**Chapter 441: Remy’s Transformation**
A captivating swirl of deep blue energy enveloped Remy, wrapping his small form in a radiant glow that pulsed with vibrant life. The brilliant light cascaded over Silas, casting a soft azure hue across his features, illuminating the awe in his eyes as he stood transfixed by the spectacle unfolding before him.
Within this enchanting cocoon, a potent surge of life energy coalesced around Remy, transforming him at a breathtaking speed. In mere moments, the dazzling light erupted outward, scattering like a shower of stars, filling the room with an otherworldly brilliance.
“Daddy…”
With a joyful exuberance, Remy perched on Silas’ shoulder, stretching out his newly formed little arms and wrapping them around Silas’ face in a tender embrace. He planted a wet, affectionate kiss on his cheek, a gesture so innocent and heartfelt that it momentarily stole Silas’ breath away.
Silas stood frozen, his mind racing to comprehend the miraculous change that had taken place. How quickly the Ebonheart fruit had facilitated this transformation into human form was beyond his wildest imagination. Yet a nagging thought lingered in his mind—a whisper of concern. While Remy now possessed arms, legs, and a head, the rest of his body still bore a striking resemblance to the fruit from which he had emerged.
“Daddy, Daddy, I’ve taken the human form!” Remy exclaimed, his voice bubbling over with excitement. A delicate, translucent flower blossomed atop his head, and he gazed down at his new body with wide-eyed curiosity.
Balancing precariously on Silas’ shoulder, he wobbled as he explored the sensations of his stubby legs and chubby little arms. His face was impossibly cute, mirroring Emma’s features perfectly, while his eyes sparkled like polished obsidian—deep, captivating, and full of wonder. The translucent flower on his head caught the light, casting a halo of rainbow hues around him, transforming him into a living, breathing work of art.
At that moment, Emma, who had been on the brink of leaving the room, caught a sound that drew her attention. She turned, and before she could fully process the scene, a small blur shot straight into her outstretched arms. Instinctively, she caught him, her heart racing with a mixture of surprise and joy.
“Mommy, Mommy…”
Remy nestled comfortably in her palms, wrapping one of his tiny fingers around hers and gazing up at her with a radiant smile that lit up his entire face. The little flower atop his head bobbed playfully as he moved, adding to the delightful image before her.
Emma stood frozen for a moment, her breath caught in her throat. She stared in disbelief at the minuscule creature cradled in her hands, its head adorned with a delicate blossom. Then her gaze shifted to Silas, who stood in the doorway, his expression a mixture of wonder and bewilderment. “Silas… is this… Remy?” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper, as if she feared speaking too loudly might shatter the magic of the moment.
Silas shook himself from his stupor, stepping closer to Emma, his eyes darting between her and the tiny figure in her palm. “Yes, it’s our Remy. It seems the energy from the Ebonheart Fruit must have triggered his transformation prematurely,” he replied, a heavy sigh escaping his lips as he took in Remy’s plump, fruit-like body. “But it appears that the energy wasn’t sufficient for a complete transformation.”
The absurdity of the situation struck Silas, leaving him with a slight headache; Remy’s transformation had left him in a diminutive state, resembling a collectible figurine. He couldn’t help but think that had Remy remained in his fruit form for three years, he would have matured naturally into a petalyn therian. Now, having hastily forced his evolution through external energy, Silas realized that they would need additional support to complete the transformation. A sense of foreboding washed over him; he was acutely aware that this would lead to significant challenges ahead.
“Wow… Remy, you’re absolutely adorable,” Emma exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with affection and curiosity. She reached out gently, poking his round little body with her fingertip, marveling at the soft and springy texture. Unable to resist, she poked him again, laughter bubbling up from deep within her.
“Mommy, that tickles…” Remy squealed, squirming playfully like a little fish in her palm. The sight of him laughing so joyfully melted Emma’s heart completely, filling her with warmth and pride.
Bringing him closer, she raised him to her eye level, her forehead lightly resting against his smooth little one. “You’re amazing, Remy. So small, and you can already take human form,” she whispered, her voice filled with pride and admiration.
“Mommy, I have an ability now too! I can protect you from now on!” Remy declared, his chest swelling with pride. He raised his tiny hand, and a deep blue lightning bolt crackled into existence, shaped just like one of Silas’ leaves.
