The Sword In The Stone

Jason was a young urban treasure hunter who loved traveling around from towns to cities looking for the most valuable treasure he could find. His searches had earned him the title "Treasure Finder" due to all his success. The item he was searching for this time was an ancient sword dubbed "The Changeling Blade". Its said to hold great power to anyone who would dare brave to find it. Jason's search had led him into a small remote village deep within a rain forest.

"Hmmmm, my travels may be about to pay off." Jason said arriving in the village with his driver and guide Danny.

"I hope your right sir." Danny said parking the car looking around seeing some of the villagers staring at them. "What an odd village. I hope these locals are friendly." He said worryingly.

"Oh calm down Danny its fine. I know who I'm looking for." Jason said jumping up out of the jeep they arrived in, dusting himself off. "Now." He began walking up to a local. "Do you know where I can find the merchant of this village?" Danny asked a village woman who nodded motioning them to follow her.

"Well I guess this is the best lead we have, or the only one." Danny said.

"Yeah so lets go." Jason said following her with Danny behind them.

They all walked throughout the village coming to a big hut decorated with odd skulls and colorful necklaces and such.

"This is the merchants tent. I will take my leave now." The woman said bowing walking out of sight.

"Heh." Jason chuckled entering the hut.

"Wait for me!" Danny said following.

Inside the hut the two stumbled across an elderly man sitting in the center smoking from a long pipe. His walls covered with exotic and eerie looking items making Jason automatically know he's in the right place. Sitting down before him he began.

"Oh great merchant I come from the mainlands in search of the the sword changeling blade." Jason explained.

"I see young one. Well your search has not gone in vein." The old merchant said looking up. "For I have the map leading to its location, but are you willing to make the sacrifice that comes with finding this blade?" He asked Jason who smirked.

"Heh, if I wasn't willing to take the risk I wouldn't be here." He replied with the Merchant looking up chuckling a bit.

"Well if your certain you want to grow through this then here." The merchant said handing Jason a map. "You'll find the sword through this map. I wish you good luck and a safe journey."

"Thanks, we'll do our best!" Jason said standing up bowing.

"Woah looks legit." Danny said taking it from Jason reading it.

"Yeah it is now lets go." Jason said walking out with Danny in tow.

The two left from the merchants hut heading into the thick dense forest following the maps directions. They climbed rocky paths, cut through thick branches, and trailed through mini rivers.

"Are we there yet?" Danny asked following Jason.

"Yeah were here, it should be right about here!" Jason yelled out excitedly going through a bush coming out into a huge clearing.

"Wait really!" Danny said eagerly following.

Making it out they both saw a huge clearing with no living grass within it. Just a rocky hard surface with a huge stone in the center of it, with a sword stuck inside.

"The changeling blade! I've finally found it!" Jason said walking up to it examining it taking photos. "All those months of searching are about to pay off!"

"Man that is one wicked blade. I am in shock." Danny added.

"Mhm, now its time to rightfully claim it." Jason said standing over it.

"It looks stuck, you sure you can grab it?" Danny asked worryingly walking up to his friend standing over him.

"Yeah the ancient legends saying those who find it may pull the sword from the stone and claim it for there own, accepting the curse that comes with it of course which I am up for."

"Eh, al-alright man. I'll always support your choices." Danny gave encouragement to his friend giving him a thumbs up.

"Thank you my friend. Your troubles will not go unpaid. FOR NOW I SHALL CLAIM THIS BLADE AS MY OWN! ACCEPTING ITS CURSE FULLY!" Jason said grabbing the handle with both hands pulling with all his strength releasing the blade from the stone. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled out being engulfed by a bright light before Danny.

"Jasoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!" Danny yelled out watching his friend.

Jason's body glowed being bathed in a bright light. His skin smoothing out and body hair falling off his body. Danny witnessed Jason's arms and legs thinning out, with his hands and feet shrinking becoming petite and small. Jason's hair then grew longer into a ponytail turning purple gaining a spiky bang in front of his new hairstyle.

"Man this is incredible." Danny said watching in shocked still.

Jason's eyes turned a light purple color while his face changed more cutely. Jason's chest then expanded into a small B-Cup sized with his shirt turning into a blue blouse like shirt. Jason's body then curved out a bit with his pants turning into small shorts with a sword holder attached to the side of it. At this point Danny knew his friend was now a girl fully by now seeing his waist down was sleek and slender giving him longer legs being covered by boots he now wore. Jason's socks turned dark becoming thigh high socks creeping up her legs stopping. Soon after Jason's body was released falling into Danny's arms.

"Wouha, J-jason you alright man?" Danny asked seeing his friends eyes open slowly.

"Mmmmmm, yeah I am fine Danny. Just...Man what a head rush that was." Jason said getting up stretching holding the sword in her grasp. "I did it," She said examining her body. "But this price I can deal with. I'm sure things will get interesting from here on out."

"You sure your okay with being a girl? It might be permanent." Danny said a bit worried.

"I am fine, and I am sure about this. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken the risk. This sword I possess now has the ability to change the gender of anything it slashes." Jason said suddenly turning the blade to her friend. "I think I will test this power on you my friend." She said raising the blade.

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! NO I DON'T WANNA BE A GIRL PLEASE NO?!" Danny pleaded dropping to his knees with fear in his eyes.

"Its to late, I shall demonstrate this pow-...er...pffft....pfahahahahahaha! Got you!" Jason began laughing holding her sides to her friend who's shivers turned into confusion.

"You were joking? You asshole! Or well, Bitch!" He shouted out angrily with Jason wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Oh calm down dude, I was only messing with you. Sheesh hehehehe." She smiled playfully.

"What am I gonna do with you." Danny said crossing his arms.

"Sorry okay. But I'm just so happy I found this treasure." Jason explained. "Anyway just call me Jamie for now."

"Fine I guess. Will be awkward considering you were a guy earlier. But I guess if your truly fine with this then I have no choice. Only makes adventuring with you more interesting heh." Danny laughed.

"Indeed but hit on me and I kick you in the nuts." She said with a scary face.

"Okay......" Danny said rolling his eyes watching Jamie sheathe the sword back into its holder on her side. "Lets go see the merchant and tell him of our success."

"Right." Jamie agreed walking back to the village with Danny following behind. "I have a feeling things are just getting started.

And so Jamie's treasure hunting days had only just begun. With Danny by her side and the changeling blade at her disposal. Who knows what else was out there waiting for her to discover it.
