butterswirl hugs you again, and you feel a flutter in your chest. You really love the pony you're hugging right now.

"But still…" You ask one more question. "Does that mean you just gained four thousand weeks of experience in an instant? That's about 80 years! How are you dealing with that?"
"Well… that's hard to describe on the spot, and I'm probably still a bit confused about it. I haven't really tried to any kind of experiment about it. Maybe… I'm smarter? That's doesn't seem like something a smart pony would say, though... But one thing I'm sure about is that I'm way craftier that last week. I mean, I did build an entire village by myself since then! Nails better watch out for me!"

After that, you decide to change the subject. And ask… how did you end up is Thread's room of all places, for example.
"Well, she was the first to pick you up when you fainted." Butterswirl explains. "And when we brought you inside, she said this would be the best place for you to rest..."
As the blue pony says that, you feel a slight tingle of hostility toward the orange mare in your heart…

"Oh. So it's not because you wanted to show me that piece you were working on?" You say before Thread can answer.
"Hum!" The orange mare is surprised by the sudden change of subject. "I didn't… but I guess if you want to see, I could show you now. Just let me a moment to prepare please."
Your whole lot then leaves the room. Butterswirl would have gladly taken you on her head, but she's already having to bend not to hit the ceiling.

While you wait for Thread to be ready, you decide to give Nails her potion, which she drinks on the spot.
"Ha! It's about time!" She exclaims as she finally grows. Having seen your employees get bigger  several times already, Nails is less surprised than your average by the process, and grins wickedly as she sees her backside expand too.

The growth stops once at 8' even, but the final spurt, in addition to taking a lewd moan out of Nails, propels her to 9 feet and 3 inches.
"Oh, wow!" She exults, standing on her back legs to touch the ceiling with a victorious smile on her face. "That was hot! That big ass of mine is hot, and I feel legendary about it!"

You've seen mares ascend to bigger heights already, but seeing Nails grow for the first time was really a pleasant thing to witness. And Butterswirl seem to have appreciated the show too, as a red blush has formed on her face, and she grew 2 more inches while looking at the tan unicorn grow.
"W-woah…" The blue pony blurts in awe. "You became really pretty, Nails. And so big too…"

"Haha! Look who's talking!" Nails cackles. "But yeah, thanks for the compliment. Although I'm craving for something else than words right now…" 
Nails turn to Sandy Rose before you can react. "Hey, Sandy! How about you show me the pros of having a bigger body? I got twenty bits to share for a good time. You're feeling up for it?"

"Well, my rates are now above that price… but for a friend, that'll do!" She chuckles, and then the two large mares head to Nail's chamber. You feel a hot draft all of a sudden, and Butterswirl must have felt it too as she has now reached almost 20 feet.

You wanted to talk to Sandy about the mayor, but it looks like this will have to wait. Once Butterswirl has calmed down a little, you come back to Thread's room instead.

"Alright, don't laugh…" She tells you through the door. "… but I really wanted to try one of these myself. Alright. Come in!"
Opening the door, you're faced with Thread Lightly wearing a long dress with some beautiful lacy legwear. She's still looking at herself in the mirror, looking somewhat… unphased by what she sees.

"So…" She turns to you with a slightly tense smile. "What do you think, Wizard?"

>What do?

"I think it's a fantastic design, Thread!" You declare "But you don't seem so happy about it yourself..."
The orange mare lets out a sigh. "Yeah, I guess it's pretty…"

"But…?" You encourage her to voice her thoughts.
"But…" She sighs again. "I think I look… silly in that. I mean, I always liked to work on such designs. Before I was here, I was often ordered to make dresses of that kind. Always for other mares though. I could never have one for myself. But now I've finally been able to make a dress the way I wanted and wear it, I feel… well, silly. In a… 'what now?' kind of way. I don't go to balls, I don't even like dancing! I always wanted to have a beautiful dress for myself at the time I made them for other mares, but now I realize I have no use for such a dress…"

>What do?

"Well, you have it now, so it may as well see the dance floor once before you outgrow it. How about I take you out this week and do just that?" You offer "Just the two of us."
"Just the two of us…?" Thread repeats, a glint in her eye.
"Yes. You and me… uhm…" You feel a strange angry tingle in your heart once more. "As I said, I'm taking you out to dance."

Thread Lightly stares back at you for a moment, a hopeful lighting on her face. But then she suddenly sulks, and looks away.

"No." She shakes her head. "I told you. I don't like dancing."
On these words, Thread starts to undo the laces on her hooves.
"I think I'm gonna give that dress to Sandy. It should fit her, and she'll have a better use for it."

>What do?

"Thread, you look great in that dress." You declare, trying to encourage her. "You deserve to go out in that dress and I guarantee you'll love the dancing once it starts. Listen, we're both going to miss out on a lovely evening together if keep letting the way you used to be neglected deter you from pursuing you dreams."

Thread Lightly takes a sharp breath in.
"You mean it?" She asks with the tip of her lips. "When you tell me about pursuing my dreams?"

"Of course! Let me show you." You invite her to come closer and hold you hoof "Let's dance. Here and now!"
Thread Lightly looks at the ground for some time. Before staring at you again. You feel your smile fail you as you're met with cold determination in the mare's eyes.

"Wizard… I decided…" She still looks apprehensive "I'm going to tell you the truth. I lied when I said I didn't like dancing."

"I hate it"

"I hate dancing. Just like I hate the ponies who dance in Klugetown. I hate these ponies who only care about appearances. I hate Klugetown!" Thread Lightly starts screaming. "I hate the burning sands! I hate the thieves and thugs everywhere! I hate seeing poor ponies starve in the streets! I hate having to sell my body to get money! And I hate all those stallions who only see me as a hole to fuck! I hate them the most! I'd crush them under my hoof if I could! I hate them so much!"

You stand dumbstruck, in utter shock after the outburst of Thread Lightly. The orange mare takes a few seconds to catch her breath, and then she continues talking, in a slightly more collected manner.
"There's only one thing I still like in Klugetown. No, something I love…" Slowly, she lies in front of you, and leans to get her face to your level. She stares at you with her big, glistening eyes. "I love you, Wizard. That's the only reason I'm still here."

"It is thanks to you I have a name. It is thanks to you I got enough nerve to decide whether I liked something or hated something. Before, I just behaved how ponies told me to. I never even took the time to ask myself… What do I want? What am I gonna do? What about my future? I would never think about that before. I was taught not to, and even forgot I even could."

Thread Lightly stares in your eyes with determination.
"But now, because you asked me all those questions about my desires, I have it all sorted out. Listen Wizard, I want to get out of Klugetown. And I want to go with you. I want to travel and discover Equestria. I want us to take photos and make an album. I want to see Canterlot, Las Pegasus, the Crystal Emprire, and all those other places Butterswirl told me about. I want to spend lovely evenings with you there! And then, I want us to settle down and have a place of our own. I want to cook the harvest of what we will plant in our garden. I want to watch the fireplace with you while it snows outside. I want to start a family. I want our foals to grow into wholesome ponies. I want to grow old with you. I want to see our children have children, and then their children have children too. I want… to be with until the very end, Wizard!"

A sob shakes Thread Lightly after she tells you all this. She looks at the air next to you for a second, and then show you a desperate smile. 
"Here. That's what I dream about… But even if now I know what I want, we can't have everything we wish for, can we? Then, I am gonna ask you."

"Please, Wizard." She says shakily, tears in her eyes. "Won't you take me out? Out of this wicked town, to never come back again? Just you and me?"

>What do?

You feel a flurry of emotions run through your head. You love Thread lightly, obviously. But she’s not the only thing you love. You want to run away with her, you want to live happily and do all these wonderful things she told you about, and many more… And you can’t afford to remain silent about it tight now.
“Thread…” You gulp inadvertently, feeling the weight of the words in your mouth. “I want to go with you. Just imagining myself spending my life with you, this is all I’ve always wanted in the end. I would go with you right now...  but…” Thread cringes. She dreaded you would say this word.
“…But I have responsibilities too. Here. In Klugetown, toward all our friends. I can’t just leave everything behind all of a sudden.”

“I know…” She sobs, closing her eyes bitterly. “I know you have your own dreams. I know that all too well… We can’t both get what we want.”
“Yes, we can.” You respond. “I’m telling you we can. We can find a way, Thread. If you just listen to me, I’m sure we can work something out. Listen. I want to go with you, and I want to give you that life you desire out of Klugetown. And I’m gonna make it happen.”

Thread’s eyes go wide for an instant. You attempt to take her face in a hug, but her bitter look returns as you move, and she stops you with a hoof.
“You say that now… But what can you do?" She asks sternly. "I know you’ll never stop making these potions. That’s what you’ve been dedicating yourself to since you arrived in this place. You won’t leave Klugetown for good. That’s why you won’t come with me…”
“Thread. You’re selling myself short.” You retort, determined. “I’m telling you. I want to go with you. This would be a dream come true to have a life away from Klugetown with a mare like you, and I’m gonna do what it takes to make both that happen and be able to continue working on my project in this city. Everpony here is big enough to fend for themselves. Sandy and Nails can take care of the estate for a while. We’ve got Swamp Lily and Sulfury who could help us find a way around the specifics. I just need some time to figure it all out...”

You can feel it. You can see Thread’s face slightly light up with hope. But still she has trouble believing you’d actually accept to leave even part of your research for her.
“How much time?” She asks hostilely, frowning at you. “A month? A year? Until you finish your research? I waited for all my life already, so I can wait a few more decades? Is that it?”

“Thread… This isn’t like you…” You shake your head in dismay, and the orange mare seems to lose some of her spite. “Ponies count on me in here too. You know that. I’d love to run away with you, but I have to think of the consequences. Won’t you… wait for me? Not even for a week?”
Thread looks to the ground and lets out a sigh of frustration.

“Sorry, but now I got it all out of me… I don’t think I can't simply stay in Klugetown like I used to. Everything feels wrong now. I can’t stand it anymore! I have enough! I’m going tonight!”
“Wizard, won’t you… go with me?” She asks you once more, with the tip of her lips. “Just tell Sandy you’ll be back in a few days. She’s a big girl, and everyone else too, you said it yourself. Just go with me, at least until we reach somewhere, anywhere, away from Klugetown where I can stay, and then you can come back here and make plans. Won’t you do that for me?”

>What do?

Your turn it up in your head, and eventually… you have to make the difficult decision.

"Sorry Thread, but I can't go with like that." You admit to the large mare. "Won't you wait for me at all? Not even for a day?"
The mare shakes her head.
"Then… You will have to go alone Thread." You state. And both of you know at this point this is final.

Thread Lightly closes her eyes, and weeps in silence. She then stands up and lets out a heavy sigh. Maybe it is because you gave her a definitive answer, but she seems calmer all of a sudden. The urgency with which she wished to leave transformed into a cold determination.

"Then… I better start packing my stuff…" She says with melancholy.
You offer her some help. Thread refuses any bit you offer her, and takes only her own bits, a map, some food, water, a bedroll, and her sewing kit. She intends to travel north but isn't sure where she'll settle yet.

As Thread announces her decision to everyone, they are surprised, but they respect their friend's will. The rest happens fast, and feels like a blur in your memory. Before long, your little group accompanies Thread to the edge of town. There, she gives on final hug to each pony present. She squeezes you one last time in under the pit of her neck, and then places you back on the ground.
"Thanks for everything, Everypony." She says, on the verge of tears. "I'll make sure to send you a letter once I've found some place to stay. For now… I must say Goodbye."

All has been said after that, and Thread Lightly leaves in silence. She walks at first, but after throwing one last pleading look behind, she starts to trot away north. Her form soon dwindles in the golden sands as she goes further away, and then her form disappears in the shifting shadows the twilight sun casts among the dunes.

You all return home after that in a heavy silence.

>What do?

Thread Lightly is gone. 

You still have trouble even accepting that, and even think about running after her despite the fact you have little chance to find her back for now. And even if you did find her, this wound only drag the goodbye out, and make everypony even more miserable. You'll have to wait for her to contact you, whether you like it or not.
The rest of your mare seem more surprised than anything else, and will probably get over it reasonably fast, even if they all genuinely liked the orange mare. Only Butterswirl seems ready to burst in tears at any moment. Ever since Thread told you her true feelings, you felt like the powerful emotions you experienced imprinted hard on Butterswirl. You did not feel any jealousy from the blue mare past that point, and her sadness genuinely resonates with yours right now. 

Back to your estate, you're not sure whether you should drown your sorrow in ice cream, drinks or Sandy's pussy. Or maybe you'll just cry alone in your lab. Eventually, you settle for convoluted political plots and ask Sandy about Oasis and the mayor, and what kind of relationship they have.

"Eh. I don’t really care about that kind of things." Sandy shrugs. "I guess the mayor doesn't want to spend too much money on charities. Is it any more complicated than that?"
"Yes, there is more to it than that actually." Canopy Veils intervenes, a serious look on her face. "Goldfeather has the tittle of mayor, but truly he is the lord of this place. He has dozens of thugs, thieves and informants everywhere in town, and all the judges and guards of Klugetown are at his hoof. All in all, this could pass for an army. Thanks to that power, Goldfeather as well as some of his close friends have gathered immense wealth by exploiting the mines and being the trading post between the north and the south of the world. Goldfeather only likes his gold and power."

 "To him, the success of Klugetown as a city is only measured by the amount of riches it can amass through trade and mining. Maybe he wants to make Klugetown some sort of city state in the future, or maybe even a full-blown kingdom. Nobody knows whether he has that kind of ambition, though, or if he simply gets more and more gold for the sake of it."

"Now, in his mind, Oasis's purpose is only to keep the misery of Klugetown to an acceptable level, so the paupers and orphans don't clog the streets, and so diseases don't break out everywhere. But he fears Oasis gaining to much momentum might aggregate the ponies who are dissatisfied with his laws, and create an opposing force. I won't go into detail, but the reason he can have so many thieves at his order is partly thanks to the ambient misery. Miners also get ridiculously low wages for their toil, and they often end up in the hospital of Oasis, their back broken by too much charge, or their lungs shredded by the dust. Thus, Goldfeather makes sure Oasis keeps having shortcomings, and can only do the bare minimum, preventing anypony to imagine any alternative to his rule coming from here. All while preventing any significant outbreak from famished and desperate ponies to arise." 

"There's a good share of paranoia in that way of thinking, but it's most common among conspirers to look out for conspiracies against them." Canopy Veil concludes.

After that, you also decide to check the effect Butterswirl had with the potion to keep your mind away from Thread Lightly, and discover many good things happened with this potion. First, you scored for one more dice, and from now one there will be 4 random effects per potion, and 5 for Butterswirl. The growth range also increased twice, and you also struck another new growth effect twice. Your calculations show this one increases the potencies of all other growth effects by 10%, meaning the total growth of your potion just increased by 20%. There's also another new effect which should increase the… libido of the drinker. Although, since she's sharing the grief you hold after Thread's departure, it doesn't really show on Buttereswirl right now… 

You also think you should explore the bond you now share with the blue pony, who now stands at a massive 15 feet and 3 inches, but you're not exactly sure where to start.

>What do?

"Butterswirl. Since I helped you this morning, I think I am… connected to you. Do you feel that too?" You ask her.
"Yes." She answers. "I realized it very clearly the moment you woke up earlier. The was another mind in my head… At that moment, I felt a consciousness awaken, and somewhat I knew it was you. I new you had finally come out of your coma. That's how I knew."

"Mmh… Yes, this is unexpected… Do you mind if we test out a few things?" She nods in response. "Good. Then please go outside and fly. Also, I want you to try and think about something you experienced with Thread Lightly. A memory you have with her but not with me and focus on it. I want to see if there's a maximum range to this connection, and how are thoughts and memories conveyed through."

Butterswirl obeys and leaves your lab. As you concentrate, you can quite clearly see her exit the estate, and then fly up in the sky. You can't help but to clamp your hooves on the workplan in front of you as you feel yourself leave to ground, and you feel a hint of amusement from Butterswirl as she feels your surprise.

You see yourself as Butterswirl her fly far, the desert now looking like a petrified ocean under the moonlight. Her eyes scout the desert for any trace of Thread, but find none. She must be about a mile away from town at some point, but the connection you share is just as palpable. It feels like the connection you have with Butterswirl transcends space itself.

Eventually, you remind Butterswir that you wanted her to think about a memory she had with Thread. You didn't even have to put it into words, but as you're both focusing on the link binding the two of you, Butterswirl could feel you thinking about that test, and you too felt that she noticed in return. 

You can feel it. It's slightly less defined that Butterswirl's actual sensations, but you feel the image of a memory which is not yours pop into your head. You see yourself as Butterswirl spending your first night with Thread Lightly. The blue pony was still the size of an average mare at the time, and was awestruck by how big the orange mare already was. You remember yourself leaving the room through Butterswirl's eyes, and you remember Thread Lightly's polite answers to the questions of the newly-hired Butterswirl. You then feel the image of the larger Thread lying next to you in the bed she shared with the blue pony, her large form sleeping peacefully before your eyes. You're then left with a feeling of deep nostalgia as that's all Butterswirl wished to think about here. 

How deep the connection between your mind might almost scares you at this point… Fortunately, you've already established you could both go about your activities without bothering each other, as the feed from your bond never overcomes the reality in front of you, unless you consciously focus to do so.

After Butterswirl returns, you decide to go for a something to drown your sadness into. While Butterswirl gets and extra-large bucket of ice cream, you settle for a pint of beer. And with your frail stature, the world starts to spin around you as soon as you've emptied your second mug. You feel your buzz ease the mind of Buttersirl too, and Thread's leaving seems like a distant concern for a while.

You're carried home on the back of the giant blue pony not too long after. Despite sharing some your light-headedness, her motor control is unaffected by your drinks. Instead of dropping you in your lab, Butterswirl apparently decides you'll be sleeping the night with her. She keeps you between her hooves and her chest as she lies in her bed. You're surrounded by her warmth, but you also feel yourself held between Butterswirl's hooves, who herself feel you being surrounded by her warmth. This is like the feelings of this snuggling session are being duplicated through two parallel mirrors. 

Your buzzed mind manages to disregard the oddity of this feeling, and instead appreciates the reverberating snuggling experience. Soon, you feel yourself peacefully drift into sleep in the giantess' embrace. As a last thought before you fall asleep, you think to yourself sex must feel awesome with the link you have with Butterswirl, and you feel the hooves and chest around you grow just a bit bigger around you in response, as this thought echoes in Butterswirl's mind.

Nothing like falling asleep in the warm hooves of a giant, growing mare…
 
That's if for this week. See you next Sunday. As always, any kind of input is appreciated.

The next level of potion will cost 450 bits to make in ingredients(mk9). Coal Vein and Velvet Pillow are still for hire. You still have your mk1 potion. Canopy Veil and Swamp Lily will be in town this week. Sulfury will compete her research about Exploding Criticals in 2 weeks. Swamp Lily will complete her research about Natural Growth in 2 week of research (so 3 actual weeks).
You have 2191 bits at your disposal. Offers on the table :





While you're still a bit gloomy from Thread's loss, you have to keep working on your potions. Also, sleeping in the hooves of a giant mare really helped.

First thing in the morning, you discuss with your two lab assistant mares about the options they may have to travel fast over the land. Swamp Lily doesn't have a clue on that matter, but Sulfury seems to have a few ideas of her own.
"Portal magic is definitely a thing." She tells you. "But I heard only a few unicorns among the most talented mages of Canterlot can still use it. It will be really hard to have them teach you anything I suppose. Even a book on the subject will be difficult to obtain, as the Equestrian aren't dumb enough to teach this kind of magic to just anypony."

"The next best thing is definitely an airship." Sulfury continues. "The smallest ones cost about 3000 bits. These ships are usually built for a crew of three ponies but can also be loaded with a significant amount of stuff." 
From Sulfury's description, this is probably the kind of airship your ingredient vendor had in mind.

"I don't think you should consider transporting your employees that way, though. They'll soon get too big and heavy for any airship with how fast you're growing them. Yeah, a small ship would do the trick, but just for you. Also…" Sulfury smiles deviously. "If you ever acquire such a ship, I'd be happy to apply my knowledge about magic thrusters to make your ship go REALLY fast. You'd be able to reach the Crystal Empire in only a day!"

With the loss of Thread Lightly, you also need more money. Which means you need new hires, even if the applications you received recently are making you feel rather uncomfortable…

First you decide to confront Velvet Pillow through Butterswirl, hoping your connection will allow you to resist whatever trick she used the first time you met her. 
And your plan works. Even though you clearly feel Butterswirl’s perception being distorted by a fuzzy feeling of euphoria as she meets Velvet Pillow, you manage to remain cold-headed. Butterswirl too can remain reasonable by using your own unaltered perception as an anchor.

Butterswirl tells Velvet Pillow you will hire her, but on the condition she speaks frankly about who she is. The blue pony straight up tells he about your suspicion that she might not be a regular pony.

Velvet Pillow hesitates for a second, but then...
“Alright, I’m a changeling, yes” She confesses. “But don’t worry, I do not wish to do anything evil. Changelings don’t do that anymore, we share the love now. Or… that’s what they say, but everyone just remains in the hive between themselves… that’s the least amount of love sharing I can think about! And yet, sharing love is so wonderful. I want to show that to the whole world, starting with Klugetown which needs it the most! I didn’t lie when I told you that, I promise!”

While you’re ready to accept this, you also ask Velvet Pillow what kind of power she uses that makes you feel aloof, because it seems a lot like some lesser kind of brainwashing to you.
“What is the problem with my spell?” She asks back, looking offended by the accusation. “I use it to make ponies around me feel at peace. Doesn’t it feel good? Wanting the other to feel good is the most basic expression of love. But if you really want to, I can stop using it around you. But it makes me sad to think you’d refuse the love I want to give you…”
And in a few seconds, you feel the influence on Butterswirl’s mind vanish. You’ll have it that way for now.

You also meet Coal Vein in person, and explain to her the basic rules she has to follow for this job. The room is hers, but she can't bring any work home. And… she has to make sure she doesn't hurt anypony. You also explain to her why you pay your mare to work for Oasis. You simply want ponies to feel safe around them, and to make sure they don't start feeling afraid about your business. Coal Vein diligently listens to you, but shows little reaction.

The gruff mare accepts your conditions with an obedient nod and hum. Still, you think you'd better have both her and Velvet Pillow under the supervision of your more experienced mares, at least at the beginning. You're afraid Velvet Pillow might forget she's not sharing love for free if she goes alone, and you also reckon Coal Vein is gonna need a bit of special advertisement. You pitch your idea about making Coal Vein act as a dominant to Rose, but she doesn't seem that convinced.

"Yeah, we'll see about that." Rose answers. "She sure has the body, but the mindset is way more important I believe. I mean, any of us could force a stallion to do whatever we please at our size, but… ahem…" She sounds uncomfortable for a second "Thread Lighty, for example, couldn't satisfy those who sought that particular kink, as she simply couldn't show the attitude, the revelling in power which makes the spice of that fetish. She might look strong, but Coal Vein is neither very vocal nor expressive. I don't see her fitting the bill of a dominant right now. Let's see how it goes when you grant her some increased confidence, though…"

Butterswirl works as a delivery mare this week. It's rather strange, but you distantly feel yourself flying with the blue mare as she travels to the various addresses. Soon, you find it relaxing, that and the feeling of always being having somepony so close. 
Butterswirl too finds herself prying on your potion-making when she doesn't need to focus too much on her own job. She's curious about the secrets of your art, and sometimes even asks a few questions as she feels the considerations about magic and growth travel through your brain. For somepony who has never practiced any form of magic, she's extremely quick to understand what you explain to her. This is probably your unusual mind bond which males this possible. You think…
 
 Around the end of the week, she's tasked with transporting a sizeable amount of goods to Mt. Aris. It seems her contractor has finally decided to really put her flying talents and size to use. You feel yourself flying over the see of cloud under the sunlight pleasantly heating your fur and scales. A moment of peace you share with the blue mare.

This week, your mares are able to put up a show. Velvet Pillow and Coal Vein will help put the other mares' prodigious proportions into perspective, and Butterswirl too has accepted to join. An event you'll be witnessing… right through her eyes.
The blue pony is anxious as she peeks from behind the curtains. With more and bigger mares to fit on stage, Rose managed to move the show into some sort of dinner theatre place. There's quite the crown in here. All the tables are occupied, and there's some more ponies standing in the back. Maybe a hundred of them in total…

Rose, Canopy Veil, Velvet Pillow and Coal Vein enter the stage. As the biggest, Butterswirl will make her entry a bit later. Since both Canopy Veil and Rose have already showed their current measurements in the past, they start by comparing their assets with the two new mares, even if Coal Vein is already a bit above average.

How many times heavier is Canopy Veil compared to Velvet Pillow? Can the little mare even lift a single leg of the chocolate mare? "Place your bets!" Rose announce each time, before the truth is demonstrated in front of everypony. As the experiences follow on, you and Butterswirl find yourself enthralled as you look at how much your mares have grown already. Even compared to Velvet Pillow and Coal Vein which are above the average mare in height, the two others look so much bigger already. Twice as tall, oozing with confidence, and all too ready to show their huge bodies to the world. Butterswirl shares your feeling, and watches her friends under a new light, which makes her want to go fourth and shine with them.

While Velvet Pillow start to look shaky, Coal Vein remains collected and stands proud among the two amazons. She even manages to create a surprise by winning a hoof-wrestle against the nine-feet-plus Rose. While the unicorn shakes her painful hoof with a look of disbelief on her face, Coal Vein only show a smug grin to the audience.

At this point, Rose decide to call the Butterswirl on stage.
Being surrounded by her friends, which she now finds very attractive through your point of view, Butterswirl manages to forget about the audience watching her, and becomes willing to put her prodigious size into numbers. And naturally, she simply outclasses all expectations. The other mares barely reach to her chin, the crane your mares used to measure weight couldn't even lift her form, her tail alone beat all four other mares at the tug of war, and her two mounts of a butt are four feet in diameter each, almost as large as a stallion is tall.
Seeing both your mares and the audience fall in awe at each of her feats, Butterswirl feels more and more confident with her gigantic body.
 
She also takes pride into the admiration you have for her. This is a show like you've never seen before, and you marvel at the sight of your mares being so gigantic in front of this group of tiny stallions. Besides, your own appreciation for the rest of the mares fuels Butterswirl's desire to show off to them how much of a huge mare she is even more, to make the other feel how huge her flanks are compared to them, how powerful her body is, how easily she could pin them all under her hooves… You both feel a rush of heat at these thoughts, and Butterswirl starts to get even bigger, mightier… The other mares looked like foals before, and now they're more like mere pets to her.

However, the excited whistles and cheers of the crowd arose as Butterswirl grew, and soon the blue equestrian pony remembers that she is in front of a crowd of unscrupulous and horny stallions, and a wave of embarrassment crashes hard on her. Very soon, she goes back to her usual size, and as she agreed with Rose, she exits the stage shortly after a few goodbye words to the audience.
She flies in the cool air of the night for quite some time before she manages to calm herself down.

Then, it is the last day of the week, just before your day of rest. As you've taken a habit to take care of many things besides potion-making during the week, the brewing usually lasts far in this night.

It's past midnight, and Butterswirl went to sleep hours ago already. As you felt hints of her colorful dreams at the edge of your consciousness, you decided to put a cover of tinfoil all over your head, and this indeed cuts the link you had with Butterswirl for as long as you covered your head with the shiny metal. A nice thing to know, and you appreciate finding a little solitude again while you work late.

You just finished bottling the mk5 and mk6 potion, and the newest mk9 is just getting done. However, as you fill the vial with the magic-infused brew, it starts to glow with a green light and you feel it shake in your hand. Knowledgeable about alchemical accidents, you quickly drop the vial on the workplan and duck to cover yourself behind a nearby shelf.

However, no explosion or anything of the like happens. You merely hear the glass vial roll on its side, and the cork pop away. After a few seconds, the green glow dissipates, so you decide to take a peek and see if the danger has passed.

As you look at the workplan, your eyes go wide as you see a mane-less and tail-less, doll-sized, alicorn-shaped creature on the table. Its whole body seems to be made of a deep emerald green liquid substance, which looks just like the potion you just made. Which means… is this your potion? You're about certain your potion isn't supposed to do that!

You freeze as the creature starts to move. It looks around, and soon its pupil-less eyes fall on you. You think you see the outlines of a smile on the liquid face of the 6-inches tall creature.
"Greetings master." The small liquid alicorn bows to you. "How may I serve you tonight?

>What do?"

[spoiler]See you tomorrow[/spoiler]

"Holy what? A talking horse!" You exclaim.
"Yes. I am shaped like a horse, and I can talk." the creature answers.
"You're a faggot!"
"I am not a bundle of sticks, so I'm afraid don't qualify as a faggot. My apologies, master."

After that, you feel your basic brain functions come back to you, and decide to move on to more interesting questions.
"Alright… So, are you sentient? Can you use magic?"
"Am I sentient?" The creature seems slightly confused for a second. "I suppose I am. I can take decisions for myself according to my oerception, but I am bound to you, master. Your every word shall be my command. Please feel free to use me in any way you want."
"As for magic, I cannot use this horn of mine. This shape is merely a representation of the magic inside me. However, I can bestow the power you imbued me with to any mare of your choice. And unlike the other potions, this power I may merely lend it. I can make a mare grow according to the effects I have, but I will still exist after that, and you may order me to return to this transient form to then grow another mare."

"Wait, so a mare could drink you and then you'd be able to exit via…"
"I can simply bestow my magic by seeping in and out of the flesh of a mare. The process is painless for both me and my host. But if you wish so, we can have a mare swallow me with her mouth. The result will be the same."

"Hmm… Next, tell me what you know about yourself, and about everything else?"
"I know my purpose." The liquid pony obediently answers "I know why you created me. To make mares bigger. I know you are my master. I also know how you created me. I understand growth and fetish magic, and I understand the process of the fabrication of potions like myself. That's it."

"So you know about potions?" You ponder. Maybe you could use her as a lab assistant. "Does that mean… could you tell me what would happen if I poured another potion into you?"
"In that case, the effects of the new potion would override the ones I can currently bestow on a mare. Just like what happens when a mare drinks a new potion. My transient form or consciousness wouldn't be affected."

"And do you know what will happen if a changeling drinks a potion?"
"They will grow like a regular mare would." The creature answers. "However, they will al lose the ability to transform into anything else than a mare and won't be able to change the proportion of their body anymore."
Now that's interesting. You weren't sure about how it would work with changelings. This potion mare knows some more things than you do about your own work.

"Do you need food?" You ask her next. "Do you need a place to sleep?"
The creature seems to ponder for a second.
"I need to sleep I suppose, and probably a small amount of water, but I do not need any food." She answers. "A bottle will be fine to rest into."

At this point, you decide to try and see if you can analyze which effects your potion triggered this time. This seems to work, and there your jaw drops as you realize there is not only one critical in the little goo mare as you first suspected, but THREE of them. One of these criticals is probably what allowed this little potion mare to exist, but you have no idea about the two others. On the other hoof, you've also struck the aroused growth again. Considering the current amount of growth, you mare will be doubling in size when they get turned on at this point…

Before showing this new little one to the others, you reckon you could give her a name first.
"Would you like a name?" You ask the goo alicorn.
"If you'd like to give me a name, I'd be very glad to use it." She answers.

>What do?

"Also when you… seep into a mare, will you feel whatever she feels?"
"No. I will keep perceiving the world like I do right now. I do not use my eyes to see or my ears to hear. My senses aren't bound to any specific physical part of me, but to my whole being, if that makes any sense."

"Hum." You nod. "So, for your name… How about Tide? Sip? Novem? Ix? Or maybe Sharp Mind? Which one do you prefer?"
"I…" She sounds slightly confused. "I do not have any preference. You should be the one choosing my name."

>What do?

"How about Tide Novem?" You offer.
"Then I shall answer to the name Tide Novem." The goo alicorn answers.

Since it's past one in the morning, you'll be showing your new girl to everypony tomorrow. As you go to sleep, Tide Novem flows back into her vial for the night, where she looks like an ordinary potion.

Each of your mares look in disbelief as you introduce the little goo mare to them (Except Butterswirl, who had the mystery spoiled the second she woke up since you didn't keep your tinfoil hat). Tide Novem politely introduces herself to your workers, her 6 inches standing proudly on the metal tray you used to transport her. Butterswirl is the first to poke on the small potion-pony.

"It's weird!" She says with a giggle. "It's like she's made of jelly!" 
"That is a tremendous feat from my point of view." Swamp Lily comments. "You created life, Wizard. You're playing with powers bigger than what I reckoned until now. Not that I mind. This is making me rather curious about what will happen next, actually…"

"So this is the potion you made this week?" Canopy Veil sounds confused. "How odd… We won't have to… drink her, right?"
"Do not worry." Tide Novem replies "I do not need to go through your mouth to bestow my effects on you. And I won't disappear once I do either. I will still be able to communicate even when I'm inside you."
"Oh. I see..." She says, sounding even more confused than before.

Once the introduction is done, and that your mares are paid, you do the accounting of the week.
This week : 2191 bits - 27 (expanses) )- 50(beauty products)- 450 (potion mk9)- 250(potion mk5) – 300(potion mk6)- 200 (Coal's room) – 200 (Velvet's room ) – 60(Suflury’s wage) + 755 (income from Sandy) + 512 (income from Canopy Veil)+158(income from Velvet Pillow) + 32 (income from Coal Vein)+1327 (income from show)+200(income from Butterswirl)+ 80 (Nails) – 147 (Sandy's wage) – 127 (Canopy's's wage)- 76(Butterswirl's wage) -65(Velvet's wage) – 55(Coal's wage) = 3248 bits available.

Sulfury made progress this week, and she’ll complete her research about Exploding critical in in 1 weeks.
Swamp made progress this week, and she’ll complete her research about Natural Growth in 1 week of research. She will not be in town in the coming week.

Offers currently on the table:
For 3000 bits: you may buy an aircraft to send workers search for ingredients for 200 bits weekly. Having the merchant who currently sells you the ingredients give the orders guarantees you up to 1000 bits of free ingredients each week.
For 1000 bits: Nails will remove the first floor in your estate in all rooms in 1 week.
For 3000 bits: Nails will buils a 24-feet high floor on top of your place in 2 weeks.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.
For 500 bits: Best Defense will personally track down any trespasser her traps fail to catch.
Swamp Lily can bring Canopy Veil with her when she goes out of town to help her deal will her new stature. Canopy Veil still needs to spend 2 weeks with Swamp Lily.
Sulfury will be interested in buying a potion if you reach 3 health effects.

>What do?

"Does anypony wants to… try out Tide Novem?" You ask around. "There's still two unidentified critical effects to find out."
You employees exchange a few looks, and eventually Rose steps forth.

"Fine, let's see what you can do Tide Novem. These are supposed to be good effects, right? Do I have to drink you?"
"It's not necessary. Just give me your hoof."

The unicorn obeys, and after going into the street, Rose lets the little goo alicorn climbs on her hoof, then Tide almost instantly disappears into the fur of the unicorn's leg.
"Huh…" Rose says, examining her perfectly clean hoof quizzically. "So… Are you still here?"
"Yes." You all hear the goo pony's voice coming from Rose's body. "And now I will make you bigger, Rose."

And bigger she grows. From 9 feet and 3 inches, Rose's head start to rise even more into the air. You have struck a bunch of growth effect recently, and there's a good chance the unicorn will grow even bigger than Butterswirl.
"Here I go again." Rose says with a content smile. "Too bad this is only for as long as you're with me, Tide Novem. I've come to like the idea of being the bigger mare in town."

That's indeed a likely scenario, as she passes 10 feet in an instant, and 11, then 12 feet shortly after. However, at this point, her whole body starts to glow with a bright white light while she continues getting taller. "Huh?" She blurts as the light only intensifies. Soon, none of you can see what is happening to Rose anymore, as she shines as bright as the sun itself.
As the light finally subsides after a dozen seconds, you're all looking at a 15 feet and 10 inches pony. An alicorn pony, to be exact. It seems impossible, but Rose just grew wings, and her whole body reshaped to take the unmistakable slender frame of a princess. Her mane became long and flowing, and even her coat seems to shine brighter than ever. 

"Oh goodness…" Rose, as well as everypony else, look at her in disbelief. "How is this even… possible? I'm… a princess now?"

>What do?

"Looks like you are." You utter, still having trouble understanding the implication of what's in front of you. "I guess that princess act will be a lot easier to pull out. Except you're a lot taller than they are… Hmm, how do you feel?"

"I feel…" A bright smile illuminates Rose's face. "I feel wonderful! I don't even remember ever feeling this good before! I feel like I could just…"
Rose spreads her wings, and with a powerful gust she lifts off in the sky. You hear the massive alicorn laugh out loud as she flies higher above you, tumbling and barreling gleefully in the sky.
At some point, you feel the pink glow of Rose's magic around you, and you're propelled in the sky where the alicorn catches you, and covers the whole side of your face with her plump lips for a deep and heartfelt kiss.

"This is incredible!" Rose then exclaims, beaming like a filly on the morning of her birthday. "I don't know how you did that stud, but I definitely love it!"
"I'm glad you do. Look at yourself, Rose!" You too exclaim excitedly. "You look like a super hero! You could be Sandy Rose during the day and Princess Rose in the night!"
"Me? A heroine?" She shakes her head "Goodness, I hope you're joking! This is so surreal I can't even tell… I'm not a brawler or anything. Even at this size, I would not volunteer myself for trouble. I can still keep Tide Novem with me, right?"

>What do?

"Sure, I-I don’t have a problem with that." You stutter. "It's just that there's one more critical we have to identify. I just would like you to watch out for it, okay?"
"Sure thing, stud!" She replies with a warm smile.

"Also, Tide?" You call the potion pony "Will Rose get back to her original size when you leave her body? Or will she return to the size she had with the previous potion?"
"She will return to how she was just before I seeped into her." Tide's voice can be heard. "My effect will override the previous potion only for as long as I am within a mare."
"Then all is well."

Still in the air, Rose holds you with her hooves. As you extend her hooves in the direction of her massive face, Rose takes the hint and bring you to her so you can hug her snout. You place a tiny kiss on the tip of her nose, and Rose giggle in reaction, before kissing your whole face, her marvelous lips being large enough to smother you from chin to horn.

Rose frees your face with a wet smack, and after a giggle at how much you blush in reaction, she whispers in your ear.
"You really are the cutest thing, stud. Remember. Just a word from you, and the two of us can have a really good time together…"

After a massive wink, Rose start to descent back to the ground, where she softly allows you to walk on the ground again. There, you notice Butterswirl gained a few feet in height from the treatment Rose gave you. The blue pony stands at about 20 feet even when you get to the ground again.

But then, Rose's body glows green for a second, and there she starts to grow again. Nails gasps in surprise as Rose gains one more foot of height and then some. She grows until she stands at 21 feet, a foot taller than the already massive Butterswirl.
"Oh, my…" Rose covers her mouth. "I think we may have figured out that other effect you were talking about, stud. It seems like…" She places a hoof on the head of the smaller Butterswirl. "I can't be outgrown!"

And as to try to prove her wrong, Butterswirl get more flustered by the touch of the larger mare, and grows even larger in front of your awestruck group. But Rose's height immediately keeps up with the blue pony's. As he reaches 22 feet, Rose sprouts to 23 and one inch. Butterswirl's face is completely red by now.
"What's the matter, Butternut?" Rose teases the smaller pony. "You don't look so big anymore…" 
There, Sandy places a small kiss on Butterswirl's nose, which finishes to get her worked up. She reaches 25 feet and 6 inches in one big spurt, her maximum size, and immediately she's outstripped by Rose who reaches 26 feet and 9 inches, and not even looking slightly flustered.

Both mares are gigantic to your right now, over ten times your current size. You could comfortably stand on a single of their hooves, and each of their eyes is wider than you are tall. You're bellow doll-size compared to them.

>What do?

You cock is twitching hard under you. You're pretty sure Butterswirl is at her maximum size, and you're quite close to your own limit in a way…
"Rose!" You call to the giant mare. "I think… I'm gonna take you up on your offer."

At these words, the giant alicorn show you a satisfied grin.
"Took you some time, stud. I was starting to think you didn't like me anymore…" She teases you.
"Also. I think Butterswirl will go with us."
A small 'eep!' exits the other giantess's lips, but she doesn't protest at the idea. You can feel she's a bit apprehensive, but the idea of getting intimate with a bigger mare like Rose deeply turns her on.

The bright alicorn gives the blue pony an appraising look, before showing her a sly grin too.
"Very well. I was actually curious about what you could do with that girthy tail of yours…"

Butterswirl only gulps in response, before the two of you follow Rose to her chamber. Both giantesses have to crouch to get around, and in their aroused states they have trouble even squeezing though the doorways. Especially the second half of their body…

Still, you all manage to go to Rose's room without breaking anything. Neither of the two mares can hope to stand up in here, and Sandy's bed sounds like it's reaching the limits of what it can endure, the giant alicorn's body occupying all of the space available as she lies on the originally way oversized piece of furniture.

"That brings back memories, stud. Do you remember last time we had a roll in the hay? I was only a bit tall back there. Now I'm a giantess, just like you've always dreamed. And so is Butterswirl. Two giantesses all for yourself… you're one lucky stallion, aren't you? But you do deserve it I guess. Now, just like last time, this is your call, stud. How should we start this little party?"

Butterswirl is next to you, sweating heavily. She's too confused to take the lead, but you can feel she wishes to just pounce on Rose to kiss her and squeeze as much of her body in her hooves as she can.

>What do?

"I'm an incredibly lucky stallion…" You blurt, a dreamy smile on your face. "Can you lie on your back and give me another kiss, Rose? I can't get enough of these."
Still smiling, Rose obeys and shifts to rest on her back. You feel a rush of heat as she parts her legs wide, putting her darker flower into plain view. You could probably squeeze yourself inside here at this point…

But for now, Rose lifts you once again with her magic to bring you to her face.
"I love kisses." she coos. "So much more desirable than actual fucking. Come here, stud…"
And there, she uses her hoof to bring you to her mouth. She kisses you whole face once more, and this time she uses her tongue. She intended to have it inside your mouth, but her muscle is now too big to fit inside at all.

Instead, she parts her lips slightly to allow you whole face to get inside her mouth, where her raspy tongue start to swirl around your snout, sending delicious shivers through your body. You breathe the air inside Rose's mouth, your lungs filling with her wet, musky scent. You desperately try to kiss the fleshy appendage back, and as Sandy feels your mouth opening and tongue sticking out, she presses her giant tongue against you, smushing you whole face against her hot muscle. Rose lets out a pleased hum as she does, which resonates deliciously through your whole body.

On your impulse, Butterswirl steps forth. As Rose liberates your drenched face from her mouth, Butterswirl immediately lunges to kiss the alicorn herself. You planned to move down to take care of Rose's nipples, but the blue pony can't resist squeezing herself against Rose as she kisses her with abandon. You find yourself smothered between the two giantesses' chests. Their hot bodies brush against each other, squishing your form between their muscled body. Butterswirl soon seems to find a position she really likes and presses herself with all her strength against Rose, still kissing her. The two mares moan in unison as you're smothered between both their massive chests. The pressure makes you whole body burn with arousal. And Butterswirl's moves start to turn Rose on as well, and under you, you feel the body of the alicorn start to grow some more, adding more flesh to her already godly figure. You both see her grow through Butterswirl's eyes, you see her becoming even more magnificent under you, and at the same time your whole body feels the increasing pressure from her increasingly massive body increase under and around you.

This is the last straw. Nopony hears your grunt of ecstasy in the prison of the two mares's body, but your own climax pushes Butterswirl over the edge too. She stops kissing Rose to scream with abandon as a powerful climax rocks her own body. Both your minds go blank as your orgasms become indistinguishable from each other, the sensations each of you are feeling sending the other to even greater peaks of pleasure. You feel your load travel through your cock and explode between the two giantesses, which makes Butterswirl's pussy clench to expel her marecum, which in turn prompt you to produce another load, and Butterswirl peaks again in retaliation. This chain reaction of ecstasy lasts for aa good minute, where both your pleasure and the one of Butterswirl feed each other, until the two of are left spend, out of breath but feeling like you just had the time of your life.

"My, you two are gonna make a pair of short fuses, aren't you?" A bemused Rose comments. She scoops your tiny body out of the press of her and Butterswirl's body with her magic, and holds you in the air. Beneath you lies a magnificent view of a giant panting Butterswirl hugging an even more massive Rose, who looks at you with a luscious smile.
"Now, how shall I take care of you next?"

>What do?

Your eyes wander on Butterswirl's massive backside. Her legs still twitch slightly from the climax she just undergone, sending small ripples through the gigantic blobs of fat that are her buttocks. Her meaty tail only adds to the amount of flesh on her rump, and only makes it even for desirable. So huge, so plump… you wish you could just get in there already…

That time will come, but for now, you'll contain your manic excitement. Even if Butterswirl starts to have a clue about what you are having in mind. But for now…
"You're both so beautiful." You tell Rose. "Do you mind bringing me to Butterswirl's nethers?"

Rose's smile widens. 
"Still confident in your tongue game I see. I believe you're gonna need a little more than that this time, but you sound like you can get invested."
While Rose readjusts Butterswirl's body to have it lie on her, you're transported to the regions of the mares. Rose releases you right in front of the sex of the blue pony. You stand on Rose's own body, near her crotch, with the two little mounds of her teats at each side of you.

Not leaving any time for Butterswirl to back down, Rose starts to deeply kiss her again, more slowly and sensually. You fell Butterswirl's mind getting soothed by the softer approach, and she feels more eager for what you have in mind.
She lifts her tail, showing you her crotch. Her tear-shaped pussy is still drenched from the orgasm of earlier. Her plump dark folds, each as thick as a leg of yours, outline an entrance with bright pink walls. Her puffed asshole sits atop this hole, as large as your head. It is closed tight, but just as meaty and enticing as her cunt. On top of each other, the two entrances are as tall as you are. Yet, entering one of them is a possibility…

The air is stuffy with a spicy mix of sweat and sex down here. And you see Butterswirl's flower clench in reaction to your own arousal. She's slightly apprehensive, but feels eager to have somepony take care of her cunt. 

A role you're more than willing to assume.

You step forward and start to lick the outline of her folds. The taste of her cum is still strong in here, and you appreciate every drop of it. Your cock grows to full length once more, fed by both the physical and literal arousals of the giant blue mare. As you feel Butterswirl's pleasure concentrate at a certain spot in her pussy, you decide to use you magic to tug on it. Letting yourself guide by her sensations in a heated naval battle game, you soon find the clitoris of the giant mare. You hear Butterswirl start to moan desperately as you force the bud of flesh to point out of her folds with your magic so you can push on it with your hooves.

Butterswirl's pussy quakes once more under the stimulation, and you feel her arousal climbing steadily. You decide to push things further. While you start to use your tongue on the peach-sized clitoris of Butterswirl, you slowly have the rest of your body crawl inside her sex. Her legs twitch at the feeling of the strange intrusion, and you feel her inner walls shift and twist, sometimes squeezing your legs like a vice, sometimes spreading a burst of sticky liquid on your body.

Eventually, only your head sticks out of Butterswirl's vagina. You're holding her swollen peach in your hooves, and make out with the sensitive pink bud. You can feel Butterswirl getting close. Rose is still kissing her, but more passionately than before, and forcing her larger tongue deep inside the mouth of the blue pony. She's moaning frantically, and you too grunt as you feel your dick and balls getting ready for another go.

Still feeling Butterswirl's sensations, you notice some spots inside her love cannel which seem way more responsive than the rest. Positioning yourself a bit deeper, you ram your own crotch right on the most sensitive place of Butterswirl and grind yourself on it. The response is immediate, and you feel an electric shock of sexual bliss rock Butterswirl's body and yours. Her snatch clenches around your body, forcing it against her best spot. You feel the wind knocked out of your lungs by the pressure, but the pain confounds itself with pleasure at this point, and both you and Butterswril start another cycle of shared climax.

Butterswirl's screams are muffled in Rose's mouth, but you can feel her whole body flare with a powerful climax. The walls of flesh around you tighten in a rock-crushing grip, which only encourage your shaft to pump out the content of you balls even more. And as soon as the pressure subsides only a little, you erupt inside Butterswirl, sending a new wave of orgasm inside her.

Her walls clam once more, making it more difficult, but so much more ecstatic for your dick to pump your seed out. The build up of cum inside you cock sets your mind on fire, and both you and Butterswirl grunt in orgasmic agony as her vagina keeps you in as tightly as a vice grip, until finally a burst of her own marecum allow you to perform the sweet, sweet discharge of your load.

It is only after half a dozen clutches than Butterswirl's pussy finally relaxes for good as both your orgasms subside. You're allowed to slide out of her flower, completely drenched in her sticky essence. The whole lower part of your body hurts, and yet you don't think you could ever be happier.

>What do?

"Rose?" You call dizzily. "I'm very worn out, but I can't tease you this much without helping out. I'm having a little trouble moving, could you move me to your marehood?"

The pink glow lifts you in the air again, but rather than her nether region, you're brought in front of Rose's face again.
"You're getting a bit cocky here, stud." She tells you with a smirk. "Right now, you need to let me take care of you. Just relax, and let a princess take care of everything."

Rose has gotten even bigger since your last saw her as a result her mounting arousal. Butterswirl is as small as a foal to her, blissfully resting on her tummy. The alicorn drops you on her snout, and there she takes your still half-hard member between her lips.

You let out a delighted grunt as she kisses the lower part of your body, encasing your member in the softest prison of flesh. Rose starts slowly, alternating between having her massive lips roll against each other with your shaft between them, or gently sucking on it. You feel the pain subside as warm shivers of pleasure radiate from your crotch all over you.

Butterswirl too starts to moan as she feels what Rose is doing to you, and since you're in no state to satisfy the princess, you entrust the blue pony with that mission.
Rose can't refrain a gasp as she starts to feel Butterswirl's tail caress the outline of her love cave. The scaly tail of the blue pony isn't as sensitive as a hoof or a cock, but you still feel Rose shivers under the touch of the slithering appendage.

As a result, she sucks you cock more eagerly, taking your whole lower body between her lips so her tremendous tongue can lick and rub your shaft and balls. Your mounting excitation passes on to Butterswirl, who gets bolder with her tail, and penetrates the alicorn with her prehensile member.
Rose moans as Butterswirl fills her more and more, the twisting movements the blue pony is capable of making her groan delectably as she sucks on you like on a nursing bottle. You see Rose's pillar of a horn light up, and the blue pony too gasps, as you feel a ticking sensation around her pussy. Once more, both you and Butterswirl get closer from release, but this time Rose too sounds like she will get some.

Butterswirl decides to take this to the next level. She stands up to position herself so her butt is right in front of Rose's sex, and them rams her whole tail inside the bigger mare at once.
At its base, Butterswirl's tail is girthier than anything Rose has ever filled herself with, even at her current size. Rose's eyes go wide as you feel her entrance being stretched by the scaly tail, which is too muscly to get compressed by Rose's clenching walls. It is even powerful enough to shift and writhe inside her tightened sex.

Rose moans frantically, and rocks her body up and down to grind herself against Butterswirl. Her tongue twists and coils around you shaft, and she sucks so hard on it you body's slowly getting drawn deeper and deeper into her maw. You're in heaven, surrounded by more and more of Rose's wet warmth, all while her raspy tongue grinds against your junk. The heat in Rose's loins build up, the pleasure from Butterswirl's powerful tail bringing her first to the edge of culmination.

As Butterswirl forces her tail inside Rose to the dock, her whole body tenses, and she closes her eyes to ride on the mighty orgasm rocking her. She lets out a muffled howl of pure ecstasy, and a flash of magic from her horn produces an explosion inside Butterswirl's snatch which finished to push the two of you into a third wave of joined climax.

Both you and Butterswirl scream in agony as you experience a synchronous orgasm, from both Rose's mouth which is emptying your shaft with the force of an industrial milker, and her spell which is making Butterswirl feel like a star is being born inside her pussy. The three of you ride the wave of orgasm until all your respective sex have no more juice to produce. Butterswirl lets herself fall on the ground while Rose limply tilts her head to the side to release your minuscule body on the pillow next to her.

"Oh… I needed that…." Rose purrs lazily, a satisfied grin on her face. "You better watch out, stud. Now I'm feeling young again, I might fall in love for the two of you…"

And… that's if for this week. You will give the mk5 potion to Coal vein and the mk6 to Velvet Pillow. Sandy Rose will keep Tide Novem within her. You have 3248 bits available.
As always, discussion, suggestions and feedback are appreciated. See you next week.



After this intimate experience with Rose and Butterswirl, you decide to give the mk5 potion you have to Coal Vein and the mk6 to Velvet Pillow. While the changeling takes it excitedly, the earth pony drinks her own rather unceremoniously.
Both mares start to grow at once, Velvet showing amazement while the dark mare cautiously watches her body expand. While they both reach the 10 feet range (10'8'' for Coal Vein and 10'3'' for Velvet Pillow) Coal's body looks much more massive than the other mare. She was already beefy, but not she looks like a living fortress. Especially her flanks. While your other mares gained mostly pudge when their rears expanded, Coal Vein had buttocks of pure muscle, and it is more muscles which were added to her behind. Instead of the wobbly mass of an ass juicy with fat, the two giant buttocks of the dark mare remain taut and full when they shift and contract, looking like living marble.

The last growth spurt propels Coal Vein to 12'4'' in her aroused state, and there Velvet Pillow outclasses her by reaching 15'9'' in a matter of seconds. While the beefy mare breathes deeply to calm herself down, the changeling on the other hoof giggles blissfully, and starts using her hoof to get herself off in front of everypony. She comes only a minute later, with a joyful look on her face.

"This is marvelous, Wizard!" She says as her peak winds down. "A bigger me will be able to spread so much love in Klugetown! I can't wait!"
And while the changeling takes you in a tight hug with her huge hooves, Cola Vein simply walks away, probably to her room.

While Tide Novem needs to sleep, she can get her rest while Rose goes on with her day. The potion pony knows things you ignore about your potions, so you want to have her work as a lab assistant too. Therefore, you decide to have her study in the lab while Rose gets her own rest. Your employee is a little sad to lose her princess status even for the night, but at least she can fit more comfortable in her room and bed.

When you give her back Tide Novem each morning, Rose grows back to 15 feet and 10 inches, the size she had originally with that potion.

Speaking of mornings, you decide to take care of the breakfast for everypony from now on. Except for Butterswirl, your mares sleep in almost every day after their nightly activity, so you have plenty of time to prepare something for them without the need to rise too early.

Another exception is Coal Vein. The mare awakens before everypony else, and then disappears outside for about an hour, sometimes more. From how drenched in sweat she is when she comes back, you do not need to ask her to deduce she must have a workout schedule going on to keep herself in shape.
After she uses the shower like every day after her routine, you decide to ask her to help you with the breakfast.

"So you want me to open that watermelon with my thighs?" Coal Vein asks back with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, yes I do." You answer with a smile. "I just want to see if you can do it. And to be really honest, I just wish you'd accept to give this little show… to see how strong you got. That's something I like in mares."

"Yeah. It's pretty obvious you like them big and strong."
"I do. But you're special in that regard." You tell Coal Vein. "You didn't need me to be big and strong. You had already sculpted yourself into something really impressive. I can only imagine how dedicated you have to be to make your body into such a work of art, and I find it very attractive to tell you the truth. And now, you also got so tall… I'm just eager to see this mighty body of yours in action."

Coal Vein stares at you in silence for a moment, before showing you a fleeting half smile. Then, she lies down, and places the watermelon between her legs.
"Just so you know." She says. "I could already do that before you made me bigger. It was some sort of… party trick I could do."

You place a bowl under her so you may collect some of the fruit. You take a little distance from Coal's giant, iron-hard flanks, and you see them contract as she squeezes the green fruit…
…which instantly explodes like a mere balloon, reduced into a pulp by the overwhelming strength of Coal Vein's thighs. Pulp was projected up to the ceiling, and the grey mare scrunches angrily as some pulp got in her face and eyes.
"Okay." Coal Vein says as she wipes the pink fruit flesh from her eyes. "It wasn't THAT easy when I wasn't this big. I hope it's watermelon smoothie you had in mind."

On these words, the grey mare goes to take another shower.

Despite two new mares drinking a potion, the biggest change of this week is definitely Rose. The mare is brimming with energy when Tide Novem is with her, and her nonchalant seduction turned into a much more aggressive flirtation.

The alicorn pony has Nails and Butterswirl in her hoof. The two mares simply can't resist when the giant alicorn comes and greet them everyday with a deep kiss on the mouth. They usually remain dumbstruck for a minute, a blissful smile on her face while the alicorn gently hugs them. Rose also visibly takes a particular pleasure into teasing the blue pony. First because she knows she's teasing you by proxy, and second because she gets even bigger as she triggers Butterswirl's growth that way. The alicorn has become almost as enthusiastic about growth as you are, and moans lewdly when the power of Tide makes her bigger than any other of your mares.

Rose also ended up getting rather close to Velvet Pillow. The alicorn's renewed enthusiasm for seduction and Velvet's wish to spread love go hoof in hoof, and you often see the duo go out to work wing-in-wing while exchanging giggles and kisses. You doubt there's a single stallion on this planet who could resist these two beauties.

Only Coal Veins among your workers manages to remain indifferent to the alicorn's charms. You, on the other hoof, are getting more and more subjugated by the growing alicorn. Not that you mind… You encourage it in fact.

 You never miss an occasion to compliment the mare on her new improved look. And with how open she's been, you've got no trouble giving her some saucier remarks.
Rose likes them all, and never fails to reward you. Every compliment on her face ends with her covering your body with kisses, every word on her flanks grants you a feel, and sometime a hug to her mountainous flanks. Rose goes as far as to add you to her breakfast when you're bold enough, sucking your cock until you're completely spend, or even takes you to her room so you may eat her out for your own breakfast.
One of these meals is more filling than the other…

"I really love how things turned out." Rose purrs one morning, while gently panting your panting small form on her bed, drenched in her juices after you made sure to give her some release. 
"To think I was skeptical at first… And now look at me. I'm a goddess. That's how every stallion I meet views me. Seeing them so desperate for just a glance, ready to spend their lifelong saving for just a feeling of my body… This is what it feels like to be above the masses. And the more I grow, the more divine I become. I can't wait for all of Klugetown to worship me. And once I outgrow this place, it shall be the whole world which will look up in awe to me."
Rose chuckles and stands up. 

"I'm ready whenever you are, stud…" She whispers as she exits the room.

One other day when Rose had been a less merciful goddess, and only teased you to the very edge of release, a devious plan comes to your mind.
Of course, Butterswirl immediately protest as she feels that, but as she's traveling back from the marshlands in the south, she can do nothing to stop your hooves from going to your crotch. Feeling Butterswirl getting hot because of your touch is more than enough to fuel your lust, and soon the pony finds herself searching in vain for a landing spot in the see of clouds as her arousal keeps climbing very fast.

It isn't long before you cum in your lab with a pleased grunt, and feel Butterswirl experience a similar orgasm. You not fall into a chain reaction this time though, as Butterswirl, who lost control of her wings during her climax, finds herself barreling to the ground through the thick clouds. In the mist, she fails to recover, and end up crashing in a murky puddle of stinky water. Butterswirl is alright, but she's covered in half-rotten ferns and slit. 
You can't refrain a chuckle, feeling a couple of flames come out of Butterswirl's nose as she growl angrily at your attention. There's will be retribution for this…

And Butterswirl not being a patient pony, vengeance comes no later than the next morning.

While you are in a particularly delicate phase of potion-making, you feel the flame of mischievousness ignite in Butterswirl's mind. Already knowing what's in line for you, you do your best to hurry, but these enchantments take time and cannot be paused.
You're gonna have to remain adamant, while Butterswirl visits Velvet Pillow and tells her she'd like to try sharing love with her…

Naturally, the changeling is all to happy to oblige, and you feel Butterswirl blissfully bask in the relaxing spell while Velvet Pillow goes down on her.
Your vials start to clatter together, as your erection come to interfere with you magic and dexterity. Beads of sweat pearl on your head while the blue giantess is forcing the smaller pony's face in her crotch with abandon. You've got to focus… you might lose a good amount of time and money if you failed here.

Luckily, you manage to complete this reaction just in time for Butterswirl to get over the edge. Only a second after securing the vials, you fall from your high stool and cums in mid-air alongside Butterswirl. 

You stroke the back of you head painfully after coming out of your confusion. This is gonna leave a mark, and you have a bit of cleaning to do, but Butterswirl feels satisfied with her revenge.

You even prevented your potions from this week from containing some of your juice…

On another note, you've decided to begin the construction of a new floor atop the current one, with higher ceilings. You gave the 3000 bits to Nails, and she tells you the first week will be spend buying materials and making plans.
After asking her, Nails tells you she'd only need two weeks for the whole construction work should Butterswirl be available to with her next week.

Also, you ask Nails if some of her workers are interested into getting some additional size.
"Well, there is actually." She answers with a smile. "One of my girls want to get to 8', like I did, while two others would just like to reach 6'. And finally, I got somepony who wants to get as big as Butterswirl. I'm personally fine with my current size for now."

One day, Velvet Pillow comes to you with a bright smile on her face, and there she announces you… rather worrying news.
“Wizard, I have a message for you!” She announces after her day. “It’s from a group of ponies from one of the desert tribes.”
You cock a curious eyebrow in reaction, as you've never personally dealt with any of those ponies.

"They said they wanted to invite you to a very important ceremony next week. You’ll be a guest of honor they said! But they asked me to tell you to come alone.”
"That… sounds a little weird…" You answer uncomfortably to the changeling. "And maybe dangerous. Didn't you think it was weird of them to ask you this?"

"Well, I supposed you knew them. After all, they all had unusual sizes! Two of the them were as tall as you are, while the rest couldn't have been more than a foot tall. There was even one mare who was only a couple inches in size! Yet they all looked so blissful. This ceremony in honor of the blood moon sounded like a very happy event to them!"
"In honor of the blood moon you say?" A shiver travels down on your spine.
"Yes!" Velvet Pillow nods with energy. "They even said they would wait for you at the edge of town in twelve days, [spoiler]the session after this one,[/spoiler] so they could bring you to the place of the ceremony. Oh! And now I remember, the told me to tell you the invitation came personally from Maafah!"

You feel your whole body tense up at the mention of this name. It sounds like the return of the zebra mare is afoot, and she hasn't been lazing around since she left...

Also, another invitation makes its way to your person the same day. It comes through a more common medium, a letter in your mailbox. But bearing the signature of mayor Goldfeather, it looks just as threatening as the other one.

The mayor invites you to have a talk with him next week on the evening of your resting day... right at the same time as Maafah’s invitation. You won’t be able to attend to both…
“I know it is rather rude of me to impose a date like that, but as the mayor I have many responsibilities.” You read in the hoof-written letter. “Surely you understand my time is precious, and while I wish to discuss with you personally about your craft and how it could benefit Klugetown, I do not have another time available for this. It would greatly sadden me if you couldn’t make way in your own schedule for this little interview.”

With a potential reunion with Maafah in the boxes, you decide to search the rooms of the two of your mares who left.

First, Thread's room. She didn't leave much in here. She diligently cleaned everything before leaving, and no secret message awaits you under the mattress. She took everything she could in here, and threw away the rest. The only thing left is her dress in the wardrobe. The neat gown could make an 8-feet mare happy, and it has only been worn once…
You could use this room for another mare if you wish to.

You hadn't checked inside Maafah's room since you came with Swamp Lily, and you dare say the druid mare was wrong when she said things would get better on their own. 
The place doesn't look any less cursed than it was three weeks ago. The blood stains on the sheets looks as fresh as if they had just been spilled, and the air feels even heavier than last time.

Feeling uneasy, you still decide to search the room once more. You find yourself distracted as you can't shake off the feeling of somepony watching you. Not finding anything others that spiders which are all too happy to give your hoof a hug, you leave the room after a dozen minutes in a rather tense state, the evanescent mocking giggle of a mare echoing in your mind.

At the end of this week, Tide Novem announces you which type or research she may work on.

>Bottom-up brewing: 3 weeks to research.
Instead of a regular potion, you may create a new type of brew by adding up any number of effects among those you've already discovered. Each effect added to the potion costs 50 bits. Crits and fumbles do not apply. The 6 inches of growth automatically added with each tier of potion counts as an effect. You can only add effects within the limit of how many you're discovered on a regular potion. (If you only have 3 increases of butt size in your regular potion, you cannot incorporate more than 3 increases of butt size in a bottom-up potion). A bottom-up potion will only override the particular effects of a regular potion if the bottom-up effects are stronger. A regular potion will override all bottom-up effects. 
>Effect reassignment: 2 weeks to research.
Whenever you brew a potion, you may permanently inhibit up to two effects of your choice to roll that many new ones.
>Critical purity: 2 weeks to research.
When a crit is rolled on a potion, all following fumbles on the same potion are rerolled. When a fumble is rolled, all following crits on the same potion are rerolled. Crits and fumbles make a potion glow respectively with a green or red aura.
>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Tide Novem to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

Sulfury finished her research about Exploding crits, and all your subsequent potions will be affected unless you wish otherwise. You may assign her a new project to work on.
Available activities for Sulfury:
For your potions:

>Exploding Crits: (DONE)
Sulfury think she can tap into the most powerful effects of your potions to enhance the rest of their effects. With this upgrade, whenever you get a crit or a fumble on one of your potions, you will roll as many more random effects than the potion originally rolled. Crits and fumbles rolled that way are dismissed.
>Chaotic Range: 1 week to research. 
Instead of rolling several dices, the growth range of a potion will be determined by a single random number, increasing the chance to strike the extreme ends of the growth range. (for example, instead of Rollin 4d12 for the growth range, a random number between 4 and 48 will be chosen).
>Critical Focus: 3 weeks to research. 
Sulfury thinks she can increase the chances for the most powerful effects of your potions to show up. Will double the chance to get a crit or fumble at each random effect rolled.

For the defense of your estate:

>Explosive traps:  1 week to produce. 
Sulfury will install some sort of landmines at strategic spots of your estate. Any intruder triggering them will be met with a powerful blast of fire. Sulfury will 'try' to make sure the estate doesn't catch fire when the trap goes off.
>Shock Handles:  1 week to produce. 
Suflury will equip your locks and door handles with a trapped device which will send the equivalent of a lightning bolt through the body of any intruder trying to force its way in or to pick the equipped lock.
>Pounder-class Golem: 3 weeks to produce. Costs 300 bits in material. 
Sulfury will build a 5-feet tall steel automaton to defend you home. It will attack and pound any intruder until they leave your grounds or stop moving, all while blaring a very loud alarm as it comes in action.

Canopy Veil was out of town with Swamp Lily this week. When they return, Canopy Veil seem a little less depressed than last time.
"I think it's coming to me!" She tells you excitedly. "Right now, I can only grasp it just for a moment, but I think I can feel what's around me with my… eh… I don't know to explain it properly actually. Although it's rather elusive, and I still need Swamp Lily to help me figure things out."
"Another week, and you will no longer need my guidance." The druid pony declares. "You've been learning well, Canopy Veil. I am glad this is turning out fine."

This week, Swamp Lily should complete her research about Natural Growth.

This week : 3248 bits. - 27 (expanses) )- 50(beauty products)- 1000 (potion mk10*2)- 3000(new 24' floor)– 60(Suflury’s wage) – 100(interest from loan) + 1124 (income from Rose) + 787(income from Velvet Pillow) + 142 (income from Coal Vein)+1685 (income from show)+200(income from Butterswirl)+ 80 (Nails) – 193 (Rose's wage) – 50 (Canopy's's wage)- 50(Butterswirl's wage) -159(Velvet's wage) – 95(Coal's wage) = 3482 bits.

You have two different mk10 potion at your disposal.

>What do?

See you tomorrow for our weekly session.

You already have a good idea about which research you'll direct Tide Novem and Sulfury to. You think Bottom-up Crewing and Critical focus are the best choices, but you still have time to change your mind.
Before you visit your other mares, you decide to ask Tide Novem what would have happened if some of you cum had ended in the potion.
"I cannot tell for sure." Tide says. "It also depends at which time the addition is made. Once the potion is done, adding something like your sperm isn't gonna have any effect. During the brewing though, there's a chance such a random addition may trigger side effects of unknown nature, or even stop your potion from functioning altogether."

In all cases, Butterswirl doesn't like this idea, and she thinks you're really gross for planning things like that on purpose.

Also, you review the changes the last potion applied to Sandy Rose. You checked them when scanning Tide Novem but forgot to print the recordings on your machine. >>32523228

Next, you decide to show the letter you got to the mayor to the rest of your mares. They all look rather worried the mayor took interest in you, and it's Canopy Veil who looks the more concerned about this subject.
"This looks dangerous." Canopy speaks up after you read the invite out loud. "I'm not sure what he wants to talk about with you, but if he took the time to write to you personally, that means he expect you to obey without question. Imagine… in Equestria this would be like Celestia in person asking you to come to her castle, but instead of a kind ruler, this is a power-hungry conspirer we're talking about. If you don't go talk with him like he told you to, there will be… consequences." 

Other than that, it is a good day, your loan is already paid (It allowed you to spend 4000 bits when you had only 3000 available. Only the interest is noted because the rest is +1000 -1000 bits) so you can focus on growing your mares some more.

This time, it's the turn of the blue pony to drink the first of your two potions.

However, the unthinkable happens here. And after chugging the brew, Butterswirl suddenly starts to shrink in front of you.
"Aw, what again?" She whines in dismay as her from come closer to the ground again. And that's not the only thing she loses. Her butt thins, and her mane and freckles turn back to return to their original state.
In the end, she reaches 9 feet and 5 inches, a sickened look on her face.

You immediately check the effects of this potion on your recorder and… Where are all your effects gone? Only the additional dice remain, you even struck one more with this potion, as well as… a critical? Not a fumble, a critical which wiped out all the other effects of your potion.
But the display on the recorder is unusual… There's something weird going on, and perhaps you need to figure something out.

Like what kind of effect this critical had aside from destroying all the hard-earned growth and quicks your accumulated so far.

>What do?

7 on d 12

First Velvet Pillow. You deemed her trustworthy to grow the new heights, and give her the first of your mk10 potions.
"Oh my." Her wings flutter excitedly. "Am I gonna grow bigger than
"I wish you did." Rose chuckles. "I could use some for height too…"

The changeling eagerly drinks the potion, and squeal in delight as she starts to grow some more. N
"And now the best part…" Velvet braces herself as a fresh wave of arousal and growth hits her. He height increases ins spurts of 2 feet each, and each time Rose catches up to her instantly. The two mare lock their lips in a deep kiss while they keep growing, and you see their hoves travel down to stimulate the crotch of each other.






"Butterswirl, are you alright?" You ask the blue pony. You feel her confused through the link between you.
"Uh… I'm not sure…" She winces. "I certainly feel less good than a few moments ago, but I'm… okay I guess."

You manage to have to have Sulfury and Swamp Lily come over to help you make sense of this potion. Alongside Tide Novem, you examine the result on your display screen with a puzzled look on your faces.

"Wait a second." Sulfury eventually speaks out. "That 29 box… Show me the result of the previous potion!" And after examining them, the orange pagasus shows a victorious smile.
"Your effects went in that box, wizard." Sulfury states. "24 effect before, plus 5 from this roll. It checks out!"

"But how do we… activate the effects again? Butterswirl!" You turn to the blue pony. "Can you try… maybe focusing on getting bigger in some way?"
You feel her trying to do as you said, but she only shakes her head as she can't find a way to do that herself.

"Call me stupid but…" Sulfury steps forth. "Let me try something."
She puts a hoof on your screen, and you see a faint green glow as she traces a line from the green box with 29 inside to the 11-20 box.
As a result, Butterswil let out a small 'eep' as she shouts up 6 inches and a half, while one effect has returned into the 11-20 box. There's now 28 written in the green box.

"Your magic works in strange ways, Wizard." Swamp Lily states in amazement.
"Alright, so it's rebuild time!" You say with a grin. "For the growth, I'm gonna put everything in the 11-20 square!"

"Hold on, let me do a little math…" Sulfury starts pondering. "Currently, Butterswirl has 67 more inches than usual. Adding 10% means she gets 6.7 inches that way every time, but then the 6 inches effect would effectively add 6.6 inches with +10%, and then 7.2 inches with 20%, so…"

The orange pegasus scratches her head thoughtfully.
"The math to get the more growth is a bit complicated to do by head, but if I had to guess it should be something around half of the points into Growth Potency to make it the most efficient. Also, 1d12 inches means 6.5 inches on average, so the growth range has more potential to make your mares bigger if you're ready for a bit of random."

This anon got is all figured out. I am proud of this anon.

>What do?

You attempt to move away the effect you just placed, either to another box or to the unspent points, but it looks like it cannot move at all anymore. How you spend the effects now is final.

"Come over here Butterswirl!" You beckon the large pony. "See? We can rebuild the effects in whatever way we want! Do whatever you want, Butterswirl"
"I can? Let's see…"

Having followed your conversation with Sulfury, Butterswirl already knows how to proceed.
First, she immediately puts back two points into confidence and one point in health. You feel her relived as her mind eases up, and she's glad to have back this mane style you prefer on her.

"Alright, next…" She smiles deviously. "I still want to be the biggest somewhere!"
And there, Butterswirl puts five points into expanding her rear.

Her flanks start to inflate like a pair of balloons. Butterswirl was already a bit bottom-heavy with her average body by Equestrian standards, but there she returns out of the realm of what is naturally possible for a pony. You see her legs reshape slightly to accommodate the pluming masses of flesh, rising to make a sharp slope on her back.
Each of her buttocks are even bigger than her head when the growth comes to a halt. They protrude sharply from each side of her body and are clearly visible even when you see her from the front. The top of her ass comes as high as her the bottom of her jawline, and her mighty tail look thicker and longer than ever, perhaps even a tiny bit wider than her torso.

Most stallions would find he rear comically large and simply too big for their tastes at this point, but you're a lover for all that is big, and the sight of the two bouncy castles that are now Butterswirl's flanks just makes your mouth water.

"I'm no really sure about the rest." The blue pony tells you at this point. "Do you have any preference? I just think you're naughty enough for two, wizard… so just don't put anything into the lewd box. I don't really like the idea of this weird colt fiddling magic either. I mean, it doesn't even work on you..."
"So should I just make myself bigger?" She asks "Or should we put everything into the naughty growth, maybe? I would be able to become absolutely gigantic if we do that! And so would Rose…" She gives a hungry glance to the alicorn pony nearby.

What do?

You cannot withdraw the point Sulfury just assigned, or any other for that matter. Once a point is assigned, the effect becomes final.

You attempt to drag a point in a crit box, but as you expected, it doesn't work out, and nothing happens.

Then… you think you're gonna spend it all on growth. Unless, as Butterswirl suggested, you put it all in aroused-triggered growth. But if you do that, a couple points in lewdness could make things much more interesting…

"Uhm…" Butterswirl feels your last idea, and she doesn't like it. "I really don't like the idea of you making me slutier, Wizard. Confidence is alright. It really helps when you're big to not be afraid of knocking something or somepony down, but you making me more salacious on purpose just feels… wrong."

>What do?

"Oh! Sorry!" You apologize. "I didn't get what you meant earlier…"

Butterswirl already restored her confidence to her previous level. You have twenty effects left…
What to do, what to do… you ponder. Everything on lewd growth? This is an attractive option, but this might just be your weewee talking. Cuddles are good too, and some reliable size might be better in that regard. Especially since Butterswirl isn't working in sex. And she has you own libido to turn her on anyway.

Butterswirl lets you a sigh. 
"Gee, you're taking really long to decide, wizard!"

"Okay, Okay, I got it!" you declare, and start moving the points.
First, health. As you put another point in that box, Butterswirl's mane gets longer once more, and her coat seems shinier than ever. You also see her right eye become green again. Looks lie this was her original color.

One more point in health however, doesn't do anything visible anymore beside making her mane even longer. She's gonna need a trip to the mane dresser because her two tones mane has reached Rapunzel levels of length. Butterswirl's mane color doesn't change though, and even though her mane and coat feel even silkier than before, you can't tell for sure. Butterswirl has reached peak health already it seems.

You assign 4 points to the aroused triggered grown, and the rest goes to raw size. You assign the points according to what you calculated will make the blue pony the biggest, keeping in mind that the percentage of growth will also affect the 67 inches Butterswirl gained already.

Butterswirl grows with each effect you add. You're lucky, and the growth range is particularly generous with you, as more than once Butterswirl almost grows a whole foot with a single effect. When you assign the last point to Butterswirl, she has reached 23 feet and 6 inches in size.

"Oh my gosh!" Butterswirl stands on her read legs to peak over your estate. "I'm humongous! I'm probably the biggest mare to ever live!" 
"Keep dreaming, little one…" Rose, who now stand at 24 feet and 8 inches, comes to hug Butterswirl from behind.

You stare in awe at the two giantesses. Even the other mares only come up to half their size anymore, and you're the size of a mouse to them. You're at a loss of words about what to say at this point.

>what do?

Slowly, you approach Butterswirl like in a dream. Her legs are thicker than you are long, and looking up provides you with a breathtaking perspective of the giant pony's body.
"You two have become even more beautiful in my eyes." You let out a dreamy voice "My work is surpassing what I thought possible than I ever expected thank to all of your help. Thank you for everything."
"Aw… It's our little stud the cutest thing, Butterswirl Honey?" Rose purrs. "He makes us into beautiful and sexy giantesses, and he even thanks us for it."
"I'm gonna repeat myself, but I'm glad I ended up with you, Wizard!" Butterswirl grins at you. "Lots of fun things happened, and I made a bunch on new friends I love!"

You beam back at them. But then, an idea makes its way in your mind.

"Tide Novem?" You call. "I have a question."
"Yes, master?" Her voice echoes from Rose's body after a few seconds.

"About the ability you grant to outgrow other ponies. Does that work for all the ponies in the world?"
"No. I doesn't work that way." The potion-pony responds. "To activate this power, a pony must come close enough for my host to appreciate how much taller they are. Only then will they outgrown the other pony."

You ponder. That's good to know…
"Also… If you don't mind, Rose, I'd like to see how Butterswirl looks as an alicorn. Do you mind lending her Tide Novem for a minute?"

"Aw…" Rose sighs dejectedly. "And I just became so big… Alright, alright. But just for a minute, please."

Rose lets out a disappointed sigh as she shrinks under the 10 feet mark after Tide Novem leaves her body. The green goo mare then immediately jumps on Butterswirl and merges with her. 
In a flash of light, Butterswirl feel herself shrinking, but at the same time she's invigorated with the essence of a princess, her body reshaping into the lithe frame of proper royalty.

And here is Butterswirl, standing at 15 feet and 4 inches.
Now with a horn!

"Look at me wizard!" She beams excitedly. "I'm a pony dragon princess now! This is so awesome! I wonder if I can do magic…"
On these words, the blue princess concentrates. She taps into your knowledge about the use of magic and her horn lights up with a bubbly golden aura. But quickly, you understand her possibilities are much vaster than your owns as an alicorn. And too excited, she simply pours all her enthusiasm about transformation into her horn. She's about to unleash a princess-tier burst of magic charged with effects beyond your comprehension!

>What do?

“BUTTERSWIRL! What are you doing!” You shout with both your mouth and through the link between you.
“I don’t know!” She exclaims back, too excited to stop her spell at this point. “But I think it’s gonna be awesome!”

Awesome by Butterswirl standards… that sounds like dangerous. Coal Vein and Canopy Veil agree on that, and they were fast enough to get cover. Rose, However, was too close and too surprised to react in time, and Velvet Pillow simply stares at Buttereswirl charging her spell with a bemused look on her face…

Listening only you your courage, you leap in front of Rose and Velvet Pillow to block the spell… and fail to protect them at all.
You’re about 2 feet and a half while they’re taller than 8 feet, so your attempt is quite pathetic. Good thing you’re small enough and that they have their attention focused on the Buttercorn, and nopony notices you embarrassing yourself. Props for trying, though.

Butterswirl’s magic creates a blast of golden light which hits you, her, Rose and Velvet Pillow. It feels like your whole body starts to fizzle for a moment, and there’s rainbow-coloured fireworks in front of your eyes. It’s not painful, but tickles uncomfortably.
It stops as abruptly as it started, and you hit the ground with a soft *thud* a second later. You quickly climb back to your hooves to see what happened.

Butterswirl underwent the most obvious change, as her mane transformed into a mass of octopus-like tentacles. The blue alicorn marvels at her new eldritch cut, the tentacles coiling around her hooves and coming to poke her snout. It seems like Butterswirl can control these.

“Woah! Look at me girls!” She exclaims. “Do that look rad as Tartarus or what?”
"Uhm… yes it does." Velvet Pillow answers, sounding unsure. "I think it does at least…"
For a second you think her crossed eyes were a result the daze from the spell, but as she can't seem to focus them at all, you're afraid Butterswirl's spell just messed with Velvet Pillow a little. The changeling looks a little goofy like that.

Rose remains silent, and only nods at the blue alicorn, her face covered with a deep blush.
Your other mares probably can't see it from their perspective, but from your point of view the change in Rose's body is quite obvious. From two discreet bumps around her crotch, Rose's udders swelled into two well-defined half-spheres under her. On the scale of the large unicorn mare, these must feel like they're the size of apples, but would look more like cantaloupes for the average pony, and almost like watermelons from your diminutive size. A meaty black teat stands proudly on each of these mounds.

"And what about you Wizard?" Butterswirl turns to you, but you feel her confused as she can only she your hat floating a bit above the ground. And yet, she knows you’re here, she can see you seeing her looking at you in this exact space. 
"Wizard!" Butterswirl exclaims after a second, and comes with a hoof to poke your snout. "You… You turned invisible I think!"

>What do?

[spoiler]Yes. Maahfah's invitation is next week. I though saying next week during the recap would be ambiguous, so I hoped this would sound simpler. Turned out it wasn't.[/spoiler]

"Is everypony alright?" You call around, and the three mares answer with a nod, with varying degrees of confidence, though. Coal Vein and Canopy Veil come out of their cover too. It seems like these two mares successfully evaded the spell.

"Well, for your first time casting a spell, that was amazing Butterswirl!" You declare. "I would give you a big kiss if I could reach you up there."

"Can be arranged!" Butterswirl grins, and she lowers her head to catch you with the mass of her mane. The tentacles are sleek and slippery, but the little suckers soon secure a firm grasp on you. You don't think you could get away if you wanted.

Butterswirl then brings you to her face where she places a big warm kiss on your head. And you answer with a smooch on the alicorn's massive snout.
"Heehee!" She giggles. "It's kinda fun being kissed by an invisible little wizard!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not sure me being invisible all the time may not be the best." You say. "And I don't want some of you to inadvertently step on me if I lose my hat." 
Butterswirl frowns at this point. She's a bit surprised to feel that what you just said is only a half-truth. 

"Also, Velvet Pillow picked the short straw from your spell. Can you try helping her?"
"Yes. I know you meant no harm, Butterswirl." The changeling sheepishly says. "But I liked my vision better when I saw only one of you."

"Uhm… yes, hold on…" Butterswirl concentrates again, but even with your mental guidance, it's clear she won't be able to cast anything else than the wild burst of magic she just let out. It may work with some training, but right now the blue alicorn can't achieve anything with her magic other than… letting it all out.
You may try to go for another blast like the last one whenever you want, though.

You decide to take that inside and consult Swamp Lily about this.
Before that, you ask Velvet Pillow to turn back to her true form to see how her eyes are with her original changeling body. The mare gets a little shy about it, though, and goes in her room to check that.
"Uhm… My eyes look fine without a disguise…" She tells you. "But my vision is still weird, even if I'm not transformed."

After examining your lot for a minute, Swamp Lily gives you her conclusion.
"That magic is powerful, yes. It will be permanent without further intervention." The swamp mare states. "But this spell is also fickle. Dispelling is will be easy, but will take a bit of time to play in safe. A simple cast at the beginning of each day for a week will be enough."

"But what if I gave you Tide Novem?" You ask
"I'd rather not have her." Swamp Lily shakes her head. "I made a vow of humility you could say, and I do not wish to wield such power. The condition of our friends is stable, and not too dire. I see no need to rush."

"Alright… and what about letting Velvet Pillow with Tide Novem? Will alicorn magic help healing her?"
"This is a tricky question." Swamp answers, still pondering. "How the health effects you created treat something as an aliment or not remains a mystery to me. And I'm not even sure this alicorn power works exactly the same way. I cannot tell what will happen in advance if you do that."

>What do?

This permanent invisibility might have some use, you think. You were already pretty deft with your teleportation spell, and you know how to get yourself out of trouble.
If you found a way to control this invisibility, this could be one more trick up your sleeve. Maybe you could take some time, or have one of your assistants help you figure out a way to control this new boon.

Maafah's invitation occupies a big part of your mind since last week. But for now you set that aside. You still have plenty of time to plan that out. You need to take care of the mare in front of your eyes right now.

"Are you gonna be ok staying like that for a week?" You ask Velvet Pillow.
"Hum… yes, I think so." She nods. "I'm just gonna have to be extra careful. Good thing your magic will help me keep safe the ponies I share my love with."

"And… are you good with your changes, Butterswirl?"
You didn't need to ask really. You feel that Butterswirl is really happy with her original new mane, and she think about casting her spell again in the future. But Butterswirl feels what you have in mind, and she too is a bit curious about Rose.

"I love my new mane!" Butterswirl exclaims. "I'm gonna have lots of fun with these!"
And then, the blue alicorn leans to whisper in Rose's ear.
"But how about you?" She smiles mischievously. "Are you happy with what my spell did to you, Rose?"

"It's… interesting I guess." Rose answers, still looking a bit flustered. "But you two sound like you love that kind of stuff, right? Well… If I'm struck with these for at least week, I might as well try and see how they feel in the bedroom."
"Wait, you mean you don't like your new… assets?" You say "You don't have to accept if that's the case."

"Don't worry, stud. I'm just… ambivalent about them right now." Rose answers with a playful smile. "I know some stallions have a liking for this, but the feelings are a bit new, and I never really played on that part of my body."
She chuckles. "So many years in, and I still get surprised by my job… Alright, stud. Follow me to my room so we can test these new love pillows of mine."

She turns to Butterswirl.
"So will I have only a little colt to take care about? Or do need to worry about this big girl over there too? Also, do I get Tide Novem back already or do you want to see how I fare at this size first?"

>What do?

You do your best not to let your own lust influence Butterswirl to answer Rose's question.
"Mmmh… I'm gonna let the two of you have fun alone this time." She answers. "There's some non-lewd fun things I want to test with my new mane!" She says excitedly.

With that, the blue pony goes to the kitchen to make herself a cover of tinfoil. She does it without hooves or magic, only using her tentacles to manipulate the stuff while you follow Rose to her room at the best of your speed.

Once you arrive in her bedroom, Rose lies on her back on the bed, and carries you until on her chest with her magic. She spreads her legs wide, giving you a beautiful view on her bust down her body. The two mammaries are as wide as your head, and look taut and firm. They only press slightly against each other, and the teats mounting them point slightly outward. Each nub is as wide as half your hoof, and protrude by a similar height.

"Alright stud." Rose says. "What shall we do with my new pillows? Just so you know, Butterswirl didn't half-ass her spell. I feel kinda… bloated down here. And it's a bit uncomfortable to tell the truth. I guess this can only mean one thing… As always, it's your call about how we start this."

At this point, you're alone in your mind.

>What do?

"I'm not gonna tell you." You tell the large mare. "You're gonna have and wait to see for yourself."
You lose the hat at this point, then walk toward the twin half-spheres on Rose's crotch.
"What's the matter?" Rose giggles. "Do you have something you want to hide from me, stud? I can still feel you walking around, you know."

You smile to yourself, and process to your goal. Soon, you're standing in front of Rose's twin watermelons. First, you start to massage them gently. They're hard, and barely give up under your hooves, so you decide to push harder, kneading Rose's flesh like a kitten would do to soften them.

"Ah…" Rose coos in reaction "This feels nice, stud. Keep going. My sore teats love your little hooves."
Obeying you mare, you stroke her huge mounds some more. You can feel them heat up slightly, and the black teats swell a little under your attention.

You start to focus on one mammary in particular. You lower your head and start to kiss the big boob. First its base, and through a series of smooches you slowly you climb closer to the teat, burying you head along the way in the flesh which has softened quite a bit at this point.
Rose shivers as you run your tongue on the length on her nipple, and she starts to breathe heavily when you lick the black nub and the flesh all around it.

At this point, you decide it's time you got a taste. You open your mouth, and slowly start to take the dark protrusion in your mouth, and then gently suckle on the meaty teat.
"Oh…" Rose lets out a slow gasp of pleasure. "You couldn't resist, right stud? But this is good… my teats feel so hot, and so good… please keep doing that, stud!"

You feel her body twitch as you run your tongue along the big nub in your mouth, and try to suck on it. You feel Rose's pulse shake her swollen tits, but you only taste the musky aroma of Rose's flesh at first.

But then, it starts with a drizzle. A tiny bit of humidity hits your tongue each time you suckle of Rose's tit. It's watery, but has a hint of sugar and flowers.
You suck harder, and sound the flow of milk start to increase.
"Oh… This feels so nice, stud…" Rose produce purrs of relief as you drink gulp after gulp of her milk. "You're taking one big burden off me right now, and it's so good… Never mind, I'm definitely keeping these little puppies with me!"

You keep drinking from Rose's tap, rubbing yourself in the mound at this point. It keeps getting softer and softer as you drain the breast from it's milk, and soon your hooves and head can sink deep is the plump udder. The large mare simply leans back and enjoys your ministration on her body, letting on a series of dreamy sighs as you drink all the delicious milk she has to offer.

Eventually, the flow of liquid start to subside. Rose's tit has become almost as soft as a water mattress, and you can only get small bursts of milk from her at this point. Your tummy's rather full already.  

"Half-way done, stud." You hear Rose say lusciously. "You're not gonna leave me with one aching tit, are you? It's so full of milk… It feels like it's gonna erupt as the slightest touch…"

>What do?

"I don't know… maybe I should." You tease the larger mare, leaning on your back and using Rose's tit as the softest of all pillows under your head. "Maybe some sweet talk could convince your stallion to take care of your needs..."

Rose seems surprised for a second, but then she lets out a small chuckle.
"Playing the spoiled child, are we?" She smiles. "So be it. I need you stud. I need you really bad.  I need you to take care of my huge, swollen tit. It's so hot right now… I feel like it's gonna burst! You make me feel so good when you rub my huge tits, when you suck on it and make all the milk come out. Please, I just want more. So just do whatever you want to my huge bust. These two puppies are yours forever. And when I become a princess again, can you imagine how huge they'll be? I'm gonna be able to smother you between my soft mountains. Just milk me dry, stud. Now. Today. And tomorrow. Everyday you can play with my tits, and as I grow they'll get bigger and bigger. More tits. More milk for you, stud, always more! All you have to do for that, is to take care of my giant udders forever…"

You smile. You're feeling a bit thirsty again.

"A wise decision, stud…" Rose purrs as you slowly shift to take care of her second mammary, your belly heavy with a generous serving of her milk already.

As Rose said, this tit became feverishly hot from the waiting. Using your magic, you make sure this full volcano doesn't go off too soon. You simply circle around it at first, placing quick but forceful pecks on the tense globe of fat and milk. Rose shudders at each touch, and gasps slightly after a few times. 

"Ah…" Rose moans and bites her lower lip. "Don't make a lady wait, stud. I swear my tit is just going to explode at this rate! You're torturing me!"

Yes, this might be the time. You have something a little devious in mind for what's next. You position yourself over the watermelon-sized mound, having to spread your legs wide to go around it, and line up your erect cock with the meaty black teat of Rose.

You're gonna have to be quick to make this work. Rose hums quizzicaly as she feels the tip of your shaft kiss her nipple, but she can't see what you're about to do. They're roughly the same size, so it's gonna be a very tight fit… but you just want to try this.

Using your magic, you stretch Rose's teat open and ram your dick inside.

"WAAAAOOOOUUUCCCHHH!" Rose instantly screams in a mix of pain and pleasure. Her body twists and she thrust her crotch upward in reaction. You've released your magic, your penis snuggly buried inside Rose's teat. The pressure inside is insane. You got bold with that move, and Rose's flesh bud is not nearly wide enough to accommodate a penetration like this one. It's like there's a hot and giant rubber band squeezing your shaft on all its length.

And at the same time, you feel Rose's hot milk on the tip of your penis. The intrusion allowed some of the liquid to come out, and dribbles of milk start erupt around your swollen member. And despite how tight of a fit this is, you have enough lubrication to start pumping your cock up and down the swollen mammary.

"What are you doing stud?!" Rose calls in panic between two blissful pants. "What the fuck are you doing to my nipple?! AAAH!"
Rose's mound become increasingly tense as you fuck it. You feel it swell, and the flesh pulsate harder and harder under the painful stimulation. There's a wet squirting sound as a bit of milk escape each time you thrust you cock inside. The white liquid wets you whole crotch, and Rose's teat too is getting soaked in milk.

The tight grip on your shaft, the rodeo on Rose's rearing body, and the sweet scent of her milk are soon too much to bear for you. With a grunt, you lose control your body, and your cock gets ejected from Rose's nipple. The molested teat can't refrain the liquid inside to erupt anymore, and a geyser of milk burst from the mare's mound, showering you with her bounty while your cock spits out your own white liquid on both Rose's breasts.

The unicorn finally calms down after that, and you're both left panting on the bed, milk still lazily dripping of the nipple you forced open.

"Growth Wizard!?" Rose blurts at you, a look of shock on her face. "Did you just… fuck my nipple!?"

For a second, you though this was gonna end badly, but then a flurried smile appears on her face.
"Wow, alright!" Rose says, sounding a bit confused. "Now that's something I didn't expect… Yesterday I barely had any tits and now some stallion manages to put his cock through my nipple. Geez! Warm me next time you want to do something like that, stud!"

>What do?

"Some stallion?" You act offended. "I'm pretty sure it wasn't just 'some stallion' that managed to do that, maybe I just have to try harder to make sure you remember who it was!"
"Don't play dumb too much, stud." Rose shows you a toothy grin. "If your start doing some really retarded shit, like trying fuck my earholes of something, I'm actually gonna kill you!"

You chuckle. "Just kidding. I got curious, and I just couldn't resist. Didn't want to spoil the surprise either! I hope that didn't deter you from keeping your new tits. You'll hold onto these you think? They look like they lost a bit of volume since we started. They should remain at a manageable size if you keep them… exercised."

"Yeah, these are…" Rose starts to draw circles around her soft mammary. "Fine additions I guess. And I suppose you'll be available to keep them… exercised, like you said."
"I sure will" You nod, and slowly motion to drink from her abused nipple. You suckle as gently as you can un the pulsating bud, Rose humming softly in relief.

"So… I really like the natural you, Rose..." You say once you're with filled with enough milk to feed a family of four. "But talking about how big these could get... I'm gonna go snatch Tide from Butterswirl real quick!"
"Eh… Next time honestly." Rose stops you, lazily stirring her hooves. "I got my share of action for today. But if you want to get the first move on the teats of giant me… mmmh… yeah, I'm gonna take a week off I think. I got some money to spend, and that way I'll be around to help Velvet. Also…" She gives you a playful grin. "I'll be fully available for a daily milking like this. How does that sound, stud?"

>What do?

"You want me to milk you daily?" You can refrain a grin from forming on your face. "That sounds like a dream come true! You're making it really hard for me not to fall for you, Miss Rose.  Unless that's your attention…"
"You're my favorite admirer, stud." She smirks back. "Of course I want to make sure your eyes remain glued on me."

"I just hope I'm not gonna get too fat… You don't mind if Butterswirl participates?"
"Not at all. We're gonna need the two of you if I get become a princess once more. But don't worry, I don't absolutely need Tide Novem for a week of resting. If she's available though… I surely wouldn't mind her with me!"
At these words, the idea of selling alicorn milk comes to your mind. You're not sure how Rose would react, but the liquid would surely have some awesome properties! You'll have to think about that next week…

For now, you also have a second potion to use on another of your mares. But before that…
"I'm glad you're taking some time to rest, Rose. After all you've done for us, you really deserve it! And spending more time with you sounds absolutely perfect. You're not too worn out to do a little kissing, right?"

The mare giggle in response. She takes you in her magic to her face and lock her plump lips with yours. Her lips are humongous, but compared to your previous encounters, this kiss almost feels like an actual one, even if Rose's tongue is three times bigger than yours.
She gently penetrates your mouth with her muscles, filling it with her taste, and then retreats when you're just short of starting to choke. There, she lets you breathe for a second, her warm and humid breath washing all over your face.

After a dozen minutes of this treatment, you both return to the common room, where you find Butterswirl in the middle of building a house of cards with her tentacles. You see her concentrate really hard to have her sucker let go of the jack of blades gently enough to not make everything fall over, but unfortunately she fails, and let out a small disappointed huff as her three-floor structure collapses in front of her eyes.

Coal Vein it here too, sitting on the couch where she gently pets Paka, a content smile on her face.

>What do?

"Don't worry, you'll get better Butterswirl!" The mare perks up as you approach. "Three floors is already impressive!"
"Hehe, Thanks Wizard!" She gives you a cheerful grin. "Sounds like you had some good fun with Rose too." 

"We sure did." Rose answers. "And we're gonna have some more in the upcoming week."
"Yeah, she's taking a break next week." You add. "Do you mind helping her 'relax' a little, Butterswirl?"

The blue mare blinks quizzically, not knowing what you're talking about. With a tentacle, she lifts the tinfoil on her head, and suddenly she knows exactly what you're talking about.
She grows a couple of feet from learning about your experience from a few minutes ago and the promise of taking care of giant Rose tits. Needless to say, she'll gladly be there.

"Also… you can use that spell whenever you want again." You tell her. "Just make sure to ask the other ponies in the room first."
"Will do!" She grins, a glint in mischief in her eyes. "But not today. You have to spread the fun responsibly, Wizard…"

"If you're not using Tode Novem then, maybe she can come out of you."
"Sure!" She nods, and Tide Novem returns to her gooey form in front of you.
Butterswirl almost instantly grows back to 23 feet and a half, and her butt is once more the stuff of legends. But to your disappointment, her tentacles do not end up matching her mane length from earlier and remain about the same length, proportionally speaking, than when she was an alicorn. The tentacles are still really impressive when matching this size. There's gonna be an outbreak of kraken stories if this pony ever goes to the sea.

And after all you're done with her, you're taken with a sudden urge to kiss the blue pony. She feels that, and without a word she picks you up to smother your whole face against her lips. You're only able to kiss back a small portion of her massive lips, but she's happy you still love her even with all the weird dragon and octopus parts.
After your lips part, she gives your tiny form a fond look, before hugging you against her cheek. She then releases you on the ground.

After that, you decide to approach Coal Vein. The grey mare watches you come closer with her usual serious look, still gently stroking the back of the black cat.
"Hey Coal Vein." You start a bit awkwardly. "I'm not disturbing you?" She shakes her head. "I just thought this might be a good time to get to know you a little better. Do you mind telling me a little more about you?"

"Mmh…" She nods absently. "I was born in Klugetown. My parents left when I was twelve. I've been punching ponies for a living ever since. Now I'm working for you. That's about it."

"If you've got questions, ask away." She adds after a few seconds, still focusing her eyes on Paka who's currently rolling on his back for belly rubs. "There's some things I won't answer, though."

"Well… You doing alright?"
"Yeah, you ponies are nice. And the work is less of a hassle than I thought."

"Settling in okay?"
"This place is better than my last one, so yeah."

"Do you have any questions maybe?"
Coal Vein simply shakes her head at that.

"Now, let's imagine for a second. If I was Paka's size, compared to you, what would you do to me?"
Coal Vein looks at you, and then the cat again.

"You're not far of the cat's size." She answers "But I wouldn't do anything special to you. You're not a cat after all, no matter how small you get."
"Nothing at all? Are you sure?" You show her a cheeky smile. "We'll find out soon enough anyway, you know…"
Coal Vein simply pouts and shrugs in response, before lowering her muzzle to blow a gentle raspberry on Paka's belly.

>What do?

"Also, speaking of that, I may need to have some punching going on in the future." You tell Coal Vein. "I would prefer not to if I don't have to, and only for a short time, but you'd still be up for it, right? It turns out this whole 'size enterprise' in Klugetown isn't all unicorns and rainbows after all…"
"That wasn't part of our contract." Coal Vein coldly states, while she pokes Paka's paw with the soft of her hoof. "So it's gonna cost you extra. Also, you should know there's ponies you can't punch in Klugetown, even when you're 10 feet tall."

"Alright…" You take your remaining potion out of your hat. "Then we must go bigger. And you taking this potion IS part of the contract."

It is indeed, and Coal Vein takes the potion without a word, then drinks it all while she motions outside. She soon grows with every step she takes, and has to quicken her pace slightly to get out before having to lower her head.
Her growth continues for quite some time outside, and you see Coal Vein gasp silently as the scars of her body start to disappear. Her legs, torso, back, face, and even her chipped ear return to a pristine state. The mare examines herself with a silent look of awe on her face while she finishes her growth, her coat and mane also looking a good deal for vibrant than before. She reaches 17 feet and 2 inches when the first phase of growth stops.

The next surge of growth takes her by surprise, and has her let out a muffled grunt of pleasure. She gained 5 more feet in a second, and she can't refrain her powerful moan as a second spurt propels her 5 feet higher. She pants louder and louder as she keeps gaining inch after inch after that, her eyes closed while her whole body covers itself in sweat.
With a desperate grunt, she reaches 31 feet and 9 inches, and Coal's titanic body trembles as a powerful orgasm overtakes her.

After a few seconds, the beefy mare lets herself fall on her side in the afterglow, creating a shockwave which shakes all nearby constructions. Her legs and body can almost touch the two sides of the street at this point, and her wide backside reaches almost as high as the first floor of your estate with how muscular the buttocks of the grey mare are.

Still, going from loud pants to a more stable breathing, Cola Vein manages to calm herself rather fast, and in only a minute she returns to the height of 17 feet and 2 inches.
"The higher ceilings will be done next week, right?" She asks as she stands back on her hooves, and looks pleased as you nod back. She then returns inside, probably to search for Paka again.

Examining the results of your potion, you struck health, lewdness, lewd magic, and a bit of growth range with that potion. You may choose to base your next level of potion from either this one of the one which struck a crit for Butterswirl.

You also decide to give Tide Novem to Rose again. The unicorn gladly accepts to regain her princesshood, and grows back to over 25 feet again since Butterswirl is nearby. The first thing she does at this point, is to bring her crotch near the ground, legs spread so you get a full view of her golden globes, each sloshing slightly under their own weight. The two mounds of titflesh are wider than you are tall, and the dark nub mounting them is as large as your snout.
Like in a dream, you motion closer to touch the twin golden marvels, to squeeze, hug and knead them… but a giant wing soon come to bar the way.

"Tsk, tsk." Rose shakes her head. "Tomorrow, stud. That's your punishment for being a spoiled child earlier."
And on these words, she squeezes herself outside, and flies to another part of town, leaving you feeling REALLY thirsty.

>What do?

And that's in for this week.
Blah blah feedback ideas commands, you know the drill.

From the commands I already have, this week, you will :
-	Have 'fun' with Rose and Butterswirl
-	Use your invisibility ability to try and get information on the desert tribes Maafah subjugated
-	Torture Butterswirl with terrible humour.
-	Ask Butterswirl, Velvet Pillow, Canopy Veil, Coal Vein for gift ideas for them.
-	Discuss with all your mares about the upcoming encounter with Maafah
-	Write a letter/send one of your mares to excuse yourself for missing the meeting with the mayor.
-	Making a big Paka plush? Maybe

Sulfury finished her research about Exploding crits, and all your subsequent potions will be affected unless you wish otherwise. You may assign her a new project to work on.
Available activities for Sulfury:
For your potions:

>Exploding Crits: (DONE)
Sulfury think she can tap into the most powerful effects of your potions to enhance the rest of their effects. With this upgrade, whenever you get a crit or a fumble on one of your potions, you will roll as many more random effects than the potion originally rolled. Crits and fumbles rolled that way are dismissed.
>Chaotic Range: 1 week to research. 
Instead of rolling several dices, the growth range of a potion will be determined by a single random number, increasing the chance to strike the extreme ends of the growth range. (for example, instead of Rollin 4d12 for the growth range, a random number between 4 and 48 will be chosen).
>Critical Focus: 3 weeks to research. 
Sulfury thinks she can increase the chances for the most powerful effects of your potions to show up. Will double the chance to get a crit or fumble at each random effect rolled.

For the defense of your estate:

>Explosive traps:  1 week to produce. 
Sulfury will install some sort of landmines at strategic spots of your estate. Any intruder triggering them will be met with a powerful blast of fire. Sulfury will 'try' to make sure the estate doesn't catch fire when the trap goes off.
>Shock Handles:  1 week to produce. 
Suflury will equip your locks and door handles with a trapped device which will send the equivalent of a lightning bolt through the body of any intruder trying to force its way in or to pick the equipped lock.
>Pounder-class Golem: 3 weeks to produce. Costs 300 bits in material. 
Sulfury will build a 5-feet tall steel automaton to defend you home. It will attack and pound any intruder until they leave your grounds or stop moving, all while blaring a very loud alarm as it comes in action.

Researches available for Tide Novem.

>Bottom-up brewing: 3 weeks to research.
Instead of a regular potion, you may create a new type of brew by adding up any number of effects among those you've already discovered. Each effect added to the potion costs 50 bits. Crits and fumbles do not apply. The 6 inches of growth automatically added with each tier of potion counts as an effect. You can only add effects within the limit of how many you're discovered on a regular potion. (If you only have 3 increases of butt size in your regular potion, you cannot incorporate more than 3 increases of butt size in a bottom-up potion). A bottom-up potion will only override the particular effects of a regular potion if the bottom-up effects are stronger. A regular potion will override all bottom-up effects. 
>Effect reassignment: 2 weeks to research.
Whenever you brew a potion, you may permanently inhibit up to two effects of your choice to roll that many new ones.
>Critical purity: 2 weeks to research.
When a crit is rolled on a potion, all following fumbles on the same potion are rerolled. When a fumble is rolled, all following crits on the same potion are rerolled. Crits and fumbles make a potion glow respectively with a green or red aura.
>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Tide Novem to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

This week, Swamp Lily should complete her research about Natural Growth.

Nails will start building the new floor this week. You already paid for everything. The works will take 1 week if Nails has Butterswirl to help her, 2 weeks otherwise.

You have 3482 bits available. The next tier of potion costs 550 bits. You may choose to base your next level of potion from either of the mk10 potion you made.

Offers currently on the table:
For 3000 bits: you may buy an aircraft to send workers search for ingredients for 200 bits weekly. Having the merchant who currently sells you the ingredients give the orders guarantees you up to 1000 bits of free ingredients each week.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.
For 500 bits: Best Defense will personally track down any trespasser her traps fail to catch.
Canopy Veil still needs to spend 1 week with Swamp Lily to complete her training.




This week, you and Velvet Pillow will have Swamp Lily dispel the effects from Butterswirl’s spell. Before that, though, you decide to go investigate in town a little. Hopefully your invisibility will help you get some interesting information about Maafah and the desert ponies she subjugated.

Without clear direction though, you only learn a few new things. You overhear some ponies discussing the strange party or shrunk ponies among themselves, and it seems they only remained in Klugetown for a day. They bought enough food and alcohol for a feast, as well as a grand amount of red fabric. A good amount of incense and other ritual components were also purchased. The ponies you hear were surprised to see the desert folk so blissful and careless, as they’re usual rather harsh ponies. They suspect you might have something to do with it because of the size anomaly, but do not sound like they think too much about it.

You also do a bit of spying on your ingredient provider. The guy mostly works in a rather honest fashion in seems. You only once see a pony wearing a long cape enter his shop when nopony else is here, or so they think… The tenant gives him a package from under the counter without any word, and the pony leave as swiftly as he came.
Odd… but ultimately none of your concern.

You follow him to the dock when he goes pick up his merchandise too, and see nothing out of the ordinary as he transport everything. He even chats idly with the member of the crew which accompanies him back to his shop.

There’s also something else you absolutely have to do while you’re invisible. With each of your mares. No exception.

Tide Novem is the easiest to catch. While the little goo pony works in the lab, using a black board to organize her thoughts, you simply sneak up on her.
And when she takes a few steps back to get a better view of her whole work, she stumbles on your face, and her cool and squishy behind end up sitting on your snout.

“Master?” She turns quizzically to face you. “Is there something you want to tell me?”
“Nothing special.” You answer. “You can go on with your work.”
“Very well.” She nods, and start to observe the blackboard once more while using the bridge of your snout as a chair.

You can't keep your tinfoil hat for long enough to prevent Butterswirl from seeing you project. She has no problem with helping you in this mission, though. One morning, just as you wake up, you're met with the impossibly vast expanse of Butterswirl's ass filling your whole vision. And before you can react, the blue mountain squishes you, trapping you between your mattress and the heavenly heavy yet supple buttflesh of the blue pony. You can't resist hugging and kissing the magnificent butt, your excitement only feeding more weight and fat into it.
"Careful there, Wizard." Butterswirl says as she frees you against your will from her behind. "I'm gonna burst of the place if we get too excited. I can grow to almost 50 feet with the combinaison of effect you've given me…"

This is true… and on another note, that means whoever under Tide's effects will grow to over 49' if they meet an aroused Butterswirl. And then… you reckon the growth from arousal can apply after sizing up to outgrow another pony. The rate of aroused growth with Tide Novem is 220%, so in the case of Rose… She could grow to 103 feet tall if she gets aroused after catching up in size to an aroused Butterswirl!

The fact the 100 foot mark is actually within your reach turns you on like nothing else, and Buttterswirl has to quickly go outside before her growth causes some irredeemable damage to your lab.

Since it's been quite some time she's been at the same size, Canopy Veil has adapted again a little, and your invisibility helps you little getting her to sit on you. After observing what she does everyday, you end up choosing the perfect moment. You wait for her to finish her breakfast, and position yourself to a very specific place on the couch. You lie motionlessly for 5 minutes. Invisible, not making any noise. You have become the couch at this point.

And when Canopy Veil comes back, you're at the exact spot where she comes to do some casual reading, and serve yourself a big hugful on her chocolate flanks when she sits.

You don't even have to plot anything regarding Velvet Pillow. The changeling simply trips on the floor one day and her massive flanks came crashing down on you without you even asking for it.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry!" She exclaims in a panic as she stumbles to get up "Are you alright Wizard?"
"Don't worry. I'm fine." You tell her in all honesty.

Coal Vein too doesn't pose any problem to you either. The mare cant's resist petting the little black cat you have at home, so one time she come out of a shower you simply wait on the couch at an adequate distance from the sleeping Paka. Coal Vein climbs on the couch, and just as planned her rock-hard flanks fall right on you, sinking you deep in the sofa.

"I'm gonna assume you did this on purpose, and that you know what you're doing." You hear the dark mare's muffled voice after a few seconds of awkward silence... "So I guess you also want to stay there a little."
You spend the next five minutes completely incapable of moving, pinned tight beneath the mare's heavy mountain of muscles. Coal Vein shifts only occasionally, and you can get a personal feel of her prodigious flanks contracting atop you for some seconds.

You gasp for fresh air when Coal Vein jumps of the couch, but the grey mare doesn't even turn back to acknowledge your presence.

Rose spends her week mostly without Tide Novem. Probably because her idea of holiday involves going out at night until dawn and getting plastered, and then sleeping in until the middle of the afternoon.

By the way, this allows you to easily achieve a face-to-rear contact with her. You simply wait on her bed after hearing her stumble in at the end of the night, and her sweaty flank soon comes falling down on you.
"Huh? Who left a wizard on my bed?" Rose pick you up with her magic. She looks very drunk, and show you a wobbly smile before taking you in a slow hug. "Here let me put you in a more suitable place, stud."

And there she falls like a dead weight on her bed, instantly plunging into the deep rest of the inebriated, still holding you tight against her large body.

After her beauty sleep, Rose often goes to town to do some shopping or get a massage or some other beauty treatment.
"Can you believe that? They don't have my size!" She tells you with a feigned indignation one day.

But there's one time of the day Rose always comes to borrow Tide Novem.

When Rose wakes up in the afternoon, the first thing she does is to come to you so you can take care of her new assets,which swelled with milk during the night. Even if they never became saturated like the first day.
Rose made you a promise earlier, and indeed you're the first pony to get a taste of her as an alicorn. She's also large enough to smother you between her two supple boobs, the particular dynamics of the milk-filled mounds encasing you body in a delicious velvety touch while still making you feel the heavy weight of the liquid sloshing inside them.

But what really surprises you is that Rose's milk tastes nothing like when she wasn't an alicorn. From regular milk with a bit of an exotic flavor, the pearl-white creamy liquid which now comes out of the mare tits fills like a divine brew. It feels like liquid silk on your tongue and mouth, and both quenches your thirst like a cold drink, yet at the same time makes a warm tingle radiate through all your body. The flavor is divine, with hints of almond, honey, brown sugar, vanilla and a strong smell of roses. It is by far the best thing you've ever had, and you keep suckling on Rose's teats far long after you belly is full.

And yet, instead of the drowsiness that should have come after such a heavy meal, you find yourself full of energy, more alert, and your mind solving problems faster than you normally do. You're feeling at you very best, and yet you keep filling that way for the rest of the day.

It is to note that at milking hour, Butterswirl is working on building the new floor of your estate this week. And on the second day of milking, she decides to take a break to come help you relieve the alicorn of her load.
Nails soon learns about the nature of this pause, and she too not comes to get a taste of Rose's wonderful mammaries. The alicorn is even kind enough to grant the same boon to Nail's workers, who become curious of what kind of wonderful activity had their boss refreshed in only a few minutes.

Your other workers too end up learning about this… special break time. Velvet Pillow was the first to come back at this hour for a delicious refreshment after hearing from Nails. They seem skeptical at first, but then even Coal Vein and Canopy Veil come to try this new brew.

Rose is delighted by this turn of event, and loves to see so many ponies love the milk coming out of her tits. She already warned you though. 
"Only straight from the tap!" Rose states "I find it lovely you all like my milk so much, but making this a transaction… or worst, selling it in jugs… that would be so impersonal! So brutish… Seeing small ponies massage my body for my delicious milk, is just so wonderful… I won't trade that feeling for any amount of bits! So even if a pony needs my milk to survive in a far away land, then I'll go myself to see the glimmer in his eyes as I give him a taste of heaven!"

But Rose doesn't need to travel to a far away land to find a pony very thirsty for her milk, as Coal Vein seems to immensely appreciate her creamy brew. On the last day of the week, she starts to drink from Rose's breast much more eagerly. First squeezing the tits while her snoot and hooves, and then pulling hard with her teeth to get one big gulp of milk down her throat after the other. She repeats these two movement fast, all while drawing pleasured moans from the giant alicorn mare.

Getting a few stares from the rest of you after her voracious attack on Rose's tits, Coal Vein feels compelled to utter an explanation.
"This is the stuff of legends." The grey mare comments after wiping a trail of while cream on her face. "I've never had so much energy as when I drank this, and it makes we feel like I just had a good night of sleep. Didn't find and drawback. Almost certain it isn't addictive either. This alicorn milk is what all snake oil vendors wish their tonic did, except this one's all real."

You even witnessed a few changes on Rose's tits over the week. Her nipples have grown slightly longer from the daily solicitation, and you swear each morning her supply of milk is a bit more consequent in reaction to the increaseingdemand.
With Tide Novem, the two milky orbs around Rose's crotch are already as large as a pony, but if you keep tapping more out of Rose's tits, could it be they will… grow even bigger?

Once again, you're feeling thirsty at the thought.

Also, on the second-to-last day of the week, Rose decides to go out with her princess form on, but she also manages to have Butterswirl to come along. You wear your tinfoil hat to let them a little privacy.

But in the middle of the night, you start to feel some very small shakes around you, like the steps of a giant beast far away. You also dimply hear moans in the night. Rose's moans…
Looking outside, you observe, and at first there's nothing in the near vicinity, but then… You see it far away in the desert… is that… a 100 ft mare in the distance? Bouncing up and down on a 50 mare? You have to muster all your will power to keep your tinfoil over your head…

“You can come with me today, if you want.” Coal Vein bluntly announces you one morning, also on the last day of the week. 
You asked her earlier to join her on her training sessions, but the first time it quickly ended with Coal Vein realizing she outgrew the equipment of her usual gym. Or any other available equipment for that matter… Coal Vein tried piling up a huge amount weights to still get some kind of burn, but this method was simply too unstable, and the owner of the place mustered the courage to ask her to leave when 30 kilos of cast iron almost fell on another pony’s head.

Since then, you’ve seen the dark mare gallop to the desert instead for her daily training. She told you she was searching for some alternative, and it seems like she found something that suits her.

“Then let’s go!” You answer excitedly. “With all the trouble ahead, getting in shape sounds like a good idea. Also, I need to get more resistant if I want to keep up with you girls.”
“Good. You better stay on my back while we go there, though. It’s a bit far, and we don’t have all day.”

You see no reason to object to grey mare, and ride on her back out of Klugelown, alongside two big barrels of water. She gallops for a quarter of an hour to the east of the city, following the cliffs to the see of clouds. You bounce on the powerful form of Coal Vein, holding tight on her mane as her workout has already started. She runs fast, pushing herself, and despite the wind you feel from her speed, her coat soon covers in a shiny layer of sweat. She keeps her breathing deep and steady however, and her speed remains constantly fast for the whole journey. 

As Coal Vein start to slow down, you think your destination must be close. You’re approaching a huge chasm in the cliff, where a whole part of the desert must have collapsed over the years. Before you can react, Coal Vein jumps inside the hole. Fortunately, the way to the land bellow isn’t a vertical wall unlike most of the border between the desert and the sea of clouds, and the dark mare has more than enough ledges to hop on to go down.

She jumps fast, looking like she knows where’s she’s going, and you soon arrive to some level ground again. You’re not quite yet down the cliff, but instead in some sort of middle ground carved in the rock. There’s rubble and boulders of various size almost everywhere. The whole place is bathed in a thin layer of clouds, protecting you from most of the desert’s heat.

“Here.” Coal Vein announces, taking the water off her sides. “We won’t bother anypony around here. Let’s get lifting.”
After dropping you on the ground, Coal Vein seem to forget you exist. She approaches a boulder even larger as she is, and after lying on her back, she uses her four hooves to lift the huge rock in the air. Her breathing focusses, and she start doing reps with the boulder that must weight several tons.

You try to imitate her, but you can’t really push up such a huge amount of stone, even comparatively. You eventually settle for a burden laughably small compared to the one of Coal Vein, but which still feels incredibly heavy on you back legs. And the uneven rock threatens to tilt and fall on you at every rep if you’re not careful, in addition to the rough surface soon irritating the soft part of your hooves.

“You should have taken dumbbells.” You turn your head as you suddenly hear Coal Vein. The mare watches you while holding up her giant boulder on the top of her extended hooves. “Rocks are not ideal. Especially for a beginner. What I’m doing is still very experimental. You should stick to calisthenics for now.”

For the next half hour, both of you practice various exercises to muscle your body. While you try to do the same movements in spirit, Coal Vein does her sits-ups, push-ups on her front legs or leg raises at a much greater frequency, and often while loading herself with some stone. And when you stop your reps a little too soon for her tastes, the dark mare shows you a disapproving glare, enjoining you to push you just a bit past your limits.

The last exercise of the session has the huge mare buck the cliff wall repeatedly. You take this time to do a bit of running around the crag yourself while each of her hit sends an echoing boom through the place. While she’s not surveilling you, you can’t refrain your eyes from watching the body of the powerful giantess. Her deep and slow breath, then her back legs springing impossibly fast and hitting the stone like thunder. Her hooves are fine after hitting the wall. It is the rock that is giving in. And she goes on again, every five seconds like clockwork, always with the same prodigious strength in her moves. You watch her in a mix of awe and fear-tinted respect, akin to what one may feel witnessing the might of a stormy sea or the eruption of a volcano. 

By the time she’s finished, the mark of Coal Vein hooves is deeply embedded in the stone. You’re also completely out of breath, while Coal Vein seems barely challenged by all this, despite a much harsher program. Still, she looks satisfied with herself for now as she ends the sessions with a few stretching motions, also…
“That wasn’t bad for a first time.” She tells you with a fleeting smile of approval. “If you can keep pushing yourself a little further every day, you’ll see results in no time.”

You can’t refrain a smile and a huff of relief at the encouragement. Coal Vein then offers you her back to climb on, and you both return in town even faster than you came.

Now, it’s high time you gave their gift to the ponies you didn’t get the time to welcome. Butterswirl turns out to be the hardest to find something for. More accurately, without spoiling the surprise. You can’t wear your tinfoil cap forever.

But with a bit of luck, you manage to find the perfect present for your giant blue soulmate. Her size makes it quite expensive, but you’re ready to pay the price for Butterswirl.

“Woah! Thanks a lot wizard!” She beams as you reveal the pinkish mess of sleeves. “But what is it? A cover for my new mane?”
“No Butterswirl. Not only. This is a Thneed.” You answer proudly. “A fine something that all ponies need!”

As you speak, you twist the magical garment into a scarf, a hat, and then a hoodie under the amazed look of the blue pony.
"WOAH!" She exclaims. "I didn't know things like that even existed! This is so cool!"
A big smile on her face, the mare takes the thneed from your hooves, and turns it into bandana she ties around her neck;
"Mmmh! It's so smooth to! Thank a lot Wizard!" She thanks you with a deep nuzzle against her giant cheek.

With how much time you saved for Nails, she gratefully makes the present you had in mind for Tide Novem. A small library, furnished with small bookcases and a study, made especially for the small goo pony to use. It looks like a beautiful little dollhouse.

The potion pony thanks you with deference as you present her the gift, but you're not sure how much she really likes it. The way she feels emotions and the amount of consciousness she has are… both are a bit mysterious to you. At least she finds the small books and pencils to be much convenient for her work, and you see the goo pony use them very often while she works.

For Coal Vein, you’ve settled on some bubble bath salt in the form of a big jar of creamy looking beads. However…
“I’m too big for the bathtub.” She tells you as her only reaction.

Unfortunately, it is true. You couldn’t find a bathtub to contain some 10-feet-plus mares, and right now you employees wash themselves with a something that looks like a hose in the wall of the bathroom.
An actual bathing area for your mares would be a real challenge to achieve. And let’s not even talk about having hot water for it…

Nonetheless, Cola Vein keeps the colorful beads you gifted her. Maybe she likes it after all… or maybe she doesn’t want to be rude.

Still, despite all these merry moments, the meeting with Maafah is taking more and more of your mind. One day, you all gather in the common room, and start to discuss what you can do.
Earlier, you had your two assistants examine the knife left in the zebra's room. They tell you the blade, despite having the visual cues or a sacrificial weapon, is not magical in itself. The wrapping you found it into, whoever, was.
"This is complex magic already." Sulfury explains. "There's a spell on that wrapping created to block other scrying spells. No magic would help you see that package or what was inside with this ward. I have no idea why or who did somepony place such a spell on that thing, though."

With that in mind, you started discussing strategy with the rest of your mares.
"There's definitely something going on with the Widow there." You start. "I don't know exactly what… but I must go see by myself."
"You're really gonna go alone?" Rose asks with a worried face.

"I want the opinion on our magic users first…" Coal Vein says. "But is all of us going and wrecking this cult's ceremony an option? We have more than enough hoofpower to tear through a bunch of miniature and enthralled cultists, and stop their ritual altogether in my opinion."

"I am against this." Swamp Lily shakes her head. "Have you not see the state of Maafah's room? The Widow's grasp on this word is currently much stronger than I anticipated. Even while she's not physically present, her power will be immense during the night of this ceremony. I'm not saying you have no chance of subsiding her cult by force, but should you fail… And there's definitely a chance you will, death is a likely outcome."

"As always, I do not mean to force your hoof into anything, Wizard." She turns to you "But I'd hate to see you or anypony else in this room perish or spend the rest of their life under the curse of a trickster goddess. So by all means, if you wish to go… then go alone, Wizard. Maybe have some of us ready to attempt a quick rescue if things start to look awful, but I beg not to try and subdue Maahfah by force while the Widow is upon her. Only woe and curses await you down that path." Swamp Lily concludes.

"Alright." You nod. "I'll keep that in mind. Maybe there could be a way to bring her back to reason, though. Maybe if I bring Paka along, that'll help her remember she doesn't have to be all evil."
"That's a good plant. "Canopy Veil comments.
"Even though… we still know very little about what's gonna happen there in the desert." You say. "My guess… is that Maafah's gonna give birth to the Widow somehow. What that implies for me or everyone else… I have no idea. Neither do I know what opportunity I will have to act and change the course of things. Obviously there's this knife… but I cannot say about the rest, or if I'll find the right time to use it."

"Ow, this whole ordeal is scaring me to the guts, stud!" Rose whines. "I hope you'll make it out alright… Are you absolutely sure you want to go in this deathtrap?"
"Hmm." You nod. "I have unfinished business with Maafah."
"Then… I wish you'll be alright, Wizard." Canopy says, but looks worried to death.
"Don't worry everypony!" Butterswirl says. "If things go south, I'll fly to the rescue! We're gonna take care of Maafah and that Widow spirit or whatever and squish it like the stupid spider she is!"

She's putting on a brave face, but Butterswirl is actually even more scared than you are.

And finally, the fateful day arrives.

This week : 3482 bits. - 27 (expanses) - 30(beauty products )- 450 (potion mk9) - 100(potion mk2)-150(potion mk3) – 500 (Best Defence) – 60 (Suflury’s wage) + 527(income from Velvet Pillow) + 588 (income from Coal Vein)+ 395(income from Canopy Veil) + 80 (Nails) – 50 (Rose's wage) – 79 (Canopy's's wage)- 50(Butterswirl's wage) -78(Velvet's wage) – 84(Coal's wage) – 50 (bath salts) – 300 (queen-sized thneed) =  3064 bits.

Canopy Veil worked 3 days for oasis this week, Butterswirl one.

This week, you made an mk2, m3 and mk9 potions. This is what Nails' workers wished for, but you haven't talked about a price with them or Nails for now. You're also thinking about taking these with you when you go meet Maafah. Both options are open right now.

You visited Best Defence early this week, a purchased the las offer of her package. She had no idea about how to deal with your invisibility, though.

Over the week, Swamp Lily cured you and Velvet Pillow from Butterswirl's spell. All it took was a touch of her Lilly stem every morning, and you both slowly turned back to normal over the week.

With the help of Butterswirl and a good serving of milk, the new floor of your estate has been finished. Your mares will be able to stand comfortably under the 24-foot ceiling, but for how long? All your mares have already displaced their room to the new floor.

As expected, Swamp Lily finished her research about Natural Growth. The mares drinking your next potions may keep growing a couple inches every week. Next week, Swamp Lily will be in the wetlands with Canopy Veil one last week so the chocolate mate may learn about using her inner eye.
Sulfury started working on Critical Focus. She still has 2 weeks to complete that research.
Tide Novem studied this week. More research options have been added to her list.

Researches available for Tide Novem:
>Bottom-up brewing : 3 weeks to research.
Instead of a regular potion, you may create a new type of brew by adding up any number of effects among those you've already discovered. Each effect added to the potion costs 50 bits. Crits and fumbles do not apply. The 6 inches of growth automatically added with each tier of potion counts as an effect. You can only add effects within the limit of how many you're discovered on a regular potion. (If you only have 3 increases of butt size in your regular potion, you cannot incorporate more than 3 increases of butt size in a bottom-up potion). A bottom-up potion will only override the particular effects of a regular potion if the bottom-up effects are stronger. A regular potion will override all bottom-up effects. 
>Effect reassignment : 2 weeks to research.
Whenever you brew a potion, you may permanently inhibit up to two effects of your choice to roll that many new ones.
>Critical purity : 2 weeks to research.
When a crit is rolled on a potion, all following fumbles on the same potion are rerolled. When a fumble is rolled, all following crits on the same potion are rerolled. Crits and fumbles make a potion glow respectively with a green or red aura.
>Power Creep : 1 week to research
Instead of automatically adding 6 inches for each tier on potion, a number of inches equal to the tier of the potion will be added instead.
>Chaos Theory : 3 weeks to research
Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble on one of your potions, add another random critical of fumble (respectively) among those you've already discovered.
>Critical Rerouting : 2 weeks to research
Tide Novem could discover this after the critical you found las week. Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble with this upgrade, it gets cancelled, but you get 5 basic effects to assign into whatever type of effect you want among those you have discovered already. (except the number of dice)

>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Tide Novem to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

The impending danger makes you wish you had bonded a little more with your mares beyond sexual interaction. You wanted to do that this week, but couldn't think of any specific way to. Nor was you mind in the mood for jokes. You've already offered gifts and trained with Coal Vein, so maybe it's not so bad after all.

Now, the meeting with the desert ponies which will bring you to Maafah is upon you. There's only a few hours left to prepare. Your estate is oddly silent as there's a bit of tension in the air. You try to see what will you be able to do once you meet Maafah.

About yourself, you mostly focus on growth magic in the form of your potions, but studying magic has granted you some above than average telekinesis and a magic beam to attack your enemies. You also know how to generate a force field with can endure regular magical and physical blows, but neither the strength of a giantess nor the wrath of a goddess. You're also good at teleporting, and you can instantly blink anywhere in your field of vision.

Beyond your growth potions, you only know how to make some basic healing potion, but you're also experienced enough you could make other types of potion with the adequate recipe.

>What do?

[spoiler]See you tomorrow for our weekly session.[/spoiler]

Only now, you remember you have a changeling which might help you attend both Maafah's and Goldfeather's meetings. If Butterswirl can accompany Velvet Pillow, this might actually work. Goldfeather doesn't know about the changeling in your team you think, nor does he know the exact nature of your power. You hope…

Anyway, you're gonna try to pass the 10-foot-plus genderbent you as some temporary magic accident. There's definitely a chance this might go wrong, but that way you may have a chance to prevent the mayor from getting angry at you for declining his invitation. If anything, you're confident your mares will be big enough to defend themselves in case of trouble. That's one advantage of this plan at least.

You explain your idea to Velvet Pillow and Butterswirl, and they both accept. You also participate in group hug between them, getting smothered between Velvet's face and Butterswirl's soft belly.

Now, for the meeting with Maafah, you'll be taking the two weaker potions you made this week, as well as some food as an offering, and the sacrificial knife coated in its original wrapping and hidden under your hat.

Before that, you decide to visit Maafah's room one last time. And to your horror le place has changed even further since last time.

Light only barely come though the window now, and the corners of the room are plunged into complete darkness, where you see the hint of many skittering little spiders. Yet all the crawling forms seem to disappear when you focus your eyes on them.

A dim light englobes the whole bed, as though it was the bed itself which produced this light. Also, somepony, or something made the bed, and now the whole thing is covered by a lush-red sheet. The color still immediately reminds you of fresh blood, but there's also an undeniable sensuality to the scarlet covers.

Still, you make your way inside and close the door behind you. The place is eerily silent, and you hear nothing from the outside. Suddenly, you're taken with the urge to make sure the door is still there, but it doesn't seem like your escape route is gonna magically disappear.
This time…

"Can I trust Maafah?" You ask out loud, but the room remains silent in response.
"Do you trust Maafah?" You ask again, yet still no answer. 

But then, your body seems to freeze for a second, and you feel the smell of blood as the breath of a giantess blows over your back and neck.
"She will serve…" you hear from an otherworldly voice.

By the time you turn your head, everything has become silent again, and you're alone in the red room.

>What do?

"That's so creepy." You call out in the empty room "Why can't you ever manifest in front of me when we talk?"
However, nothing answers you this time.

"What am I to you?" You try again "Maafah said I was a gift of yours or something."
At that moment, you feel the presence of the trickster goddess in the room again for an instant.

"Tonight. Your reward will come." You hear, but there's only the echo of a cruel laughter when you turn around a try to locate the origin of the ethereal voice.

You've had enough, you think. The Widow won't have a proper conversation with you it seems. You exit the haunted room for now.
Maafah will serve indeed, you think to yourself, but who she will serve is the right question here.

You try to think of something else you could do to prepare yourself for the next encounter…

>What do?

You make sure to practice your spells some more, making sure you're not too rusty. You can still teleport yourself almost instantly, you can lift over 400 kilos with telekinesis, your magic beams are precise enough to hit bull's eye from 20 meter away, and your force field is strong enough to withstand the weight of Butterswirl's ass for a few seconds! As long as she descends very slowly…

To recuperate from this training session, you get a drink from Rose's bountiful udders, and you even ask her if you can exceptionally take a bottle of it with you, even if she said she wouldn't accept that.
"Oww… Fine, stud." She accepts with a wince. "I'm too worried to refuse you that right now. If you think there's a chance this can help you… go ahead and take as much as you need."
You thank her as you fill a flask with her milk.

A wild though crosses your mind, and you decide to drink some of Rose's milk in Maafah's room, but nothing happen as you do that. The Widow remains silent during this intrusion too, and Rose is only put ill-at-ease by the haunted bedroom, and is very happy when she gets to leave it.

For the rest of the day, you meditate to clear your mind, with Paka sleeping on your lap. You'll be taking the kitten with you tonight.

Eventually, the sun starts to descend int the sky. You only have a few minutes before the time when the desert cultist wanted to meet you. Are you ready to answer Maafah's invitation? 

>What do?

With you, you take some food and drinks, a flask of Rose's milk, a black kitten named Paka, your mk2 and mk3 potions, your tinfoil hat, your regular hat under which is hidden a sacrificial knife wrapped in anti-scrying fabric. 

Are you ready with all that? Probably not… But you decided to go anyway. You mares gather around you as you prepare to leave the estate.

"You two know what you have to do." You tell Butterswirl and Velvet Pillow. "Good luck with Goldfeather. He's not quite like the Widow, but I'm afraid he can be nasty in his own way."
"We'll do our best!" They both nod. 
"Gotta make sure you don't have more trouble when you come back of this spooky ceremony!" Butterswirl adds.

"Coal Vein." You turn to the grey mare. "I want you to protect Rose. She doesn't want to fight, so if something happens here, you'll need to step up."
"Don't worry." She answers. "This place is my home now. I'll stomp anypony who comes to stir up trouble. You can count on that."

"Tide Novem, I want you to watch over the lab while I'm away. Can you do that?"
"As you wish, Master." The potion-pony nods.

"Canopy…" You turn to the chocolate mare "I swear I'll come back so I finally can make you bigger."
"If that promise can help you make it out alright…" She gives you a worried smile. "I promise I'll be as huge as you want me to be, Wizard!"

You have one last group hug to wish you luck, where you make sure all and each of your mares can feel how much they mean to you, but then you have to go.

You meet the group of a dozen desert cultists at the edge of Klugetwon as expected, and they all cheer and smile at your arrival.

"We are so glad you came, Growth Wizard!" The only regular-sized mare of their group greets you with a bow. "Come now! We still have a long way to go to the feast!"

And on these words, your group starts to move. Three stallions are pulling a cart with some more food and spirits. The mood of the desert cultists is eerily blissful, and they all chat happily, mostly about how much they look forward to tonight's celebration.

They also very quickly start to flirt with each other, and the cultist ponies start to nuzzle and kiss each other liberally, with no distinction between potential couples or gender. Some of the smaller ponies even start to have sex with each other, either on the body of a larger pony, or in the food cart. You remain silent during all that.
 
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, Growth Wizard." The mare tells you at some point. "As a guest of honor, you made consider all of us your servants! We'll do anything we can to satisfy all your requests!"

>What do?

"Thank you…" You force a smile "Can you tell me about what's gonna happen tonight? I didn't get all the details from what Velvet told me."

The desert mare smiles too in response.
"Tonight is a very special night! Maafah predicted the sun and the moon will align so our goddess will walk the land again! Thanks to our offerings, she will have the power to reward us all, and we will forever live in bliss and happiness! You must be so happy, Growth Wizard, your role in the birth of our goddess was much more important than anypony else… You and Maafah will surely gain the favout of the goddess for all eternity!"

You travel for hours, but the desert ponies always have water to share when you're thirsty, sometimes even before you ask. You're a little tempted to see what would happen if you asked for something impossible at the moment, like scrambled eggs, but you eventually decide not to humor these already deranged souls.

Instead, your mind is troubled by the little ones pleasuring each other. Even if they're small, the sight of two one-foot tall mare kissing each other while a 6-inch stallion is sandwitched between their bodies makes the red comes to your cheeks.
Stupid cultists… just like Maafah, they're trying to trick you with sex, aren't they? Well it won't work this time! Probably…

The sun has disappeared behind the horizon when you reach your destination. You're about two and a half hours away from Klugetown when you notice lights on one of the mountainous rocky formations of the desert. The desert ponies have established themselves in a ravine carved in the desert mountains. There's many habitations built on the walls, and then the cavern takes turns soon, blocking your view, so you're not exactly sure how many ponies live in here. What you currently see could house about thirty ponies, so the full population of this place could be over a hundred you reckon… 

For the occasion, red carpets and banners have been put all around the place. Upon your arrival, another dozen ponies welcome your group cheerfully, the ponies not hesitating to passionately kiss their companions who came back from Klugetown.

The full moon still shines white atop your head, and its light hits the bottom of the ravine. You think it will turn red in about an hour from now.
Your hosts seem to have forgotten about you right now though, too occupied by… greeting their friends back home.

>What do?

Since nopony's paying attention to you, you check how Velvet and Butterswirl are doing. The grunts guarding Goldfeather's place let the two mares enter. They were a little suspicious, since the two ponies didn't quite fit the description of the pony they expected, but the possibility of angering both their boss and some 20-feer tall dragon mare made then decide to let them in.

Your mares are currently waiting alone in a richly decorated lobby, Goldfeather having yet to arrive. You instruct Velvet to moderately use her power to subtly soothe Goldfeather if she has the occasion, and then you send Butterswirl kind words of love and encouragement through the link between you. 

"So… when you say Goddess, you're talking about the Widow, right?" You ask your guides once they're done smooching each other.
"Yes." The desert mare answers. "Maafah refers to the Goddess that way. But she is the only Goddess to us, so we call it that with Maafah's accord. Since her blessing fell on us, we've been liberated from our earthly sadness, and can freely bask in bliss and pleasure."

"You have?" You cock an eyebrow.
"Yes!" The desert mare grins. "All the woes and pains in our head have been taken away, and instead we're filled with the will to serve the Goddess. Every time she's pleased, we all feel it in our heart and bodies! Nothing brings more join to us that to gift everything we can to the Goddess!"

This seems like an… edulcorated version of the Widow's attributes. But it does seem like she took over the mind of these ponies through pleasure, and they all seem devoted to pleasing her. You doubt you'll find allies among them in you want to go against this goddess unfortunately, even if the Widow will probably take absolutely everything from these ponies in the end.

"But you must be dying to meet Maafah again!" The desert mare says at this point. "I think it's time we brought back the two of you together!"

You follow the desert mare through the ravine, while all the ponies around are engaged in various hedonistic activities. The incense burning a little everywhere, and the red curtains and carpets are making the mood rather unsettling though. The red fabric undulates and shifts despite the absence of wind, almost like it had a will of its own. You can't shake the feeling this is all part of a big evil blood ritual, which might now be far from the truth.

After a few turns, you arrive in a large room where about fifty ponies a feasting and having sex at the same time. The moonlight bathes the whole place, and in the center, Maafah awaits you.

Red tendrils are weaved into a giant vertical spiderweb which occupies the whole room that is about 50 feet in diameter. The zebra is hanging at the middle, showing a confident smile as she sees you. Her body would still about 8 feet tall for most of it, but since last time you saw her, Maafah's belly has swelled monstrously, way larger than the mare itself. The round sphere must be about 20 feet across, looming ominously a dozen feet over the feasting cultists. It is dormant for now, but there's definitely something powerful inside that giant belly…

You thought the spiderweb was made of fabric at first, but then you understood it was something else. The tattoos on Maafah's body when you fucked her are still there, and now occupy a good chuck of her body. Not only have the bright red marks grown in size, but they also now crawl over the zebra's flesh like snakes, concentrating around her impossibly pregnant belly. Sometimes, you even see the red tendrils rise a little over Maafah's flesh, and materializing physically as bloody tentacles, just like what's holding the zebra into the air right now.

"What a pleasant time for you to arrive, Growth Wizard." Maafah solemnly greet you. "I am so happy that after our last encounter, you still accepted to come. Worry not. Tonight, you shall reap the fruit of your devotion to the Widow. Tonight, you shall witness the birth of a goddess! I hope you came prepared…"

>What do?

"As best a I could be." You answer defiantly.

The zebra smirks.
"Let's have you come over here, Wizard." She says, and then the tendrils on Maafah's body start to animate and swiftly coil around your body and hooves.
You're lifted into the air, and released on the zebra's chest, right above her gigantic belly. Immediately Maafah kisses you, forcing her tongue inside your mouth while keeping you safe within her hooves. Despite all that happen, her taste is still the same.

She watches you fondly after releasing your mouth with a sonorous smack. The ponies below cheering at the voluptuous kiss from the zebra.
"There's still a few minutes before the main event occurs." She tells you and this point. "Why don't we catch up while we wait? How's everypony back in Klugetown?" Maafah asks

"I have a few questions first…" You respond. "What is the goal of this ritual exactly? And what am I expected to do?"
Maafah chuckles.
"It's true. I haven't explained everything yet. Well, as you probably have guessed at this point, tonight, when the blood moon shines, I will give birth to the Widow. From the power you and all these ponies her relinquished to her, she will materialize in this world and be free to do as she pleases."

"Ever since you completed the first part of the ritual with me." The zebra explains. "The Widow was able to use me as a beacon for her power, and she can perceive the world through me. Even now, she hears every word we say, and can feel our every movement. Only her trusted followers are allowed here... The Widow's grasp on reality is already powerful enough to tear apart any pony who would try to stop her at this point." The zebra shows you a sheepish smile. "But we're all her devoted servants here, aren't we?"

"And tonight, I will have the greatest honors of all. The power inside me is still dormant right now. It is waiting for the will of the Widow to descent onto this material realm. During the night of the blood moon, this is possible. This will be the climax of this ceremony, and I will be at the heart of it! For only a moment, I and the Widow will share my flesh, as I will serve as a conduct between this world and the realm of spirits."

Maafah leans closer to you at this point, as though the next sentences were especially important.
"Can you imagine, Wizard? The Widow will be dependent on my very life while she materializes. For only an instant, my existence will be bound to the one of the Widow, and I can't think of any greater honor!" 

The zebra leans back after this.
"As for your role, you are not here to give, Wizard, but to receive. You may not have been willing to give away your power to the Widow at the time, but I want you to experience the same bliss all the other ponies here feel after scarifying themselves to the Widow."

"But… What will happen next? After the ritual?" You ask next. "Am I supposed to spend the night here?"
"After the ritual, the Widow will be free." Maafah answers. "What she decides to do then is none of our concerns, and above our own desires. As for how you'll be spending the night… you shouldn't trouble yourself with such trifling earthly matters."

>What do?

"Alright, I understand." You show her a tense smile. "Also, I though there was somebody you'd like to see.
You open your bag, and reveal the small cat inside.

"Aww, Wizard!" Maafah takes the small cat in her hooves, and start to pet him. Paka looks a bit confused, but also happy to reunite with the pony who took care of him in the past. "What a nice surprise! I didn't thing I'd ever see this adorable furball again!" 
"Thank s a lot, Wizard…" She tells you, grateful.

"We're taking good care of Paka in Klugetown, don't worry." You say. "And about home… we're doing alright I guess. We have a couple new mares since you left, but Thread Lightly left us too..."
"It felt like my heart was sliced in half by grief. Since she made we this hat… it feels heavier on my head now, as though it was filled with what Thread Lightly left behind."

"You really liked her didn’t you?" Maafah answers "She stole a piece of your heart, but maybe it's a good thing she left you some room to breathe. This mare was always clinging on your neck." The zebra softly runs her hoof across her own neck as she says this.

So that's what she expects you to do… well, this isn't making you any less nervous…
"Forgive my questions, Maafah." You start. "Ultimately, I'm here because I care about what we've set into motion, and because I care about you... Are you sure you're going to be all right through all this? And you really don't have a plan for what happens after, do you? What will I do? What will you do?"
"Oh, I wouldn't exactly call it a plan, but trust me. There will be a something after tonight." The zebra answers, eagerness in her eyes. "Both for me and you. Maybe our path will be a little different after this night, but I'm confident the Widow will use her power to grant us rewards beyond everything we can imagine!"

"Also, 'Sacrificing themselves?'" You wince. "You meant... sacrificing their height, when you said that earlier. Right?"
"Look at them, Wizard." The zebra nods int eh direction of the enthralled desert ponies. "They live only for the Widow now. This is what I call scarifying themselves. Should the Widow or I ask any of them to give me all their height, their very existence, they'd gladly do it. Having such lovely worshipers is simply more entertaining for the Widow that a bit extra size at the moment."

"And how do you know what to do, here?" You ask worriedly. "Has this ritual ever happened before? Successfully? Is it written down somewhere? Or is everything stuff you've come up with?" 
"All was revealed to me when I first contacted the Widow in person." Maafah answers. "Do you remember that night? I had to come up with a pathetic excuse when you saw me right after... The Widow had reaveled everything to me just before. This ritual. The one you undergone with me back in Klugetown. And the fact she wanted me to serve as her gateway to this world. I was troubled at first, as this was not how I conceived my fate. But over the days I realized this was the best thing that could happen to me."

"And… will the Widow be here with us mortals 'for keeps' from now on?" You finally ask.
"Spirits have walked the land in the past, and some still do." The zebra says. "Some are worshiped as gods, while other blend in the world of mortals. I do not know what the Widow will do, but the balance of this world would be altered as much as you think, if I get the meaning of your question. Or, maybe not in the ways you expect…"

At this point, the cultists have started to quiet down, and most of them have started staring at the moon in awe. Already, the shadow of this world is gnawing on the white disk above.
"The event of the blood moon is upon up, Growth Wizard." Maafah announces. "I hope you are ready... to witness the birth of a new Goddess."

>What do?

Show's about to start.

While you put Paka safely back in your bag, you take a mental peek on what's happening on Butterswirl's side.
They're currently talking with the mayor, who arrived a little earlier with a group of a dozen nasty-looking unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies. These grunts are simply watching them from every corner of the room while they share some punch with Goldfeather and discuss. Butterswirl doesn't feel like telling you everything right now since the situation is also complicated on your side, but the mayor has some… demands he'd like you to meet.

"So this bright, new, Widow's future… No way out of it, huh, after tonight?" You ask Maafah "I suppose the chances of avoiding what's coming are long past, fancy ritual or not, right?"
"Indeed…" Maafah gives you and angry frown. "The time for hesitation is long overdue!"
"May as well get comfortable then. Alright. Where do I sit? Or stand?"
"Clamp yourself on my neck." She answers, drawing her hoof across her neck again. "That's probably the place you'll get the best grip on."

And as the moon gets progressively covered in shadows, Maafah start to shift uncomfortably, and she lets out more and more painful grunts as the red marks on her slither faster and faster. She's sweating, and keeps her eyes tightly shut.

Eventually, the veil of Earth's shadow covers the moon entirely, giving it a slightly red tone. 
And there it starts.

Suddenly, the dim hue of the moon transforms in a blood red shining light, as powerful as the sun. The rest of the sky becomes pitch black, and the whole world now appear only in shades of red at this instant. Maafah shines as bright as the moon itself.
The zebra howls in extreme pain, her whole body thrashing as what's inside her starts to awaken under the cheers of the cultists. Her humongous belly rumbles, and you see the gigantic imprint of a hoof pushing from inside Maafah uterus, seeking to get out of its prison.

The Widow comes.

You're holding Maafah's neck right now. Your link with Butterswirl have been cut, as though you were wearing your tinfoil hat.

>What do?

You're no gynecologist, but a uterus is not supposed to act like this you reckon. Now is probably the time you need to act!

While everypony's concentrated on Maafah and what's inside her, you brandish the knife from under your hat, and swiftly plunge it deep in the zebra's neck, then slice her throat wide open.

The cheers of the cultists bellow transform in screams of terror at the sight of the jet of blood coming out of Maafah's neck. Her body convulses, and her eyes rolls back in their orbit as a bloody gurgle escapes her mouth.

The red tendrils seize you violently, constricting your limbs and throat so hard you feel like you're gonna break, but then the grip gradually softens, as all the red tendrils seem to gradually lose their strength. You see their color shift from bright red to a darker hue, akin to dried blood.
Able to concentrate a little on the rest of the scene, you witness the rest of the tendrils aggregate around the deadly wound you inflicted on Maafah. There's also the nightmarish view of a shapeless mass of the same tentacles crawling out of Maafah's nethers, joining the other as they… penetrate the wound, the veins around the lifeless zebra's head bloating and darkening from the eldritch intrusion.

At this point, the tentacles holding you crumble to dust, and you fall down for way longer that you should have. You tumble in a black void, the image of Maafah's form and the screams of cultist disappearing into nothingness.

You land on a soft red ground, without any injury. The blood-red moon still shines bright atop you, but aside from that and the ground immediatly around, you're inside a silent black void.
You look around in a daze for a moment, but fail to seeing anything in the creeping darkness.

But then, you hear a gigantic form shift in the darkness, followed by a familiar delighted laughter.

"Outstanding, Growth Wizard" You hear Maafah's voice… but not quite. It is much deeper, and echoes more sinisterly than the zebra's usual tone. And then you see it.

A towering shadow emerges from the darkness. Red light outlining her silhouette, a gigantic Maafah looms above you at around 300 feet in height. You're right between her titanic rear legs which are several times as thick as you are tall. She looks down on you, her smile filled with sharp red teeth. You do not see her any eyes, but Maafah's stripes are visible on her shadowy body, shining like ruby on her otherwise ebon body. You also see four more spider-like legs sprouting from her back.

"I used you" The voice continues. "I tricked you, I betrayed you, I called you to my side in what should have been my demise… And yet you still made me a Goddess. Truly, You were my real blessing in this world, Growth Wizard."

>What do?

You try to contact Butterswirl, but you're alone in this place. You're alone with the evil that looms above you.

"Wh-who are you?" You ask shakily. "M-Maafah? What happened?"

"A wining wager on my past life, Wizard." The towering pony slowly answers. "That's what happened. You cannot kill a Goddess, but if my mortal body had died after you struck her, the power of the Widow would have been greatly weakened. I would have recovered eventually, but for several hundred years, I would have been unable to interact with the mortal realm at all."

"So at this point, the Widow needed Maafah alive. But how? I am no goddess of healing, and this earthly body was beyond saving at that point. So my only option lied in fact that… you cannot kill a Goddess. Instead of centuries of silence, the Widow chose to merge with a mortal. This is not what the Widow had planned, but thanks to the clues Maafah left behind before leaving your side… and mostly thanks to you, Growth Wizard, it happened."

"We are one and the same, Wizard." The shadow giantess states in triumph. "I am Maafah, and I and the Widow. And I shall walk in the mortal realm for the eons to come!"

>What do?

"That's better that if I didn't use the knife I suppose." You sulk. "But I still feel guilty. I'm aware that a part of Maafah lives on with you, but who she was before all this is gone now…"
"I have all of Maafah's memories Wizard." The Pony-goddess says. "And the feelings I have for you are the same as hers. You're a very precious pony to me, Wizard. I understand it's hard for you to accept all this, but I have hope you will soon be able to appreciate the love I have for you. I'm not Maafah anymore, I am infinitely more now. I'll be patient with you, but I'm confident you'll soon come to appreciate being the favorite of a Goddess."

"But why did you… Why did Maafah decide to leave me after I impregnated her though?" You ask "Was it a complete necessity? Was that part of her plan or influence of the Widow?
"The Widow denied her, Wizard." The giantess answers. "Originally, Maafah thought she was going to be awarded power from the Widow by following in her steps. But when she contacted her, the Widow voiced her desire to have Maafah as a servant rather than a herald. She didn't know at the time, but you had a little part in this, Wizard. You made her devotion impure by softening Maafah's heart. But that is all past now, and that softness was carried over into me, and I accept it as a boon and not a flaw. Anyway, being worshipped as a mere tool wasn't enough for the zebra. She was still longing for greatness, and that's why she planned for all of this to happen." 

You have no idea what to say at this point.
This all ordeal only made you confused, and in the end you feel miserable. You feel like you failed something somewhere, but you have no idea about what you could have do better. Your head spins with grief, and you just want this horrible night to end.

"So… can I go home now?" You ask, feverish. "I've still got a business to run. My work here looks complete, is it not?"
"But you Are home, Wizard." The goddess-pony giggles. "And so am I. I will guide my desert worshipers back to the lands of the zebra for now, but this room, and you, shall always have a special place in my heart. As my sanctuary, and as my dearest follower. If you ever need the help of a Goddess, you'll know where to find me. Unlike the previous Widow, I will answer whenever you call me."

And then, the gigantic pony steps back and disappears in the darkness. A wall materializes in front of your eyes, and you then realize you're standing on Maafah's bed in her room. The pale light of the moon is slightly visible out of the window, and all her furniture is here.
You rush to the door, and find yourself back in your estate. To your surprise, you're back to your original height of 4 feet and 6 inches. Your connection with Butterswirl also immediately comes back to life, and you can feel her rushing from the commons to where you stand, glad to feel you alive and well.

Although, the little earthquake you hear would have warned you about her arrival without the link.

>What do?

A giant hug from the blue pony is all you need to feel safer again. You wish you could grow her as large as you saw Maafah for better cuddles, but sadly a meme memory of that won't do. You're afraid all your other employees may leave you at this point, but not Butterswirl. She could be warped to Yakyakistan and still come back to you within the hour, you're sure of it!

But still, after this happy reunion, you have a lot to discuss. Gathering everypony in the common room, you start to debrief what happened tonight, starting with Velvet Pillow and Butterswirl.

"That Goldfeather guy." Velvet Pillow tells you what happened with the mayor "He talked very smoothly, but anypony could have told he did not like us very much. It was very strange. he kept doing small talk for some time, as though this was just a mundane meeting. He even thanked us for bringing more activity in Klugetown."

"But then he told us what he really wanted from you." Butterswirl continues. "He put the forms to it, but basically, he wants a way to control larger mares from you. He rambled about law and order in Klugetown…" Canopy Veil huffs disdainfully. "… and told us that if some 20-foot mare started causing trouble, it would cost him a lot to stop her. So he demands you provide him with a way to either control, shrink, or neutralize a giant that him or his ponies could use themselves."

"Even after we told him no big mare has ever caused any trouble." Velvet Pillow says "He didn't want to hear anything about it. He wants you to answer his demand, or else… you and all of all will be banned from making business and staying in Klugetown. He won't accept no for an answer, and the result will be the same if you answer it's impossible. The security of Klugetown first, he said."

You grumble. You could really have used some good news right now. But you're gonna have to wait a little more for that it seems.

"He said you have only one week to tell him what you're gonna do." Butterswirl adds. "Not to provide the solution right away, but convince him you have a solution in mind to control big mares. Then, you will have four weeks to give Goldfeather what you promise…"

You let out a tired sigh. The mafia dude probably could not have chosen a worst moment to come up with this.
"And what about you, Wizard?" Rose asks. "How did it go with Maafah? And how did you get back here so suddenly?"

You let out another tired sigh, and proceed to tell your mares the whole story. The cultists, Maafah's plan, the birth of the Widow, you assassinating the zebra, and then her merging with the Widow. And finally, that your estate is now pretty much haunted by the most active evil goddess in this age.
A heavy silence falls as you finish telling the story.

"Where is Paka?" Coal Vein speaks first.
Surprised, it takes you a second to free the kitten from your bag, and Coal Vein shows a relieved smile in reaction.

"So… what are we going to do about… Maafah becoming a goddess?" Butterswirl then asks.
"I have no idea." You shake your head in dismay. "And I guess… her room is even more unmovable than before, now."

"Ahem… is it?" Nails asks awkwardly. "I mean, you had a reasonable conversation with her, so maybe you can convince her… well, not to leave, but change room. I mean, if you're feeling up for it."
"I don't know, this is all so strange…" You sigh wearily. "Too much happened, so I need to think this through. Right now, I'm just too tired… I just want this week to end so I can go to sleep..."

In reaction, Butterswirl takes you with her hooves the hold you tight against her. Soon, Rose comes to embrace the blue mare, so she can be close to you too, and so does Canopy Veil, then Velvet Pillow, Nails and Coal Vein. Extenuated, you fall asleep right in the hooves of your wonderful giant mares.

That's it for this week.
As always, discussion, feedback and commands are always appreciated.

You still have one mk2, mk3, and mk9 potion.

This week, Sulfury will continue working on Critical Focus.
Swamp Lily will go in the wetlands with Canopy Veil for one last week.

>Bottom-up brewing : 3 weeks to research.
Instead of a regular potion, you may create a new type of brew by adding up any number of effects among those you've already discovered. Each effect added to the potion costs 50 bits. Crits and fumbles do not apply. The 6 inches of growth automatically added with each tier of potion counts as an effect. You can only add effects within the limit of how many you're discovered on a regular potion. (If you only have 3 increases of butt size in your regular potion, you cannot incorporate more than 3 increases of butt size in a bottom-up potion). A bottom-up potion will only override the particular effects of a regular potion if the bottom-up effects are stronger. A regular potion will override all bottom-up effects. 
>Effect reassignment : 2 weeks to research.
Whenever you brew a potion, you may permanently inhibit up to two effects of your choice to roll that many new ones.
>Critical purity : 2 weeks to research.
When a crit is rolled on a potion, all following fumbles on the same potion are rerolled. When a fumble is rolled, all following crits on the same potion are rerolled. Crits and fumbles make a potion glow respectively with a green or red aura.

Instead of automatically adding 6 inches for each tier on potion, a number of inches equal to the tier of the potion will be added instead.
>Chaos Theory : 3 weeks to research
Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble on one of your potions, add another random critical of fumble (respectively) among those you've already discovered.
>Critical Rerouting : 2 weeks to research
Tide Novem could discover this after the critical you found las week. Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble with this upgrade, it gets cancelled, but you get 5 basic effects to assign into whatever type of effect you want among those you have discovered already. (except the number of dice)

>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Tide Novem to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

You have 3064 bits available.

You may create up to 3 potions up to mk 11 for the cost of 550 bits.

You have the following upgrades available for your potions: 
>Exploding Cirts: 
Whenever you get a crit or a fumble on one of your potions, you will roll as many more random effects than the potion originally rolled. Crits and fumbles rolled that way are dismissed.

Offers currently on the table:
For 3000 bits: you may buy an aircraft to send workers search for ingredients for 200 bits weekly. Having the merchant who currently sells you the ingredients give the orders guarantees you up to 1000 bits of free ingredients each week.
For 1000 bits: Nails will remove the first floor in your estate in all rooms in 1 week.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.

Offers-you-can't-refuse currently on the table:
Mayor Goldfeather demands you provide him with a way to neutralize a big mare anypony could use. You have 1 week to provide him with plans and 4 more weeks to provide the actual solution. You will be banned from Klugetown if you refuse.





Klugetown is a bit less beautiful to your eyes this week. Not because of Goldfeather’s threat on your neck, but… yeah, most of the mares around you are disappointedly small again. You had acclimated really well to being 2 and a half foot tall, and it’s getting back to normal which makes you feel a bit awkward.
At least, getting back your old size will make for a believable explanation to the mayor for why you showed-up as a giant mare on the previous meeting.

In search of answers and ideas to keep your business running, you decide to ask all the available mares to find solutions. You have Sulfury and Tode Novem halt their current researches to brainstorm plans to show the mayor. You also have Butterswirl travel to Somnambula to see if they know a way to deal with big mares. And also… you return to Maafah’s room. Maybe the goddess can help you somehow.

As you penetrate the haunted chamber, you feel your link with Butterswril being cut off again. Timidly, you call the name of Maafah as you stand on the bed. Once more darkness swallows the world around you, and the red outline of her body rises from the darkness. Her titanic figure is lying on her belly in front of you, and she shows you a pleasant smile from above. She’s just as gigantic as last time, probably 300 feet tall when standing. Your body could fit in one of her nostrils.

“Hello, Wizard.” She coos to greet you, her deep voice reverberating in your whole body. “So you came back. I’m glad you don’t see me as your enemy… but I guess like you didn’t come here simply for courtesy, am I correct?”

“Well, yes.” You admit. “There’s several things I need to talk to you about. Also, there’s trouble ahead for us, eh… mortals in Klugetown. So I wanted to ask if you could help.”
“Mmh…” Maafah tilts her head and pouts absently. “Speak on.”

“Then… first, we’re renovating the place.” You say. “This floor’s gonna have to go, to make way for higher ceilings. So I meant to ask whether you would accept to move to another room. What do you say?”
“Why not…” She ponders in response, her voice echoing in your mind. “But it needs to be a better sanctuary then. Red tapestry of course. With web-themed embroidery. And a bigger bed! And don’t be shy on the gold and jewels for the decoration. And a fountain of blood in the middle!” She says excitedly, but then seems to reconsider. “Uhm… No, no, not blood. Too dirty. And the smell would be unpleasant. Colored water will suffice for the fountain. Yes, all that would make for a place worthy of my grandeur.”

You find yourself a bit dumbstruck. You didn’t expect Maafah to give you such an expansive wish list for another room. And now she told you all that, you don’t think she’s gonna take back anything from her sanctuary wish-list.
“O-okay… There’s… something else I need to ask you.” You decide to move on. “There this mayor, Goldfeather, he’s being a jerk and wants a way to make sure large mares can be controlled if they go on a rampage. I’m thinking about just overthrowing him in the future, but until I have the perfect plan, I’ll play along his demands. So… could you help me with that? I’d like to make it look like he can shrink mares on a word of command, but you’d be one transferring the size somewhere else in truth. Surely you have the power to do that.”

“Yes…” She nods “What you speak of is without a doubt in the realm of my power. But I have better things to do than to overlook some regular size transfers between ungrateful mares. So if I want to make it interesting, I’m gonna have to add a little catch to this deal. Somepony has to make me an offering…” Maafah giggles mischievously. “It can be you, or it can be anypony else. Your choice, Wizard.”

“That sounds…” You gulp as you take an apprehensive step back. “Ahem… Is there something you would do… just if I ask you politely?”

“Silly mortal.” The goddess boops your nose with the tip of her hoof. “What would be the fun in that? I love you, tiny Wizard, but I do not intend to grant your every wish… unless you can show me you deserve it. For example, if you build me a better sanctuary… I’ll be more than happy to move wherever it is! And who knows? Maybe a beautiful place of worship may bring my blessing upon your worthless city...” The goddess gives you a wink.

“And that mayor…” Maafah rolls on her back, her black mane cascading on you and covering you up to the neck. The dark hair feels strangely warm, but your limbs are also unable to move in the mass of darkness. You feel yourself starting to sweat.
“Let me give you another offer.” Maafah announces. “Stomping your enemies myself would be no fun, so I’ll make it a challenge to you instead. If you can bring that Golfeather stallion in here, or even one of his hair, a feather, or any part of his body to me…” You can feel the dark mane of Maafah constrict your whole body. “I can guarantee he’ll stop being a problem to you once for all.”

All of a sudden, the sea of mane around you vanishes, and you fall on the red bed with a soft *poof*. Maafah’s room has become completely silent again. You exit the room without delay.

At the end of the week, you’re left with the following options to show Goldfeather a way to control large mares.

>Maafah’s help:
The trickster goddess is willing to help you, transferring size between your mares at their will. However, she desired to have some fun with you in return, and was worryingly mysterious about what exactly she intended to have from you in return.
There may be a way to negotiate with her, though. You could try to honor her, or offer her another way to pick on you. That way you may at least know what you’re getting into. But you’re almost certain Maafah won’t help you for free.

>Tide Novem’s solution:
Through research, the potion pony has found a way to make it possible for your potions to affect a mare by mere contact. With that and the brewing of many mk1 potions, you could offer a solution to Goldfeather.
It will take 1 more week to research, and loads of brewing-slots then. The mayor may accept to give you the means to create more potions faster in that case, but some of his trusted goons will probably watch you work your magic too...

>Sulfury’s solution:
The fiery mare shows you the plans of what could pass for a doomsday device by your standards. She’ll need 3 weeks to complete this wand-like weapon which will have the terrifying power to nullify the magic keeping the bodies of your mares functioning despite the increase of size. 
Any mare larger than 7 feet will get almost instantly out of breath and have trouble supporting her own body, and any mare larger than 25 feet will faint in moments.

And according to her calculation, using the wand on a 100+ foot mare will be lethal by organ failure in a matter of minutes.

Unfortunately, Butterswirl did not come back with anything usable in your case. To keep the sphinx away, the inhabitants of Somnambula cultivate a giant breed of catnip, and send baskets of it down the river to keep the evil creature away. Since the sphinx was never sighted after Somnambula's tale, this sounds mostly like superstition.

Seeing Butterswirl’s travel through her eyes, you couldn't help but to get curious about this legendary giant and mystical cat-pony. What really happened to the sphinx after the story is a mystery, and it was a long time ago. No sphinx was ever seen in the desert town since then. The desert itself is a vast place too, and while there’s little doubt the mythical giantess existed in the past, there’s little way to know if she survived or had descendants. You’re not sure whether there’s a way to uncover the centuries-old trail of the sphinx in this age, but you certainly know many cunning or powerful ponies to ask for guidance.

Despite the heavy mood after Maafah’s ascension and Goldefeather’s threat, some pleasant news still made their way to you. To your mailbox, precisely, in the form of a letter signed from Thread Lightly.

Hurrying inside, you immediately open the envelope to read the words written in neat hoofwriting.

“Dear Growth Wizard.”

“I am happy to finally send you this letter. Sorry I did not send news any sooner, but I wanted to make sure I was in a stable situation, so you wouldn’t have to worry anymore.”
“And indeed, I’m glad to announce you I found a landing point! After I left Klugetown, I traveled alone in the desert, and then in the badlands for five days. It was hard, and for a moment I was afraid I was lost. But eventually I managed to make it to Dodge City.”

“I was very wary at first. This city still reminded me of Klugetown at first, but as soon as I had asked somepony for directions, I knew I was not in that mean town anymore. In no time I saw myself offered a meal and a place to stay, the ponies looking shocked I could have crossed the desert alone. Their kindness was so spontaneous I was afraid I was being tricked at first, but they were all genuine, even if I had never met any of them before.”

“I found some work I could do to thank them for a few days, and that way I could also rest from crossing the desert. But now I wasn’t in Klugetown anymore I needed to think about an actual destination. Despite how nice ponies had been to me, I longed to get out of these dry lands once for all. After a couple days, I decided to move again.”

“Did you know Wizard? All of Equestria’s major cities are linked together with railways. So I had plentiful choices. I wanted to go north, but somewhere quieter the this Crystal Empire, so I bought my ticket to Vanhoover. This place is so lovely Wizard, so calm, and the ponies are all so friendly. It’s like I came back to a home I didn’t know I had.”

“I found a family of ponies who accepted to have me stay with them for now. They’re called the Pines. They’re woodcutters, and they accepted to hire me to help them. That was a week ago, and everything’s going smoothly, better that I could have ever imagined. I think the Pines really like having me around to help them in the woods.  We have all our meals together, and their two fillies love playing with me. I’m also starting to know the ponies at the marketplace to when I do the shopping. There’s been quite a number to come a talk to me. I think I’m a bit of an attraction in Vanhoover now. The Pines even offered me to help me build my own house yesterday! Doesn’t that sound perfect?”

“But for now, I turned down their offer. I’m still not sure if I want to settle here, in Vanhoover, for good. I feel so much better here than in Klugetown, but there so much places in Equestria, and they all sound so lovely, and yet so different! I’m thinking about exploring them all before choosing a place to stay for good.”

“But I think I will stay in Vanhoover for at least a few months. I feel thankful with what I have right now, and each new day feels like a blessing to me.”

“If you ever feel like searching for me Wizard, now you know where to find me. I hope we will meet again in the future.”

“Sincerely, Thread Lightly.”

With the letter was a photo showing your former employee with her host family in a forest of pine trees. Thread Lightly shows a bright smile to the camera, and the other ponies look genuinely glad to have her, and comfortable around her huge body. You notice a date on the other side of the picture indicating it was take a week in the past.

You reveal the content of the letter to everypony else, and they are just as relieved as you are from hearing their former colleague is doing alright. 

Later this week you visit Nails and tell her about your new projects.

First, you bring up Maafah’s idea of a sanctuary. With all the luxury she desires, this will cost you 6000 bits, and 1 week to build. Most of the price here will go in materials.

Then, you talk to Nails about building a bathhouse for your mares. The tan unicorn obviously likes the idea, and tells you she’ll look around town for possible solutions.
A few days later, she tells you about some big but cheap buildings you could purchase and that she could turn into a pool suitable for your giant mares. She’s talking about former warehouses, and Nails tells you she could manage a 300 ft long, 200 ft wide and 10 to 30ft deep pool inside them. Such a building would cost 5000 bits and 2 weeks to build, as well as 150 bits a week to keep some clean water running. Nails also tells you she could add a supersized sauna, hot bath or Jacuzzi for 2000 bits and 1 week each.

“You know, maybe we could also all go to the beach one of these days.” Nail also tells you. “On the back of a 50 feet tall mare, the ocean is only about… 3 hours away? And should we get one really huge flier thanks to that alicorn potion, we could arrive there even faster!”

You’ve been hearing whispers about Rose’s this week. With both her godly figure and her wondrous milk, the mare’s company has become one of the most sought-after privilege of Klugetown. She spends most of her working hours at the estate of rich clients, and the audience at the show she organized this week reached an all-time-high. The realization dawns upon you that Rose probably has reached peak popularity in Klugetown, with all the potential large mare enthusiasts already longing for her. She’s a real celebrity now. Rose’s income probably won’t increase much anymore even if she gets bigger than she currently is. Only the advertisement you made in other parts of world will bring a few new faces over time.
Unfortunately, Goldfeather is not among her fans.

This week Canopy Veil was in the wetlands with Swamp Lily for one last week. She comes back with a proud smile on her face.
“It’s so strange, and yet so wonderful at the same time.” Canopy says, caressing your cheek with the back of her hoof. “I can feel you, Wizard. And everypony else. I do not need to hear you anymore! I just know you’re there… I don’t think I can accurately describe how it feels… but I’m glad I made it. To tell you the truth, I always wondered what it would feel like if my eyes started to work one day… what new feelings would I discover, or what did colors look like…” She smiles. “But now I can sense something else. I can feel your mind a little. Just the surface. Probably… like colors on your spirit. All this dead wood, and all the lands bellow were dull and grey. But everypony here shines like a bonfire to me.”
You're glad to hear traveling in the wetlands wasn't in vain, and give Canopy Veil a well-deserved welcome-back hug.

You may be thinking about simply buying time with the Mayor with a solution to neutralize a giant mare for now, but you’re seriously thinking about overthrowing this mafia dude. After all, you’re the one with a group of giant mares at your orders, and they’re bound to grow even bigger. They’re probably unstoppable already! Maybe you’ll have his manor stomped into rubble for good measure.
Since she seemed to know the most about him, you waited for Canopy Veil to return before talking to anypony about your goal.

“Watch out, Wizard…” Canopy looks around worriedly after you brought up the topic in private “Walls have ears in Klugetown. Especially for this kind of talk…”

Before speaking again, she brings you to her room, and borrows Nails’ gramophone to cover her voice from potential eavesdropper. It feels a little weird to see her all paranoid all of a sudden…

“Listen Wizard.” She starts to look very serious as she talks. “Goldfeather is a really nasty pony. It is true. We’re certainly strong enough to defeat any number of his goons head-on at this point, but that’s not was this pony is about. I was too young to remember when he came into power twelve years ago, but I have no trouble believing the stories I heard. Goldfeather didn’t inherit his title. He fought a war in the shadows against the previous Mayor, and eliminated him. Goldfeather is cunning, he can be patient to attain his goal, and his cruelty knows no bounds. His tactics involved blackmailing, poison, and assassination when he was fighting for power. Taking ponies hostage was his favorite method, anypony was fine to hurt in his book, as long as it grieved his enemies.”

“Now, he had to swap to a more… acceptable style when he officially came to power, but if you use force to throw him down, there’s little doubt the crime lord in him will come back to life. His presence is deeply rooted in Klugetown, and he’ll be able to hide in the depths of this city for as long as it takes. At this point, he’ll most likely do everything in his power to make your life a nightmare. Forget about walking alone outside, and never sleep without somepony watching over you. We will also become targets. And so will our friends in Klugetown. Velvet Pillow and Butterswirl have little ties in here, and I don’t know about Coal Vein, but Rose’s friends, and mines at Oasis… It would be wishful thinking to expect Goldfeather to leave them alone.”

“But… you’re sick of Goldfeather controlling Klugetown, right?” You ask The chocolate mare. “What do you think we should do then?”
“I… don’t know…” Canopy Veil shakes her head in dismay. “Goldfeather always made sure to have all the cards in his hoof, and unlike us he’s not afraid of playing dirty. I always hoped… that if one day, if the majority of the ponies of Klugetown united under a common banner and rejected him, he would have no choice but to leave. I know he’s being openly hostile to you and your business right now, but fighting him head on is the worst thing to do I’m afraid. If there’s another way we could use… I don’t know about it.” She admits, looking sad as she cannot help you further.

It seems that even if attacking Goldfeather is an option, there’s many risks involved. The guy won’t just go away, no matter how much hoofpower you have available.

This week you brewed two mk11 potions, both based on Butterswirl’s build, with guaranteed extra size and butt! During the process, you added Rose’s milk to one of them. It’s been shinning with a faint white glow since them. Neither you nor Tide Novem can tell what’s gonna come out of this. You also made one mk2 for one of Nails' employee.

You've been accompanying Cola Vein on her routine everyday too. On the grey mare's advice, you brought dumbbells with you, which are much easier to train with than rocks. All while going on her own training, Coal Vein has decided to supervise your workout. Her coaching is harsh, but you never hurt yourself, and you definitely made progress on the number of reps you can make and how long you can keep running. You sleep better at night, your body is at peace while you work in the lab, and your appetite has increased, but you do not think there's a significant result on your strength yet after only one week of training.
You're no earth pony after all…

 You also sold the potions you made last week to Nails’ employees and got back a handsome amount of bits back. The mares didn’t have the money ready, but the tan unicorn was willing to advance bits for them to become bigger.
This money allowed you to purchase an airship this week for 3000 bits. That way, you'll be able to save 1000 bits of ingredients each week in exchange of 200 bits for a crew. Since it's rightfully yours, you may also use it for other purposes.
The crew went on an ingredient run this week, and the ingredient discount will start next week.

Already, Sulfury has taken a look at the ship, and with an excited smile she announced you that with 1000 bits and 1 week she'd be able to significantly boost its speed.
"Like I told you Wizard, just let me work my magic, and Thread Lightly will be only 4 hours of flight away anymore!" She says with a wink.

You also took the time to send a letter to Bleeding Heart, the leader of Oasis. She's available to discuss with you whenever you want.

This week : 3064 bits. - 27 (expanses) - 30(beauty products )- 1100 (potion mk11*2)-100(potion mk2) – 3000 (airship) -200(crew wage/ fuel)+775 +250+250 +325(selling potions) – 60 (Suflury’s wage) + 841(income from Velvet Pillow) + 608 (income from Coal Vein)+ 1897(income from Rose) + 300(income from Butterswirl) + 80 (Nails) +2564(income from show) – 269 (Rose's wage) – 50 (Canopy's's wage)- 60 (Butterswirl's wage) -173(Velvet's wage) – 150(Coal's wage) =  5735 bits.

Butterswirl worked 1 day for Oasis this week.

>What do?

See you tomorrow for our weekly session.
Since there many things going on, and much more characters than we started with, I'm thinking about making two session for one week of in game time from now on so we can have time for more casual interaction.



You think back about Sulfury's offer f0ro your ship. Currently, it takes something like 12 hours of flight to reach Vanhoover, so you'd be able to arrive there and get back on the same day with Sulfury's upgrade.

You're still not sure which option to choose to appease Goldfeather yet. Even Maafah's proposition sounds helpful, but you doubt simply becoming small is going to cut it out for that deal. She said she wanted to have fun, and the joke must on you or your mares. The big advantage with that option is that the power won't be in Goldfeather's hooves.
Sulfury's plan looks scary, but there'll be only once device to watch for at least. And if you manage to take it from him he won't be able to hurt any giant mare anymore!
Tide's solution has advantages too. You think even outside of this ordeal, potion activated by contact could be helpful in the future.

You still have until the end of today to make a decision.

For now, you decide to proceed with the potion distribution.

First, it's high time Canopy Veil caught up to the size the rest of your cast. You give her the potion with Rose's milk inside.
"Hmm?" She seems quizzical. "What did you put into this one, Wizard? I don't remember Rose helping you brewing your potion."
And before you can answer, she drinks the content of the vial.

This potion was based on Butterswirl's build, so it's no surprise the chocolate mare starts growing extremely fast. She lets out a small wow as he perspective shifts, her body growing by about a foot a second. She reaches 15 feet fast, and doesn't slow down at 20. But that's not the only thing growing on Canopy Veil. Her behind inflates faster than the rest of her, reaching proportions similar to the ones of Butterswirl. The chocolate probes the mountains of flesh with her hoof, awe on her face as she feels the fat jiggle at her every move.
And there's also… two other mounds with increase in size in this process. Canopy's teats seem to fill up as she grows. They do not quite reach the girth of Rose mammaries, but from overlookable bumps, they turn into a proud couple of protruding hills. This must be what adding milk to the potion had as an effect.

Canopy's growth stops as she reaches 27 feet and 2 inches. But then, something wrong seems to happen.

A burning pain suddenly starts to radiate from the chocolate mare's core, and she start retching violently. She falls to her knees, under to worried looks of everypony else. Rose, who now stands at 28 feet and 7 inches comes to hold her while she calms down.
"Ouch…" Canopy Veils whimpers as the pain subsides. "This is a bad sign, isn't it?"

Immediately, you notice some change on Canopy Veil. From harmless and flat pony teeth, her mouth is now filled to the brim with cruel and sharp-looking teeth, akin to the ones of a predator. That's the only visible change for now, but you fear you hit a bad effect with that potion.

Fetching your device, your suspicion is proved right by the results.
You struck not one, but two fumbles with this potion. Which means you got a bunch of additional effect thanks to the exploding criticals upgrade. The natural growth upgrade is also active, and Canopy Veil should keep growing a couple inches each week on her own from now on. You also struck a noticeably high amount of aroused growth. Canopy Veil may grow up to three time her current size when she's turned on…

>What do?
"That's not good…" You wince. "If I had to take a guess, I'm afraid you're in for a big change in diet, Canopy..."
"Oh, no…" The mare puts a hoof on her moth. "No, this can't be true!"
There, the mare gets back inside, and immediately heads to the kitchen. She takes a couple of apples and shove them in her mouth. But immediately, she lets out a sickened retch, and after only a few seconds she throws up the fruits, a disgusted look on her face.

"Urg…" She grunts, coughing out the last bits of apple. "How does this… tastes so awful? This is horrible!"
Canopy turns to you, a look of panic on her face.
"Wizard, there's another potion, right? Can I have it please? I don't think I can make it like that for a whole week…"

"Hold on. Tell me how you feel, first." You ask back. "Where in your body was the pain earlier?"
"Well, it concentrated in my belly. It was like my whole digestive track was turned inside out. Now I also feel restless, and…" She looks away. "Kinda hungry, too…"

This is worrying indeed. Especially since there's another fumble which probably hasn't showed up yet.

>What do?

"Ehm… how hungry are you exactly?"
"Well…" Canopy pokes her belly. "It feels like I haven't eaten anything for a day…"

"Hmm…" You ponder. "Then would it be okay if you just ate one goat? Nopony's gonna miss a single goat."
"WHAT?!" Canopy looks horrified. "E-eating another sentient creature? You can't be serious Wizard!"

As she says that, a bright green gleam appears in Canopy's eyes. She looks angry, and your Growth Wizard powers allow you to notice she gained 1 foot of height as she voiced her refusal.

"Ahem… hold on." You take a worried step back. "Let's ask Rose and Coal Vein if they know a way to find a fitting meal for your diet. They've been in Klugetown for a while, and there may be place for gryphons and abyssinians to find their food."

While the alicorn doesn't have a clue about where to find what you speak of, Coal Vein sounds like she has the information you need.
"I looked into meat for protein supplements in the past." Coal Vein says. "But nothing beats lentils in the end. Still, I should be able to find something if you can wait a little."

Canopy seems to calm down a little as Coal Vein goes out to buy her meal. Canopy shrunk back to her previous size, but she still looks restless. It doesn't look like she noticed that last little growth spurt.

>What do?

For a second, you wonder if Canopy Veil meant sapient rather than sentient earlier. But in truth, as a pony she might simply have never thought about eating anything sapient or sentient in the first place.

"Are you alright?" You want to relieve the giant mare a little. "Sorry for putting so much pressure on you as soon as you come back. But don't worry. We have a potion ready if things start getting out of hoof."
"If things start getting out of hoof?" Canopy gives you a worried look. "Things look rather out of hoof already to me! Why don't you want to give me the potion? I don't think it can get worse than this, can it? Are you just so eager to make another mare grow this week I don't count anymore?"

Canopy looks bitter, and the green glimmer returns in her eyes, along a few more inches in size.

The rest of your mares remain silent, but they're still around. If sounds like they do not know how to deal with this situation.

>What do?
 
"Canopy, how can you think that? You're so important to me." You stare in her eyes. "You'll get the potion before the end of today. I would never leave you for a week like that if you're not okay like this! I just wanted to understand what you're going through right now. I want to know what my potion did, but if it's really making you distressed, I'm gonna fetch the other one right away."

Canopy lets out a heavy sigh. The chocolate mare sitting next to you seems to calm down a little.
"Yes, you did hire me for the purpose of testing potions after all." She says. "But sorry, I just feel so weird… I'd like to get rid of this condition right away please. I don't feel like eating flesh. Mostly because I'm afraid I would like it too much right now…"

"So you're gonna let the potion win?" You challenge her. " Listen Canopy. You have a strength in you. I know you can push through any obstacle as long as you put your mind to it and focus. You wanted to get big, no matter the hardship. You told me that, remember? So show me now. Show me that determination of yours!"

"Wizard…" She shakes her head in dismay "I want to get larger so I can help ponies better. I don't think I'll be able to help anypony like that. I mean…" She gets her face closer to yours and starts to whisper. 
"You smell wonderful Wizard. I never noticed it before, but today it's making my mouth water. I'm afraid that if ever get to only lick you, I just won't be able to resist and swallow you whole. So no. I'm not going to be able to help ponies if I see them as little walking treats. Give me the potion, before I bite off the feeding hoof."
Canopy Veil stares at you for a few more seconds, her mouth half open, and an entranced look on her face. She then shakes her head and lets out a frustrated huff, as she shifts a little further away from you.

Not wanting to risk any more trouble, you go fetch he other potion and give it to Canopy.
The mare shrinks to 23 feet and 10 inches, and her butt shrinks a little too. Her tits turn back to the ones of a normal mare, and so does her teeth. After reading you recording, there was no crit or fumble on that potion, just some growth and confidence boost.

"Thank you, Wizard." Canopy tells you, after letting out a big huff of relief. "And sorry. I guess I'm not as courageous as Butterswirl about seeing myself transformed".

As the chocolate mare decide to have herself some oats to satisfy her hunger, Coal Vein comes back with a heavy looking bag on her back. It's large enough a whole cow could fit inside. Still, she seems to understand her delivery isn't needed anymore.
"You owe me 120 bits." She simply tells you as she puts the bag on the ground.

>What do?

"I guess we'll be donating food to Oasis this week." You say as you give the money to Coal Vein. "I just hope there's poor cats a gryphons to feed too…"

Now, you're feeling a bit disappointed. Canopy was ready to put you in her mouth without question, and now she's back to being boringly herbivorous. You almost regret giving her this potion at this point. Will you ever find a giant mare kinky and crazy enough to put you in her mouth in your nearby area…

At least, this fumble problem is taken care of. One less thing to worry about.

Now you only have to decide how to proceed with Goldfeather today.

And… you've been wishing to find some time to get closer to your mares. Close… close, not as in-their-belly-close, but maybe get to know them a little better.
You could try that, or you could just ask Canopy of somepony else to have some fun in the bedroom. You never get tired of this.

>What do?

You think Sulfury's device will be the best option, so you decide to inform Golfeather right away.

The fiery mare accompanies you to the mayor's manor. You do not get to see him this time, but instead meet a trio of brainy-looking unicorns, flanked with half a dozen guards. They listen with attention when Sulfury exposes her plans, and they carefully examine the notes she brought.
Once she's done talking a after many questions, the unicorns leave the room. They come back a dozen minutes later to inform your offer has been accepted. Goldfeather expects to get his hoof on the device in four weeks at most.

Both you and Sulfury let out a relieved sigh when you're back in the sunlight again. Goldfeather will leave you alone now. At least for a few weeks.

As you return to your estate, you've made a decision.

To hell with waiting! You'll get inside a mare's mouth today. And it'll be Canopy's mouth for Celestia's sake! You go straight to the chocolate mare when you come back to your estate, radiatind with rightful determination. You plant yourself in front of her and state :

"Canopy Veil. I want to get inside your mouth."

The earth pony's face twitches, and she shows you a confused smile.
"Ahem… N-now that's one unusual demand." Canopy says. "Just to clear things up, that's not a metaphor to say you want a blow-"
"No. My whole body inside your mouth. You. Me. In the bedroom. Pronto."

Canopy Veils looks dumbstruck. It seems like she didn't expect you to ask for something like that. Which is preposterous after how much she teased you with that predatory attitude from earlier!
Still, she accepts and you both go to her room. It's been a while since you've been here. You notice there's a small bookcase in here now, as well as a dozen of photos showing Canopy with what you assume are other members of Oasis. Butterswirl is in some of them.

As an unspoken rule, the blue mare decides to apply tinfoil over her head to leave you alone during this moment. Despite your influence on here, it's a bit early for the blue mare to get excited at the idea of being swallowed by a giantess.

"You're gonna have to guide me, Wizard." Canopy tells you as she lies on her bed. "I never imagined I would ever do something like this in my lifetime. I guess it starts with going aaaaah…"
The chocolate mare opens her maw wide, only a few feet away from your face. Standing at almost 24 feet, the wet cave is large enough for you to get inside, but maybe not to fit all your body. The wet and hot breath of Canopy washes all over your face, still smelling like oats.

>What do?

"I'll admit, I've never thought about this before either. But there was just something about earlier that sent a shiver down my spine." You tell Canopy.

You place a hoof on her presented tongue. The muscle is warm, and just a bit raspy and squishy. You want to get inside this warm entrance very bad, but you need to prepare Canopy first.

You plant a little kiss on the mare's upper lips, then slowly pull her jaw shut. Canopy lets out a quizzical hum in reaction, before starting to kiss your whole face back.
"What's that new color?" She purrs "This is exciting you, isn't it? I can feel how much you lust for my body Wizard. It's really... flattering."

There, she brings you closer with a hoof for the next kiss. But she parts her lips, and put your whole head inside her mouth. You can feel her teeth on the back on you neck down to its base, while her powerful tongue slides up and down your face. You head is covered in hot saliva, and the air in Canopy's mouth is beyond stuffy in your lungs.

The giant mare bobs her head up and down slowly, sucking in a calm rhythm, sending shivers of pleasure through your whole upper body. Everything above your neck is encased in slick wall of flash, and the suction she periodically applies make you light-headed with bliss.

Canopy Veil releases you after a minute, your face drenches in her slobber, but showin a gleaming smile to the giantess.

"How was that?" She asks you with a nonchalant smile.
"Fine for an appetizer." You answer. "But I need to get you going for the main course."
"Sounds tasty." Canopy giggles. "Then I better get myself ready."

A mischievous look on her face, you see the mare use one of her hooves to pleasure herself.
Canopy lets out a low moan at the first stroke, and you witness her body shoot up a few feet in reaction.

"How big do you want me, wizard?" She asks lusciously. "Do you want a snug fit? Or do you want to feel like a little lollipop on my tongue? I have a hunch about what you'll choose though…"
She rubs herself once more as she winks to you, getting close to 30 feet if she was standing.

>What do?

"Lollipop please." You mutter in an awed daze.
 Canopy Veils shows you a warm smile and start to touch herself faster. Her growth keeps up with her ministrations, and her body is taking more and more of the room's space.

But even before she's done growing, you see her open her inviting maw wide again, and close it around your upper body. She holds you with her lips, and you feel yourself lifted above the ground, while Canopy slowly sucks the rest of your body in.

She carefully holds you against the top of her mouth at first, squeezed between the squish of her large tongue and her hard palate. You could have been touching both her rows of teeth with your hooves at first, but as she moans in delight, Canopy Vail and her lovely mouth keep expanding. You feel her tongue get larger, stronger beneath you, and at some point, the mare has become so huge you're only a marble on her mouth muscle anymore. You're completely inside her maw at this point.

A rush of hot air comes from the depth of the dangerous chasm of her throat while a chuckle echoes around you.
Canopy's tongue starts to shift under you as she decides to show you around your new home. You're pushed against the hard teeth on the mare, all while Canopy seems to be rolling on her back. The change of gravity makes you lose your sense of direction while you're forced again the elastic insides on Canopy's cheeks, then sucked to the other side of her mouth.

Your body is experiencing a flurry of different sensations. So many textures rubbing against your body and sex, all hot, all wet, and bathed in a slick layer of saliva imbued with Canopy's scent. You head starts to spin, and your heart to pound as you're getting close.
Maybe her new sense allowed Canopy to sense that, because she blocks you, back against her front teeth at this moment, and there her colossal tongue start to slide up and down very fast on your shaft.

You don't hold up for long, and let out a loud grunt inside the drenched cave of Canopy while you erupt inside her. At the same time, Canopy pushes herself over the edge too, and gravity changes direction again as the mare rears up while her suppressed cry of orgasm makes her whole mouth and you vibrate in unison with her climax. She pushed you hard again her teeth with her tongue, making sure you wouldn't fall somewhere she won't be able to get you back from.

As you both come down from your respective orgasms, Canopy's huge mouth opens, and she sticks her tongue out with your saliva-covered form on it.

Only her snout fills you whole vision, and at her maximum size, Canopy's body covers almost the whole room. She's so gigantic… Only a few inches shy of 60 feet tall you think.
This is what the average mare should look like according to you.

>What do?

You push yourself back on your hooves, taking a little distance so you can see more of the wonder Canopy has become. You can't refrain a dreamy smile to bloom on your face.
"You're beautiful…" You whisper. "Hah… and that was really intense."

"It did feel special." Canopy answers, a blush on her face. "You whole body was inside me. I could feel your every limb and move in detail, and I could do whatever I wanted with you. That was… really intimate, Wizard. I'm flattered you trust me so much."

"..Hey, after we get cleaned up, do you want to go out and do something?" You offer. "I don't have anything specific in mind really, is there anything you'd like to do?"
"Eh… I'm not sure either." She tells you. "I'm not the kind to go out often like Rose. Maybe… I know a place where they play music at every hour. We could have something to drink here."

After Canopy has shrunk to almost 24 feet tall, and that you both took a shower, you ride the back of the mare as you go in town. You're a bit worried at first, as she takes the directions of one of the poorest part of town, but not even pegasus would think about aggressing you on the top of your mighty steed.

But far from being intimidated, a good portion of the ponies you meet in these streets seem to know Canopy, and they exchange a polite wave with her as she passes.

You're close to the lowest part of Klugetown when you arrive at your destination. A joint, The Backbone, which look like it installed itself in an ancient warehouse. At least the place is large enough for Canopy to fit in comfortably. The interior is plain, and a great number of patrons are enjoying a meal at this hour. Laughs and the clatters of metal dishes can be hear everywhere.
And as Canopy promised, a trio of ponies are playing a jazzy tune with a piano, a saxophone and a bass. Despite how big and noisy the place is, the walls somehow allow the music to be heard over the rest of the sounds without altering its purity.

"Sorry, I know it's not very exciting." She says as you sit around a table. "But I find it relaxing to come here."

>What do?

"Oh that's not a problem, it is nice here." You say. "I guess I never really take the time to relax, there is always so much to do. So, do you like this kind of music?"
"Hum." Canopy nods. "I really like it how the pace can change, and how the deep notes make my ears buzz. I've been saving up to buy myself a gramophone actually, just like Nails' one. I should have enough this week… if I can get enough work done." Canopy Veil smiles cheekily.



"And what about you, Wizard?" She asks next. "You don't look like you have many hobbies."
"It may look like I don't, but check this out." You declare, fetch you flute from inside you wizard hat, and start improvising your own brand of jazz music.

The cry of a mandragora is probably more pleasant to hear than your groove, and Canopy start to laugh as a rotten tomato from the assistance hits the back of your head, putting an end to your performance.

"Seriously, though." Canopy speaks up after calming down "You devote all your energy to potion making. That, and trying to make the estate a better place. You really are all about giant mares, aren't you?"

There's silence for a second, and they Canopy lets out a chuckle.
"Isn't it silly? Of all the ponies who tried to change the world, to shape in to they desire, to conquer it or to change it for the best, you're the one who looks like he gonna make it. But what's gonna happen to you next? Is there even something next? Or do you just intend to make all the mares of Equestria bigger and bigger until you die?"

You ponder as you take a sip from your glass. Your final spell will tie the concept of big mares into the very fabric of this world, but you don't know how it's gonna manifest precisely. You do not know what casting this world-changing spell will do to you either.

>What do?

"I'm not sure. I just like big mares." You shrug. "I guess I'll just retire. Maybe settle down somewhere. If there's some evil to fight I'll try to help, though. Even If I'm not the best at it."

"Eh… I think you'd do fine." Canopy says. "I think the Storm King and his mooks wouldn't have stirred so much trouble if a pony like Buttersirl had been around at the time. Or somepony like Coal Vein even…" 
"Well, yeah. Maybe I could make ponies' lives better with my magic. I already gifted the stallions of this world with the wonder of lovely giant mares. What could I gift them next? Immortality?"

"Try giving them potions for a bigger penis." Canopy says with a chuckle. "That seems to be the most popular demand according to snake-oil vendors."

"But more seriously, maybe I'll help Oasis expand beyond Klugetown once I perfect my growth potions. They'll need a lot of help. There's still a lot of ponies in distress in this world."
"You would?" Canopy doesn't sound like she believes you. "You're just planning to help poor mares out to persuade them to drink your potions later, aren't you?"

>What do?

"You are far too used to Klugetown if you think I would do something like that." You respond. "There's no point in making mares bigger if they're ultimately not comfortable with it!"
"Then you won't talk about your potions anymore then, because surely you understand ponies in need will not all be thrilled when you offer them to become giantesses in response to their misery."

"Well… I'll suggest they try things out!" You say. "I have my preferences, but I won't force my potions on anypony. Such would be straying to the dark side… And why would I end up doing that in the first place, while mares will be queuing up to get the chance to get a potion when my work comes to fruition? I won't even need to persuade them!"

Canopy Veil chuckles in response, shaking her head with an amused smile on her face.

"I don't even know why you're trying to argue, Wizard. There's no need to hide it." Canopy's giant hoof comes to boop your snout. "You're about making mares bigger before anything else. But I never meant that in a bad way! I always believed you had to be at peace with yourself, to be able like what you are, before you could really commit to helping others. Ponies who are fine with giving all they have, genuinly selfless ponies… these are very rare. And sometimes they're not even the ponies we need to help others! Sometimes, ponies need to see somepony who's happy doing what they love, so they can muster the courage to stand up for a future they want for themselves! So don't you try to wow me by pretending you're a saint, Wizard." She smiles cheekily. "You're a wholesome pony already in my book. Keep it that way!"

You shrug in dismay and chuckle at the mare's accusation. It sounds like the idea she has of yourself is written in stone already and making her think otherwise is not gonna happen in a day. At least you don't think it was a lie when she said she had a good opinion about you.

You return to your estate some time later, and spend the rest of the day lazing around your group of giant mares.

That's it for this week. See you next time.
Make sure to write any comment, critic or comment you may have.

Swamp Lilly will be in town this week.
Available activities for Swamp Lily
For your potions:
>Growing Harmony: 5 weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily understand the universal nature of you craft, and tells you about a ways to spread growth around town more easily. With that upgrade, you mares will be able to duplicate the effects the potion and to gift them to one another willing mare at a time with a simple physical contact. The effects would dissipate after up to one hour unless the contact is renewed.
>Mind Empathy: 2 Weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily thinks this could be a good idea to help your mares adjust to new size. Your potions will let the mares who drink them feel the state of mind of ponies around them, so they can know when ponies around them feel comfortable, scared, or are getting hurt.
>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Swamp Lily to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

Available activities for Sulfury:
For your potions:

>Chaotic Range: 1 week to research. 
Instead of rolling several dices, the growth range of a potion will be determined by a single random number, increasing the chance to strike the extreme ends of the growth range. (for example, instead of Rollin 4d12 for the growth range, a random number between 4 and 48 will be chosen).
>Critical Focus: 3 weeks to research. 
Sulfury thinks she can increase the chances for the most powerful effects of your potions to show up. Will double the chance to get a crit or fumble at each random effect rolled.
>Bigslayer: 3 weeks to build.
Sulfury will build the ant-big-mare wand Goldfeather requested. It will be able to incapacitate mare, and will be more efficient the bigger the mare is.
>Study: 1 week to research. 
You can tell Sulfury to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.
>Boosted thrusters: 1 week and 1000 bits to produce.
Sulfury will add boosters on your airship so it can go VERY FAST.

Tide Novem
>Bottom-up brewing : 3 weeks to research.
Instead of a regular potion, you may create a new type of brew by adding up any number of effects among those you've already discovered. Each effect added to the potion costs 50 bits. Crits and fumbles do not apply. The 6 inches of growth automatically added with each tier of potion counts as an effect. You can only add effects within the limit of how many you're discovered on a regular potion. (If you only have 3 increases of butt size in your regular potion, you cannot incorporate more than 3 increases of butt size in a bottom-up potion). A bottom-up potion will only override the particular effects of a regular potion if the bottom-up effects are stronger. A regular potion will override all bottom-up effects. 
>Effect reassignment : 2 weeks to research.
Whenever you brew a potion, you may permanently inhibit up to two effects of your choice to roll that many new ones.
>Critical purity : 2 weeks to research.
When a crit is rolled on a potion, all following fumbles on the same potion are rerolled. When a fumble is rolled, all following crits on the same potion are rerolled. Crits and fumbles make a potion glow respectively with a green or red aura.
>Basic enhancement : 1 week to research
Instead of automatically adding 6 inches for each tier on potion, a number of inches equal to the tier of the potion will be added instead.
>Chaos Theory : 3 weeks to research
Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble on one of your potions, add another random critical of fumble (respectively) among those you've already discovered.
>Power rerouting : 2 weeks to research
Tide Novem could discover this after the critical you found las week. Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble with this upgrade, it gets cancelled, but you get 5 basic effects to assign into whatever type of effect you want among those you have discovered already. (except the number of dice).
>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Tide Novem to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.





Despite Goldfeather’s threat, this week is unusually quiet for you and your mares, and you feel glad you can work on your potions with your mind being at peace for once.
Somehow, with how potent your potions have become, you even nourish the hope you might complete your research before you need to give anything to the mayor. There’s a high chance that either you won’t need to remain in Klugetown after that, or that you or your mares will be powerful enough to wipe the world clean of the evil pony’s existence.

You spend 5000 bits on having Nails building a bathhouse. Your employees unanimously salute your decision, and look forward to it. The building will be ready by the end of next week. Since your mares moved to the ne floor, they have enough space in their room for now. The commons are really cramped for some of them, though. You talk to Nails about displacing Maafah's room without destroying it to kept the works going, but she tell that's not going to be possible.

You keep accompanying Coal Vein one her daily training. While her own workout remains rather consistent, she keeps pushing you to intensify your program each day. The grey mare seems satisfied with your progress, showing you a silent but proud smile of encouragement at the end of the week. You dare say yourself that you start to feel bulkier and stronger after two weeks of regular training. Let’s just hope this is not mere wishful thinking.

Besides your muscles, something else has been swelling in your estate. It has become and habit for you and your mare kick off the day with a serving of Rose’s milk. But the mare must have found many other patrons for her divine brew, as her udders haves been producing more and more juice over the days. The two mounds have even swelled permanently. They squish against each other and against Rose’s thighs a little more each day. The two half-spheres are also protruding more from Rose crotch, their own weight bringing her mammaries further down, and reshaping them into fully visible balloons of soft tit-flesh.
Rose doesn’t seem to mind in the slightest. On the contrary, she seems to enjoy the hungry look she gets as stallions and mares of all size ogle her wonderful milky twins.

You were a little afraid Canopy would lose some clients after foregoing the lewd magic and horniness, but she seems to be doing fine over the week. Her sheer size, and the bulk of her new derriere have caught the eyes of many ponies. Furhtermore, she's beaming with confidence after getting back a safe way to navigate in the world.
As she announced, Canopy Veil found a gramophone for her room this week, and you bought a dozen records to start her collection. Canopy welcomes the gifts with a bright smile, and gives you a big kiss as a thanks.

But then you bring up a more serious matter, and have Canopy accompany to you to talk with Bleeding Heart. The red-maned pegasus lead you to a dull and small office as you arrive. With a bit of subtlety, you ask her if there's ponies linked with Oasis who are actively resisting against Goldfeather's rule. Canopy said she didn't know about such things, and your question only seem to put the pagasus in front of you ill-at-ease.

"I am sorry, Wizard." Bleeding Heart shakes her head. "But I'm not the pony you're looking for. We're not fighters here. None of us. We're here to help. Just go take a look at the ward of infectious diseases. Almost nopony dares to approach the patients there. Go here, ask the ponies what they think about getting themselves in a fight. Ask them what the color of freedom is. I think you'll understand."

"Now…" Bleeding Heart comes closer to you, and start to whisper. "There's several ponies who long to take Goldfeather's place. And there's mares among them. If you want to conspire against him, somepony who can directly profit from your potions might treat you more like an ally than a threat. I'd say… Mirage is the pony who's the most likely to respond to your pleas. She's in control of most of the drug and narcotic trade in Klugetown. She has some marepower under her already. If you go down that path, and that you could slip a word about about how much trouble the poor ponies of Klugetown face... I'd be grateful. But be careful. Goldfeather is probably suspicious about Mirage already."

At this point, Bleeding Heart comes back behind her desk. "That's all I have to say." She states.
After a formal goodbye, you leave the head of Oasis alone.

Since you’ve managed to accumulate three health effect, you can probably heal Sulfury’s face and eye, and make her a 25-feet giantess as a bonus. Unfortunately, the fiery mare isn’t as thrilled as she was in the past at the prospect.
“Eh…” She scratches the back of her neck, a nervous smile on her face. “You know… I might have said yes actually, if I wasn’t working on a device specially designed to harm the exact thing you offer to turn me into. Sorry, no bigness for me right now.” 

This week, you also write a response to Thread Lightly. You choose not to bother her with the grim political intrigues, and instead focus on the more lighthearted stuff. How you're renovating the place, the bathhouse which is getting built, the birth of Tide Novem, the soul bound you have with Butterswirl…
You try not to sound like you miss her too much, nor do you give any hint to her you're gonna visit her soon. For now, you'd rather have Thread enjoy her newfound tranquility in Caneighda without worrying about some fetish wizard getting in a fight over power with the local crime lord.

Rose and Butterswirl add their own messages to the mare, and you join photos of you and all the current mares working for you. 
You entrust the precious letter to Butterswirl so she can post it from Somnambula. Just in case somepony might start reading your mail and get some nasty ideas…

Velvet Pillow the changeling is probably the mare you know the least about among your workers. She's been making good money, but you've had little time to talk with her. Even Butterswirl didn't get to know her much.
Rose on the other hoof, is able to tell you a little more about the changeling.
"It's almost frightening, stud!" The alicorn tells you. "I've never seen somepony love that job so much. When she talked about spreading love in Klugetown, I didn't know how much she meant it. Truthfully, she's probably doing several times more stallions and mare than I do, but she's barely charging them! I even think she'd do it for free if it wasn't for you…"

"So a gift for that kind of mare…" Rose shrugs. "I don't even think 'toys' would work. She just wants to feel close to ponies… in the most literal sense. There isn't an ounce of violence or domination in that mare however. It's some twisted sort of kindness, but unapologetic kindness nonetheless."

You attempt to spend some time with Velvet Pillow, but as she tells you how happy she is you care about her she takes you in a hug. The hug soon turns in a flurry of sensual kisses, and before you know it you're pounding the giantess' pussy with abandon. When you emerge from a nap with a warm and fluffy feeling in your core, Velvet Pillow already left to spread more love in Klugetown. You told her not to, but you're pretty sure you were under her spell at some point this time. Or maybe you just like big mares. The feeling of her huge and slobbering snatch all around your shaft was definitely not a dream.

While you work with her in the lab, some questions about Swamp Lily come back to your mind. The pony seems to know a lot about spirits, and you suspect she might hold more than she tells you. Rather than to sneak around the pot, you decide you might as well be upfront with her about it.

"Me? A spirit?" The swamp pony chuckles after your question. "Now, I really wish to hear how you came to such a conclusion."
"You do know a lot about them and gods." You answer. "More than anypony I know. And you're a bit of a mystery to me. And the way you helped Canopy Veil, that all looks really… spiritual to me."
"Then allow me to unveil the truth." Swamp Lily says. "I am no spirit, Wizard. But ponies have lived in the wetlands since immemorial times, and they learned a lot about the nature here. No pegasus is strong enough to dispel the Sea of Clouds, so the nature has always been wild in these countries. That's why I know about the spirits of natures, and the gods of ponies. These share many similarities, and we would worship our ancestors, probably in a similar way the zebras do."

"All this knowledge were passed from generation to generation, and I was taught the ways to become the keeper of this knowledge. This is why I know about magic and spirits. However, living in the wetlands was a harsh live. Now that ponies found ways to travel to kinder lands, the population of my village dwindled over time. To the point that when my parents died, I was the only one left. Even the spirits of our ancestors turned silent, as nopony but I remember them anymore. I come to Klugetown to provide my services because there's nowhere else to. I may not be the last pony living in the wetlands, but I'm definitely the last of my village. That's about it."

"So… That vow of humility you talked to me about." You ask. "That's a part of being a keeper of knowledge, right?"
The druid mare remains silent for a while, before answering.
"At the time, I told you it was sort of a vow of humility..." Swamp Lily admits. "The truth… is that I feel like I would be tempted to abandon my responsibilities if I become a giantess. I vowed to myself I would keep the knowledge of my village alive for as long as I could, but your magic will open many other desirable possibilities for me. I wish you would respect my choice, Wizard." She tells you.
You're a bit disappointed, but nod back at her for now. Besides, Swamp Lily still carries the acidsmell of rotting ferns, and her getting giant would probably only make it worst. And at 25 feet, Swamp Lily would be large enough for crocodiles to sneak in her bags…

Butterswirl worked 1 day for Oasis this week.
Canopy Veil Worked 3 days for Oasis this week. She also grew a couple more inches, and now stands at 24 feet even.

Tide Novem has started working on Chaos Theory. She still needs 2 weeks to complete the research.
Sulfury has started working on the bigslayer. She still need 2 weeks to produce the device. She didn't have time to study a countermeasure and wasn't willing to purposely make a fault in the device. The unicorns which examined her plans knew their shit according to her, and she doesn't believe in her chances to fool them.

You're thinking about upgrading your lab to produce more potions again. You're gonna need a bit more work and much more money this time, as you're gonna need custom-made parts, and do a bit of planning to adapt your process to a much greater number of potions. You think this would cost you 8000 bits and 1 week of work to realise. Sulfury could do the work, though.

Swamp Lily studied criticals, fumbles and some way to resist the bigslayer this week. Possible researches have been added to her list.
Available researches for Swamp Lily
>Growing Harmony: 5 weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily understand the universal nature of you craft, and tells you about a ways to spread growth around town more easily. With that upgrade, you mares will be able to duplicate the effects the potion and to gift them to one another willing mare at a time with a simple physical contact. The effects would dissipate after up to one hour unless the contact is renewed.
>Mind Empathy: 2 Weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily thinks this could be a good idea to help your mares adjust to new size. Your potions will let the mares who drink them feel the state of mind of ponies around them, so they can know when ponies around them feel comfortable, scared, or are getting hurt.
>Unbound Growth: 2 weeks to research
For as long as a mare is under the effect of a crit or a fumble, her total size will increase by 10 percent each week instead of growing a couple of inches with Natural Growth.
>Winter's grasp: 1 week to research.
You may cut the price of making a potion in half, but any crit rolled on that potion will become a fumble instead.
>Emergency Adaptation: 1 week to research.
Whenever a mare is hit by the bigslayer, she will shrink to 6 feet instead of undergoing damage. She will then grow back to her regular size over the course of the next 24 hours. Mare will need to have consumed a potion laden with this effect for it to work.
>Study: 1 week to research. 
You can tell Swamp Lily to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

Swamp Lily won't be in town next week.

This week : 5585 bits. -120(meat) -50 (jazz for the soul) - 27 (expanses) - 40(beauty products )- 1200 (potion mk12*2) + 1000 (ingredients from ship) - 200(crew wage/ fuel) – 5000(bathhouse) + 893(income from Velvet Pillow) + 656 (income from Coal Vein)+ 1888(income from Rose) + 1044 (income from Canopy Veil) + 400(income from Butterswirl) + 80 (Nails) +2810(income from show) – 60 (Sulfury's wage) - 284 (Rose's wage) – 214 (Canopy's's wage)- 70 (Butterswirl's wage) -184(Velvet's wage) – 161(Coal's wage) =  6746 bits.

You made two mk 12 potions this week. It took a bit of persuading to get Rose to share some on her miraculous elixir, but your other mares said they'd really like their own pair of milker. Velvet Pillow was especially eager for it.

>What do?

First thing this morning, you decide to have a word with Swamp Lily. You catch the druid mare as she's coming out of her shack.

"Hey. I just want to tell you I'm really impressed by your work. You found a way to counter Sulfury's weapon really fast!"
"It isn't much." The earth mare shakes her head. "I could watch Sulfury working on her device, and she could explain the core of the spell she's using. Besides, I had plenty of time to study."

"Don't sell yourself short. You're really amazing, Swamp Lily. Also, I meant to say you can rest assured I won't try to meddle in your life choices. You're following a wise path, and I can understand the virtue in refusing temptation. But remember I'm always here if you want to talk about anything… or if you change your mind and decide to become a sexy giantess." You wink at her.
"Oh, I did guess you'd let that option open for me." Swamp Lily smiles to you. "But I'm glad you came to accept my position. Thank you, Wizard."

"Also, I have a favor to ask." You say at this point. "Can you start working on the protection for Sulfury's device right away?"
"Well… the security of my friends is at stake." Lily replies "Staying here this week is a meek price to help them against such dangers."

You thank Swamp Lily, and go on with your day.

And after an interlude in marshmallow heaven…

You're not sure who you're gonna give your experimental potion to. Nails said she didn't want any experimental one, so you'd say Velvet Pillow right now. However, you also just thought about taking her out to dancing with the dress Thread left to get to know her a little better, so maybe you can wait a little before growing her.

You also think about sending a potion to Thread Lightly, but once again, sending an experimental brew would probably not be a responsible thing to do. Even if you send that one mk1 potion you've been holding on to, you can imagine many ways this could end up going wrong.
Also, while you really wish for Thread to get bigger, a little voice in your head tells you this might be uncouth in some ways.

What do?

You're gonna have a talk with Velvet, and attempt to get on a date with her to try an understand who she is a little better. With the little you know about her, you suspect she might have some insecurities about who she is, given how shy she was about transforming in front of other ponies. Talking to Rose might also help to see a little clearer in through this pony.
So in the end you ask the changeling if she's alright with going on a dance with you before you give her the potion, or if she want it the other way around. Once you offer her the opportunity to wear Thread's dress, she accepts to wait until tonight to increase her size, after the two of you go out.

Now, since you'll be giving a round of potion to everypony once Swamp's upgrade to protect against the bigslayer will be ready, you're gonna experiment on Butterswirl some more this time.

"Gee, one more for me, Wizard?" She winks. "I wonder what's gonna happen this time…"
Butterswirl drinks the potion, and her already humongous body starts to grow once more.

But almost immediatly, her body start to shine, and the whole world start to wobble around you. Before you know it, you're engulfed by a blast of light coming from Butterswirl's body, and then feel yourself tumble through an abstract blend of colors.

But all of a sudden, you're inside the common room again, sitting on a chair. Startled, you look around you. Coal Vein is idly sitting on the couch, and Rose is enjoying a mug of coffee not far from you. And in fact, there's a half-full cup of coffee in front of you too.
There's a nagging feeling in you mind right now. As though this place was… different. There's all the furniture and dishes alright, but somehow they all feel slightly misplaced. Yet you can't pinpoint what really is abnormal in here. This is confusing you right now.

You also see your recording device, showing the result of a potion. And… It seems like it's the potion you just gave Butterswirl, and it struck two criticals! There's a bunch of growth effect too. But there's definitely no new fumble on that record…

So… where's the blue pony?

>What do?

You attempt to communicate with Butterswril through the link… but it's gone! You feel nothing connecting your minds anymore. You think you could be in some sort of dream or mind experience for a second, but the world looks definitely real around you.

"What's wrong stud?" Rose asks you, worried. "You look troubled."
"Did either did either of you two see what happened to Butterswirl?" You ask the two mares in a panic "Or were you blinded as well?

"Butterwho?" Coal Vein asks.
"What do mean blinded?" Rose looks confused. "And who's Butterswirl? Is she a new hire?"

>What do?

"Wait, you really don't remember Butterswirl?" Both mares shake her heads. "This must be a side effect from one or both of the criticals. Well, can you help me search for her?"
"Sure, we'll help." Rose answer. "But who is she?"
"For now, all you have to know is that she's big, blue, has a set of matching dragon wings and tail, as well as… a very interesting mane do."
"Sounds like somepony we'd have remembered if we saw her." Coal Vein says, but she still stands up and goes outside to search for the pony you described, Rose coming with her.

You go fetch Tide Novem, but she isn't able to provide any more information on Butterswirl.

Frustrated, you bolt outside, and once again everything is as real as it can get. Ponies go on with their life in Klugetown, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. After a walk in town, you do notice some ponies showing a more… eccentric look. With mane and coat dyed in neon colors, and even some of them having… oddities about their bodies. Maybe one in twenty ponies is like that. You've seen a unicorn mare with a fish tail, an earth stallion who looked like his body was made of living steal, eyes included, an earth mare with four pairs of legs, and one without legs at all, having the body of a huge snake instead.

While these strange ponies seem to gather a few looks, they do not look shunned by the rest of the ponies, and they don't look any sadder than the rest of Klugetown's populace.

This does remind you a little about Butterswirl, but none of these ponies is her.

>What do?

After a quick dash back to your estate, you check Butterswirl's room, and it is completely empty, and so is the place she had before moving upstairs. You also go visit Canopy in her room. The chocolate mare watches you with a confused look as you look at the photos in here. You remember you saw pictures where Canopy was with Butterswirl at Oasis, but these are completely gone. There's different photos instead, as though Butterswirl was never here in the first place.
It seems like all trace of her past have been erased. At least, the part when she was with you...

The rest of your mares look just like they're supposed to. When you ask her, Canopy tells you the strange looking ponies have been around for as long as she can remember, even though they seem to change into other weird things over time.

More and more worried, you decide to confront one of those weird ponies you saw outside. You manage to find the snake-mare again.
"Excuse-me, miss?" You can the legless pony.
"Uhm?" She turns to you.
"Well, if you don't mind me asking, have you always been… like this, or have you been modified at someplace?"
"Silly pony!" The snake mare boops your nose with the tip of her tail, an excited smile on her face. She seems happy you're interested in her unusual body. "Ponies aren't born like this, don't you know that? But to answer your question, yes, I was a boring regular pony in the past, but now I got to experience life from another perspective thanks to the twin goddesses of change! I can't wait until I get a new form…"
"The g-godesses of change?" You stutter.

"Yes! There's an altar dedicated to them in Klugetown. Speaking of which… you're that Growth Wizard guy, aren't you?" The snake mare beams again "That's awesome! I wonder how being huge feels like? But now I also wonder why nopony has tried your potions until now…" The gets thoughtful for a moment, but soon grins at you again. "Eh, who cares! I think I'm gonna bring you some new customers, if you're willing to have them of course!"

>What do?

At this moment, how powerful the effect you struck dawned upon you. Somehow you made a goddess our of Butterswirl, and apparently rewrote history itself to fit that reality. You may even be in some sort of parallel universe right now.
To think your final spell will allow you control such power…

You keep these thoughts in mind, but answer the snake mare right now.
"Well, yes, of course I'll accept all the requests I can!" You declare. "But my magic only affects mares, just so you know… But can I ask you something? I've somehow never heard of the twin goddesses before, could you tell me what you know of them?"

"Ah, it's no biggie if you don't know. I'll tell you everything you want! Besides, the twin goddesses are very young. Only a little over their twenties. We have people older than our goddesses among us! How cool is that?"
"Hum…"
"Nopony knows what is their origin." The mare explains "But they've been watching over the world since their beginning, and they've been listening to the please of ponies who wish to change their lives over! I know my transformation may look… looney, and not very spiritual, but really this is about learning to enjoy even the most unexpected things in the world, and live happier with them!"

"Alright… then, can you bring me to the altar you talked about?"
The snake pony accepts, and you accompany her to the place of worship of your former employee. The place isn't very rich, and small, but clean and comfortable. The ground is covered with pillows of every color, while bright blue veils adorn the walls, decorated with Butterswirl's cutie mark… which visibly became the emblem of this cult. The ponies here warmly welcome you too, and they look excited to see a new face.

If you still had doubts, the twin wooden statues at the back of the little sanctuary are representations of Butterswirl. They do look a bit different, as one has goat horns, while the other has feathers on her wings and tail, but beside a few other details, the two smiling statues are definitely Butterswirl. 

You approach, and start to pray.
"Butterswirl" You start in you mind. "It's me, Growth Wizard. I'm confused right now. All I remember is that you drank this potion, and then you weren't here anymore. Instead, now I'm hearing you are Godesses. Please… I just want to ask you… Will you come back?"

As you finish your prayer, you feel a strange shake in the world. You dimly hear the other butter-cultist let out exclamations behind you, but they already sound far away. The room around seem to expand endlessly, the blue fabric becoming an endless sky above you.

And before you realize it, a giant hoof scoops you up to press you again a warm surface covered in blue fur… and then another one comes to pin you between two blue mountains.

Not one… but two Butterswirls and holding you between their soft cheeks, ecstatic grins on both their faces. They're both gigantic! If physical size has any sense where you are, they're both 223 feet and 9 inches tall, and you're barely an insect to them. But still, you're handled with care, and only feel a pleasant contact as you're squished between the two goddesses' faces.

"Oh, Wizard! We're so glad!" One of them exclaims, her voice filling the whole space around you, but without hurting your ears somehow.
"We had come to think everything was just a dream." The other adds. "But after all these years… you're here! You're real Wizard!"
"You can't imagine how happy that makes us right now!"

>What do?

There's a flurry of questions and emotions swirling inside you right now, but they're all soothed by the touch of the two giant goddesses. You can only hug a small part of their faces. But you're glad to meet them again, and to see them so gigantic.
"I'm sorry Swirl…" You eventually let out. "How long have you been waiting for me? And how did you become a goddess during that time?"

"Don't be sorry, Wizard. We're fine!" One Butterswirl shows you a cocky grin after getting you to stand on one of her hooves. Its surface could contain half of a room of your estate. "Or are you saying we don't look fine?"
Well they do look perfectly fine and happy, especially with the two-times-two building-sized flanks the Butterswirl proudly sport on their body. That's really looking fine. You also notice both blue mares look exactly like they were when they drank your potion, rather than like the statues at the altar.

"Also, we've been like this since we drank your potion." The other Butterswirl explains. "It's so far away now, twenty-one years ago, but we already remembered everything from… well, I guess we can call it a previous life now. We were very confused at first, but at the same time we knew we weren't mortals anymore, and we had both the power to influence the world and help ponies, but also be whatever we wished to!"

"We couldn't find you or anypony else, Wizard, and eventually we realized we were back at the time where we would have been born during our previous existence. So we've been striving to help ponies explore new ways since then. We've reached a point where hearing their prayers from all around equestrian makes us always busy! There's really something, and eventually we casted the past aside…"
"We've also been meddling with them at times. That's the funniest part in my opinion! We usually can't stay for long in the physical plane, but it's always a blast! Especially since we've been getting more powerful over the years. I think we could stay one whole day of each week with you, Wizard!"

"And I think it's thanks to your last potion." Butterswirl winks. "We were pretty huge to begin with, but we've been growing a couple inches with every passing week, and so did our magic."

That's a lot to take in.  But you're glad Butterswirl is happy as she is. Both of them. But still, you worry about what kind of relationship you can have with them. They do look like they enjoy what they're currently doing, so working for you in the strictest sense is probably a thing of the past.

"So…What do we do now?" You ask.
"Well…" The Butterswirls don't look like they thought about this yet. "I guess we can be together again! If you're here… that means Rose, Canopy, Velvet, Tide and Coal Vein are with you, right?"
"They are, but they don't remember you…" You tell the twin godesses.
"That's no big deal for us!" Butterswirl grins. "Next time you see them, we'll make sure to pass on the memories we have with them. That's something we can do!"

"Also… Do you want to rebuild the link we had with your mind?" Butterswirl asks. "Just to warn you, it's probably gonna be a bit different since we're goddesses now. If you're linked with us, you'll start being a little more than an average pony yourself. You're still gonna be able to live normally of course, but your magic will change, and our power may affect everything around you without you noticing."
"So I'm gonna get a tittle now?" You chuckle. "The godmaker Growth Wizard?"
"Well you can be our high priest if you want!" Butterswirl grins. "If we're connected, you can be certain our followers will recognize you as such!"

>What do?

"Of course I want to rebuild the link!" You answer. "Having that with you felt so intimate and dear. It's been only a few hours, but I was missing you already."
"We've missed you too, Wizard." One goddess speaks, while there's a bitter-sweet smile on both their faces

"But I do want to know how it's gonna change me first, if you don't mind." You say. "What do you mean by… more than the average pony?"
"Well, your magic's gonna be a tad stronger first." Butterswirl says. "And so will your body. Probably much less noticeably, though. You're gonna be blessed-by-two goddesses kind of different. Maybe not a superhero yet, but you definitely aim for that if you work for it a little."
"Also, we're the goddesses of change. You better be ready for your transforming potions to pack a lot more punch from now on! And maybe to get a little random too. And so will your magic. But I swear we'd never have something straight harmful come from our influence."
"And finally, our followers will recognize you. They'll know who you are, and we will see and hear them through you. You'll always be able to find a helping hoof, or paw, or… any helping appendage from them."

"Wait, isn't that gonna be dangerous?" You ask. "I mean, Goldfeather still considers me as a target. I wouldn’t want your followers to get in trouble because of me. I'm a little surprise he let them make an altar in your honor in Klugetown in the first place actually."
"Goldfeather? Oh, right. I forgot about him. We heard you there, but we're not only in Klugetown anymore." Butterswirl says. "So about him… He didn't cause any trouble for us until now. Maybe he thinks we and our followers are harmless. Which we are! We're not telling anypony to be a fanatic and fight in our name or anything."
"But if he tries to attack our followers or you…" The other Butterswirl adds "You can be sure he'll hear about us! We've never been really angry before, and we'd rather not hurt anypony, not even that mayor… but the wrath of goddesses will fall upon him should he be foolish enough to do something really mean to you or our friends!"

"So… would I have duties as a high priest? I mean, beyond the privilege of getting to work for two astonishingly beautiful goddesses "
"Hum…" One Butterswirl ponders, while the other blushes and let out a cute giggle. "Just make sure you're nice to everypony and encourage them to change for themselves for the better!"
"And also keep growing more mares bigger! That'll do for a herald of change!" The other adds.

You chuckle. This is so surreal. And at the same time…
"So… I won't get to see you often from now on I suppose. Sorry, that probably comes off as selfish now you have such responsibilities, but I'm gonna miss having you around."

"Don't underestimate us, Wizard." They both smile at you.
"We'll always be at your side in ways you wouldn't expect. You can trust us on that!"

"So… are you ready to connect with us once more?" Butterswirl asks.

>What do?

"Before that, I want to make sure you're gonna have have Thread Lightly remember you again. I can't wait to hear how she'll react."
"Hum!" Both Butterswirls nods. "You can count on that!"

"Also, if connecting to you is gonna be anything like last time, I don't think I'm ready for it. But do it anyway!" You say.
"Nah." One Butterswirl shakes her head. "We'll do it the soft way."

And then, both Butterswirl's titanic faces comes closer to you as they lean to kiss you whole body.
You find yourself sandwiched between the two biggest and softest pairs of lips in the history of ponykind. Both Butterswirls might as well be making out with each other with how small you are. You feel their warm mouths all over you, and you do your best to kiss and hug them back.

But at the same time, you feel something making its way inside your mind. Like a warm feeling which then spreads to your whole body. The power of change runs through your veins, and you can already tell our next spell and potions will be a blast. You even dimly feel the masses of ponies worshiping the goddesses of change all over Equestria. It's like you're getting a glance of something beyond your own existence here. 

But most importantly, as the two goddesses let go of you, you can feel how glad they are to see you again. Despite everything they said, the life of a deity is rather lonely, and they're both relieved to have somepony to connect with on a more normal level again. 

"This is awesome!" Butterswirl says, whipping a fleeting tear from her cheek. "We're together again. So… Do you want to do anything special before we send you back home?"

>What do?

"That depends." You give the two goddesses a sly smile "When you say special, do you mean what I think you mean?"
"We've missed you for too long." One of them answers. "We can have some quality time together!"
"And it's been so long it's just been the two of us..." The other whispers over you.

You smile at them. They're both magnificent. Pillars of beauty in front of you. You're already standing on one of their hooves, so you decide to lie down and embrace the deliciously taut and sleek skin of the giantesses' frog. The normally tiny expanse is large enough to be a king-sized mattress for you, while the wall of her hoof reaches as high as your knees.

And still, both these goddesses are going to grow even bigger. While you can't get enough of the soft and slightly elastic feeling of her under hoof, you transmit to both Butterswirl all the admiration, all the devotion you have to them. How much you love every part of them, and how lucky you feel, measly mortal, to interact with such grand beings. Every touch from her body is a divine blessing. Simply thinking about their cavernous mouth, their titanic rears, their awe-inspiring tits and sex makes the blood rush to your head.

And that feeling is shared with the two godly giantesses, which in turn, start to slowly grow even more gigantic.

"Ah… you're still not satisfied with our size yet, Wizard?" Butterswirl teasingly asks you.
"How big will be big enough? 300 hundred feet? A mile tall? When we're huge enough to blot out the sun over all Equestrian? 
"Oh, wouldn't that be the greatest thing..." Butterswirl giggles seductively. "Just imagine everypony's face when they see the four new moons! But I just think Wizard will be content to just know we keep growing forever. Always bigger, always more powerful, so there's always more of us for him to worship!"

The other Butterswirl joins her hooves with her twin, sandwiching you between the two soft parts of their hooves, the wall providing just enough place for you to breathe.
Meanwhile, the two goddesses decide to join the fun, kissing each other passionately, while their meaty tail come to tease each other's sensible bits.

You're still imprisoned in between two gigantic frogs, while both Butterswirls are about 250 feet in height each. As the heat rises for the three of you, you find yourself rolling between their hooves as both Butterswirls start to push on each other more aggressively, rubbing their bodies while their kiss, and their tits start tingling deliciously as they press together.

One of them decides to take in up a notch, and starts to use her tail to masturbate furiously. She grows faster than her twin, and manages to push her down on her back, lying atop her with her 300 feet frame. The smaller Butterswirl let out a surprised moan under the weight of countless tons of pony, probably half of which are tons of pony butt. You're now only in the biggest mare's hoof anymore.

"Looks like you're mine, Wizard!" The bigger Swirl says, licking her lips in anticipation, as she hangs you in front of her gargantuan face.
While both goddesses start to make out again, you're brought around Butterswirl's massive flanks, then into her cavernous snatch. Her hoof immediately brings you inside, and you splash into the already ankle-deep flooded cave of Butterswirl. There's more than enough room for you to navigate inside here, but the smell of the mare's arousal is almost suffocating. 

The walls pulse along the titaness' accelerating heartbeat. You light-headedly start to walk in deeper, sometimes stopping to hump a particularly sensitive protrusion of Butterswirl's folds, her hot walls at times clamping strongly on your whole body, threatening to drown you in Butterswirl's juices.

The three of you soon reach climax, and you're squeezed by the powerful muscles of inside Butterswirl's vagina while the two goddesses moan in absolute delight.
After a few seconds, a river of Butterswirl's fluids wash you out of her sex, and you manage to nest yourself in a safe spot between the immense and soft thighs of Butterswirl, who still pants dreamily while hugging her twin.

>What do?

With the link you have with them, you know for sure you all climaxed this time too, and both goddesses are bathing in the afterglow right now.

You start to crawl between Butterswirl's monstrous thighs, squeezing yourself through the warm expanse of fat and muscles of the blue mare. Your still half erect shaft gets massaged as you travel, rubbing again the giantess' flesh.
It takes you a minute to cross the thighs, leaving you panting, and flustered, but now the hills that are Butterswirl's tits are finally in view.

You allow yourself to ger caught between the wondrous balloons of flesh, so soft and supple. You can feel that these are filled with delicious milk as you travel through.
Quickly, you make it to the teats. The dark protrusions are as large as you are, and both giantesses are pressing their mammaries against each other, so you can have access to both their milk supplies.

You use your whole body to massage the giant teat and get some milk out, but you tire yourself really fast, and not even a drop comes out of the gargantuan bud of flesh.
"Need a hoof, Wizard?" You hear one Butterswirl, and then the world shifts around you and two pairs of giant hooves come to squeeze the Butterswirls' mammries. In no time, much more milk than you can handle erupts from both breasts, covering you completely in the stuff. You manage to drink from the powerful fountains, filling your mouth with a taste of cream, blueberry, mint and candy. It surprises you, but the milk fizzles slightly on your tongue. This is definitely not what you expected for milk, but you eagerly drink the divine brew, tugging gently at both teats for a couple of minutes.

When you're satisfied, you climb back on the top of the giant and soft balloon that is Butterswirl's right tit, then lie down to rest of the most comfortable place in the world.
For a second here, you think about declaring high and loud your love of for Butterswirl, but somewhat, something holds you back. You're not even sure what. But still, your feelings are shared, and both Butterswirl share how much they care about you, flooding your mind with how much they love you.

After a while of basking in these warm feelings, you speak up again, as there's some questions you need to ask.
"You're way more open to sex than last time, Butterswirl." You let out in a dreamy huff. "Is there something I'm missing?"
"You think so?" The Butterswirl you're standing on ponders.
"I guess being all-powerful makes you less self-conscious!" The other chuckles. "And we finally got you back, Wizard. We are just so happy to show you how much we love you once more!"

"Thanks…" You smile to them "I wish we could go back to the physical world together. Do you know how you could achieve that? I mean, not just for one day a week, but all the time."
"Mmmh…" Butterswirl pouts. "Not really. We're not sure how this actually works. We have the example of the Widow… but obviously, if there's a ritual, it has to be a lot different."
"We do know getting more powerful allows us to affect the physical world just as much." The other adds. "So, do we need more followers? Once again, we're not sure. Everything seemed to happen naturally as we grew over the years."

"So… how will I know when I'll be able to see you down there?"
"We'll still be in contact, silly!" Butterswirl winks.
"We will visit you when we feel the time is right, but you'll be able to call us any time you want, and we can come for a few minutes here and there."
"And besides, we can bring you here whenever you come to our shrine. And all our friends can come too!"

"Thank you, Butterswirl…" You tell the two goddesses. "Also, I was wondering. I've seen your altar in Klugetown and you both looked different back there. Did you… turn back into what you looked then because of me?"
"Well… Sorta!" Butterswirl smiles. "We change our appearance pretty often, but when we felt your prayer, the memories flooded back into us, and we wanted to make sure you'd recognize us."

"But wasn't that… 21 years ago from your perspective?" You give them a worried look? "Please Butterswirl, do not stop yourself from changing because of little me."
"Hey there, Wizard." Butterswirl gives you a mischievous pout. "Don't you start patronizing us now. We're goddesses! We could have you spend the next 100 years as our seat warmer if you get insolent!"
"But that's a reward for him, right?" The other Butterswirl says.

"Hum…" Butterswirl ponders. "Right… But the point is, don't you worry about us. We'll look different next time we meet. And you don't need to tell us how to go on with things anymore, Wizard. We can take care of ourselves, and also of our followers!"
"Next time?" You tilt your head. "Why not change right now?"
"Where would be the fun in that?" Butterswirl chuckles. "We have to surprise you with our next look!"

>What do?

"Hey, I'm pretty powerful myself, so don't get cocky!" You start to brag, hoping the aforementioned punishment might come on the table again. "I made you goddesses, so I can make you mares again! If I can have you drink one of my potions…"
"Alright here, mister tiny Wizard." Both Butterswirl show you a devilish smile. "Perhaps you need to learn your place a little!" 
A massive hoof comes to boop you, and you feel a powerful burst of magic run through your face. After shaking the tingling away, you realize your horn turned in to a big wet noodle. You feel thoroughly incapable of using magic right now.

"Naughty Wizard." Butterswirl says. "Don't you think being a prick will get you stepped or sat on! Instead, how about you get known as the noodle wizard for a month?"
"Uhm… Well I also planned to find ways to grow you even bigger, and also to hire some of your followers and grow them too!" You plead to the offended godesses with a tense grin. "I need my horn for that…"
"Yes… That's more like it, puny Wizard." You're booped again, and your horn returns to normal.
"Maybe we should act a little more like Maafah after all." The other Butterswirl feigns to consider with a chuckle. "You'd never dare to talk to her like that, would you?"

"Also, can I ask you if I should think of you as two twins, or one pony sharing two bodies?" You ask.
"Well, we've been connected like we are with you for over 20 years, we hear the prayers of our followers together, and we share all our experiences from before, so… we're not exactly one pony, but we're definitely very close to each other!"

"Then is it alright if only one of you visits at a time? That way we'd get to see each other more often."
"Humm…" Butterswirl ponders. "It depends. If you just want to talk, sure, one of us is enough. But it's to have some fun, none of us is gonna like being left out!"

If you have no more question, it may be time to ask Butterswirl to bring you back. This endless expense of blues feels nice enough, but there's still no place like home, and there's several other mares you need to talk with. Maybe another goddess too…

>What do?

"So… Can I call you Butterswirl 1 and Buttterswirl 2?"
"Huh… No." Both goddesses frown. "I mean, these are super lame names."
"How about Goddess Butterswirl and Butterswirl the miraculous instead?"
"Oooh!" The other Butterswirl gets excited. "Can I be the miraculous one?"

"And how about Butter and Swirls?" You offer.
"Hmm…" Butter says while they both ponders. "Why not. But it would be nice if you could use some revering names too from time to times!"
"After all the prayer from our followers, I really like when they call me the goddess of change!" Swirls nods to herself.

"Alright." You chuckle. "I'll try to remember that. Also, I think it's time I went back to the real world. I have some more mares to take care about."
"Sure thing!" Swirls says. "We'll bring you right back to your estate!"
"One last thing!" You say. "Is there some of your followers you think I should hire in particular?"
"Hummm…" Butter says, but then shakes her head "Nope. You're gonna have to let them decide and come to you by themselves!"
"Alright." You nod. "Then let's go back."

Both goddesses close their eyes, and once again you feel yourself sink in a spiral of colors. Before you know it, you're standing inside your lab.
There, you feel some movement on your head, and realize a couple of 6 inches Butterswirls are inhabiting your hat again.
"Told you we'd find a way!" Butter smiles at your surprise. "Now, we won't be here physically all the time, but it you're searching for us, just look inside your hat!"
"Now, let's remind everypony of the time we spent together!" Swirls declares.

And you do just that. All your mares are at your estate at this instant, and Butterswirl only has to place a hoof on their forehead for the memories of their past come back to them. They're all surprised, and confused even, but they're happy to find a friend they forgot they had. As she did for you, the two little Butter and Swirls have to explain what happened to her all this time to the rest of their friends.
Only Thread and Maafah do not know about their past with Butterswirl yet, you reckon. Butterswirl said she's find a way to reach Thread by herself, though.

After getting a hug from everypony again, Butter and Swirls disappear inside your hat for now.

>What do?

You're conflicted about writing to Thread Lightly again. You feel like the most sensible thing to do would be to stick to comfortable news and nice things, but you'd really love to ask her if she wants to grow some more. Asking won't do any harm, right?
You have all of next week to decide if you write to her and about what anyway.

Also, before you go out with Velvet Pillow, you decide to have a chat with Swamp Lily. The mare is currently in her shack, so you pay her a visit.

"Hey. I'm not interrupting anything?" You greet her.
"Oh…" She jumps slightly. "No, it's alright. I was still coming to term with the fact you made a goddess out of a pony with your potion. I am going to repeat myself, but your magic is far more powerful than I initially imagined, Wizard."
"Yeah, that happened…" You scratch the back of your head. You still have trouble believing it yourself. "But anyway, that's not why I came to you. I'll get straight to the point. I wanted to ask you if you had any plan to restore the communities that used to exist in the wetlands. You're sort of a last-of-your-kind type, aren't you? I think it would be tragic if these traditions were to die out. Do you have any… plan about that?"

"I… don't know." Swamp Lily answer, disturbed. "I never envisioned myself as a preacher. I realize it may sound contradictory to keep traditions alive without wanting more ponies to embrace them, but I feel like it is not my call to enjoin ponies into a certain choice of life."

"Hmm. I think I get your point." You nod "Anyway, I just want to ask you if there's something I could do to help you in the long term. What do you think?"
"I doubt you can help, Wizard." She chuckles. "No offence, but I fail to see how being a giantess will change a thing to my situation. Unless… You ever manage to reproduce the miracle you gave Butterswirl I suppose. In that case, we would travel to a world where I would have a community around me."

Swamp Lily remain silent for a moment.
"But that has little that has little to no chance to happen. Still, I thank you for your support, Wizard." She smiles at you. "It has been a long time I had somepony cared for my well-being."

>What do?

"After all, you've done for me and our friends, that's only a natural thing for me to return some of what I owe you."
And on these words, and despite the certain presence of critters in the mare's form, you lean in to hug Swamp Lily. The smaller mare shudders at you your touch, but then clams her hooves around your midsection in return. Her hold is surprisingly strong, and you don't think you could push her away unless she let you. She nests her head under your neck, burrowing you muzzle in her fluffy mane.

You do your best to keep the hug as long as Swamp Lily holds you despite the acid smell she bears. You almost scream when you feel something crawling inside your nostrils, but decide to stay strong and convince yourself this and all the itchy spots you feel are just your imagination.

After what feels like ages, Swamp Lily finally let go of you. She breathes out slowly, and you're almost sure you see the faintest hint of a blush on her smiling face.

"Anyway, think about it, okay?" You smile to Swamp Lily, despite the intense need for a shower you currently feel. "Maybe your home just has a bad reputation that keeps new ponies away from it, but that isn't set in stone... Or maybe you could start a family out there, or run your own branch of Oasis, and the foals and volunteers who decided to stay could become your family instead. Maybe my ideas are dumb and there's a better one you'll think of. But you're too good and wise a mare to hide yourself from the world."
"Hum." Swamp Lily nods. "You're right. I may have wallowed in my own solitude for too long, but right now I feel like searching a way to move forward again."

"Also, maybe it will happen again. The magic which made Butterswirl a goddess." You give her a cheeky smile. "With Tide Novem's research, we may produce more crits in the future."
"Be careful what you wish for, Wizard." Swamp says. "As a goddess, I may become beautiful and terrible as the dawn. You didn't want my influence in your estate, so over this whole world…" She chuckles.

>What do?

"Hmm... Something about that doesn't sound too bad. I do like the beautiful part, but you seem to fit that description already."
"Would you stop that, please?" Swamp Lily says, but she's smiling, and the blush on her face is clearly visible now. "You won't make me believe I'm a beauty queen. We don't need to give each other fake compliments to say we appreciate each other."

"Then how about this. Terrible as a goddess? Give yourself some credit. Butterswirl hardly enacted a transformative reign of terror on everyone. She seems to have been a responsible god for the past 20 years, and I'd trust you to do the same in a heartbeat. I mean that. And besides the world needs critters and marshes as much as it needs giant mares."
Swamp Lily only let out a small chuckle in response. She seems deeply flustered by your words.

So in silence, you hold your breath and move to embrace her again. The druid mare returns the hug softly this time, and you do your best to not make it awkward.
"We're testing the new bathhouse next weekend." You tell Swamp Lily as you break the embrace. "Can we hope to see you there for a nice hot bath?"
"Hum" The swamp mare nods meekly "Okay."

Since that's agreed, you decide to leave the druid mare alone, and go take a thorough cleaning shower.
You're shining like a nickel when you come out of the bathroom.

>What do?

You think you're ready to go out with Velvet Pillow. She'll get the potion later, you two agreed. Velvet had already accepted to wear the dress, and puts it on very carefully before your eyes. She a bit larger than Thread when she made this, so it's a tiny bit tight, but overall, she looks great in the green garment.

"Oh, thank you so much, Wizard!" She coos. "I feel like a princess going to the ball tonight! And you're the prince of the story, Wizard!" She says, planting a quick peck on your forehead.

Now, you'll have to decide where to take your mare out. There's some rather cheap places to go dancing in Klugetown, where miners bring their wives to waltz under the moonlight. Then, there's a few clubs in the style of the Manehattan where you can have fun. These places are rather shady though, and drugs are commonly traded there for some bits to spice up the night. And then, there's private parties organized by the wealthiest ponies. Velvet certainly wouldn't look out of place there, and even though the entry would cost you a handsome amount of bits, Rose pretty much normalized the presence of giant mares in these kinds of gathering.

>What do?

You'll be busy in the upcoming week, so you might as well go for the fanciest. For 300 bits and on Rose's recommendation, you bring Velvet Pillow to a private hotel called the Diamond Skies. The marble building it situated on the higher levels of Klugetown, and there's a breathtaking view on the sea of cloud from every window of the rich establishment.

The halls inside are immense, and so is the main room for the party. There a medium orchestra clad in suits, playing classical music. There's many noble-looking ponies in rich garment in here, mostly talking together, but the mood seem light-hearted enough. There's also a very large buffet with delicacies from equestrian and beyond.

Only a few couples are dancing right now.

"Aww, isn't it nice to see ponies having fun together?" Velvet says. "But I think it would be even better if they decide to share love with each other!"
On there words, you notice a pink glimmer in the changeling's eyes, and almost immediately you feel her magic hit you, no concentrating on Velvet especially, but you start to feel like every single mare in here looks absolutely stunning, even at their boring normal size.

With Butterswirl's help, though, you can remain aware of what's happening, and still have a hold over your actions even under Velvet's spell. It's clear you're not the only one affected too, as you start to hear stallion getting bolder with their compliments to the mares, and these being readier to accept them.

>What do?

You consider letting this party turn in a giant orgy, but decide to nudge on Velvet's hoof.
"Velvet, stop your spell!" You whisper to her. "We can't meddle in other ponies' business like that!"
"What?" Velvet looks appalled by your words. "But… they'll be happier that way, I promise! All the ponies I know have always been better off when they learned to share their love some more. Ponies are made for loving each other, Wizard!"
"We can't influence ponies to act a certain way!" You stand your ground. "What about the couples in here? Just stop!"

The changeling looks immensely disappointed, but you feel her influence over you fade away. The rest of the ponies turn back to normal again too, and awkward apologies replace flirty comments.
"But why are we here if it's not to spread love, Wizard?" Velvet pleads. "You've been sharing with almost everypony at the estate, why don't you want other ponies to be as happy as you are?"

>What do?

You find a seat a little away to discuss with the huge changeling.
"This is a matter on consent Velvet Pillow." You tell the changeling. "I would never spike a mare's drink with growth potion!"
"But you want to make every mare in the world a sexy giantess, don't you Wizard?"

"But ponies need to discover that on their own, just like love, and you have to respect that." You answer. "If you push them to fall in love faster, they'll feel uncomfortable once they realize the reason they got infatuated. And you might even break the trust monogamous ponies have with each other, thus ending their love!"
"But It'll also make so many more ponies happier!" Velvet retorts. "Some ponies are so stuck up with conventions they'll never realize how much happier they could be if somepony else doesn't show them! I've seen it happen everyday with my customers. And do you have an idea about how miserable changelings were before they were forced to change?"

"Forced?" You scowl. "I heard you decided to reject Chrysalis o your own."
"We did, but look how long it took, how critical and insane the situation had to get for things to change! I have a way to speed things up, so I won't let ponies miss on the better, love-filled life they could have together. The good outweighs the bad, Wizard! I'm doing a good thing! And besides…" Her faces comes closer to yours a seductive smile on their face.
"… You can't tell me it doesn't appeal to you. Come on. A world where everypony's open minded about love, where mares are confident around stallions. Where all of them would love to be icons for stallions to worship. Can you picture it, Wizard? Both our dream worlds, together?"

>What do?

"Of course it's tempting, but deep down I know it's just a fantasy. Society couldn't function if ponies were screwing each other all day!" You attempt a smile. "And besides, there's a deeper trust that goes with love which I think is wonderful, and which would definitely go down the drain in the world you describe."
Velvet remains silent. It main be because she's not sure what you're talking about.

"Anyway, you won't achieve anything without the ponies' consent." You shake you head. "Persuade them honestly by demonstrating the merits of your worldview. No mind control. Ponies don't do mind control."
"But it's not… mind control!" Velvet responds "You could say no to me. I just influence them a little. It's like using some nice perfume, or wearing a lovely dress. That'll convince better, but is looking nice or accompanying your words with a gift mind control too?"

"This is not just a nice dress." You retort. "More like… alcohol. A lot of ponies end up regretting what they did after a night of heavy drinking. Not like the customers who purposely sought you out of course! Like I said, you have to convince them without altering their perception. What's next? Are you also gonna make yourself the queen of changeling?"

"What?!" Velvet looks choked by your last question. "Why would I… This is not what I'm looking for! Alright, Wizard, you know what? I give up. Why don't you just go home? I'm gonna have this party go my way. I'm gonna… demonstrate the merits of my worldview. By practice! Just go away if you don't like it that way."
Velvet Pillow crosses her front hooves together. She looks more sad than angry, though.

>What do?

"W-wait. I'm sorry Velvet. I should not have said that. I don't know what went through me. I take that back. I'm… sorry."
Velvet Pillow remains silent in response.

"I just don't want you to make the same mistake I did. I made a mare 50 feet tall in the past all of a sudden, and that got me kicked out of town."
"Is that true?" Velvet asks, sounding interested.
"Yeah, she destroyed some buildings, and got called an evil mare. I could never remain in that town after that."

Once again, the changeling falls silent. You both sit next to each other for some more time.
"You know, how about we start small?" You offer. "Let's set up two ponies up instead. I'll be the wingpony while you play cupid. And let's do it without magic! How does that sound?"

Velvet shows you a timid smile in response, and then she stands up.
"Nah. I just feel like turning in for the night now. I need to think things through. Maybe another time, though. And sorry about… eh, I wore that dress from Thread Lightly, but this evening wasn't as romantic as you expected, was it?"

>What do?

"Alright." You say as you follow the changeling. "But later in the week we should go out and have fun together finding creative ways of matchmaking people without using magic."
"You know, Wizard…" Velvet smiles to you. "That actually sounds like fun. I look forward to it!"

And with that, the two of return to your estate. And against all odd, you didn't have sex.
This time…

And that's it for this week. As always, feel free to post any discussion, feedback or suggestion. See you next time!

You have 6856 bits available.

You still have one mk12 and one mk1 potion.
Tide Novem has started working on Chaos Theory. She still needs 2 weeks to complete the research.
Sulfury has started working on the bigslayer. She still needs 2 weeks to produce the device.
Swamp Lily will research Emergency Adaptation this week. (mares hit by the bigslayer will shrink to 6 feet for some time instead of being harmed.)

Nails will finish building a bathhouse next week.
Offers currently on the table:
For 1000 bits: Nails will remove the first floor in your estate in all rooms in 1 week.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.
For 6000 bits: Nails will build a sanctuary according to Maafah's demands in 1 week. It can be within your estate or anywhere else.
For 2000 bits each Nails may add a hot bath, a jacuzzi, and/or a sauna to your bathhouse in 1 week. All three can be purchased at the same time.
For 8000 bits, and 1 week of work from you or Sulfury, you may upgrade your lab to produce up to 10 potion a week.

Offers-you-can't-refuse currently on the table:
Mayor Goldfeather demands you provide him with a way to neutralize a big mare anypony could use. You have 3 more weeks left to provide the device Sulfury promised. You will be banned from Klugetown if you fail.



What a strange week.
Travelling to another reality is really messing with you. And despite the training with Coal Vein, your sleep is agitated this week, and you wake up in a panic several times, persuaded something is wrong in your surroundings.
Luckily, the reassuring gentle touch of the twin Butterswirls often comes to appease your mind.

Speaking of which, some of her followers come to your estate over the week. You have five new mares, ready to join your business. None of them are here to whore themselves out, though. They each have their own source of income they would accept to give you instead.

Ribbons. (13’ 8’’)
The snake mare is the first to return to you. Her body’s almost 14 feet long, but her head is proportioned like the one of an average mare. You reckon her size would be average as a pony.

You’re a bit surprised at first, as unlike the first you met her, Ribbons speaks to you with a deference fueled by genuinely admiration. That’s probably what Butter and Swirl meant when they talked about her followers recognizing you.

Anyway, Ribbons work at the sky harbor as a logistician. She has to find spots on airship for merchandise that has to leave and same what arrives from the ships. It’s not a thrilling job, but it makes for a decent living.

The snake mare remains polite as you talk to her, so you don’t learn much about her personality. And so does the rest of Butterswirl’s cultists, probably because of this high priest thing.

Whistlewind (3’8’’)
A Pegasus comes on the second day, slowly flying down in a graceful manner. You hadn’t met this one before, and you notice her mane and tail look like they’re made of clouds. But upon talking with her, you learn she’s also literally as light as a cloud. She can jump up and remain in the air without flapping her wings, and with her consent, you could lift her off the ground with no effort at all, and even spin her in the air like a fluffy balloon.

Almost surprisingly, Whistlewind’s weightless body isn’t especially fragile, and she has an average strength for as long as she can get a good grip on something.
She works as a doctor.

Pollen Star (5’’)
You’re surprised to meet a breezie one morning at your door. The small creature explains she was curious about this huge world her kin only seldomly visits, and decided to stay in equestrian. She faces many hardships, but the cult of change was happy to encourage Pollen Star through her new life decision.

Neon Night (4’2’’)
The brightly coloured unicorn explains to you she works at a night club, and looks excited about growing bigger.
You learn the unicorn’s colours change every week. 

Summer Trot (4’1’’)
This earth mare looks normal. Well, compared to the rest of the cultists of change, she sure does. Talking with her is rather pleasant, and you learn she’s working as a plumber.
When the conversation ends, she warns you.
“I guess I’ll tell you just in case, but you shouldn’t boop my snout. Every time somepony does, something strange happen to me… or to them, or to somepony around. The effect is always random, but never lasts for more that 24 hours. Also, there’s a… recovery time to this effect. Booping me twice or more during the same day won’t do anything more.”

Butter and Swirls whispers in your mind about the mares you met. The twin goddesses tell you they feel like they are all still searching themselves, and don’t have something they really likes she want to commit their life to yet. The twin godesses did their best to spice up their life with a new form or ability, but the mares still have some way to go according to them.

You give the remaining potion to Velvet Pillow this week. The changeling grows to an impressive 30 feet and 9 inches. But you're glad she decided to get to the edge of town to grow, as she reaches a whooping 85 feet and 9 inches as the potion turn the changeling on.

However, in addition to the gained height, Velvet’s rump has swelled way beyond any realistic proportions. While you’d still want that butt on your face, it certainly looks ridiculously big on the changeling’s frame. Her flanks have become two wobbling oceans of flesh, dominating her entire frame. It looks like her behind belongs to an even larger pony and was attached to Velvet by mistake. The mare’s wings look comically tiny in comparison, and you’re not even sure she can fly anymore. And if she can, the sight would probably be hilarious to see.
Your mind has trouble processing it, but you might have reached some sort of “too big” point. It may be time for you to consider inhibiting a few rump effects. Luckily, none of the new test potions you made this week were based on this one, and no more mare should end with such a ridiculous butt.

Unless they hit a couple of butt effects too…

Anyway, you have a discussion with Velvet about matchmaking. Despite the heated confrontation you had with her the other day, the changeling does recognize that those who need to share their love the most are probably not those who seek her company already. Instead, you offer to concentrate on one pony, and help him find love. Your component furnisher looks like a fine candidate in that regard. He’s rather young, inconspicuous, and you’re almost certain he’s single.

Velvet Pillow decides to ask around their customers if they know about him first since the pony’s only been all business with you. Neither you nor Velvet think straightly talking to him without a plan will end well.

You may pick up this matter whenever you want. At least you think Velvet is satisfied with trying this new approach about spreading love, and won’t manipulate unwilling ponies at random for now.

It takes you some time to realize it, but somepony’s been adding flowers to the estate. First in the common room, but then in your lab too. Among other things, there’s small potted orchids with huge orange bell-shaped blooms, small trees with huge and luxurious green leaves, and even climbing vines which grew along the wall over the week, producing sweet-smelling, star-shaped purple flowers. With only a bit of investigation, you find that the culprit is Swamp Lily.

“You… and everypony else here, clearly you do not like the company of critters.” The druid mare tells you with a smile when you ask her where the idea came from. “So I thought I could show you what else the earth has to offer. Perhaps as you learn about their more pleasant side, you’ll learn to appreciate the boons of nature as a whole.”

Since it’s making your interior prettier and smell nice, neither you nor your employee are complaining for now.

Despite knowing a goddess who’s twice the sexy, you think it’s about time you visited Maafah again. You reckon ignoring her for too is probably gonna be worst that whatever can happen through a little chat. You’d rather not be in the middle of potion-making while you do so, so you’ll wait until the week-end.

As Butter and Swirls told you, the capabilities of your body have greatly increased since you received their blessing. You rarely feel tired, and the dumbbells you take with you to train with Coal Vein are not even challenging your muscles at all anymore. You’re not sure what’s the extent of your power yet, but you feel having a little fun discovering it.

“You want to wrestle me?” Coal Vein looks very unimpressed as you challenge her at the end of the first training of the week. “I’m gonna assume you got a trick up your sleeve. Are you sure you’re not gonna break if I get serious?”
“Trust me.” You answer with excitement. “Don’t go easy on me, or you’ll regret it. And the winner gives a massage to the looser!”
“Fine.” She nods, and takes a defensive stance. “Come at me.”

You’re not the kind of stallion to refuse such an invitation from a giant mare.
Immediately, you dash toward Coal Vein. Your strides are faster that what any normal pony could achieve, but the dark giantess remains collected and watches you approach. When you’re close enough, she does a quick spin on her front hooves and throws at you a buck powerful enough to reduce granite into dust.
You dodge narrowly, but the powerful gust of wind you feel over you makes you question your decision to fight the grey mare for a second. Still, you see an opening. With a quick rush, you pounce on the mare’s right front hoof, and attempt to pull it under her body to make the mare trip.

To your own surprise, you’re actually strong enough to force the tree trunk of a hoof off the ground, and the mountain that is Coal Vein’s body shifts dangerously as you pull her off balance.
However, with a powerful outward kick form her right hind leg, Coal Vein jumps and manages to shift her stance to have all her weight straight atop the hoof you’re pulling. You’re stuck in place for a second, carrying all the prodigious mass of the beefy mare at once with your hooves, which is more than enough time for her left hoof to come down and swipe your hind legs.

You trip and fall on the upper part of the mare’s front leg, and the wind is knocked out of your lungs as Coal Vein comes crashing down on you and the ground with a loud boom. You’re pinned between her leg and her muscular chest, your legs flailing uselessly as they stick out of Coal’s hold. The giantess’ weight is enormous, and your chest is so compressed you can’t even breathe. In panic, your horn lights up to cast a spell, but immediately Coal’s mouth come to bite your horn just enough to throw off your focus without hurting you, pacifying you completely.
Just when your consciousness was slipping away from the lack of oxygen, Coal Vein releases you from her hold, and allows your bruised body to breathe again.

“I’m not in a hurry for the massage.” Coal Vein states. “It’s whenever you want. You’re not an actual masseuse anyway.”
While you’re left panting on the ground, the dark mare goes for another rep of boulder lifting.

It’s been a while you haven’t talked to Nail about anything else than business, and you wonder what she’s been up too outside of work. Also… what has she done with all the money you’ve spent on her work.

“Yeah, it’s true. You’re making a rich mare out of me Wizard!” Nails chuckles. You didn’t have to push for the tan unicorn to start talking casually about her future plans. 
“I’m actually planning my retirement. Not that I’m old yet, but I think I’m smart enough to invest my bits and spend the rest of my life doing a minimal amount of work. When you’re done with your project, I’ll probably leave Klugetown, entrust the company to my workers, and settle somewhere quiet in Equestria. Then I guess I’m just gonna have some fun… And maybe find myself some company.”

At this moment, Rose passes through the common room to get out, Nails following her with her eyes all the way. Noticing her, Rose blows a kiss in Nails direction, making a deep blush appear on her face.
“Boy, just look at that mare…” Nails whispers dreamily, before turning to you again. “Anyway, Wizard, now we got a higher ceiling, how about you have me get a bit taller? 20 feet would be nice, but no growing while I’m getting heated up, and not too much ass either please. However I don’t mind if you raise my libido.” She gives you a smirk. “Just make sure I don’t become a dragon or a goddess by mistake.”
“And also… It’s not time yet, but when we part ways, I’d like to buy one last potion, to make another mare as tall as possible…” She says with a wink.

It’s also time you met this Mirage mare, and start planning Goldfeather’s downfall with her. 
You simply ask Rose about the best way to contact the mare. She answer you could probably ask her for a meeting through mail or try to contact her directly, but she doesn’t know whether Mirage with answer or not. Rose also knows about a reception where Mirage will probably be, and where you’ll be a able to meet her face to face. These events are for distraction, but also for rich ponies to discuss business and trade deals among themselves. Rose could get you in next weekend, or later since these events are actually regular things.

Speaking of which, you’ve been pondering about the possibility of a variation of your potion which would only last a few hours to use as a recreational substance. You don’t have the knowledge to do that right now, but that’s something you could definitely ask one of your assistant to study.

Nails finished building a pool for all your mares. The warehouse has been covered in a giant bathing space for everypony. There’s also smaller (still 50 feet wide) hot baths in the place. You and all your employee can’t wait to try this place out.

This week : 6856 bits. - 27 (expanses) - 40(beauty products )- 1950 (potion mk13*3) + 1000 (ingredients from ship) - 200(crew wage/ fuel) – 2000(hot bath) + 821 (income from Velvet Pillow) + 699 (income from Coal Vein)+ 1831 (income from Rose) + 1112 (income from Canopy Veil) + 80 (Nails) +2041 (income from show) – 258 (Rose's wage) – 202 (Canopy's's wage) -158(Velvet's wage) – 146(Coal's wage) =  9459 bits.

Canopy Veil, Velvet Pillow, but also Butter and Swirls all grew a couple inches this week.

You made three mk13 potion this week. They's all imbued with the power of change. Expect surprises beyond the usual.

Tide Novem continued working on Chaos Theory. She still needs 1 week to complete the research.

Sulfury continues working on the bigslayer. She still need 1 week to produce the device. 

Swamp Lily successfully researched Emergency Adaptation. From now on, the potion you produce will shrink a mare to 6 feet for a day when hit by the bigslayer, instead of being hurt.
Available researches for Swamp Lily
>Growing Harmony: 5 weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily understand the universal nature of you craft, and tells you about a ways to spread growth around town more easily. With that upgrade, you mares will be able to duplicate the effects the potion and to gift them to one another willing mare at a time with a simple physical contact. The effects would dissipate after up to one hour unless the contact is renewed.
>Mind Empathy: 2 Weeks to research. 
Swamp Lily thinks this could be a good idea to help your mares adjust to new size. Your potions will let the mares who drink them feel the state of mind of ponies around them, so they can know when ponies around them feel comfortable, scared, or are getting hurt.
>Unbound Growth: 2 weeks to research
For as long as a mare is under the effect of a crit or a fumble, her total size will increase by 10 percent each week instead of growing a couple of inches with Natural Growth.
>Winter's grasp: 1 week to research.
You may cut the price of making a potion in half, but any crit rolled on that potion will become a fumble instead.
>Study: 1 week to research. 
You can tell Swamp Lily to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

Swamp Lily won't be in town next week.

>What do?

A new pool, lots of new mares ready to grow into beautiful giantesses, Rose's knockers which have gown even bigger since last time… You can't wait to get started with this weekend!
That's why… you'd rather put the unsavory stuff out of the way first. Namely, paying Maafah a visit.

Even now, as you penetrate the dark room that is her sanctuary in your estate, your connection with the goddesses of change is silenced. You just hope Maafah doesn't know about your link with Butterswirl yet. You do not know if Maafah would get jealous, but you certainly don't want to take any chance.

As always, the physical bounds of the place fade away as you climb on the bed. You find yourself standing on a dark, and warm place, and soon you see the gargantuan face of Maafah looking at you. It's at this moment you realize you're standing on the chest of the giantess.
You also feel a shiver run through your body, as you realize Maafah is significantly larger than the previous times you saw her. She would be about 500 feet tall standing at this point. The potential reasons and consequences of her increase in size put you ill-at-ease.

"Ah… If it's not may favorite Growth Wizard…" The trickster goddess purrs. You feel her chest vibrate slightly with each word. "Empty-hooved I see. You haven't brought me this Goldfeather guy yet, and I don't think you've decided to build another sanctuary for me either… Are you doing alright?" The goddess pout mockingly "You didn't go bankrupt, did you?"

Before you can say something, Maafah speaks up again.
"Anyway, great timing Wizard. I had a little something to ask you."
A massive hoof comes landing right in front of you, obstructing your vision like a wall of darkness, and the very air it displaces at is move makes you stagger slightly. When Maafah lift her hoof, two zebra mares, bound in ropes of darkness, are lying in front of you.

The first looks startled, and on the verge of tears. Quickly looking around in panic, she immediately calls.
"Please! I surrender!" She begs both to you and the trickster goddess. "Now I see the way of the Widow is superior! I will join you! I'll obey any order, please let me go!"

Meanwhile the other zebra quietly looks around. She's sweating, trembling slightly, and you think you see her test the strength of her bonds. Despite her more collected state, this one doesn't seem to have any chance of escaping either.

"All you need to know, is that these two tried to steal the toys of my followers, to free them or something." Maafah states, disregarding the pleas of the first zebra. "What an odd idea… Anyway, they deserve a punishment. But… I've been punishing a lot of ponies recently, and I started having trouble coming up with entertaining ideas after the hundredth one." Maafah grins. "So I thought you could help me. you're a creative pony, Wizard. What do you think I should do with these two?"

>What do?

"I say you should make them gather ingredients for my new, highly experimental potions. And tthen I'll use them as the test subjects!" You announce.

Both zebras fall silent. They do not know how afraid they should be about what you said. Maafah, however, looks unimpressed with your decision.
"Then, ehm…" You try to find something else. "You could steal their size and set them free in a forest, or you could give them as new toys to your followers!"
"Growth Wizard…" She shakes her head. "I told you I was searching for something new and entertaining. I've lost count of the number of ponies I shrunk to nothingness already, and my followers have so much toys they forget to take of some of them."

"Well just tell me if you hear something interesting then." You continue. "How about something more ironic? Did they serve another goddess in the past?"
"Yes." Maafah smirks. "But the mother couldn't protect them it seems."
"Then they will help paying for that sanctuary you've been wanting… Oh! I know! I'll test my potions on them, and you will take all the height they gain, only to leave them with all the undesireable effect."
"Hummm…" Maafah seems to like that one. "Yes, that sounds interesting enough."
"I'll just need a little upgrade for my lab then!" You smile. "I need to upgrade my lab so I can make five potions a week and so I can keep growing the rest of my mares. Surely it is within the realm of your immense power to make it so."

"Do I look like the goddess of chores to you, Wizard?" Maafah frowns, and a giant hoof comes to squish you hard against the goddess's chest. "I am not here to continently grant your every wish!" 
She uses the edge of her hoof, and you let out a yelp of pain as you feel your spine bend inward dangerously. You can feel Maafah could crush you like an insect if she wanted, ending your life in an instant. Yet, she smiles as this is just a game to her, and she releases you for now, your body curling on itself after the painful experience.

"Do not misunderstand me, Wizard!" Suddenly, you're not on Maafah's chest, but on the ground, and 6 feet Maafah, looking like she originally did, sits near you. 
"I am hurting you so you learn the proper way to address a goddess." She whispers in your hear. "I've been a bit too lenient in the past I think, but I am making a better pony out of you right now. I have not given up on you, and one day, you shall be the most perfect of my heralds."

"I accept your idea, Wizard!" Maafah then declares "But it will be your burden to take care of the logistics. Here are the terms. You shall give at least one potion each week to at least one of these two trespassers, and I shall take all that I wish from them. Starting…" Maafah seems to hesitate for a second. "…Next week. Besides that, they will be bound to you. They won't be able to willingly harm you or your reputation, nor shall they try to leave your command, and they shall obey any order you give them!"

On these words, Maafah comes to the first zebra, and before she can protest, places a little kiss on her forehead. The zebra's body start to convulse violently. You see a glowing red lip mark shine on her forehead when the goddess is done. The zebra then faints, and the lip mark seem to sink beneath the skin of the zebra.
Maafah then gives the same treatment to the zebra.

After that, both zebras disappear into the darkness, and Maafah turn to your again.
"That'll do for these mares…" Maafah declares. "Now, did you just come in to say hi, or is there anything else you wanted to tell me, Wizard?"

>What do?

"Oh, just wanted to check in and make sure you were comfortable." You say. "Not that I need another motive to want to come and see my favorite sexy zebra goddess!"
"Ah… finally some praise." Maafah chuckles gleefully, her body starting to rapidly swell larger again in reaction. "You're making immense progress today, Wizard. Keep it up, and your reward shall come soon."

"If you like praise, then perhaps you should have made those two into earrings to constantly give you compliments or ask for mercy. Whichever you prefer."
"Finally some good ideas!" The goddess, back to her gargantuan size, answers. "I'll be sure to keep that one in my mind for next time."
"Yes, I reckon you would like that. But then… No I don't think I have anything else to say. Also, I wasn't expecting nearly having my spine broken but in hindsight I probably should have chosen my words more carefully."

"Wisely spoken… But sometimes, I do not understand you, Wizard. Why do you grant immense power to mares, and then expect them not to use it? Mmmh… Maybe I should start giving ideas to some of your workers." Maafah chuckles. "You know, whispering to them, about how right it would feel to crush anypony in their way until they're at the very top of the world…"

"A-Actually!" You try to change the subject and have Maafah forget about this. "I wanted to ask you, what if I build a breadbox-sized sanctuary for you, so I could get Goldfeather to just stick his hoof in it so you can take care of him?"
"Mmmmh…" Maafah ponders. "Truthfully, if you had just done it and made it a surprise, I would have accepted that. But now, if you come to me and explain your trick beforehand, you're ruining the whole surprise for me! So forget about that. I won't allow a tiny sanctuary for my grandeur."

You wince. You feel like Maafah pushes you to act bold, but at the same time will punish you if you take too much initiative.
Maybe that's her point…

>What do?

"I guess I should leave then... Maybe I'll come up with a few more ideas. You'll find out what I come up with, one way or another. Goodbye my sexy goddess." You say with a bow.
"My pleasure, Wizard." Maafah answers with smirk. "Have fun with your new toys."

And on these words, Maafah slips outs of reality. You're in her room again, and the two unconscious zebras are lying next to you, unbound.

>What do?

You smile to yourself as you're able to carry the two zebras without much effort on your back, and bring them out of Maafah's room.

Your employers are shocked at first, and listen in disbelief as you tell them where these mares come from.
"You did the right thing, Wizard." Canopy says. "I have no idea what would have happened to them if you let them in Maafah's hooves. Even if, from what you're telling us… lots of zebra are currently experiencing such a fate. Let's just hope Maafah's followers don't invade this town in the future."

As Canopy speaks, both zebra mares shift awake. The first one she jumps on her hooves in panic, surprised she's no tied in ropes anymore. The other can't seem to take her eyes of the many giant mares in the common room, a look of awe on her face.

"Wh-where are we?" The first one asks, startled.
"If alright." You try to reassure them. "You're safe here. You don't even need to tell me what happened. Do you need something to eat? We have lots of eggs…"
What are you gonna do to us?" The zebra answers, not looking at ease yet.

>What do?

"Nothing, really." You shake your head. "We already had our activities planned out, and you're free to tag along if you want. But I need to hear your names first."
"Lissa." The first zebra immediately answers.
 "Aroka." The second one follows. They both seem a little confused all of a sudden.

"Oh, yeah, you're cursed to follow my commands. Sorry about that…" You say nervously. "Anyway, there'll be more that enough space at the bathhouse for you to tag along. But there's something else we need to do first!"

indeed, it's potion time! Your sizeable group, including the two zebra and Butterswirl's followers, travels to the edge of town to witness the miracle of growing mares.

Lissa and Aroka both remain fairly silent, looking nervously at their new environment. You feel like they're surprised they didn't get any sort of mistreatment yet, and probably fear your attitude is only a facade. You have yet to discuss with them about Maafah's doings, but you're not sure they're comfortable enough to talk about that yet. You could order them to talk of course, but you'd rather have them feel at ease as soon as possible.

Now, you have three experimental mk13 potions and one mk1 at your disposal, and your mares are eagerly waiting to hear who's getting some more size today.

>What do?

You decide Canopy will go first. You give the green-maned mare a potion, which she immediately drinks.

She was already above 24 feet, but she starts to grow fast. Really fast! With a low rumble, her body rises in the air, swelling above the 30 feet mark in a second, then 40 feet, and 50 feet without showing any intend to stop. Canopy looks worried she might catch you under her, and takes a number of steps back in the desert while her form keeps rising. 
"Hum… this is gonna stop at some point, right?" Canopy asks worriedly as she breaks the 70 feet mark, and still growing. You feel a little glad Rose decided to let go of Tide Novem for now, and doesn't grow to match Canopy right away… Already the chocolate mare is way too huge to fit in your estate, even crawling. The average pony would now be unable to reach even her ankles. Her growth only stops when Canopy reaches 91 feet and 8 inches in height.

But at this point, a loud moan escapes Canopy's mouth, reverberating in the whole desert as a powerful wave of growth hits her. The falls on her back with an earthquake, giving you a striking view on her ever-growing snatch. She gains 50 feet at once, and as her gargantuan hooves found their way to her swollen pussy lips, she cries in delight once more as she reaches 200 feet in height.
And in a final effort for release, the earth shakes as your potion bring Canopy to orgasm, growing her to a whopping 339 feet and 8 inches. Your group watches in awe and fear, as the impossibly huge pussy of Canopy showers the desert with enough mare juice to turn it into a muddy swamp. Despite its oversized room, your estate would be a smallish dollhouse compared to the titaness in front of you. Her marehood looks large enough you could install your whole lab inside. Canopy's rump too, has inflated a bit further. Not quite reaching Velvet's proportions, but at her size, her cutie marks are the size of real-life sequoias. 

"Heehee!" You hear Butter giggle form your hat. "Leave it to the Growth Wizard to hit the biggest of my blessing first! The gods are on your size it seems. I mean, other gods too! I'm on your side all the time…"

While Canopy start to shrink in the afterglow, probably to 90 feet again, you monitor the effect she underwent.
Not critical for this potion, but only height effects. However, you notice the new effects you discovered last time are back in their square once more. Odd…

But another screen appears then, apparently from nowhere, showing a view… Of a close up of Butterswirl's butt, with some inscriptions.
"Do you like the presentation?" The goddess in your hat asks. "This one will not stack. There will always be one random gift by experimental potion, and I'm gonna leave them a surprise until you discover them!"

>What do?

Before trying another potion, you attempt to slide one of the new effects into another box on your monitor, as you did when you could reassign all the effects. And it works! You've granted another health effect for Canopy so far. The giant earth mare is still coming down from her orgasm, so you're not sure she has noticed yet.
In the meantime…

"Rose?" You call the mature unicorn. "Are you ready for another go with the potion?"
"You know it stud!" She smirks. "I wonder if you can top Tide Novem with that one."

She takes the potion and chugs it down. After only a few second her body start to shine brightly, and then…
Her form shrinks down the original size of Sandy Rose. But as the glow stops, you're not facing one, but two perfectly normal-sized mature unicorns.

"Huh?" Both unicorn stare at each other in confusion. "This is particular, but…"
"Quite disappointing. After Canopy's show, I hoped for a little more… WOAH!" The second Rose gasp as she suddenly shoots up to 10 feet in height, to everpony's surprise.

"Hold on…" the first Rose comes in front of Nails. The tan unicorn is 8 feet tall, about twice as tall as Rose right now, but with a confident grin, the mature mare start to grow bigger and bigger, until she's 20 feet tall under the stupefied look of Nails.

"Ah!" The second Rose lets out a purr, while her rump grows some padding. "How supremely convenient! The best of both words for both of us. What a treat, Stud! This is better than any wardrobe to choose a new look everyday!"

Probably using the health effect, the coats of both unicorns brighten, and their manes grow longer again. Then they both come to each place a sweet kiss one the cheeks of a dumbstruck Nails, who looks like she's gonna go cross-eyed from trying to watch both the beauties which are teasing her at once.

You hit a crit, as your monitor confirms, as well as a variety of effects. More butt, more libido, more confidence and more size both unicorn can activate at will. There's even one additional effect with this potion and another one to assign.
With quick maffs, you reckon each Rose can grow to 49 feet right now, and they could each reach 196 when they're turned on.

From Butterswirl, both Roses received the gift of change it seems, its nature being quite obvious.

>What do?

"So, you're gonna need two of my strongest potions now." You teasingly whisper to Nails.
The tan unicorn has a dumbstruck smile on her face, while a couple of 20-feet Roses are hugging her and making out and above her head, producing luscious moans.

"Maybe I will…" She answers absently, her hooves probing the magnificent pairs of tits which are covering her whole lower body right now. "Unless these two send me to heaven first. I think I could die happily right now…"

After that, you give your mk1 potion to Pollen Star. The breezie drinks it eagerly, and seems a bit disappointed as she only reaches 1 feet and 11 inches in height.
"Hum. I guess I'll be able to interact with pony stuff proper at least." She says. "Maybe I'll finally be able to make myself useful somehow!"

But now, there's one last mare you can turn onto a giant.
"Ribbons, you're next!" You announce.
"Wh-what? I-I am?" She blurts. It doesn't sound like she expected you to pick her so soon. "Well… Of course!"

Despite her surprise, Ribbons takes your potion with enthusiasm, and after taking her distances a little…
"Alright! H-here I go!" She says and drinks the potion.

The growth hit Ribbons like a truck.
She gasps as her size doubles in an instant, and then doubles again just as fast. She watches in awe as her perceptive shifts, her head rising above the perspective of a pony to reach the realm of giantesses. Her midsection also widens, becoming thicker around the middle of her length, probably where her cloaca is situated. You also notice her colors seem to change. Her scales take a golden hue, while her mane become a bright pink mess of curls.

She keeps growing and growing, until her body reaches 227 feet and 11 inches in length, which would be about 65 feet tall if she was shaped like a pony.

Ribbons let out a cry of surprise and lust as the second wave of growth starts. She writhes in the sand in pleasure, the tips of her tail frenetically searching for her entrance so she can appease the burning in her crotch, all while she doubles in size once more. The sun shines on her scales, all while she swells into more and more impossible proportions. You and all you mares are watching in awe, as you feel like you're witnessing the birth of a dune goddess right in front on you.

Her body is 860 feet and one inch long when she climaxes (your Growth wizard powers allow you to see a clear difference made by that one inch) and about 50 feet thick, up to 80 feet thick at her midsection.
She's so gigantic she could probably coil around the whole sky harbor of Klugetown at this size, and right now she pants blissfully as she savors the afterglow, each of her exhale creating a small sandstorm.

Ribbons got no crit or fumble. Only some size, health and butt, although her particular shape makes it look less awkward. Unless she's so exotic the thickness she has doesn't look out of place.

You reckon Butterswirl's gift gave you some more size to spare, although not as much as for Canopy. You suspect the change of color might also be her doing.

>What do?

A wide grin bloomed on your face without you even realizing it. Your potion are out of this world by now! Butterswirl wasn't kidding when she said your potions would pack a lot more punch. Although, even Rose can grow up to almost 200 feet by herself, and you don't even think Butterswirl's gift help you reach that size.

You approach the gigantic Ribbons, who's still lounging on the sand at her ludicrous size. Her head alone looks like a riant building, and her open mouth could swallow three dozen ponies at once without trouble.

You give a pat to her chin to get her attention, and the two black pits of her pupils come down to stare as you, while she still shows a blissful smile.
"Are you alright there?" You ask her, shouting unconsciously. "That looked… pretty intense!"
"Oh, yes. Intense!" Ribbons coos, her voice booming all around you. "That's the word! That's the most intense thing I've ever experienced! I can't wait for next time. I'm gonna get another potion in the future, right? And then I'll get even bigger!" She giggles, and adds in a lust-filled sigh. "I can't wait…"

You show her a smile. You're really glad she's reacting so well to your potion. For now, you let her enjoy her new stature, and instead turn your attention to the couple of Roses who are still smothering Nails between their bodies.

"Hmm... Looks like I just managed to double the amount of beauty in this world." You announce cheekily to the couple of 20-foot mares. "I'm almost as impressed with myself as I am stunned by the both of your presences."
"You can pat yourself on the back today, Stud." Rose answers. "You've been making wonders indeed!"
"But why stop here, Stud?" Her twin adds, growing a dozen more feet. As the other Rose imitates her, Nails finds herself buried to the neck in wonderous tit-flesh. She looks like she has a natural red coat right now.
"I think there's still not enough Sandy Rose in this world, Wizard. I can't wait for the day you'll grow us big enough so all of Equestria can appreciate our sight at once!"

"She's right." Her twin continues, growing to 60 feet, Nails' enraptured face completely disappearing between their mammaries. "Think of those poor ponies who have yet to witness us. That is unacceptable! You have to work extra hard to make the world a better place, Wizard!"

You gulp. Hearing first Ribbons, then Rose embracing they gigantic size makes you feel light-headed, like on a dream coming true. You're not sure if it's the desert's sun, or all those confidence and lust effects kicking in, but your mares are getting hungrier for more size the bigger they get.
You have a lot to do on your plate, just the way you like it.

Taking Tide Novem with you, you move to Canopy Veil. At over 90 feet, the bathhouse would feel like a puddle even when she has cooled down from her arousal. She's still lying on her back, and faces the sky. There's a contemplative look on her face.
"Wizard?" She whispers when you're near her head, thoughtful. "Are these… clouds?"

>What do?

"I think so." You answer. "What's it like up there? Must be beautiful!"
"My head's not yet in the clouds, Wizard." Canopy says with a small chuckle. "But I'm sure you'll get me there some day."

The chocolate mare falls silent again. Looking at clouds.
"Ehm… Don't worry about me." Canopy says. "Just leave me alone with Tide. I'll join you at the bathhouse later. I just need to be alone for a moment."

>What do?

"Hum. I'll let you enjoy yourself then." You answer, planting an insignificant kiss on the wall of chocolate fur. "Do whatever you want. You can travel and discover quite a lot when you're 90 feet tall. You could even make another oasis in the desert."
"He." Canopy chuckles. "Imagining ponies being chest deep into my… *cough*, I still find it a little gross. I guess I still need some time to wrap my head around this new size."
You too, chuckle in return.

"Just don't go see the ocean yet please. I think it'll be a better experience if we all go together one day. Also, join us at the pool whenever you're good!"

On these words, it's high time you brought everypony to the pool! Canopy remains behind, as well as Ribbons, how's tickling her nethers some more to remain at her gargantuan size for a little longer. You round up all the big and small mares around, including Nails who passed out in between Rose's milk pillows, and bring them the warehouse that has been transformed to house a 500 feet long and 10 to 50 feet deep pool. There's also a huge 50 ft high and wide tank, looking like a blast furnace, which is the hot bath Nails promised you.

"Whoa… you really outdid yourself, Nails!" Butters comments from bellow your hat. "That pool is gigantic! Just what everypony needs!"
"Haha!" The tan mare shows a proud stance. "You know you're doing something right when a goddess personally praises you! I gonna say that one wasn't a cakewalk. You have no idea how much of a nightmare the plumbing was. But now, splash and dive all you want, all the water will come back to the basin!"
"Alright then!" You announce. "Then I guess we can-"

"I'm calling dibs on the hot bath." Coal Vein says, and immediately start to walk toward the tank, which already have some a bit of steam coming out of it.
"Let's try it too!" Both Roses declare, shrinking to 8 feet so they can comfortably fit inside the tank with the grey earth pony. Nails also follos them. Meanwhile, Butterswirl's followers, as well as Sulfury, sound like they want to have a go with the gigantic pool. Whistlewind's particularity is making her quit the fun water toy it seems.

Only Swamp Lily doesn't look sure about where she wants to start. There's allow giant-sized showers in a corner of the warehouse, near the hot bath.

>What do?

"C'mon Lily." You approach the swamp mare. "While everyone is testing out the pools we can see what the shower is like. Have you ever sat under a waterfall? I imagine it'll be like sitting under a waterfall, but heated and with less fish."
"I know what's a shower, even if I don't use them, thank you." The mare chuckles uncomfortably.

"Take your time." You try to encourage her. "I can help you wash if you want your mane, coat and tail if you want."
Swamp Lily doesn't answer, only showing you a polite smile. She does moves to the showers though. Since they were designed with giantesses in mind, a torrential rain of hot water falls on you as you turn them on. To your surprise, Lily's mane and fur retain their fuzz even under the load of water. Moved by curiosity, you touch her tail with a hoof, and realize there's a whole muddy gangue covering her whole body, encrusted right atop her skin, but normally invisible under her fur.

"It feels… good." Swamp Lilly mutters.

>What do?

You have some work to do!
Working with your hooves, you start cleaning Swamp Lily from her muddy crust. You've never felt something like this before. It's like clay, but supple and resistant at the same time. With soap and a sponge, you scrub her side vigorously while you use you magic to carefully take the gangue off her mane and tail without hurting her.

Before long, clumps of the stuff fall on the ground, a number of small insects and earthworms crawling out from it. Swamp Lily lets out a small gasp as you finally touch her actual skin. For a moment you almost thought you'd discover her different colors without her layer of dirt, but her tones are still the same, perhaps only a little lighter.

Now you breached her armor of dirt, you can remove the rest far more easily, peeling it of the mare with vigorous strokes on her sides, hooves and head. Swamp Lily let you do all the work, only letting out the occasional little hums of both embarrassment and relief, and she shudders under your touch every time. 
"It does feel nice, it's a very well made shower." You add under the hot downpour "The warm water must feel incredible if you've never experienced it before."
Swamp Lily only produces an awkward smile in reaction to your teasing.

It took you a dozen minutes, but you've finally liberated Swamp Lilly from her earthy crust.
And now, she looks… normal. Like your average stocky wet mare. She smells clean, and her fur and the now straight mane which cover her eyes are silky like the ones of a model. Still, she looks a little confused, and you see her blushing madly under her wet mane.

>What do?

She’s blushing. Hum… She’s probably just getting emotional. Mares grow when they’re aroused, and this one is still a foot smaller than you are. Yep. Definitely a platonic blushing.

You turn off the shower then go fetch a towel for Swamp Lily.
“Just in case you don’t want to go swimming yet!” You tell her as you place the towel on her shoulders. You then take a few steps back, and take the toweled mare in a tight hug.

“And this is just in case you forgot how awesome of a mare you are!” You whisper in her ear. This is beyond cheesy, but Swamp Lily has never been exposed to these kinds of romantic clichés, and you feel her let out a nervous but amazed sigh at your words. Once again, she returns the embrace gingerly at first, but then squeezes your body with an iron tight grip in a fuzzy coat. Swamp Lily is just a bit round and plump, and she feels really nice as she rest on you. You faintly hoped for a kiss, but Swamp Lily is just content to wrap her hooves around you this time, keeping her head cradled against your chest.
 
“You know Wizard…” she whispers to you as she frees you from her grasp. “I think I’m starting to understand why you love bigger ponies so much. It feels so peaceful and cozy to rest against around somepony larger than you are.”

"Anyway, I think I'm gonna try the hot bath." She says as she starts to trot away. For half a second she looks back at you, as though there's something more she wanted to tell you, but ends up saying nothing a heading for the basin.

Before anything else, you look around to find the two zebra mares. Lissa and Aroka both went into the pool, but away from the group of Butterswirl's followers who are having some fun splashing each other. They're talking among themselves, and while they're not panicked anymore, they still look very cautious about their new environment.

>What do?

You first decide to call Whistlewind over. You feel like having this cloudy pony around might make the situation a lot less dramatic. You sneak closer from the two zebras with the gray pegasus, and when you're close enough, you lob the weightless pony right at Lissa, where her butt bounces harmlessly on the zebra's head, propelling the giggling pegasus upwards.

"Hi you two." Whistlewind softly introduces herself while she float above them. "Do you mind if we have a little talk?"
The two quickly exchange a glance, and then show you meek nod.

"Well… I guess I should explain what's happening." You state. "I'm the Growth Wizard. I've dedicated my life to size magic, and to making mares the beautiful giantesses they deserve to be!"
As you pronounce these words, Canopy Veil enters the bathhouse as a 60 feet tall alicorn. It looks like the proximity with Ribbons, who accompanied her as 200 feet long snake didn't allow her to get any smaller.
Both giantesses are happy to join everypony else, turning the quiet pool into raging waters by simply jumping inside. Canopy lets out a sigh of relief as she dips in water, while Ribbons dove bellow the surface for now.

"Yes, this is what I do." You speak again, taking the zebras out of their amazement in the face of these two colossal mares. "I'm brewing potions which grow mares, and by studying the results, I hope to achieve the ultimate growth magic someday. And because of some… circumstances, you'll be lending me a hoof I guess."

"So it must be you then…" Lissa asks you with a hollow despair in her voice. "You're the one who allowed the Widow to walk through the world, didn't you?"

>What do?

"Well… yes." You admit with a hint of regret. 
You decide to tell the full details about how you hired Maafah, her devotion to the Widow, your attempt at making her worship another god, bur ended participating in the ritual which made her merge with the trickster goddess. Lissa and Aroka listen to you with a grim expression, but they do not seem to hold anything against you. Or at least, they don't show it right now.

"I thought I was stopping her, but now I just try not to think about it." You conclude pitifully. "She left this town in peace… for now. But now I see that's not the case where you come from. I do not know what she's been up to. Can you two… tell me?"

Once again, the zebras exchange a nod, and then…
"It was just so sudden…" Aroka starts "Even though we worship different  goddesses, we zebras usually live on good terms together. But then ponies came from over the see. Worshippers of the Widow, imbued with her magic. Soon, they started plundering our villages. They didn't try to make any demand, and simply took everything they wanted, siphoning the size of every zebra they would meet among other things."

"Everybody was taken by surprise, and none were spared but the most devote followers of the Widow. Everybody else tried to organize themselves to push them back after some time, but that's when we witnesses her…" Aroke shivers. "The Widow, walking the world and towering over it. She shrunk a whole army into bugs in an instant, and grew even more gigantic than she first was, just like in her legend, where the world would eventually become her toy… Since then, her followers have been simply enjoying themselves, playing with their prisoners in more or less cruel ways. The situation seems to entertain them enough they're not searching for any more targets right now."

"Just like the rest of the zebras, we capitulated. Through sheer luck, our keeper decided to keep us at our normal size while we served her. We didn't know each other before that. And while our captor was busy, we tried to help some of the tiniest of us to escape. But…" Aroka winces. "We were caught. And now we're here…"

You and Whistlewind fall silent. It sounds like these two have gone through a lot. At least, you think speaking it out helped them ease up a little.
Maybe a little party is in order to cheer up and thank all your mares. You could probably find all the necessary stuff is no time. You could have Butterswirl help you, but your money is powerful enough to gather everything you need at a moment's notice.

>What do?

"Why didn't the Mother and Empress stop her?" You ask. "I thought the three goddesses existed in balance, so two of them should be able to overcome the other, right? A couple of desert worshippers alone can't make for such a huge difference!"

"It's… complicated." Lissa sulks. "No goddess ever empowered so many of their followers at once, let alone appear in the real world. That only ever happened in old tales. I don't know why it was so easy for the Widow to break the balance."
"Perhaps your potion is what triggered in all." Aroka ponders. "Perhaps witnessing one of her followers become so big woke the Widow's will to come rule over the world again. The other goddess certainly have the power to make such a miracle happen, but the Widow took a step ahead on them, and it will be harder to balance things out form here on."

"I heard the champion of the Empress is still traveling through the world. Perhaps she has a chance at taking down the Widow's earthly vessel." Lissa says. "But I'm afraid the Mother doesn't have any mean to oppose the Widow right now. At least, none that I know of…"

You want to ask these two about the Mother some more, but since she has her spell on them, there's a chance Maafah's listening to you right now, so you shouldn't be obvious about it. Maybe bringing the two zebras in Butterswirl's space could protect everypony, but then it's Butterswirl that wouldn't go unnoticed by the trickster goddess.
Still, you're convinced there's a chance you might use the little compassion Maafah still has in her.

"Can you tell me a little about the Mother?" You simply ask. That probably sounds general not to give away anything yet precise yet. "I know very little about her."

"The cult of the mother revolves around nurture." Lissa says. "Ponies must take care of each other and help the younger and weaker ones to grow into dependable ponies themselves, so they can help the next generation in the same manner. Of course, motherhood is the purest form of this devotion, and nothing pleases the mother more than a mare raising her foals. She bestows her benediction to help the zebras with the largest families, so the mares can take care about all of their children."
"We are not the kind to seek conflict." Aroka adds "But a mother should be able to defend her children. However, nopony could defend us against the Widow this time…"

You nod. That's a start, and you can always try to learn more specific things later. After thanking them, you let the two zebras alone while Whistlewind who decide to talk to them some more. For now, you move to the hot bath where Coal Vein, both Roses, Nails and Swamp Lily are inside an ocean of pink bubbles. It seems like Coal Vein found the occasion to use your present after all. You only see the top of the dark mare's head peeking from the top of the bath, eyes closed, almost like she's sleeping. You think Swamp Lily's atop her head. 

Maybe the druid mare would like to be shrunk, you think for a second, but shrinking is the opposite of what you do, and also generally heresy. Maybe you could bring her to Butterswirl so she can meet a really big pony, though. Meanwhile, both Roses are discussing together about the possibilities for next week's show, while Nails shamelessly ogles the two 10-feet unicorns.

"Hey, Nails!" You call the constructor pony. "I wanted to thank you again for the pool!"
"It's nothing." She answers. "I'm digging having a private pool too after all."
"Also, I just wanted to ask if you had decided about who was gonna take up the business after you leave. Do you need any help deciding?" 
"Hey, I'm not gone yet!" she chuckles in response. "I told you! I'm sticking with you until you're out of things to build for me. Don't you think you'll get rid of me before I take some more thousands of bits from you!" 

You smile in return. Perhaps you should organize a small party to celebrate how good life is right now. You could have Butterswirl summon something, or just buy the stuff yourself. Maybe you could all travel to her dimension too. Should you do that?

>What do?

"Sorry, that was just meant to help you relax." You embarrassedly tell the grumpy mare. "I guess you were right when you said I wasn't a good masseuse. I'd rather stop then, I guess…"

But then the realization hits you.
"Wait, did you just admit you re ticklish?" You ask excitedly. "Are there more ticklish places? Or are you ticklish everywhere except some places…"

Coal Vein lets out a tired growl and rolls her eyes annoyedly in response. There, she lobs you away, sending you flying across the whole place until your screaming form lands in the opposite side of the pool with a loud splash.
When you emerge from the water, you see Coal Vein getting off the hot bath.

At this moment you decide it's the right moment to offer everypony a little treat. You exit the bathhouse to fetch some champagne and sparkly juice, as well as some party poppers and confetti. 

Everypony's pleasantly surprised by your initiative, except maybe Lissa and Aroka, who still fell alien around you and the group of normal to giant mares. With the help of Butterswirl, the bottles have grown large enough for even the largest snakes and ponies to drink comfortably from them. And moreover, they content seems bottomless for now, something Coal Vein learns first-hoof after she tried to go bottom up with one bottle. The giant mass of muscles is left wobbly on her hooves, and on the verge of throwing up after trying to empty a bottle in her gullet for almost 20 seconds.

The couple of Roses find this miracle very interesting, and decide to see who among them can last the longest in a drinking contest. They're gonna go a little slower than Coal Vein though. Only the two zebras and Swamp Lily settle for a soft drink, but the rest of your mares, including Butterswirl's followers soon get themselves a nice serving from the infinite booze.

The mood soon gets a little more joyful in the bathhouse. Coal Vein is already on the verge of falling into the unfathomable booze snooze, but seem fine with it. She has Swamp Lily trapped between her hooves, and pets her like she would pet Paka. Swamp Lily looks like she can appreciate that situation. 
Even after their 8th glass, both Roses are still not looking even tipsy, besides a bit of a rosy tint to their cheeks. Growing after each shot is probably cheating, though.

>What do?

You were a little scared Butterswirl's follower would be frightened by the sudden change of size, but Ribbons seems ecstatic about it. Even perhaps a bit careless with her gigantic body. Earlier she used her size to create a giant whirlpool in the pool by simply swimming in circle underwater, and then she burst in laughter at her very frightened friends as though she just made a good joke. It probably was in her mind, but the feeling of being drowned in the deep waters of your pool was probably very real for ponies of average size. You do not think any of them had the heart to get angry at Ribbons, though.

"Hey! Are you doing alright?" You call the towering snake. "How are you feeling at your new size?"
"Oh." Ribbons seems to notice the source of the noise. "It's you! Well, thanks again, because I think it's absolutely grrrrreat tobe so huge! I can't imagine what I'm gonna do right now. I think I'm gonna go on an adventure or something. My boring old job can screw itself!"

"Hum… are you sure?" You show her a tense smile. "What about money?"
"Pfeh, Money? Have you looked at me, Wizard?" She shows a sheepish grin. "Do you think anypony's gonna refuse if I ask them for something?"
You let out a nervous giggle. Perhaps Ribbons isn't as innocent of a mare as you thought.

Anyway, you think the time is ripe for a little speech.
"Everyone!" You gather everypony's attention by clattering you your hoof against an empty bottle. "I'd like to make a toast. To thank you. All of you. Because as I look around, I only see beauty and happiness, growing cuties and giant goddesses, and it fills me with pride and glee to see what we all achieved together. There's many ponies in here, some of which I know for quite some time now, and whom I owe this all."

You turn to the tan unicorn. "Nails. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have this awesome place. And that's only the latest of your works! It's thanks to you even the biggest of us could always have a roof over their head."
A short applause form everypony accompanies your declaration, and Nails show a wide and prideful grin in response.

"Rose… And Rose." You tell the two unicorns. "You've a part of this adventure for a very long time. And if today the masses of Klugetown can't get enough of giant mares, I think you're the one to blame. You're the best Rose! And you too Ro-".

"UhhhhhhhG!" Coal Vein suddenly interrupts you with a growl. "You're fucking loud!"
There, her giant hoof comes to catch you, and before you can do anything you find yourself squeezed between the mare's arm and her massive, muscular chest. The giantess' slow breath is so laden with the smell of alcohol you feel like you're getting drunk just inhaling it. Since she's leaning on the wall slightly, the pressure isn't crushing like the at time you spared with her, which is a good thing since the dark mare seems to have succumbed to a heavy drunken sleep after silencing you.
Still, you're completely blocked, and Coal Vein is in no condition to free you from her grasp.

However, it seems Swamp Lily is currently in the same situation, and right next to you.
"As I said earlier, this is pretty nice." The druid mare purrs with a smile. "After so many nights alone in the swamps, Coal's strong body feels like the safest haven to me."

The safest haven… yeah, it checks out. Even if it's compressing you a little right now. Something which the rest of the mares look worried about.
"Are you two alright?" Canopy asks. "Hold on, we're gonna get you out of here!"
"There's no need." Swamp Lily softly retorts. "Let Coal Vein have her rest. She needs it. Besides, we will be fine in this position. Is it not true, Wizard?"
"Hum… yeah. We'll be fine." You nod

The rest of the mares look puzzled, but your employees know you enough to not question your will to remain in the hooves of a giant mare.
"It's pleasant to have you here with us, WIzard" Swamp Lily says, and nuzzles your cheek. "We should have done this a long time ago."

Seeing how Coal Vein became a dead weight, you're probably here until the middle of the night. You might as well get comfortable, you think as you nuzzle Swamp Lily back.


You have 9459 bits available.

Offers currently on the table:
For 1000 bits: Nails will remove the first floor in your estate in all rooms in 1 week.
For 10000 bits: Nails will expand your estate toward the cliff by 40 feet, meaning some of the construction will be in the air, supported by diagonal pillars held on the cliff. That will take 6 weeks.
For 6000 bits: Nails will build a sanctuary according to Maafah's demands in 1 week. It can be within your estate or anywhere else.
For 2000 bits each Nails may add a jacuzzi, and/or a sauna to your bathhouse in 1 week. All can be purchased at the same time.
For 8000 bits, and 1 week of work from you or Sulfury, you may upgrade your lab to produce up to 10 potion a week.

Offers-you-can't-refuse currently on the table:
Mayor Goldfeather demands you provide him with a way to neutralize a big mare anypony could use. You have 2 more weeks left to provide the device Sulfury promised. You will be banned from Klugetown if you fail.
Maafah demands you feed one potion to either Lissa or Aroka each week. The consequences of failing are still unknown…

Tide Novem continued working on Chaos Theory. She still needs 1 week to complete the research.

Sulfury continues working on the bigslayer. She still need 1 week to produce the device. 

Swamp Lily won't be in town next week.


This week feels… longer than usual. Maybe it’s just an impression though.

Your mares are positively delighted by the private pool they can enjoy at any time. Everypony choses to use the new facilities at their disposal several times a week. Even Coal Vein added a daily hot bath to conclude her training routine, which you happily share with her. You still haven’t found a breach in her concentration for you tickling revenge yet, however. Even while she relaxes, the dark mare keeps an eye on you.

You intended to have a talk with Ribbon this week. You fear Maafah may be influencing her right now. Unfortunately, you do not see Ribbons at all during the next days. As she told you, the giant snake mare went on an adventure, leaving Klugetown entirely. With her size, staying indoor would have been impossible anyway.

She returns on the end of the week, bringing you a huge amount of money in gold and jewels. How she acquired all that is a mystery.
“No need to pay me anything back!” She also tells you. “I have enough stuff of my own. I’ll rest at the bathhouse for now. That’s about the only place that can house me anymore!”

In order to find a match for him, Velvet Pillow has collected some information about your ingredient retailer. He’s the lonely kind of pony, and goes straight home every day when he closes his store. The changeling mare managed to convince a couple of her most loyal female clients to go and try to tease the colt a little.

He proved to be extremely shy in reaction. She isn’t sure what kind of pony he would get interested in. For now, you only talk Velvet Pillow out of organizing a surprise orgy at his place to get him to open up. She’s gonna try to go herself instead and introduce him to somepony this week. That's her plan for now at least.

It’s been a while, but you renovate rooms for four new employees. Butterswirl’s followers are happy to move in together, and your estate gets a bit livelier as there’s some ponies here who do not work at night, now.

One morning, you hear a loud Bang upstairs. Startled, you investigate, and find Summer Trot covered with the trace of an explosion. She’s unharmed, but looks like some big firecracker burst right in front of her face.
“Sorry.” The mare coughs a puff of smoke at this point. “I just booped myself…I mean, by accident. It’s alright, d-don’t worry!”
In your mind, Butterswirl whispers.

[spoiler]Summer Trot totally booped herself on purpose.[/spoiler]

Since gods and spirits are taking more and more space in your mind, you decide to study the cloth Maafah used to hide a dagger to the eyes of the Widow. After a bit of research, you think you’ve managed to identify what kind of process Maafah used at the time. It’s fairly simple, and you could produce decent quantities of the stuff for a fair price in little to no time. You can only make fabric like this, though, and not any other kind of material.

In the future, when they are larger, you may have Lissa and Aroka become the cuddle sluts of Klugetown. This position seemed humiliating enough in Maafah’s eyes, so you think she’ll appreciate. But this week, you have them accompany your crew to gather ingredients. Since they’re new at this, you’ll only get a small benefit though.

This week, you also decide to have Nails build Maafah’s shrine. On your command, the tan unicorn purchased an inconspicuous building in town to turn it into the opulent place of worship the trickster goddess asked for.

Soon you feel something is off though. Despite an obvious professional discipline, Nails and her workers always felt reasonably laid back as they worked. But for this project, you see everypony work themselves like crazy, starting as soon as the sun rise, and not taking any break until it sets. The construction of the shrine advances fast. The place is both beautiful and impressive, decorated with fine red and gold carvings in the woodwork that you didn’t know Nails wand her ponies were capable of. Still, this infernal rhythm takes a toll on their ponies. By the end of the week, they look like zombies as they still work with the same intensity.

“I don’t know Wizard…” Nails tells you one day, as you voice up your worries at seeing her so pale and confused. “It’s like there’s somepony else in my head. Suddenly I know exactly what I must build, and I feel some overwhelming sense of… I’m not sure… purpose, like I’m part of something bigger and wonderful as I work to bring in into reality. This is messing me up I think.” She shivers at this point, an expression of dread on her face. “But I can’t stop. No no no… I must finish this shrine.”

And finish the shrine, they do. The octagon-shaped, 40-feet across room is magnificent, with red velvet covering the ground and scarlet silk hangings coming down to a pony’s eye. In the center of the sanctuary, the golden altar shaped like an 8-branced star oozes with some red liquid coming from its top. Colored water according to Nails, but it certainly looks like something else. There’s an overwhelming feeling of sensuality, but also of occult power to this place. Golden interlaced motives of Maafas’s cutie mark adorn the cloth and walls, making it clear whom this shrine belongs to.
In this place too, your connection with Butterswirl has no power.

Even before the shrine is finished, Maafah’s room at your estate gradually loses its dreadful ambiance. The light seems to illuminate the place once more in the day, and the bedsheet turn back to a dull brown once more.

When the works are finished, you come one last time to check if Maafah’s presence left this place. You were examining the room when the goddess’s looming presence overshadows you, the trickster voice whispering in your ears.
“Well done, Wizard.” She purrs. “Come to my new home in your city with your two toys next time you have the occasion. It’s time we talked about your reward…”

And before your eyes, the room finishes to turn back to normal, purged of any unnatural presence. Even the spiders vanished into thin air.

The mood is getting a little strange these days. Between the twin Roses, Ribbons and Canopy Veil, immense giantesses have taken control of Klugetown. Not literally, but their presence has become impossible to ignore. The population has split between those who've welcomed their presence, and the ones try to ignore and avoid them for whatever reason. Goldfeather and his guards have become rather discreet in front of them, your mares tell you. Rose even start to suspect the mayor may have left town already.

The part of the Klugetown which embraced the presence of giantesses is getting more and more visible too. In addition to their regular work, your mares are very often asked for all kind favors. Helping some construction works, carrying a group of ponies across town in no time, or even being the mediator in arguments. It's true nopony's gonna act up when somepony like Coal Vein… or much bigger is around.

Their initial activity has also become somewhat more of a public thing. Since mares like Canopy Veil can't fit in any building without Tide Novem, the weekly show happened in the vicinity of the city this time. The whole city could witness how gigantic your mares had become, and even without Velvet Pillow's spell, the sight, the sounds, the overwhelming sexual presence or your mares transformed their audience into a shameless crowd of luscious ponies. They no longer resist wish to their desires after witnessing monuments of power and beauty share their sensuality freely in the open.

Maybe it's because of she got working eyes back, but Canopy Veil has decided to take a stance to help Oasis in a more significant manner. With the help of both Roses and Tide Novem, she provided enough milk to feed all the paupers of Klugetown, and probably for all those of Equestria too. If there were any milk producer anywhere in the city, they're definitely bankrupt now. In addition, and thanks to Tide Novem's ability to transform her host in an alicorn, the milk provided was also very efficient to relieve sick ponies from their smaller afflictions.

This comforted your mares' status in Klugetown as benevolent beings of grandeur. The reverence they get is getting rather close to actual worshipping in some cases. Surprisingly though, you're able to remain a rather discreet style of life, as ponies do not particularly take an interest in your person. They are aware, even if they don't know how, that you're the wizard who made all these mares gigantic, but they do not associate you with the changes they've seen in the city. You're way more boring to look at than a 50-foot mare, so you understand them. Butterswirl's followers being the notable exception of course.

Eventually, the week comes to an end.
However, Swamp Lily hasn't returned to your estate. She's usually back in the late evening before your day of rest, always at the same time, but now it's the morning and there's still no sign of her. You have no idea where she is.

Meanwhile, Sulfury has finished working on the bigslayer after pulling one last all-nighter.
"Use it wisely, Wizard" She tells you with a grim and tired tone as she gives you the wand of metal. "I hope things will go alright. It still feels weird to me that despite having goddesses and giantesses on our side, you're gonna give that thing to Goldfeather."
"Hm." You nod. "Don't worry. It should be alright. I've already added something to my potions that will protect everypony from that… device."
"Yeah, what Swamp Lily created. The potions you made this week are the first to have this perk, right?"
"Yeah."
"But you still have one week to deliver the device to Goldfeather, right? If you ask me, maybe wait for the deadline to give the mean pony his toy. You know, I'm starting to doubt the mayor actually has the means to boss you around so easily. Sure he has the potential be a pain in the ass, but he too has a lot to lose getting crossed with you and our building-sized friends. Anyway, these were just my two cents on the subject." Sulfury winks at you, before returning to her home for the day.

You also get a bit of a sad surprise in the morning, as Canopy Veil shrank back to 'only' 45 feet tall. The gift of chaos is a feeble thing it seems. Even though, she, the Twin Roses, as well as Ribbons added a couple more inches thanks to Natura growth.

This week : 9459 bits. - 27 (expanses) - 50(beauty products )- 2000 (potion mk14*2 + potion mk12) + 1000 (ingredients from ship) + 48 + (ingredients from Lissa and Aroka) - 200(crew wage/ fuel) – 6000(Maafah's shrine) – 800(Renovation room*4) + 867 (income from Velvet Pillow) + 728 (income from Coal Vein)+ 1611 (income from Rose) + 1594 (income from Rose) + 1564 (income from Canopy Veil) + 80 (Nails) +2541 (income from show) + 2654 (from Ribbons) – 239 (Rose's wage) – 237 (Rose's wage) – 249 (Canopy's's wage) -165(Velvet's wage) – 151(Coal's wage) =  11789 bits.

You made two mk14 potion this week and one mk 12. Since your potions are not that spectacular anymore, you had to convince Butterswirl to add some… uncertainty to you mk12 potion. That way you hope Maafah will be satisfied with the results.

Tide Novem has finished her research about Chaos Theory.
>Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble on one of your potions, add another random critical of fumble (respectively) among those you've already discovered

>What do?

There's many things on your mind. Swamp Lily being late, Maafah, your potions, and also Butterswirl. 

Since there's several things you wish to tell her, you ask Butter and Swirls to bring you in their realm. Soon, you find yourself in the ocean of blue sky with the two identical giantesses, standing at 224 feet and 1 inch tall. They loom over you, lying on their belly next to each other while a benevolent smile is visible on their humongous faces.

As you're still worried about Ribbon's bounty, you first decide to ask Butterswirl how she managed to find all this gold.
"Believe it or not, she fought a dragon in the forbidden jungle!" Butter tells you the story. "Well, fought… The poor little guy was only 30 feet tall, so he couldn't do anything. Ribbons ran him out of his cave and took his hoard. That was rather epic to watch!"

"Woah… she did?" You blurt in surprise. You suppose this isn't the worst thing that could have happenned, and after thinking about it a little, you suppose the chance of attacking these kinds of rogue dragon to have consequences for you is pretty low.

"Now, about something else, I'd like to make the two of you even bigger!" They both giggle at your declaration. "How should I process?"
At this point, though, the twin goddesses look a little unsure about themselves.
"I don't know…" Butter answers. "It is the effect of your last potion that gave us this power in the first place. So another one will probably override that. I have no idea how that would work actually, since we… switched dimensions somehow."

"That's a shame…" You pinch your lips. "Because Maafah's been causing a lot of trouble, and I wish you were strong enough to be able to hold against her."

"But… I don't wanna fight against Maafah." The 200 feet tall Butter looks away.
"Yeah, she's scary." Swirls sulks. "I don't think ever confronting her head-on is gonna work…"
"But maybe we can change her for the better!" Butter suggests. "I mean… I know you've been trying, and that it didn't end up well but I believe there's still hope! We'll do everything we can to help you reveal her good side, Wizard! Just ask us what you need in time."

"But you're goddesses now!" You say. "Can't you do like her and increase your power? Can you try stealing size from ponies?"

"We could probably lend our power to grow somepony, but stealing size…" Swirls winces. "That would just be wrong. We can't do that, Wizard."
"We will protect you no matter what Wizard." Butter adds. "But please, do everything you can to change thing for the better without confrontation. As our high priest, you have to be extra nice, remember?" She winks at you.

>What do?

"I fear confrontation is inevitable, but I'll do my best to be nice for you." You smile. "I'll keep my guard up, though. By the way, do you know anything about the champion of the Empress? Lissa and Aroka told me she was still free from Maafah's influence."

"Sorry, I know nothing about that zebra." Butters shakes her head "Heck, I'm not even sure it's actually a zebra! I just have no clue about how I could even search for her..."

"That's too bad. Almost as bad as the fact I won't be able to change and grow the beautiful twin goddesses love so dearly even more."
"Aww. Don't worry. I'm sure you could find a way!" Butter's giant face come down to carefully give you a nuzzle, but no matter how soft she tries to be, at her size you're pushed away by the soft wall of pony cheek.

"She's right." Swirls adds. "Once you research is done, I bet you'll be able to grow us as big as you wish!"
"As big as I wish…" Your imagination starts to race, imagining the twin Butterswirls looming over the world, so gigantic they could crush the puny Widow under a single of their hooves… Just the thought make you hard.

Of course, Butter and Swirls saw your little fantasy, and they both added a dozen feet of height to their incredible body while they give you a luscious smile. Swirls lowers her head, and smothers you with a massive kiss. You're trapped between her warm and plump lips, which covers your whole body while a little moan of her makes your being vibrate with desire.
"In time Wizard." You hear Butter's voice "How about this? We'll stop it here for today, but we will have the biggest fun you can imagine once you've found how to make us bigger again. Take this as your holy challenge, Wizard!"

Before you realize it, the softness of Swirls' lips all around you fades out of reality, and you're back to your estate. You're a little frustrated too, but feel eager to complete the challenge the twin goddesses issued to you.

>hat do?

For now, you'll proceed with growing your mares. You have some potion to hand out after all!

Your group motions to the edge of the city, and quite the number of onlookers came along to witness the miracle.

And the first to get her potion is Coal Vein. The grey mare accepts the vial without question, and start to drink.

At a little more than 17 inches, Coal Vein was still among the mares which were still somewhat manageable in size. A long-gone reality, as the earth pony start to expand really fast.
Remembering how gigantic Canopy got last time, Coal trots toward the desert as her body grows. It is a strange sight, as despite her going away, her frame looks increasingly larger, breaking the 25 feet, then 40 feet marks in a dozen seconds. And her behind inflates more than the rest too. You still haven't decided to inhibit any butt effect, and your mares will keep getting almost comical proportions to their rump from your potions. Although, just like always, the dark mare gets her share of booty in pure muscle. While it still looks a bit disproportionate, Coal rump clearly balloons with steel-like muscle. She looks like she took a massive amount of roids, with pulsating veins the size of an arm feeding the blood to the twin powerhouse that have become Coal Vein's buttocks while flare sharply at each side of her, but do not sage even a little.

At this point, you don't think there's anything on this planet these thighs couldn't crush already, but the dark mare keeps growing, reaching 60, then 80, and then breaking the 100 foot mark by 4 inches.
But the biggest spurt is yet to come…

Coal Vein lets out a deep moan of pleasure as the second wave of growth and pleasure hits her. She faces away from you, and you feel a pinch in your heart as she sits and start to masturbate while merely showing you her immense back. She grew a whole 50 feet in one go, and gained just as much size for the next one.

From what you've seen in the past, these experiences were very short but intense, and indeed the final wave of growth and pleasure hits the dark mare already.

"OOH. FUCK. YES!!" Her voice booms over the land as she practically doubles in size. For a second you think you might be in danger as Coal's 200 feet body, and growing, comes closer to you as her climax is imminent. She falls on her side, both her forehooves stuck on her sex, thus creating an earthquake which may or may not have displaced Klugetown by a few inches. Still, Coal Vein lets out a deep cry as she orgasms, now 370 feet and 4 inches tall, her body looking like a living mountain range.

As she descends from her orgasm, the mare turns to face you, panting, her face red, and a hazy look in her building sized eyes.
"I'm… pretty big…" Coal Vein lets out in a heated breath which resonates over the desert. She's the biggest mare you created.
Yet. And you have another potion right at hoof.

Rapidly glancing at your monitor, you confirm no critical effect has struck Coal Vein. She also got the gift of chaos from Butterswirl, making her much huger than what she should have been for now. The rest of the effects mean little in the end, as the only difference they make is making your mares bigger and bigger.

That was your first potion. For the second mk14, you thought about the self-booping mare, Summer trot. However, you remember you only have the potions from this week and from the next one to protect your mares against the bigslayer before having to give it to Goldfeather. If you do not intent to obey him anymore, this doesn't matter much, though.

>What do?

On second thought, you decide to give the next potion to velvet Pillow. You're almost sure you hear a few cheering ponies from the onlookers in reaction.

"Oooh! It's my turn? If I get nearly as large as Coal Vein, spreading love to all of Equestria would be a breeze! You're sure you don't want me to do that, Wizard?" The changeling asks you with a playful smile.
"You know, I can still give the potion to somepony else…"
"Aw, too bad… You don't know what you're missing on!" Velvet says, before drinking the potion.

However, a few seconds after the last gulp, her eyes go wide, and she start to cough violently.
You frown, as you know what this might mean.

"Eww…" Velvet Pillow winces as her belly start to gurgle ominously. "This one feels weird…"

She starts to grow. Velvet Pillow was already over 30 feet before, but her body start to get much larger. Her ridiculously large ass onlys fatter, looking like a mountain of jelly, although proportionally it stays the same as she get close to 40 feet tall, and still growing. However, what keeps Velvet's attention is her belly, which start to swell much faster than the rest of her.

Everybody is the whole desert could hear the ominous sounds of her guts churning, as Velvet soon looks like she's pregnant with a couple giant foals, but her belly doesn't stop at any reasonable size, as when Velvet reaches 50 feet, her paunch could house something like a dozen babies.

And it does't stop here. 
Velvet yelps as her underbelly touches the hot sand of the desert, and then start to push her leg appart… before lifting her off the ground in front of a shocked audience.

When she stops growing, Velvet's gut has become perfectly round, and just a feet short of being 60 feet wide. This is as large as she would be tall… if only her hooves could touch the ground. Instead, her limbs paddle uselessly against her belly, only making it wobble slightly. Between that and her overly huge buttocks, Velvet Pillow looks simply grotesque right now, as though oversized lumps of flesh were attached to her by some sick fetish wizard. 

Even her wings can propel Velvet Pillow off the ground and flap uselessly atop her. Velvet face looks increasingly distressed as she realizes she's only tiring herself out, and that she's effectively immobilized.
"Uh… A little help, please?" She pleads from atop her mountain of a gut.

Your device confirm Velvet hit a fumble.

>What do?

A good thing this happened now and not next week, since the upgrade Time Novem just discovered would have doubled that fumble. But for now, your device is clear. This is the only fumble.

You really wish you could give Velvet the last potion you have, but you'd rather not anger Maafah on purpose, even if she just said she was going to reward you for completing her shrine.

To assess the damage, you decide to climb the immense ball of a mare Velvet has become. With a powerful jump, you land immediately on the side of her protruding belly, just a few feet from her ribs. Velvet's bloated timmy radiates with incredible warmth, and her skin still feels supple under you. You feel like you're on the biggest water matters on earth, except this one is covered in a layer of soft fur and carries the pleasant smell of a pretty mare. Velvet turns her head to watch you, still worried. That's about the only thing she can do in her position.

"Well, that's one way to become a hive queen." You tell her with a tense smile. "Can you tell me if I should worry about you exploding in a million babies, or do you feel like it's just fat?"

"I don't know!" Velvet wails "I've never been pregnant. Or fat. I mean, not on the belly! This could be hot air inside me for all I know..." The changeling shift from the top of her gut, sending it wobbling up and down. It sloshes a little under you.
"Okay, not air, but water… But I don't think this is eggs." And in a last worried whisper "I hope..."

"You don't feel any different by the way?" You ask. "I mean, ehm… besides the obvious. New size"
"I feel… more than a little bloated." She sobs. "And I feel like I've just become some ugly freak…"
"Aww, don't you say that!" Canopy Veil says as she approaches, putting her hooves on the giant belly of Velvet Pillow so they can be at eye level with each other. "This only temporary. Everypony knows you're still the same beautiful mare. And besides, you fur is this just wonderfully as before."

On these words, the smiling chocolate mare starts to rub her hooves on the warm expense of Velvet's guts. She strokes hard, her hooves sinking quite a bit in the gigantic paunch, producing the raspy sound of fur against hove, but magnified several hundred times.

Velvet lets out a pleased sigh ns reaction, and this seems to soothe her for now.

Meanwhile, you try to think of a solution. You should probably take her someplace away from Klugetown for now.
Coal Vein, as always, comes down rather quickly from her sexual high, and comes to inspect the result of your latest potion with a neutral expression on her face. Even with her bloated belly, Coal Vein is still noticeable bigger than Velvet, and the dark mare's colossal backside makes it clear she'd have no problem carrying the bloated changeling around. You ask her if she can think of a comfortable place where Velvet could be displaced.

"Humph. I don't know either." Coal says as she probes the balloon that Velvet has become. "If I get some strap or something to carry her safely, I think I could make it for the ocean with her in a few hours. That's the only comfortable place I can think of for her. Somepony would have to stay with her too, if you don't intend to cure her before next week. Also…" She Looks away embarrassedly at this point. "…I could definitely make it in less than half an hour if I were as large as before."

>What do?

"Can you turn around?" You ask Coal, and she obeys without question. You get a good look at Coal's twin monolithic masses of pure mare muscle, as well as on her snatch nestled deep between them. Despite your potion, both Coal Vein's entrances have remained rather small, relatively speaking. Even with her disproportionate rump, and her maximum size of over 370 feet, the round form of Velvet is gonna be a really tight fit.

If you could confirm that Coal Vein is into really big insertions, maaaaaaaybe… 
But nah. If Coal's inner muscles are nearly as powerful as her legs, things could end up being really painfully, or even dangerous for Velvet's soft balloon of a belly.

"Alright. To the ocean, then. I'll bring you something to carry her." You tell the dark mare.
You abandon the reset of your mares for a few moments as you search for something Coal could use to carry the changeling. With Butterswirl's help, you magnify an old sail you bought for a few bits and bring it back to the edge of the city.

"Alright. Who's coming with us to stay with Velvet and take care of her?" You ask around your mares. "Don't worry, you'll both have the same income as this week."

"I'm gonna take up that offer since I'm going already." Coal declares. "I mean, unless somepony else really wants to."
Nopony has anything to say about Coal's decision.

"Alright then. Looks like we're ready to go. Do you want me to help you get to the ocean faster?" You ask the earth pony with a wide grin. "Or would you prefer somepony else?"
"Well…" She blushes. "If you think you can do it, I'll take your airship with me so you can return here later."

After these little preparations, you find yourself sitting on Coal's tail dock while Velvet is safely attached to the dark mare's back, holding you airship between her hooves. 
The hard and smooth expense of Coal Vein's coat pulses along her heartbeat. It is perceptibly even where you stand. Up close, her muscles seem radiate with heat and her deep and sour musk, but these soon lose themselves int eh wind as the giant mare start to run away in the desert.

Not waiting for you to grow her, she immediately takes up a light gallop… which already feel incredibly fast from your perspective. Your hooves clamped against the base of Coal's tail in reaction as the impossibly powerful muscles you stand on only revealed a fraction of their might.

In only a few seconds, Klugetown seems to be dwindling in the distance already.
But you could make the trip even faster… if you can push on Coal's right buttons. You're just gonna need to do that without falling off her running bod

>What do?

Getting between her legs is probably way too dangerous at this pace. So instead, you're test how the giant mare reacts to dirty talk.

With no chance of being heard by the galloping giantess from her rump, you teleport on top of Velvet, and then next to Coal Vein's ear. The wind on whips your face from here, and you have to anchor yourself on your massive steed to not bounce off her. The sight of the endless desert in front of is beautiful from up there.

So beautiful you almost forget you’re here to whisper sexy words in the ear of Coal Vein.

Now, what do you say to the quiet yetmuscular mare.

>What do?

Even though you're far from her naughty bits, your unicorn powers allow you to still stimulate her a little. You magic starts on the pillars of muscle that are her legs a thighs, probing closer and closer to her discreet flower.

Meanwhile, you start to talk in Coal's ear.
"You're one bad mare, you know?" You start. "Always taunting us with your perfect physique and moans of power. Do you think I haven't noticed? Do you think anypony didn't notice back there, when you gave a such a good show to everybody? Let me tell you, we all loved it. I even saw ponies getting themselves off to you. And you've left me pretty hot and bothered too actually."

As your words go in Coal's ear, you magic keeps running up her thighs to her most sensible regions. You can't be as precise as you wished without seeing what you do, but you think you're doing a good enough job at tickling the tips of Coal's black tits, and then circling around the edge of her marehood.

Even if she doesn't respond anything, you can feel the mare grow under you. The wind isn't strong enough to completely wash away her deep scent all around you as she now sweat more noticeably. Her breathing gets deeper, and stops being perfectly regular as she seems to lose a bit of her concertation. Ironically, you don't go much faster than before despite Coal Vein getting close to 150 feet in height, as her strides have become a little less efficient.
You're just gonna need to grow her much more then.

"It's not the first time you've taunted me with your perfect body, Coal Vein." You whisper lusciously "I think I just use training with you as an excuse to spend some time in your presence, to tell you the truth. Halfway through each workout, I can barely contain myself. The place become filled with you scent every time, and I dream about working out in your cave. And there I imagine your moans, and you pushing me to break my limits as I fuck you deep inside like nopony else can…"

Coal Vein reach 250 feet as you talk. Her ear alone is now large enough for you to comfortable lean inside without risking much. Her face is bright red, and your own words as well as the obvious arousal of the dark mare made you rock hard too.
"But instead, You've been a bad mare…" You continue, one of your hooves idly stroking your shaft, while your spell crackles against Coal's folds. "So naughty… always running away every time you got bigger, then finishing alone in the distance and making us watch. What a tease you are…"

Coal Vein has reached the incredible size of 300 feet at this point. You'll be at the shore in about twenty minutes if you can keep this pace up. That means you'll need to keep the dark mare hot, but not allow her to get a release.
On the other hoof, your dick feels more than ready to explore the inside of this mare. Maybe it's worth getting a little behind schedule…

>What do?

"I think my favorite thing about my potions is that I can see how worked up you are. No matter how much you try to hide it it's clear as day to everyone. Though it probably wouldn't be that hard to tell even without that…" You whisper the next sentence lewdly. "You're absolutely soaked down there aren't you? So wet you've probably been leaving a trail since town. If I didn't know better I'd think you were in heat." 
The dark mare responds nothing, only trying to focus on the road ahead. But still, she has reached 350 feet, almost her maximum size. The way is still quite long ahead, so you wonder how much she can take…

Without warning, you decide to unleash a powerful shock on Coal's right buttock, right on her cutie mark. She tries her best to ignore the strike, but can't refrain a groan of mixed pain and pleasure. She almost trips, but catches herself and get backs to a more stable rhythm after a couple of strides. She simply keeps speeding ahead, and doesn't utter any complain about you shocking her flank. You can only hear her loud, lust-filled breathing.

Despite being obviously aroused, Coal wants to play it like she can just ignore you it seems. At least, if you read the signs she's giving you right you. Anyway, if she didn't react after this, you can probably do about anything to her.
"How about this…" You whisper in her ear, while your spell gets back to gently circling her nether regions. "I'm gonna give you a twenty-minute challenge. I'm gonna keep you large and wet, and you're gonna behave. You'll prove you can control yourself and not be so quick to cum as we've seen you so far. And once we reach the beach, I'll go inside you and make you cum like never before. What do you say, Coal Vein?"
As always, no answer from the galloping mare. No protest either, so you'll take that as a yes.

"If you're just too close to going off, just say it." You add. "I'll go easy on you. But if you stop and cum before we arrive, I'm gonna need to punish you later. And you know I can get creative…"

With that said, you teleport to her tail dock again, which has become as large as a small cabin by itself. You will not get inside just yet, and instead you observe her giant snatch bellow.
It turns out Coal Vein looks just as wet as you supposed earlier. The streams of her juices are clearly visible on her inner thighs, which are they matted with sand along the rivers of arousal she produced.

As you promised Coal Vein, you start teasing her some more. Your magic gets to work on her sweet spots, sending small shocks all around her lips, clit and teats. Coal Vein is soon as big as she can get, the tireless running mare now standing at 370 feet and 4 inches tall. After a few minutes, her sex produces regular gushes of musky fluids, each time enough to crate a small oasis in the desert bellow. Desperate moans of pleasure also mix with her irregular exhalations, making it very clear she's very close from going off.

And yet, she says nothing…

A devious smile on your face as you unleash a blast of magic on her flank again, even more powerfull than the last. It hits her with the sounds of a thunderclap, which can only barely cover the orgasmic howl that escapes Coal's mouth much louder than any storm of Equestria. The mare rears in reaction, and her whole body tenses in the air for a split second.

But still, that wasn't enough to push her over the edge. And when her hooves hit the ground again, Coal decides to accelerate drastically. From an endurance run, the mare shifted to a desperate sprint to the finish. Even if the ocean is not yet in view, you're going so fast right now you think only a few minutes will suffice at this point. You dimly register Velvet letting out a cry of fear as she can't hold on anything, but the sail has her wrapped safely.
Meanwhile, the acceleration had you smooched against the dark mares's meaty dock, and even now the wind preassure makes it hard to perceive or move at all.

But still, you think you know where you could direct you magic to definitely push Coal Vein over the edge, and make her lose the challenge here and now…

>What do?

A wicked grin blooms on your face as you prepare to make Coal Vein bite the dust.
The mare is going so fast you have little time though. Immediately, you start using your magic to stimulate Velvet Pillow's crotch too. However, the inflated mare just keeps screaming and flailing her limbs around as she fears she will fall. Unlike Coal Vein, It doesn't even seem she noticed your doings. Looks like the changeling is not the kind to get horny when her life is in danger.

Anyway, the ocean is now in view. Coal Vein's wild ride took you out of the desert by this point, and the giant mare is now leaving a wide trail of destruction is the coastal scrubland, her titanic hooves leveling the ground and sending brambles trampled to splinters in their wake. You're maybe a mile away from the water, which at her size, represents a mere dozen strides for Coal Vein.
For a moment, you fear you might be to late to hinder Coal Vein, as you didn't manage to grow the inflated mare on her back at all. By as though some mischievous god had heard your plea, a blue glow suddenly surrounds Velvet Pillow while she's bouncing on Coal's back, and she instantly doubles in size… an doubles againg! 

"Woopsie!" You hear Butterswirl whisper in your mind. "I totally forgot to tell you about the Gift of opportunity! It's only gonna stay like that just for a short while, I guess it's too late to tell you to make good use of it!"

Velvet's round belly shadows Coal whole form, and when she comes crashing down on her, Coal's whole back is squished by the impossible weight of the 300 feet wide inflated mare. The dark mare lets out a pained gasp under the sudden massive weight on her, and trips. She miraculously manages to stay on her hooves, and even prevents Velvet to fall off from her, but she had to stop completely, a mere couple of hundred feet from the shore.

That's where you deliver the finally blow to the panting mare.
Sandwiched between the muscular back of Coal Vein and Velvet prodigiously soft bulk, you unleash the mother of all thunderclap to hit Coal's flank, all while sending pulses of pleasurable magic though her marehood and teats.
Even burried under tons of Velvet, you definitely hear Coal's howls of pure bliss, and feel the muscles under you spasm as she's rocked by an earth-shattering orgasm.

Your world turns around as Coal's legs give under her. Velvet is sent rolling away as the dark mare falls on her side, her front hooves desperately locked on her vagina as she keeps ridding her climax. For a dozen more seconds, and from very close this time, you witness Coal Vein going off from her back. You're only a few feet away from the 100-feet wall of muscles convulsing from intense pleasure, rivulets of sweat spreading the powerful yet feminine musc of Coal Vein in the ground and air. After you heard a torrent of cum gush from her vagina several times, the mare's moans finally seen to tire out. Her body seems to return to rest, and simply lift up and down along the rhythm of her deep breaths.

Also, you're only a couple hundred feet away from a beach, and definitely not in the water. Looks like Coal Vein lost the challenge.

>What do?

You let the mare pant alone for moment, just to let her enjoy her afterglow… but not for long. You teleport on her snout, a victorious grin on your face.

"That what really close." You tell her once you're sure her immense pupils are looking at you. "Couldn't you resist just a little more? Or did you actually want to lose and get punished…"
Coal's is still blushing, and only looks away in shame. For a moment you think there was something she wanted to say, but she renounces and seem to accept her loss.

"Come on now." You think you had your fun tormenting Coal Vein for now, and try to cheer her up a little "I still owe you a massage, and you could tell me to go anywhere you'd like on you. But we should take care of Velvet before she ends up rolling into the ocean on the wrong side."

Indeed, the changeling was half-buried in the sand when you find her. Only thanks to her massive butt did she not roll endlessly to Celestia know where. Coal puts the massive changeling back in a more comfortable position, and proceeds to accompany her in the deep water, where Velvet Pillow regain a semblance of movement as her limbs allow her to paddle slightly. As that point, she suddenly shrinks back to her previous size, roughly 60 feet in width.
The increase in size lasted for about 10 minutes. You should remember that if that Gift of opportunity shows up again.

Anyway, your ship was also miraculously unharmed, and you're able to wish the two mare a good vacation as you need to return to Klugetown. On the way, you ponder about what you'll be doing next and how. You still have a swamp mare to find, a trickster god to please, and a doomsday device to test. You'll be arriving home around noon you think. What should you start with when you arrive?

>What do?

Swamp Lily is gonna be the first on your list.
As soon as you arrive, you call Canopy Veil for help. Since she has accompanied the swamp mare in the past, and learnt to see beyond what her eyes showed, she's the perfect pony to call.

"You're right. She should be here already." The chocolate mare nods when you share your concerns about Swamp Lily. "She always seemed like she had mastered survival in the swamps, and I can't think of any other reason she would be late without warning us first. Something may have happened to her."
"So you're going with me?"
"Of course I am." Canopy nods with determination. "Let's not waste any time."

Ridding on the back on the 45-feet mare, you leave Klugetown, and descends bellow the sea of clouds though a path along the cliff. From the heat of the desert, you enter in a world of wet coolness that feel like it's sipping to your very bones.

Once you've finished climbing down, you can also see little from Canopy's back. As Swamp Lily once told you, the mist in the wetlands seems to swallow images and sounds alike. You can guess the forms of gnarled trees in the ocean of white mist when they're close enough, and hear the wet splotches of Canopy's steps on the muddy ground bellow, but that's it. Beyond that, the world shrank to you and the warm body the giantess you're ridding. You're very glad Canopy Veil is with you right now.

"I think it's best you stayed close to me, Wizard" She says. "I'm gonna follow the paths we used to take with Swamp Lily, and see if I can find her that way."
And so, Canopy Veil start to walk, leaving the cliff to the desert behind. Only a few minutes in, and you realize you'd be incapable of finding your way back to Klugetown on your own. Luckily, Canopy seems confident enough about the direction she takes.

You're not sure how longs will it take you to find Swamp Lily. Maybe you could use the moment to talk to Canopy Veil and get to know her better.
You remember your previous in-depth conversation with the chocolate mare. You were at a bar which music she liked, and it ended up with Canopy telling you she's convinced you're all about growing mares before anything else, but that she doesn't mind it since she likes the idea, and that you aren't a bad pony either.

>What do?

Just ridding on Canopy's back is making you hot and bothered. Sure, her muscles aren't nearly as impressive as Coal's, but her every little sway of her body beneath you is making your junk tingle. Maybe, for your own sake, you should have had your way with Coal Vein after all…
To take your mind off dirty thoughts, you decide to engage the conversation.

"Do you mind if we talk for a bit?"
"Sure." Canopy says, her eyes remaining focused on what's in front of her.
"Well… I first I just wanted to ask what you've been doing. Have you been getting used to your eyesight already? No problem?"

Canopy giggles in reaction.
"You're gonna say it's strange, but it's been a bit underwhelming so far. I'm not sure I can explain how that feels, but I've been used to go without my eyes for so long, I don't even feel like using them that much. I can spend a whole night with some clients, and feel them though their moves like I always do, and it's only when I leave them that I realize these little squiggly things I saw were actually them!"

"I'm still really glad, though." She continues. "I got somepony to start teaching me how to read with my eyes! I had some books of my own, but my collection was so limited… I got a whole new universe to read about now!" She exclaims cheerfully. "And magnifying glasses are a much easier way to see little things."

You smile to yourself in reaction. You're glad you could help Canopy Veil, and that she's happy with her condition.

"Also, I wanna thank you." You continue. "I mean, you single-handedly changing the town's attitude towards giant mares."
"Oh, come on Wizard." Canopy Veil chuckles again. "You're underestimating the rest or our friends. I mean, if somepony made giant mares into the more desirable thing in Klugetown, it has to be Rose. She literally seduced the town into loving us. Velvet Pillow isn't without merit either. She sure made ponies a lot more… comfortable around us."

"Also, this may sound foolish, but I'm thinking of keeping the device away from the mayor." You announce. "Maybe destroying it. Maybe leaving it in Butterswirl's care. As long as the people support us than we can live without fearing him. I know you're worried about your friends Canopy, but I'll grow any mare you want into a giantess if you want!"

Canopy remains silent for a moment, pondering about your words.

"Maybe the time has come, indeed." She finally says. "You're right. Goldfeather could choose to be a nuisance, but he can't win anymore. And altogether, there will probably never be any better occasion to make Klugetown a better place as a whole. So… If you've not giving that device to the mayor, I think it's time we took the measure of our place in Klugetown. And I mean that for you Wizard, but also for the rest of our giant friends. We have the means to turn this city to the right direction, and many ponies are publicly supporting us at this point."

"Wait, what do you intend to do?"
"Well, first I'll ask everypony at home about their thoughts, and then we'll take a stance with all those who agree. We're gonna ask the people of Klugetown what kind of city they want, and act in consequences. We have the means to offer something better to this city, and now is the time we used the power you gave us for the interest of everypony."

>What do?

"It almost sounds like we'd be ruling the town instead." You say with a tense chuckle.
"To tell you the truth, this feels more and more like an evidence to me." Canopy answers. "We're too big of a thing to ignore in Klugetown anymore because of our shear power. If ponies are supporting us, ruling the town is the simplest way to go."

"Because of our shear power…" You mutter to yourself. "I'd rather not have us become the next Goldfeather but with giant mares instead of giant money to impose out wills. We could do that in fact… but we absolutely must not become what we're fighting!"
"Don't worry. You've always been on the right track about that, Wizard." Canopy turns her head to show you a smile. "Even though you wish to turn all the mares into beautiful giantesses, you made sure you never forced anypony on that path… even if you still tried to convince them will all your passion. I think that's the way of doing this. And seeing how the townsponies look up at us these day, I dare say that part of the work is already done. We just have to find a way to make it official."

Making it official… a whole city governed by giant mares? You're not sure how you're feeling about this. 'Aroused' is probably not so far of the answer. You just hope all this big politics aren't gonna keep you away from brewing more potions.

"I'm probably going to have to spend a lot of money to bribe ponies. If we can pay off all Gold's goons he can't do anything."
"Well… I'm not sure about the details, but Goldfeather isn't paying his ponies a whole fortune. I don't think that'll be necessary to out-money him anyway. When half a dozen building-sized ponies against them, I don't think any amount of money will…" Canopy stops in her tracks at this point. "Hold on. I'm feeling something."

The chocolate mare starts trotting. After a few seconds, some sort of makeshift hut starts to be visible. It's covered in mud and ferns, and you probably wouldn't have noticed it if not for the orange glimmer of a fire coming from inside
"She's in there, Wizard." Canopy says. "Well, somepony is. Can you check?"

You jump of Canopy, and wince as you find yourself covered in mud up to your knees. The ground is a bit more level next the shelter. Poking your head inside, you immediately find the mare you were looking for.
Swamp Lily is lying on one big leaf, immobile next to a fire. As you approach her, you immediately notice she isn't looking well at all. Her face is red, and her coat is matted with sweat. Her breathes are weak and hoarse. As you suspected, a closer inspection reveals she's burning with fever, but you also notice a good number of scratches, as well as a dozen insects bites everywhere on her body. Everything looks like it has been treated with some peach-colored ointment at least.

"Swamp Lily..." You whisper to her, but even then, she doesn't wake up from her feverish sleep.

>What do?

There's no need to overthink at this point. You take the sick mare on your back, and run back to Klugetown with Canopy.

You install the mare in the common room for now, so ponies may watch over her. Even if they didn't get to know her much, the ponies around you are really shocked to see the swamp mare so diminished. Swamp Lily remained unconscious for the whole trip, and still hasn't moved an inch. Her breathing is still weak, but at least her condition seems stable.

To heal her, the most efficient option would be to use your remaining growth potion. Butterswirl could easily cancel her random addition, but Swamp explicitly stated she didn't want to be grown. Other than that, there's alicorn milk from any of your mares, which may be helpful. The other options involve calling a doctor for help.

>What do?

You do everything you can think of the help to mare. You make sure she has enough blankets to keep her from the cold and prepare anything she may want when she wakes up. You search for any kind of medicine you may have, but find nothing beyond aspirin and skin care.

You do no wish to call somepony from the outside either, so you think the best is to give Swamp Lily some Canopy's miracle cure. But even at only 15 feet tall with Tide Novem, the chocolate mare's mighty teat is too har for Swamp too suckle from. Especially since she's still unconscious.

In the heat of the moment, you decide you'll be doing the suckling in the name of the swamp mare. Filling you mouth with Canopy's creamy deliciousness, you then elevate Swamp Lily's head then lock lips with her to make sure nothing gets dropped. You release the miracle liquid in small amounts, and she swallows reflexively in reaction without trouble. Along the milk's deep aromas of mint and peach, you start to taste Swamp Lily mouth too, the hints of cinnamon and grassy spices from a forgotten past filling your own mouth.

After taking another mouthful from Canopy, you feed it to Swamp Lily in the same manner. But while you do, you feel her legs twitch, and then the mare's reddened eyes ever-so-slowly open while your mouths are still connected.

>What do?

You pretend to not notice she woke up, at least until least until you've finished feeding her this mouthful. Either Swamp Lily is still too confused to control her body, or she simply accepts what you're doing with her. When you're done feeding her, her lips linger on yours as she tries to suckle more from you mouth, and your lips leave each other with a little wet pop.

You allow Swamp Lily to lie on her back again. She keeps looking at you in silence for few seconds, before glancing around.
"You've brought me to your home?" She lets out in a tired whisper. "What a nice surprise, to wake up surrounded with friends."

"Swamp Lily. Y-you're awake?" You keep acting like you just notice, but you see a meek smirk appear on Lily's face in reaction. "What happened? Are you alright? Well… obviously not you're sick but how did this happen?"

"Ah… it's nothing." She slowly shakes her head. "Ponies get sick. That happens, you know?"
You keep your doubts to yourself for now.

"Anyway, I was thinking about having Tide Novem take care on you." You say. "I know you said you didn't want to get bigger, but making you alicorn for some time could really help you get on your hooves much faster. We could do it somewhere private if you'd prefer."
Swamp Lilly listens to your pleas, but doesn't seem convinced.

"I thank you for the offer, Wizard, but no. The worst has passed, and I can already feel what you gave helping my body get better. I only need some rest now. There's no need for any transformation… unless you demand I am ready for work tomorrow morning." She adds with a little smirk.

>What do?

"Watch out. It is very tempting to have you ready for work early." You return her cheeky smile. "So when you say that, I may think you want me to force you to grow. That, or you just want to babied a little longer."
"Ah… a single day of rest, and already I am profiting of your kindness beyond reason…" Swamp chuckles weakly. "What a tyrant you are, Wizard."

"Anyway you can sleep in tomorrow if that's your choice. I can understand you'd like to get better the natural way. I won’t make you work until you get better. Also, do you want some more milk?"

"Mmh." She nods, and carefully sits up. You have Canopy milk herself a little so Swamp Lily can drink from a glass. The chocolate makes lets out an embarrassed chuckle as the process makes her grow an additional foot of height, but thakns to that Swamp can chug down a tall glass on her creamy elixir, and even keep a jug next to the bed you installed in the common room for her so she may have some more later.

"And if you need anything… Blankets, some cold water, a warm body next to you… I'll be around to check on you." You say jokingly, but Swamp Lily decidse otherwise.
"Canopy Veil?" She turns to giant mare "Would you accept to keep me company? I would find rest much easier if I could feel a wonderful pony like yourself watching over me."

The chocolate mare is a little surprised, but accepts. She lies on her side on the couch next to Lily's bed. She positions her snout just above Lily's pillow, and her hooves over her body. You're a bit jealous of the swamp mare who earnestly nuzzles her head against Canopy's chin right now, but unfortunately you have some more business on your plate.

Indeed, Maafah invited you to come to her new sanctuary to 'reward' you, and you also planned to give your remaining mk12 potion to either Lissa or Aroka to honor the deal you made with the trickster goddess last week. You're not sure in which order you should do these.

>What do?

You decide to first give a potion to Lissa and Aroka. They look worriedly at each other when you ask them who will have to drink it. Since they do not want to make a decision, you have them play spin the potion.
In the end, Lissa is designated to drink the magic brew.

The zebra mare hesitates, but the spell of Maafah doesn't allow her to back away from this.
Her body starts to grow. Form the stature of a regular mare, Lissa soon has to look down on her friend, and on all the other regular ponies of Equestria. Still, she's visibly afraid, and keeps her eyes shut the whole time, like she expects something to hit her very soon. A feeling you can understand.

However, nothing comes. Lissa soon finishes to grow and reaches 41 feet and 1 inch, and she's looking as fine as ever. Even finer you would say, as her bottom became a lot juicier too. But no evil power comes to steal away the size she gained, and perhaps even more strangely, the weird effects Butterswirl intended don't seem to happen either, much to Butterswirl's confusion.

Lissa even undergoes the second wave of growth which brings her to over 144 feet in height. She reluctantly enjoys her climax, fearing the worst may come right after, but once again… nothing. While she shrinks back to her previous height, Lissa worriedly looks around her for a threat that doesn’t seem to be coming for her.

>What do?

You feared Butterswirl’s influence on your potions might not persist in Maafah’s sanctuary, but right away like that… Her curse is more powerful than you thought.

“Are you feeling alright?” You ask the zebra mare. “Do you feel any different? I mean, besides the new size of course.”
“No, not yet. I’m scared… but besides that by body…” She looks around, and carefully rises on her hooves. She looks at her new body in a mix of awe and apprehension, even probing her new improved and imposing backside. “It’s feeling great. But there has to be a catch, right?”

“Not all my potions strike any odd effect actually." You attempt to ease her up a little. “So you don’t have to worry even if there’s no change beyond the growth.”
“But you… The Widow wanted you to torment us, so if nothing strange happens to me, she won’t be satisfied, and she will get angry!”
“Eh…” You shrug, trying to minimize the danger. “She doesn’t have to get angry all the time. I’m sure she’ll be satisfied with taking size from you when we go meet her. And, speaking of which…” You pause, thinking about how to phrase that without triggering Maafah’s curse of obedience. “If I were to become a giant, there’s certainly things I’d like to do right away. Especially in the event I had to meet with a certain trickster goddess an hour later.”

Lissa seems to take the hint, but only looks at the horizon with melancholy.
“If I were home, there’s much I would do…” she whispers. “But right now, there’s nothing meaningful I can think about. Can we get done with this?”

>What do?

"I don't understand. Do you not want to be a giantess?" Now you kinda hope Maafah would take the hint. "I've never considered that possibility. Even someone as reluctant to growth as Swamp Lily has shown an interest in being huge. Maybe... Would it be a better punishment to keep you this size then?" You say to absolutely nopony in particular.

Lissa only sighs, not following you on this one.
"I just know this size doesn’t belong to me. I can't just put aside the… why I am so big. I would be thrilled I were home, with my family. My mother and sisters would be so proud…"

>What do?

"I'm sure they are all proud of you even without the extra size." You pat Lissa's pillar on a leg in compassion. "And maybe one day, they will see you as big as you are right now. My dream is to make the mares all over the world as huge as they deserve to be after all! That's also why I really don't like the idea of seeing you shrink. I may have a plan for next time so you may remain large for much longer." You give Lissa a wink and a smile.

The zebra giantess gives you a strange look in return. She worked for you this week, and although you tried to show her you're on her side, she isn't convinced yet somepony who has the favors of the Widow will not turn on her.

After that, it is time for you to meet with Maafah. You walk to her sanctuary with the two zebras in tow. On the way, you talk with Lissa and Aroka about what happened to their home. It's hard for them to talk about it, but you wish to know more about what Maafah in particular is up to right now. You know she crushed the resistance with her own hooves, but nothing after that. You kinda expected to for her to show off her god-like body to the world, but you learn her appearances were rather rare in person actually.

Instead, she let her followers take care of the occupation of the zebra lands. She encourages them to compete for the her favor. Aroka tells you the followers would challenge, fight, or even backstab each other to steal the size of one another, to prove they were the most deserving of Maafah's followers.
You wince in reaction. You hoped Maafah may have been searching for approval, which may have been a way for you to reason her, but nothing of the like is apparent in what you just heard. 

Despite being open to the public, Maafah's shrine is still empty when you arrive. Once Lissa manages to squeeze herself in, lights seems to go out on their own. After only a few seconds, you find yourself in Maafah's realm once more, her gargantuan form looking down on you.

"Growth Wizard. What a pleasure." She purrs, a toothy grin on her face. "It took you some time, but I have to admit the shrine you had built for me is a real wonder. What a pleasure to get gifts that are worthy of my stature!"

>What do?

"Don't be so modest." You say with a polite bow. Since you're hoping to actually profit from this encounter, you're more eager to act deferent to the trickster goddess.
"I merely provided the materials. I'm pretty sure you had a hoof in making this place so beautiful. So there's no need to thank me for something you worked for. It was no problem for me, even though Nails and her workers ended up rather exhausted."
"They earned their rest." Maafah states. "And they should be glad. Maybe they'll be able to build works of beauty in the future, instead of lowly utilitarian constructions."

"That's too much honor for them." You add. "Or for me. It must be hard to receive presents when you already have so much, my goddess."
Maafah shows a satisfied smirk in reaction to your flattery. And since she doesn't speak…

"I hope you are doing well this week." You continue. "Last week, I grew worried when you told me you were running out of ideas to entertain yourself. Have you found a healthy outlet for your boredom?"
"Yes. I have…" she answers with a devious smile.

You turn around at Lissa's panicked gasp. The 40-foot-tall mare has started sinking in the ground under the horrified looks of Aroka. In only a few seconds, she's swallowed by the darkness, and you can't hear her at all anymore.
"… in time you will see the results. Also, the other one…" You think Maafah's talking about Aroka. "I don't care about her anymore. You can do whatever you want with her, or even let her go free. Whichever you prefer. I am in a good enough mood to overlook your altruistic impulses today, Wizard."

You make you best to keep a straight face.
"I… can't wait to see these results. Now, onto business. My goddess, I'll admit your promise of a reward has piqued my curiosity…"

"Of course…" She smirks. "First, this is yours."
A small tendril of darkness emerges from the ground, presenting a hoof-sized cubic box to you. You take the container that looks like a black ring box, and decide to open it right away.
Inside, you're surprised to find… a miniature Goldfeather. An inch tall in size, you barely hear as he gasps at your sight. The tiny middle-aged pegasus falls on his back, looking at you with utter feat in his eyes.

"Can you believe it?" Maafah chuckles. "This little coward thought leaving town with his hoard was the safest way to go after you grew your friends over the 50-foot mark, two weeks ago. I'm glad I kept an eye on this city, or this pathetic thing would have exited the scene in the most unsatisfying way possible."

Maafah leans closer to you, her hot breath washing all over you as she speaks.
"Now, like I said, he's yours. What are you going to do with him?"

>What do?

“He has hurt a lot of ponies.” You comment as you close the little box for now. “And many would like to get their hooves on him for revenge. But I suppose that would too boring… I’m not sure what I will do with him yet. Maybe he would be good enough as an advisor on certain topics, or maybe he’ll serve better as a pillow for some of my smaller friends.”

“Anyway thank you for grabbing him.” You extend you hoof to hug the bottom of Maafah’s chin. The ascended zebra’s fur feels eerily mild and sleek. “You really took a thorn off my side.”
“My, what a lovely stallion you are today, Wizard.” Maafah says. “Perhaps I should reward you more often…”

“But… Would you tell me what happened to Lissa?” You ask at this point.  “Seeing her disappear into the ground was rather… I mean, I've been quite satisfying with her this week. Can I hope to see her again."

“Oh, you will see her again…” Maafah chuckles, and you feel Aroka cower behind you as the trickster goddess shows you a predatory grin. “My new shrine needs a priestess. This zebra did ask to serve me when she begged for mercy I recall. So I will train her hooves-on until she’s ready.”

“Now, there’s something else I’d like to gift you Wizard.” Maafah continues, sitting up to look at you from above “I’m gonna make an offer to you that you may accept or not. And this offers stands for all the mares of this city as well, but you’ll be free to notice whoever you wish.”

“If you accept, Wizard, I will grant to you the power I use to control the masses. The miracle you saw when I first subjugated the desert tribes is within your reach, should you merely wish for it. The inner workings of this magic are quite simple in reality. It broadcasts your basic emotions to those around you, and they will feel your pleasure, your satisfaction or even your disappointment as their own. This sounds harmless enough as a concept, doesn’t it? But when a larger pony uses such magic, these feelings are felt as many times by the smaller ones as the caster is greater than them, to the point the slightest satisfaction of a pony like me feels like a taste of paradise to those I command, while my disappointment turns into a feeling worse than any agony.”

“What better reward, than to feel the satisfaction of the one you serve many times over?” Maafah solemnly raise her hooves to the sunless sky of her space. “What better way to encourage them to make you even greater? Ponies love to be controlled in such delightful ways. To the point they would fall in great despair if I ever freed my servants from these overwhelming pleasures!”

“So… what do you think, Wizard? As I told you, this offer stands for all the mares who will come to my shrine. That way, the greater of them could finally get the worship they deserve… if somepony choose to tell them about my bargain of course. Now, these ponies would have their own size to subjugate others, but you Wizard...” Maafah shows you a wicked grin. “You would use mine. Ponies would look up to you as though my greatness was yours. With that power, nopony on Equestria would ever have the nerves to oppose your will. This is the power I offer you.”
“Now, Wizard. This is the only time I am giving you this occasion. Do you accept my power?”

>What do?

"I thank you for such a generous offer, but I will have to refuse." You declare. "I simply wouldn't be able to put aside the thoughts that the pleasure other ponies feel would be fake since they would have been robbed of their free will in a sense. My mortal feeling would prevent me to use so much power in a good manner I'm affraid."
"A disappointing answer." Maafah slowly shakes her head. "But ultimately, not a surprising one."

"I am but a mortal driven by lust and foolishness." You bow in apology. "And I find myself enjoying the variety of emotions I witness from growing many different mares. I'm sure you could find a pony with more adequate morels that I have to wield such magic."
"I hope you understand this decision is final." Maafah says. "Now, this is everything I wished to tell you. Is there anything you'd like to bring to my attention, Wizard?"

"Well… It feels a little awkward asking this, but since I just refused unlimited power, can I get a hug instead?"
The 500-foot tall mare gives you a quizzical look for a second, but then, she presents one of her gargantuan hoof for you to climb on. You gingerly hop on and then the goddess proceeds to carefully press you on her chest.

Her ebon body is a little milder than the one of an average pony, and the skin of her frog on your back has the luxurious feel of snake's skin. As you put you ear against her, you do not hear Maafah's heart, but an infinity of dull skittering and buzzing sound, as though you were listening to the most gigantic beehive of the world. You were a little startled at first, but as nothing comes to bite you while the trickster goddess gently presses you against her, the sounds end up soothing you. In the end, it is life like any else that you hear thriving behind Maafah's skin.

"You are a living enigma to me, Wizard." You hear Maafah mutter. "I offer you the power to bend anypony to your will, but you'd rather request a simple hug from me. It's almost like you can't recognize the inherent value of power. I want you to know this, Wizard. If you had the slighter hunger for greatness in you rather than a blind passion for altruism, you could very well be at my place today. It is entirely your blind altruism and your stubbornness to refuse opportunities that brought me as high as I stand, while you remained grounded among mortals. With your capacities… we could have been ruling this world together, Wizard…"

>What do?

"We could have. We still could, but… You're an enigma too, Maafah." You answer. "It seems every time I try to get close, you find a new way of pushing me away. I know the mare I saw in you is in there somewhere. But this you is taking the name Widow far too literally."
"Right now, I am everything I wished I was when I first met you, Wizard." She whispers dolefully. "I can have everything I wish for, because you gave this power to me. But now I also want you, but somewhat that's the only thing I couldn't get for myself."

There, Maafah decides to carefully return you to the ground.

"How odd… I might have just understood what you meant, when you said you couldn't stand the fakeness feelings of ponies around you." She says. "I need to think about this…"

On these words, Maafah stands up, and start to walk away. Her hoofsteps echo in the void, then her forms fades in the distance while the reality of her sanctuary appears in front of you and Aroka again. The place is eerily quiet.

>What do?

You return home with Aroka. Between ridding Coal Vein to the ocean, finding Swamp Lily and now this, the sun is now setting on Klugetown, and you're tired after this long day.

"Okay, did you promise anything else to Maafah while begging through your life?" You ask the zebra mare on the way.
"Well…" Aroka looks to the ground in shame. "I can't remember well. We were terrified, but… I dare say I didn't promise anything while I was held captive. Lissa on the other hoof…"

You wince, and do not push the matter further. Maafah would probably have done the same thing without the vague consent of a pony begging to be spared.

When you're back to your estate, the rest of your friends aren't here. Since you didn't see them over the rooftops, they're probably at the bathhouse. There's only Tide Novem here, and Swamp Lily sleeping soundly in her bed. Her rest seems much quitter than when you found her.
You also still have Goldfeather in his little box.

>What do?

"Tide Novem, where is Canopy." You as the little goo pony. "I thought she was watching over Swamp Lily."
"She went with everypony to the bathhouse." The potion alicorn answers. "Swamp Lily has been sleeping for hours, and her conditions seems better already, so she said it was okay if I stayed alone to watch over her."

>What do?

"Is there any specific reason they all went to the bathhouse together?"
"Actually, they were worried about you since you went to treat with Maafah. Especially Canopy and Rose. But then Ribbons came over her, and convinced everypony to go relax since there was nothing to do besides waiting."

Then, you better go reassure everypony. You think some time in the hot bath would be a good way to end this day too.

For 2000 bits each Nails may add a jacuzzi and/or a sauna to your bathhouse in 1 week. Both can be purchased at the same time.
For 8000 bits, and 1 week of work from you or Sulfury, you may upgrade your lab to produce up to 10 potion a week.

The bigslayer is in your possession.

Maafah shrunk mayor Goldfeather and handed him to you.

You are one fumble away to unlock the final growth magic you've been pursuing for all these years.

Swamp Lilly is in town this week, but she will rest.

Coal Vein and Velvet Pillow are currently enjoying some special vacation.

Tide Novem finished her research about Chaos Theory.
Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble on one of your potions, add another random critical of fumble (respectively) among those you've already discovered.

Available researches for Tide Novem :
>Bottom-up brewing : 3 weeks to research.
Instead of a regular potion, you may create a new type of brew by adding up any number of effects among those you've already discovered. Each effect added to the potion costs 50 bits. Crits and fumbles do not apply. The 6 inches of growth automatically added with each tier of potion counts as an effect. You can only add effects within the limit of how many you're discovered on a regular potion. (If you only have 3 increases of butt size in your regular potion, you cannot incorporate more than 3 increases of butt size in a bottom-up potion). A bottom-up potion will only override the particular effects of a regular potion if the bottom-up effects are stronger. A regular potion will override all bottom-up effects. 
>Effect reassignment : 2 weeks to research.
Whenever you brew a potion, you may permanently inhibit up to two effects of your choice to roll that many new ones.
>Critical purity : 2 weeks to research.
When a crit is rolled on a potion, all following fumbles on the same potion are rerolled. When a fumble is rolled, all following crits on the same potion are rerolled. Crits and fumbles make a potion glow respectively with a green or red aura.
>Basic enhancement : 1 week to research
Instead of automatically adding 6 inches for each tier on potion, a number of inches equal to the tier of the potion will be added instead.
>Power rerouting : 2 weeks to research
Tide Novem could discover this after the critical you found las week. Whenever you strike a critical or a fumble with this upgrade, it gets cancelled, but you get 5 basic effects to assign into whatever type of effect you want among those you have discovered already. (except the number of dice).
>Study : 1 week to research. 
You can tell Tide Novem to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.

Sulfury finished the bigslayer this week.
Available activities for Sulfury:
>Exploding Crits: 4 weeks to research. 
Sulfury think she can tap into the most powerful effects of your potions to enhance the rest of their effects. With this upgrade, whenever you get a crit or a fumble on one of your potions, you will roll as many more random effects than the potion originally rolled. Crits and fumbles rolled that way are dismissed.
>Chaotic Range: 1 week to research. 
Instead of rolling several dices, the growth range of a potion will be determined by a single random number, increasing the chance to strike the extreme ends of the growth range. (for example, instead of Rollin 4d12 for the growth range, a random number between 4 and 48 will be chosen).
>Critical Focus: 3 weeks to research. 
Sulfury thinks she can increase the chances for the most powerful effects of your potions to show up. Will double the chance to get a crit or fumble at each random effect rolled.
>Study: 1 week to research. 
You can tell Sulfury to study over something you want her to work on in particular. The next week, she'll tell you what ideas she could come up with, and add them to the list of possible researches.
>Boosted thrusters: 1 week and 1000 bits to produce.
Sulfury will add boosters on your ship so it can go VERY FAST.





You feel excited this week. Big changes happened, and they are only making the way for the real stuff.

Still, there’s some day to day events you like to see unfold.
Swamp Lily's recovery is going well. Whistlewind examined her, and confirmed a little more rest was all she needed. While Swamp Lily takes her week off, you still check on her quite often. Usually rather distant, you notice the swamp mare has become a lot more talkative with everypony around, and through the week, it become obvious she's also more eager for physical contact. 

First with Whistlewind. After she examined her, Swamp Lily asked the cloudy pegasus about her knowledge of medicine. They exchanged their methods about healing, but the conversation became a little less studious when Swamp Lily introduced the other mare to the use of pressure point in her medicine, inviting Whistlewind to use her hooves to feel the differences between their two bodies. Despite the clichés, the two mares playing doctors remained a lighthearted exchange. Whistlewind sounded genuinely impressed with what Swamp Lily, who never used a stetoscpoe in her life, could learn by only pressing her ear against the weightless pegasus’ chest. Wistlewind didn’t think much of how happy Swamp Lily looked when she measured her vitals hooves on.

Later this week and after a strange a wet explosion sound, you find the common room coated in custard. Swamp Lily is laughing out loud while Summer Trot covers her blushing face in embarrassment.
“What a delicious jest!” Swamp Lily declares between two chuckles. “I’m surprised you didn’t try this yet, Wizard. When she told me the nature of the blessing from your ascended friend, I couldn’t stop myself from trying, and booped right away! I say that was a good experience. I may try again in the future!”
At these words, Summer Trot lets out a little giggle, but doesn’t protest any more. Still, it’s Swamp Lily who diligently cleans the place after that.

Swamp Lily also asked Canopy Veil the same favor about sleeping in contact with a protecting giantess. Even though the swamp mare was obviously healed by the end of the week, the chocolate mare couldn’t bring herself to refuse her earnest appeals, but she doesn’t seem to mind anyway. Canopy even looks like she enjoys sharing her nights with Swamp Lily.

You have an idea to help the swamp mare feel more at home at your estate, by adding a little pond with plants native to the wetlands near her shack. You talk about this with Nails, and you also ask her about making your place bigger to accommodate the most gigantic of your mares.

“Well, you've got to tell me what you want, then!” Nails pouts. “Right now, Swamp’s shack is right behind the place. So to make it bigger, I’m gonna have to remove that. If you ask me, I say you could give her a room now. I mean, she has stopped smelling like rotten ferns, and most critters that were accompanying her have disappeared… or at least, they got better at being discreet. Also, I’m not sure there’s a point in making this place bigger. I mean… I don’t think I can build something big enough to be comfortable for a pony as huge as Coal Vein anymore. Not fast enough she wouldn’t have outgrown it by the time it’s ready anyway. You might as well try to get your hooves on some other places. You got enough leverage for that now, I reckon.”

It’s true. Canopy still fits inside her room with the help of Tide Novem, and both Roses can shrink at will, but mares over 50 feet tall like Velvet Pillow or Coal Vein right have no change of sleeping inside their rooms anymore. And that’s not limited to your estate, as there isn’t any place in Klugetown beside warehouses which are large enough to house your employees. It’s a good thing cold and heat have stopped being problems to them, with how thick their hides has become.
“Anyway, here’s that.” Nails concludes. “I’ll do the plumbing for free if you want a room for Swamp Lily that looks a bit like her home. Even if I’m not sure I can help you much anymore, keep pitching your ideas to me, Wizard. To be honest, regular constructions are probably not gonna be enough for your mares anymore, but if you ever get another kind of idea for some suitable places for giantesses, let me hear it. I’ll tell you if I can help building it…” She smirks “And how much it’s gonna cost you.”

This evening, you also find yourself sharing a cup of tea with Swamp Lily in the common room. On Swamp Lily’s wish, Canopy returned in the swamp to get her stuff, which included the infusion you're enjoying at the moment. The taste is rather atypical, with a sour and grassy taste in the mouth, but leaving a subtle aftertaste of wild flowers in the throat and nose, all while sending pleasant wave of vigor thorough the body as you drink it down.

“I’m glad we found you quickly the other day.” You idly tell her at some point “I still can’t believe you were in such a bad spot. Honestly, you always struck me as the kind of pony that would never get sick.”

Swamp Lily stares at her cup in silence for a moment.
“Well…” She starts, sounding a bit unsure. “There were some circumstances, to be really honest. You see, to protect ourselves from the pests, but also from the cold and other little hazards, it was a tradition for us to cover ourselves in mud and clay. We would cultivate this additional hide with special insects and worms from a young age to make it a living armor against the troubles of the swamps.”

You wince. You suspected this might have been the case actually, that washing the muddy crust off Swamp Lily’s body was the reason she fell ill. But hearing it from Lily’s mouth…
“Swamp Lily.” You shake your head in dismay. “I…” 
“I am not telling you this to blame you, Wizard. It’s the contrary.” The swamp mare smiles to you as she cuts you. “I was confused at the time, but it is very clear to me today. Between living in the wetlands, and staying with the ponies I like and love… I choose the later. I may be feeling a bit insecure, but with the ponies around me right now that isn't a problem.”

You feel your eyes go wide in reaction. After she made it a point her life was in the marshes, Swamp Lily now just announced you she wants to stay with you and your mares?!
“I’d prefer if we talked about the details later.” Swamp Lily says before you can ask anything. “I’m still feeling a little weak. I’m gonna abuse your generosity for a little longer, if you don’t mind.”
And on these words, the swamp mare returns to her bed for now.

You have big changes in mind for Klugetown now that you have Goldfeather in your pocket, literally… You only have to make sure everything stays under control.

Although Goldfeather had the title of mayor, Klugetown is no democracy. There has never been any kind of election as far as ponies can remember. The title was merely a euphemism for the town’s boss. The little mayor didn’t even collect any tax directly, but used the profit from his businesses and contracts to pay the guards.
 
After some… talking, you learn from Goldfeather about his many possessions. To cover for his disappearance, Goldfeather didn’t sell any of his building. He let directions to his underlings, so they could keep running the city for a while. They do not know their boss tried to flee the city according to Goldfeather. He pretended he had a long business trip to make. They might be starting to suspect something at this point, though.

For now, though, all of Goldfeather’s places are guarded. You only learn about a few caches he has built which you could use right now, but none of these places could house any big mare.
However, you learn Maafah attacked him while he was in an airship in the middle of the sea of clouds. He had all the raw money her could muster with him as he planned to flee to the Storm Kingdom with a couple of trusted servants. Canopy takes a day off, and with the help of Tide Novem, she searches for the shipwreck in the swamps. She’s able to find it, and returns with the former mayor’s formidable bounty. The servants were nowhere to be found, though. Maafah probably decided to keep these, unless they underwent an even grimmer fate…

Since you just got some insane amount of money, Canopy decides with your approval to focus on helping the city for the rest of the week. Since Goldfeather’s disappearance hasn’t been revealed yet, she thinks it’s a good time to go forward before the ambitions of other ponies come into play. With the twin Roses’ support, they’ve been encouraging as many ponies as they could to participate in Oasis’ actions. Rose and Rose even convinced Nails and her workers to invest themselves in the charity. As a result, hunger has completely disappeared from Klugetown by the end of the week and many houses were built to relieve the homeless.

However, there’s a bit of problem with that, as the dry land doesn’t give much resources unless you have the money for them. While using your own funds or making a business out of mare milk could help you (Canopy isn’t opposed to that idea, and even Rose has become a bit lenient with her strictly-from-the-tap rule, as there’s just so many thirsty ponies to feed), this feels a little too dependent on you and your employees’ presence to function indefinitely.

Instead, you have begun thinking about how you could use the power of giant mares to make this dry desert… into a beautiful and green country. That's what you're all discussing one evening.

“Transforming the land…” Canopy ponders aloud. “To think we’ve reached a point where we can realistically consider doing such a thing…”
“Well, it’s still far from easy.” Sulfury says. “I’m no expert, but the sand of a desert, even with water, doesn’t have the nutriments to grow much crops, right? Even if somepony decides to… ehm, drown the place in alicorn milk, I’m not sure that’s going to stick.”

“Then, rather than the desert, perhaps we should look to the wetlands bellow to provide for us.” Swamp Lily says. “With the help of a large enough pegasus, we could clear a part of the sea of clouds, and we certainly have the horsepower to drain some of the marshes in little time.”
“Huh.” Sulfury smirks. “Of all the possibilities, I didn’t expect you to offer that one.”

“The wetlands and the desert were two untamable forces of natures. If my people decided to adapt their lives to one of these harsh places, it is because they had no choice at the time. This time is gone, though, and now I must find another purpose for myself. I know more about the wetlands surrounding Klugetown than anypony else, and I think there's finally an opportunity for this knowledge to help the many once again.”

All possibilities are still on the table. However, setting such a plan in motion now would ubiquitously place your giantesses, you, and Oasis as the driving forces of Klugetown. You could certainly achieve the same result with a show of strength, though.

One day, you realize Aroka just ran away. You didn’t specify an answer when Maafah asked you what you wanted to do with her, and it seems the curse was broken. The zebra mare didn’t let anything that would allow you to find her back.

After spending a couple days lazing around the bathhouse, Ribbons decided to visit Coal Vein and Velvet Pillow. You do not hear from them again until the end of the week.

At the dawn of your day of rest, Canopy Veil wakes up as a 96 feet tall mare again. Butterswirl’s gift first grew, then shrunk, and now grew the chocolate mare again.

And soon, Ribbons comes back alongside Velvet Pillow, whose body still has its comical round shape, and Coal Vein… who seems to have doubled in size too. Butterswirl’s gift seems to have worked in her favor this week again, and the dark mare is standing at over 200 feet tall!
“Coal Vein, you’re…” You can barely pick up your jaw from the floor. A single of her hoof would be enough to flatten a whole house at this size, and a dozen city block could disappear if the dark mare ever chose once to sit her gargantuan rump in any inhabited area. As for Klugetown, a single buck of these almighty grey legs could without a doubt shatter the rock on which the city is perched, making it history in mere seconds.

“Yeah. I’m big.” Her calm voice echoes all over the desert, as she gently placed Velvet Pillow back to the ground. “I didn’t even need to get hot to come back this time.”
The mere thought of how big she would be when turned on makes you a little flustered already.

Compared to last week, Velvet looks much more comfortable with her situation. And as Coal places her on the ground, she shows her a grateful smile… which the dark mare answers with a little smirk of her own. Ribbons too seems looks at ease with both the changeling and the beefy mare.
You wonder what happened last week, while these three were by themselves…

You had Sulfury work on upgrading your lab this week. You may now produce up to 10 potion each week.

Tide Novem Started working on effect reassignment. She still needs 1 week tocomplete the research.

This week : 12789 bits - 27 (expanses) - 1600 (potion mk15, mk12, mk5) + 1000 (ingredients from ship) - 200(crew wage/ fuel) + 302666 (Goldfeather's bounty) – 8000(lab upgrade) – 239 (Rose's wage) – 237 (Rose's wage) – 249 (Canopy's's wage) -165(Velvet's wage) – 151(Coal's wage) =  305587 bits.


>What do?

"COAL VEIN JUST SIT ON ME!" You almost scream in a lust-filled haze. The sight of this titanic butt had your mind go blank, and you want in on your body RIGHT NOW.

The dark, mare tilt her head slightly in reaction, but then she obediently turns around. All the ponies still around you start to flee in panic to get out of the range of this mountain of an ass. Fools. More for you then!
Coal Vein's monumental flanks blot the sun from your view as they loom over you, but you only have a few seconds to witness this wonderful eclipse, as then Coal Vein sits. 

It fells like you're hit by a meteor. You feel the sand scratch your coat as this warm and muscular butt buries you inside the desert with a world-ending rumble. Coal's weight is unimaginable, and if you had any room to move or air to use, you would have screamed in utter agony. Any other pony would have been smashed to a pulp by this, but some good-willed god seem to be watching over you right now.

After a short moment, Coal Vein seems to be sitting properly all over you. You're pinned under her mountain of an ass, right on her asscheek. You feel the small layer of sweat she got from traveling in the desert, and her deep musk fill your nostrils. Now in a more stable position, you move your hooves as mush as the sand allows you, and stroke the mother of all butts as much as you can, feeling the taunt mare muscle over you and enjoying the faint, but unmissable pulse of her bloodstream.
If the pressure all over your body wasn't so great, you would probably have cum right on the spot.

But still, you have some other plans in mind. Before you run out of oxygen, you manage to slowly bring out the Bigslayer for an overdue test. With your magic you pull the trigger, and see a red glow behind your closed eyes.

Even with the wall of flesh all over you, you hear a pained grunt from Coal Vein. You instantly feel her skin slide inwards iver yours as she starts to shrink. Slowly you feel her weight ease over you. In only a dozen seconds, you see the sun again, and you now lie in one of two craters in the desert, a six feet tall Coal Vein still sitting on you. Her flanks are still large enough to cover you from neck to crotch, though.

Coal Vein seems dazed, and slightly in pain, but she lets out a relived sigh as she finishes to shrink. There, you realize you're in a perfect spot to start her punishment. With your hooves, you launch a merciless assault on the dark mare's sides. You tickle her for all you're worth, and the mare lets out a mix of a panicked gasp and chuckle, and immediately springs on her hooves, away from your tickler hoofsies.
"Do not do that again!" She barks at you, a startled look and a blush on her face.

"I'm afraid I still have to punish you, Coal." You declare with a devilish smile. "You didn't think I had forgotten, did you?"
The mare lets out a snort as she looks to the ground embarrassedly. Then, she turns and walks away.

Yes, Coal Vein's punishment. Your mout waters at the thought. Later, though. It's potion time.

First, you give the mk5 potion to Pollen Star, but also something else. So he realizes what he's been missing on, you give the inch-tall mayor to Pollen Star so he can feel the holy righteousness of growing mares.
"Ha! Even I wasn't this small!" The foal-sized grins at the bug-sized Goldfeather, which watches her in fear. Comparatively, even Pollen Star looks like a 100-foot-plus mare compared to him, and she's about to get much bigger.

The breezie had already added some inches over the week, but as she drink the potion, she finally reaches the size of an equestrian mare, and then surpasses it. The lithe equine grows to 5 feet and 11 inches, and also get a little more padding for her behind. Seeing a mare outgrow you is always making you feel good inside.

"Hehe, now that's some real size!" She grins, looking around her to her now smaller friends "You all knew pint-sized Pollen Star, now get ready for princess-sized Pollen StaaaaH!"
The big breezie moans in surprise as the second wave of growth hit her. Your potion already had this effect by this tier. Without thinking, she starts massaging her folds with her hoof… which was holding the shrunk mayor.

"Aaw yeah! That's not bad at all!" She grins as she reaches 7 feet, and uses the inch tall mayor to tease her clit. The tiny pegasus is only as tall as the little pink flesh bud. Fearful but calm until this point, Goldfeather here tries with all his strength to escape the breezie's grasp, thrashing his hooves on Pollen's button… which is exactly what she wants.

The breezie presses him harder against her sensitive part while arching her back, a heavenly smile on her face. And only a few moments later, she lets on a high-pitched moan as she climaxes, her pussy gushing out fluids on her hooves and on the sand. The tiny mayor is found in a puddle of mare juice, looking exhausted, dazed… but also with an erection. It seems he may be warming up to the power of giant mares after all…

Now, it's high time to cure Velvet from her weird condition. You give her the mk 15 potion, which she eagerly drinks right away.
The changeling lets out a pleased sigh as her mountainous gut starts to deflate almost instantly. However, the rest of her doesn't grow much. It's seems you've noticeably hit the lower part of the growth range for once.

"Ah! Back on earth again!" Velvet grins as her hooves touch the ground again. "Also… there's something else I can do again without help!"
Anticipating the second wave of growth, Velvet immediately starts to pleasure herself. The 59 feet and 3 inches tall changeling shows her cavernous pussy for all of Klugetown to see. She almost instantly starts to inch bigger, but the second wave of growth makes her explode with size. She doubles in height almost instantly, and doubles again a few second later. She's larger than Coal Vein would be right now, and the ocean of fat on her buttocks wobbling by yards at the slightest of her mooves. 

As she climaxes, Velvet lets out an ecstatic moan… and start to get even more gigantic! She cries in orgasmic pleasure, the earth shaking as she grows almost 100 more feet in a single pulse of a few seconds. Another ear-shattering cry of extasy, and Velvet Pillow breaks the 500 foot mark, and she's still not done. Lakes of mare juice shower the land, the sweet scent of Velvet's arousal filling the air for miles around. In one last cry, she adds another 100 feet to her frame, the desert grumbling under her impossibly huge bulk. After that, her body finally starts to relax as her orgasm die down, and the changeling lets out a satisfied sigh, loud enough to be heard all over the city.

"Do you like my gift of fun?" Butter asks from beneath your hat.
"Watch out though, you have to have fun responsively, or you'll destroy the planet! Okay?" Swirls adds.

You frown as you wonder what this could mean, but then you see Velvet Pillow, still enjoying her afterglow, isn't shrinking back for now. She's currently 610 feet and 10 inches. Comparatively, you're as tiny to her as a pony a third of an inch tall would be to a regular mare.

There's other things you had in mind to do immediately, but the sight of this mega-mare has made you mind go a little blank. You may need to reassrt your priorities. Still, you ask Butter to send a message to Aroka. A simple goodbye, and that you wish her luck for the future. She answers she'll search for the zebra and do that."

>What do?

"Sorry, but I'm gonna put the world in danger I think…" You answer Swirls. Then you turn to the rest on your friends, most of which look about as flustered as you are.
"Hey. I'm gonna… do some experiments with Velvet Pillow. Can somepony have Tide Novem ready in case things get out of hoof? Swamp Lily? Maybe you'd like to try being a giantess for once."

"Once again." She shakes her head. "I do not wish to wield power beyond me. I haven't renounced to all my vows yet… I'm sure somepony else would be able to use Tode Novem responsively."
"Huh…" You nod, a bit disappointed. "Whistlewind? Do you mind stopping us if we start to put the somepony in danger?"

"Hum… Yeah." She nods meekly. "But you wouldn't put anypony in danger, would you? I mean, I shouldn't have to intervene I think."
You give her a slightly tense smile in response. You're not sure you're gonna be able to control yourself actually.

"Alright, if anypony wanna come with me, feel free to join!"
Without waiting for an answer, you teleport next to Velvet's ear. The mare is still purring from her previous climax and rests on her side in the desert.

"Something you couldn't do without help?" Velvet probably can't see it, buy you smirk as you talk. "Nice to know what you and Coal were doing all last week. I thought I could feel the ground shaking, I guess we found out what that was."

Velvet Pillow chuckles in response.
"Well, when you're alone with some friends at our size, there's isn't much you can do to entertain yourself. So yeah, we did bond a little over the week, teehee…"

"Anyway, you look absolutely ravishing." You continue "Are you satisfied? Or do you feel in for a little more fun, because you've really got me going after your little show. I could go take care of your pussy if you want."
"Ah…" She moans. "You can try… but I think there somepony there already."

There, a pillar of a black hoof slams next to you. Coal Vein is straddling Velvet's neck, and looks a her with a shy, flustered smile. The changeling shift on her back in response, and starts to make out with the beefy mare. You hear them moan in unison, and the dark mare start to grow bigger while the changeling also hugs her.

Also, as you look back toward Velvet's flanks, you see the tip of Ribbons' tail sticking out and grasping a coil-full of the changeling's buttock. You can only imagine where Ribbons' head is right now…

>What do?

You've got no time to waste.

With a flash, you teleport yourself in a dark and wet space. You're immediately soaked by head-sized drops of Velvet's lust fluid. At this size, her snatch is like a cave, with several dozen feet to the ceiling. You feel the fleshy walls ripple in unison with her arousal all around you, and for a moment, you're not sure where to start with so much Velvet to satisfy.

But as this moment, in the storm of fluid splashing and giant mare moans, the tip of a for forked tongue come to tickle your side.

"Mmmh?" Ribbons hums is surprise, and there you feel her nimble tongue inspect you all over. "Ooooh, Wizard." You hear the snake mare between two moans. "No wonder you would get yourself in here… Mmm!"
She pauses to place a strong heckie on Velvet's inner walls, and you feel them ripple in reaction.

"Watch out there. I could have eaten you without even realizing it!" She says. "Anyway, I'm kinda busy right now. You're gonna have to ride along!"
On these words, the snake mare slithers forward, smothering you between her body and the soft and squishy walls of Velvet Pillow. You feel her skin gliding all over your body, while also sliding on Velvet's slimy membrane.

Since you're not able to use your body, your magic will have to do. You focus on pleasuring Velvet, taking her clit in an arcane hold while Ribbons take care of the changeling's innermost depths. You're stimulated by her passage as the snake mare forces more and more of her inside Velvet's pussy. Further more, you're getting more and more compressed as Ribbons get turned on, and grows even more inside Velvet Pillow.

The walls of the changeling are contracting more and more rapidly, and you feel yourself getting close too. At this moment, you come in contact with Ribbons own snatch. You size the occasion, using your hooves to get a grip on her basketball-sized clit and bury you lower body inside her.

You hear Ribbons' muffled cry as she almost instantly orgasms from the touch. Her snatch squeezes your body, and you're sent over the edge too in reaction. You release the little oxygen you still had into an enraptured cry, and your magic explodes around Velvet's sensitive button.

And there she orgasms.
The worlds around you rumbles, and there's and muffled cry of pleasure far away. The pressure around you diminishes as Velvet's humongous sex grows again, alongside Velvet as a whole. Ribbons was a tight fit for her, but soon the snake mare has plenty of space to move around the impossibly huge pussy. But in her climax, that only means the torrent of mare cum from Velvet are washing both of you away. Ridding your own orgasm, you squeeze your hooves and head around Ribbons' clit as your cock erupts inside her, and while you feel a downpour of mare juice on your back.

Soon, you see the light of the day again as you fall off Velvet, still hanging on Ribbons. The fall from her slavering pussy had to be 100 feet, but everypony seems to be okay. As soon as your body allows you, you look up, and up, and up… to see how tall Velvet has become. She's still lying on her back. You can only see her flanks for where you are, each looking like a small moon from your perspective. And then there's her legs, which seem to climb endlessly into the sky. There's also her pussy of course. The dark outline of flesh looks the mouth of a mountain stream, letting out enough juice to drown many valleys. There's also her humongous asshole, the ring of flesh looking a like a living portal to another world.

Velvet must be over 1200 feet tall, you reckon.

>What do?

You wish there was another mare as huge as this, big enough to defy anypony on this planet, travel around the world in minutes, or crush an empire in seconds.

And as a shadow passes over you, you realize your wish has been fulfilled. You see Whistlewind in the sky, just a bit more gigantic than Velvet. She has a horn in addition, and her mane and tails turned into beautiful and bright cumulus, swirling gently around her head and rear. She looks like the righteous goddess of all pegasi, her weightlessness allowing her to float in the ether almost without motion, adding even more to the supernatural feel emanating from her.  
"Hum… If you want to do that again, it's fine, but you need to get further away from the city." Whistlewind says, sounding worried. "Is that alright? Or maybe you want to stop here. I… Mean, we could hurt somepony without even noticing at this size."

You extract yourself from Ribbons' pussy, and declare.
"WE. NEED. MORE!"

Whistlewind briefly pinches her lips in response, and you see her horn light up. You, Ribbons, Velvet and Coal Vein are lifted by the alicorn's magic, and she bring you away from the city. After a couple minutes, you're in the middle of nowhere, something like 30 miles from klugetown. Coal Vein had grown to over 750 during her own climax as Velvet used her tongue on the dark mare, but now she's back to 200 feet, a more manageable size for what you have in mind…

Coal Vein doesn't need much encouragement and buries her head inside Velvet's folds while massaging her thighs. Meanwhile, Ribbons positions you, so you can play with her clitoris some more as you both watch the monolithic lustful display.

There you learn that unlike Coal Vein, Velvet doesn't appreciate getting her rump assaulted by blasts of magic. She lets out a pained yelp devoid of any pleasure after you tried, and the 1000-foot mare gave you a mean look for interrupting her fun. You gave her a meek apology in response.
Secretly however, sending her landmass of a rump into a jiggling frenzy from you blast was worth it.

Fortunately, a week with Velvet seems to have done wonders on Coal's tongue game, and after only a couple minutes, Velvet climaxes, and she grows again.
Coal had somehow caught up enough to look like a foal next to her, but she become diminutive in comparison again, as Velvet double in size once more. Alongside Whistlewind, who didn't look at Velvet until now, she grows to even larger, bigger that any creature that has ever exited, and drowning acres of desert under her lust fluids as she cums.

At the end, Velvet is a little short of half a mile tall. How tall exactly… for the first time, your growth wizard powers fail you, and you can't measure the impossible size of the changeling to the inch like you usually do. You're almost out of comparisons for the changeling. There's no more entities to compare her too, only landmasses and cities. Right now, Velvet Pillow could stand at the base of Canterlot mountain, and look at the princesses of Equestria in the eye. Without the fields surrounding it, Ponyville could fit on the changeling's two butt cheeks and the Rainbow falls would make for a suitable shower for her right now.

And yet, you may still make her bigger…

>What do?

You thank the gods for your luck, and wish they were here to witness this miracle. The gods agree with you, and they decide to show up for once. 

Butter and swirls decide it is the right time to manifest in the real world. Ribbons and Whistlewind are seemingly struck with a sleeping spell, and fall asleep in seconds. Then the air seems to ripple for a moment, and the very fabric of reality deforms and wraps itself, until the forms of the twin Butter and Swirls appear next to you, both standing at 224 feet and 5 inches tall.

"Wowie! You really outdid yourself with that one!" Butter gazes at the incredible mass that Velvet has become. 

"I know, right!" You grin. "I'm temped to continue. I know what you said about being careful, but…"
"Mmm… yeah, but only once more! I have no freaking idea what a pony so huge is doing to the underground and stuff."

"Then how about you take some size from her?" You offer. "I've been thinking for a while that you're a bit small."
"But we can't do anything about her size, Wizard." Butter and Swirls shake their heads. "Even if we wanted to… which we don't."
"What?" You frown. "But… you're goddesses!"
"Yes, but we became what we are because of your potion, and another potion would make us lose everything. Your potion weaves magic more powerful than you can imagine, Wizard. You rewrote history in our case! As for Velvet Pillow." Butter points at the half-mile long mare. "We didn't pour our magic or our strength in your potions to grow her."

"We do what we can to protect you with our power." Swirls says. "I mean… especially your body when somepony like Coal Vein sits on you. But for your potion, we merely activated some latent effects from it, nothing more. And we can't mess with the size anypony got from your potions either."
"Alright…" You scratch your head, a bit puzzled. "Anyway, now you're here, maybe we can have some fun together."

"Well…" Butter and Swirls seems a bit embarrassed. "I suppose you're not talking about a game of connect 4."
"Yeah, I mean, it's gonna sounds weird to you, but I don't really feel like getting naughty near my followers." Butter says.
"I mean, we know they're adult, with adult lives themselves, but after hearing their prayers, their aspiration, their dreams… it even feels so weird for us, appearing in front of them… We didn't know how to deal with that." Swirls adds "That's why we put them to sleep instead."
"And even if it weren't for them, you still need to find a way to make us bigger, or else we shall only tease you, Wizard! But we can help you and Coal Vein to satisfy Velvet in other ways if you want, though." Butter says.

>What do?

"Wait, if you can influence my potions… can you make the one Velvet drank a living one, so we can start over with the growth again?"
"I should have been more clear, but..." Butters shakes her head. "… I can't. I don't want to get in the technicalities, but once they're done and drunk, your ptions are out of my range of actions, Wizards."

"Anyway, you talked about some other ways to get down on Velvet?" You cock a curious eyebrow. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well…" Butter exchanges a nod with Swirls, and lowers her humongous face to your level. There's a devious smirk on her giant face. "Like I said, I'm not really feeling like getting naughty myself for now, so I'm gonna stand back while you do. I wonder if you're gonna like this experience..." She shuckles, letting a gust of hot breath waft over you. "And remember. I'm really trusting you on this one, okay? You have to act responsibly with the power at your disposal, Wizard."

And here, her giant maw opens, and the behemoth of a mare closes her mouth around you. You're disoriented as the goddess raises her head, making you fall to the bottom on her mouth while you're coated in a layer of warm saliva. Then, with a powerful contraction of her muscles, you're swallow in a single gulp, and travel down her throat. You fall in a warm and bottomless pit, tumbling along walls of warm flesh for what feel like minutes.

But as time goes on, you start to feel strange. The sensations of your body seem to blur out, even getting numb for a while… and then all of a sudden, it's all calm again.
You feel yourself standing on fine sand, and there's an indescribable fizz coursing through your whole body. Opening your eyes, you gawk at the shift of perspective, and now you look at Swirls in the eye… as you now control and feel through Butter's physical form.

"Heeyyy! Looking good, Wizard!" Swirls winks at you. "I think you've got what it takes to entertain Velvet Pillow, now. I hope you don’t get shy about having a mare's body…" She says with a giggle.

It feels like a dream, but you think your mind is coming to terms with what just happened. You have control over Butter's 224 foot body with hooves, tentacle mane, wing and dragon tail included. And you feel untold and wild magic coursing through your veins.

>What do?

The shock of the change of body prevents you to question the fact Coal Vein almost instantly returned to her larger size after you used the shrinking wand on her. Maybe the thing misfired on the first use. You were being crushed under countless tons of mare ass muscles at the time you shrank her after all. Anyway, that sure won't happened again, and the wand will function correctly in the future. There's no need for you to think about this anymore.

For now, you've become a big mare yourself, which is the closer you've ever been to a giantess before! You feel the red coming on your cheeks as stand dumbstruck, even afraid to move the magnificent body you're borrowing. Your legs twitch slightly under you, your hooves sinking slightly in the infinitely fine sand. You feel warmth in your tummy, and you reflexively shift your scaled wings at each of your sides. And after a few seconds, you can't help but to slowly try and move the meaty, prehensile dragon tail behind you. The appendage feels powerful and nimble, and you're able to move as you please on instinct. The tentacles you have as a mane are just as easy to command as your tail. And each time you move it, you feel your tail pressing slightly against your two massive buttocks, and also notice a slight tug near your genitals. 

You can feel it, you don't have your cock anymore, and instead get to experience the foreign sensations of a mare's body. You do no dare to touch it yet, but rather than the stiffness and pulse of blood in your member, you feel heat radiating from your nethers, and your skin is so sensitive back even the rays of the sun are creating gentle waves of arousal that heat you whole body, and that make you wish for a more direct touch.

Besides, you get a sensual heat spread in your body as you start to grow slowly. You're never felt anything like this before, your heart pumping slightly stronger at each beat along your growing arousal. Growing itself is making you feel even more flustered, as it feels like the desire in you is trying to burst out of your body, an enrapturing tingling sensation coursing on all your skin. At this point, you let out a high-pitched *meep* as your marehood clenches for a second, sending a delightful jolt through your body. You blush further as you feel something drip from your sex onto the burning sands.

"So… Are you going to do something with that body or not?" Swirls teases you while showing a cocky grin.

That's right. Velvet Pillow is lying on her back, still half a mile in height for now. The colossal mare seems to be calming down at this point, and she keeps the doll sized (to her) Coal Vein in a gentle hug on her chest. Velvet looks like she might be drowsing off.
Also, you're currently looking down on Swirls, who seems to enjoy your current embarrassment, but hasn't grown an inch yet.

You also haven't experienced with the powers of change you currently have at your disposal, but Butter did make sure to give you a speech about being responsible.
But maybe you can have some fun instead of being responsible all the time…

>What do?

Your brain is failing to really comprehend what's happening, but this is by far one of the most stimulating experience you've ever had.

You can resist no longer, and lean down to kiss Swirls. You feel little sparkles as your lips connect. Your blue twin is surprised, and after letting out small surprised *eep*… and after enjoying the kiss for a few seconds, she meekly pushes your face away, looking to the ground in embarrassment.
"H-hey… I told you it feels weird while my followers are… mmmh!"

You silence Swirls by kissing her again, this time forcing your tongue inside her mouth. She shyly moans in response, her own wet muscle starts to swirl against yours. Since she resists no more and even started growing, you take her in a hug and use your wings to fly both of you up to Velvet's gargantuan folds.

Swirls collides with Velvet's still wet sex with a wet sound. You free her mouth, and in seconds you reposition yourself to kiss her flower instead. The blue goddess lets out a little cry of pleasure as you eagerly plunge your tongue inside her sex. It's been a while you haven't felt you tongue being able to decently please a mare. And yet, you want more. You want Swirls to feel even better, to grow even bigger! You wish your tongue larger, longer, and the chaotic magic in your body grants you just that. You use your mane to lock your face on Swirls' snatch as she writhes in elation in reaction to your increasingly arousing touch. Her front hooves kicks and tail swirls inside Velvet's folds, electing a loud purr from the colossal mare you're inside.

You go in a frenzy from here on. The simple fact of all these giantesses around you is making your own sex ache for release, and you find your pleasure climbing as you give more to the other mares. Swirls is just openly moaning in delight as your tongue completely fills her snatch by now, and still growing.

But it's not enough! Your tongue covers itself with suckers to please her more, and so does the growing tentacles you use to massage her buttocks and asshole. The stimulation is so great Swirls' snatch soon starts gushing love juice as she orgasms, and you too feel your entrance burn with pleasure and send shocks arousal in your whole body.

This is nirvana. Your whole world is made of giant growing mares, and this is making your mind go wild. While you and Swirls ride your climaxes, you unleash all the power you can to pleasure and grow Velvet even more! You spells turn her flash softer and more sensitive, you and Swirls sinking more and more in her even more velvety hot walls.

The titanic changeling's moans gets more pressing, encouraging you to please her. Her impossibly soft flesh allows her to feel all of you and Swirls' movements in her drooling snatch, and soon you feel her cave of a pussy start to grow even bigger, the world-ending rumble of her already immense body getting yet again even more massive.

You can barely comprehend what follows. Your mind is addled by your sexual frenzy and the cries of the two mares your pleasuring, and you all seem to ride an orgasm that goes on forever. Your whole body sends ever-growing electric bursts of energy to stimulate Velvet, all while your magic is making her always more sensitive.
Time stops to have any meaning as you and Swirl ride a seemingly endless climax and sink more and more in her flesh as Velvets expands exponentially, until her clitoris alone serves as the softest of all mattress for you and Swirls.

You're only brought back to reality when something gigantic and soft hits you and Swirls. Your still numb mind barely registers you being separated from your twin as you tumble down, and it's only when you painfully hit the ground, planting your face in the desert sand that your brain starts to apprehend reality once more.

You groggily stand on your hooves, your body and brain still filled to the brim with arousal, and the first thing you see is Velvet Pillow. You let out a heavenly moan at the sight of the titanic mare. She has grown many times, and simply imagining how tall she is bringing you close to going off again. Her body climbs up to the sky, way higher than the clouds, and her moans occasionally resonate over the whole land.

You have no idea how impossibly gigantic Velvet has become… until you look behind you, and see you're only a couple miles away from Klugetown. This mean Velvet Pillow must be around… you moan again at the thought… 30 miles tall! The tips of her hooves could wipe a whole city from the map at this size, and there isn't a single place in this planet she couldn't reach in a few minutes of walking.

And yet, Velvet seems to be willing to get even larger. Looking up in the sky, you she the mare has fitted her whole hoof inside her sex, and gently pumps it to pleasure herself. It seems your actions left her eager for even more size. 
In she grows once more, Velvet's impossibly soft body will without a down smother Kulgetown, and possibly the world is she keeps up after… Your lust-drunk brain wonders if that's a good or a bad thing.

>What do?

You can't help it… you just want Velvet to grow even bigger. You are the Growth Wizard, and it is time you met with your destiny.

But first, you must make sure Velvet Doesn't harm anypony as she grows. Already, Whistlewind must be buried under millions of tons of mare butt. You just hope all that ass is soft enough the cloudy mare is still alright…

Still, that gives you an idea. Using almost al the power left in Butter's earthly form, you enchant Velvet with the same magic that nullified Whistlewind's weight.
 
You fall on the ground, exhausted as you finish you spell just as another orgasm hits Velvet. The changeling's moan shakes the land, but as her form starts to inflate once more, she bounces off the ground, shadowing Klugetown and many acres of desert under her as gravity cannot hold her anymore.

After only a dozen seconds, Velvet has doubled in size again, reaching about 60 miles in size. And still her hoof in locked inside her sex, as she will soon grow even more magnificent. She's now drifting off, out of this world that cannot contain her anymore.

In a lust-powered surge, you fly up to catch up on the stellar goddess your magic created. While she still masturbates with Swirls trapped inside her folds, you start to grind yourself against Velvet's clit. You almost cum right on the spot, mainly from the thought of Velvet become gigantic beyond all measures, picturing her growing endlessly through time and space.

You wish your sex to become more sensitive, to feel more of Velvet's wonderful presence, and your magic grants you just that. And by the time Velvet Pillow climaxes again, you've become definitely overwhelmed by pleasure, the only thing left in you wind being the desire to please her so she can grow more and more for all of eternity.

Velvet Pillow slowly exhales as she gazes in the infinite space. The stars are beautiful, and they're all around her. But there something else she needs to see right now.

Slowly spinning on herself, Velvet Pillow faces her home again. She was so large now, the city of Klugetown looks like a miniature to her, and Equestria lied under her like a large map, and she could see Appleoosa on her right, and Mount Eris on her left. The curvature of the planet was clearly visible at her level.

She could feel it. May it be because of her sheer size, the Wizard's potion, or Butterswirl's influence, but she was more than an impossibly large mare now. There was enough power inside her to shape the world to her desire. She could feel everypony down below, and how they marveled at her sized, at her beauty. She could also feel the Wizard, and Butterswirl too trying their best to grow her more. 

Feeling how devoted they were, how much they wanted her to grow even more, Velvet came, and grew once more, the music of her moans of pleasure being heard in all of Equestria.

Then, wishing for the little ones bellow to feel as good as she did, Velvet granted bountiful bodies and assets to all the ponies of Klugetown. Witnessing how happy and thank full they were, Velvet's body surged once more as she found pride and joy in the arousal of the little ponies.

Then, Velvet hugged the planet and her thousands of tiny protegees, and they all could feel her soft an warm body smothering them. They all came in unison, and their pleasure trigger another surge of growth from Velvet Pillow.

As she grew, she covered more and more of Equestria, and thousands of new ponies, zebras, dragon, griffons, and all other created were washed away in the infinite pleasure Velvet brought them. The whole world could feel her, and she could feel them all, so Velvet Pillow grew once more.

Now that her hooves could almost go around the whole planet, she sat up, and started grinding her sex again the ground, plowing through lands and oceans alike, countless ponies being squished against her soft ant sensitive lips and folds.

Soon, Velvet came…

And then she came again…

And again…

Until the planet could fit inside her pussy, and that all the ponies in the world could pleasure her at once, while being in her world consuming vagina. Love has finally spread all around the world, Velvet thought, before the pleasure she could feel from all the creatures of equestrian was going to make her large enough to spread this love to the infinity of the universe.

THE END


Congrats! You have reached the B-endy-ing of this CYOA. We'll do something else next week. I'm probably gonna get back to one shots for a while. Feel free to ask any question you may have about the story that just finished.

Okay. I think we'll do that next week.

First, Thread Lightly would have been overjoyed if you had chosen to go with her. From here on, she would have loved you almost unconditionally, and accepted many concessions should you find a way to still spend the majority of your time living with her. She would gladly have set her wanderlust aside to leave in any place other than Klugetown with you. It was possible to set up solutions using the services of Klugetown's sky harbor to deliver potions, or to buy a ship, or eventually to set up teleportation devices. (I can't remember if last season started and showed Neighsay easily using portals when the CYOA started.) Potion production might simply have been halted until a solution was found, but Thread's good nature would have made you an impeccable reputation wherever you would have decided to settle with her, and attracted customer which weren't weirdos like in Klugetown.

Once Maafah had stolen some size from you, there was no occasion left to take her out of the Widow's grasp without big trouble for her. If you had chosen not to kill her during the birthing ritual of the Widow, the original Widow would have successfully been brought into reality, and would have discovered Maafah plotted to take her place. She would have bound Maafah to obey any order you would give her in punishment, in addition to give her size stealing abilities. She then would have proceeded to go the zebra lands and her influence would have disappeared from Klugetown completely, except the curse she would have left on Maafah.

If you had stopped at any point during the ritual where she first stole your size, her determination to serve or become the Widow would have been broken. She may have temporarily left you service, but wouldn't have left Klugetown as she wouldn't any more objective to follow. She could have gradually been driven back to work for you, or even to follow another goddess over time.

Concerning Butterswirl, the crit in question was in theory supposed to shift reality and give to the drinking the kind of life they would desire the most. Since Butterswirl didn't have any precise motivation and was a little lost in life, I decided to give her the power to both live her fantasies and help ponies as much as she can.

About the other mares, Rose would have become the ruling mayor of Klugetown (which would have become a hedonistic paradise rather than a corrupted commercial town) and she would have had the reputation of being the most beautiful mare in the world.

Same for Canopy Veil, and Klugetown would have been some sort of socialist utopia.

Thread Lightly have become a seamstress whose creations were renowned all over the world, but who would have managed to remain a veil of mystery on her own person, and lived in a quiet little town.

Maafah would have become the Widow (faster that she did)

Coal Vein would have become the protecting goddess of the last tribe of Nhorse ponies, which would be worshipping her respectfully.

Velvet Pillow would have been the changeling queen in the place of Chrysalis then Thorax, and would have made peace with the ponies way sooner, and changelings would have been integrated in society. The mores would a become a lot more liberal too, as changelings would always be ready to "share love".

If Maafah and Butterswirl had confronted each other in any way, Maafah would have completely obliterated Butterswirl. She would have readily ordered her followers to persecute the ones of Butterswirl, and shrink them into toys. (As long as they weren't working for you) If Maafah and Butterswirl were to oppose directly, Maafah would have easily defeated Butter and Swirls and steal all their size for herself, turning them into nothing more than regular mares again. Unlike Butterswirl, Maafah would not listen to you no matter how hard you'd demand her to stop. She would only accept to leave Butter and Swirls in your care after shrinking them to the size they were before becoming goddesses. That would be the extend of her mercy.

I originally had plans for the 6 fumbles ready from the beginning, but realized over the story that simply keeping a potion to cure them in store nullified their interest, and changed them many times during the story. Besides, there soon started to be so much characters interaction and events to cover each week that taking care or fumbles started to feel like a bother to me. The current idea I had for the last fumble was a curse of size vampirism, where the drinker would have felt the need to suck the bigness out of all other mares present. Unused fumbles included infinitely swelling crotchboobs, unreasonable fear of highs, unreasonable fear of bugs and little things, shrinking when aroused instead of growing, falling asleep and growing exponentially, becoming impossibly aroused then growing at each orgasm (you might be familiar with that one in a way), intense carving to vore ponies (and mass absorption), intense craving to unbirth ponies (and grow to fit more ponies inside).
These may show up individually as one shot ideas in the future.

The ultimate growth magic you would get from discovering all the crits and fumbles could have been used in three ways :
>Keeping the infinite growth magic for yourself, allowing you to grow mares in any way and to any size you want, or to grant them any kind of growing ability you would wish. You would also be able to shift between infinite big-mare themed parallel worlds, taking any form you would wish with any kind of knowledge and memories, and eternally respawning at will or upon death (and thus making the origin story of the Growfag CYOgrAfic Universe)
>Gift that power to a mare of your choice.
>Make the world a size fetishist paradise, with mare having size from amazon to stellar size, and with a variety of innate growing/shrinking abilities, as well as complacent laws of physics so nopony gets hurt.

Not really. If you didn't make any mare go to cosmic proportions, the cyoa would have ended when you decided to cast the ultimate growth magic or retired, and I didn't have any relation with Equestria subplot ready, unless you had chosen to go with Thread Lightly and research portal magic.

>What do?

For a while, you had mostly given hope you would ever witness this scene.

Your recent actions have transformed Klugetown. Your rule which is assured in practice by both your mares and Oasis is not only going unchallenged, but overwhelmingly welcomed by the whole city. With both a hoof in the desert and in the wetlands, and thanks to the prodigious workforce power the giant mares you’ve created, the city is quickly turning from a harsh and money-driven citadel to a blossoming and self-sufficient haven of abundance. And with that transformation came the celebration of your magic, or more precisely, of the mares of all sized who have such a great role in making the city a better place.

And as a result of this grand success, you’ve decided to throw some sort of party with everypony, to celebrate the dawn of a golden age for giant mares all over the world. You have yet to complete your research about growth magic, but already the future is looking bright. Beautiful giantesses are already walking the land, and their sight is becoming more and more common everywhere. The number of requests for potions has exploded, and these now orginate from all over Equestria, and there's so many you can’t hope to satisfy all the demand. Still you make sure to grow as many mares as you can. You’re thinking of teaching one or more of your assistant the complete brewing process in the near future.

But more importantly, all the mares you’ve shared your adventure with are here with you. You’ve gathered them in your improved bathhouse, which has been merged with a couple other warehouses to provide enough space for even the largest of your friends. The mood is just a bit less cheerful that you hoped for now, as your friend are still feeling uncomfortable about Maafah's presence.

The zebra goddess currently poses as a mere 9 foot tall mare. She decided to conceal her form under the appearance she had when she left your side for this occasion. But despite being smaller than most of the ponies present, you can clearly see most guests are reluctant to interact with her.

Indeed, what she did to you in the past and her tyrannical rule over the zebra lands are still present in everyone’s mind. The situation did get a little better you think, as Maafah renounced to interfere in Klugetwon's affairs. For a time she tried to convert its citizens into worshipping her through the presence of Lissa. The zebra had been subjugated by Maafah, and promised wonders of pleasure to those who would acknowledge Maafah as their only goddess. A promise she actually had the means to satisfy.

You eventually talked her out of this deal. By her own words, Maafah merely wished to force you to come closer to her and conform to her ways, but you made it clear once more that you would never be able to rule over ponies living under a spell, no matter how pleasurable this spell would be. 
Lissa left Klugetown, and Maafah’s shrine has become empty and eerily quiet since then. Her presence is still there though. You don’t know how the situation in the zebra lands has evolved lately.

Right now though, Sulfury has mustered enough courage to talk to the trickster goddess.

You assistant currently stands at a similar height that the zebra. She was lucky enough to get the Gift of Choice from the potion she recently drank, allowing her to still work comfortably in your lab while finally curing her burned face and missing eye. Her maximum height is actually around 60 feet tall.

Maafah seems to be acting a little cold here, knowing full well some ponies would have been more comfortable without her around, but your assistant seems genuinely curious about her. Sulfury always had an interest in dangerous magic, so she decided to seize the occasion to talk with an actual goddess that, unlike Butterswirl, isn't afraid to use her powers for control and even destruction.

As for the other guests, Thread Lightly is currently being assaulted by questions from both the couples of Roses and Butterswirls. Lots of things have changed since the orange mare left, and her friends are absolutely thrilled to see her in the flesh again. They're very eager to learn how she's been doing.
Thread Lightly tells them about her life in Vanhoover, which for now has settled in a quiet little routine. The 9 feet nine mare wants to go visit the rest of Equestria, but she says she doesn't know where to start, and unconsciously she might still be a little shy about leaving her new comfortable life, you guess. Striving to realize her dream is a day to day struggle for Thread Lightly.

The couple of Roses has a lot to tell her too. Needless to say, Thread didn't believe her eyes when she met two version of the ponies she knew in the past, but was still overjoyed to meet them again. It was a bit of a challenge to have Thread show up today, considering how much it meant for her to leave the city at the time. But Rose, both of them, did play a part in that. Since you've taken control of Klugetown, the twin unicorns have been traveling far and wide to consolidate the relationships of the town with the rest of the world. As always, there hasn't been a single host which didn't find her company absolutely divine, and the image of Klugetown in Equestria has drastically changed for the better. The name of Sandy Rose also became whispered all over, and besides the tales of her successful diplomatic missions as Klugetown's new face, rumors of her fairness shadowing even the ones of the princesses have spread in pubs and night clubs of even the most remote cities of Equestria.

Despite her power, Butter and Swirls have probably been the less involved in the transformation of Klugetown. They still have their followers all around the world to cater to, and you still haven't corrupted the tow goddesses enough for bigness to become a mandatory transformation of her followers.

The twin Roses, in control of their height, have chosen to stand equal to Thread Lightly… While Butter and Swirl chose to stand at their original size and appearance of 3 feet and 11 inches. The twin goddesses are too timid to appear in front of their followers in any other way, they told you. Which is already a progress from the time they wouldn't appear without putting their worshippers to sleep first.

Meanwhile, Canopy Veil is discussing with Swamp Lily. Currently standing at over 180 feet, the chocolate mare has become the effective ruler of Klugetown, leading the realization of the works which are going to transform the nearby swamps into lands that will be able to feed the inhabitants of the city.

She's without a doubt the most genuinely appreciated of all the giantesses in Klugetown. Her altruistic convictions have impulsed a wave of unprecedented solidarity and hope among the citizens of Klugetown, who now seem to believe anything is possible as long as they follow her. Truthfully, the help of a mare taller than but a few skyscrapers puts a lot more in the realms of possibility, and Canopy's nature is making sure this energy transforms the town in a more moral place. It seems all the scoundrels in Klugetown are currently laying low or left the place. Just like Goldfeather, it isn't impossible they chose to run to another hole to run their dark affairs in rather than to confront the powerhouses that your giant mares have become.

Right now, Canopy's discussing technicalities with the druid mare. Swamp Lily has been staying with you since she fell sick, and has been taking a great part in the project to make Klugetown a more livable place. With the power to move literal mountains, the earth mare has set ambitious objectives for how she wanted the swamp to be transformed. Canopy seems endlessly captivated by her knowledge, and even right now she does her best to understand the importance of moss and muddy grounds to the ecosystem they both work to create from Lily's words.

Despite her big role in the city's transformation, Swamp Lily decided not to show herself much to the world, and avoids public attention like you do. She spends most of her day working either in your lab, or directly giving her instruction from inside Canopy's poofy mane. These two seem to have developed a deep platonic friendship, and Swamp Lily never looks happier than when she buries herself inside the chocolate mare's silky mane or hugs her. A sentiment you can easily understand.

Velvet Pillow and Coal Vein are sharing the hot bath right now. It has been enlarged since last time.
The changeling still has been working to spread love to the city. At over 100 feet, that's a lot of love to spread. But seeing how things are evolving in Klugetown, Velvet is starting to feel like her help might be more needed elsewhere. 

It's still a project in the making, but Velvet Pillow wants to travel north, and meet the princess of love in the hope she might be able to offer her some guidance about what place needs love the most, as well as how she could get better at spreading it herself.

Coal Vein has taken it up on herself to accompany the changeling. The dark mare's fluctuating size is currently close to 200 feet, allowing her to softly hug the pink changeling in her hooves. Since that time they spent a week away from the city, Coal Vein has become very close to Velvet Pillow. The muscular mare never really had any goal in her life besides surviving until the next day, which was enough of a life goal as mere muscle for hire in the old Klugetown. But now a giantess and probably the most physically powerful being in the world, the mare found herself a bit aimless, until she found a new purpose in Velvet Pillow.

What exactly happen during that week belongs only to them, but despite her very liberal definition of love, it's now clear for everypony there some commitment between these two giantesses. Perhaps Velvet's dreams and wishes of love have found a supportive yet reasonable ear in Coal Vein. Anyway, while Velvet spends her days spreading happiness and pleasure to the population of Klugetown, her nights belong only to Coal Vein. They would travel away from in the desert, where nopony can see them, but sometimes their shared moans of pleasure would echo over the land to the city from twilight to dawn.

Despite sharing some time with them, Ribbons made her own plans. She's discussing with the rest of Butterswirl's followers right now about her next adventure. The giant snake mare wishes to go travel around the planet and discover lands that are yet shrouded in mystery. She will go to the dragon lands, and then continue eastwards into the unknown. She hopes to come back from the west eventually. It would be a daring trial for a single pony to go alone on such an adventure, but in the case of Ribbons, this sounds more like an exciting but overall safe escapade.

And here you are, the Growth Wizard, in the middle of all these wonderful giantesses. Thanks to Butter and Swirls, there's plenty of foods and drink for even the largest of you. Nopony's explicitely paying attention to you right now. There's only Tide Novem, quietly sitting on the table next to your glass.

>What do?

You let out a satisfied hum as your watch your mares enjoy themselves. Things got so peaceful compared to the start of your adventure, you're not even sure what to do anymore. Are you just going to keep living among these marvelous giantesses? They seem to be pairing of by themselves already though, and you feel like you'd become a bit of a third wheal if you tried to stay with them.

While you ponder about your next move, you idly put the 1-foot gooey mare into your glass. Tide Novem gives you a quizzical look as she's neck deep into a glass of juice. Her body remains distinct from the rest of the liquid, but when you take a sip, there's a quite unpleasant aftertaste of chemicals in here. On another note, with eveypony now pursuing their own goals, you think you're going to arrange another meeting in a couple years to see how they're all doing.

Also, you can't help but to eavesdrop on Sulfury and Maafah's conversation.

"So you really don't plan to conquer any other land?" The orange mare asks. "Bummer… I mean, after all you've done already, I'm really surprised you wouldn't try to take over the world or something."
"Erm…" Maafah's seems confused. "You know, I'll gladly take you as my servant if that's what you wish."

"What?" Sulfury cocks an eyebrow. "Haha! Keep dreaming, girl! I'd rather be thrilled over trying to stop you! You have no idea how even the craziest science projects get a lot more credit in uncertain times. Especially the most explosive ones!"
The zebra goddess lets out an uncomfortable giggle. She kinda promised she wouldn't cause any trouble, and she doesn’t seem to know how to react to that kind of disrespectful declaration.

But there's another pony you planned to have a word with. You already caught up with Thread Lightly when you were both in the airship which brought her to Klugetown, but there was something else you wished to give her.

"Thread Lightly?" The orange amazon and her friends perk up as you call her name. "There's something I'd like to give you."
There, you take out a potion you had stashed away.

"Ha!" Thread smirks and rolls her eyes. "So you did bring me here so you could make me larger in the end. You'll never change, Growth Wizard…"
"No, no, no… It's the contrary!" You blush slightly. "This potion will cancel my spell actually. It will turn you back to the way you were before you drank my potion. You'll be able to live as a normal pony that way!"

Thread Lightly doesn't doubt you, but she looks surprised you would offer her such a spell.
"That's… very thoughtful of you Wizard, but…" She shakes her head. "This is the new me, now. I don't wish to get any bigger, but I have no reason to shrink back to the body I had in the past either. It would feel a bit scary even, to turn back the way I was before…"
"But you'll still be the same inside…" You tell Thread. "That wouldn't turn back the way it was before. You're stronger than that now. And… Being a giantess can be inconvenient at some places, right? You're really sure about yourself?"

"Well…" She takes the potion from your hoof… and simply puts it away. "No, I'm not sure. Right now I think I don't want to shrink down, but it's very nice of you offer the possibility. I'm gonna keep it, in case I feel like using it in the future. Thank you very much, Wizard."

>What do?

"It's really the least I can do." You say embarrassedly "With all the stuff I messed up, you deserve to at least have the option."
You expected things to get a little more romantic, but your gift didn't really have the intended effect. You could try to explain awkwardly what you meant to say with this potion, but maybe Thread Lightly isn't a mare for you after all. Maybe you should go to Swamp Lily instead, and tell her you want to repopulate the swamps with her over a single generation.

Yeah, that's probably gonna not work…

"Excuuuse me!?" Rose exclaims. "Hello? But did we all just see THE Growth Wizard offer to shrink somepony on his own?"
"Thread Lightly!" The other unicorn takes the orange mare in a hug. "Don't you realize what this mean? This Wizard right here like you for something else than your size! That has never happened before!"
"Hum…" The orange mare's face turns red, and she looks confused. "I don't think that… ehm…"

"And you Wizard." The other Rose point an accusing hoof to you. "Is offering Thread this potion really all you wanted to say? You realize you have to voice your feelings out if you want mares to understand them, right? Are you sure this is all you wanted to say to Thread?"

>What do?

"I um... Y-yes I know that." You stutter. "But I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to say."
"You're gonna have to go on improv then! You can't leave a mare waiting forever for you, Wizard!"

You gulp. Uttering sweet words has never been hard for you, but now these have a little trouble coming you. Still, you turn to the orange mare who's blushing as much as you do, and start to speak.
"Thread, I really like you. Giant mare or just normal it doesn't matter because I like you for who you are not what you are."

"Growth Wizard…" Thread looks deeply moved, and eagerly awaiting your next words.
"Thread Lightly, I want to go with you on your adventures." You declare. "Would you let me tag along?"

"Off course I would!" The orange mare exclaims, a radiant smile on her face. "Nothing would make me happier!"
And there, the amazon mare comes closer to embrace you, and smothers your face with the most heartfelt kiss you've ever had.

…but actually, even though since that day, you've been officially living with Thread Lightly and dropped you quest for the ultimate growth magic (you have big mare that you could dream of already), you relationship has been rather liberal. You could never abandon Rose, or Swamp Lily, or Sulfury or even less Butter and Swirls and Maafah, who still have the means to reach for you anywhere and anytime. Not that the others aren't capable of visiting you anywhere at their size… Thread isn't bother with that, as she's happy to meet with her friends too.

And so the growth wizard retire, and spend the rest of his peacefull live surrounded with lovely large mare of all kinds.

THE END

Congrats! You reached the A-nime protagonist ending!
