Freya...

"You have to stay here. Okay, don't go anywhere!" Dash said to his new pet, asking him not to go anywhere. Although he didn't know if Griffin understood or not, the important thing was that he gave the message to his new pet.

Dash rushed straight out of the barn. Looks right to left, making sure that her grandmother and older brother are not in the front area of ​​the barn.

After confirming that the place was safe, Dash immediately ran towards the market. His goal was to go to the market just to buy a few grams of meat to feed his new pet.

Because he couldn't keep looking for baby mice to feed his pets.

Before going to the market, Dash broke his piggy bank. Enough to buy a few grams of meat.

Dash purposely ran to the market, to get the meat he was going to buy faster. And he purposely didn't pass through some shops so he wouldn't be intercepted by the shop owner again to be bullied and bullied again because he had been so confident before that he would have a lot of money, but the reality wasn't on his side.

When he arrived at his regular butcher, Dash immediately ordered George.

"Sir I want to buy meat with this!" He said to George by giving him some silver coins and one gold coin.

This is a piggy bank that Dash has been collecting for almost two years, and he broke it just to buy meat for his new pet.

"How dare you buy meat for a fee!" George said with a smile to Dash.

"Yeah, I want to buy it some time for a certain price!" Dash said smiling at George.

George felt this child was not like usual, this time he bought meat in his shop with a happy face and looked very happy.

"What's that?" George asked Dash who looked very happy that day.

But Dash just smiled at him when George asked.

George shook his head, smiling at the man who seemed to be in a good mood that day. After he finished cutting off a few grams of meat, George immediately gave it to Dash.

"I'm exaggerating this for you!" George said to the boy standing in front of him now.

"Wow, thank you very much, sir, may goodness always be with you!"

Dash said, as usual when he left George, he ran fast.

The butcher just smiled when he saw that Dash was so happy that morning. For some reason, George was always happy to see the boy's big smile.

Dash ran very fast heading back to his house. And after arriving at his house he immediately went to the barn where he hid his pets.

"Hey where are you from?" asked his grandmother who was hoeing in the yard.

"I bought some of this meat for us to cook today!" Dash said as he placed some of the meat he bought on the regular table.

After that, he went straight back to the barn to quickly feed his new pet. His grandmother who saw her grandson's strange behavior was a little surprised. But maybe it's something natural for his grandmother. If he saw his grandson smiling happily, he wouldn't question it.

After entering the barn, Dash looks around the room to find where his pet is. He pulled up the blanket and headed for the hay, but his new pet wasn't there.

"Hey where are you?" she exclaimed while looking for her new pet.

Not long after that suddenly the Griffin appeared from behind him, nudged Dash's leg, and sent him falling backward.

He laughed when he saw that his little Griffin had returned to him.

"Hahaha, you're kidding me aren't you hahaha!" Dash said while laughing holding his cute Griffin.

"Why do you look heavier than before?" Dash said as he picked up his new pet but it seemed like he had put on more weight than before.

"And your body looks bigger than before, Even though I just left you to go to the market to buy this!" said Dash, carrying the meat in a cloth bag.

But the Griffin only gave a joyful expression while flapping its wings. Dash didn't know what he meant but he was just trying to understand what the Griffin was hinting at.

"If only you could talk, I'd keep you talking!" Dash said with a smile, after which he picked up the meat and threw it at his Griffin.

"Nice catch!" Dash immediately petted back his new pet's head because when he threw a few pieces of fresh meat at him, he caught it quickly.

"We'll make great partners!" Dash said smiling at his pet.

It didn't take long for the meat to be given to his pets, and now the meat was gone.

"Oops, it's gone, I hope you can find your food, so I have no trouble buying you meat at the market!" said Dash, stroking his pet's head.

"I think you should have a name for me to feel comfortable calling you!" And when Dash said that, suddenly Griffin who was on his lap came down and seemed to jump for joy in front of him.

"Wow, you're so excited! Well, I'll think of a name for you!" Dash said with a big smile at the Griffin who was in front of him now.

"I don't know if you're a girl or a boy. But since you look beautiful to me, I'll give you the nickname Freya!" said Dash, smiling at the Griffin who already had a new name.

It looks like Griffin is very happy when he gets his new name, Freya.

"Okay from now on I'll call you Freya!" Dash said to Freya.

They both look very happy while playing and joking in the barn where the corn is stored. Dash deliberately didn't tell anyone about Freya's whereabouts. Because it is feared that many people will panic when they find out that he has a Griffin that is kept.

So He decided to keep it to himself without anyone knowing.

Having just been fed by Dash, he didn't notice that Freya's body had become bigger than before.

It doesn't feel like the day has turned into night. And Dash is still in the barn joking with Freya.

"Dash you in?"

Dash turned to where the voice came from, he realized that someone was outside the warehouse he was in.

And the voice that had just questioned him from outside the warehouse was his older brother. Dash deliberately did not answer Thomas's call, because he was still annoyed and annoyed with his behavior that night.

Because after that incident Thomas didn't apologize to his sister at all, which made Dash still annoyed with him.

"Dash are you inside? I just wanted to see you before I left?" said Thomas from outside the barn.

Dash is shocked to hear that his brother is going somewhere. Because he didn't say anything to Dash so he was a little surprised when suddenly that night Thomas said it.

"You have to hide behind that haystack okay before I come in and call you. Don't come out!" Dash said to Freya asking her to hide behind the hay, Freya seemed to understand Dash's words so she immediately ran towards the hay to hide.

Dash quickly opened the door for Thomas.

"What do you mean by saying that you are leaving?"

Dash asked his older brother somewhat annoyed. Because he didn't know anything but his brother said so, even though Dash was annoyed with him because of what happened that night. But Thomas is also his brother so affection can still be seen in him.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for you because this news is so sudden! I'm going downtown to work with my friend, so you have to be nice to grandma!" Thomas said to Dash as he gently stroked his brother's hair.

Dash didn't say a word in response to Thomas's words. He just kept quiet and then hugged his older brother tightly.

"Gee, don't worry I won't be there long. I just went and worked there for 3 years!" Thomas said as he gently stroked his sister's hair back.

Three years is a long time for him, inevitably life in the village makes many people always go to the city center in search of a better job. And Dash also had to understand the decision that Thomas had made. So he can only give a Prayer for her when she is about to leave.

"Take good care of yourself. Don't make too much trouble there later!" Dash said to his brother.

Dash waved his hand to his older brother who was now in the horse carriage. The journey to the city center is not short because it will take days if taken from the village by horse carriage.

Thomas will go with his two friends to the city center to look for work

"I hope you can find your true self!" Dash said before he finally returned to the warehouse.
