This was perhaps the worst position Melanie had found herself in, and she was a cow in a dungeon for a year. She had body swapped with a frog, she knew couldn’t be reverted using a fountain. In fact she didn’t know how to change back. Every wizard she found only saw Frederick as a frog and none wanted to turn an animal into a human.



What’s worse is he possibly had her body and who knows what he was currently doing with it. Instead of moping around the pond, she decided to go exploring. The starting area wasn’t too far from here, so she could get a sense of what she was up against.



One thing Melanie noticed while she was in this form was nothing seemed to be attacking her. Everything just let her roam through. She didn’t get how Frederick had even managed to steal Gwaine’s medallion as she moved a lot slower in this frog than all the other times she had been one.



When she got to the starting area she understood how. Her body hadn’t even spawned yet. Which meant that each time the world reset itself it played itself a little bit before Melanie reentered. That gave her a head start as she tried to get Gwaine’s attention and failed. Next she tried rummaging through his things but couldn’t find anything to help.



“Shoo,” Gwaine picked Melanie up by her back foot and dangled her in the air before throwing her out the window.



If that wasn’t going to work, she could at least hinder Frederick, she went to the back of the hut and begrudgingly ate the flies that were there. It satisfied her hunger and would prevent the body thief from progressing further. At least the rats ignored her.



After camping by the fountain for an hour or so, she finally spawned in. She watched as a naked elf sprinted up the path with Joren following after her. Inside the hut she heard the conversation between Gwaine and herself when it came time to accept the frog quest.



“Perhaps my companion can demonstrate the dangers of magic for me,” she heard her voice suggest.



“I’m at your service, my lady,” Joren replied. A minute later a frog rounded the corner as the giant naked elf stood over them. Not only that, all the flies respawned.



“Joren, it’s me,” Melanie begged the warrior turned frog. But he ignored her and finished the quest, turning back into his proper body.



“Nice try,” the body thief looked down at Melanie. “Now watch this,” she turned to Joren. “Joren attack!”



“At once, my lady,” Joren acknowledged as he drew his sword and approached Melanie. He struck her down so fast she didn’t even feel it.

Now she was back at the pond in the woods, the day seeming to have reset itself. She didn’t know what to think, seeing the body thief standing there naked or how she managed to get Joren on her side. Her situation seemed hopeless, there was no way she was able to transform back and a pervert was in control over her body. At least it wasn’t her real body, but she still saw it as hers. She moped around the pond for hours trying to figure out a way out of this.



“Melanie.. Where are you?” her body came through the trees, this time in starter gear and by herself. “It’s much too dangerous to leave you out here by yourself, let me keep you somewhere safe.”



The way the body thief was acting was strange. She seemed annoyed and now she was concerned about Melanie’s safety after getting Joren to kill her. Melanie wasn’t sure what they were playing at but this seemed like a trap. So she stayed hidden, in the deepest part of the pond. Unfortunately the body thief kept vigil the entire time as well.



A full day had passed and neither dared move, then another and another. Neither of them had to sleep or eat and could be in this stalemate for all eternity. Melanie wasn’t sure why the thief was so desperate to get her. By the 5th day there was another reset, Melanie was no longer underwater but once again by the pond’s edge and her body was nowhere in sight. That’s when it clicked, she respawned back here when Joren struck her down, which was several hours before the thief reappeared as her. If she dies the world resets and that includes her former body.



Not wanting to be here when her body comes back, Melanie began hopping away. There was only one other place she could think of that could fix her current situation, she had to go back to the Fairy Woods. It was a long journey in her current form, and if her original body tried looking for her, she’d certainly catch up. She was small and could hide easily though, while her body had to figure out where she was going.



Melanie crossed the mushroom wall, into the woods, and made her way to the palace as best she could remember. This time though the creatures left her alone, that was until she approached the palace gates.



“FROG!” One of the fairies yelled. “Sound the Alarm!” Suddenly Melanie was surrounded by fairies ready to attack.



“Stay your hands,” an angelic voice stated as she saw a familiar white glow. “While I detect no curses, this frog is no ordinary one.”



‘Ribbit’ Melanie tried to communicate with the Fairy Queen.



“I can’t even understand the poor thing,” she looked over at one of her fairy soldiers and turned them into a frog as well. “Translate this creature’s message.”



“Fairy Queen, it’s me Melanie, my body was stolen and I’m trapped as a frog, you’ve got to help me.” The soldier repeated.



“Impressive,” the Fairy Queen nodded. “I thought as much, this is the work of Rebecca that’s for sure, though she’s more powerful than I realised if she’s able to transform you in a way I can’t even detect.” The queen pondered for a moment. “She must have access to the source code somehow. This makes her a threat to all.” She returned her attention to Melanie. “I will be able to change you into another form, though nothing is ever free in my realm, if you wish to be human again, I want you to serve as my pet until the next reset.”



Melanie wasn’t even given a choice as she was strapped with a leash and taken into the palace. She was tied to a tree in a large garden, by a small pond. There she was fed insects even worse than flies. She suffered a great indignity at the hands of the Fairy Queen, who took pleasure in tormenting the poor frog.



“Return to me, after you turn human again,” the Queen instructed just before the world reset.



Now Melanie was back at the pond though she was much bigger now. She looked down at her body and screamed in a masculine voice, she now had a penis…
