It was a Saturday afternoon, the sun was burning, not really, it's just an expression to say that it's crazy hot, inside a hut there was a young man with surprisingly white hair, this white was not dye, it was evident, since every time his hair fell out, another of the same color came out.
"This place is very relaxing, if it were up to me, I would live here," said the young man of about 11 years old.
The young man was surrounded by wooden walls, as well as the floor, the hut was poorly furnished, the most important thing to highlight is a wooden table, a bed base, also made of wood and a wardrobe, also made of wood.
Inside the hut something was shining, that object was under the wooden floor, what could it be? Well, curiosity had to be present.
"I am very fond of this little hut, so breaking the floor may cause me a little embarrassment," said the young man as he cracked a small hole in the ground.
It was something very shiny, it looked like a sculpture, but in miniature, it would actually be like a figure of some fantasy character, it was similar. The young man removed the little dust that the figure had, when he looked at it carefully he realized that it was the figure of a silver wolf.
"Wow! "It's the first time I've seen one of these, I suppose it's a dog," he exclaimed as he sat down outside the old hut.
"It looks like it's got something written on it," the young man said as he read the writing.
"Aparito, nato yatero, kairus meta, hold pus. Bordey?" The young man mentioned the words written aloud, with great difficulty.
The young man was confused, he had just read something in another language or apparently that was what it seemed, the figure was still the same, the only thing that had to be said about that figure was that it was very well made, all the details were captured there, it even seemed to have been copied. The young man looked carefully at the figure as he held it in his hands.
"I've never had a pet, I guess I can keep it," thought the young man.
"You, would you like to be my pet?" The young man questioned the motionless figure.
…
"Agreed, but on one condition.
A girl who appeared to be the same age, was on the right side of the young man, she was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and shoes of the same color as her entire outfit, her hair was black and her eyes had a honey color, which is not very peculiar to see.
The young man saw it, he was surprised to the point of throwing the figure of the wolf, both looked at each other carefully, the girl raised the figure and then threw it at the young man.
"You shouldn't be so easily scared, aren't you a man?" The young woman asked mockingly.
"Well, you took me by surprise, besides I didn't hear you coming anywhere," replied the young man taking the figure of the wolf again.
"I know, I'm very stealthy," I reply arrogantly.
Both connected looks, the honey-colored eyes of the young woman, looked at the white eyes of the young man, suddenly she looked at the figure of the wolf and then turned to see the young man.
"I will answer your request on one condition," he exclaimed, pointing to the young man.
This confused man began to look at her carefully, how can a girl dress that way and walk alone on the street?, that was still a mystery, but apparently everything would unravel itself.
"I know it's a little late to ask, but who are you?" The young man questioned as he looked at her carefully.
The young woman seemed confused, approached the young man while not taking her eyes off him, and took the figure of the wolf from the young man's hands.
"You asked me to be your pet and I replied that on one condition," the young woman replied, pointing to the figure and then returning it to him.
"You're telling me, are you this wolf?" He questioned incredulously.
The young woman nodded, turned around, walked five steps forward and spoke.
"What you are holding in your hands is my home, you called me when you read the writing on the figure and see me here.
The young man was perplexed by the statement, he thought it was just a girl who wanted to attract attention, but when he looked at it more carefully he realized several things. The irises of her eyes were very different from his, her fingers had long and sharp nails, but the most shocking thing was how much the young woman yawned, her teeth, her teeth were not like the others, they were long and sharp, like those of a beast.
"I mean, you're this wolf," he said.
The young woman nodded while smiling, she seems happy that she finally realized, it was hard to believe, but even so the proof that it was true was in front of him, now there was no doubt.
"Seriously, is it okay to have you as a pet?" I say you are a person, it would be something strange.
"I see, then you mean that kind of pet," cried the young woman, holding her chin.
As if by magic, right in front of the young man's eyes appeared a paper that levitated, it had something written, but he could not read it, since it was the same language that the writing of the figure had. Faced with the young man's look of confusion, the girl decided to speak.
"I guess you don't know how to read my language, all right, I'll read it for you," he said as the paper floated to where she was.
The young man was still looking at her carefully, he wanted to know what was written on that sheet.
"Perhaps, it could be a contract," he thought seriously.
"By means of this document," he began to read, "he informs the covenanter that, after hiring the services of pet under contract, the agreed or the agreed, they must obey the orders of the pact without ifs and buts, likewise the pact must not mistreat the agreed or agreed upon person so much physically, if so the pact will be eliminated for breach of contract. The benefits of hiring a pet under contract are that you do not hire a simple pet like those that are usually known, this is a special pet, ideal for murder and personal protection work, but, as well as having strong benefits, it has a great cost —he mentioned and then looked at the young man with a malicious smile—, The price is, he continued, to win a fight against the agreed one, if he succeeds, the negotiation of the duration of the contract will proceed. Kind regards. LADMBC," he finished reading.
"I knew," thought the young man as he looked at her.
"You heard it, if you want me to be your pet, you must defeat me first," he said arrogantly.
The young man looked thoughtful, apparently weighing the pros and cons.
"Why hire this type of pet, if I don't need it?" I mean, I'm 11 years old," he thought.
"I understand you're just a kid, there's not the slightest chance you'll get me to hire you," he said with a wicked smile, "so," he went on, "go play with your carts," he added mockingly.
"It's a very good benefit, I know we don't need it, but even so, if someone else takes advantage of this opportunity, I'd rather take it," he thought.
The selfishness was remarkable, but this selfishness was for beneficial purposes for him and those around him, it was a unique opportunity that only presented itself once in a lifetime, having someone who is a specialist in murder, is beneficial for someone who wants to protect his loved ones. Let's call it selfish protection.
"That seems good to me," exclaimed the young man, leaving the figure of the wolf inside the hut, "I am interested in hiring your services..." em What's your name? He asked the young woman.
"I don't have one, after all there's a small chance you're my first owner," I reply.
The young woman gave an extra piece of information about herself, she had never had an owner before, that was because no one else had defeated her in a battle, so she never had anyone to give her a name.
"But the truth is that I still have no hope, the previous person lived in this place, he faced me almost 20 times and still he couldn't defeat me," he exclaimed with disappointment, "not even being an advanced level fire elemental sorcerer could beat me, and now my opponent is a boy who still plays with carts, what a disappointment."
The face of boredom was noticeable on the young woman, she looked carefully at the next opponent, who for her would not get her services either. But the previous statement left the boy shocked, an elementary wizard of advanced level, he was not even a match for her.
"I'm not a magician," he exclaimed indifferently, "nor am I someone super powerful," he went on, "the only thing I can tell you is," he paused briefly to walk to where the young woman was, "that from today on you'll be called Wulls," he finished saying, caressing her head, as if it were a dog.
"Wulls?" The young woman wonders in her head, "all right, but first defeat me, and then I'll be baptized with that name," she exclaimed, jumping back a lot.
"Can we get away?" I don't want to damage the hut," the young man conditioned.
The young woman nodded to his request, they both walked towards the hill, until they were far enough away to damage the hut, the boy stopped in front of her while saying that this would be a good place, the young woman just gave a smile and began to walk quickly in his direction.
"Don't worry, child, everything will end quickly," said the young woman very confidently.
Confidence was reflected in his speech, he intended to end this as quickly as possible, after all, his opponent was just a child, what could happen?
A loud bang was heard, something at high speed had made contact with the hands of what could perhaps be called Wulls, surprisingly the unexpected turned out to be expected, the young man's fist had been stopped by the young woman's right hand, she was very surprised by what she had seen, a child, a simple child had just given him a blow that although he easily stopped him, I never cease to surprise her. Attentively she looked at the young man's face, she realized that that tender and innocent face had disappeared, in its place was a serious and concentrated face.
"Really, you're a kid?" He wondered in his thoughts.
In an agile movement, the young woman hit the boy's stomach, who when receiving the blow leaned forward, and then the young woman with a vertical kick, nailed him to the ground. Despite the great surprise she had with the previous blow of the young man, the difference in strength was still the same, she would not be surprised if the battle was already over, but, even so, curiosity invaded her. How does a child of only 11 years old possess such speed and strength?
"Don't be distracted!" The young man shouted, leaping with great speed from the ground, headbutting the young woman's chin.
She took a few steps back, while looking at him in dismay and doubt, it seemed that the battle was over, but the young man suddenly surprised her with a headbutt, that was very unexpected. Blood gushed from the young man's nose, but it seemed unimportant to him while the young woman continued to watch him doubtfully, he continued to try to hit her, but she easily dodged and blocked his attacks.
"What's your name?" He questioned as he continued to dodge the blows.
"Asterius," he replied without stopping his attack.
"Where do you come from?" He continued to question.
"We're fighting, aren't we?" no need to talk and Focus! He said with a low kick, which would be dodged by the young woman, and then kicked the boy in the chin sending him to the ground.
The young woman had a serious face, the mocking and arrogant attitude was gone, now a serious and thoughtful face took its place, the young man rose from the ground while wiping the blood from his mouth.
"You look bored," said the young man looking at the girl.
It's not that she was bored, she just thought what she had previously thought strange, the young woman looked at him carefully and then smiled at him as she had done from the beginning.
"Yes, I'm very bored, how about we end this now?" Of course you have not the slightest chance of beating me, so I propose something," he said smiling, "a blow, give me a blow that will make me retreat at least to that rock," he said, pointing to a rock behind him, "if you do I will end our battle and we will proceed to negotiate the duration of the contract."
It was an unbeatable opportunity, she would no longer have to be defeated, now what she only had to do was move her towards a rock that was 3 meters away, the young woman was standing smiling watching the young man's reaction, he only gave a sigh and accepted her offer.
"Then I'll go all out... "Wulls," he mentioned the possible name of the young woman.
"Yes, I'm ready," she cried smilingly, "master," she whispered.
The main reason why the young woman accepted the boy early is. Aparito nato, yatero kairus meta, hold pus. Bordey? What does it mean, Appearance, is not what defines the person, is it?
"Here I am going!" She shouted as her right eye glowed white, as did some hairs in her hair.
"I knew it, this child is not what he seems, his appearance as an innocent and kind child, does not define his protective selfishness, he is perfect, he is not a vigilante like the previous ones who tried to get hold of me, no, he is a "Selfish Vigilante" He is the perfect master!" he exclaimed in his thoughts with emotion.
With a loud scream, the young man at high speed hit the girl causing a great noise, raising a large cloud of dust that did not show the result of the battle. When the dust dissipated, it was possible to hear how something collapsed to the ground, this was Asterio who had fallen to the ground tired from having used all his strength in that last blow. On the other hand, the girl had a different appearance, now her hair and eyes had a gray color, but what is most striking when seeing her with that appearance, was that gray wolf ears came out of her head, while behind her a long and fluffy gray tail was present, She stood as she watched another loser who was supposed to have already baptized her with a name.
"Hahahaha," he laughed mockingly, "How exciting! Finally, finally! —he repeated the same phrase over and over again—, "I found my perfect master! he shouted with joy.
