Jeanne wasn’t exactly what one would call outgoing, but during her high school years and later university she had managed to form a closely-knit circle of friends, ones she adored. However, while they had kept close contact with one another, now living together, they hadn’t had much luck in anything else. Careers to nowhere, dead ends in most things they tried… that they were able to pool enough to live together was almost a miracle, even more so if one considered that they were eight people to keep fed and warm. And as the day came to an end, they slowly gathered again only to be surprised by Jeanne, who had apparently found something in a corner of the apartment. They could have sworn they had scoured the place from top to bottom, but it seemed this had slipped past them. It was some sort of lamp, one that seemed kind of antique, and Jeanne decided to rub it, partially to clean it if it wasn’t enough due to possible dust allergies, and partially to make the joke everyone gathered expected someone to make. What they never thought was that the thing would actually react to it, starting to let out colourful blue and purple smoke. The smoke seemed to contract and expand, taking form at a steady pace until it transformed right before their very eyes, becoming two very sexy women dressed in equally sensual clothing. The two women stretched, looking around and meeting a silent audience.

- Uh… Hi.

The blue one of the two could only massage her temples at the antics of her purple partner, something that seemed to relax the women somewhat.

- Who… -Started Jeanne.

- Who are we? -Said the purple one, as nonchalant as she could sound.

- …yes. -Conceded Cecilia.

- Well, as strange as it sounds, we are this lamp’s genies, and we can make your wishes come true-

- Really?! -Asked an unusually excited Kyoko.

- Yes, although there is important information that we have to tell you first, so that you know exactly what you are getting into, alright?

- Sounds right. -Said Ursula- Please take a seat, and make yourselves comfortable.

- Uh, thank you. -Said the blue one as both genies took seat along with the rest of the group.

What followed was a lengthy explanation about the genies, their nature, how their wishes and their magic worked and what the usual (and only) outcome of them granting any and all wishes. This shocked the women, who clearly expected something different from these beings, but were nonetheless interested. A life that was going nowhere while staying in a cramped apartment, as much as they enjoyed each other, was of little interest for all of them. An idea sprouted in Ursula’s mind, one that was more and more alluring to her the more she thought about. If they asked the genies to use their magic would turn them into statuary, why not take the chance and make it something special? To hell with everything else, spending eternity as a sexy statue didn’t sound half bad; and the genies had said that they allowed the statues on their gallery to move freely from time to time.

- Zisha, Zashea, mind if I take the girls with me for a few minutes, I have something I want to propose.

- Yeah, no worries -said Zisha- you girls move or do we give you some space?

- No, we are the ones doing the moving, you stay here and we’ll be back shortly. Alright?

- Of course. -Answered Zashea as the women got up and walked to other room as asked by Ursula.

The genies then were left on their own, sitting in a couch in silence while they looked around at the room. For eight people it was surprisingly sparsely decorated and small. Perhaps these eight couldn’t afford any more?

- I just realized, Zashea, someone actually listened to our warning.

- Yep they did, an interesting and pleasant change.

- You are so right. – Said Zisha as she stretched her arms and tried to listen what the women were talking.

- No eavesdropping.

- What do you think they are talking about?

- No idea, but that’s up to them. We have clearly explained the risks and the outcome.

- Yeah, for a change. But still, I’m curious. You saw the face of that one?

- I don’t know what she was thinking, but that smile… well, I can think of some things that would put a smile like that in my face.

- I do too.

They smiled and giggled. Each had a personality, but their origins definitely were one and the same, and their ideas, preferences and interests certainly backed it up. As they heard the door open, the eight women marched in with excited and smiling faces, taking back their seats and turning their attention to the genies.

- Have you decided? – asked Zashea.

- Yes, we have. – said Monica- However, we would like to consult with you this idea we have come up with…

- Alrighty then, tell us.

When the women started explaining what they had come up with, both genies were left stunned at the mere idea. Everything they had explained to them had apparently coalesced into this idea that was now being presented to them. The women were excited about it, no, they were downright giddy about it if it went through and they convinced the genies. How could they say no? After agreeing and explaining them they would need some time to set things up, the women gathered around the genies in a circle, as the mist surrounded them and transported them where they would eventually join the genies’ collection of sexy statuary.

The town of Stonemaiden was lively and full of activity, its citizens going back and forth through their day, although the place certainly had this unique nature and personality. From a distance it would seem a normal town, no different from any other. Stone buildings with roofs of wood, streets of dirt that had patches of pavement here and there, the buzzing market and the inn that also played host to other, more intimate activities… However, if the party had to choose the most unique thing of the town, they would definitely go with the population.
The whole population of Stonemaiden consisted of living petrified women, which gave the place the name. It had come as a shock at first, but after two days of staying in it, they had grown accustomed to it, although they had to admit that the constant sight of gorgeous statufied women certainly added charm to an otherwise unimpressive town. After arriving, the information they had gathered came from the only inn in town, a big building called the Stoned Beauty, and the temple of the town, where the priestesses immediately answered any and all questions they had. Making their way back to the inn, Kyoko and Iris opened the door and entered the building. The place was as lively as it had always been for the short time they had spent in town. Plenty of beauties going around, Monica was playing a song and Cecilia drank something while she watched her play. Monica’s tune was cheerful and lively, no doubt using her music magic to help her performance, and currently three couples of statues danced to the rhythm.

- Enjoying the view Cecilia? -Said Iris.

- You could say so…

- I could say so? Please don’t tell me your eyes aren’t glued to those curvy beauties. Look at them, so smooth and so hard. What I wouldn’t do to them…

- Aren’t you a little too…friendly for a holy maiden Iris?

- Nope. In fact, I just came from the temple and they are just as friendly. -Said the busty blonde woman as she pressed her enormous breasts against Cecilia’s back.

- You really enjoy those don’t you?

- Yes, I do. And, by the way, perhaps you and I could later swing by the temple, they are lovely girls and they know how to attract people. -Leaving into the brunette guardian’s ear, the cleric whispered- Perhaps they can help you loosen up.

This brought a very visible blush to the guardian’s face, the woman finally shaking the cleric off her and returning to her drink while she kept shooting stray gazes at the dancers and their musician friend. Meanwhile, Kyoko had caught the attention of the nearby barmaid, a gorgeous marble woman with a curvy body and a big bust that had her hair tied in a delicate bun when she petrified.

- How can I help you miss?

- Can I get something to drink?

- Of course, it all depends on what do you want. I might be able to provide, but if you want something more delicate, I might have to call for help.

- Nah, I’ll go ahead with you.

- Lovely. Excellent choice. -Said the marble woman smiling brightly. She then fetched a mug, putting it before her and proceeding to caress her big breasts, a stream of clear liquid emanating from her rock-hard nipple. Kyoko couldn’t help but slightly caress her own breasts as well, earning a giggle from the barmaid, who quickly finished serving her drink.

- There, courtesy of mine.

- Thanks.

- I’ve got to ask, why are you and your friends here? Is it because of the trials of the goddess?

- Yeah.

- Oh, fantastic! When you are done, pass by, and I might have a position for you.

The marble woman then wandered off, joining an equally sexy wood vixen in the dance floor while Kyoko joined her two friends as spectators to Monica’s concert. It really was something to behold, all these petrified women dancing and living just as before, never caring of their new condition. They were joined by Jeanne, the swordswoman having been wandering the town and returning to the inn, being served by a busty wooden woman a drink of her own. Ursula came down the stairs, the mage having one clinging beauty on each arm. On her right was one of the golden priestesses that worked at the temple, while on her left was one of the silver women that acted as town guards. After one quick kiss to each she sent them on their way, the mage joining her friends at the counter and being served a drink of her own.

- Ah -she sighed- I love this place and its people to bits.

- Two new girlfriends? -Asked Cecilia.

- And new information about the trials too.

- You know that if you asked on the temple, they would have told you right away, no? -Chimed in Iris- And they can be so very talkative…

- Oh, I know blondie. The gold one certainly got to know you yesterday at the temple, so that makes two of us.

Iris blushed visibly, but the blonde woman did not deny it, making the purple haired mage smile brightly. The music and dance kept on going, and, eventually the last two of their group returned. Diana and Miriam were the archers and rangers of the group, the twin sisters knowing their way with projectiles and tracking, being quite the acrobats themselves too.

- We are all here, lovely.

- Sorry for the wait, we come from the temple. We asked them if they would scout the area of the trials…

- But they said no. – Finished Diana for her sister.

- That much was obvious, they aren’t going to make it easier. – Said Cecilia- Now if we could get a table…

Right on cue one barmaid attended them and guided them to a table where they would all fit, leaving one seat for Monica when she was finished with the performance. The woman kept going and going, the music keeping the tempo but signalling that the finale was near. When it finally arrived and she finished, the inn exploded in applause, the woman bowing to her audience and dancers as she joined her friends. The women toasted to them and drank, taking a good look at each other. They were tall, busty and curvy, completely different to those who were not so long ago. Cecilia, the brunette guardian with wavy long hair, fair skin and dark eyes; Jeanne, the shorter swordswoman with fair skin and green eyes whose long dark blond hair was tied in a braid; Diana and Miriam, brunette twins with hazel and green eyes that beside from that and Diana’s longer hair one could not tell them apart; Purple haired and eyed Ursula, whose wavy hair had attracted many in the town; Monica, fair skinned with shoulder length brown hair, musician with quite the following since she arrived; Iris, fair skinned and blue eyes cleric with a long wavy golden blonde hair that fell behind her like a cascade; and finally Kyoko, the dark haired and somewhat introvert ninja whose long, smooth dark hair was tied in a long ponytail. Part of their wish with the genies, and they had definitely delivered.

- Final time, alright girls?

- Lead off Ceci. -Said Monica.

- So, from what we have gathered, there are three trials we have to go through. The first is a labyrinth that, when the day ends, is engulfed by mist. Anyone in there when it happens turns to stone.

- Next? -Asked Jeanne.

- The lair of the golems. Second labyrinth with the added difficulty that golems will chase you. If they catch you, they will turn you into one of their own.

- Tempting -said Ursula- but go on.

- Third and final trial, the golden sun. Same pattern as before, a labyrinth with golems that will give chase. If they get a hold of you, they will turn you into one of their own. However, the added difficulty is that if the light coming from the lamps directly illuminates you, you turn into a statue on the spot. They illuminate the whole area partially, so if you take too long you will turn into a statue anyway.

- So, with the first light of dawn to have most time available?

- Yep. We should head off now to be fresh in the morning.

As Monica looked outside the window the group noticed the darkness taking over and the illumination going live. They had noticed that the streets were lit with streetlights, this consisting of a statue that stepped on a pedestal and held high above her head an orb of light that lit the surrounding area. The next shift took over, as women climbed the pedestals and took the orb from the hands of their peers, sharing pedestal briefly before the previously acting woman came down and left. Giving each other goodnight, they left for their rooms, looking forward to tomorrow.

&&

The group was in the temple almost by first light of dawn, the priestesses receiving them with open arms. The priestesses, a group of golden women explained them what they had gone over the night before, explaining the trials and the process. They noticed some of the silver women that acted as guards, which asked them for their weapons and armour.

- You won’t be needing them anymore, and if you do want them you can ask for them when you come back.

Agreeing to the rules, the group found itself buck naked, as the priestesses guided them inside the temple, where a slab opened to reveal some stairs that went down towards the first trial.

- If you really wish to go through, these stairs will take you to the first trial. May the goddesses bring you health and beauty eternal.

As the group descended, the slab closed besides them, the women continuing their quest in silence. The path was lit by small lanterns that showed the way, and soon enough they were met with the first labyrinth.

- Alright girls, let’s do this.

Following Cecilia’s lead the group entered the trap. It was made of simple grey stone, the hallways and walls being completely smooth and lacking any decorations that might serve as a clue. It took them a while of wandering, but eventually they reached the end of it, although they were unable to tell how much time had gone by.

The entry to the second labyrinth was were things got interesting. The entrance was guarded by two stone vixens, one of marble and the other of obsidian, stuck in sexy poses.

- Oh, I approve, I most definitely approve.

- Not now Ursula.

- I know, I know. – Sighed the mage.

- Cecilia, we’ll go ahead and scout.

- If you are sure about this Miriam… but play it safe. We’ll go at a slower pace.

- Sure thing, besides, we have an idea to free us from the golems.

- Just be careful.

Both rangers darted forward, moving with almost feline agility and grace. They ran through the halls with surprising ease, navigating the labyrinth and searching their current goal. The moment they came across one of them she turned towards them, smiling and extending her arms in a welcoming gesture. Not a chance, as both women bolted once more, this time the golem in tow, the stone woman not allowing them to escape. However, in her pursuit, the stone woman fell right in the trap of the twins, the moment she turned a corner colliding with another stone woman.
As the sisters celebrated, the two stone women looked at each other, and instead of chasing their would-be targets started kissing and caressing instead, being much more interested in their new petrified lover than chasing the sisters. And both sisters could relate, since each of them was a gorgeous statue of a woman, if they didn’t have to surpass the trials, they wouldn’t have minded at all joining them.
This same manoeuvre was pulled off by the sisters three more times, each with more or less risk at play, but the two of them emerged victorious against the golems, leaving each petrified lady with a very affective love partner, one that would keep her busy for a while. After that, navigating through the place was little more than a stroll for the group, although they took good care on not disturbing the busy golems, taking detours if it was necessary. Anything to avoid interrupting such lovely ladies and becoming the target of their affection.

As the group kept moving, unaware of how long had they been on the path. Had it been minutes? Hours? It could have been a whole day, but it mattered little, as the lit path came to an end at the entrance of the third and final trial. This time the whole labyrinth was made of glittering gold, on top of it being the lamps that emitted the light they had to avoid. At the entrance, two golden women stood on each side of it. Each of them was what they had come to expect, a tall, busty and curvy woman frozen in a sexy pose. Were not going to the end of the trials some wouldn’t have minded climbing up and posing net to them, patiently waiting until they became their golden lovers. However, they were going to see the plan through, wanting to come out victorious of this last trial. The moment they entered the labyrinth they felt the magic at work, as their skin tingled and started building their arousal. Advancing at a steady but safe pace, they met their first problem not long after. She glistened under the light, a golden vixen that blended all too well with the environment. They wouldn’t have noticed her had it not been for the shadow she projected, and couldn’t use the same tactic as with the stone women, not unless they wanted to step up the transformation everyone was undergoing. Perhaps try a different route? They did, but the result was the same, there was a sexy golden guard watching over the area, impeding them the passage, and this one was in the shadows, which meant that she would have the advantage if she saw them. Another route, another golden woman in a strategically placed shadow. A third, fourth and fifth route and all met the same end. They had even seen the exit from the labyrinth and had laid out a route to get out, using an elevated point they had found that was safe from the light. They were back at the first golden woman again, and their time was starting to run out. This was made manifest that all of them were golden from head to toe. They still had time before they transformed completely, but their skins had turned golden as had done their hairs, and their skins had started taking a smooth metallic texture, currently being a mixture of both gold and flesh.

- Dammit. Any ideas before we turn into part of the labyrinth?

- Mmm. There is one thing I want to try… -said Ursula.

They didn’t know what to expect, but the golden mage gave quite the passionate caress to the smooth golden butt cheeks of Kyoko and Iris. The ninja let out a loud eek while the Cleric let out a moan of approval, turning around to kiss the mage and return the caress. If they kept up, they would turn into gold by their own actions, and Cecilia was having none of it, not so close to the finish line. It was then when an idea came up. They had done quite the ruckus, but the golden woman hadn’t moved an inch, she didn’t seem to have even acknowledged they were there. Could it be?

- Alright, I’m going to try something, be ready.

Before any of the other women could ask what she was planning, the guardian ran into the light and towards the golden woman, taking refuge in her shadow and mimicking her pose to complete conceal herself from the light. To the astonishment of all, she kept moving, making another run and reaching the other end of the courtyard. From there she signalled them to do as she did, the women taking turns to do so. One by one, the women crossed the area, joining her at the other end and making haste towards the exit, not wanting to push their luck. The moment they came out they started to feel the magic disappear, their bodies reverting back to normal at a steady pace.

- How did you know Ceci?

- When Ursula did her thing, it dawned on me. That one was a fake, a decoration. Clever trap I got to admit.

- Well, of course -said Ursula with feigned anger- what do you think? That I’m nothing more but two tits and a sexy figure?

The silence that took over made the mage harrumph, before the blonde cleric started teasing her with their golden bodies that finished reverting back to normal. Moving forward, the women eventually came across a great double gate. They recognized the figures on each door, one genie on each, and despite their size the doors swung open easily. Inside awaited their prize and their host.

The genies had shapeshifted and now were two massive women, one of them seemed to be made of glistening liquid metal mixing different colours on her while there other mimicked her but with stone, being one giant statue. They sat behind a platform among their treasure, as the gold and riches flowed around forming sensual female figures only to disappear shortly. While acting as goddesses they literally sat on top of a mountain of riches, which would have meant the group had hit the motherload at any other time.

- Welcome. Congratulations on succeeding in the trials, please come forth to become your prize when you have chosen a pose.

As they waved with their arms at the massive treasure they hoarded, the godesses lied back down on their treasure, watching the woman browse and look around, perhaps there was something that caught their attention. However, all of them slowly made their way towards the godesses, except for Ursula, who was eyeing a strange ring that had three gems on it. The moment she put it on, she felt the magic at work. Her essence multiplied, as two other identical Ursula’s formed next to her. Facing each other, the mages pressed their breasts together while they smiled sultrily at one another.

- Lovely, so very lovely.

The first to reach the genies was Jeanne, the swordswoman standing on a platform and striking a pose. She bent her arms behind her head, getting a hold of her long braid while she perked her big breasts up. At the godesses' will, the platform lit up, the magic enveloping her and transforming her. All of the swordswoman became shiny silver, the woman frozen in a pose for some seconds before she moved again, collapsing to her knees while she hugged her new silvery body.
As she stepped down, Cecilia took her place, the brunette putting a hand on her neck while she rested the other on her hip, waiting for the magic to transform her for good this time. Much like had happened to Jeanne, the platform lit up and the brunette was turned into a gold statue, although she was a darker shade of gold than she had been before. Not that she minded though, caressing her body the moment she came alive and left the platform.
Third came Monica. The musician struck a simple pose, folding her arms under her chest and holding her breasts up. Simple but elegant, and the godesses seemed to approve, as the woman was petrified on the spot. Monica turned into glossy and pristine white marble. Mimicking the situation her friends had gone through before coming down with a smile on her face, joining the rest of the group.
Diana and Miriam followed, both of them going up and posing together. They pressed their bodies together, and posed their arms in a way that seemed that they were about to release an arrow between the two of them, although they decided to kiss at the last second. The magic came on once more, turning the twins into a set of copper statues, the two of them glistening under the light in the pose they had chosen before becoming mobile again and leaving the platform for the next, who turned out to be Kyouko.
The kunoichi went for a classical pose, putting one hand behind her head while she slid the other under her breasts to elevate them up. It wasn’t as elaborated as the twins or as elegant as Monica’s, but it was the one she had chosen and the one she would stick with. The platform activated once more, petrifying the woman into a rich green jade statue. She held the pose until she became mobile again, quickly getting off the platform and joining the rest of the group, Monica and Cecilia taking her in their care.
Next to stand on the platform was none other than Iris. The blonde bended her body so that her curves became as apparent as they could, all the while flaunting her enormous breasts and bubbly butt cheeks. She ran her left hand through her golden mane while she used the right one to put some weight on it, ready to transform. As the platform activated, the woman was rendered into shiny gold, the new golden vixen sparkling with a light of her own on the platform. When she came back the first thing she did was caress her enormous golden globes of her chest, getting off the platform and joining the rest of the group.
Last was Ursula, or rather, the Ursulas. The three women stepped up as one, and facing each other while they pressed their enormous breasts against the others. It was almost too much, but they used one arm to help them hold their immense orbs up while they teased and caressed with their free hand. When the platform activated, the three of them were turned into gemstones. One had turned into ruby, other into sapphire and the last into emerald, now becoming a single set of statues. When they became mobile again, they immediately hugged themselves and their lovers, kissing and caressing.

- Now you will have one night of passion. -Spoke the genies- When you wake up next time you will be in the gallery, so make the best out of it.

- Can… can I ask for something? – Said Kyouko.

- Go ahead.

- Please keep this town. I don’t know how you can do it but…

- Oh, we plan on doing so, don’t worry. Who knows, perhaps you’ll be among the guides if someone else wishes for something like this.

With their blessing, the new living statues returned to the town using a passage that linked the chamber directly with the temple. When they arrived, at sundown, they were received with open arms, and they were taken back to the inn, where they experienced the pleasure their new forms could give them completely. Lovers came and went, they kissed, caressed, fondled and pleasured without measure or restraint; both each other and the townspeople that were either eager to do so or came too close to them. As the time went on and the lovemaking got more and more intense, exhaustion eventually claimed them, sleep taking them under their wing as their wish was complete and they were taken to the gallery, were they assumed their chosen poses regardless if they were conscious or not. The genies too went for a good night sleep, making sure that Stonemaiden and her inhabitants were safe and sound as they slowly drifted to sleep among their four lovers and assistants.
