School Safe Haven

[BabyWarlock]

Tain, putting food before anything comes downstairs. He rushes into the kitchen and sits down at the table. His feet don't quite reach the floor being slightly small for his age. "YAY DIN-DINS!" He yells excitedly tracking the toad in Mina's hands with bright sparkling eyes. As she serves him some and puts a large blob of Heinz beside it. He kisses her with a small "Fank oo." He immediately starts eating making a rather large mess over the last two hours his motor skills seem to have regressed as well as his face.

((Mind if we include shrinking as well as skill and mental regression))

[Zinaya]

Observing his table manners, Mina gets up without a word and brings out a plastic bib (pale yellow) and puts it around his neck before Tain can do too much damage to his clothes, the table and the floor.

[BabyWarlock]

Tain doesn't seem to notice and continues eating. After he's finished he looks up at Mina with puppy dog eyes. "Miiiinnaa can I have more pweese?"

[Zinaya]

"Of course dear! Such a good boy for eating all of his toad". She dishes out a nice second helping with a generous blob of Heinz to the side, then she brings out a sippy cup and pours the remains of his coke in it and fills it up. "Just remember to drink as well, Tain dear."

[BabyWarlock]

Drinks the coke. He seems excited at the Spiderman Sippy Cup. He scoffs the rest of the meal. Even afterwards the caffeine seems to have no effect on him. "Mina...Can I go to bed? Can I have a story and a cuddle?" he asks yawning

[Zinaya]

After making Tain ready for the night, Mina sat down with him in her lap on his bed and offered him her tits as she told him a story:

Tain

[Zinaya]

'Poor little Tain", Mina thought. 'I have to give Sonya a rain check, in case Tain has a nightmare and needs me'. She made a peculiar gesture with one hand as she voiced a few very strange words, three times over. In his sleep, Tain relaxed as happy memories of his childhood filled his dreams.

After giving him the softest of kisses, Mina went downstairs and made a phone call.

"He is ready and the sooner it is done, the greater the kindness."

[BabyWarlock]

There aren't many nice memories))

Diverted from his nightmares his dreams were peaceful, light and innocent. He dreamed of when his Mum was still alive. Pf when his Dad wasn't a lousy drunkard. He lost himself in this innocence. Tain slept soundly. For the first time in a year he didn't have nightmares. A part of his adult side remained though and while the child Tain slept soundly the adult Tain drifted through the world of dreams. For a second Mina thought she saw him, a likeness of Tain, without the gaunt features, or the cute face. "Impossible"

[Zinaya]

Min went upstairs to check on Tain as he was sleeping. He looked so peaceful, almost like that image or spectre that had appeared for a moment. Or more likely, had imagined. Sasha, his toy wolf was lying behind his back as he must have turned onto his side in his sleep. She picked "her" up and "walked" her around Tain so that she was just in front of his face. Playfully, she made the toy wolf rub her nose lightly against Tain's cheek before she "nestled up" against him. Mina smiled as Tain's arm came up to grab hold of Sasha. The she tip-toed downstairs and sat down on the sofa, thinking.

The Headmistress had been quite explicit about it. For the magic to work, Tain would not only have to want it whole-heartedly and ask for it himself. He also would have to believe that it was possible and that it in fact was going to happen - the school motto; "Crede, et erit", believe and it will be! The catheters, plugs, training pants, hypnotic sessions and all that. Only a Potemkin Village to satisfy the curiosity of the Outside. Believe and it will be! For some, it never happened and they left the school remembering only having been troubled and rediscovering themselves. Others were like the Headmistresses daughter who in body saw herself as nothing but a young woman but in mind as a four-year old, congenitally incontinent girl who still loved being nursed, so she was. And now Tain. What did he believe in and was his belief strong enough to overcome the bounds of "reality"? Seeing him and how he unconsciously slipped back, Hermione had hopes that he might want to become the 13-month old that he needed to be for his wounds to heal. But she feared that he wouldn't nor couldn't believe strongly enough. And if the latter, could she and ought she try to influence him towards the former?

[BabyWarlock]

Tain's sub-conscious roiled like an ocean. He stood alone on an island in the sea of his mind. In the waking world these tidal tsunamis of thought were just brainwaves rolling through an organ, but in Tain's dreaming mind, they were as good as real. In his dream he was once again a youth. He sat in one of 3 chairs. On his left sat himself only with piercing blue eyes, his clothes were those of a typical businessman a suit and tie. On the other sat a small boy with raven hair and soft amber eyes. A man in a sweaty T-shirt with a rough ginger beard stood in front of him, he held one of the objects that Tain's nightmares revolved around, a leather belt with a stainless steel clasp. "CHOOSE YOU STUPID BOY!" the man yelled. "Our Father is right choose." said his adult side. "Walk away from this stupidity, you are 14 years old and NOT 2 come to me and forsake this child." Tain turned towards the small boy who was sucking his thumb. The CHild's eyes were innocent devoid of the sins of the 14 year old. "Pwease..." said the child. "Pick me... me don' wanna go." A fourth figure appeared behind him, Tain turned towards the beautiful woman. Her dark hair curled around her arm as she squeezed his shoulder. "Tain, sweetie choose innocence. You need a clean slate, you need to heal." She said. "But I don't want to lose you.." "You won't sweetie I'll always be here." "MAKE YOUR BLOODY MIND UP!" yelled his father. Tain thought, so what if he became a baby again he never liked growing up anyway. But the cold rational side of him told him to turn the other way and be an adult. "NO!" screamed Tain as the belt buckle descended...

"MINA!" he screamed as he woke up, he was cold and just wanted her to protect him and love him. He held Sasha tight and cried. The sting of the belt buckle had been his imagination yet to him it was still real. He wanted to go back to sleep yet was afraid of waht would happen. Even the dummy didn't stop him from wailing.

After he falls asleep again then we can stage the mental conversation if she telepathically "probes" him))

[Zinaya]

'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' Mina berated herself as she heard Tain scream. 'I should have set up the baby monitor so I could have been there! Think, Hermione! Think!' She rushed up the stairs and took Tain in her arms, hugging him, holding him, soothing him.

"There baby, it's only a dream." She stroked his hair as she held him close, his head resting on her bosom.

[BabyWarlock]

After five minutes of rocking Tain fell asleep again. MIna heard a voice behind her . "It seems he has chosen, Hermione. We need to talk. I know about the magic. That's why we've been slightly on edge. Probe us. the two of us will speak in our mind." As she turned around, once again she thought she saw him, although changed this time he had blue eyes and gaunt features and wore a suit.

[Zinaya]

'The Once and Future King' The association came unbidden to her mind. She closed her eyes and in her mind pictured the man in the suit standing next to her and the boy she held in her arms as clearly as she could. As she did, the adolescent boy in her arms seemed to shrink and grow younger, sleeping peacefully. When she had the picture firm in her mind, she turned towards the man and spoke to him inside her mind.

'Can you hear me?'

[BabyWarlock]

"I can." Said the man. "No doubt you know who I am. To him you are a healer. But to heal you must know what ails him. I am willing to show you our past and our father..." He said almost spitting the last word. The man's eyes flashed a brilliant blue and the world around them shifted. It was a living room, Tain's mother lay on the sofa, breathing heavily. Her face was screwed up in pain. A man stood beside her. He looked like the man from the photograph, only with no beard. He held her hand. Another woman stood infront of her. Likely Tain's grandmother. "This is our birth, take it all in."

[Zinaya]

Spellbound, literally, she watched the scene as it unfolded, reminding herself to stay calm and project nothing but love and calm to the boy she was holding in her arms, reserving the horrors of what was to come for herself.

[BabyWarlock]

"This was back when Sean Cadioch Sr. Was a good man." The scene unfolded and the woman screamed with pain. And a baby came out. His grandmother gave him to his mother. "Ainm liom t

[Zinaya]

Once the dream conversation ended, Mina gently lowered Tain back into bed and then quietly removed her pants, shirt and bra before she crept into the bed herself. She arranged herself so that Tain's head was next to her titties, then she gently removed the comforter and guided Tain's mouth to her nipple.

Mina stayed awake, guarding Tain's sleep, stroking his hair, watching him throughout the night. It wasn't until the small hours of the morning until she herself fell asleep, dreaming of the little boy soon to be.

[BabyWarlock]

Tain's dreams were peaceful as the full mental regression took place. He found his stress evaporating as his mind relaxed, sending him back to a time of peace. In any of his dreams that involved bad guys Mina was always there to protect him. Memories of his past life flowed out of his mind in swirls of entropy and one bright, shining figure stood out. The tall woman with lovely red hair and emerald eyes, she became his focus. As the last of the bad memories flowed out he woke about an hour after Mina had fallen asleep. The first word of this reborn Tain was "Mama" and deep in her heart Mina knew he was reffering to her.

[Zinaya]

After giving Tain a late-night feed, the boy or young man had fallen asleep again, emotional exhaustion finally catching up with him as he relaxed. Thus he did not notice that Mina got up and changed her clothes, nor did he notice the others that came back with her. In his dreams - surely something as bizarre as this had to be a dream, right? - Nurse Coddlington was there to remove both catheter and anal plug. In their place, a thick diaper was put on him before Nurse Coddlington left, without saying a word.

Then Tain felt himself being lifted up to be carried by Mina. Somehow, he felt lighter, smaller. But also, it felt so right that she was carrying him that he only opened his eyes a slit to sort of see the others following them in a line down the stairs. His head was resting on her shoulder and Mina would stroke and part his hair, occasionally planting a soft kiss on his head. To Mina, he seemed to be very relaxed, very comfortable and very sleepy as she followed Dr Bagramian down the path that led to the glade beneath ancient acorn, deep in the forest. She knew the path they walked. She knew that it was not only a physical path into the heart of the forest but also a path steeped in magic, one that led her and Tain towards their destiny, inexorably. The last-quarter moon could be seen through the branches and would reach the zenith of its path across the sky, at the exact moment of dawn, when Venus too would shine.

Mather Zinaya was leading them down the path, her torch held aloft for them to silently follow. The deeper they forged, the greater her strength and the power of them all. As they had entered the forest, she had been but a vague presence in Mina's awareness but here, at the heart of the forest, her thoughts were clear as a voice speaking in her head, speaking to them all as they too had the power to do at the heart of the forest.

"Soeur Hermione, you know it is necessary."

"Mather, surely we have the power to withstand him, a mere mortal without the Gift?"

"Ma Soeur, you forget that his power and anger comes from another. There are no walls that can hold Him forever and He will seek to accomplish what at the last moment the flesh of the possessed could not bring himself to do that time. The Sacrifice of Pain is not complete." She let the force of her thoughts settle.

"Only through the power and sacrifice of the mother was this little one spared. She broke his hold over the unfortunate long enough to save Tain, but He will return. He must never find Tain and that is why the Changes are necessary. You know it in your soul, ma Soeur."

Mina bowed her head in unwilling acceptance. Yes, even when transformed, his heterochroma would be recognisable to the possessed one as the flesh of the possessed one. It had to be.

Mather Zinaya stepped up to them and laid her hand on Tains head. "Dream on little one. You are safe with us and will be safe with us. This is only a dream between night and dawn." In her mind she called up the Power to effect the first change. Had Tain been able to look at himself in a mirror, he would have seen his eyes changing in colour, the one to violet blue, the other sapphire blue.

At Mather Zinaya's call, the others gathered round them and placed the heart hand over Mather Zinaya's, resting lightly on Tain's head, the other on Mina's head to lend Mather their strength to forge the bond and effect the Change. Mather Zinaya gathered the Power and as moon reached zenith at the moment of dawn, the spell took hold. The years were rolled back, one by one and Tain shrunk and as he did, his bond to Mina grew stronger, his fears and doubts and memories disappearing, to be locked away safely where they no longer could access him. Then, right at the end, Mather Zinaya spoke directly to the mind of Tain:

"You know why this is necessary, why Tain must become Tanya to hide from Him and His possessed one. I cannot force it. You must accept it, but if you don't, you will always be in danger of being found dear child. Will you remain Tain at peril or Tanya safe?"

[BabyWarlock]

Thanks for posting, I'm going to ignore the gender-bending though))

A course voice sounded in Mather Zinaya's mind as a raven flew into the grove. "Well met Mather. The choice is made. Hermione Edwards shall be his protective Gaia, defending him from hateful Ouranos. What's his is hers that is her right, pray she protects him until the end. His infancy shall last longer for 4 years. When he grows and his power shows teach him the path he must tread." The raven then turned it's icy blue eyes to Mina. "As you promised protect him. Gaia protects her children from the wrath of Ouranos, so too must you defend him from his vengeful father. Go well." With the final word said the raven faded and flew away. A beam of startling blue light snaked out of Tain's chest then dissipated. Tain's features changed his face remained the same as he shrunk but his complexion turned paler and his black hair turned red. The boy awoke slowly. "M..mama!" He cried as he looked around for Mina.

[Zinaya]

"Mama is here, baby! Oh, you're such a pretty little boy, aren't you! Shhh... Mummy is here to take you home". Mina held the little boy to her and swept her cloak over him to protect him from the cold. She kissed his head and soothed him as they began the walk home. Mina's heart was singing, he was such a little darling! 'Raven! I will watch over him and no harm shall befall him!', she projected her thought towards the raven.

[BabyWarlock]

As the raven began to fade, he nodded.

Meanwhile Tain was gurgling happily in his new mother's arms. His eyes were fixed on the stars.

[Zinaya]

When they got home, they had to stay downstairs and use the changing mat to change little Tain's nappy as Tain's room was being changed into a nursery cum playroom. Mina put the mat on the table in the front room and laid Tain on it while Mather Zinaya, once more Dr Bagramian, laid out Tain's bespoke onesie, socks and romper conveniently. As Mina cleaned him with a wet-wipe, Tain's little winkle stiffened.

"Hello there, Mr Winkie! Did we come out just to say hi or de we want to make a little contribution to our conversation?" She grabbed a few tissues in her left hand and held it on Tain's tummy, just in case, as she finished cleaning, taking special care with Mr Winkie and his little sac.

"Oh we like that do we!" She smiled broadly at baby Tain.

[BabyWarlock]

Bespoke onesie))

Tain giggled happily as Mina wiped him. All at once his willy contracted and sprayed a beam of urine up.

Meanwhile In a bar in York Robert Cadioch sat drowning himself in whiskey. Everything had gone. He'd had to sell the house so he could keep drinking. At least he didn't have a boy to discipline now. A thought crossed his mind, he'd find Tain and kill him.
