Melody sat in a chair, holding on to the little Chad-rabbit and petting him with a tentacle. Once he returned from Selena and Blizzie’s house, he’d really seemed to calm down. They must have taken good care of him. He was lucky they felt obligated to, and that she and Millicent felt obligated to fix him. They’d heard all about the way he acted towards Madeline. If he kept that up after this, he’d be sure to have a less pleasant curse coming his way.
Millicent stood over by the cauldron, stirring together more and more herbs and materials. She wasn’t sure what all went into a de-bunnification potion, but it had taken them forever to gather up all the materials, and Millicent had been stirring for over an hour. Curse removal was never easy.
Eventually the green liquid inside turned purple, and a glass vial full of purple liquid shot out.
“Alright, Chad,” Millicent said, inspecting the vial. “I think we have your cure.”
She cupped her hand and poured a bit of the liquid inside. Melody held Chad up to Millicent’s hand. Gingerly, he sucked some of the potion up.
There was a massive explosion of purple gas that sent both Melody and Millicent flying back. Melody tumbled over a stack of books, Millicent rocketed into the air and smacked against her chair. Curse removal was very hard.
But when the smoke cleared, it looked to be a success. Chad stood, human as ever, in the clothes he’d worn the day he came. He looked himself up and down and smiled.
“I’m back!” He shouted in excitement.
“Yep.” Melody said, woozy from her fall and trying to get her bearings.
“Now go,” mumbled Millicent, sitting in her chair, rubbing her sore head.
“Hey, you know what? I ought to thank you. I wasn’t sure you would bother fixing me after the way I acted. And honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I expected.” He smiled.
“I’m glad you had that revelation,” said Melody, picking herself off the floor.
“Now leave.” Millicent reiterated.
“Hey, one thing before I go?” He clapped his hands together.
Millicent shot him a look of wide-eyed fury. “What?”
“Well, I didn’t completely hate being a rabbit.”
“I swear if you ask me to turn you back into a rabbit after we did all this to cure you then I will make you very much regret that request.” Millicent pinched between her brow.
“No, no, you don’t gotta turn me back.” Chad pointed to his head. “But could you just do the ears?”
Melody stood up behind Chad, while Millicent walked over to Chad and bopped him on the head with her wand. Two large, floppy rabbit ears sprouted from his head.
“Mel?” Millicent requested.
Melody’s long tentacles ensnared Chad, wrapping completely around him. She made sure one covered his mouth. Then, she lifted him over her head and carried him out the door.
Melody crawled outside and set Chad down on his feet. Then she crawled back in. Millicent walked up behind her.
The two of them gave a little wave, and Melody slammed the door.
Thank you so much for this great story!
This was so well written, the characters had personalities of their own, and they interacted with each other so well. Those interactions are probably what I liked the most. The last few chapters with the "wolves" arc added just a bit of intrigue and made the story very unique. The fact that Madeline also stayed realistic on why the villagers were cheering after she drove off the bandits was also great in my opinion, it added a lot of depth.
Also Chad turning into a bunny. Priceless. The whole story was fluffy and cute, and it definitely made my day a bit brighter.
Thank you again for writing this, I'll be sure to check your other works!
Thank you so much for reading it!
Well I don't know how I missed this being uploaded here. I read this back on itchio sometime last year. Very much enjoyed it.
And to find a sequel... Well, gonna check that out, soon.
Aww, that was delightful! I was really afraid that Chad was going to hurt someone at some point, but I'm glad he learned his lesson in the end.
Ha! That was great!! Thanks sho much for the awesome story!
Thanks for the story
Thx for the story I hope it has a sequel I would definitely read it.
Lucky enough, there is! https://www.scribblehub.com/series/147874/the-wolves-and-the-lightbringer/
The sequel has a bit of a different tone and has a different central cast, but I'm really really happy with it!
Enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing your work. Rather than a cursed door that specifically does wolves maybe a cursed door that makes you part animal based on your thoughts?
too bad he wanted to just be a bunny man, cause bunny girls are awesome. But then I sense he is Cis and insecure about some things.
Also, as a fan idea, what would it take to make a cursed door than makes everyone stepping though it into wolf people? Because I think that town needs such a door.
Honestly, in canon getting one of those set up would have been a great bit of foresight on Madeline's part (especially for a certain kid in this book)
