Looking down at his legs, Jon realises several things, firstly his legs are completely hairless, the reason this is so apparent is because he is completely naked, which leads to his realising that every part of his body that he can see is also hairless, however the real doozy is when he realises that his pelvic region is very wrong, instead of a man's narrow hips, flat ass and his little friend and the spherical accompanists he sees wide hips, narrow waist, a full, rounded ass and a pair of lips, in fact on a woman Jon would have admired this very female vision of loveliness but on him it looked odd.
"Why the Heck am I part female? Why do I have a pussy? What the Heck is going on? Where are my clothes?" He thought, fear spreading through his mind like an icy wind, looking around he saw the brochure and picked it up, thinking, HOPING that this might hold some answers.
After several minutes Jon put the booklet back down, he had a shocked expression on his face as he thought over what he had just read. Apparently he and several other people had a disease, the disease changed people into creatures from Myth and legend, it seemed that there were several distinct types, Fae-Touched, so Pixies, Elves, Goblinoids, humanoid beings from fairy tales basically, these were the lucky ones, mostly human, some even exquisitely beautiful by human standards, but then it got worse, Human/Animal hybrids, this was anything from mermaids to nagas to Taurs of all sorts to Were-folk of all kinds the last were the worst off, the non human - Dragons, Phoenixes, Basilisks, Sea-monsters, Cockatrices etc. The Percentages were disheartening, less than 20% were of the first kind, around 70 % were the second type and 10% were the really unlucky ones becoming completely inhuman in appearance. This would be bad enough but it got worse, in males 99% became female, regardless of what Mythic type they would become they would almost certainly become female, and these were the lucky ones! The 1% that remained male would suffer catastrophic changes to their personality and morality, even their IQ would be adversely affected, they would be either evil, stupid, horny twisted in their grasp on humanity or some combination of these.It was at this point Jon was almost grateful that he appeared to be changing into a girl monster. For those that changed into females, they might experience an increase in libido or they might experience minor alterations in personality or morality but they were more likely to retain a grip on their humanity, Changed that were already female never became male and also were more likely to remain OK. However, for all of them male and female ( before or after the change)about 15% of them would transform into something very dangerous or out of control, for example a Basilisk or a gorgon or a vampire or a Fire Elemental, something with a dangerous power they had no control over or a weird hunger that made them dangerous to normal humans. Of that percentage approximately 80 % would eventually acquire enough control to be able to be around others safely, for the remaining few their fate was much bleaker, they were true monsters, and they would be placed into a Safe Place , never to be seen again.
Finally, Jon discovered that for most of The Changed there were Safe Places, sort of like Reservations where they had territory set aside for them to live in peace, however, it was a double edged sword because they were safe within the Reservation but if they left humans had the right to shoot them if they even thought they might be in danger, of course Normals were forbidden to set foot on Changed Territories without an invitation, within The Territories the law was upheld by a sort of Tribal Council of Elders.
Almost all of The Changed ended up in these Territories, eventually.
Jon had a sinking feeling, chances are he was becoming some sort of weird monster girl, he was going to be shipped far away and he would never see his family, or the Wishing Stone again, and he would be regarded as no longer human, so no human rights. This was awful!
He got up and ran to the bathroom, looking in the mirror his face looked mostly the same but it confirmed no hair whatsoever below his eyes. Jon began to cry, he was so screwed!
