 Blood Sword


     Brenlan felt the familiar twinge in his body. He reached for the
sword he'd brought back from the east, the sword to which he was cursed.
     "That's a hell of a sword!", the bartender whistled in admiration.
     Brenalan turned with a frown, "You have no idea of it's strangeness
or powers my friend.".
     He could now feel the sword's pull and the beginnings of his own
change.
     "Help!", a woman screamed from outside.
     "Damn! It's about time I was needed!", Brenalan snorted while racing
outside.
     A group of men were accosting a prostitute named Maleena.
     "Leave her alone and face someone prepared to deal with scum like
yourselves!", he growled.
     The sword seemed to be vibrating in his hands and he knew from
experience what it desired.
     The men didn't even speak as they attacked all at once. Brenlan
realized that these four were not gutter-trash but professionals. They
were astonished when he blocked all four of their sword thrusts at once.
He disarmed one easily and flattened the rest with punches and kicks until
they were quite at his mercy. He had to satisfy the sword's needs in order
to remain himself and he had no desire to feel that transformation again.
     "No!", the woman screamed at him. She seemed horrified that he
intended to slay these men.
     "There is no need to kill them!", she urged, "We were just
negotiating and it got out of control.".
     Brenlan snorted and turned back to the men.....only to find them
gone.
     "God damn!", he cursed while tossing the sword down, "Do you have any
idea what your weakness will cost me!?", he howled in rage.
     "It is money you desire I assume?", she said with a frown.
     "No you idiot!", he snapped.
     Maleena frowned at his outburst, mainly because his voice had sounded
strange...and much higher pitched.
     Brenlan scooped up the sword and looked about frantically for someone
to kill.
     "You....you are changing!", Maleena gasped.
     Brenlan looked down to see breasts beginning to swell atop his chest
even as his body slimmed in muscle and fat. His hair was now atop his
suddenly smaller shoulders and he could feel the strange changes occuring
in his groin. He roared in anger but by now his voice had softened and it
was a woman's wail of anguish.
     "Now do you see what you have caused!?", he snarled at her.
     She was horrified and amazed all at once as an amply-breasted woman
of whorish looks stood before her in the man's clothing.
     "What did I do!?", Maleena asked in shock.
     "You cost me the blood I needed!", Brenlan growled in a honey-like
voice.
     "Are you a vampire of a sort?", she said in confusion.
     Brenlan cupped her heavy breasts and sighed, "No. I am cursed. You
see the blade I carry?", he indicated the blade in one dainty hand.
     "Yes.", Maleena said in wonder.
     "It needs the blood of a man every so often or it makes the wielder
into a whore....as it just did to me.", he sighed in explanation.
     "Why would you ever wield such a weapon in the first place!?", she
asked in confusion.
     "My troop was attacked a few months ago by amazons. They butchered my
friends and disarmed me. In fear I grabbed the first weapon I saw...their
holy blade. They screamed in rage and attacked...but the blade had changed
me already...not in sex...but in skill. I easily defeated the women and
made my way to civilization...then felt a strange twinge. Something made
me realize that the sword was wanting me to use it to kill men! Then I
changed for the first time, and only time before now. This was long ago
when I was in a town far away. I turned into...this....before a bar of
men. One got a little fresh and before I realized what I'd done the blade
was sticking through his chest. The moment his blood touched the sword I
was changing back into my male form. So I learned that if I wanted to
remain myself I had to kill...and I have.", he said to finish.
     "So there is hope for you to be restored then?", she asked.
     "I'll have to kill a man, that will be difficult but I've done it
before.", he explained.
     "You can stay with me while you plan, otherwise men will mistake you
for a prostitute like myself!", she said in appreciation of his new female
form.
     Brenlan saw his large breasts nearly bursting from the male tunic
he'd worn as a man and laughed, "I hope your clothes will fit!".
     Maleena frowned, "I doubt it, you're a great deal.....larger in the
chest...than me.".
     The prostitute led her sex-changed savior back to the small apartment
she owned, wondering if she could be a party to the murder Brenlan would
need to return to male form.
     "This is a nice apartment.", Brenlan observed as he undressed.
     "You're taking this change better than you originally seemed to!",
Maleena observed.
     "It's happened before....it'll happen again.", Brenlan sighed.
     He stepped out from behind the changing screen naked and so sexual
that Maleena doubted any man could resist her....him.
     "The bath is in the next room, I'll go get some water from the
well.", she said.
     Brenlan lowered his naked female body into the bath and was quite
asleep by the time that Maleena returned with the water.
     She playfully threw the entire full bucket of ice cold water onto the
gorgeous woman below her.
     "Yeaaaa!", the woman shrieked in shock. Brenlan leaped out of the tub
dripping wet and glared at Maleena.
     "What the hell did you do that for!?", he snapped.
     She grinned impishly, "You wanted a bath, I decided to surprise
you!".
     Brenlan pushed her into the cold waters to her shock as he laughed.
     Maleena pulled off her wet clothes and was nude before she remembered
that the buxom woman before her had a man's soul.
     "You are...beautiful!", Brenlan gasped in wonder.
     She grabbed a towel and covered herself blushing noticeably.
     "I forgot for a moment who you were, I'm sorry to make this even more
confusing for you!", she said quickly.
     Brenlan kissed the stunned Maleena and forgot himself until she
pushed him away.
     "I'm sorry Brenlan but I really don't want to sleep with a woman,
especially one who makes me look like a flat-chested child next to her!",
she groaned.
     "I....understand.", Brenlan said, "But when I regain male form?", he
asked hopefully.
     "You would have to kill someone for that!", Maleena yelled, "I would
see blood on your hands...and I cannot love a murderer!", she growled in
rage.
     "I cannot stay a woman forever.", Brenlan said firmly.
     "Why not!?", she yelled, "You are sexy, smart, and very skilled! You
could live as a female for your life....but you would have to change.".
     "So either way I have no chance with you then?", he asked.
     "I would rather learn to love you as a woman than sleep with a
killer.", she said defiantly.
     "I have never killed an innocent, I only slay those deserving of
it!", he spat in anger.
     "Exactly what did those men earlier do to deserve death?", she asked
pointedly.
     "They were going to hurt you, I've seen their kind before!", he
replied.
     "As have I! But you have a choice...to sink to their level or remain
above it!", she snapped.
     Brenlan pulled on his old clothes, now fitting very differently over
widened hips and large breasts. He stormed out to wander the town until he
could find a way to normality by slaying an evil man.
     "Who was she?", a burly man growled while entering Malenna's small
apartment.
     "My cousin....she just came to visit.", she lied.
     "Lying bitch! I recognize a whore when I see one, now who is she!",
he growled while grabbing her arm.
     "She's not important Trex!", Maleena urged.
     Trex slapped her and threw her onto the bed, "She's the sexiest woman
I've ever seen slut, now you tell me who she is or I'll take YOU for
myself again!", he howled in threat.
     Maleena fought wildly, the memory of her earlier rape at Trex's hands
very clear in her mind. But Trex held her easily and began opening his
pants.
     "Leave her alone!", Brenlan snarled in his female voice from the
door, sword in hand.
     "After I disarm you slut you'll join Maleena as one of my whores!",
he howled.
     They leaped into a swordfight, the whoremaster Trex amazed at the
skill of this woman despite her sexual body. But eventually Brenlan's
weaker body betrayed her and her defense began to fail.
     "You fight well woman, how is it one with your looks wields a sword
so well?", he snarled.
     Brenlan backed away suddenly shaking her head, "Something's happening
to me! I'm actually feeling like a whore...oh master!", she cooed while
plastering her luscious body against Trex while kissing him firmly.
     Trex dropped his sword and ripped open her tunic so that her full
breasts were exposed.
     "Thank you!", Brenlan cooed seductively, "You've been soooo easy to
fool!", she laughed the last.
     Before Trex could move he felt the woman's blade slide into his
chest. He staggered backwards wounded badly as the volumptous beauty began
to change.
     "The sword is appeased it appears....but I am not!", Brenlan howled.
     "So kill me then freak!", Trex gurgled as blood spurted from his
chest.
     "No....this sword was crafted by a tribe of Amazons and it has magic
I have yet to learn, but I suspect that once it tastes the blood of a man
it has power over him!", he grinned while speaking.
     Trex's wound suddenly was healed and he laughed, "You fool! Now I am
healed and it is your turn to die!". He began to laugh again but suddenly
that laugh became a girlish giggle.
    "Now you will be the property instead of the owner!", Brenlan spat at
the altered Trex.
     A gorgeous woman now stood where the whore-monger had. She examined
her frail. muscleless arms and then the enormous breasts she now had.
     "How does womanhood feel whore-master!?", Brenlan howled in laughter.
     "Change me back!", the woman bawled in fear of what would happen to
her as this sex.
     "No, I don't think so. You make a fine whore since you've had so much
experience in that field!", Brenlan baited.
     "Now YOU can taste what I've gone through Trex!", Maleena snarled.
     Trex fell to her knees sobbing at the loss of her male life even as
Brenlan turned to leave.
     "You don't need to go Brenlan!", Maleena yelled, "You regained
yourself without death, there is nothing to keep us apart!".
     Brenlan sighed, "I wish that were so Maleena but this would only be
temporary. The sword demands blood constantly and I kill when it is
needed. You could not live with that. There is much good both of us can do
and perhaps someday....someday we might get together as lovers, but that
time it not now.", he said quietly.
     Maleena cried out in pain as the man who'd captured her heart while
he'd been a woman left.
     "I hope you die freak!", the female Trex hissed.
     "Shut up....bitch!", Maleena yelled while punching her former master
into submission.
     She looked down at the buxom woman and laughed, "Not only will you
fetch enough for me to retire but I'm sure that with breasts like that
you'll be the best whore in the entire town!", she howled in laughter.
     Brenlan listened to her laugh for some time before setting out. He
would return to her someday, but for now adventure waited. He checked to
see that the sword was safely in it's scabbard and sated before fetching
his horse. The blade lay dormant for now but very soon it would cry for
male blood and he would have to deliver death as he so often had. He
smiled at the thought of the whore-master Trex now forced to be the whore
herself! Justice worked in strange ways, sometimes with death and other
times in more magical ways.
     "That is what I will call you sword. From now on it shall be Justice
I draw from this scabbard...not a Blood Sword as you have been!", he
laughed.
     The hero-to-be rode off to adventures even stranger and deadlier but
those are tales for another day.
