Adventurers

There is a fair number of captions that take place in some sort of old fantasy setting, and often they just don't do much with it. So, here's a challenge:


We have a pair on some kind of adventure in a fantasy world of some sort. Let's say one or both of them was originally male. For the caption, try to tell about more than the change itself; try to tell a little bit about these people and their adventure. I'm not asking for an entire story, but at least dabble a bit in what they quest for, and why.

As for the cause of the change, you're free to use some of the more cliche things like the girdles of gender or magic springs, but it would probably be more impressive if you came up with something more original.


(I don't really consider this a group since it's only two...)

  1. Lady Garland stood at ease, letting the tip of her sword drop to the ground. It was a bad habit, and wore down the blade, but after her years of service she was forgiven such eccentricities. Her squire Joanna sat down beside her on the roots of a tree, keeping watch as her teacher rested. It would not reflect well on her if she let anyone sneak past them, especially after the castle had been attacked twice that month. Thankfully, the fields seemed clear for the time being. She looked over to the next hill, where another knight and squire kept watch over the fields to the east. The squire, Tobias, waved back before returning to his vantage point. The knight beside him, Sir Kenmore, ignored the exchange entirely.

    Hours passed, and the next group of look-outs arrived to relieve them of duty. Lady Garland gave them a nod of thanks as she and Joanna headed back to the castle, briefly noting the way the setting sun cast a red glow on Sir Kenmore’s armor. Kenmore was one of the few knights who had escaped from their last quest unchanged, although sometimes Garland could swear he saw a hint of something different about him. Her thoughts were cut short when the four reached the training rooms, as the women headed to the newly created second changing room. It would take a long while before they were used to not using the original chamber.

    Keith went to the park one day out of boredom. He was lying on the ground with his hand over his head when he happened to notice something, a girl about his age with short red hair, a white skirt, and blue armor (which he thought was weird). She had a focused look on her face and she was running away from, or to something. He noticed something fell as she ran. He tried telling her but she couldn't hear him. He walked over to it and found a ring.
    It looked old in design but seemed in perfect condition. It was a gold ring with a strange emblem ingraved on the front. He looked to where the girl ran to but she was long gone now. He looked at it again and had a strange erge to put it on. "Ehh, what's the harm?" he thought putting it on his finger. He immediatly felt dizzy, and it didnt take long for him to pass out!
    "Are you alright? Wake up! Please wake up!" He soon woke up to find that girl over his head. "I'm sorry your highness, I ran as fast as I could but I just couldn't make it in time! "Your highness?" he thought. He soon realized that he felt kinda weird. He looked down and noticed that he wasn't looking at his own body! He put his hand over his face and then knew for sure... he turned into a girl! He was started so he sat on a big tree root but he didnt seem so surprised... not even when he looked over and saw that he was on a hill, with a castle in the distance! He tried asking the girl what happened, but what came out was "What has happened?" and he said it in a proper way. That's when the girl started to explain what happened... through her.
    Well it was my turn to take you with me on an adventure, so I took you a cave near the enemy kingdom, as you requested. I went into the cave alone to see if it was safe enough, but while I was in deep, I heared you scream! I turned around and ran as fast as I could (which was what he must've saw before), but I was too late. I found you unconsous and in the hands of to enemy knights! I managed to barely fight them off and I then carried you up here to recover."
    Images and memmories started coming into his head. He/she was a princess of the kingdom she saw in the distance. She craved adventure so once a month, a knight from the royal female guard, like the one next to her, would take her on a small adventure of whatever she said. She knew her name, and her own name and she even remembered the enemy knights trying to kidnap her! And, as a princess, she could only talk in a proper way.
    "Thank you for rescuing me Sabrena. I am in your debt." She said to the guard. "I was only doing what I pledged to do your highness. I must get you back to the castle walls before those knights come again!" They then went back to the castle and she met her new parents. From then on Keith continued living a happy, adventurous life as princess Kira.

  3. Sir Tim rushed over to the half dead prince Mark. Last night a unknown enemy broke through the front gate of the castle. Sir Tim found the king dying in the throne room. The king's final words were "My families line must live on. (coughs up a good amount of blood) Take my only son away from here and makes sure he lives." So Sir Tim and a few other knights took prince Mark away from the castle. They traveled a night to reach the nearest town, but along the way they ran into a group of bandits. They manage to kill all the bandits, but everyone else was either dead or near it, even the prince. (Which brings us to the begin.) Sir Tim rushed over to the have dead prince Mark. Sir Tim was also very wounded also, but he cared more about the prince then himself at the time. "My prince are you ok!" shouted Sir Eric. "I don't feel anything." Sir Tim was shocked by this, he could see that the prince was badly hurt and should be dead. " What, How." was Sir Tim could say. "I can see I been cut badly and just don't feel it, and there some fuzzy felling coming from the cut." As he said this Sir Eric saw the cut begin to heal it self and as it healed the prince began to change. His short brown hair began to grow and get lighter and lighter, until he had purple hair that went down to his back. He lost some feet in height and his arms and legs grew slender and smooth. His pants became tight around him and began to length and change color until it became a green skirt showing a good amount of leg. Sir Eric saw the princes shirt become tight and change to color green which then attached to the skirt making it dress,the shirt sleeves detached themselves and staying below the shoulders.
    The prince gasped as two breasted pushed out of his chest. The final stage was his man hood, as it pushed it self in leaving a hole where it used to be. Sir Tim was so baffled by what just happen, he did not see that his wound had healed and the same thing was happening to him. His hair reached past his cheeks and turned a dark redish color. He became more thin and pale, he lost muscles, yet still felt all his strength. He felt two breast pushed out of his chest and his man hood shrink. His armor stayed the same only fixed itself to match the new body, but his pants began to get shorter and shorter, until it became a skirt. She blinked a few times before saying "Princess are you all right." The princess got up and said "I'm fine Sir Tina, I just need to rest." She sat on a near rock. Sir Tina nodded and said " As you with princess Margaret." And with that she stood next to her ready to protect her from anything.

  4. Ten years had passed since the Dominion first sought to invade this land, this small country of Cantia.
    Under a big tree in view of their beloved town, the two warriors reminisce how it all began.

    The Great Empire abandoned Cantia to its own fate when the Dominion ravaged the continent.
    After a hopeless initial battle, only 2 veteran soldiers escaped back to the town, the swordsman Markus and Felix the magic user. Wounded but still determined to resist the evil Dominion no matter what, the two of them undertook a desperate scheme. They crashed their way into the Goddess' temple and stole the divine artifacts sealed within.
    Markus wielded the set of sword and main gauche, the Reylfeng.
    Felix took up the Jewels of Mina, wielding the magicks of the Goddess herself.
    Together the two of them battled the Dominion's attack upon the town, they prevailed finally after a long terrible battle where hundreds of Dominion troops died and the rest scattered in fear and defeat.

    But Markus and Felix could not escape the artifacts curse.
    They had borrowed the artifacts without the Goddess' permission.
    And with them they had shed blood, of hundreds. Their lives were forfeit.
    Markus' soul was forevermore bound to the invincible blades of Reylfeng.
    Felix's life force was entangled too deeply with the magic of the Jewels, which now became part of him.
    And continued possession of these artifacts of the Goddess, which they could never be separated from, would over time alter them, remaking them into fitting avatars of the Goddess.

    Yes, ten years had passed since then.
    Every couple of years the Dominion would try and try again, and each time they would be defeated.
    Mar and Felisia stand strong as beautiful immortal protectors of Cantia.
