Daring once again found herself in the strange void of Zelshirska, once again finding herself completely devoid of any articles of clothing. She was less embarrassed this time around, being far more driven by a need to have some very poignant questions answered. Her driving need for the first question hadn’t changed since Zelshirska had mentioned watching her line.

“Sorry for the wait,” said Zelshirska as she seemed to materialize before Daring, this time with a set of breasts comparable to K-Cup sized breasts, it seemed she also decided to give herself a set of second breasts that were comparable to J-Cup sized breasts. This all seemed to come together to form an even more voluptuous figure on the dragoness. “I got dragged into a meeting with the alicorn you call Princess Luna that lasted a bit longer than anticipated, mostly having to do with her wishing to learn more about Chandra and where she could find physical evidence of her. Sadly, I wasn’t much help for her in that regard.”

“I had a feeling something like that would happen after I let Princess Luna know about our last meeting,” said Daring in a flat tone, “I have a few questions for you to answer before I make my decision on your offer.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything less from one of your distinct lineage,” said Zelshirska with a knowing smirk, it was clear she had an idea of what the first set of questions would be.

“What can you tell me about the whereabouts of Star Log?”

“Not as much as you’re hoping, I’m afraid. She left my range of observation around the same time you noticed her disappearance. All I know for sure is she was sketching some of the older modeled ships in the harbor of the community the two of you were staying at when some individuals of less moral fiber decided to stuff her in a bag and haul her onto a ship that they had likely stolen. Sea Raiders is what they called them in the olden days, but I believe the term in your common vernacular is something else entirely.”

“My sister was ponynapped by pirates, how did the harbor patrol not catch them? No, wait, don’t answer that, I already know. They were on the take, they were paid to look the other way when those individuals were in the area. Have you shared this with Princess Luna?”

“She inquired about it, and I answered in much the same way I did with you, the only difference is that she decided to take her leave after I gave her that information.”

“Can you tell me about the ones that took her? What they looked like, their verbal tics, their choice of attire.”

“All mostly useless now, especially since they were wearing masks from a bygone era that had enough power to obscure my perception of them in my weakened state. I did my best to influence your sister in a way to give her a better fighting chance, but it didn’t turn out well. If I had the level power I have now back then I would have gladly expended its bulk to keep her from harm. But as things are, I have only been able to subtly influence things within the bounds of Equestria for the past few centuries. My level of power took a major blow when Sombra caused the Crystal Empire to disappear for a thousand years, and another notable hit when the pony now known as Flurry Heart unintentionally shattered my former heart.”

“I was wondering about that, how is it your heart became the Crystal Heart?”

“The heart of any dragon can become a crystal heart, they just have to be extremely selfless. Truth be told, my former heart has a design much different than when I passed, something about the magic of the area caused its form to take what all the ponies know today in the time between when I passed on from the mortal realm and when ponies found it.”

“So time is a factor in form,” said Daring with a contemplative look. “Why do I have a larger bust size, larger plot and curvier figure?”

“A little thank you gift for granting me a bit more power than I’ve had in a long time, it’s also a primer for my offer. Whether you choose to accept or deny my offer you will still have it and your choice will not negatively affect your current figure.”

“What exactly would I get if I were to take up your offer?”

“A more voluptuous body, for one,” Daring would usually turn that sort of thing down, but since she was retiring from the adventuring game anyway she was a bit more open to the idea, also getting a taste of how it is to have a sexy figure was kind of intoxicating to her, which caused her to actually consider a more voluptuous figure being something to go for, “the ability to tap into my power whenever you wish, within restrictions I set upon you. But the part that will likely most appeal to you is the longevity and slower aging.”

“So, what’s the catch?”

“Not much, as my High Priestess I’ll be able to use your body as a conduit, which includes inhabiting you as an avatar for short periods of time, you’ll have full recollection of everything that I did while using you as an avatar. Most deities aren’t as nice, usually taking possession of the being that acts as their avatar and basically causing blackouts in their memories for the length of time they are an avatar.”

“Do you know what happened with me and Spike on the train? I’ve never been so shameless before.”

“Nothing much, your desires just got a little out of control, that’s partially my fault. I kind of lowered your inhibitions towards those sorts of things for the period of time all the way up to a few moments after you finished your kiss. As for the kiss itself, I had nothing to do with that, that was all you. Although, your kissing skill might have gotten a bit of a boost from some of my residual energies running around in your system from when I gave you a sexy body as thanks.”

“A bit, I practically acted like a seductress in the time leading up to the kiss, you’re saying that was mostly me?”

“Surprisingly, yes. It’s one of the reasons I offered to make you my High Priestess instead offering to be a priestess. Something about your natural magic is highly compatible with my own magical energies, it’s probably why you’re having bursts of eroticism in close proximity to Spike.”

“If I accept your offer will I be able to keep such behaviors better in check?”

“Yes and no, as my High Priestess your magics will be entwined with mine in a way that isn’t usually seen in the mortal realm. Your first few days will actually have you experiencing a heightened sex drive, which is why traditionally when my new High Priestesses were announced there was usually a sexual orgy that lasted most of the day, it was designed to get those sexual urges down to a more manageable level. Of course, that was when my worshippers numbered in the hundreds of thousands, for you it will only be one partner and intercourse will likely last several days. I recommend you drink lots of revitalizing fluids, like most of that fresh water you brought with you.”

“Is there a way to shorten it?”

“If you and your partner bathe in holy water for several days it might be enough to drop your time of extended intercourse down by a slightly noticeable margin. But to get holy water you need to be a properly ordained priestess, which as a goddess I can do by the time you wake up.”

“You know what, your offer doesn’t sound too bad. Do your followers have to give you offerings?”

“Prayers are usually all I really need, but I won’t accept blood offerings of any kind. I might be a dragon but I abhor the taking of life, especially the unnecessary kind, that probably also factored into why dragons chose to relegate me to a minor role.”

“Alright, I’ll be your High Priestess, besides I’m gonna need something to keep myself occupied once the final Daring Do book is published.”

“Excellent, your first task will be to increase my following, after you take care of what you need to with Spike.”

“Before we finish up here,” said Daring, “you’ve been watching Spike his entire life, how much of his infatuation with Rarity was your work?”

“None, I actually tried to steer him away from that overly long crush, I tried redirecting him towards her younger sister and the other fillies around the town. But that’s to be expected, I haven’t had the ability really influence dragons for far too long. I only recently regained the ability to influence dragons, like him. I took his respect for you and made it follow the proper progression towards romantic and sexual desires for you.”

*********************************

Daring woke up early that morning, she somehow knew instinctively the direction of a water source for bathing in. Using the holy powers her new priestess status granted her she blessed the waters and made them holy before bathing in them, after climbing out she blessed the waters another time.

After she got out of the water she noticed her bustline had enlarged again, she wanted to make her new bust size a bit of a surprise to Spike so she used her natural pegasus magic to keep her breast size close to the same it had been on the ride up. As she approached the camp she could sense Spike’s attention being on her as she drew near, she chose to pretend she hadn’t noticed, it would make things more fun that way. Spike’s awkward asking for the direction of the bathing pool was adorable, she couldn’t help having a little fun at his expense.

Author's Notes:

So yea, we got a little more of the goddess this time around. This time she was showing off a bit of how malleable a deity’s form can be.

Next chapter we actually get into some clop, so it might be a while since I want to make sure of a few things.
