------------------

The end was coming. Magic was going to be wiped out, and Hekapoo with it. Although she had agreed to be part of the process in destroying magic, she had no desire to get caught up in it.

That’s where this scroll came in. According to the magic inscribed upon it, it would change any magical creature into something non-magical. What the something was, who knew, the scroll didn’t elaborate. But Hekapoo figured that anything worked as long as she still existed. With the magic of reality about to hit a breaking point, Hekapoo took a deep breath and recited the scroll centered on herself.

Hekapoo expected some kind of buildup, a more focused change, but she had barely finished reading the scroll before she felt a tingle and whatever change was going to happen swept over her.

There was a bright flash as one of the last spells to ever be cast was expended.

As the light cleared, Hekapoo found herself staring straight ahead. Confused, she tried to get a good look at herself. Wasn't she supposed to be different? Changed into something new?

However, when she tried to do so, she found she couldn’t move in the slightest. Did she change into a tree or something? Why couldn’t she move?! She strained and strained in what was apparently her new body, but she couldn’t budge.

Other than her apparent immobility, she didn’t feel drastically different. She felt about the same size, the same shape. She felt her hands and feet and hair and… base?

For whatever reason, the bottom of her body could be felt pressing down onto something large and round. It was almost like her feet had become one fat blob, but that couldn’t be right, could it? She could still feel her feet. What the hell was going on.

As she grappled with her inability to move and the strange new sensations she was experiencing, her eyes finally adjusted to the room she was in. She seemed to be in some sort of giant store, full of odd objects and knickknacks. Giants milled around, looking at the different items and picking them up. Hekapoo realized that she had somehow shrunk down. Had she become one of the objects on display?

Before she could analyze this thought pattern, a shadow cast over her and one of the giants reached out for her. Their colossal hand clasped around her, but she did not give way to the pressure at all, as if she was harder than flesh.

“Oh wow, you’re a cutie. And so affordable. You’ll look great on my piano.”

The giant carried Hekapoo across the store before she could even react to the statement. Purchased and displayed like some kind of possession? Could this be more humiliating?

It wasn’t until she was brought to the fron that she finally saw herself in the store’s front mirror. She still looked like herself, except that she was made from extremely high-quality porcelain. She was posed demurely, holding her scissors with a seductive smile. She could see now that she was connected to a base that she stood on, and a price tag hung from her miniature arm.

She was… beautiful. An object clearly meant to be displayed and valued through generations of a family. This might not be so bad, and certainly better than her alternative had been.

As the giant finished purchasing her, Hekapoo dreamed of the new, gorgeous life ahead of her.
