Conversation with the “lefer” mother.

I looked around and sat in front of her, taking the opportunity to remove my mask. Both of us seemed surprised for a moment, but soon I saw her surprise fade away.

The theoretical "winged lefer" looked at me curiously and approached slowly. Ron and Aqua also descended, and they seemed to be communicating and playing.

I watched this with a happy and loving smile.

The large "Lefer" was also looking at them and me, seeming to think about something until she decided to speak.

"Well, young one, may I tell my story?"

I snapped out of my state of observation and felt a bit embarrassed for getting distracted.

"Of course."

She seemed to smile in a wolf-like way that was interesting to see.

"Well, actually, I shouldn't last much longer. I had a fight with an old enemy that worsened my injuries, and my life should end soon."

When she said that, I was surprised, and the animals beside me also seemed surprised. Her son had small tears, but he was trying to show a strong front.

I touched his head and looked at her worriedly.

"Is there no way to heal you?"

She sighed.

"Maybe... but nothing you can achieve with your level and the short time we have..."

I know the difference in level and existence between us is high, and probably something of legendary level or higher would only be useful to heal her... and from what she said, it seems urgent...

I looked at the small "wolf" that I was touching with concern.

I never had the feeling of losing a family, but I know it must be hard... and a process of strong suffering... even if he is not human, animals in the normal world can suffer from losses, let alone these with higher intelligence and greater development.

She saw my reaction and appearance.

"It's alright, child. I'm happy for your concern."

She also licked her son's small face and seemed to speak to me and him.

"Death is always something that can exist even in this world where life can be extended and is longer, and even though mourning and suffering exist, I hope my son can find new meaning and continue living his life, seeing how much the world has to offer and forming new bonds."

She looked at her son with affection and love, and even though he was sad, he seemed to understand his mother's words.

I left them to have their moment and conversation.

.

A few minutes later, the son moved away and came to stay near Ron and Aqua, who, having heard the story, stood beside him.

Then she looked at me.

"Actually, I'm worried about him... and he seems to have gotten along well with your tamers and with you."

"He still doesn't have much strength and could end up being hunted by humans or other individuals. You are also strong and a tamer. So, my request is... can you accept him as your tamed and family?"

I was surprised, but it wasn't a bad option since I came here looking for a tame related to the fire element, and this one seems even more useful and powerful... however...

"Well... I think I can accept, but it depends on him too."

I said and looked at him beside me, smiling gently.

"Do you want to come with me?"

He didn't seem to hesitate and came and rubbed his head on my hand and licked my face lightly... Ron and Aqua also came, and I could feel a bit of jealousy from them, so I touched them lightly and comforted them, saying we would have a new member in the family... by the way, I don't know why they are so jealous... although it's a feeling I find cuter than problematic... of course, I didn't know that in the future I would have a certain "big dog" that would be quite jealous... not in a toxic way, evidently.

The mother smiled and said,

"I had already asked him before, and he didn't refuse."

"Oh..."

That's why he spoke with such certainty.

"Come, child."

Her son approached curiously, and I saw her gather blood from one of her paws and form some kind of special symbol/mark that enveloped his body.

It seemed to improve him.

At the same time, she seemed a bit weaker.

"Take some of my blood that will facilitate your evolution and improvement in the future."

"You can go now, I feel he is coming back..."

I indeed felt a presence and existence approaching, so without hesitation,

I activated the skill.

"Dimensional Door."

The space distorted, and a bluish-silver portal appeared like a door.

I entered it with everyone and looked back one last time at the wolf, who shrank to fit in my arm.

She smiled calmly and peacefully.

And I entered the portal, and it closed.

In that place... some players had rumors of boss monsters fighting what seemed like a Lefer and some type of lizard...

But I would only find out about that in the future.

.

I emerged on the other side of the portal in a reasonably isolated forest region.

"Well, friend, can we form the contract?"

He nodded, and despite seeming a bit sad, he appeared to stay strong to follow his future path and new life.

The others moved a bit to the side and observed, and I activated the skill.

"Form contract."

Chains appeared and linked me and his soul in a fixed process.

[Name to form the contract.]

"Entei."

I said, smiling at him as the contract was formed and I touched his head affectionately.

[You have formed a contract with a new Tamed, Entei.]
