Yusqio's eyes widened a bit in surprise as the monster transformed. His new form was smaller, but no less threatening, and she felt tiny in his grasp. He had a feral, masculine scent that made her feel dizzy, and she met his fiery, yellow gaze for only a second or two before looking away in fear, and turning her own gaze to scroll over his hard, thickly muscled body. A strange presence swept through her, forcing her to be calm... and sleep. Whatever the magic was, it failed to effect her as intended, but it helped to relax her enough to do as he bid.<br/><br/>She certainly didn't miss the thick bulge swelling his pants, and she gasped silently as she took a step back. She started by unbinding the silvery, undented bracers on her forearms, and setting them on the ground in front of her.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"These bracers were forged in Celestia; few weapons, even magical ones, can damage them- making them very good for parrying strikes."</span>Her voice was still very quiet as she spoke; she was gripped not only with fear, but with the humiliation of her defeat and the loss of one of her valued possessions. She pulled off her boots next and threw them aside; there was nothing magical about them, and she didn't bother explaining that to the wolf man. Then she removed the slender gold anklet.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"This is a charm that allows its wearer to disappear and reemerge elsewhere with just a thought, but..."</span>she looked away and gritted her teeth,<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"it can only be used once or twice each day."</span><br/><br/>She untied the long red sash around her waist and set it on the ground with her sword's scabbard and the potions and ointments that were tucked into it.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"This sash is magical; they say that it imbues anyone who wears it with a spark of divinity, making them better at everything they do. And these potions here are for healing and preserving things."</span>Even in her frightened state, there was an almost supernatural warmth and gentleness in her quiet little voice, and as she spoke memories of her home drifted through her mind. As she kneeled in the grass, she pulled off her amulet as well. It was a piece of some heavenly silver sculpted into the shape of a bird's claw.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"This talisman gives its wearer the power to move small objects from a distance, and with only a thought, and..."</span><br/><br/>Yusqio stood up again, having only one item left to name. She wiped away the tears in her eyes with her hand, and began, slowly, to slide the sleeves of her leotard over her shoulders and slip the garment down. Her small, supple breasts bobbed a little as they were freed from the tight, elastic garment, and she pulled the garment down the rest of the way, over her solidly muscled abdomen... down to the smooth, untouched cleft of her womanhood. She stepped out of it, leaving her hairless, snowy-skinned form naked except for her tall blue socks.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">"That garment is a protective item... it can even ward away sword-strokes..." </span><br/><br/>Her body glistened with sweat from their battle. She felt herself quivering slightly, and nervously swept a bit of her short, sky-blue hair away from her face as she dared to look up again at the monster's fierce, yellow stare.
