You never worried about your apprentice surpassing you. She was beautiful, but she certainly wasn't smart. She was always mixing up your ingredients for the spells and messing up any errands you sent her on. But that was fine by you, she wasn't going to usurp you as was usual amongst wizards and their apprentices, and she was certainly easy on the eye.
You weren't surprised when you came in this morning to find she wasn't there. She often slept in or ended up wandering to the wrong castle. You were about to start your day of experimenting with new spells when you started to feel the ground shake, and again. Something big was coming.
You ran up the ramparts to the top of the castle and looked out expecting to see a dragon. Instead, the enormous form of your assistant emerged from behind your tower. She was humongous! As usual she was trying to show off her body with her skimpy attire. Her stripping off was normally distracting, but now at 100 times her usual size it was impossible to look away.
"Ah, there you are." she thundered.
"What have you done you idiot?!" you shouted across to her.
"I think that's enough of the idiot talk thank you." she scolded you.
"You think because you're bigger than me you're in charge? Need I remind you young lady that I am the master here." you scolded her back.
You were the smarter one and weren't going to allow yourself to be bossed round by some idiot. You didn't know how she'd gotten so big but you knew a quick restoration spell should undo things. You quickly performed the incantation and threw the restoration aura towards her. It fizzled into nothing before reaching her. She had some sort of barrier surrounding her.
"Orkham's barrier by the way." she pointed out to you.
That was one of the highest level protection spells, you were surprised she could even pronounce it, let alone understand it.
"How on Earth did you get that cast on you? Break it now so I can restore you."
"I cast it myself."
"Impossible, you're an idiot!"
"Oh am I?" she asked with a wry smile. You didn't like where this was going as she continued, "Maybe I just pretended to be an idiot so that you'd give me the run of your castle without considering me a threat?"
You gulped, now realising how you'd been tricked. She'd used her looks and body as a distraction from making you realise what she was really like. Realising how dangerous she could be you started preparing several attack spells behind your back.
"I found this growth spell in a natty old book in the crypts, remember when you sent me to clean them?"
She'd disappeared into the crypts for weeks, you assumed she'd gotten lost but now you realised she must have spent the whole time down there learning.
You flung a projectile at her face hoping it would be enough to distract her but the barrier was so strong it didn't even reach her.
"If you'd bothered to read those old tomes you'd have realised that being big gives you bigger magical potential."
You'd heard that somewhere before so knew it was true. You looked her up and down and realised that at her size her magic was so strong you could do nothing to stop her.
"I'd originally planned to grow just to get the magical advantage in this confrontation with you. But now that I'm big I realise something."
She moaned before continuing, "I like being big - the pure power, the fear you inspire in the little people and the thrill of being the centre of attention for miles around. I want more."
You knew what was coming. No doubt the growth spell needed a lot of magical energy, she surely didn't have that to hand with the barrier she was creating so she'd need to get it elsewhere - you.
She started to advance towards you and the castle.
"You know, I read somewhere that the most efficient way to absorb magic from another being is to swallow it whole." she told you while licking her lips.
You realised that she'd certainly surpassed you now.
Meta: As soon as I saw a photo of Bunnada Watthanachotkitti I knew she'd make a great giantess. This one of her licking her lips is perfect. I actually used this scene in another collage but the shot of the model I used was too low-res to match up so in the end I swapped it out for this shot of Bunnada and it seems to have blended really well.
