"I will wait a little longer. And then I will destroy this cursed, ignorant and bright place from top to bottom that dared to attack me."
His expression when he said this with his sovereign voice made even the young stranger tremble.
"I see."
He shrugged and kissed his beast's forehead. "I almost feel sorry for them. Ah Regan, here comes your end."
"And you?" said Vradiome, smiling at him with touching kindness.
"Me, well, I don't know yet, since I got what I came for."
And he nonchalantly pointed to his creature.
"What is his name?"
"Sirious."
"He's really beautiful."
"Isn't he?"
Vradiome reached out to stroke him as well, then said.
"I wish you would stay."
The young stranger was silent as he continued to caress Sirious and then nodded.
"Okay, I'll stay. And you can call me Biode."
