Chapter 25: Blakely's Welcome Back.

Blakely opened her eyes slowly, the morning light filtering through her bedroom window casting a soft glow across her room. She blinked a few times, adjusting to the brightness, and stretched her arms above her head, savoring the sensation of being in her own body again. For the past several days, she had been stuck as a giant green and white panda in Morphantasia, and waking up in her bed felt like a dream come true.

She turned her head to the side and saw her favorite panda plushie nestled beside her. With a smile, she pulled it close, hugging it tightly. "Good morning, Mr. Rambutan," she whispered, her voice filled with warmth.

As she lay there, enjoying the peace and quiet, the door to her bedroom creaked open. Maven and Iris peeked their heads in, their faces lighting up when they saw her awake.

"Blakely! You're awake!" Maven exclaimed, rushing into the room.
