“So, let me see if I understand this all correctly.” Abby was looking at the two of them with a stern look on her face and her arms crossed, emphasizing the enormous breasts that hung tantalisingly in front of her. “You were captured, with bracers that stole your magic, and only returned enough to allow you to exist and to cast spells for your masters.”

“Yes,” Amani nodded.

“Ok, so once you met Dan who was your new master, he used his one wish to free you.”  Amani nodded, “The bracers were removed, but still held the magic it had leached from you for tens of thousands of years, and now some mortal has it in his possession.”

“Yes, and that is why we need the Silthr rose.”

“Along with a whole list of other things.” Dan added as he pulled out the list of paper he had Amani make.  He handed it over to her. She gave it a look up and down.

“Well I have at least five of these in my possession,” she said, laying the paper down.

“Really?!” Amani almost bounced out of her chair in excitement.

“Really, the issue however lies in obtaining other items on this list.”

“It's too bad we can't go buy or trade somewhere for those Items.” Dan sighed as he leaned back against his chair with a sigh.

“Wait, wait that is a great Idea!” Abby said, slapping the table with her hands.  Dan felt something soft curl around his leg, looking down he found a golden tail slowly wrapping around his leg and creeping upwards.

Choosing to ignore the tail that was currently inching towards his crotch he looked back up at Abby.  there was a smirk on her face, but other than that there was no way for someone to tell she was playing with him.

“What do you mean by that?”

“What if we use your shop to sell and buy things as a cover for acquiring these items.” Abby smile deepened as her tail reached her desired location and started softly rubbing against the fabric of his pants.

“That is all well and good but I really doubt the elderly women that come into an antique shop will have any of these things.” Dan said, his voice hitched slightly as the tail crept up higher and slowly slipped down the front of his pants, the scales felt cold against his bare skin.

“That is a great Idea Abby!” Amani shouted, standing up and knocking her chair over in a loud racket. “If we set it up and mark it with a seal it would be easy for other سحر to find us, and they would definitely come check it out.”

“I am assuming that word means something I should know...” Dan said, tapping his finger on the table as he looked up at amani. “English, did I not say to speak in english?”

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

“Sorry, it means people of magic, people like me and Abyzou.”

“I am just guessing here but you would have a way to make it so that customers of er, my race, come in and don't freak out due to I dont know there being snake people and bird people and whatever else.”

“Oh, we won't let harpies in...” Abby narrowed her eyes as she looked at some memory in the past. “Thieving bitches...”

“Ok, so, no harpies, got it.” he said, holding up his hands in defence. “But it still stands to reason we need a way to disguise the patrons of a hmm, more magical nature.”

“You mean like this?”  Abby slithered out of her seat, and as she did her tail pulled out of his pants, halting the heavy petting she had up to that point been giving Dan.  with a flick of her wrist her lower body transformed into that of a regular womans, complete with all the parts and pieces needed.

“If you could do that why did I have sex with you in your snake form?” he asked looking her over. She puffed out her cheeks, and stuck out her tongue at Dan.

“Where is the fun in that? This form is so, cramped...”

“Whatever, so you are saying there is no need to do anything as they will disguise themselves?”

“Mhmmmm” Amani nodded.

“Ok, so what will we sell?”

“Do you know how much stuff I have collected over the last couple thousand years alone?”  Abyzou asked, looking at him with a mild smirk. “I would love nothing less than to be able to get rid of some of it.”

“So, then it is decided,”  Dan nodded to himself.

[Outside The Shoppe of Oddities]

Sara was a sweaty mess, she had spent the last hour and half picking out the right dress, this time she was going to do it, fears be damned.  She was wearing another sun dress, this one was a bright red with some white floral patterns and a splash or two of green thrown in there to highlight and contrast the bold reds and whites.

Checking to make sure her deoderant was still holding up she took a deep breath and stepped around the corner.  There it was.

The Shoppe of Oddities.

She had only been there once, but the place was constantly in her thoughts, though that was more because of the man that owned it than the actual shop itself.  Walking forward she pulled the door open and stepped into the shop’s cool dark interior.

“Hello! Welcome to the Shoppe of Oddities!” called out the cheerful voice of a woman, it took a second for Sara’s eyes to adjust but soon she was able to see it was that ridiculously gorgeous woman that had been with Dan last time.

Questions burned in her mind.

Who was this woman?

What kind of push up bra was required to make her boobs bounce so?

What was her relationship with Dan?

All of these things ran through her mind, but all she said was a small “Hi”

“Oh, do we have a customer?”  came the voice of another woman, and soon another one walked out of the back room.  This one made Sara’s heart sink, what was with this????

Did God have no mercy or righteousness? Why was this woman even more endowed than that one????

“Hi, my name is Amani, and this is Abyzou, my sister!” Said the bronze one with a bright smile.  No matter how you looked at it they couldn't be sisters right? Both had different skin colors and heights and well ‘sizes’  sisters were supposed to look alike right?

“I- Is Dan here?”  she asked softly.  But in her mind she was screaming about how unfair the world was.

“Someone call me?”  Dan asked, peeking out his head from behind the divider that lead to the residential part of the shop. “Ms. Lawrence? Hello, why are you here?”

“Well. I was hoping, well, you see, can we discuss some things?”

“Sure what do you need?”  he asked fully stepping out. He was wearing a black pair of jeans with a black undershirt and a brown and blue flannel shirt over that with the sleeves rolled up and the top two buttons undone.

He was simply to handsome.

He stood there waiting for her to begin, but she glanced at the two women behind Dan, and the taller lighter skinned one in general was staring daggers at her. “I meant in private over some coffee or something...”

“Oh, ok sure thing.”  he looked back at the two. “Take care of the shop I will be back.” and with that he left the store with Sara.

“I'm going to kill her,” hissed Abby narrowing her golden eyes to a dangerous level.

“No, dont.”Amani said.

“Bu-but sis! They are going on a date! How can we let our husband go do anything with another woman unsupervised!”

“Who said anything about them being unsupervised?” she asked with a dark smile.

“We're  following?”

“We're  following.”
