The Epilogue

A long time ago, there was a fennec.

He was short and slender, he was always the tiniest, often picked on by biggest anthros.

He secretly imagined himself fat, he wished to be the biggest, the heaviest, the most outrageous slob. He imagined himself waddling down slowly, proudly heaving his girth, feeling looks on his back while being inconvenient for everyone around him by his sheer size, pushing people off the street or pressing unfortunate one against the wall.

As much of a strange dream that was, he found someone willing to help. Someone inconspicuous, yet someone who managed to slowly push him forward, kept his stomach full, someone who whispered to his ear encouraging sluggish behavior and indulgence.

And he was eating. And eating, and eating. And he grew and grew and grew. Some laughed at him about how fat he had become, but then they got some "kobold treatment"themselves.

The fennec grew enormously large. He was happy and pleased with his size increasing. And although some looked at him with shock, there were few he blushed at his sight.

One day, completely piled down by his own weight, almost naked and fondled by a lovely companion, he fall asleep with a happy smile.

He woke up in a strange, dark and warm cave. He saw some runes of the wall. 

Was it a dream? He blinked and tried to move, but wasn't able, some soft, warm, squishy and massive was covering him and making him exhausted by its big mass.

He soon saw a familiar smiling maw. The kobold was wearing a crown and strange stuff. And there were more of them, a lot more, carrying delicious treats.

He tried to understand the words the kobold was saying, but fennec was numbed. He only understood, how inspired and happy he made all the tribe. They all have been the smallest and weakest, forced to use their wits to deal with big dangerous world. So when they met a small canine, who only dreamed to be big and heavy, they understood what he felt and happily agreed to help him.

He felt a gentle, friendly pat. There was a lot of space to grow in here, under a city. And in no time, even this cave won't be able to hold him and then everyone will see him. 

It was time to dream big. Very big.

Fennec gulped. He knew what was coming. And as soon as he gasped for air, it started...
