Magical Meddling

Issue #1: "The Formula"

A wish for eternal youth becomes a nightmare of shrinking in this sordid tale of Princess Delia's misbegotten foray into the world of alchemy.

Given her lack of any previous training or experience, the princess probably should have known better than to meddle with the magical apparatus in the wizard's tower, but she has always had a rather high opinion of her own abilities. An opinion that's about to become lower ... and lower ...

"Magical Meddling" was the first shrinking story that I ever published online, now adapted into a comic. This first issue adapts the original story in its entirety, while future installments will continue the tale. In this opening chapter, the results of Princess Delia's hubris are soon discovered by the court wizard Makedon, much to his surprise (and perhaps delight?). He will of course agree to try and fix her little problem, if such a thing is even possible, but not before taking her over his knee for a short, sharp lesson in humility.

Issue #2: "The Handmaids"

Makedon left Princess Delia with one simple instruction: to remain hidden in the tower whilst he fetched some research materials from the library. But of course, it is not in Delia's nature to obey anyone's commands, let alone those of the court wizard. Wearing a makeshift garment, the shrunken princess leaves the tower and attempts to sneak back to her bed chamber.

Soon enough Princess Delia lands herself in trouble, falling into the grasp of a couple of handmaids to whom she'd been rather cruel in the past. The long-suffering servants waste little time in administering justice in the form of a well-deserved birching.

Perhaps the little princess is finally beginning to regret her meddling?

Issue #3: "The Glamour"

There's no two ways about it: this day simply hasn't gone well for Delia. Not only has she been shrunk to half of her usual size, but now she's forced to allow herself to be smuggled in a basket by one of her own handmaids. It's hardly the most regal form of transport for a princess. At least this temporary indignity should get her back into her own bedchamber. However, it seems likely that her vengeful handmaid might want a little something in return for her assistance ...

What Ella the handmaid desires above all else, it seems, is to feel like a princess for a day - and Delia is going have to help her fulfill that dream. This curious reversal of their roles may bring the two women closer in some rather unexpected ways. After sharing a bath, they enjoy a little "special time" together in the bedchamber.

Ella then enlists the help of the castle guards to settle an interesting question - who is more beautiful; a servant dressed as a princess, or a princess in rags? Needless to say, the shrunken Delia is not pleased to be a participant in this particular contest. She can only hope that Makedon might arrive to rescue her before things become any more humiliating.
