Previously on Centaurus: The two strongest generals of Lady Alexandria's legion encountered Fey when they went to investigate why their boss had taken on her true form. Their confidence was swiftly crushed and then together they became one, expanding beneath a finally unleashed Fey.

Now Chapter 40:

It was a beautiful summer's day and birds gently chirped as brightly coloured butterflies fluttered across the lush long green grass. The sky above was a pure blue gradienting up into a deep azure, and snow white clouds were dotted aesthetically across the blue expanse like sheep on a distant field. It was a sight that nourished the soul.

In the very far distance, across the endless plain of grass, rose the great white walls of Bine, a sea break against the plain of flowing green. Just visible over the walls the great gold plated domes and bell towers of the palace could be seen. Apparently there had been building work happening on the palace as in addition to the gold domes there was now a new blue dome.

In any case being in sight of the protective walls of the city meant this was a place not far from civilization and so never far from safety despite being in the wild.

Saying the place was Idyllic was an understatement and the soothing natural beauty was only broken by the sounds of softly nickering horses... and the giggling of teenagers. Well, that and the out of place furniture that had been dragged from the city by a team of servants, most jarring of which was a massive white and gold dining room table set out on the grass.

On the dining room table rested three books. The first of the book's covers featured a simple ring inked in black in the center of which was a title: Apperturist. The second book's title appeared to have been written by someone with an extremely shaky hand, as though they had a wasting affliction and could barely hold the quill, the title read: Vibramancer. The third and final book appeared to be made out of stitched animal skin and the title carved into it was in an unreadable angular runic language, only the crude horse head carved into and covering most of the cover hinted at what it was and what it was made from.

Three teenage girls stood in front of the table.

The girl who stood in front of the apperturist book had dyed the wolf ears that poked from her wavy blonde hair an obnoxiously bright pink, she, a wolfkin, practically bounced on the spot in excitable anticipation.

Next, standing in front of the Vibramancer book was a pleasingly curvy bunnykin who had pierced her tall ears with an excessive amount of gold jewellery and unbuttoned her blouse to show an excessive amount of cleavage. She was less visibly excited than the wolfkin, but still extremely curious.

Third was a human with long curly brown hair that spilled over her shoulders. Her blue eyes looked over the horse head book with nervous apprehension, but also a quiet determination.

All three of the teenagers were wearing riding uniforms, skin tight white leggings, beige in the human's case, clad in knee high polished black boots. Above that they wore blouses, and in the human's case a crisp horse riding jacket over top that buttoned at her front. They wore white gloves on their hands and had riding crops clipped to their hips ready to be used.

The human teenager's beige leggings unlike the others were slightly damp, a wet spot over her groin. The cause was obvious, a metal ring and leather straps under her muff which were visibly outlined under the skin-tight fabric, a certain minotaur cock sleeved tight inside of her.

They had helmets too but they had been discarded on the massive dining table as the three prepared to use the books.

A fourth teenager wearing similar clothing hopped up and parked her rear on the table, crossing her arms as she looked over the three.

"Gods you lot look like you're ready to shit your leggings."

"Oh shut up Tami, like you weren't nervous when you got your rope whatever Class."

"No, not really, I just snuck into mother's secure warehouse, picked up an Affinity crystal, and grabbed the first glowy book I saw. Took like five minutes, easy peasy."

The bunnykin stared at her.

"What?! What about all the warnings we were told and all the horror stories of this stuff going really really wrong?! And- And all the horrible things you put us through over the last few days!"

"Yeah, well, I didn't know that stuff at the time, I thought any Class would do and it didn't matter because I could change it later. It ain't my fault it turned out to be one and done and you can't change your Class once you have it, which is sooo lame by the way."

A silk rope slithered around her hip like a snake and she patted the knotted end.

"Not that it turned out too bad, although I probably have Fey to thank for my Class being as good as it is and not entirely crappy."

"So you made us go through all that and never had to do it yourself? That's not fair! You made us put our hands and arms through increasingly tiny bracelets! And- and our fingers though way too small rings! I couldn't feel my fingers by the time we were done, I thought bits of me were going to fall off!"

The excitable wolfkin paused in her happy bouncing. "Yeah Tami, that part wasn't very nice, my fingers still hurt you know."

"It worked, didn't it? You all tried for the Class and Ruby was lucky enough to have enough Affinity for it, she got the Affinity for Class we need, so quit your whinging!"

"I did get it didn't I huh?" said the wolfkin looking smug, "And now I can make dick portals just like those nobles! Well, in a minute anyway."

The human on the other side of the bunnykin leaned forward to see her.

"At least she got something for herself out of it, I couldn't find Affinity for anything even remotely close to portal making so all that pain was literally for nothing!"

The chubby bunnykin nodded her agreement. "Lucy's right, it's not fair."

Tami shrugged. "Hey I gave you the run of mother's collection, very few people are able to pick through so many different high quality Classes before settling on one. What the hell else do you expect from me Sarah?"

"Maybe jamming your fingers into rings for hours on end?" grumbled the bunnykin massaging her sore fingers beneath her gloves.

"Well I'm not doing that so you can forget it. I'll buy you a special present or some shit later, I'm good at buying special stuff. Now shaddap and get your Classes already!"

Despite their complaints the three really were eager to use the Class books and receive their powerful Classes, who wouldn't be? Magic was magic after all. As one their eyes moved to their respective books, staring intensely at the covers.

It was time.

Ruby's excitement reached even greater heights and her bouncing accelerated, unable to keep still, her heart pounding like a smith's hammer, blonde locks scattering across her shoulders. This was it, they were really doing it!

Even Tami sat up with interest, "On my mark then. On three, two, one, read!"

Ruby reached out for the book and flipped open the cover at the exact same time as Sarah and Lucy. The three of them became instantly lost in the contents, falling into the pages as Tami watched. The covers were doors made for each of them, and as one they stepped through.

To Tami's disappointment from the outside the process was decidedly uninteresting compared to experiencing it first hand. The three stared blankly at the contents as the pages began to turn on their own, slowly at first, then accelerating, becoming a blur as the books flipped through themselves, the girls unable to even blink let alone look away.

The books came to an end and then slammed closed with a definitive thud, shaking the table under the impact. The three teenagers staggered backwards as though they had been struck in the face with a bucket of ice cold water, wobbling on their feet as they blinked groggily and came back to the real world.

"Well?" said Tami, impatient.

"I think- I think it worked!" said Ruby.

Tami produced a pair of matched bracelets, rings of plain unadorned gold. "Okay, so turn this into a dick portal."

She tossed one of them and Ruby had to scramble to catch the thing.

"H-hey I literally just got the Class, I have no idea what I'm doing! You can't expect me to just- to just do it..."

"But you can try, can't you?"

Ruby gave the overbearing tigerkin and exasperated look but lifted the bracelet to her eyes.

She focused on it, her brow furrowing in furious concentration as she engaged her Class for the time ever, magic she had never known flowing through her body, mechanisms that just made sense to her engaging and roaring to life, all working with a new instinctive understanding.

She stared at the bracelet.

Nothing happened.

Nothing continued to happen.

"I think it works… but…" spoke Ruby, her words slow.

"But?"

"I'm level one Tami, about the only sized portal I could make would be the about the width of my thumb, this bracelet is just too big."

"Ugh. Well that's not very helpful, not unless we want to summon needle dicks, or pinky peens, or baby carrots."

Sarah removed a piercing from her overly pierced black furred rabbit ears as they spoke and held it up to her eyes, squinting hard at it.

Like with Ruby nothing seemed to happen, but then the teenager suddenly smiled, clearly pleased with something despite nothing visibly changing.

"This is just how Classes start I guess, gotta start small until you get some levels… which is why you had those brought out here right?"

The bunnykin pointed behind Tami.

Two dozen yards from the table some pens had been set out, strings dangling between wooden posts, more markers than anything, and in each 'pen' were enormous monsters, each monster staked down to the ground with chains unable to move.

"Oh right, that. Well go on then, let's go and kill them."

They turned to go but a glossy white tentacle rose up and blocked their path.

"Not so fast, not without my supervision."

They turned back to see Vivi. The fox girl had become… very large. Her pregnancy now sprawled across the grass, a vast dome over fifteen feet across. The fox girl was no longer capable of standing and now lay atop her throne of a body, her massive breasts each over six foot across lay atop the curve of her belly, each plate sized nipple dribbling streams of milk down her pregnancy. She practically radiated being a proud and massive broodmother.

It seemed impossible that she could move like that, but from her stretched wide pussy came dozens of thick tentacles, tentacles that looped down under her belly and onto the grass below where they undulated, lifting her away from the ground and keeping her mobile.

She actually seemed to be loving her situation despite this, dozens of sheets of paper were spread across her belly and she idly drew as she watched the teenagers.

It had been Lily's idea to ask her to come, having a veteran adventurer with them while they acquired their Classes and killed their first monster just seemed like good sense. Lily had come herself because she was good friends with Tami, the two girls connecting, more so when they had fought off assassins together.

Tami glanced to the side seeing Lily waving at her.
