With the first light of day on the horizon, I found a quiet clearing and came to a stop, bracing myself for the shifting sensation I was about to experience. Kuzunoha's enchanted mechanism was finally ready—a direct link between my original form and this newfound Valtherion physique.
I closed my eyes, feeling a warmth spread through me as the spell began to unravel my current form. There was a rushing sensation, as if I were slipping through layers of existence, each peeling back to reveal my truest, golden self beneath. My muscles shifted, receding from their impressive, hulking size, while my silhouette refined itself back to a lithe, graceful build.
And finally, with one last breath, I felt the familiar lightness of my natural form.
