Chapter 25 - Chilling out

Horror watched with surprisingly little care as he nibbles of the remains of the magical fruit.

The little bony gremlins attempt to flee or attack, but are quickly put back in their place by the Enslavement Seal. The saplings call for Urraina to get some food as they had nothing to feed their now-hungry caretakers as they couldn't grow fruit.

Urraina, just returning home, recieved a call from her watch that was labeled with "Tree responsibility", and immediately ran into the kitchen to make some food, forgetting one vital thing in her house that is currently trying to adjust to its new body...

Blue, a bit wobbly from getting used to all this extra weight called flesh and chitin, was slowly but steadily walking towards a door in the room. Not knowing what part of the house he was in, the skeleton-turned-beetle mammal tried to survey his surroundings.

Realizing that there were no windows, Blue confirmed that he was either in the attic, the basement, or the bathroom. From all the heavy-looking equipment inside with him, it was probably the basement.

So, Blue tried to look for a door with stairs leading upwards in the room, only finding a reinforced door with no light shining under it.

Thinking that behind the door was something that could get him out of the 'basement', only to find a bright living room. Turns out, the room he was in was only a poorly-illuminated guest room remodeled for technological uses.

Marveling all the advanced technology in the living room, he wanders his way into the kitchen where Urraina was making some quesadillas and blueberry cinnamon pancakes.

Blue slowly walked across the kitchen, as to not disturb the reptile. Attempting to grab a knife, he accidentally dropped it due to his stiff fingers and the chitin. A clatter was enough to alert Urraina.

"Wha- who's the- oh shit I forgot about you!"

Urraina cautiously arms herself with the stamp thing that Yggardael gave to her, planning on using it on her new creation's nape.

Blue picked up the knife again and prepared his wings to fly around the kitchen, but only succeeded in shaking them since he didn't have a day's worth of experience in his new body.

"So, this is how you wanna play, little gift?"

Urraina taunted as she knew the gift part was correct.
