Peas In A Pod

[Non-sex/ual GT vo.re. Male pred, male and female prey. High fantasy fairytale setting]

Alt Title: In Which Yonah Is Visited By Some Old College Friends

Summary: Two of Yonah’s friends from back in wizard college happen to be professional thieves and foolishly accept a contract to steal an item from his tower. This goes exactly how you’d expect but the fun part is in the juicy details!

A fun GT adventure in a magic tower! Magic chase/fight scene! Vo.re! GT snuggles!

Warnings: Sort of betrayal/extreme fearplay, no injuries (except to feelings). Strong language. A sprinkle of very mild adult humor near the end.

Thank you to my proofreaders @j0hnnymouse and @vixen525

“This must be good if they called you both here in person.”

The figure behind the desk kept their face in shadow under a standard issue, but highly personalized cowl. They turned their head to indicate looking at each of the two thieves in front of them who were not wearing cowls, but rather had elegant wizard robes. It was notable that their robes, when examined, had intricate design and stunning construction, they were not brightly colored as was tradition, opting instead for shades of black, and if one wasn't looking (and why would you be? It's rude to stare), you might forget you saw them at all.

“Yeah, weird that the normal missive delivered by raven was a summons, not the offer,” said the female twin.

“Just go in,” said the Shady Secretary, waving them into the office.

The twins had to shield their eyes, as the room they entered was considerably brighter than the lobby. There was no inch of this room where light did not touch, and nowhere could a shadow even be cast. The desks and drawers were solid to the ground and the ceiling was one large mirror. The only objects in the room were a filing cabinet and a desk.

The person behind the desk was not wearing a cowl, but showing off her old scarred face.

“Thank you for arriving so promptly No-uh… um…” she frowned as the twins grinned. Even the guild head couldn't tell Noah and Noam Berkowitz apart.

“I’ll cut the crap,” she declared. “One of our top B&E’s had a failure about a week ago,”

Noam made a mental note to figure out exactly who it was. Everyone’s business was meant to be kept secret. Gossip was strictly forbidden. So of course, the entire guild was full of it at all times. She kept her face straight. The grand master had started speaking.

“But the client is so graciously giving us a second chance. I suppose when you have been waiting for so long to get an object, one failure is not a deterrent.”

She took a breath. “We have been keeping tabs on an item for several years for this client, and its location was finally confirmed when His Mystical Majesty decided to move it to a new location. Scouting this place proved difficult, as it is in the Mystical Woodlands. The locals all had conflicting stories. We finally narrowed it down to a particular tower guarded by a giant mage.”

The twins exchanged glances, but quickly returned attention to the guild head, hoping she had not noticed. They were both thinking the same thing.

“Mage…” the guild head growled. “It wasn’t just a mage, it was a wizard!” she cursed, “Giant wizards? Since when has your guild allowed that?” she spat at the two wizards in the room as if to accuse them.

Noam was a bit shocked that the guild head didn't know. It had been big news for a time. Yet somehow, most people had not noticed or did not care.

“A wizard who, according to our operative, took a great deal of pleasure employing a unique form of torture. She only escaped using a teleport stone. Wasting it, she said. even when it was the reason she made it out alive.”

Oof… both twins winced. An expensive tool for dire situations. And Yonah, for this must be their friend from the wizard academy, had forced her to use it? Fuck… They knew his contract with King Ben was to be an evil wizard but he wasn't actually evil… was he?

“You see why I called you here?” the grand master asked.

In perfect sync they answered. “Sending wizards to deal with a wizard.”

“Indeed,” she said. “Here is the contract.” She held out a scroll.

It was standard-issue: an anonymous client (at least, to them), a description of the object, the amount they would be paying (considerable), and the normal stipulations upon success or failure. Except… the object in this case had some extra conditions, as it was heavily cursed. It was advised they do not touch it for long, nor look into it. But above all else, do not fall asleep with it anywhere on one's person unless stored in a pocket space.

All they had to do was sign it. Not with their names but with their guild codes.

“We want more of a cut,” Noam said.

“Excuse me?” The guild head looked shocked.

“You wouldn't even consider trying this again if you didn't have wizard thieves. You don't have other options, so unless you give us a larger percentage of the reward, you can tell your client to find another guild hall.”

The guild head’s fists clenched and unclenched, but there was nothing she could do. There were no other thieves who were also wizards. And while it would be amusing to have a different thieves guild hall fail the same contract, it would harm the guild’s reputation as a whole.

“Fine…” She took back the scroll and, with the quill on her desk, made a quick adjustment. Noam took it and handed it to Noah. He whispered a quick spell and pressed a finger to the number 10% which had previously been 20%. The percentage the guild would take.

“The change is a complete one,” he said. “I am hurt that you think I would try to trick you, the only wizard thieves in the entire guild,” said the guild head, as if she had not tried several times before.

Noah and Noam inscribed their guild codes onto the parchment and handed it back.

“We won't let you down.”

----

“So, that’s the plan,” Noam said, rolling up the diagram. “Unless you have any more input?”

“I’m still worried. That map of secrets was drawn nearly a hundred years ago by a different inhabitant of the tower. Surely Yonah’s made changes.”

Noam nodded, a valid concern. “So we will improvise where needed. We can’t exactly scout the place. He’ll smell us. And we don’t have enough scent mask to scout and infiltrate.”

She was right, of course. She always was.

“We should have explored more during all of those potlucks he held,” Noah sighed. “Or waited for him to host another! At least we’d know the basic layout.”

“We were kind of busy!” Noam said. “And the next potluck isn’t for another month. So let’s go.”

“Wait.”

“What now?” Noam was looking impatient.

“Are you sure about this? Stealing from our friend?”

That got him a suspicious look. “It’s not stealing from a friend. It's stealing from the king. Always ethical. Second, we signed the contract, and if we bail we won’t be blacklisted - we will voidlisted!”

“I conceded the first point but the second…” Noah laughed. Noam frowned. “What is so funny!?”

“You’re always the suspicious one,” Noam replied, “And yet you believe voidlisting is a thing,” “It is so a thing!” Noam insisted. “Is not!” Noah said. “It’s a rumor, and a bad one at that, to scare initiates.” Noam’s face grew red. “Fuckers,” she hissed. “Still-” she recovered, “-Yonah doesn’t own this item. He is guarding it. So we aren't stealing from him.”

The more they bickered, the sloppier they’d be on the job, and Noah knew it. So he conceded defeat and followed his sister through the woods.That was step one: finding the tower in the living maze that was the Mystical Woodlands. While they walked, Noah checked and re-checked their supplies. Magical daggers, magical lockpicks, spell supplies, thieves tools, and the special formula scent mask that worked on giants.

Noam stopped him and tasted the air. “Should be… Around this mound!” she said with more confidence than Noah thought was deserved, until they had stepped out of the forest and entered a grand orchard. Grand in a literal sense, as many of the trees either boasted huge flowers or sagged with enormous fruits while others were of normal scale.

“This explains the fruit basket Shoshanna got for her birthday,” Noam said. “And the subsequent gifts of jams we all got.”

At first, the trees seemed randomly planted. However, as they walked through, the pattern became visible: there was space for a giant to walk through most of the area. The same could be said for the garden. There were dozens of beds for plants of all sorts, many of which the twins recognized from their own studies of plants that were common spell components. But there were also so many they didn't, and a good portion of those looked rather dangerous. They probably should have paid attention when Yonah had given them tours of the garden.

In particular, one plant, not in a bed, was at the base of the tower. Thick green vines with deadly black thorns twisted up all the way to the single window fifty feet above the ground. Even guild members didn’t have flying equipment to get them up easily and entirely avoid the thorns, which were surely sull of poison.

The twins were not ordinary guild members. They were wizards. They did have flying equipment to get them up easily. It wasn't an elegant carpet, not anymore, but it worked just fine and was small enough to use almost anywhere. Probably the best item they’d ever stolen.

“You forgot the carpet?!” Noam snapped.

——-

Sometimes being a royal mage and evil wizard is exciting. Sometimes it's so boring that one cannot help but fall asleep on the job. Or… perhaps one was not careful enough reading old tombs. King Ben’s archeo-agents had recently gotten ahold of some very old fairy tales, possibly written close enough to the historic events to be foundational. They were not happy about Ben ordering them to hand them over to Yonah. No one ever liked handing the half-Fire Witch ancient and very flammable objects.

Now, if you think this is such an honor that Yonah is being trusted with, it’s very much not. Yonah was given them because it was pretty much guaranteed these were cursed from cover to cover. It was his job to attempt translations, then determine what the curses were and, if possible, break those curses without destroying the books.

And that is why Yonah woke up face down on his desk, the book of Sleeping Beauty glued and imprinted into his cheek.

Maybe he could put a charm on his glasses to block the remnants of sleep magic. But until then, he’d work on another book. He eyed the smallfolk-sized bookshelf that had been shipped to his tower. Not all the titles had been translated yet, so he wouldn't be taking a chance on any of those. And no way was he even touching The Wild Swans. He couldn't be sure if the magic was powerful enough to turn his sister into a swan or if it would be limited to himself.

It was amusing to try and imagine his sister as a swan. As a giant being of fire, it would be nearly impossible to turn her into a normal swan, even with incredibly powerful magic. Certainly the magic in these books wasn't enough. Best not to chance it. Nor The Princess and the Frog. Good chance of turning into a frog. Perhaps … Goldilocks.

He’d already lived through his own version of that*, so at worst, reading it would summon Goldie to his tower. Surely the chaotic entity that was Goldie had a little more control of her Aura of Entropy. Right?

(*see Goldilocks and the Giant Wizard)

Or he deserved a break. He had been working really hard, even if the work was sitting at his desk. Upon standing, his vision swam so badly he thought for a moment he had been cursed and would wake up as some small animal. When that didn't happen, he instead went downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink of water. Work was definitely done for the day.

Unless it wasn’t. He was certainly done with his royal mage duties. He didn't think he could even read a book for pleasure tonight, let alone for more work. No, no, no!

In a moment of delirium, he had thought about his comfortable bed and not the kitchen and had walked into the sitting room. He realized his mistake and turned around, then stopped in his tracks.

That was blood he smelled. Of the human kind. But it wasn't just that. There was something else but his tired brain wasn’t connecting the scent to the memory. Maybe he just needed a better sample. He let his nose lead him to the source of the scent.

There was a small spot of blood on the floor right where the doorframe met the floor. He knelt and breathed in deeply through his nose.

No way. But it couldn't be anything else. Or rather, anyONE else. And if he was here, she had to be as well. Then he realized: they had snuck in. That meant they were here on business. Alright then, business. If it was their job to steal, it was his job to stop them. He licked his lips. Back in school, he had only tasted them and had never given serious thought to eating them, or anyone really. Now he thought about it. Now he couldn't stop thinking about it. Now he desperately wanted it.

----

So far so good. Better than good! They had snuck right behind Yonah as he sat at his desk and slipped through the hole in the trap door without any indication that they had been noticed. Not even a twitch of his giant ears.

Truth be told, this was a dream assignment. On paper. Breaking into a location they had visited many times, they knew the layout without having to scout or get a map. The reality was different. Sure, they had been here before, But trying to find a magically guarded item in a wizard tower was never going to be easy. The location wasn’t going to be someplace easily accessible, that’s for darn sure! Process of elimination helped them at least avoid wasting time looking in places it certainly couldn't be.

“I am very sure,” Noam said as they climbed the bookshelf. “What wizard doesnt have a hidden vault or entire set of passages and rooms behind a bookshelf?”

“Plenty of them! We don't!” Noah pointed out.

“Evil wizards, Noah,” Noam retorted. “Evil wizards. Or any wizard with a lair, which we don't have. We should get a lair! Even Shoshanna has a lair!” “She has a bakery!”

“Same thing!”

Even with both of them pulling books from different shelves, it took a while, Yonah had a lot of books and, of course, the shelves were giant-sized. They did find a few fake books with keys in them and objects that were so obviously cursed, they were not the least bit tempted to steal a little extra side-loot. Nope. Not at all. After all, they had two more shelves to check.

Then they had one more shelf to check.

“It’s not behind a bookshelf.”

Noah jumped (quiet the wrong reaction from a trained thief) while Noam darted behind a book, silently cursing her brother.

Yonah was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, those brown eyes enlarged a little by the spectacles staring straight at them. His expression was hard to read but Noam hoped it was amused. Surely he was amused, yet he just stood there. Even leaning to the side, he nearly filled the opening…

“It was fun for a while,” Yonah said. “Watching you work so hard for something so fruitless. But alas, I would bet what you’re after is behind my spice shelf.”

The twins should have bolted. Anyone would have. But they both stayed where they were.

Yonah smirked. “Let's get this over with then, yes?”

Finally he moved. Or rather, stomped, towards them.

“FEE! FI! FO! FUM!”

Now they really should have run. Only, Yonah had to be playing around. He was just trying to scare them! Noam glanced at her brother, who was gone, and Yonah laughed as he came closer.

“I SMELL THE BLOOD OF HUMANKIND. IT MATTERS NOT THE THINGS YOU STOLE, I’LL CAPTURE YOU AND SWALLOW YOU WHOLE.”

That’s when she ran. Not that Noam thought he would eat them, but he was being damn scary! And after all, if he intended to play childish chase games, she wasn't going to lose! At the very least, she wasn't going to lose and let her brother win.

“We didn't even steal anything!” Noam yelled back, slipping behind the shelf. It felt safe there. She could choose her direction from here, and hopefully not the direction Yonah anticipated her to go.

Such was rendered moot when Yonah dragged the shelf away from the wall. “Oh, it's not going to be that easy,” he taunted. The brim of his hat cast an ominous shadow over his face, except for his glowing eyes.

“No, it's not.” Noam crushed the capsule in her hand, casting a quick wind spell before covering her own face and running blindly in the opposite direction, as Yonah shook the room with his powerful sneezes.

There was only one destination for her. How foolish of Yonah to reveal his secrets so openly. The stairwell seemed so much further away as she fled towards it than when Yonah had been standing in it. Giant houses suck. Everything is so spaced out!

And of course, Yonah recovered fast. Probably cast his own wind spell. Glancing back, Noam could see his eyes were more red than orange, but now he looked legitimately angry. The glance was long enough to see him gesture, and short enough for her to turn forward and see the carpet rise, intending to fling her back. She pushed some magic into her feet to jump, land on the wooden floor, and dash again as the carpet fell right at her heels.

Then it lunged for her. Dammit, that wasn't a puppet spell; it was an animation spell! Fine. Two could play that game. It was risky to get out her staff, but it was worth it when her reversal spell hit the carpet and it turned on its owner. Maybe it was folly to stop and watch Yonah get wrapped by his fancy carpet, but she knew she would have regretted not seeing the look on his face; his head was sticking out the top, all squished as he roared in frustration.

She made it to the stairs and gave a silent thanks to The Whole that she could go up or down and still reach the kitchen, and down was definitely faster than up. Even if the human steps would be easier, it was faster to leap down the giant ones and let gravity do the work for her.

Noam didn't know if she wanted to find Noah in the kitchen or not. No, she did. They didn't get as far on high-rank jobs by being competitive. They got there by being a team. So where had Noah gone…

This was where prior knowledge was really going to come in handy. Yonah had two locations where he kept spices. Actually, it was three but she was designating the drawer and cabinet in the kitchen as the first and the cabinet in the walk-in cupboard as the second. That was surely where the secret entrance was.

Of course, she had to figure out the trigger to open the vault. Nooks were easy: take them out, open them. But it couldn't be as simple as removing the spice jar or sack. She’d probably have to use it in some way. But first, she needed to open a lot of jars. That way, she could test a bunch all at once rather than one at a time.

Fuck! She knew she had overlooked something. Her eyes stung and her lungs burned as she popped the cork on an amber bottle, a poof of red hitting her face before she could react. How could she forget Yonah kept about a thousand different pepper powders!?

She stumbled back and smacked herself in the face with her staff as she cast a water spell. The water blasted her in the face and it was instant relief, as long as she kept it up.

Then the water stopped, and she felt the familiar sensation of a half-giant’s hand wrapped around her body. She had one teleport spell but the chance of re-capture was too great to waste it here.

“Now now,” Yonah chided. “You’ve already seasoned yourself. I couldn't have you undo all that good work!”

Another familiar sensation: a giant tongue across the side of her face.

“Okay, okay! You won!” Noam protested. “Well, if you get my brother, that is.”

The grip on her did not loosen as Yonah closed the pantry and marched back to the sitting room. “Oh, the other one? Caught him before you.” He pulled a rather disoriented Noah from a pocket.

“Very funny,” Noam said. “You know that’s Noah. Now let us go and- uck!”

The grip on her tightened. And Yonah’s face turned harsh with a grin. “I’m sorry, did you miss the part where I said I’m going to eat you?”

Even if the air had not just been squashed out of her she would have been rendered speechless. The statement brought Noah back to reality.

“You- You wouldn't!” he squawked. “Yonah-”

“We’re your friends!” Noam managed to gasp.

“You are THIEVES!” Yonah spat. “Thieves who now know the location of one of my secret vaults. I cannot let you live.”

“You told us how to find it!” Noah objected as he tried to run away, but Yonah caught him mid jump.

“So I did,” he chuckled, licking his sharp fangs. “So I did.”

“But we’re friends!”

Yonah shrugged. “And now you’re food”

That prompted a tirade of confused protests. It took all of Yonah’s self-control not to laugh as his friends slowly realized he was serious. Until the mostly verbal protests turned into verbal spells. A particularly nasty one hit him in the nose and he nearly dropped them as the itching crawled from his nose to his ears, but he was able to tuck them both under an arm as he used one hand to scratch his ears and the other to end the spell.

“Alright, enough.” he seethed. Unsurprisingly they did not heed this order and Noam started to shout another spell.

“Food doesn't talk,” He fumed, and shoved Noah into his mouth.

He half expected Noam to blast him with that spell she’d been preparing, but for some reason she didn’t. It was the perfect opportunity. He had to focus on swallowing Noah.

Wow, he had forgotten how good these two tasted! And it was so nice of them to show up and offer themselves to him, even if he had to work for it. But he had to make this quick. Who knew what mischief Noam was getting up to, even trapped in his grip? A shame. He really wanted to savor this.

Even so, he did hesitate for a moment. He had never eaten a friend before. Okay, clarification - there were a handful of people he became friends with after having eaten them. They don't count. He had never eaten a friend he made before he became evil. Not that the twins were his best buddies or anything, but they were still his friends. And now he was eating them. He could hear Noah crying. He could feel Noah crying. Now that he thought about it, Noam too.

“~no!”

She weakly squeaked as her brother’s kicking feet were pulled into the ravenous maw. Without any hope, she clawed at the giant hand, attempting to get to her brother.

And she released an unholy shriek when he took that massive, satisfying swallow and the squirming lump that was her brother disappeared. Yonah might have only been half giant but eating one human didn’t make a difference in his physique. Maybe he looked a little full? Just… Occasionally, minute movements could be seen from underneath Yonah’s robe as Noah fought to get free, but only the smallest of tremors. It was nothing to the half giant.

And Noah was screaming too. She’d never heard her brother scream like that. He was dying in there, inside the belly of their former friend.

The giant looked at her with fiery, hungry eyes. Teeth glistening with drool. Then he did something truly terrible.

“Absolutely delightful!” He declared, “And struggling wonderfully. You have to feel this.”

No, she didn’t! But Noam didn’t have a choice as he pressed her against his stomach. Oh GODS. The fabric didn’t do much to conceal her brother’s futile struggles under the dense flesh. She could now hear and feel his terror.

The stomach made a happy gurgling noise. And they both cried out ugly sobs.

“NOAH!!” She broke her silence and slammed her fists against the Giant’s gut, as hard as she could. “I’ll get you out! DAMMIT!” It was to no avail. Everything shook as the giant laughed at her.

“As much fun as it would be to see you try, I'm not that desperate for entertainment and you smell so delightful,” the giant cooed, looking down at the squirming human. He pulled her away and back to eye level. “If your brother tasted that good, I can’t wait to eat you.”

Yonah licked her face again. Noam winced as she was covered in near-scalding saliva.

“Mmmmmm, you definitely taste better!”

Still laughing. Deep, hollow, and victorious at their demise. She could only shake and blubber in his grasp.

Then he blinked. And the fire faded away. The laughter was pitched up and mirthful. An annoying laugh.

A familiar laugh.

“Y-Yonah?” Noam’s fear, confusion, and rage were fighting and sentences were not forming.

“You-you should see your fa-faces!” He continued to laugh, nearly bent double and clutching his hand over his gut, squishing Noah who was screaming so loud he could be heard over the giant’s laughter.

“You really believed I was going to kill you!” he wheezed, and adjusted his grip on the woman so she sat in his palm, held there by a thumb.

“Fucker!” The cries of Noah changed from desperate fear to frustration. And a reduced level of fear. “Let me out!!!” But Yonah ignored him. He was talking to Noam.

Who shot him an angry salt filled glare. “You… you-!”

“-had you fooled?” Yonah straightened up, catching his breath. “HOO! That’s a good kick you got there Noah. Keep it up! Maybe it will be enough to make me puke. Hasn’t happened yet, but first time for everything, right?”

The struggling stopped. Dang, he shouldn’t have said anything. He focused on the woman in his hand.

“I’ve gotten pretty good at this big bad giant act!” Yonah smiled brightly, as if he had just played a harmless prank on them.

“Aha, ha, ha…” Noam nervously smiled but couldn’t maintain it. “ACT?’ ACT!?! YOU FUCKING ATE NOAH!” she shrieked, which only bolstered Yonah’s amusement. “STOP LAUGHING! IT ISN'T FUNNY!”

“Wrong! It’s hilarious!” Yonah chuckled as he rubbed his stomach in contemplation, before nodding, “And don’t worry - I’ve got room for you!” He announced with cheeky, monstrous excitement, poking his fingers into her side like she was a baby and he was playing a game.

That set Noah off, and he flailed harder than ever. Oh, that was so nice. Truth be told Noah was rather stuffed in there, but stomachs stretched. Even if Noah filled up the current space, he could make more… Right?

“No! Spare her, please!” Noah pleaded. “You already ate me! For the love of the gods!”

“YONAH, DON'T DO THIS!” Noam begged, eyes red & puffy, her tears mixing with his saliva from before.

This was worse than him not remembering them! He did remember. He was still going to kill them! And he was going to enjoy every moment.

“Don’t kill us!”

“Me? Kill my friends? An absurd notion!” His hollow words failed to assure Noam as she was brought closer to his mouth.

“But first-” breathing in her scent and blowing hot air out “I have a job to do. So are you ready to join your brother?” His smile broadened as he indicated his stomach with his free hand.

“THE HELL I'M NOT!” Noam bellowed, kicking at his face as he opened his mouth wide yet again. Noah, meanwhile, continued to pound uselessly at his insides.

Yonah forced Noam’s feet into his mouth with his free hand and his tongue, pushing her back, licking her legs greedily as she continued to curse him out. His only answer was to swallow.

She tasted almost exactly the same as her brother. Almost. It was subtle, but he could tell the difference.

Swears turned to desperate pleading shrieks as her head passed under his teeth.

“I AIN'T GOING DOWN THIS EASY!”

“GKKCHLKK-!”

He choked as she twisted around only halfway in his throat. She reached out of his mouth and grabbed onto his fangs! Was she stupid?! He could accidentally bite her hands off! No matter, he just lifted his tongue up to dislodge them, feeling her scramble to find purchase on his tongue. All she succeeded in doing was give him more of her flavor before she was pulled the rest of the way into his throat, her hands the last thing to go.

He would have liked to be gentle, but he didn’t have the time, Noah had already been sitting in his stomach for a literal hot minute. So he swallowed hard, ignoring her peril and the objections of her brother. She screeched as the pressure increased to pull her down to his stomach.

Fuck!

He clutched his chest. She wasn’t progressing any further, despite his continued swallowing. At least he could breathe, though not well. The last swallow got her below his neck, but she was still putting pressure on his trachea.

He should have anticipated this. Noah was stretching out his stomach. How he even found purchase, Yonah didn’t know. And it hurt! Noah was pushing against Noam’s feet, keeping her in Yonah’s esophagus. It wasn’t hard, as he already took up most of the space. Fucker probably though he could get him to throw up. It would take a lot more than that.

Yonah took a painful breath, his lungs and pounding heart pressing against his swollen throat, against Noam’s stuck form. She thrashed and his breath hitched.

“Let her in, idiot! She needs AIR!” His voice was harsh and dusty. He wrapped his knuckles against Noah.

With extreme reluctance, Noah silently admitted that Yonah was right. Even if it was a death trap, it was a death trap with “breathable” air. He stopped holding up Noam and let himself be squashed into the bottom of the stomach as another few swallows forced her to join him. Worried she might pass out, he grabbed a hold of her ankles and pulled in time with Yonah’s swallowing.

The stomach graciously stretched to accommodate the second person, way too naturally for Noah’s liking. But at least no air had been pushed out.

Once Noam was entirely in the stomach, Noah hugged her tightly and cried. Through his own shaking sobs, he could tell she was panting and panicking with rage.

What immense relief Yonah felt that Noah had given in!. In fact, he felt an odd tugging. That was really weird. But they were both safely in his stomach now.

Well, not safe. Not for long. But that was okay. He’d enjoy the fullness for the few minutes he had before spitting them out, because it felt incredible. He rarely got to eat more than one person at a time. While one person certainly made him feel full, now he was actually full. And he wasn't going to let that feeling go so soon.

If only they would stop yelling at him! He wanted to enjoy this!

/That BASTARD/ thought Noam /So calmly eating another human!/ No. Not calmly. EAGERLY! RAVENOUSLY. And not just any humans, but his FRIENDS! Back in school, while he had a little trouble adjusting to human culture, he wasn’t divorced from his humanity. And yes, he had tasted them, held them affectionately in his mouth, but he’d never shown any desire to actually eat them.

“LET US OUT, YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU!” Noam started screaming with her first breath of the rancid “air”.

He had been pretty much like any other student. Just larger. He’d helped them study for exams! Made veritable feasts for them in the kitchens! He trusted them not to reveal his secret! And they had kept it! So why, why, why was he so excited to make a meal of them?!

“Hmmmm,” was all the response she got.

“I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR US!” She berated him with a surprisingly strong kick for someone so restrained by his stomach walls.

“Ugh…” Yonah grumbled. “Yeah I can, and you’re ruining this for me. Shut the fuck up, alright?” He had once again dropped his low villainous voice. That part of the game was over.

“YOU ATE US! I WILL NOT-”

But he tapped a finger to his stomach and cast a silence spell. Ahhh, much better. Then he felt one of them, probably Noam, dispel it.

“MOTHERFUCKER I SWEAR TO YOUR PRECIOUS FIFTH ASPECT I WILL KILL YOU!”

“Rude much?” He cast it again but this time maintained it, and he felt Noam thrash after trying and failing to dispel it. They might be powerful wizards in their own right, but his firewitch heritage made him stronger. Noah flailed too. It was cramped in there.

The fluid levels were creeping up. They had to convince him to let them out before it was too late and they took desperate measures. The problem was they couldn’t speak! That made certain spells unavailable, plus he had taken their staves and thieves' tools. And the secret real thieves tools! He had found everything. It was also painfully obvious he was more than happy to leave them to die in his stomach.

Wait. Maybe they didn't have to convince him…

Now that Yonah had a moment’s quiet, he could fully appreciate their struggles and lick his fingers of their taste. He sat on his couch and leaned back. Ahh, this was the perfection of comfort.

“Uh, uh, uh!” With his hand to his stomach he felt the beginning of a teleport, the spell trying and failing to latch onto him. The result made him, and notably his stomach, feel dissociated with reality. But he stopped it before they could set it off entirely.

“That’s not gonna work, so don't try it again unless you want to be sitting in bile,” he warned. “Teleports make me feel icky.”

Specifically, people trying to teleport out of him made him nauseated. At least teleports that didn’t account for him being half-firewitch. Such attempts failed and gave him a splitting headache. Noah and Noam had forgotten the firewitch resistance factor; his head was swimming a bit.

He gave them a few seconds to process this. Mostly with additional attempts to assault him from the inside. Okay, maybe another minute. Or two. Or three…

More than the rolling motions of the muscles and the powerful pulse, the worst of this was the moving pressure on one side of the stomach. Noam had seen it from the outside… she knew he was stroking his stomach, stroking them! Chuckling as they retaliated. Letting them know he could feel them, taunting them in their soon to be tomb.

Then his voice returned.

Even at his normal pitch, from inside him it rumbled.

“I’m going to let you speak now. Do not make me regret it.” The pressure was lifted away, and the silence with it.

“Yonah?” Noam experimented. The silence spell was indeed gone.

“Yes, Noam?” he trilled.

So condescending!

“You’re a fucking asshole!” She choked on panic and foul air, but all the words got through.

“Thanks! I try my best!” And he patted his stomach again.

Neither of them reacted beyond bracing themselves as they bounced, having learned last time it wasn’t worth it.

“Can you not?” Noah pleaded, “Is it not enough that you ate us?”

“Don’t act like I’m the one at fault! You broke into my tower. You know I’m evil now.”

“We didn’t think you were a MONSTER WHO ATE HIS FRIENDS!” Noam retorted.

Yonah chuckled. “No need for name calling.” That got him a few more kicks. “I wasn’t evil back at the academy!” He continued to massage his slightly swollen stomach “And I didn’t even know I could do it. Swallow a human whole, I mean. An elf? Probably. Gnomes for sure, not that I ever did. Anyways, I was fairly sure I couldn’t eat a human. I’m a bit on the small side compared to most giants. Never seriously crossed my mind, no matter how good any of you smallfolk tasted. Especially because of that one time I nearly choked to death on Micah.” (yes I am writing that story)

He heaved a sigh, feeling his diaphragm push down on his friends.

“But I’ve since discovered I can. And it’s pretty damn great”

“It really isn’t!” Noah spat.

“Oh, nonono! Not for you. For me,” Yonah clarified. “You have no idea. There is really nothing like a belly full of smallfolk, just… squirming away in there! You two are wonderfully feisty by the way. Is that because you’re thieves and are good at maneuvering in tight spaces or because you just love me?”

They didn’t answer his question. They didn’t say anything, they just sobbed loudly. They were going to die knowing their friend enjoyed murdering people by eating them alive. How could someone have changed so much? Was the world truly that horrible? And he was still playing with them, poking them and squishing them.

“Something wrong?” He said innocently. “You’re not moving as much!”

He sounded worried? No. That couldn’t be it. Disappointed?

“Maybe we don’t like the idea of you enjoying our deaths!” Noam answered.

“Eh, I’m not gonna kill you.” Yonah gave his belly an affectionately sharp nudge, pleased that saying so earlier had been interpreted as a big fat lie. “I’m going to spit you back up.” He was not pleased that this still did not encourage them to struggle again.

“You’re not gonna ki-? … You're gonna WHAT?!” That voice cracked and Yonah couldn’t tell who said it. But it was very doubtful.

“I know, I’m convincing.” Yonah sounded way too proud. “But kill my friends? I’m not that evil. And I know from experience that, currently, you two aren’t even close to passing out let alone dying. Give me a few more minutes. Maybe some good kicks?” He patted his stomach again to encourage them. He looked down to see if they complied.

Maybe they weren’t dying just yet, but it was getting harder to breathe and the offensive fluids around them made their skin sting, reminding them that this was a stomach. Those were stomach fluids trying to digest them, regardless of whether Yonah wanted to or not. So Noam gave one big kick before withdrawing. That was a nice jolt! But no more as he heard them both grumble. Oh well. Maybe he should be a little less evil… But only just.

His occupants yelped briefly as he jauntily made his way down the stairs. Then screamed wildly as he pressed his hands to his stomach and started to throw up.

“There you go!” Yonah declared, as he coaxed them under the sink faucet. “Right as rain!”

Noam said nothing and lay back, submerging herself in the water to get the offending fluids out of her hair. Noah was still shaking, holding onto Yonah’s hand as an emotional anchor. With his other hand Yonah reached for a bar of soap and from his pockets got out the thieves’ supplies.

Noam snatched the leather harnesses back and got out a knife, carving into the massive soap, handing a chunk to Noah.

Yonah didn’t try to make anymore conversation as the twins cleaned up. But he did supervise them. Resting his arms and head on the counter. These two couldn’t be left alone, and he didn't have anything pressing to do. His research could continue tomorrow.

“Since you’re here you might as well stay the night.” His tone made it clear that this wasn’t optional. “It’s been a while since I’ve had friends over.”

“Oh!?” Noam piped up, she was drying off using one of his hand towels. “Bold of you to assume we’re still friends!”

“Ah!” Yonah gasped, putting a hand to his chest and tried to look dramatically devastated. “What harsh words! Surely something as ridiculous as eating you didn’t destroy our special bond!”

Noam glared at him. “We never had such a thing. But if we did, it’d be gone now!”

Yonah rolled his eyes which only made her fume. “I thought you were made of stronger stuff. Being eaten didn’t stop Myran from becoming my friend! Or Jake! You know I eat him, right?”

There was a lot of silence as they processed this. It was finally broken when Noah finished up his shower.

“For the record,” he said, “I’m still your friend.”

----

Yonah woke up a bit disappointed that he was only cuddling with one human and not two but Noam had been adamant about distrusting him, even if Noah snuggled right up to him just like normal. His little thieves had been quite worn out. And even with Noam’s distrust, he had heard her fall asleep even before her brother. And she was still asleep now. He peeked into her makeshift bed, a large treasure chest into which he’d placed a very fine mattress, the fluffiest pillows enchanted to stay cool, and the softest blankets. It just looked so adorable to have smallfolk sleep in them, and he had several for when he had many guests. Of course, he preferred when his friends slept with him.

So he placed her brother with her and went to fix breakfast. Neither had an appetite for dinner, so they were bound to be ravenous. He smiled as he recalled that the twins favored breakfast food was pancakes. While he couldn't make them as perfect as Shoshanna, he was proud of his recipe, and Shoshanna didn't have syrup from the secret maple grove in the Mystic Woods. He also made a mountain of eggs scrambled with onions, his more mild peppers, and some greens.

“Don’t you fucking dare,” he snarled at Noam, whom he’d spotted sneaking in the direction of the pantry from the corner of his eye.

“Can’t blame a thief for trying,” she huffed, and clambered onto the table where Yonah had set up the smallfolk dining table.

“I can!” Yonah objected. “But I won't hold it against you. Where is your brother?”

“Just taking another shower. He still felt a bit sticky,” she said, and scrunched her face as she tried not to think about why.

Yonah served her a few hot pancakes, but then crossed his arms like a stern teacher. “What were you after, if I may ask?”

“Uhhhh..” Noam took a bite to avoid answering. So Yonah took a guess. “Was it the emerald?”

Noam couldn't help but talk through her mouthful. “Why would you think-”

“She blabbed?” came Noah’s voice as he climbed up the table, his curly hair rather shiny and smelling like fresh pomegranate. It took a lot of self-control for Yonah not to lick the little human.

Noah looked horrified, and he stole a pancake off his sister’s plate. “She lied in her report! What did you do to make her speak?!”

“What do you think?” Yonah smiled and winked. “It’s amazing what people will say to get out of my stomach.”

“A stomach that they’re going to be let out of regardless…” Noam stabbed at her brother’s thieving fingers, to no effect.

Yonah drew up his posture. “Noam, if you two, my friends, people I like, people I care about, couldn’t tell I was bluffing, what hope does anyone else have?”

Noam considered this over a few more bites of pancake.

“When did you get so good at being so evil!?” she finally exclaimed.

Yonah shrugged. “I think it comes naturally to fire witches. When did you go back to the Thieves Guild? Or did you never fucking leave?!”

The looks on their faces told him he was right. He put his arms around the humans, open palms behind them.

“I won’t tell anyone,” he assured. “But I have to know, just in case you’re hunted down someday. I want to know if it was your own stupidity that earned your fate.”

The twins shook a bit. What was he talking about!?

“Were you stealing things from the Academy?” he asked. “Is that why you enrolled? Was the guild so desperate that they would pull a con like that?”

They didn’t relax, not all the way, but they let go of each other.

“Of course we stole things,” Noam said. “We’re thieves.” Worry filled Yonah’s face, so Noah continued. “But not for the guild! Those unsolved mysterious robberies weren’t us! Attending the school was our choice.”

“Most of what we stole was trivial,” Noam continued. “We stole a bracelet from you.”

“My brace- wait! The one I had lost in Xharem’s treasure room? You stole it!? That was-“ the roots of his hair started to glow along with his eyes.

“You’re grandmother’s, we know,” Noah interrupted. “You told us back then, remember? And got so distraught, you couldn’t calm down your hair for two days and missed classes!”

“You helped me look for it! So when Eli found it under a fancy rug a week later-! You planted it! That wasn’t trivial!” Smoke began to rise from his glowing locks.

“Bad example,” Noah conceded. “But we didn’t- and don’t -know who stole the gryphon egg or the Book of Serpent King or the starfield sapphires or… well, you get it.”

Yonah sighed and ran his hand through his hair to calm it down before bringing the rest of breakfast to the table.

“What did she say in her report?” Yonah asked, changing the subject to gossip, everyone’s favorite.

Noah and Noam didn’t understand for a second.

“Jack,” Yonah clarified. “The pro before you were sent. What did she say?”

More of the tension drained, as they were eager to answer. “Well, it was lacking details,” Noam began, “but we could tell the target had been you. Evil half-giant wizard in a tower. She said you employed a unique form of torture that she had to use her teleport stone to escape.”

“HA!” Yonah laughed. “Well, can’t say I blame her. Wasting the teleport stone on me would have been embarrassing.” He winked at Noam to remind her she made the same exact mistake. “I am a bit surprised she did not mention getting eaten.” He considered this a moment, then smiled. “But not surprised she left out everything else.”

The twins looked at his stupid grin with concern. “Uh- there was more?”

Yonah sighed wistfully. “I really shouldn't gossip, especially about myself. And it might get Jack in trouble. Not that I care for Jack, but we parted on more than amicable terms. “

Noam looked at him with narrowed eyes. “What do you mean ‘amicable terms’? You ate her!”

“Yes, I did,” Yonah said with a rather interesting, new kind of guilty smile. His cheeks were flushing red.

That took a full minute for the twins to process until Noah burst out with .

“WAIT, YOU TWO GOINKED?!”

“Jack… of all thieves… sleeping with a giant… I don't believe it.” Noam was staring at her pancakes as if they would start talking and bring evidence to the contrary. No such luck, as Yonah felt the urge to add: “Oh, I was certainly not the first giant-”

“Stop talking! I don't want to hear anymore!” Noam protested, and Yonah resisted being evil.

“Well, you’re welcome for that hot gossip,” Yonah said, taking another bite of his pancakes as he thought of how to change the subject yet again. He hit upon what he thought was a brilliant notion.

“Does your guild master know what you were hired to steal?”

That question stunned them both for a moment. It was unexpected and they had to think about it.

“No… I don't believe so. They only know it's a powerful magic item.”

“Well, I can't give you the emerald,” Yonah said and they nodded with acceptance. “But I think I do have a suitable ‘powerful magic item’ for you to bring back.”

And he explained his plan…

----

“A little later than I thought you two would be back, but a job well done, I must say!” The grand master held the packaged item. “Shady has your pay. You are dismissed.”

They both nodded and walked away. Slowly. This was the riskiest part of the scheme. Oh, they were sure it would work but they wanted to be able to confirm it.

A second before they shut the door, they heard it. The loud, angry croak that sounded a bit like their names, though which name it was not at all clear. And they laughed as they took their money.

They would have to tell Yonah that the book’s curse indeed turned the reader into a giant frog.
