A Valkyrian Surprise (FTF TF)

E.C. 1937.

The Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance and the Atlantic Federation are remained locked in a conflict in which no one could ever dreamed to end. Still seeking the rare Ragnite deposits, the Principality of Gallia has done whatever they can to prevent such a valuable resource from being used for war, as well as utilized in gain favors of other nations for selfish reasons. It may be a temporary peace, but at least it has kept the nation safe and stable, which is the most important thing for them right now as the constant wars all over Europa is proven detrimental to everyone in a long run.

Even when there's rumors of a rebellion brewing from behind the scenes, everyone can live out their lives without having to worry about the war at the moment. For those who have been fighting for the past past years, such a peace is more than welcome.

"Finally, my dream is been achieved!", 22-year-old Alicia Melchiott sighs in reliefs as she looks at her bakery with pride, "After all that's been going on, it's nice to know I can finally get to live the life I've always wanted. If only Welkins is here to see all of this..."

She wasn't kidding at all. Welkins having to teach at some school somewhere else to make a sustainable income for themselves surely is a hard task, but Alicia knows all too well that her husband is the kind of person that would do anything for those he loves and care about. Even more so as she just learned that she is pregnant with Welkin's child.

Nonetheless, this only motivates her to work even harder to make everyone happy, especially with a child growing inside her.

"One piece of cherry pie for the lady."

"Thank you so much, ma'am!", the customer said as she takes her order and leave the shop, "The food here is great! I can see why there are so many people here today!"

"It's not everyday a baker comes from a non-royal family.", another customer commented as she takes a look around the bakery, "You're quite lucky, Miss Melchiott, and I can't wait to tell everyone else about your delicious food."

"Hehe, I'm happy to hear that...", Alicia replied modestly as she looks around her bakery filled with people eating and enjoying the bread she made. Alicia can only smile as the day goes by until the young woman closes the bakery for the day, sighing for a job well done.

"Talk about a busy day at work!", Alicia commented, stretching her arms out in relief, "Still, I'm glad that I can help so many people with my bread. Now, time to head back home and make some dinner before Welkins comes home!"

As per usual, her husband Welkins went home, sharing his own experience teaching at a school in a town at the southern border of Gallia, how slightly awkward his first day was, and the fact that he's already been nicknamed "Gentleman Instructor" by the students.

"Hehe, I guess being the son of a general has its own drawbacks!", Alicia laughed it off, "Still, you're a teacher and a great one at that, so I'm sure they'll get along with you eventually."

"I hope so, Alicia...", Welkins replied nervously, "Teaching is a new experience for me, so it's only natural that I'm bound to make mistakes eventually."

Clearly exhausted from all the work, the couple decided to rest for the day, all while not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow...

"Hmmph...", Alicia frowned, "Looks like I ran out of coal for the oven."

Apparently, all of those customers demanded more of her hand-made baked goods so much that she didn't noticed she ran out of coals needed for her bakery. Luckily, Alicia knew where to find more coals, but she wasn't too thrilled at all.

"Of all days...", she complained as she grabs a bucket and shovel before heading outside her bakery, "Can't believe that I ran out of coals just before opening time!"

Not that she can do anything about it since the next town is too far away for her to walk, forcing Alicia to go to a nearby mine to pick up some coal. Being a Valkyria alleviates the chore of having to mine for coals, especially as most bakeries throughout Gallia were powered by Ragnite, something mildly irritates the young Valkyrian for a bit.

"Seriously, those Ragnite-powered machinery can be an ass at times", the woman groans as she mines a few more coals on the side, her breath shows her annoyance, "It really undermines the true art of having to work up the dough and manually set up the oven by hand, and it seriously sucks when it turns out those machine breaks down in the middle of the process!"

Having to carry several bags of coal back to the bakery on her own, Alicia was about to head out of the mines when the ground beneath her collapses, causing her to fall into a large underground cavern.

"Ugh... that hurts...", Alicia moans in pain as she tries to stand up, lumps of coal all over the place and her ears still ringing from the impact of the fall. "I didn't expect this place to have an underground cavern... Guess I have to find another way out. Still, what's that weird glow over there?"

Despite the risk, Alicia went to the source of the light to investigate it, finding herself to be in a rather spacious room with strange carvings everywhere, with a glowing pink stone sitting in the center of the room.

"Is this... a Ragnite ore?", Alicia wonders as she inspects the rock in front of her, "I didn't know there are rare pink Ragnite ores like this one." From what she have heard, most Ragnite ore has a variety of colors that signifies their purity, with blue Ragnite being the most concentrated while red Ragnite is the most unstable of them all. Yet, a pink Ragnite ore is quite rare and never before seen by the eyes of anyone, a discovery that could change the world if exploited correctly.

Alicia decided to pick up the ore in front of her and suddenly felt a small jolt throughout her body. "Huh? What was that?", Alicia wondered as she looked around for any other signs, but to no avail. Seeing nothing wrong, she pick up a small shard of the ore and puts it in her pocket as she gathers all the coal she can find and crawl her way out of the mines, not caring of the tattered clothing she wears.

"Finally, I'm out!", Alicia exclaimed as she stood up and brushed off the dirt on her, "Now I just have to head back home and open up the bakery..."

The day then went smoothly in spite of the early morning problems she encountered, surprisingly able to bake more efficiently than usual to her valuable customers' delight. However, the fact that she's been feeling strange lately is starting to worry her.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence or something...", Alicia said to herself as she finishes the last batch of bread for the day, "I should be fine... right?"

As she closes her shop for the day, Alicia heads straight home without a care in the world, needing to wind down from work. A mail at the hinge of the front door revealed that, due to some unfortunate circumstances beyond the school's control, Welkins will have to stay overtime to deal with the problems, much to Alicia's dismay.

"Awww... Welkins has to stay late tonight again...", she groaned as she read the letter, "He'll be coming back so late, he probably wouldn't be able to eat my cooking..."

Despite her worries, Alicia still decided to make dinner for Welkins and herself, having to eat hers and reserved another for her husband as she heads upstairs to take her nightly rest. However, unlike before, she couldn't get herself to sleep as her gaze points at the shard of pink Ragnite ore sitting at the desk on her right. Like it was calling out to her, the young Valkyrian walked up to the object and picks it up with her fingers.

"What is it about this ore that's making me feel strange?", Alicia thought as she inspects the rock in her hand, "I mean, sure, it looks cool, but why does it feel like it's alive or something?"

The tiny pinkish glow on the ore intensifies into a bright pink flash as Alicia felt every part of her body jolted into a paralyzing spasm. "What's going on?!", the young woman screams in terror, "Why am I suddenly feeling weak?!"

The young woman slightly recovers from the sudden shock as cold sweat continues to pour down from all over her body. Alicia's body starts to feel warm and slightly painful as her eyesight became blurry and her body becomes heavy. "I feel so weak and dizzy...", she moaned, "I don't even have the strength to stand anymore..."

Alicia's body began to ache as she falls to the ground, unable to stand up no matter how hard she tried. She felt as though every bone and muscle in her body are on fire, her body's temperature rising up with each passing second.

Her long white dress suddenly explodes into shreds by the pulse of the shard, leaving her completely naked for a bit as the shredded pieces of her clothes reassembling around her body into that of a form-fitting black suit, exposing her legs and her arms to the cold air of the night.

"W-whaa-!? What's happen-ngh?", Alicia groans as she fell onto the floor, "What's happening to me? This isn't- ugh- normal!"

Another pulse of light flashed out of the shard, the two ribbons on her hair coming loose and falling onto the ground in tatters, revealing her long red hair as it flows freely to the back of her knees.

Her arms start to tingle as she can feel her strength seeping out of her, only to be replaced by a burning sensation throughout her entire body. The burning sensation grew more intense as her muscles expand and contract, making her gasp in pain as she felt... powerful.

Too many questions were swimming in her head, trying to make sense of what was going on, but she couldn't make heads or tails of it. She only knew that this was getting out of control and it's only getting worse as she took a quick at herself and her black suit.

The same black suit worn by...

A sudden realization immediately hit her, "No way... I'm turning into...", Alicia's eyes widen as she looks at the glowing pink shard in her hand, "No, no, no! This can't be happening! I can't be turning into...!"

The young woman suddenly feels another surge of power welling up within her, silencing the woman as her heart pounding loudly as the power coursed through her veins. Her hands and legs starts to becoming more shapely and feminine, with her fingernails extending to an even longer length.

Her hair starts to lengthen and grew outwards, slowly changing color from the usual brown to creamer brown before settling on the familiar white hair that's been associated with the War Witch. Her nipples suddenly stood on end, quickly alarming the young woman as she looked down upon herself, seeing her chest expand outward at an alarming rate, making her grow taller and stronger by the second. Her once-modest breasts rapidly swell to the size of ripe melons, her waist slimming down into a smooth hourglass shape, her skin taking on a lighter color, and her legs becoming long and lean.

"G-guh...! Haaaah!", Alicia moans in pain as her transformation continues, "N-no... why is this... happening to me?! Why am I- ugh- turning into her?!"

The shock of her metamorphosis almost make her cry, yet...

"What is this... feeling? I feel so calm and... satisfied...", Alicia thought to herself as she felt something awaken inside her, "It's as though... my whole life... was meant to lead up to this moment..."

As the young woman's body continued to change, she couldn't help but feel her newfound power and strength flowing throughout her body. She can't deny that being in this form, as a War Witch, makes her feel... alive.

Alicia slowly stands up and looks at her now-voluptuous body with her hands, feeling the curvature of her large breasts, her slim waist, and her wide hips. "My body... feels so different...", the woman whispered as she looks at her hands, "I feel... so powerful... and so... sexy."

The woman then looks at herself on the mirror and gasped in shock at the sight of the person looking back at her. Her breasts are bigger and fuller than she ever imagined, her waist is much smaller than before, and her hips are wider and rounder. She took a closer look at the mirror, noticing that her eyes are no longer the usual brown they once were as they were completely red, as well as her hair color, which had changed to an icy blue.

She has instead looking at the face of the former Imperial Commander of the East Europan Imperial Alliance, Selvaria Bles.

"I can't believe it...", Alicia whispers as she looks at herself, "I'm... I'm turning into her...!"

Suddenly, the shard that transformed her in the first place started glowing again, catching her attention. "What now?", the young woman thought as she watches the light intensify. A pulse of light suddenly emitted from the shard, eliciting a long gasp from her.

"Ughh... What's with all the flash from the...", Alicia paused as she noticed something's off with her voice. It was slightly lower than her usual meek vocals, like a person's voice with an air of confidence in it. "Okay, this is... strange...", she said to herself, this time her octaves are noticeably deeper than before. "What's with my voice?", she wondered out loud as she clears her throat.

"Something is... off?", Alicia asked herself, her voice now completely match her body and appearance, "This sounds like her... I'm sounding like her too!"

There's no denying it: Alicia Melchiott has turned into Selvaria Bles, the fearsome War Witch of the Imperial Army. Much of her body seems to have been transformed, some of it even "improves", but only her face is the only thing that was left unaffected by the transformation, although her eyes changed into the War Witch's ruby-red pupils and that her lips has been changed into a pair of light purple ones.

All in all, she has, in all technicality, fully became Selvaria Bles, one whose face still has the optimistic and cheerful expression of Alicia Melchiott. The pink Ragnite shard gives off one more pulse before loses its vibrant glow, turning into a darkish grey shard before it crumbles to dust, its last bit of power spent to change the young Valkyrian into her new formas the rest of Selvaria's clothes materializes on her body.

"No way... I can't be her!", Alicia screamed, "Why did I turned into her?! Why did my body turned into her?!"

She tries to get a hold of herself as she tries to calm her mind, thinking of a way to explain this to her husband, or how to reverse it.

"I have to calm down and think this through.", Alicia said to herself, "Welkins isn't supposed to come home until tomorrow afternoon..."

Suddenly, a knock was heard from downstairs. She gasps.

"Alicia, I'm home! The teachers and I have to deal with the situation at school, so I'm very sorry if it did arrive late..."

It was Welkins, having to arrive earlier than expected. Alicia couldn't believe what she was hearing: her own husband was home and there's nothing she could do about it. "I have to get him out of here before he sees me like this!", the woman thought frantically as she tried to come up with an excuse.

Like a clockwork, Alicia realizes something: since she is in the form of Selvaria, she also have her powers and abilities at her disposal, not to mention the voluptuous body of the War Witch, which would surely surprised her husband... for better or for worst.

To be fair, she'll find another way out of this predicament by find that ore, but until then, she will have to deal with the unexpected and unpredictable situations she would face along the way...

"I guess there's no way around this, so...", Alicia sighed, "Here goes nothing..."

Clearing her throat one more time as she switches her voice to a deeper tone, Alicia then closes her eyes and sighs in anticipation, her expression immediately shifts from her usual demeanor to one of utter seriousness that was only ever seen on the War Witch's face. A lustful seductive smile slowly forms on her face as she opens her ruby-red eyes, the once-innocent gleam in her eyes is now replaced with a cold, icy stare.

At this moment, Alicia Melchiott, the kind-hearted baker and wife of Welkins Gunther, no longer exists. Instead, a voluptuous and sexy War Witch stands in her place, one whose lust for power and pleasure can't be compared to anyone else in Europa.

"On to the battlefield we go..."
