“I can’t thank you enough for this, you really saved my livelihood and me when you swooped in and took down those bandits. I would have been ruined if they stole from my carriage.” 

A vintner named Connor wildly gesticulated as he thanked his savior. A lady wearing open toed heels, displaying her blue painted toenails. A ring on her second largest toe of both feet, that lead to blue fabric stretching towards the rest of her foot. Albeit it was hidden by a layered shear bodysuit that covered nearly her entire body. With windows that showed her skin at her hips and shoulders. The bodysuit stretched over her arms until it stopped before her wrists, with a single extension covering her middle finger in the cloth. The rest of her fingers laid bare, displaying the blue painted nails. She wore another piece of white clothing over her and upper arms. From behind, it was obvious that her bodysuit was backless. And the white clothing fanned over her rear, like the feathers of a crane. An outfit that was surprisingly unscathed from her recent combat. The woman’s skin was unblemished, and her eyes were radiant pearls. Her silver hair was long and ended in a single braid that went down her back. The most important part of her ensemble were the ropes over her shoulder and holding her braid together. As they were utilized to contain the natural malice within her. Although, she wore a neutral and restrained expression as she listened to the brewers incessant prattling. This human woman has commonly been mistaken as one of the divine beings, Adepti, in the past. Although it was not that great of an exaggeration as she possessed strength unmatched by any other human in the Liyue region. She was known as Shenhe, an ethereal soul amidst the mortal realm. An individual instrumental in the reconstruction of the Jade Palace and defeating Beist the Leviathan. It was during this time that Shenhe was able to use her strength for the good of others, bringing her a step closer to human society. Although, progress is never a linear path, it is full of hills and valleys as will be made apparent through Shenhe’s journey.

“…You must return with me to the Dawn Winery so that I may repay you, for what you have done for me.” The vintner had ended.

“That would be out of the way.” Shenhe curtly said as she began to walk away. 

She would have continued if she hadn’t looked back and saw the taxed and dismayed look on his face. Shenhe recalled why she was heading to Mondstadt in the first place. Cloud Retainer had created a new experimental device, one that would be tested in Mondstadt. With the assistance of the Knights of Favonius. Of course, after several errands completed in human civilization, Shenhe had realized that Cloud Retainer was just trying to get her exposure to contemporary society. Something that she had missed out on growing up due to her unique circumstances. Shenhe was plussed about this. She was determined to complete both the explicit and implicit directives of her task. Over the multiple requests, Shenhe had come to realize that burdening oneself due to another may not always be perceived as a burden by them. A blunt and persistent rejection may hurt his emotions and make him feel unjustly indebted. Thus, Shenhe had turned around and accepted Connor’s offer.

Apparently, it was only a small detour, one that Shenhe hoped that Jean, acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, would understand. The vintner gave her a tour of his collection of wines and liquors. An experience that she found to be very informative as she had spent most of her life just drinking water dew and eating Qingxin leaves. The tour ended with the vintner offering Shenhe to take as much of his stock that she can carry. Again, in his words, if it weren’t for her, his business would have been ruined. The vintner than walked off as his attention was called somewhere else. This would typically be the point where Shenhe would have picked up an obscenely large number of bottles with her absurd strength and balanced center of gravity. Instead, she decided that this would be the best time to pull out the device that she kept attached to the side of her hip. It was in the form of a teapot, similar in design to Madame Ping’s teapot but much smaller. Cloud Retainer had designed this teapot to work under similar principles as Madame Ping’s teapot. Although instead of whisking the individual into the realm within the teapot. This teapot shoots out an imaginary space over a specified radius, a “fragile realm”. Once designated, anything within this fragile realm will shrink along with the realm itself. This would seem to be a downgrade compared to Madame Ping’s serenitea teapot. However, the difference between the two is that Cloud Retainer’s new device, used a lot less adeptal energy than the other teapot. It is to the point that Vision holders and regular people should be able to use it as well. It was created with the intention of being mass produced. So far Cloud Retainer had already completed a stress test.  It was observed that things that were shrunken down didn’t degrade or had their internal structures compromised during the shrinking process. She had yet to test it on organic matter, but she planned on doing it on resilient volunteers like one of the other Adepti. Cloud Retainer had already surmised that the smaller the organic matter, the greater the amount of energy they would exude. In other words, the smaller they are, the more heat they lost. Shenhe was unaware of this conjecture and already left to carry out the regional generalizability test. To see if the device worked in an area with abysmal adeptal Energy. Mondstadt.

Shenhe, taking Connor’s words at face value and seeing this as an opportunity to begin testing the device. She rubbed the teapot clockwise, away from her and towards the drinks. It shot a virtual bubble at the inventory before it shrunk away. Shenhe now picking it up and putting it in her satchel. She walks out before seeing Connor and bidding him farewell.

“Huh, that lady didn’t even take a drop of liquor. You know sometimes people can be too good for their own…sake?” Connor paused as he walked back to his inventory seeing that it was empty. 

“Sigh, I guess I am going to have to put up a quest for corollas and wheat again” Connor said despondently.

Shenhe had made significant ground since she had left the Dawn Winery. She had made it all the way to Springvale, but the sun was already down. Thinking it best not to alert the guards of Mondstadt and make them overly suspicious of a new character, Shenhe decided to camp out for the night. She laid down under the moon light, reflecting on her day. Thinking of the events under the context of how she conducts herself tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amber had gotten up early this morning. As the sole Outrider of Mondstadt, Amber had a responsibility to ensure the security of the outskirts. In addition to her regular duties, she was told by a sleep-deprived Jean that a representative of Liyue should have arrived by last evening. There were no concerns of her safety, as according to Ningguang’s endorsement, this individual was of great strength and determination. Amber had left for the main entrance of Mondstadt, the sun bright this summer day. Amber had wiped the sweat off her brow,

“Whew it’s hot. I’m probably going to sweat buckets today if I stay out for too long. This would go a lot quicker if she could use her glider within the town.” As she reached the front gate, she was stopped by the guard, Swan. 

“Oh Amber. Good to see you. If you are going out today, Dawn Winery may need some assistance.” Swan asked.

“Sure. I’m surprised that it isn’t Diluc handling this himself. Considering how he feels about us and all.” Amber said as she rubbed the back of her head.

“It’s nothing big, just some missing inventory. One of his brewers, Connor lost a large portion of his alcohol. Not much we could do about it now without a lead. Just keep an eye out.” Swan waved Amber goodbye as she had set off on a light pace, in the direction that the Liyue representative would most likely arrive from. Her destination of Springvale already in her sight. Not much was out of the ordinary, Amber even kept an eye out for a sign of bandits or mercenaries that could have stolen the alcohol. Rather, the first sign of disturbance was not on the way to Springvale, but as she arrived at the village.

“How many times do I have to tell you, put the boar down.” Draff, the Kätzlein hunter, said menacingly as he held his bow. There was an arrow notched at the women holding the squealing boar to her thigh.

“Sir, you need to calm down, I don’t think the women means any harm. Wait, Sir Draff, have you been drinking this early in the morning. It’s only six in the morning!”

“I won’t let that woman take my daughter. Hiccup, urp. You can’t have her hand in marriage.” Draff drunkenly let the arrow fly as Shenhe catches it with her free hand. She looked at the foolish woman with an irritated look on her face.

“Get the flask off of him.” A Springvale hunter yelled at him and another tackled Draff into the pool of water at Springvale. “Noooo brbrlbrp.” Draff yelled as he sunk into the pool of water, never learning how to swim and in his intoxicated state mistook to pool for a deep lake. Dragging his fellow hunters to flounder in the shallow body. The residents of Springvale looking on at the scene dismissively at the nearly daily spectacle of one of their chiefs. It is no one wonder that his daughter had spent most of her time at Mondstadt. Shenhe had let the boar go at this point.

“Hey, are you okay? That was a nice catch!” Amber said as she jogged over to check on Shenhe’s condition.

“Wait, you don’t look like you are from around here…wait are you the Liyue representative. Sweet. score one for Outrider Amber!” Amber shouted as she shot her hand through the air triumphantly.

“By the way, how did you end up in this situation? You carrying the boar and all.” Amber asked as Shenhe eyes lingering at Amber’s fist as it left the air. Still pondering the purpose of such an action.

“I had noticed this flower with a sweet scent that looked like would make for a good breakfast. The beast, or boar, had intercepted the meal. So, I apprehended the boar before it consumed my breakfast. Then the crazy vagrant came yelling about how this boar was his daughter.” Shenhe had finished her recounting of the events, before taking the sweet flower and stuffing in her mouth. Enjoying the taste of her breakfast as Amber rubbed the back of her head. Lightly laughing at the incredulous situation and the unique individual she encountered.

“My name is Amber, the sole Outrider of Knight of Favonius. To my understanding, you are the representative from Liyue here to deliver a parcel, correct?” Amber held out her hand.

“Shenhe. It is a pleasure to meet you.” Staring at the hand, before slowly reaching out and shaking it.

“If you don’t mind. I would be more than happy to escort you myself to Mondstadt. It is not a dangerous transit, but it’s always more fun to do such things in company.” Amber said as Shenhe nodded, not fully understanding what Amber had meant. 

After that situation, and due to Amber’s insistence, the two women stopped by Brook’s place for more substantial food. They then took a seat on the grass, looking out at the watery moat that separated Mondstadt from Springvale and the surrounding area. Shenhe studied the “Sweet Mondstadt” silently before taking a bite. “Hmm. This tastes just like the flower.” Shenhe said before thanking Amber. “No problem, although this meal would taste better with something to drink, but the villagers here try to keep that stuff locked up because of Draff. I don’t know how he ends up getting a flask full every so often.” As Amber finished talking, Shenhe had rubbed the something on the side of her hips pulled out several bottles of wine. 

“Woah! Where did you put all of those?” Amber said as she looked for any place that Shenhe could have hidden these drinks.

“I got these from the Dawn Winery. A man offered me to take as much as I could carry so I have plenty left over if you want some more?” Amber connected the dots after listening to Shenhe.

“These wouldn’t happen to be from a man named Connor, would they?” Amber asked as Shenhe had nodded affirmatively.

“Yes, I actually used the device that I was asked to bring to Jean.” Shenhe had then shown the device, the virtual space containing the wine, and a couple other invisible permeable membranes containing an assortment of supplies. She explained its function, and the reason that she is delivering this to Amber’s acting Grandmaster. 

“Well, that was a lot to take in, and we’re going to have to return most of that wine back as that brewer didn’t expect you to take that much-splash.” Amber had accidentally tipped over one of the wine bottles onto Shenhe, splashing the liquid on her clothes. Shenhe looked at the color that now dyed her clothes. 

“Oops! Sorry, I can wipe that off.” Amber tried to look for a spare cloth as Shenhe got up.

Shenhe stood up, “Thank you for your concern. I can wash the drink off at the lake nearby.” Shenhe said politely. Walking away before giving a chance for Amber to respond.

Amber sighed at her clumsiness, hoping that she hadn’t soured her new partner’s mood. Although Amber couldn’t tell as Shenhe had kept a reserved expression during the entire conversation. “It wasn’t like she was trying to withhold her emotion. Rather, it’s more like she is forcing herself to be emotional.” Amber thought to herself as she had begun to inspect the device left behind by Shenhe. Amber was trying to figure out how the device operate, something that would be I’ll-advised in untrained hands. Especially when alone and with a mind focused on other thoughts. Amber had rubbed the pot a certain way as it pointed towards her. It had all happened within a second. A bubble was released from the pot before colliding with her skin and expanding to cover her entire body. The world became muted and a blur as everything seemed to be moving as Amber stood still. A sense of vertigo developing as in the face of this new phenomena. To an observer, Amber had seemed to vanish instantaneously. When, in reality, she had swiftly decreased in height, from 5’4” to 1”. One moment the device was in her hands, the next it was a towering obelisk in front of her. Despite her body’s aptitude for gliding, Amber’s vestibular system was not prepared for the sudden change in her outdoor senses. Before she could situate herself, Amber had already kneeled over and was vomiting the food that she had consumed just a few moments ago. Her body shivering despite the radiating heat of the sun.

Shenhe had went off to wash herself of the sticky residue. The swiftness in which the liquid had seeped and dried into her clothes made the endeavor difficult enough that Shenhe had debated whether she should take her sleeves off or ask Amber for help. The outrider had presented as an oddity for Shenhe, as she was unfamiliar with Amber’s bubbly personality, casual nature, and friendliness. The Adepti, we’re ethereal and divine in nature, making it hard to approach them even if they wanted to establish amicable relationships. The same could be said for Liyue humans, as over time they have mistaken Shenhe for an adeptus, resulting in them acting in a state of reverence towards her. It wasn’t until she had met Lumine and the others on her mission to the Jade Palace that Shenhe had realized that there were social nuances and intricacies to human social interactions that she was oblivious to. Shenhe had slowly come to realize that she couldn’t just smash in a person’s head if they looked at her weirdly. Thus, when her thoughts drifted to Amber, Shenhe decided to keep an open mind with how she would interact with her. Not wanting to offend her as she had nearly done with Connor the brewer. Especially since she worked under the grandmaster of Mondstadt. Regardless of how odd her actions may seem to her, Shenhe would do her best to act in accordance with them. Thus, she kept that mindset when she returned to the area of their impromptu lunch. Although Shenhe was slightly surprised to see that no one was around. Her device and other items left alone. Shenhe had considered searching for her, but ultimately decided against it. As she was a capable Knight of Favonius, she was probably familiar with the area and the threats within. If she were to go searching for her, she would more likely get herself lost and separated from Amber. Extending the time for her to arrive at Mondstadt. Shenhe sat back down on her spot. Proud of the conclusion she had arrived due to her experiences in the human world. She took off her heels and let her stirrup-covered feet feel the cool breeze of this region’s air. Shenhe had then dropped her feet down and pressed them into the grass to feel the moist morning dew. Feeling a lump under her right foot. Something that she had attributed to a clump of grass overlaying itself. Nothing that would merit her immediate concern as she waited for Amber. She proceeded to press her feet into the grass, noticing the resistance the lump had displayed. Shenhe had pumped her feet several times to savor the moisture at her feet, as the slight annoyance beneath the ball of her foot grew. Eventually Shenhe had exerted a greater pressure on that specific patch of grass, until it flattened with the rest of the grass.

When Amber’s senses had returned, she was astounded by the new scale in front of her. Blades of grass, just a blur from her former stature now reached to the level of her torso and beyond. The ambient sounds of nature had taken a whole new pitch and timbre. Either muted due to the overwhelming distance of her new scale or with a new depth. Her vision could only stretch so far, her perceived world much smaller, as the anything too far in the distance was just a blur. The city of Mondstadt, now looking not that different from the mountain ranges of Dragonspine. After she had gotten over her initial sickness, Amber had thought that her body would warm up. Unfortunately, despite the warm sun, Amber’s small stature and the cool breeze made it seem like the rays never reached her. Her clothes had thankfully still on her body after the transformation as Amber thought that it nearly felt as cold as Dragonspine. A condition that she would not be able to sustain for that long without expiring. Amber had rushed over to the obelisk of the device to look for a way out of her predicament.

“Dang it. Why doesn’t this thing have an instruction manual? It’s not user friendly at all. If only I waited for Shenhe to come back or at least explain how the device worked.” Amber said as she held her hands close to her body, trying to warm herself up. 

Thump

Thump

As if on cue, Shenhe was returning from cleaning her clothes at the lake. Her arrival had brought about seismic activity that gave Amber another reason to shiver. The sonic booms first sending Amber into a panic before she lost her footing due to the shockwave.

THUMP

THUMP

 Amber had fallen flat on her face. Wondering what was causing these successive earthquakes.

CRASH

A voluminous sound and burst of wind had passed over Amber as she struggled to stay adhered to the ground and not blown away. Finally, after the elements had dissipated, the bunny eared girl was able to look up. A woman who was only an inch taller than her at 5’5”, now towered over her like the statue of the Anemo Archon. The rays of the sun reflecting off her hair and illuminating her body, as if she were an archon herself. Thunderous sounds coinciding with the movement of her limbs, signaling at the great strength that was hidden beneath her muscle. Amber was nearly convinced that she was an archon herself from that sight. Breaking out of her stupor as she was reminded of the chill that went down her back. Amber got back up to begin her trek to this relative goddess, as she was already out of options on how to return to her former size. Amber pulled out of her satchel her handy Outrider Glider. To expedite her trip as Amber concluded that she would freeze to death before reaching the frosty beauty that lay before her. With a simple draft equivalent to a gust of wind, Amber had taken off the ground and maneuvered herself towards Shenhe. Something that she had begun to regret as the cold air bit into the exposed parts of her skin. If Amber didn’t have prior experience gliding in Dragonspine she would have fallen off right as she took off. Through grit and perseverance Amber had reached over halfway to Shenhe just as she was removing her heels. A simple action that had a large impact on the micro impact that Amber existed in. The departure of the footwear from Shenhe’s feet and onto the grass below, created an unexpected shockwave that was not typical of the environment of Dragonspine. One that belted Amber twice over, regardless of her skill as a glider, she had lost control and was veering dangerously close to land. Again, if it weren’t for her plethora of experiences as a glider, she would have simply been knocked out. Instead, she oriented her body into a rolling maneuver to spread and disperse the damage applied to her body. Amber laid winded on the grass. The moisture dampening her clothes as she took deep breaths between her clenched teeth. Feeling the cold began to set in her bones, Amber had begun to wonder if this was it. A foreign scent had wafted up to her nostrils. One that caused her to recoil and open her eyes. Expecting to be blinded by the sun, Amber instead saw a structure that cast a shadow over her. Five projections pointing up towards the sky, attached to a large central body covered with horizontal ridges. It had a frosty white color and looked to be covered by a black and blue material that stretched over the middle of its body, before disappearing as the ridged white body met the grass. Through bated breaths, Amber had noticed the horizontal ridges move, as the projections from the top curled into the main body. Unable to move, her body battered and hypothermia setting in, Amber was only able to look at the landform that blocked the life-giving rays of sun from her. It was as this structure began to fall towards her, that Amber was able to discern the identity of the odd cliff in front of her as Shenhe’s foot.

THUD

At first Amber thought that she was going to be unknowingly suffocated or crushed by the gorgeous women that she had tried to seek assistance from. A light pressure encompassed Amber’s world. Shenhe was just resting her foot on the grass at this point. The movement of air outside of the feet caused Amber’s ears to burst. A sour odor pervaded her senses, as Shenhe had traveled a long distance with as few breaks as possible. Amber, between gasps, had let the salty residue of the organic press drip on to her tongue. Amber’s senses were left scrambled, unable to process all this information. She was trapped in this hellish chamber where the scent of Shenhe’s trek had reached a new depth for the spunky glider. The sweat, imperceptible to the giant woman’s eye, had mixed in with the dew that wet Amber’s clothes. The fallen mountain seemed to have its own ecosystem, the blood pumping through the appendage sounded like a hidden river. The mixture of these sensations disoriented Amber for an unknown length of time. It wasn’t until Amber’s eyes perceived a literal glimmer of light that she was able to orient herself.  Through the sliver of space created by the gap between Shenhe’s foot and the grass, Amber ascertained that she was at the ball of her foot, right between her big and second toe. With light, meant there was an exit, something that Amber would have taken advantage of if her mind was not focused on another concern that was finally resolved. “It’s warm.”

The relative safety of Amber’s current condition was made evident to her due to subsequent change in environment. The organic press had become firmer as it applied more pressure on the grass and her. Now unconcerned about hypothermia, Amber had pushed her arms up towards the sole of her new friend. Although all that she was able to accomplish was increasing the pain in her elbows. Her hands falling to the wayside as the foot fell towards the grass and onto Amber’s body. Her world cast back into darkness as the sliver of light, and her exit, disappeared. Amber could feel her lungs strain against the pressure placed upon her with each inhalation, and her face was smeared by the earthy smell of Shenhe’s flesh. Amber noticed some relief when she exhaled, realizing that Shenhe hasn’t put all or that much pressure in her feet yet. Amber began to pray to Barbatos that he would give her the freedom to escape from this situation. Hoping that Shenhe would just lift her foot up as she rhythmically scrunched her toes overhead. Obviously deriving enjoyment from her action, that also unknowingly caused Amber a great amount of suffering. Amber had begun to hyperventilate, diffusing the Shenhe’s earthy scents into her lungs as she had noticed that the pressure was increasing. She felt her ribs begin to creak, as she had become increasingly concerned that Shenhe was targeting her body specifically. The flesh of the feet forcing its way into her mouth mid-breath. Amber’s face had begun to turn red and then blue as she struggled to breathe. Not struggling, she focused her strength in moving her face to the side in one quick motion. Amber’s face now towards the side as the ball of Shenhe’s foot pressed down on her face. Amber had begun to wonder if her efforts were hopeless, it was almost as if the skin was adhering to Amber’s muggy clothes.

“Wait…!”

Slam

The space between the grass and Shenhe’s foot had disappeared along with the body of Amber. The foot splayed out on the grass, Shenhe’s toes fanning out, satisfied at having conquered the errant grass. Shenhe allowed the air to pass between her toes as she looked around at the grass. She noticed a small pair of wings in the grass, beginning to wonder if there were insects nearby. Shenhe scrunched her toes back in, feeling another lump being squeezed by her toes. This time, it was evident to her that the lump was not continuous with the grass. Perplexed, Shenhe had begun to wonder if the thing that lay beneath her feet was an insect. Maybe it was even the lump that was under her ball earlier. “It returned to my feet even though it almost expired underneath them, what an odd bug.” She thought back to her days as a child, where she would one-sidedly callously play with insects. Their interactions usually ending with her squishing them a variety of ways. Times that she remembered fondly as it was before she was nearly sacrificed by her father and when she was newly adopted by Cloud Retainer. Before squishing this insect, Shenhe decided to deign it with an audience with her, so she could consolidate this memory to recall later. Her blue painted nails reflected the light as she gripped the object between the toes of her right foot. She placed the foot on her lap as she prepared to crush the thing between her toes after glimpsing at it. Shenhe would not follow through with this action as instead of an insect, she saw her bunny eared colleague. 

Just before the overbearing mass had squeezed the contents of Amber out of her body, the bunny eared girl realized a way out. As she used the sweat, in addition to her strength, to move her mouth out of the overly affectionate and earthy flesh. She would use the liquid in her clothes to act as lubricant. Amber had swiftly unbuckled the straps on her clothes, as the pressure increased twice-fold, Amber realized that she was nearly out of time as she put her plan into motion. Using the pressure applied to her, and swift directed movements on her part to squeeze herself out of her clothes like toothpaste and out of the ball between Shenhe’s second and biggest toe. Leaving a naked Amber in between two blue headed behemoths.

“I have to find my glider.” Amber said between labored breaths. She had nearly been crushed without Shenhe even noticing her. Amber doubted that she would be able to make it far if Shenhe had decided to make any more moves or walk away. No, she needed a straight shot towards her ear, and Amber had the confidence in her glider skills to get it done. Where is it, Amber said as she had walked away from toes, only getting several feet, relative to her size, before once again falling over. It wasn’t due to the battering her body received, rather the frigid cold had returned to Amber’s body. Despite being under the sun, Amber had realized that this was very much like her time in Dragonspine. Where if an individual didn’t pace themselves between lamps, they would immediately freeze to death. Unfortunately. Due to her recent maneuver to escape five headed leviathans, Amber was without clothes or gear that she could have used with her Pyro ability to warm herself up. Thus, Amber had walked back to the toes that were currently airing themselves out, the blue painted nails laid upon the bulbous toes, a ring around Shenhe’s second toe connecting the stirrup to her foot. From farther away, the skin looked pristine, matching the beauty of the goddess that was laid before Amber. However, from her prior experience, she knew that this appendage also held the brutality and strength of a goddess. Regardless, Amber had to see if she could retrieve any of her gear. At least that is what she told herself. Having lost the overwhelming embrace of Shenhe’s foot, and being thrust back into this cold microscopic world, Amber was slightly desirous to expose herself to that warmth once more. Just as Amber had reached down and under Shenhe’s fanning toes. Now under less dire circumstances, Amber had noticed some features of the former death trap that she had missed. Even though, Shenhe had undoubtedly traveled a long distance, her toes and sole looked soft and firm. The soft concentric ridges and swirls differentiated these organic appendages from the sharp crevices of cliffs in Mondstadt. As Amber trailed her hand on the feet, it reacted by pumping its blood more swiftly upon contact. Closed to the ball of the foot, Amber could not find any sign of her clothes. Betwixt the toes and sole, Amber had noticed a familiar scent mixed in with the strong earthy musk. They were of this vegetation Lumine had on her one time. It was called Qingxin. It was a flower that gave off a sweet and aromatic perfume. The banality of it made the earthy smell more pronounced. The heat around Amber had reached a comfortable level. It was like when Amber had activated a flaming potion during one cold winter. For the first time since she was shrunken, Amber had relaxed. Something that the beast surrounding her had taken advantage of, as the vice grip of the toes enveloped the bunny eared girl. The sudden pressure sending Amber’s thought racing. The smell of Qingxin became stronger, but so did the threat to her own life. She recalled that she had felt ticklish in the underside of her toes. Hoping to convince Shenhe to look instead of casually crushing her body. Amber had begun to lick the bittersweet liquid that covered Shenhe’s toes. A task that was harder than the times she had done before as it was of her own volition. The taste reminding her of the dish that Eula always ate whenever they went to Good Sara for dining. Amber did not have that dish again. Amber had continued this action as the rays of the sun hit her and Shenhe’s eyes hyper focused on the sight before her.

Shenhe’s immediate reaction was one of concern. Her thoughts arrived at removing Amber from the traumatic conditions she was subjugated to, initially. It was when Shenhe noticed Amber’s position, lack of attire which laid on the sole of Shenhe’s foot, intimacy with her toes, and correlated them with the ticklish sensation.

“Am I misinterpreting the situation once again? I’m certain that I told Amber of the device’s purpose and that it is currently being tested. Yet, she is shrunken down committing actions that I have only heard about from Yunjin. Is it possible that Amber did this intentionally? That if I reverse this that I would end up hurting her. Like I nearly did with the brewer and have done to many others in the past.” Shenhe thought to herself as she extricated Amber from between the ball of her right foot and toes. Her stature diminutive, as Shenhe sat Amber on the palm of her hand. She was shaking slightly, but from her gestures and posture, Shenhe was certain that Amber was happy to see her. “Wow…how um unabashedly perverse can she be.” Shenhe thought to herself. Mistaking Amber’s relief at being found and apparently rescued from torture, for Amber being very open and forceful of her unique sexual predilections to a stranger. As someone who still had a tenuous grasp of human social conventions and norms, did some introspection upon this thought. “Who am I to judge her for her preferences, I smushed a lot of insects when I was a child because I enjoyed it. So, I understand her from the opposite side of the spectrum.” Shenhe had thought that she had grown out of that condition in the past, but as she continued to approach the topic internally, her curiosity continue to increase. Shenhe had brought Amber up to her ear to get her input. 

“…” “…” “…”

Shenhe had brought her hand back in front of her face after a few minutes. Seeing that Amber was now winded. Due to her dimensions smaller scale, the frequencies that Amber was able to produce were different to that of a normal human range. Shenhe, could not even hear a peep. “I’m sorry. If you said anything I couldn’t hear it.” Shenhe said back to her. Amber then dropped down on the palm, the frigid cold returning to her body due to her body’s much higher basal metabolic rate. A fact that had escaped both the giantess and the denizen on her palm. Shenhe stared at the submissive posture that Amber’s nubile body had adopted. Her bunny ears, now weighed down by moisture, were also drooping.  “Maybe she really does want to get closer to my feet. It was inappropriate for her to do it without my consent. But if I had similar predilections and were presented a device that made my wish come true, wouldn’t I take it. In fact, aren’t I already in a situation like it right now?” Shenhe’s processed the sight of Amber, her breath prickling the palm of her hand. “I know that she enjoyed it, maybe I would as well?” Shenhe had begun to lower herself and her hands towards the floor and her feet. Certain that if she was mistaken in her conclusion, Amber would signal her to stop.

A stroke of luck finally hit Amber as she laid on the palm of an inspecting Shenhe. Glad to have been found by the Liyue representative. She gestured excitedly, not even bothered by the slightly colder temperature on top of Shenhe’s palm. Her eyes stared at her intensely like a pair of moons. It wasn’t until Amber had to catch her breath that she noticed that Shenhe had not moved that much aside from visually inspecting her. Amber became slightly concerned that Shenhe might have confused her for something else when she looked over her body. A blush rising over her as she realized her lack of clothes. Before Amber could further dwell on the matter, Shenhe had moved her hand towards her ear. Amber nearly stumbling at the display of strength displayed by this giantess. Amber attempted to relay what transpired. How her new size had left her cold and forced her to find heat amongst her skin. She also thanked Shenhe for finding her, and that she needed to be returned to her former size. Then Amber waited for Shenhe’s response. When she wasn’t returned one, she had become concerned at the lack of activity on her partner. Amber began to yell again hoping that she would get a response this time. Finally, Shenhe had returned Amber to the front of her face after the third time. Amber now winded from yelling and shivering from the high altitude and the warmth of Shenhe’s skin only transferring to her soles. 

“I’M SORRY! IF YOU SAID ANYTHING I COULDN’T HEAR IT!”

Amber had dropped down due to the cold at this point, so Shenhe wasn’t able to see the effect her vocal cords had on the diminutive woman. Her eardrums burst as she couldn’t bring herself back up from the palm. The heavy warmth of Shenhe’s breath weighed on her body. The muggy vapors that smelled like the eviscerated Sweet Mondstadt now diffused through her respiratory system. This impromptu Anemo attack had left her feeling nubile and recovering body violated without rest. Her body shaking and feeling weak at the sudden warmth. Her skin felt clammy as the saliva and spittle, imperceptible to Shenhe, had coated Amber’s skin. A few words causing Amber to hyperventilate and lay prone in defeat. Fearful that if she were ever yelled at by such a large being, she would be whisked away. Amber was not sure what would be a worse fate to expire at the unintentional hands of this giantess or to freeze to death by herself. As Amber tried to recompose herself, she noticed that she and Shenhe were going back closer to the grass. Amber would have attempted to relay to Shenhe her befuddlement. Instead, she could only stare with growing concern as her platform had gotten further away from Shenhe’s torso. The giantess’s upper torso becoming blurry as the only thing that her vision did not lose focus on were Shenhe’s twin eyes, shining bright as twin moons amongst the beings’ indiscernible features. The platform morphed under Amber, now wrapping around her. The sun bouncing off the blue painted fingernails and momentarily blinding Amber. The black part of the stirrup stretched from her instep, proximal to the heel, before it changes color midway into a light blue, the most distal part stretching out and ending at a ring attached to her second toe. Shenhe flexed her toes and inched the ring from the second toe of her right foot and off. Opening a gap between the stirrup and the skin of her sole. Before Amber could react, she was inserted into the stirrup. Her body laid within the instep. Amber noticed the familiar sudden change in darkness and heat. 

“Wait, Shenhe!” Amber yelled despite Shenhe not possibly hearing her.

Shenhe brought the ring back over her second toe, stretching it tightly over her sole. Silencing Amber as her face and body was pushed upon the expansive sole. Shenhe had scrunched her toes to reach the ring over, Amber being released from the embrace of the sole momentarily, as it bended away. Amber took a deep breath as the ring went back over the second toe. Shenhe relaxed her toes now as the miniaturized girl was now a captive within the giant woman’s footwear. Amber was left questioning as to what led to this change of events as Shenhe had stood up. Keeping pressure off her right foot. Testing Amber’s endurance, not wanting to hurt her, but also wanting to give her the best experience that she could ask for. Shenhe has a slight smile as she slightly increased the pressure of her foot.

Amber was not sure why this was happening, but she braced herself for the ensuing pressure. Unlike when Amber was just between the grass and Shenhe’s sole, she did not feel as much pressure. The stirrup which was designed to provide cushion and support for Shenhe’s feet also cushioned Amber’s body and redistributed the pressure over the stirrup. The frigid cold was the last thing on her mind, as the heat was much greater than when she was under Shenhe’s toes. Before it was like being in a warm room during winter, now it was as if she was in the middle of the summer day. As hot as it was when she first walked out today. The clammy skin of Shenhe’s sole spread itself over Amber’s immobile body as the bittersweet scent of Qingxin and Shenhe’s sole wafted over her body. Amber felt the pressure decrease as the foot lifted into the air, before rushing back down to the grass.

THUD

The pressure spiking as Amber nearly lost her breath. Amber’s thoughts were only focused on survival as the foot’s arc continued.

THUD

Amber utilized the breathing techniques she picked up as the best glider in Mondstadt.

THUD

If not for that Amber may have already lost her breath and be left floundering within the confined space.

THUD

She exhaled upon every time the sole slammed down on her, and then inhaled as the foot lifted into the air. Careful not to choke on the stray sweat. 

THUD

This was successful if the foot followed the same arc, which it hadn’t. The pressure increasing to the point that Amber could not expand her chest. Stuck in a state of expiration. It had only lasted a moment before the pressure returned to normal, the foot lifted once more, this time straight up instead of moving forward. Then it dropped back down. This time Amber felt a different surface upon her back from that of the grass.

Shenhe visually checked that Amber was secure before standing back up slowly. She adjusted the weight on her right foot until she was satisfied that Amber’s body would not collapse under the stress her body was put through. Shenhe had begun to walk, each passing step her confidence growing with this course of action. A smirk emerged on the white-haired hermit as she recalled the feelings she had in subordinating smaller beings under her might when she was younger. “I think I might enjoy this as much as Amber.” Shenhe crouched to pick up her heels. She put them on one at a time. Making sure the straps were secure. It was the afternoon and Shenhe was ready to embark on the final portion of her trek to Mondstadt. The hot sun presided overhead, causing her body to perspire as she reached the entrance of Mondstadt without break as the sun went down.

“Excuse me Mam, could you give me your purpose for coming to Mondstadt today.” Shenhe wordlessly handed a document that Cloud Retainer penned, satisfying Swan’s question. He then directed Shenhe to the location of the Knights of Favonius headquarters. As Shenhe left for her destination, Swan had noted a smile that was uncharacteristically plastered on her face. 

Amber’s existence was that of pain. The stress her body was put through had increased under the sole and over the heel. Amber would have swiftly recognized that Shenhe put on her if she were not focusing all her attention on timing her breaths with Shenhe’s steps. Every step now compressing her chest to the point where she had no choice to exhale. Ambers own breath barely diluting the miasma that emerged as Shenhe had walked away from Springvale and on the road towards Mondstadt. Amber’s breaths became more labored as heat radiated from Shenhe’s sole from her minor physical exertion. If Amber’s body had not lost heat as soon as it accumulated it, her body would have burned up. Although, as Amber soon realized, this was not her greatest concern. As the sun crawled through the sky and out of sight, the sweat of captor would trickle down to certain parts of Shenhe’s body. Most prominently, for Amber, it included the sole that she lay under now. The accumulation under Shenhe’s sole, perceived as a sheen to someone of Shenhe’s stature, was a rising water level for Amber. The sweat dripped over Amber’s body, stinging the more sensitive parts over her. Before falling to that stirrup that bound Amber to the giantess’s sole. Amber thanked Barbatos, the puddle that she lay in did not go above the middle of her torso, as Shenhe’s stirrup were not air thought. If Shenhe was wearing any other footwear, Amber may have drowned. Although, the odor of her chamber became more pungent and bitter as the Qingxin fragrance lost the fight of predominance to the body’s natural odors. Change seems to happen whenever Amber became adapted to her environment.  As the road that Shenhe transverse shifted from gravel to brick road. The road less forgiving, Amber would now feel her ribs creak down to her lungs. It wasn’t until Amber heard a muffled voice that she vaguely recognized that she was back home. The constant pressure on Amber’s body soon causing her to gasp for air. Instead, her mouth was only met with the invasion of salty skin. Another near-death experience persisted until Shenhe had went in the direction Swan had pointed out. Amber struggling to regain her composure underfoot. The sweltering and ever present sole not making it easy. Amber was near tears as she knew that her home was probably not far from here. Berating herself for not taking the day off. The downpour of sweat has lessened under the cold night sky. The ambient temperature being more bearable as the sweat had begun to dry around Amber. A pruritic sensation spreading over her body, a disturbance intensified by her immobility. She tried to direct her attention elsewhere, such as the muted noises outside of Shenhe’s footwear. Thus, Amber was able to hear a new sound that repeated in succession. Before the familiar voice of her commander from high above. Amber had braces herself as Shenhe and her commander conversed on the experimental device and the trials that would need to be run for effectiveness, reproducibility, and quality control. All the while, Amber wanted nothing more than to scream her heart out, to be found, and extricated from this torture. Underfoot, Shenhe standing, Amber was forced to expire her air reserves and unable to inhale. The voices becoming mute as the odor around her became more prominent. Black spots appeared in Amber’s vision as her mouth was in an open-mouthed gasp. The air that diffused through her lungs in her last inspiration mostly composed of carbon dioxide. The last thing Amber thought of before her vision went black were the Qingxin. An aroma that was twisted and encompassed her as she had struggled underfoot of Shenhe. Her body going limp under Shenhe’s sole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shenhe had noticed a sudden burst of activity under her right foot followed before it stopped as Jean went over the individuals, she had in mind for the trial runs.

“To my understanding, Cloud Retainer’s concern is the ability of her device being a viable tool for our knights, adventurers, and even the common folk. Did she mentioned how she was going to handle distribution?” Jean questioned.

“Pardon me. I’m appreciative of the time you’ve allowed me to meet with you, especially considering how busy your schedule is. Would it be possible to table this conversation tomorrow? I have traveled from Liyue for the past two weeks and I’m feeling quite exhausted. Would you happen to have any spare lodging or where I might go?” Shenhe lied. As she was concerned for Amber’s state and needed an excuse to get to a private area to check on her.

Of course, We have a spare room right now. I can open some time in the morning to finish this conversation. Would 5:00 am suffice?” Jean offered.

Shenhe agreed and Jean led her to the room. Shenhe’s thoughts went back to the outrider that was along for the ride since Springvale. Shenhe had the liberty, due to the dearth of travelers and monsters on the road, to focus on Amber’s minute struggles under her sole. It brought her back to a time when life was much simpler, when she felt more in control of herself. Before she had to wear the ropes to bind her more sadistic tendencies along with her emotions. Having Amber underneath might have fed into those desires, but it had taken some of the burden off the ropes to a point where she could emote an expression of contentment. Unlike her resting face of placid emotions. Something that Shenhe would want to investigate for possible future considerations. That is of course if Amber was willing. Thus, when Shenhe had arrived at her room and bid the acting grandmaster a good night, she then checked her right foot. Shenhe removed her heels and slipped off her stirrups. Amber was unconscious, her hair and bunny ears were frayed, and her body seemed like it had been through a tough fight. Shenhe prior thoughts were replaced with an immediate concern for Amber’s well-being. Shenhe’s fear that she had inflicted irreversible damage to Amber was abated when she noticed the slow expansion and contraction of her chest. She placed Amber near the foot of her bed, before getting up on the opposite side of the mattress. Despite the night advancing, Shenhe chose to stay up for a couple hours until Amber roused from her involuntary rest. Breathing a sigh of relief, Shenhe started with an apology.

“I hope that you are feeling all right. I know that you wanted to experience this to the point that you would use the device without my permission and sexually satisfy yourself underneath me. That is fine, as I think that I enjoyed myself as well. But I think that this experience may have been too harmful for you.” Shenhe had paused with a yawn as allowed Amber to take it all in. 

Amber was once again overwhelmed by the booming articulation of Shenhe. Despite the torture she was put through, Amber was still astounded by her beauty. It took her a moment to process the first piece of dialogue as she blushed in embarrassment and humiliation. “Wait, she thought that I enjoyed this. Could it have been when I was trying to get her attentions from her toes.” Amber had stood up and fought through her nervousness and tried to mime what really happened. Unfortunately, Shenhe had already began to doze off. “Since I also derived some enjoyment from this encounter we shared, I don’t have the right to speak from a moral high ground. So, I’ll leave the decision to you. If you want to return to your former size, then activate the reversal process on the device.” Shenhe moved her hands in a pattern on the device in front of Amber. If not, then we will discuss future matters tomorrow morning. Shenhe had placed the device on the table adjacent to the bed before laying down on the mattress, unable to stay up any longer. As it was late into the night, she wanted Amber to make the decision without her input, and she was expected to wake up early tomorrow to meet with Jean. 

“Wait don’t go to sleep. I can’t get to the device even if I wanted to. My body can’t handle the cold!” Amber yelled to an unaware and now slumbering Shenhe. As she was used to sleeping out in nature, Shenhe did not choose to lay covers over her body. A choice that already left Amber shivering. “Dang it. What should I do? If I stay near her body that will just cause more misunderstandings. I don’t know how much energy I have left but I must get to her ear. Maybe biting or punching it will wake her up.” Amber thought as she began her trek to explain the situation to Shenhe. Amber had kept close to Shenhe’s body, to maintain her body temperature. Amber had given her all this past day just to make it to this point. Her will was a determined one, but her physical abilities had their limitations. The cold or the heat, both influenced her attention and cognitive arousal. Amber’s eyes slowly drooping and her feet stumbling. Eventually Amber had stopped. “Halfway there. Just a little rest and then I’ll get back to Shenhe’s face.” Amber said as she fell near Shenhe’s wide hips. Halfway to Shenhe’s head, but all the way to the land of dreams.

Shenhe, who fell asleep at the eve of midnight had woken up at an early 4:00 am. It was still dim within her room. The sun about to rise for the day, but not yet. She had woken up early in case Amber wanted to continue their activities. However, when she did not see her in her prior position, Shenhe had concluded that Amber probably had enough, or her desires were sated. Shenhe sighed, partly due to her reluctance to get off this ergonomic mattress, but also due to her looking forward to indulging in the diminutive girl’s interests and her own. Due to the darkness within the room, Shenhe had to focus on the area she had last seen Amber. Partially due to her drowsiness, she had not anticipated that Amber would travel along her body. To a location that Shenhe’s vision didn’t focus. 

Shenhe had gotten up and off the bed and went towards the device. She looked through the permeable spheres before picking the one that had her daily necessities. She returned the items to their original size; daily hygiene items and a change of clothes were deposited in her hands. Shenhe then started her morning routine in the shower, as Amber was still slumbering. Amber’s body temperature was decreasing at a slower rate as she slept, not expending as much energy when she was physically active. The four hours that Amber was asleep afforded her one dream, more aptly, a nightmare. As instead of Shenhe subjecting her to the physicality of her soles. Her friends were there as well. Through a fabricated reality that lasted for an indeterminate period. Her perspective switched multiple times. First Amber found herself on a brick road. She was small in stature but was somehow clothed once more. Before she could do anything, a shadow was cast over her. Amber looked up as she saw jean towering over her, her boot rushing towards her before making contact. THUMP THUMP THUMP. She was trodden under the boot of Jean, miraculously sticking to it, and being taken along by her ignorant commander. By the fifth step she had blacked out. Amber’s perspective had shifted to her swimming in a large white basin filled with an odd-smelling water. A large Barbara was overhead complaining about having had too much Boba tea, as she removed her lower garments. Amber realized she was within a toilet as she was pushed under by Barbara stream. Amber floundered within the water and urine before gasping back above surface level. Her clothes weighed her down as Barbara finished up. Her butt ascending before she pulled up her dark blue undergarments. Barbara turned around as Amber desperately waved. Pushing the plunger down as Amber swirled with the rapids and into the void. Amber’s body startled back up as her vision shifted. She noticed that she was on a plate of food. Amber’s bewilderment soon progressed to shock as she saw her friend Eula looking down at her. Not giving any indication of noticing her from above. Before she could react, a utensil went under her and she was elevated up to Eula’s mouth. Amber’s senses unusually detailed in this part of the dream. As she saw the trails of saliva between her friend’s teeth and her hot breath wafting up her body. Her yelling having no effect as she was submerged into the wet cavern. Amber had turned around as the last of the light had begun to escape from between Eula’s lips. Amber had expected darkness within the acidic saliva laced maw of her friend, but instead she was met with a bright light that had illuminated everything and made her disappear. Amber’s rest had ended as sun rose into the sky for an early summer morning. The window curtains opened, allowing the rays to wash over Amber as her eyes opened. 

At first disoriented, Amber noticed that she was still small. Wondering if this was just another dream. Shenhe had opened the bathroom door and walked out. A towel over her shoulder, Shenhe’s body and hair still slightly damp from her morning washing. Her ropes still oddly on her body as the rest of her body was naked. “Yea, I still don’t know if this is another nightmare or not.” Amber thought as Shenhe neared the bed. Her sizable breasts, toned abdomen, and vulva framed by white hair and wide hips were all laid bare to Amber. Amber noticed that Shenhe was not looking down towards the bed as she rapidly neared it. Shenhe had then turned around exposing her shapely posterior. Her ass just as large or larger than Eula’s dwarfed Amber. The diminutive girl had tried to run away but slipped on the mattress. Even though it was reality, it may have been worse than her fiction. 

PLOMF

Shenhe had settled down onto the bed. She rubbed her butt into the mattress as she felt a lump underneath her cheeks. Satisfied that the nuisance had disappeared, Shenhe, who preferred to air dry herself, had begun to brush her hair and braid it once more.

It was par for course for Amber by this point.  The left cheek settling over Amber, compressing her into the mattress. A tolerable experience compared to the compression she had experienced yesterday. Amber thanked Barbatos for being able to breathe easily and the softness of the mattress. “At least I won’t have a cold morning.” Amber pluses as she had grown accustomed to the crushing pressure of Shenhe’s mighty soles. Although Amber’s cavalier attitude, may have jinxed herself as the firm gelatinous mass began to shift above her. Amber, not wanting to be ground by the musculature pushed herself into the mattress and away from Shenhe’s skin. Thereby, eliminating the disturbance Shenhe felt and stopping her movement at the worst possible moment. Within the next couple seconds, Amber saw that she was right under the cleft between the twin cheeks. Due to the lack of muscular compression on the mattress, ground under Amber sprung back up before she could do anything. Propelling Amber’s weightless body into the air and past Shenhe’s cheeks. The couple of seconds ended with Shenhe’s left cheek slapping back to meet with her right cheek after she stopped moving. Slamming Amber deep between the cheeks. Shenhe had then settled her weight back onto the bed. The pressure exerted by both cheeks effectively trapping the beleaguered knight. Amber struggled in frustration, rested after her nap. Assuming that only the worst would happen if she did nothing. Although she was not able to make any headway or alert Shenhe to her presence, the giantess assuming that it was just stray water droplets flowing through her cheeks.

Amber felt a familiar sense of vertigo, as Shenhe rose. The light from the sun teasing her from between the boulders that kept her in place. A view that Amber might have appreciated in better circumstances, as it was accompanied by a fresh and pleasant scent of Qingxin. And just like yesterday, the aromatic fragrance was an omen of worse things to come as Amber’s world suddenly darkened and the masses tightened their grip on her. 

Shenhe had put on her undergarments and thin layered bodysuit. Trapping Amber and limiting her movements. After she finished putting on the test of her attire, she walked to Jean’s office as the clock struck 4:50 am. Shenhe’s doughy cheeks moving back and forth over each other. Treating Amber as their own personal rolling pin. With the exception that she was being flattened. Shenhe Knocked before Jean let her in. After they exchanged pleasantries and yawns, they finished the briefing of the procedures, population of interest, data collection, and analysis. 

“Understood, so I think I know who would be suited to be participants in the experimental phase. We’ll trial run it on minor objects and items adventurers regularly take. The only thing left that we must cover is the actual instructions of how to use this advice.” Jean had thought aloud. 

“Apologies, it was remiss of me not begin the discussion with that significant piece of information. My mind must have been elsewhere, as for how to use the device, it is quite simple. You just have to follow a few rules to ensure safe application of this device.” Shenhe had then bended over, to show how the device operated. 

The pressure abated as Amber had attempted to take advantage of the opportunity. Amber crawled forward in the darkness, hoping to exit the crack she was trapped. Her confidence growing as Shenhe gave a thorough explanation to ensure that Jean and her team would not have any accidents from usage of the device.

Thump. Squish.

Amber’s confidence had suddenly plummeted as she felt what she had hit. Instead of feeling the fabric of Shenhe’s lower undergarments, she felt a warm pulsating orifice. A slimy residue sticking to her hand as she retracted it. Her skin crawling over her back as she hunched over. The scent of Shenhe’s inner bowels leaking from the orifice that seemed to be reaching out to her. Stimulated by her hand as blood circulated through it. 

PFFFRT

Ultimately resulting in a release of the cauldron of death that was hidden behind the alien maw. Amber’s nostril burned and her eyes reared as she retched from just a sample. Shenhe had stood back up, a gentle shiver went through her as she felt what must have been lint from the bed between her cheeks. “I just took a shower as well.” Shenhe sighed as she walked out of the door.

“Already off I see. A commendable work ethic. I must thank you for traversing this distance to include us in this experiment. As the acting Grandmaster, I can say that we are honored to be involved in this collaboration to ease the burden of traverse region around the world. Would you like anything before you head off?

“Actually, would you happen to know where the Good Hunter is? People have only had laudable things to say about this establishment and I would like to stop by before I head out.” Shenhe said with an uncharacteristic, pleasant expression on her face. Much like the one she had when she carried Amber underfoot yesterday. Despite Shenhe’s consciousness being unaware of Amber’s proximity at the moment. The struggling against her womanly curves being ignored.

“Just head out the door and follow the route towards the main gate. It is adjacent to the fountain, and I believe Sara should have opened the store by the time you get there but I’m not sure.” Jean said as Amber’s screams were lost within the peachy folds of Shenhe’s rear end. A vain attempt in voicing her displeasure as Shenhe had begun to walk out of the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

The fresh Qingxin scent already overshadowed by the fumes that leaked from the wrinkly anus. Amber’s claustrophobic space bouncing her closer to the rancid folds as Shenhe went down the stairs on her way to Good Hunter. “Why hasn’t she felt me? Am I not struggling enough?” Amber began to conserve her energy, as she had already tired herself out. She planned on giving it her all at an opportune moment to irritate her and hopefully be removed from her current situation.

“Excuse me what do you have on the menu?” Shenhe asked as Sara went through the items available. She was getting some food on her return trip for Cloud Retainer. “Hopefully, she’ll like it.” After a short perusal, she chose her items, including a Sweet Mondstadt. Shenhe then went to sit down and wait for her order to be completed. 

Amber noticed the cheeks wrinkle as the walls around her closed in. The atmosphere now completely laced with the contaminated atmosphere of her chamber. Amber coughed sporadically. If it were not for the fact that she was still, she would not have noticed a slight gap opening despite the overbearing pressure. “Dang it, it seems tight, but I don’t know if I am going to get a better shot. Amber then squirmed her way through the small gap, silently triumphant at the fact that she was getting farther away from the entrance to the rectum. The anus seemingly grumbling at her departure. Her good fortune came to a standstill as did she. As Amber was squeezed breathless between Shenhe’s womanly curves. Unable to move forward or backward, the miniature knight kept her cool, waiting for the next opportunity. Although her environment was the opposite of cool. As the sun rose this summer morning, the cool breeze of Dawn giving way for the dry heat as the clock struck 6:30 am. This day being undeniably warmer than the last. Sara had finished Shenhe’s order and waved her over. For Amber it felt like she was squished between two, larger than life, bodies in a sauna, as Shenhe went to retrieve and store her meal. The cheeks rubbing against her like they had when she laid on the mattress. However, this time there was no escape from their embrace. Despite her calm, Amber’s anxiety escalated as Shenhe went down the steps of the main road of Mondstadt and bid farewell to Swan who once again manned the front gate. Helpless, as she involuntarily left her home city.

Shenhe basked in the sun that rose into the sky, wanting to swiftly depart for Liyue. She decided to challenge herself to reach the Dawn Winery by noon. Shenhe, now familiar with the route had increased her pace from a light jog to a brisk run, and then a sprint. Handling the terrain with relative ease compared to the mountainous environment of Liyue. On the smaller side, Amber was inexperienced with such terrain, as she was being overwhelmed by twin mountains. From a gentle rub to a rapid roll. Amber felt like putty between Shenhe’s cheeks. Despite the plush texture, Shenhe’s ass became firm upon exertion of her muscles. Amber, who had planned to use Shenhe’s walk to wiggle out of her cheeks, was unable to get her bearings. Amber even thought that she might have been inching back to Shenhe personal Qingxin, pulsating within cavern she had escaped. The energy expended by Shenhe’s swiftness turned up the heat for Amber. The burnt calories radiating off Shenhe’s skin, including her feminine mountains. Unlike her former prison, there weren’t any gaps for Amber within Shenhe’s ass. As it was covered by a layer of undergarments and her bodysuit. Stuck between a cheek and a hard place, Amber’s vision had begun to swim. Due to the tumultuous environment, she was unable to keep her breath as Shenhe had passed Springvale. Her mouth opening to inspire, only to meet the hot and plump flesh of Shenhe’s intrusive curves. “Cough…cough…hack.” Amber’s vision had begun to blur, as she could not adapt to her rapidly changing environment before falling unconscious.

“Cloud Retainer was correct in her assessment of this week’s climate. It’s probably the hottest week this year.” Shenhe thought to herself as she used her Vision to cool her surroundings before continuing forward. She didn’t use it for an extended period due to the nature of Cryo visions. Users being able to freeze their surroundings by absorbing the heat and energy of the environment. Thus, extended use would heat up her own body in the long run.

Shenhe had bounded past Springvale and up the cliffs. Her mind indifferent to the wrinkle between her cheeks. Her heart beating fast as she vaulted past a stray Hilichurl regiment, not bothering to take on such a weak force. The unmoving lint chewed and munched on by Shenhe’s Gluteus Maximus. Shenhe neared the Dawn Winery as the sun neared its apex. Shenhe’s had begun to perspire. The salty liquid flowing down her face and body. A specific stream had trailed down Shenhe’s back. The minute amount of liquid flowed between the cleft of her cheeks. Relative to the small girl it landed on, it might as well have been enough liquid to fill a small bucket. Waking Amber up from what may have been another torturous dream. Still betwixt the same two vigorous meaty walls, Amber had noticed a difference in her environment. Despite the rancid feeling of the liquid that doused her, Amber was grateful for the sweat that coated her residence. As she was now able to inch forward with each shift of the hot press, using the lubrication to continue her escape efforts. Trying her best to ignore the odor growing stronger from fluid film. The granular darkness in front of Amber had finally lightened. Barely perceptible, Amber was finally able to glimpse at large woman’s underwear, through a window created by the motion of Shenhe’s jumps. A vision that was stolen from her as swiftly as it appeared as the curves suddenly stilled and tightened over her body.

“What do you want?” Shenhe had asked the familiar faces of bandits that she had protected Connor from earlier. Now joined by a larger entourage.

“Hah. You know what we are here for. It’s time for some pay…” The bandit leader’s monologue was interrupted as Shenhe had dashed forward with her talisman spirit and smashed his head with the side of her pole arm. Before the rest of them could react, Shenhe had then used that same talisman spirit the freeze the surrounding area. Within a couple of moments Shenhe had dealt several incapacitating blows boosted by Icy Quills. The hermit having held back last time as she did not want to harm the vintner or his supplies. The stragglers began to run, Shenhe making pursuit by twirling towards them with her pole arm, spearing through them. Her movement ending with her gracefully landing. The plethora of enemies reduced to a mess beneath her feet. However, the one who was in the direst of straits at this time may have not been the enemies around her, but the ally within. “I think it has yet to be moon, and I’m already at the outskirts of the Dawn Winery. I should be back in Liyue at no time at all.”

Amber was only given a moment’s notice before she felt the masses, she was between crushing her with greater force than Shenhe’s feet had as she dashed forward. Amber was able to inspire as the plump cheeks relaxed before noticing that there was a sudden chill outside of the bodysuit. Amber lost sense of all direction within the dark surroundings as Shenhe had dealt with the remainder of the enemies with quick and focused movements. The muscular control necessary resulted in Amber being catapulted between different patches of Shenhe’s plump cheeks. Barbatos, or Venti, was nowhere to be seen to answer Amber’s prayers as she was catapulted away from her freedom. The vice like pressure of Shenhe’s cheeks had finally relented on Amber as she was spit out and landed in a crevice. 

Squelch. Slurp.

Amber senses may have been discombobulated, and the area she was in was not one where light would reach. However, she was familiar with the aroma and slimy sensation on her lower legs. She tried to pull her legs towards her chest, in a similar act of repulsion. The only thing on her mind was to get away from the hole that seemed closer than it actually was. It might as well have been as Amber’s legs refused to budge from the pulsating orifice. Blood flowing through it that supplied it with the energy necessary to maintain its vice-like grip. It’s very presence overwhelming Amber’s sensibilities. Her hands barely made an indent on the plush cheeks as she tried to use it as leverage. Her attempts to pull herself out of this organic trap unsuccessful despite Shenhe having slowed down. Amber’s lower legs were entrapped within Shenhe’s quivering anus as she was once again confronted by an earthy aroma as a throbbing headache emerged. One that seemed to match the rhythm of the anus that hungrily sucked at her appendage. The inner cleavage of Shenhe’s ass cheeks, the feminine and powerful lumps of flesh they are bounced along with her steps. As she walked away from the bandits that attempted to assault her. Amber now feeling like she was being toyed with more than ever. As the inner lumps of adipose and muscle would spring her upper body to the rim of the anus. With Amber caught in between, it was as if she were the third party in a romantic dinner. The feminine cheeks moving along with Shenhe legs, feeding her to the insatiable flower. The grumbling of the giant woman’s bowels frightened Amber, who had no autonomy over her situation. 

Slurp pffrt.

Amber’s legs were sucked up past her knees. Noxious fumes billowing out upon her continued consumption. As her feet reached past the anal sphincter and through the rectum, an intense wave of heat hit her. The greater internal temperature of Shenhe’s rectum and the increased heat she absorbed after she used her Cryo vision made it feel like Amber had stepped into a bath that was several degrees too hot. Amber jerked her body as she tried to remove her limbs, the slimy film that soaped her legs did not assist in lubrication. Instead, the film sputtered and leaked out with each pulsation. Shenhe’s flower was salivating at her taste as it masticated on her legs. 

Shenhe had returned to a brisk run. Amber, now held in the jaws of had not noticed this change in pace. In turn Shenhe’s awareness of an existence near her pucker had increased. “It must be the lint from the mattress this morning. I would check it in a private location, but I don’t know when another bandit might show up. I guess I’ll check at Wangshu Inn if it is still bothering me.” Shenhe had then refocused her attention as she jumped down from the ledge at the Stone Gate. 

THUDDUUD

Schlluuurp

For the first time in a while, Amber had felt a sensation of weightlessness. This sensation disappeared when Shenhe landed on the ground below. From Amber’s perspective, a sudden force traveled up the body she was submerged in. It was this sudden force that resulted in the rancid flower to swallow her up to her waist. The flower’s grip had put an uncomfortable amount of pressure on her pelvic region, causing Amber to grit her teeth in pain. She had then shifted her focus and abandoned her grip on the firm pillowy cushions of the inner cheeks. Moving her hands to the rim of Shenhe’s anus, to stop her consumption. Her lower half felt like it was being baked by the gases within the rectum. Shenhe’s flower increasing the noises it made in response to Outrider’s resistance. At this point, Amber was indignant in her determination to not only survive, but live. She pushed down on the anus, hoping to push herself out before the flower would also lubricate her hands. Resulting in a slow descent into Shenhe’s abyss. Although, what started as a good plan was ill-timed.

PFFRRRT

The moment Amber had pushed down on the anal folds was also the exact moment that hot vapors exited from Shenhe’s bowels. The anus having expanded to let the internal atmosphere out. Amber’s hand instead pushing through empty air and into the anus’s maw. The anal residue covering her hands as the flower pulsated in delight. That is to say nothing of the gaseous mixture that was spouted out earlier. The sudden miasma passing by Amber’s body had an overwhelming effect on her state of consciousness. She was stunned by the blast of pressurized air and was unable to reorient herself as the rancid atmosphere diffused through her orifices and down to her lungs. The chemical components being taken up by her blood stream and distributed to her muscles. Her body being sullied from the outside and inside simultaneously. The anus having been primed against the knight’s resistance had continued with its former onslaught. 

Slick schluck schlurp.

The anus hungrily gobbling up to her mid torso. It continued its progress at a slower pace, now accustomed to Amber’s current struggles. Taking the time to enjoy the remainder of its meal. The flower that typically expelled matter in a gradual fashion was now doing the opposite. Amber still reeling from the hot breath of the anus did not react to the tugs of the flower. Each one pulling her closer and closer to the broiling depths of Shenhe. Amber’s entire lower half having passed into the rectum. Her feet finding stability in the walls on the other side of the exit turned entrance. It pulsated at a much slower rate than the greedy maw but felt powerful enough to unsteady Amber’s feet. Even though the vapors from within did not have direct access with her nostrils, the odor was palpable. The air feeling like a warm liquid flowing over her skin. By the time Amber was able to refocus herself, she had already been swallowed up to right below her chest. Her average sized breasts being of a minor inconvenience to the anal sink hole that she was being sucked through. Despite the lack of light, her eyes accommodated to the darkness, and she had become increasingly close to the pucker. From the granular darkness, whether Amber was in the right state of mind or not, the diminished outrider thought that the flower she was being sucked into looked vaguely like a Qingxin. Such a thought forcing a laugh out of her dry throat. One that was immediately quenched as a drop of sweat had fallen over her face. Amber continued to hack and cough as the sweat from Shenhe’s physical exertion had begun to pool within the center of the valley between Shenhe’s twin mountains. Watering the flower that lay within, an ecosystem that Amber was slowly becoming a part of.

For Shenhe, the Wangshu inn was just overhead. She had slowed down her pace to her naturally sultry walk. Stretching her body, she had begun to ascend the inn within the tree. The sun now indicating that it was the middle of the afternoon. After a quick pit stop to check the disturbance within her bodysuit, Shenhe would head back on her route to Liyue harbor. She did enjoy the sensation that it provided her; however, it would be immature to just having a random object pleasure her without her knowing what it was. It could even be alive. Estimating that she will reach there just before nightfall. As Shenhe had entered the main pavilion, she was stopped by Verr Goldet, the boss of the inn who recognized her. “Good afternoon Shenhe, are you here for lodging and a meal.” Verr asked as Shenhe moved her head in refusal. “Although I would appreciate it if you would lend me a room with a mirror for a moment.” Shenhe said as she checked her device’s inventory. Checking if her meal from Good Hunter was still there. She would take a ration from it in the unlikely case she became famished before she reached Liyue Harbor, as Shenhe planned on eating a large portion of food when she reached there. Instead, her hand glanced over the virtual realm that held wine that she had obtained from Mondstadt. Shenhe’s thoughts then turned to Amber who she had offered a drink to before. “Huh, I would have hoped that she would have been willing to continue in our adult play. I got so excited that a lump between my cheeks is enough to…wait.” Shenhe paused as she thought of how she didn’t see Amber this dark morning in her former spot. However, she didn’t give a more thorough check of the room. “Would she have put herself in that situation, feet are one thing, but that is the area where I release the mass that my body deems unfit to provide sustenance for me.” Shenhe blushed at the possibility that Amber had once again placed herself in a sexual situation with her giantess unaware of the circumstances once more. Shenhe’s placid face developed a blush as she walked over to the spare room.

Amber had thought back to how she got into this situation. From her irresponsible activation of the device to the misunderstanding that she had caused. Her body then being subjected to the crushing pressure of Shenhe’s feminine feet. Now there was no misunderstanding to be had as her captor was unaware of her current circumstances. It wasn’t all bad, Amber had realized, her struggle against the fates that she was laid bare against. Using her physical skill to extend her endurance as much as possible. It was what first drew her to gliding and joining the Knights of Favonius. Despite this recognition of circumstantial enjoyment, Amber had still concluded that she had not preferred this experience as Shenhe had surmised earlier. She wanted to be free in the air, not restrained within a confined space as she was now. Amber was a citizen of Mondstadt, a region of freedom. What mattered if freedom was demanded from someone as a god. It was still that individual’s choice to make in the end. As Amber’s introspection furthered her abnegation of this fate, she had finally seen a bright light as the mountains parted. The only being capable of such a feat was the divine one that Amber could now see from the mirror that they were both staring at. Momentarily entranced by Shenhe’s beauty, she was astounded by the reminder that the one subjecting her to such conditions was one of such refined appearance. These thoughts were soon dispelled as her vision trailed back down to the center of the valley she laid within. The mountains pulled apart by Shenhe’s hands. Affording a direct view into the valley. If one were to focus as Amber had at this moment, they would be able to see the diminutive state of an exhausted figure. The former bunny ears now frayed and broken, with only one floppy ear remaining amongst a mess of brown hair. “My struggling must have caught her attention! This is my chance.” Amber, who had conserved her energy at this point, released it all in a valiant struggle. Hoping to nonverbally voice her displeasure to Shenhe. Amber, in her recklessness, had once again rushed into this decision without considering all the variables. Her actions stimulating the contractile muscles of the flower she was embedded in. Fully lubricated by sweat and the slimy residue, her breasts no longer posed as an obstruction. The only reason she was not sucked in sooner was because of her relative stillness. Amber’s senses overloaded as the feminine flower roughly devoured her breasts. The slimy yet iron like grip eliciting a gasp from Amber. Now past that obstruction, the anus rushed along Amber’s descent. 

Slurrp schlk. Schll. Pop.

The anus now having past her breasts and shoulders before clamping down on her throat. Stifling her breathing and preventing her from speaking. The bowels within burbling in excitement at their exquisite meal, one that was nearly finished. The hot air licked at Amber’s body as her breasts had entered the rectum. The anus rhythmically tightened over her throat. The pressure straining her esophagus and trachea just before the point of collapse. As the flower of proverbial death munched on her, Amber could only pleadingly look outwards to the heavens. She searched for any sign of recognition from divine goddess above. Praying to her that she would see fit to be merciful to her to release her from her imprisonment.

Shenhe had removed her white clothes and the upper portion of her body suit. Rolling it down to unveil her skin as she turned around. She jutted her wide hips out and shimmied the suit and lower undergarments below her posterior. Satisfied, she pulled her ass cheeks apart and looked over her shoulder. Her brows burrowed as she focused on the cleft of her ass. Able to see an object. She suddenly felt a sudden burst of activity. One that she recognized as belonging to the bunny-eared girl, Amber. “Truthfully, why can’t people just be honest with their desires.” Shenhe complained to herself. Her experiences and advice from her friends informed her that humans may not be forthright with their intentions. “I would have appreciated if you had informed me of you r choice last night before putting yourself in this situation, although this did have its own charm.” Shenhe idly thought. Her groin grew warm, and her slit slickened at the thought that such a promising knight would subject herself to an area where waste was released from. No, waste at least had the sensibility to leave the toxic environment of my rectum. She was below even that. Shenhe had observed as her dirty little flower swallowed its snack up its neck. “Hmmm, she really is putting herself all into this situation. Well, it would be remiss of me to not play my part as well. Now what would she appreciate.” Shenhe had pondered before deciding on her next course of action.

“MY GOODNESS. TO THINK A NEOPHYTE SUCH AS YOURSELF DECIDED THAT THIS WAS THE OPTIMAL WAY TO WORSHIP YOUR GODDESS.” Shenhe had adopted a more naught disposition. She borrowed from the experiences she had with the perceptions that Liyue citizens who were on a pilgrimage to meet with the Adepti.

“I WOULD DEMAND YOU TO PROSTRATE YOURSELF AND BEG FOR FORGIVENESS AND TO OFFER UP YOUR WORLDY POSSESSIONS BEFORE I DEEM FIT TO SMITE YOU.” Shenhe tried to maintain

her grimacing face that she directed at the diminutive girl. The warm feeling in her groin, providing a pleasurable tingle through her body. 

“THUS, I WILL ASSIGN YOU TO THE DUTY OF MAINTAINING THE BEAUTY OF THE HALLS OF MY INNER SANCTUM. GIVE YOURSELF ENTIRELY TO WORSHIPPING THE WALLS AND THE REFUSE THAT LAYS WITHIN. FOR YOU ARE BELOW EVEN THEM, AND IF YOU EVER WISH TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.” Shenhe said pointedly. Hoping that this role play was as effective for her partner as it was for her. Not allowing for Amber to give any sort of response. She moved tightened her grip on her left cheek and moved her right hand between the cheeks. Her finger extended towards her languished worshipper. Shenhe pushed her finger forward sending the denizen of her rectum to her rightful place.

Amber had heard the haughty statements from the disgusted face of an unmerciful goddess. Rumbling greater than thunder in the distance, her soul filled with dread. Shenhe’s blue fingernails tightened over one of her cheeks. Amber could only gasp as the other hand moved inwards, her vision began to darken as her muscles used up the last of the oxygen, she was able to inspire. The monstrous digit gave a furtive push, Shenhe’s insatiable flower sending Amber to her new home.

Shenhe was pleased with herself for developing her social abilities to the point that she had established a complex and advanced relationship. The instantaneous reaction from her new worshipper within her rectum sending a thrill of pleasurable excitement shooting through her. “Oh my, I’m glad that she is really immersing herself in this role play. I was worried that I might have gone a bit too far.” Shenhe had left the room and began to descend the stairs. It was 3:30 pm. Plenty of time to grab a meal at Liyue Harbor before it gets too late in night. Her stomach grumbled as she patted her lower abdomen. 

Amber had fallen into the sludge that was scattered in her new chambers. Attempting to catch her breath having nearly been suffocated by the unwanted embrace of Shenhe’s flower. Her lungs refilling with the scalding hot and toxic miasma. Amber’s body had begun to convulse by the vile atmosphere. Certain that this was finally the end, Amber’s vision of the rancid dungeon was the last thing she thought that she would see. She only hoped that Shenhe would pass some gas for her spirit to pass on. The mixture of mucosa and unknown slime dripping on to her prone body.

Shenhe had continued her trek onto Liyue, despite not being able to feel any movements from her lower region. Shenhe had derived some form of sadistic pleasure. It might have been that her ropes were getting loose, her supernatural malice ebbing out. Or it could have been a strong aspect of her foundational personality, having emerged from her placid lake of emotion now that she is learning human feelings and social interactions. Whatever the case was, Shenhe was elated to having found someone who was as equally masochistic as she was sadistic. As she would never force her desires on someone who did not voluntarily wish for it. It was probably happenstance when Shenhe encountered Xiangling, at the periphery of the Guili Plains of the Qiongji Estuary, while considering matters within her enteral tract.

“Oh, hi Shenhe!” Xiangling said with an energetic wave. Guoba, her bear/stove god companion hopping up and down. “Guoba!”

“Greetings, Xiangling and Guoba was it. How are you this evening?” Shenhe greeted them as the sun began to fall in the sky.

“Oh, just finding some ingredients for this new recipe that I have in mind. I was requested to make Geri a dish that would help his digestive tract. Hey, you wouldn’t mind having some of it would you. It always helps to have different opinions when it comes to the taste aspect of my dishes?” Xiangling eagerly offered Shenhe, someone who she had barely interacted with before. This was not unexpected as Xiangling was the opposite of Shenhe in terms of social capabilities and experience. However, Shenhe did appreciate the earnest honesty that Xiangling conveyed.

“Of course, I was planning on partaking in some food at Liyue Harbor anyway. It would be most fortunate for me to be invited for dinner. Would I also be able to take an extra serving as well? I am certain that Cloud Retainer would appreciate an assortment of food.” Shenhe said amicably.

“Wow, being able to cater to an Adeptus. I’ll make sure to whip up something great. Follow me!” “Guoba!” Xiangling and Guoba raced ahead with their package of unique ingredients. Shenhe matching their speed. She felt a rumble move through her intestines. Through Shenhe’s partial focus, she noted a light tickle near the entrance of her anus. A slight smirk appearing on her face.

Amber had opened her eyes. Her vision was met with a dark-red cavern filled with a viscous liquid and a rotting stench of death. For a second, she thought that she had stumbled upon the rumored Mare Jivari. Although it seemed that she still had some fight left in her. The walls seemed to be in constant motion, and she could hear a sporadic rumbling noise up ahead. Amber, searched through her scattered memory, after being knocked out for at least three times these past two days. Finally, she realized what a nightmarish situation she was in. Amber wasn’t even certain at first if this was reality or some twisted dream of her most repressed fears. The strength of the stimuli around her, led her to think otherwise. “There was no way a dream could be this descriptive in detail.” Amber somberly noted. Through her fatigued state she looked around until she found the inviting entrance that brought her in to this wasteland. Now an impenetrable exit as she pounded on the sphincter. A hole that refused to open except at the behest of its owner. “Did I misjudge her character, was this Shenhe’s true nature. Or was this another misunderstanding?”

GROOOANN. GURGLE.

Amber jumped at the reminder of what laid behind her. Her thoughts facing at what else she had at her disposal. What else she could do as a Knight of Favonius, as the Outrider. A moment of silence, interrupted by the organic noises of Shenhe’s digestive tract, passed.  “I don’t know what is right or wrong, or what type of person Shenhe really is. But it is foolish to not act under the possibility that the worst possible scenario is true. She wanted me to worship her innards right.” Amber unsure of what to do, began to rub Shenhe’s intestinal walls. Repulsed by the matter that lay between the folds of the muscular walls she tried to move the fetid matter to the floor below. Amber continued this practice until a significant pile had built up around her. Still unsure if this would satisfy the demands of the self-anointed goddess. Amber barely made any headway as what may have been feces still lined the majority of Shenhe’s intestinal tract, viewable to tired girl. As she had questioned her actions, there was a sudden reorientation in the filth-filled environment. The floor became the ceiling or walls and vice versa. When Amber impacted against a wall, she was met with a dark mass barreling towards her. 

Squelch. 

Amber was pinned against a surface of the intestinal wall, unable to tell which side was which. As she was completely covered a by a large clump of feces, part of it was from the pile that she had gingerly packed. “Shit! Amber had begun to hyperventilate, the intense miasma clouding her judgement as she struggled within the mass. Afraid that her corpse would join the scent of rotting death of this graveyard of past meals.

The pleasant fragrance of Jueyun Chili Peppers wafted through Shenhe’s nostril. A scent perfused through the shop as they entered Xiangling’s family kitchen. She and Guoba straight away had begun to cook a delicious smorgasbord of food. Motivated to feed their friends and to expand their clientele. Shenhe had sat herself down, unaware of the ensuing chaos she had set in motion within her rectum by her simple action. Her body relaxing from an exhausting day of traveling. Her digestive tract moving along the food from yesterday through her intestines. In preparation for the plate of food that was placed in front of her. Xiangling the turned back to the stove to prepare Cloud Retainer’s serving. Shenhe grabbed her utensils and began her meal of Xiangling’s personal version of an Adeptus Hot Pot. The warm and viscous liquid permeating her mouth with a deep and rich flavor. Leaving a spicy aftertaste on her palate. She gave a furtive swallow before another spoonful entered her mouth. The entire process repeating without thought, as Shenhe immersed herself in the product of Xiangling’s excellent cooking skills. 

Slurp

Shenhe had finished off her meal by slurping the remainder of the meal. Unencumbered despite her typically banal diet. She placed the bowl back down.

“This was simply delicious. Thank you. I am certain Cloud Retainer will enjoy this marvelous dish.” Shenhe patted her full stomach. Now feeling drowsy after a full day of travel and a hearty meal.

“Really. I’m glad that I was able retain the taste of the original dish. I included some medicinal ingredients, so you should expect some change in your bowel habits. But you should be fine after less than a day.” Xiangling handed over the extra serving and they waved her goodbye.

Amber struggles slowed as her senses were overflowed with the vile sludge clinging to her body. Barely making any progress as one pile moved away seemed to make room for another pile to fall in place. Her vision spun as the darkness swirled in front of her eyes. It felt like she was being naked within a clay oven. Within these dire straits, Amber had finally made room to move her arm. A tiny hole had opened above her.. In an insane last-ditch effort, she pulled off her headband and imbued it with her pyro vision throwing it out of the hole. Letting it explode like her Baron Bunny. The methane gas igniting the fire and spreading it through Shenhe’s rectum. Searing everything in its path.

Booom

Pfffffffttrrtrttt. Pfffrt. Pfffrt

Shenhe stumbled as she entered the building where she had booked her lodging ahead of time, with the assistance of Keqing. Surprised by the sudden burning feeling in her rectum. “Xiangling wasn’t kidding. The dish definitely affected my bowels.” Shenhe said as she placed her hand over her abdomen. Due to her superhuman physiology and the medicinal properties of her most recent meal, Shenhe’s intestinal tract was intact without any wear or burns. From the epicenter of the explosion a cracked and dry pile of fecal remained. Suddenly a fist had punched through the remnants, Amber able to break free as the structure had been weakened by explosion. All according to Amber’s plan. She collapsed onto the muscular tunnel, the burnt air not doing her lungs any favors. She crouched down on her arms and knees her face staring at the muscular walls. Despite the explosion the cavern did not seemed damage, instead it seemed to be throbbing even harder.

GROOOOAAANN. GUIURUGLE. GLLOORRRP.

Shenhe felt her bowel’s roaring. The dish taking effect in moving her stool along. The digestive juices were increased in enzymatic potency while the stomach walls protective mucosa was refreshed. The multiple components of the dish hyper-charging and strengthening her digestive tract. The mixture of food that initially brought about this change was already funneled into her intestines and emulsified. The calories, proteins, nutrients, vitamins, and fats being absorbed at a blistering pace and to a great degree. Leaving behind a firm and smooth train of stool that met the several stools ahead of it in the digestive tract. Shenhe took off her heels and laid down on her bed scrunching her feet as she aired her toes out. As sleep had begun to overtake her, Shenhe’s thoughts once again returned to Amber. 

“She must have gone through a lot in the trip so far. I’m not sure that I can understand how someone could derive such pleasure in such an unsanitary area, but I am not one to judge the sexual proclivities of individuals within society.” Shenhe thought as she imagined the next activity that she and Amber would engage in. She considered to remove her from the cauldron of her bowels to fish Amber out of her digestive tract. However, she really needed to get some rest. “Besides, if she was able to survive this long in my rectum, surely she would be able to take a nap within her warm abode.” In the end, Shenhe decided against breaking the immersion of their fantasy as she was a capable member of the Knights of Favonius. Shenhe had drifted off into dreamland, a pleasant and fulfilling day topped off with a great meal and well-deserved rest.  

Many hours after Shenhe had fallen asleep, Amber was still awake. Envious of the ambient noises of her body’s circadian rhythm. Amber also desired to fall asleep, but her body was pained by the torturous events she had to endure and the toxic conditions of her current environment. The smell of burnt shit being one of the worst odors in all Teyvat. It was not her intention to harm her, but Amber was appalled by the fact that Shenhe’s intestinal walls seemed as strong as ever. After what must have been an indeterminate amount of time, Amber had been able to recuperate long enough for some strength to return to her muscles. After standing up, she took stock of her surroundings, the tumble she took before being squished by shit having moved her farther away from the anus. She took a couple steps forward, hoping that Shenhe was relaxed enough for her to escape through the sphincter. She fell after a couple steps. Her breaths labored.

Shluurrn

As Amber laid on the groan, she noticed an odd noise that would not cease. She turned around, looking further into the depths of the rectum. Noticing that the intestines were moving more vigorously than usual. Suddenly Amber remembered a similar noise that she had once heard on Dragonspine when she was hiking with Eula. According to her friend, an avalanche had started on the other side of the mountain. They began a rescue operation to help any stray adventurers or knights. For Amber, there was no rescue operation. Through the corner of the tunnel, she saw the large volume of fecal matter expanding the walls of the rectum. Unencumbered by its girth and mass, it moved along the intestinal tract at a rate that was beyond what one would think for its size.

Slosh slush. Groan

Amber had begun to drag her body across the floor of the rectum. Vaulting her body over each ridge in fear of the mass that did not seem to slow down. The smell of burnt matter being washed by the miasma of fresh fecal matter. A preference scent, but the foreboding disaster it signaled did little to alleviate Amber’s terror. She had finally got back up on her two legs and used the walls as support. 

GRUUMBLE

Amber limped forward; she could feel the displacement of air of the waste right behind her. Her eyes would have teared up, if possible, from the hot vapors that spilled from the fuming structure. She was just keeping a body pace apart from the behind her. The coalesced shit much more apparent through the dark chasm. The was a grainy solid, the mixture flowing and conforming through the walls as it was inched through.

GROOOAANN SLLLLRLRRSSHHH

Amber did not know how she was going to get out when she reached the sphincter. She would only have moments before the avalanche of shit submerged her. Amber’s body was, without thought, robotically moving, laser focused on the destination ahead. So, she had no chance of seeing the remnants of her hair band, not completely vaporized from the explosion, cause her to slip. Time seemed to slow as Amber fell on to her side. The lone ear flopping in the air. “Oh, I could have used that to channel my Pyro Vision one more time to cause Shenhe to fart me out.” Those were the thoughts in Amber’s head as a pile of fresh shit flowed over her body. “No, this can’t be how it ends. I’m the outrider of the Knights of Favonius.” Her body writhed and twitched in her increasingly small space. “What would everyone think if I were to just vanish into thin air?” Amber felt the slimy heat began to congeal over her. Once again returned to the oven to warm up. “What would they think if they found out what happened to me? I’m…I’m not” Amber’s body was compacted within the newly formed log. The shit fermented and stewed within the superhuman’s rectum. More piles adding to the ones in front. Filling every space, it could within the large tunnel. As more moisture was pulled out of the excretion, it solidified and condensed, further irritating the walls of the rectum. 

As the sun had begun to rise, Shenhe had felt an immense pressure from her backside. Without a second thought, she drowsily picked herself up and walked to the toilet in the bathroom. Shenhe undressed and pulled her full attire off her body and placed it on a hanging rack. Her full body exposed, in a lapse of judgement, she had also removed the ropes on her clothes. A simple action that can be quickly rectified if no one else is nearby. A single small piece of red fabric had floated down from her anus as she sat down. Relaxing her rectum, she allowed the sludge from within to flow out. The flower widened as it released the hot and moistened excretion. The time it was allowed to ferment within her bowels making it smooth and porous. Hot vapors rising as it splashed into the toilet. Pushing the red fabric into the toilet water. Not to be seen coming back up as Shenhe had allowed another piece of steaming waste impact the water basin. This one longer as Shenhe learned to rhythmically usher the rest of her shit out an into the placid water. With her pucker tightening over the end of her second package that she released into the pool, Shenhe’s placid face was also interrupted by a red blush. “I didn’t take Amber last night. Even as a Knight of Favonius, could she have survived this.” Shenhe did not feel any struggles within her rectum. In fact, she just felt like she was only halfway through her load. Instead of concern, Shenhe had felt euphoric at the consequences of their actions. “Why should I grieve over something that a foolish knight chose of her own accord. I gave her an opportunity to leave, and she decided to stay with me.” The inner supernatural malice that she was cursed with had ebbed out of her as she pushed out another fetid log. A splash not heard this time as it piled over soft pile of wet shit. Soaking up the moisture from below. “Right where a masochist worshipper like her belongs.” Shenhe had said. With a smug and devious look on her face, she gave a slight strained push at the last piece. The rectal wall sore from the hot dump earlier, unable to assist as much with this one. A girth brown loaf of shit had dropped from her, rectum. Her flower sealing shut. Shenhe closed her eyes and released a breath of relief as warm stream of urine shot out of her urethra and marked Amber’s abode. The urine scalding relative to the cooling feces. Breaking apart the topmost log with ease. Like a waterfall it continued to pour hitting the second highest log. The structure of it began to fall apart as the yellow fluids flow petered out. Shenhe had attic up with a triumphant look on her face. She had then proceeded to put her attire back on, prepared to continue the remainder of her bathroom hygiene. As she placed the ropes back on, her expression returned to a neutral state. Her concern for Amber state skyrocketed, as she stared at the pile of shit breaking apart in the water. Her bowels empty and Amber not in sight. Oh, Amber.” Shenhe thought apologetically, as her remorse grew. Until the second highest log had broken apart. Amber flopping onto the mess breathing as hard and deeply as she could. The first breath of fresh air for about a day. The virtual space surrounding her body provided it with the support necessary for continued life. A feature that Cloud Retainer had yet to discover. The extent of which was unknown. Although Amber still felt precipitously close to the edge. None of her limbs able to move and it felt like her body was near the breaking point. Suggesting that the protection was not full proof. Amber looked up at the giantess of a women above her. 

“AMBER! YOU’RE OKAY. I’M SORRY FOR BEING TOO ROUGH WITH YOU. I NEARLY FLUSHED YOU DOWN THE TOILET. I’LL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET SOME MEDICAL CARE AND REST.”

Amber was far past caring, as Shenhe’s thunderous voice boomed over her. Glad to see that the gentler demeanor of Shenhe had returned. She’ll take what she can get as Amber tried to signal Shenhe her understanding but was interrupted by Shenhe.

AFTERWARDS WE CAN CONTINUE WITH OUR ROLEPLAY. I THINK WE SHOULD TRY SOMETHING EASIER LIKE TAPING YOU TO MY ARMPIT. OR MAYBE I COULD TREAT YOU LIKE MY CHEWING GUM. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT WE CAN DO, BUT THERE IS NO RUSH. I’M NOT SURE IF I EXPLAINED THIS PROPERLY BUT I’M VERY GLAD THAT I FOUND SOMEONE WITH SUCH COMPLEMENTARY PROCLIVITIES TO MY OWN.

Shenhe had said unabashedly. The concern disappearing from her face as the eager sadist planned for their next outing. One that would equally feed their respective pleasures while ensuring the safety of her little knight.

“Wait. She is going to return me to my original size so I can explain this misunderstanding while I heal? Right?!” Amber’s thoughts were left unanswered as Shenhe had went to get an object to lift Amber from the steaming pile.

Amber’s fate, whether as Shenhe’s miniature partner in a sadomasochistic relationship, or as a full-sized Knight of Favonius who will keep the events that transpired to her grave, is still undecided. However, what is certain is that the mass production of the device was well in preparation. Cloud Retainer just had to think of a catchy name now after the results of the experiments. There will undoubtedly be more incidents like this one in the realm of Teyvat. Either way, Amber may have been one of the lucky ones for not being flushed down to a watery grave.
