Chapter 17 - Anafel's reflections and strange eyes

Author's note: and here is a new chapter, have fun reading. I am waiting for your comments :)

POV: Anafel

I calmly walked along the corridor returning with Shiro on my shoulder. "This girl... Rather, Shiro has a lot of secrets and I was able to find out only a few," I thought and began to analyze the fight with Shiro. "Not only does she have blessed mana, she also has blood magic."

Her silky hair bounced up and down slightly. "But Shiro's wings are very disturbing," I thought and remembered the last attack. "If I hadn't used half my body strength to dodge the incoming attack... I'm afraid I wouldn't have stayed without injuries." " I also wanted to highlight her speed. In terms of speed, she could catch up with me to strike, but I didn't use all the power of my body, and even half wasn't there. The only thing I know about the features of the universal chimera is its adaptability," I thought with surprise.

Chimeras were not rare creatures in our world, and after much study, we identified several main classes: Attacking, defensive, support, magical. These classes were divided into rarer classes, but the world does not like any chimeras. The world considers them unworthy and chimeras literally mock the rules of our world and because of this they are subject to strict restrictions that are very difficult to overcome. "But Shiro was unlucky, she lives in the most hated body in the world," she thought with pity and slowly approached the room where we first spoke to Shiro. "The heavens literally wanted to destroy her, as they took control of my body for a moment. Damn the heavens! I commented angrily.

"Hmm, I'm already at the door," I muttered to myself. After opening the door, I had to pass carefully so as not to touch Shiro's wings. I walked towards her room, passing by an untidy table. Putting Shiro on the bed, first taking off all her clothes and leaving only underwear. I looked at Shiro's face and couldn't help but remember one person. "They are so similar, even in character," I thought sadly and covered her with a blanket, and then left the room.

"First I'll load the dishes in the sink and go hunting, maybe even go to my teacher " made a plan of action for the near future. Quickly loading the dishes into the sink, I headed for one of the exits from this mountain. "I think Shiro will be very hungry and I'll have to catch something bigger, but that's not a problem. Hmm, can I cook her body parts? "I thought about Shiro's strange feature.

Yes, I saw her eating the heart of an ice wolf, so I assumed that Shiro likes to eat monster body parts. Also on her face, I could see the pleasure she got from eating the heart. "Hmm, who should I catch? A healing deer, a wolf, or maybe a bear? " shaking my head, I gradually began to accelerate to a state in which I looked like a blur. The wind gently ruffled my white hair.

"Almost out," I noticed a light at the end of a long corridor, but the closer I got to the exit, the less light there was in the corridor. Ten seconds later I was at the foot of the mountain. "It's time to go hunting," I concluded and disappeared from my seat, heading towards the snowy forest. While I was running, I thought, "Shiro also has blood magic, it's quite dangerous... We must definitely talk to her about her elements."

After running one kilometer in 30 seconds, I found what I was looking for. "A bear with a stone skin! This is very rare, since they rarely get so close to the mountain," I thought and got closer to him, and then stopped and frowned deeply. "What's he doing here anyway? " I thought and started sniffing the surrounding space.

"The smell of Shiro comes from him! Or rather, a pheromone. My teacher told me that dragons are very proud and vindictive creatures and have some peculiarities. Sometimes it happens that the dragon cannot win and runs away, while in order not to damage his honor, he can brand a strong opponent as the sworn enemy of this very dragon. And other dragons are acutely aware of this pheromone and do not attack it, since their killing may cause problems with this very dragon. Think only It turns out that Shiro has a sworn enemy. I'd rather not touch him, let she kill him myself," I thought and abruptly jerked off to the other side of the forest, for the sake of another prey.

"Lucky that I have a part of the wyvern's bloodline and I can feel everything draconic and everything thanks to my teacher," I thought and remembered the teacher's appearance. Shaking my head, I finally caught a young healing deer, but the rest of the herd did not even attack me, but only ran away from my presence in fear.

"That should be enough," I said softly and began to slowly walk back. "Why should I hurry if I can enjoy the beautiful forest around me " with these thoughts, I began my walk. The young fawn had long since died of fright, so he swayed from side to side like a rag doll.

POV: Shiro

"Ugh, where am I? " I asked a question in my thoughts and tried to look around. "Why is this space so dark... And why it seems to me that I have become taller," I thought and wanted to examine my body. But I couldn't do it, because in this dark space I couldn't see my silhouette. But after 2-3 minutes, I felt the gaze of a dozen animals on me and I quickly turned my gaze to them.

Some were big, some were so small that if I hadn't focused on them, I wouldn't even have noticed them. But some stood out from the general background. These eyes were of topaz light and had vertical pupils. They were also the only ones who were at my eye level. I could feel deep devotion, wisdom and affection in them. "There are no bad intentions in all these eyes and they seem to be waiting for something," I thought and waited. After an unknown amount of time, the big yellow eyes spoke in their deep and calm voice, but it resembled an animal growl, but for some reason I could understand it.

- Madam, I'm glad that you came here, but it's too early, you need to go back and grow up, - said the big yellow eyes in a caring tone, as if he was my grandfather. I couldn't answer and if I had my mouth, it would be very wide open. "What the fuck? Am I the mistress? " I thought in shock and couldn't help but doubt myself. "What am I? " I asked myself a question and then I voiced it out loud.

- You are a Chimerical dragon, a new species, but you are too weak to control all our talents and therefore we temporarily use them for your protection - said the big yellow eyes in the same gentle tone, but then he added the latter and his voice began to weaken - probably you noticed that the body felt not completely controlled by you, but we did it and only for your safety... Ah, Madam, it's time for you, good luck in your future growth," he said, and I abruptly found myself in my room.

- What the fuck happens every fucking day, although I do not know if the day has passed at all, - I said in a low voice, almost in a whisper. Sighing, I could only shake my head, but I shouldn't have done that.

- A-a-a-a-a, how it hurts, much more painful than in the past times! I said with obvious irritation.
