"You know Pit, I think I'm gaining a new appreciation for food these days." Palutena said as she slipped her fork into her mouth, giggling happily as the sugary pastry slid down her throat.

"I think anybody would after eating that much." Pit said, and Palutena glared at him. He wasn't wrong though, Palutena had really been eating a lot recently. He suspected that she had been cursed during her last meeting with Viridi, but Palutena insisted that she wouldn't be affected by a small-time curse like that. As a result of her stubbornness, she had spent most of the last few weeks snacking, and the usually svelte goddess was looking a little portly these days.

"Still, don't you think you should slow down a little." He cautiously said, trying his best to mitigate the damage.

"It's not a problem, I can stop whenever I want." Palutena said with a mouthful of food. "You don't think your beautiful goddess doesn't have a little self-control?"

Pit cast his gaze downwards at Palutena's bulging pot belly and chubby thighs, then kept his opinion to himself.

"It's just, uh, the kitchens say they're getting a little overworked." Pit tried to sneak in while Palutena sneaked in another pastry with the subtlety of a bull in a china shop.

"That's their problem, not mine." Palutena said selfishly. "I indulge myself a little for the first time in decades, and they get tuckered out by a little feasting? Some excuse for immortals they are."

"There's been complaints that we're, uh, kinda running out of food." The put-upon Pit said sheepishly. Palutena however seemed unperturbed.

"Don't worry, Pit. I know where I can get plenty more food, and where the cooks won't complain."

Pit soared down from on high, thankful that he had been able to petition Viridi for the power of flight in Palutena's absence. She had gone down to the mortal realm and hadn't come back for several months, forcing him to approach the goddess of nature. Surprisingly he hadn't had to beg her at all, Viridi merely smugly granting her his power and asking him to say hello to "Piggy Palutena" for her.

"Oh boy. I should've seen this coming." Pit gaped at the crowd around the temple where Palutena had been staying. It was practically a circus out there, with wagonloads of produce and meat being wheeled in as an army of priests and priestesses turned into inpromptu feast organisers. Some of the women were looking rather chubby, suggesting that not all of the food made it to Palutena's table. He decided to bypass them entirely, swooping down directly into the temple where Palutena was sitting on a throne before a gigantic table covered in food.

"Oh, hello Pit!" Palutena said without even pausing to stop chewing, gulping down and cheerfully waving to him. "Care to have any?"

"No thanks, Lady Palutena. I, uh, ate before I came." Pit politely declined, gaping at what Palutena had become. She had been pretty chubby the last time he saw her, but several months of what seemed to be non-stop gorging had done a number on her figure. Palutena was obviously fat, her hips spilling out of her respectably wide throne, propped up by a fat ass thicker than the pillows she sometimes lounged on back home. Her belly was her biggest feature, a large round gut that hung out several feet in front of her, either from fat or from being stuffed with more food than most would believe physically possible. It was half-heartedly contained by her loosened belt, but it didn't seem like it would last much longer. Her breasts had grown only modestly, but were threatening to pop out of her soon to be inadequate robe, kept meticulously clean by her divine power.

"So, what brings you to my humble temple, young Pit?" Palutena asked, her eyes less on him and more on her meal. He noticed that she had abandoned all of her jewelry on her arms, having become too fat for her to wrap them around her previously slender and graceful arms, now bulky and slow. While her arms were now thicker than her head, her thighs were several times that, a split running up her one stocking. Had Palutena been too lazy to take it off, or had she been eating so non-stop that she hadn't even noticed?

"I'm just checking in." He responded nervously.

"Well, as you can see I'm quite fine here." She said dismissively. "You can scoot on back to Skyworld whenever you please."

"Lady Palutena, you don't think you're taking a bit much from the humans?" Pit asked as he watched burly men march into the temple, carrying offering upon offering to the hungry goddess.

"Keep them coming! The Goddess Palutena demands more offerings!" One of the muscular men called as a rallying cry. The others cheered and went back for more, while exhausted cooks were rotated out to make sure that their goddess didn't go hungry for even a second.

"Oh, don't worry your little head about that, I've given them plenty of blessings for their troubles." Palutena dismissively waved her hand, an enormous chunk of meat held on a bone between her chubby fingers. "They're about to have the biggest harvest they've ever seen, they'll barely notice an offering or two to me at that point."

"Well, you see, you haven't come back to Skyworld in a while." Pit said, rubbing the back of his head nervously.

"Of course I haven't." Palutena said matter-of-factly, tearing off a hunk of meat with her teeth. Knives and forks were more optional than compulsory at Palutena's table. "The food down here is so much better than the chefs back in Skyworld. It's simply divine! Just not, you know, divine."

"Lady Palutena, I think you should try to calm down a little on the feasting." Pit advised, although knowing that there was little he could do to convince Palutena. Still, he had to try. "Maybe come back up to Skyworld for a bit?"

"And miss out on the desserts I'm expecting tomorrow? Not likely." Palutena snorted, her mannerisms becoming ungraceful and piggish. It was rather unbecoming of a goddess as beautiful as her, not that she seemed to care. Her arms had become flabby and bulged obscenely, used only to shovel more food into her waiting mouth, her chin surrounded by a layer of gentle fat. Her slim, delicate features were now broad and soft, emphasising her descent into indulgence.

"It's just that you aren't really doing your job..." Pit tried, Palutena barely listening at this point. He was seriously concerned that something might happen if she didn't come back soon. Gods that didn't perform their duties were often stripped of them, or reassigned. Palutena might have been the greatest goddess in Skyworld, but even she might not be immune to this.

"That place won't fall apart if I'm not there for a while. Lighten up, Pit!" Palutena said, her face lighting up as another round of cakes was added to her table. Palutena sighed happily as she loosened her belt, pulling it off entirely and letting her belly flop onto the table in front of her as the bejewelled belt was abandoned on the floor.

"Just keep it in mind, okay?" He said, reluctantly departing. Viridi was going to have a field day when she heard about this.

--

"Come on, faster!" Pit yelled, demanding more speed from his wings as he rushed towards Palutena's temple. He had received a call for help from her, and he feared the worst. He hadn't heard from her in months, and now she was in full distress mode, sounding mortified over their divine link but refusing to elaborate. He touched down with a crash, causing a gaggle of fat priestesses to shriek and fall onto their padded behinds. He didn't even stop to help the obese followers back to their feet as he rushed into the temple, gasping at the sorry sight waiting for him at the end of the table.

It was Palutena, miserably stuffed into her seat and stuffing her face. But at the same time it wasn't her, at least not the Palutena he knew. She had undergone an embarrassing transformation, her face warped and her body altered.

"Pit! Finally!" Palutena yelped, rushing up to him and slamming her fat hands onto his shoulders, nearly sending him down to the floor from the impact. Her hands had been reduced to three fingers, fat digits with long black nails. Palutena's pretty yet horrified face was marred by a pig-like snout, and he was pretty sure he got a brief glance at a curly tail sticking out of the back of her pillowy rump. Her ears had become pointed and large, clearly a pig's, and Palutena uncontrollably snorted and oinked thanks to her new pig's nose. Her face was completely swallowed by fat, her bulging chin split into a second and third chin that squashed and wobbled when  she moved.

Palutena had become part woman, part pig, a cruel fate presumably brought upon by her piggish behaviour. Food dripped from her robe without leaving any stains, showing that she still had her divine power under control. What she didn't have under control was her body, on the other hand. Her gut hung out of her robe, having totally abandoned a belt. It was large and round, her breasts rather small by comparison, her frame dominated by her belly and hips instead. Her ass wobbled with each step, Palutena almost as wide as if Pit laid down sideways. Her shoes had torn and she had cloven feet, clopping loudly with each step.

"What's happened to me?" She oinked, her pointed, floppy ears wagging cutely. "I've turned into this... thing! And I can't stop eating! What kind of horrible curse is this!?"

"Now you notice?" Pit said without thinking, and Palutena gave him a dirty look.

"I can explain!" Pit hurriedly said. He calmly sized her up, rubbing his chin as she sulked.

"This must be a side-effect of your reassignment." He declared, Palutena looking shocked.

"Reassignment?" She asked dumbly.

"You didn't hear?" Pit exclaimed. "Because you haven't been performing your duties as goddess, you were reassigned as the Goddess of Harvest based on your actions on the mortal plane!"

"Harvest? I didn't hear anything about this! Who decided this without even warning me?" Palutena raged, her ears wagging furiously as she involuntarily snorted once more.

"Well, you had a warning period," Pit explained, backing up out of Palutena's swinging range for safety. "but you weren't in Skyworld, so..."

Palutena looked like she was ready to scream, then a look of total despair ran across her face and she slumped onto her big ass, head in her hands as she made piggish noises.

"D-don't worry about it, lady Palutena! I'm sure you'll make a great harvest goddess! If it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure you're also a goddess of gluttony now!" Pit tried to reassure him, causing him to discover that Palutena had rather fang-like teeth now.

"Well, uh, I just remembered I have something to do." Pit said, backing away defensively as she gnashed her teeth at him. "Viridi said she was coming to visit you soon, I just thought I'd let you know!"

"Viridi? I refuse to see her like this!" Palutena sulked, covering herself defensively with her flabby arms.

"Well, uh, you might have to get used to it." Pit said, floating away just to be extra safe. "I think as a harvest goddess you fall under her jurisdiction now."

"What?" Palutena screeched.

"I mean that I think she's your boss now-"

Pit fled from the barrage of food thrown at him as Palutena, new goddess of harvest, retreated into her comfort food...
