Just, no clawing please…” >Taking a deep breath, you walk up the plank to the hutch. >You squeeze your eyes shut and slide your head inside, waiting for the inevitable scratching. >But it doesn’t come. >You risk it, blinking open one of your eyes. >Three empty seats sit where the chickens should be. “Guys? Where did you go?” >Using your magic, you turn over the three pillows in the hut, looking for the chickens. >No, they’re definitely not here. >But where could they have gotten to? >Guess you should tell Ast that they’re gone so you can get looking. >You pop your head out of the chicken coop. >Turning around, you trot down the plank, but freeze as you reach the bottom. >Three chickens stand in front of you, blocking your path back to the house. “H-hey guys, what’s going on?” >You take a step back, and the chickens advance, clucking menacingly. “No need to get rash, girls. Whatever you’re mad about, we can talk about it!” >The chickens keep advancing, their feathers ruffling as they put one claw in front of another. >Your flank hits the chicken coop, blocking your retreat. >Guess you have no choice. >You must engage in combat with not one, but three chickens.  >Could it get any worse? >You hear another cluck behind you. >Looking to the top of the hutch, you spy a rooster glaring down at you. “Cluxton?” >The rooster flaps off the roof of the hutch and glides towards you like a bat of death. >Panicking, you gallop away from the incoming rooster- >Right into the waiting chickens. >Your world turns into a mess of feathers and claws as the chickens surround you, fluttering around your head. >You swing wildly with your hooves, but hit nothing but air as the chickens blind you. >A stray claw scratches your ear, and you yipe as you try to hit it. >You charge your horn, trying to teleport away. >A stray chicken slams into your forehead, breaking your concentration. >Claws scratch your back, face, and chest as you try to defend yourself. >You’re losing, you have to do something! >Swiping near your head, you manage to catch a chicken with your hoof. >It flutters off of you and onto the ground. >You whiny and rear up on your hind legs to stamp at the chicken, trying to finish it off. >As your hooves come down, it dashes between your legs, towards your rear end. >You stamp at her with your hind legs, but only succeed in weakening your balance, slipping on a piece of mud. >Recognizing your slip, the chicken slams into your other leg, knocking you off of your hooves and onto your belly, letting out a little oof as the wind leaves your lungs. >You try to get up, but the rooster lands on your snout, slamming it back into the ground. >Your vision fades quickly due to your numerous scratches. >With your last seconds of consciousness, you manage to mumble, “Cl-cluxton… why?” >You get no answer as your vision fades to black, the last thing you see a smug-looking rooster. -- >Coming to, you feel something yanking at your tail. >You try to let out a groan, but a piece of cloth in your mouth prevents you from making anything beyond a mumble. >Going into full panic mode, you realize what happened before you passed out and try to get to your hooves, but find that your legs are bound together. >You look backwards to find the three chickens pulling you towards the hutch by your short-cut tail. >Oh God, you don’t wanna go in there! >Your eyes begin to water and you desperately cry for help, but it only comes out as a groan. >The scratches are too much for you, you couldn’t possibly fight back against those three! >Not in your current state. >You try to cause some drag with your two bound front legs, digging them in the dirt. >All it does is prolong the inevitable. >Your flank bumps against wood and you begin to slide upwards towards the coop, tears streaming down your cheeks. >You could be stuck in there for days, maybe even weeks before Ast notices you! >Your body continues to drag up the slope. >Your stomach hits wood, then your chest. >Oh no, your flank is already inside the chicken coop! >Desperate, you use the backs of your front hooves to latch onto the bottom of the wood plank, holding on for dear life. >You feel yank after yank on your tail, but you hold fast, willing Ast to come find you and save you. >But your eyes widen as Cluxton casually hops in front of you, a smug smirk plastered on his beak. >He places one claw on the rope tying your hooves together. >You desperately try to keep your grip, but he’s just so strong. >Yelling through your gag, you try to plead with him, shaking your head violently, but he’s just too strong. >The chicken shakes your grip, and you slowly slide backwards into the hutch, tears pouring out of your eyes. >Your head and hooves finally get pulled into the coop, and you look around in panic. >One of the chickens holds a bottle of paste in her wing. >And over in the corner… >It’s a pile of feathers. >No, anything but that. You’ll do anything! >You close your eyes and thrash around in panic, bumping your hooves on the walls of the coop. >Two chickens land on your hooves while Cluxton places one claw on your snout, stopping your struggles and holding you in place. >You feel claws walking on your back, and soon, the liquid paste begins to drip over your coat. >Here come the tears again. >But you can’t do anything, not with three chickens holding you down. >Soon, you’re covered head to hoof in paste, and you’re sure of what comes next. >You cringe as you feel chicken feathers being spread all over your glued form, covering every bit of your coat. >This is bad! What if Ast comes in here and doesn’t recognize you since you’re covered in feathers? >She’ll just think you’re another chicken! >Defeated and hopeless, you flop to the ground no longer resisting. >The chickens flip you over and do your other side, but it’s no use, you’re just going to be a chicken forever. >W-will you have to lay eggs too? >The chickens look over their work, satisfied at the mess they’ve made of you. >Then, they turn and leave. >Wait, they can’t leave you here alone! >Reaching out with your bound hooves, you try to call out for them to wait, but they just walk out, shaking their tail feathers mockingly at you. >Moments after the last leaves, the plank slams up against the door, trapping you inside and flooding the hut with darkness. >It reminds you of… Oh no… >A final tear drops out of your eye. >This is your life now. >Laying eggs, eating seed, living in a cramped hut… >You’ll be just another chicken forever now, and even your own wife will never know the difference. >It’s all over for Gar Iceon.
