I was the new Boatswain of the ship, and I knew I would have to bear the traditional hazing. The lads dressed me as a wench and presented me to the Captain as the bride he had sent for from England. He didn't like my rough looks, and gave me a chalice with a strange brew, which I drank down to keep the ruse going..
I felt my body transform, shrinking, losing my muscles, growing curvy! The Captain picked me up and tossed me on the bed, saying, "You weren’t much of a woman to look at, but the old sea hag’s witchcraft rounded you out nicely Mary! You’ll be a fine bride now!"
"But Captain!" My voice sounding strange, high and sweet. "I’m John Goodly the Boatswain! The men dressed me up like a wench to prank you!"
"HA! Well ,the prank is on you, my pretty boatswain! The men knew I would use the old magic on my bride, and that’s all you are now! I’m not wasting the Sea Hag’s magic, lassie! No, you’re the Captain’s Woman from now on. You will bear my sons and know you’ll never be a man again!"
"Yes, Captain…"
He was kind of pretty for a boy, so they created hazing fore him, thou he looked like a girl now , she is one, she is now the captains wife, and she will bear his children .
