***************************************
Jemek leaned back in his chair and kicked his feet on to the counter. It was a slow day at the trade post which was the norm for begin so far out in the countryside. Oh, their had been a few Serfs in and out to buy some goods and complain about the wolves poaching their flocks, but nothing too important. Unlike yesterday when that Bogatyr lumbered into the trade post. The sight of this this monstrous woman stomping up to his humble counter. had almost scared him out of his chair!



It was just like the stories the height, the fierce eyes... and the grumbling belly resting on his counter. It was terrifying at first, but her soft voice and friendly smile helped things. Though he couldn't stop himself from breaking out into a nervous sweat every time he heard that broad belly growl and grumble right next to him. The huntress Chista asked about the Gremlins and thankfully muscle memory had him reaching for the bounty missive, as her belly let out deep roar of hunger that almost made him jump out of his skin.



She'd taken the bounty and left with a polite goodbye, and he hadn't seen her since. Maybe she'll deal with the Gremlins? After all the Bogtyr were a bloodline of noble heroes! Well... before they became man eating monsters. "She seemed nice." He mused. Glorp! Groooooaaaannnnn!! A wet groan filtered through the wooden walls waking Jamek form his nap. "the hell..." He looked around as the sound started to get louder a wet Slushing of water or something. Had the pipes burst? No... the sound was coming from the front of the building.



Just then he saw something large lumber past the window. It was huge round... thing that swayed and bounced across the window with the wet sloshing accompanying each movement along with the bellowing groans rumbling on the other side. Jemek broke out into a cold sweat as he tried to piece together what the hell was going on, when the answer reviled itself to him in grotesque and shocking manner as the front door swung open revealing a large mass of flesh that surged through the much smaller door frame.



Jamek's mouth open in shock and growing horror as his eyes widen at the grizzled imprints pressing out against the flesh. Bones... so many bones. The rounded tops of skulls pressed out with the hollowed eye sockets peering outwards in seemingly all directions. Their soulless stares shifted with the belly with a wet gurgling slosh followed by a light clattering of hallowed skulls bouncing off each other or the other bones pocking outwards. Ribs... femurs... tibias... it was hard to tell what being to what in the shifting gurgling mass barging it's way into the trade post.



Then with a loud Slorp! The whole mass squeezed through the doorway and... the Bogatyr from yesterday followed it. Then it all clicked. The gurgling mass wasn't some separate monster it was her stomach! His mouth open to say something but could only manage a soft squeak with some intelligible gawking. the stories weren't even close on how... terrifying this was! This was a nightmare! All those... things churned down into... Jamke swallowed nervously as he watched on of the skulls sink back into the woman's soft heft. He swore he heard a muffled crunch under the wet deafening gurgles echoing in the room now.



"Sorry about the wait!" The words... caught Jamek off guard and he finally looked up to meet Chista's cheery face. "There was a lot more than four Gremlins in that copper mine, but I got them all!" As she finished her sentence her smile changed into a far more... predatory grin as she clamped down on her hard-working belly jostling the churning grave of the Gremlin tribe inside. "The bounty said ten Kopniks for each Gremlin and by my count there were ten of them."



Jamek's eyes widen "T... TEN!" He stammered out now sweating as the woman simply nodded. He was quite for a few moments, but his training kicked in. "S...S... So, I need to s... see proof of the claim." He just realized what he'd said to her as the words left his mouth, and immediately regretted it when he caught a glimmer of something in Chista's eye.



"Proof?" Chista said with a playful tone her smile shifting into a smug smirk all while her hands squeezed her belly. The orb let out a sharp wine and Jamek winced when he heard another faint snap in the mist of the low grumbling. "I think you have all the proof right here." She leaned forward her large breasts were soon splayed across the top of her belly covering one of the Gremlin skulls. The wet slop of digested Gremlins surged forwards as well pressing those bones against the plush flesh once more displaying a moderately censored version of the grizzled sight within her belly. "All you have to do is come over here and count them."



Jamek's heart almost stopped at the suggestion as he tried to vocalize some sort of response but fell short as he looked into those eyes. This wasn't a suggestion from her. He tried to stammer some words once again, but his tight dry through failed to provide any. So timidly he stood up and walked around the counter. Her eyes followed him the sharp glimmer of something... troubling still in those sharp eyes. He swallowed as he steadily inched closer and closer to the gurgling churning ball of flesh.



Now that he was closer, he could actually see Chista's belly churning as the bones shifted ever so slightly. Of course, it was the awful sounds sloshing form her depths that sent shivers down his back. Every wet Glorp and bubbling Gurgle carried with it the loud Groaning of those powerful guts sucking down gods know how many pounds of meat, bone, and... whatever else the Gremlins had. Soon he was in arms reach of the churning grave, and Jamek looked up at her once more as if to ask. Do you want me to...? There was no need to finish the nonverbal thought as those yes gave him an emphatic. Yes.



He swallowed and looked down at the heaving churning stomach once more and slowly reached a hand outward...
