Chereads / Lost one / Chapter 6 - Obsidian

Chapter 6 - Obsidian

Making a mess of my small place standing in the center stood an obsidian infused wolf. It was at the stage of being a small puppy, thus it was small enough to be held in both my arms.

Its features were striking, both eyes had blackish purple pupils that seem to have cracks running through them while its Iris's were completely black. The wolf's canines were made out of bone with an obsidian tint. while the rest seem to only have a top layer of it while the bottom half were normal. It's tail had a surprising white with purple highlights that made it seem like it was was made out of volcanic ash.

As we made eye contact its claws retracted and went from large black glass claws to short white ones made out of calcium. As soon as I made eye contact with it I could hear a voice within my head. It was deep and low, making it feel like the inside of my skull was vibrating.

"Was it you? Are you the one who's mana I have been fed?"- Unknown. "Y-your final out of your egg, holy shit, finally!"- Elias. "Hmm, your mana, your a half breed aren't you? No matter, you have my respect for not dying while I was devouring your mana."-Unknown

"Are you saying that I could have died!? How, why!??- Elias. "I forget, I am of the obsidian race, an earth/animal type beast. I say this due to my current hunger for mana and how well our wavelengths are merging."- Unknown. "I see, before we continue, I'm Elias Ophelia and it looks like you my adorable companion are in need of a name."

"A name, yes, that doesn't sound too bad, I await what you shall name me, Master."-Unknown. "Lets see, I think I'll call you Owslo Remington. Also, how can you communicate with me?"-Elias

"That I do not know, but it feels quite natural."-Owlso. "Well Owslo, would you like to form a bonding contract with me?"-Elias

"You have hatched me from my egg and provided me with the gift of life, I see no reason to not spend my living days alongside you, master."-Owlso

"Wonderful, I need you to sit and relax, I'll start the bonding contract."-Elias.

As Owlso sat in the living room I reached into a special drawer to get the material I need to make the bonding process as smooth as possible. The first Item was simply a knife, the bonding process demands a sacrifice, and that sacrifice must be ones own blood.

The second Item is black ink along with a tattoo needle. This step is not required as a tattoo will form regardless, having the material already ready will cause for a higher success rate as well as less pain.

The third and final item was a mana boosting pill, all of these Items had been given to me by a man who no longer is among the living. I quickly walked back to Owlso and set the items down.

I closed my eyes and started to focus on the mana surrounding Owlso and saw that he had some kind of storage withing him, almost like a well of mana. Suddenly I heard a ring withing my head and two words appeared in my head, Mana vision. Whenever someone obtains a skill, regardless of anything, a small ding can be heard withing their minds. With mana sense I was able to see the differences with how much of a storage our bodies have.

Since Owlso was just born there wasn't much to behold, but on the other hand, my mana storage was leagues above his. This presented the first issue, i would have to make a really small mana connection with Owslo for the bonding.

"Owlso, I need you to jump on my shoulder shoulder for the bonding."

"If that is what's required, master."

He slowly walks over then easily makes his way on my shoulder. grabbing all the materials and sitting Cris-cross apple sauce on my living room floor, the bonding process is almost ready to begin. As I begin drawing the bonding circle the ground randomly shakes.

"Master, what was that?"

"I don't know, but we should head under the table."

I thought the shaking would stop but it only worsened as time when on until around 2 minutes and a cracked wall later it stopped.

"What the hell, an earthquake, this area shouldn't have any of those, even if i do live on the edge of town."

"Somethings coming, master."

"What the fu-"

before i can finish my statement a monster breaks through the front door while swinging its arms around. As soon as it spotted me it grinned as if I was easy food.

I grabbed Owslo and began running towards the back door but as soon as I did, the monster bared its teeth.

It had a tall lanky body with thin hair and looked very humanoid, but its eyes were missing and there were scars all over its body. Its fingers were twisted and had claws instead of nails.

The moment I managed to get out of the house I realized that no help would be coming for at least 30 minutes.
