Chapter 1
A walk in the the forest
Nathan is a 20 years old man with light brown hair and blue eyes. On one particular morning, he decided to hike through a remote area in the forest. He drove 45 minutes to get there because he wanted to explore new places.
He walked for a while admiring the trees and the wild flowers while hearing the sounds of birds chirping. He eventually arrived at a clearing where he saw a small white wooden house in the middle. Intrigued, he advanced towards the strange building and walked around it to observe all of its walls. It looked rather old and had a window on each side but nothing about it looked off.
He decided to enter the house and noticed that the air felt thicker inside. Also, despite there being no inhabitants, the inside was clean, no dust nor dirt anywhere. There was an oval mirror leaning against the right wall. But the strangest part was the multiple bottles of colorful liquid standing on a shelf in the back of the room.
Suddenly, one of the bottles started glowing and Nathan felt strangely drawn to it. He felt a growing compulsion to drink it. He resisted for a while because he didn’t know what would happen if he did but eventually he gave in and took a large sip.
He felt a strange tingling sensation in his body. It felt good and comforting as he started shrinking. His clothes got too big and his pants fell off. He tried to pull his underwear up reflexively even though his shirt now went down to his news easily covering his privates.
When the transformation stopped, a trail of sparkling light came through the window and circled around him. It transformed his adult hiking clothes into clothes more fit for his new age. It then placed the clothes that fell to the floor back on his body before vanishing through the wall. Nathan looked down a t his body. He was now 10 years old, his arms were hairless, his hands were smaller and he was wearing a blue and yellow stripped shirt with light blue shorts. The ground also looked a lot closer now. He looked at himself in the mirror and saw the face of a young boy. He was both terrified and excited at the same time.
He got out of the house and walked around the woods for a while. It was the same forest but things looked different from his new perspective. They were bigger and more impressive. He kept exploring until he saw a large purple flower . As he approached it, he noticed that a powerful and pleasant smell emanated from it. He went up to it and sniffed it’s pollen which made his head feel fuzzy and his thoughts feel hazy. He felt a bit like he was drunk on the pleasant aroma emanating from the flower. The gas released by the flower made him lose his maturity and adult knowledge. He could still remember being a big boy but he now had the mind of a 10 year old.
When he stopped sniffing the flower, he began running around the forest feeling a sense of wonder as he looked at all of his surroundings. He was very energetic so he kept running and even climbed on a few trees. He had lots of fun until he started getting tired and decided to go back to the house. He was worried that he might be lost for a moment but he felt a force pull him towards a specific direction and found that by following this mysterious tug, he was led back to the house. He went back inside and grabbed the same bottle he started drinking from without hesitation. He was thirsty and didn’t take the time to worry about if it might be dangerous to drink it. He enjoyed the sweet taste as his body began to tingle once more making him smile and giggle.
He got even smaller and noticed that his pants fell down when he felt a new current of cool air coming from below. His face turned red and he placed his hands on his privates hoping to cover them until the trail of sparkling light returned and readjusted his clothes once again.
He looked in the mirror to see a cute 5 year old boy with a super hero t-shirt and race cars printed on his shorts. His hair was now a shade lighter and his face a bit rounder. As he looked down, he saw the ground was even closer than before.
He went back outside to play in the forest. This time, he was to small and weak to climb onto trees but he kept running around in the forest anyway. He started getting hungry so he looked for food and not long after he started looking, he saw a bush full of raspberries. He ate a bunch of them smearing a bit on his mouth and fingers.
He wanted to see the flower again before heading back to the cabin so he returned to it and sniffed its delicious aroma once more. It made his head feel fuzzy and his thoughts became even more simple and immature. He was now mentally 5 years old.
He started wandering around the forest following anything that caught his eye with a sense of childish wonder. He looked around wondering if he might find dinosaurs in this forest. Normally, an innocent 5 year old wandering in the forest would be in grave danger, but in Nathan’s case, the magic in this forest was keeping him safe.
He headed back to the house in the clearing and made funny faces in front of the mirror for a while before noticing that the bottle with the purple juice was on the ground. That’s a good thing because he was thirsty and he was now too short to reach the shelf. He finished the rest of the bottle’s contents and felt the tingling sensation return. He became even smaller and his face became pudgier as he became two years old. When his pants fell down, he just started giggling. He looked at the sparkling trail of light with amazement as it changed his clothes once more. He was now wearing a colorful shirt with cartoon characters, shorts with smiley faces and a diaper underneath.
This time the trail of light transformed into a cloud of gas similar to the one produced by the purple flower which Nathan happily inhaled because of it’s sweet smell. His head felt fuzzy once again and his maturity dipped even more causing him to start sucking on his thumb which brought him comfort. He walked towards the mirror and when he saw his reflection he thought it was another little boy he could play with. After trying to push against the glass and talk to his reflection for a while, he gave up and went outside.
He wandered around the house a bit but couldn’t go far. His legs were wobblier now and he tripped whenever he tried to run. But his young impressionable mind made him feel like he was having the best adventure ever.
When he went back inside, he noticed his diaper was wet and it produced a squishing sound when he closed his legs. He closed and split his legs a few times hearing the squish and started giggling. Then the trail of sparkling light came back and circled around his waist. He looked at the light with curiosity and wonder transfixed by the magic around him. When it left, he felt that his diaper was now dry. He stood there sucking his thumb for a bit until the trail of sparkling light returned and brought him a sippy cup from the shelf. He drank it all and began to feel very sleepy. He then layer down and closed his eyes falling asleep in the house in the woods.
He woke up in a race car bed in a different room. He was in another house away from the forest. He noticed that he was holding a stuffy and that his diaper was wet. His room was colorful and filled with toys for a toddler like him.
It turns out that the house he found in the woods was inhabited by the fae. They couldn’t let a man like him share his discoveries with other humans because it might cause other explorers to come and disturb or even capture fairies. But they didn’t want to kill him or turn him into an animal because he was a nice person that didn’t deserve such punishment for stumbling upon their home by accident. So they decided to slowly turn him back into a child young enough that nobody would believe him if he told them what he found. And by the time he gets old enough to wander in the woods on his own again, he will have forgotten about this place or started thinking that it was just a product of his childish imagination.
