Vampire's Slice Of Life

The baby wolf was shivering in Lith’s arms. It was as if it was going through a nightmare.

The baby wolf calmed down a little and it looked around. It found that it was in an unfamiliar environment and started struggling in Lith’s arms due to panick.

“Hey, calm down buddy. I am not going to harm you.” Lith said in a gentle voice.

The baby wolf looked at the source of sound and found the familiar face of the person he had asked for help. He gradually calmed down.

Lith looking at the now calm baby wolf, said in a gentle way

“So, what about now? You asked me for help and I helped you. What will you do now?”

The baby wolf thought about it and was wondering what was it supposed to do. He didn’t know anything that’s need to be done now. It was not an intelligent creature like the other ones. He was only a magical beast. The baby wolf looked at Lith and tilted it’s head and his face had a look stating ‘What to do now?’

Lith looked at the baby wolf and smiled. He said in the same tone as before

“If you want, I can let you be free. You can do whatever you want. You will get attacked by those wolves from back then again or maybe someone even stronger. You may get eaten by other’s in the wild you know?”

His gentle tone didn’t seem gentle at all to the baby wolf. It started shivering in fear. He recalled the nightmare from before. The baby wolf’s pack was small in number and they were travelling to find a safe place. They were all very low rank and were travelling in hopes to find a safe place to live. They had gotten attacked mid way and many lost their lives. The baby wolf’s mother took him and ran away from the pack and hid themselves in a dungeon.

It was their great misfortune that they stumbled upon another wolves territory and her mother got attacked and killed. The baby wolf was going to die too but it somehow held onto his life as the other wolves didn’t take him as a threat and were toying with him.

It was then that he found a gaze on himself other than these bad wolves and found that the other party didn’t mean harm. It then sent a cry for help. Now this party had said that he’ll let it be free. But where was the baby wolf supposed to go? He knew full well that he’ll die in the open. It’s pack had long been dead.

He looked at Lith and started whimpering and shivering.

Lith understood that the wolf was going through a trauma when he said those words. He then cast water’s tranquility again and said in a gentle way

“You have another option. The option is to become my pet and consider me as a master. You will be adventuring by my side and I’ll help you grow and make you stronger. You will never have to go through, whatever you have been through up until now, again. I promise you. So, will you take me as your master and become my pet?”

The baby wolf didn’t know what it really meant to be a pet or have a master but thinking that the other party will not harm him or he’ll not have to be in danger again, he nodded it’s head. If he can survive, he’ll do it. Survival was the basic instinct of every creature.

Lith smiled after he saw the baby wolf nod. He then started drawing certain special diagrams on the baby wolf’s neck and a magic circle started appearing on it. He then looked at his big sister and said

“Big sis, help me draw a little blood and put into the seal.”

Lucy did as she was told. She pinched Lith’s finger which was on the hand holding the baby wolf and drawed a little blood from it. She then made the blood flow into the seal which Lith was casting. She arranged the blood in proper directions into the seal and Lith was in the midst of writing certain more symbols.

Lith was writing an Enslavement seal onto the baby wolf’s neck. It was taught to him by his big sister who was taught by their mother.

The seal was made by his mother when she was adventuring and thought to enslave the Dragon Empress Mayzin when she found that it was not bad to have her as a pet. But then one things lead to another and she let go of such a thought and they became best friends. She had no use for the seal anymore but she taught it to her daughter thinking she might need it. What if her daughter finds someone like Mayzin again? She thought along those lines and taught.

Lith then completed the magic circle and the Enslavement seal was ready. His blood was almost spread out in all the correct places and only a few were left.

Soon, every place where blood was supposed to be, was filled and the magic circle started glowing in a golden colour on the baby wolf’s dark purple fur. It soon died down and everything went to normal as if nothing had taken place.

The Enslavement seal would not allow the person it was inscribed onto to betray the master and it also acted as a tracking agent. The master could find the pet and the pet could find the master through this connection anywhere in the world. They could even feel each other even if the other person was in another dimension but it was not so powerful as of now.

The distance at which they could feel each other would depend upon the strength of the seal. As Lith was only rank 1, his seal was not so powerful. Once he starts growing, he can keep updating the seal with fresh blood of whatever rank he has and it would likewise grow in strength. Once he reaches Emperor level, the master and pet could feel each other even dimensions away.

They could communicate with each other miles away if they could feel their connection together. The only bad part about it was that as long as the person it was enslaved onto had thoughts of harming the master it would die instantly. If it had thoughts of betraying the master, the master would be alerted.

The baby wolf could feel the connection with the person and he felt some weird feelings inside. It didn’t know what it was. Anyway, he was safe now, so everything would be okay. He snuggled into the arms of Lith as it felt safer now.

Lith looked at him and smiled and said

“You’ll have the name Ren from today onwards. You’ll be my magical pet for lifelong. I swear I’ll never mistreat you and if I do, you are free to leave me, the seal has this clause on it, so don’t worry. Let’s have wonderful adventures together in the future, Ren.”

The baby wolf just snuggled happily into his arms. He liked the name Ren and after hearing the words that said he wouldn’t be mistreated, he felt even more comfortable with Lith.

“Alright, now that it is over, big sis, is there a way to revive Ren’s pack? He would be very lonely in the world without them.” Lith asked his big sister worriedly. Although he was not a person who would do good for other’s for no reason, Ren was his magical pet now. He swore to take care of him and this was the first step he wanted to take towards his care.

“I do but not everyone can be revived. The wolves who have died for a much more longer time must have already entered the reincarnation cycle so we can only hope that some souls who haven’t yet. Let’s go. We’ll first revive Ren’s mother.”
