[There is one thing in common with every religion that believes in reincarnation, which is karma (action, work, or deed that people do would decide their fate in their future existence).]

Soon that day, the elf lady had a visitor. It was her disciple. He barged in her treehouse without even asking permission. The man was a little surprised to see her with a child. "Ho? Arry, when did you have a child?" He teased her and she responded with a slap behind his head.
"Not Arry but Arianne, you idiot. He'll be my new disciple. You better work your butt off because I'll make him surpass you." Arianne replied with a smirk.
"Eh... I'm still young... and by the time he grows enough to understand and be able to fight I'll be much stronger. Master trust me!"
"Good! That's the spirit. Never stop training and surpass everyone." Then the elf lady whispered. "Or you'll get beaten by a little kid."
"No fair Arry! You don't even teach me new things! "He crossed his arm with a smile knowing she disliked this nickname.
She just took a book and began hitting his shoulder with it. "A-ri-anne! Take that, you're such a lousy kid. Go away, you woke up Hirotsu." With his mouth open he stared at her then at Hirotsu. Sure, she was older than him but he wasn't a kid! He grabbed the book with a frown. He hated reading. He could read it a hundred times, he still won't remember what's written there. At the same time the baby giggled as if mocking him.
For his surprise the baby didn't cry. Hirotsu looked around curiously and said "Ba!" in his direction as if saying hi. The man saw how the baby looked and the word slipped out of his mouth. "Weirdo."
"You're still here? "She literally kicked him out of her house making him fall off the tree face first on the ground. "Always welcoming people with a kick..."

For some reason Yui could hold her breath for a long time. Maybe she still has her snake powers? Once she gets her head out she will try them.
She feels like she was swallowed a little more. Without waiting another second Yui scratched the big fish but with no results. Her claws slipped on the fish's scales. 'I also want to have my scales back!'
The wolf pulled her head with all the limited strength that she can use in the water. Even though she kept slipping she was almost there.
As if someone was watching her and just wanted to make fun of her, she once again was trapped but not by the fish. Something grabbed her body and took her away from the fish.
'Should I be happy or sad?' Now she could see what was grabbing her and the only thought that came to her mind was that she'll die once again.
'Hmph, just eat me and let me die already' The giant octopus took her closer to its eye to see what Yui looked like. Her heart began to race. 'Maybe.... I don't want to die that much. I have humans to kill.'
She heard in her head. 'Looks disgusting' Without letting her understand who said that, the octopus threw her out of the water as if throwing her to the trash.
She hit the ground while yelping and continued rolling until a tree stopped her. 'Ugh... Hope I broke nothing... Wait.' She thought about who dared to say that she looked disgusting in this beautiful wolf form.
'W-what? Me? disgusting? It's you who is! Come out of the water so that I can tear your tentacles!'
She asked for trouble, trouble came to find her. Tentacles come out of the water. She showed her teeths ready to attack. She got up and ran towards the tentacles. She imagined shredding them to pieces and having a good meal.
The wolf soon changed her mind. There won't be any good fight, only an overpowered opponent. Yui, with her strength, looked like a bug compared to the octopus's. 'l let you go away one last time. Do you need help for that?' The octopus seemed pissed off. When he looked at the wolf from far away it seemed good to eat but with a closer look, he changed his mind.
He grabbed and squeezed her. Her ribs died. They are broken for sure. Yui knew that she doesn't have her strength from when she was a snake so she just clinched her teeth and bear with it. Either she took the strength that the original person in this body had or the octopus is more powerful than her. 'Sorry for bothering you... I'll leave.'
She couldn't be sure if the octopus heard her but she wished he had. The octopus stopped for some seconds as if he was surprised. He slowly stopped squeezing the wolf.
'Trash is trash. 'He responded and threw her with so much strength that her paws broke when they hit some trees.
Yui was in so much pain she kept yelping, the tears were crying. Just breathing was a difficult task. 'I prefer my first death.'
She couldn't help but close her eyes to try and reduce the pain. The black wolf, without even noticing, fell asleep.
After hours, the wolf was still sleeping but she was slowly healing. Someone fell from the sky, almost crushing the sleeping wolf. That person was intrigued by what had made the trees fall. He thought that it was some awesome strong beast. "Just a wolf? What are you doing here little buddy?"
He pushed the wolf with his feet to see if it was dead. Yui growled but didn't wake up. " I'll take you for now."
He threw her on his shoulder as if she was a dead corpse. "Even a trash beast can become powerful if trained a lot." In a whisper he added : "till the verge of death."
