— "It's not enough for you to be smart. Look well. Even the staff bowed their heads."
He pointed around. Indeed, the frightened staff had lost themselves.
— "You don't even know who I am."- continued Fenrir, lowering his voice.
Shohruh, however, shrugged his shoulder and replied casually:
— "I spit on who you are."
These words sounded like lightning inside the Hall. The prisoners in the room suddenly kept alert, even the most shaky criminals waited for Fenrir's reaction.
Fenrir was silent at first, then laughed in a wild voice:
— "Hey, human baby... do you know, I am the child of Mabud!"
His shout shook the whole hall. All the prisoners and staff were even worse frightened. Their faces displayed panic and insecurity. If this was true, he was not an ordinary prisoner, but a divine being.
But Shahruh was calm. He stared at Fenrir with cold eyes and said in a low but clear tone:
— "Mabud has no children, damn."
Fenrir's face darkened and his jaws began to creak. His muscles became tense, his nails came out under his paws. These words had scratched his heart.
— "Sen... damn stupid..."- whispered Fenrir, with his anger restrained by bazor.
The people behind him moved. The strongest within the prisoners shook to battle in anticipation of Fenrir's gesture.
Shohruh observed their movement and confessed to himself inside:
— "I may have been strong, but now it is clear that I will lose to them. It's better to agree with them than with him. To get out of here..."
He moved his lips and then looked straight at Fenrir:
— "Maybe we will agree?"
Inside the room, silence again subsided. This silence was not the previous fearful silence. It was the silence before the battle.
Fatal silence reigned inside the Hall. Everyone's gaze was set on the Shohruh. She remained motionless for a few seconds, then... bowed his head.
All prisoners and staff opened their eyes big in amazement. "How could it be?! He bowed his head, even if he did not kneel in front of Fenrir!"
Shahruh spoke in tone without any fear being felt:
— "Forgive, Fenrir."
A slight noise was raised in the Hall. The prisoners would whisper, and the staff would stare at him in horror. Fenrir was impressed at first, and then... he laughed and laughed.
— "Hahaha! You are indeed a very brave and intelligent young man! I liked it, human child!"
Fenrir straightened Gaddi and stared at him with his sharp gaze:
— "I invite you to my band."
After this, there was another noise in the room. All the prisoners were shocked by Fenrir's decision. After all, Fenrir never simply accepted someone into his group.
Shohruh responded silently to Fenrir's suggestion:
— "I accept."
These words resonated throughout the prison. In the eyes of the staff there was an alarm, and the prisoners watched him with anger and admiration.
But Fenrir smiled with arrogance. He thought that Shohruh was afraid of me. He was assuming that Shohruh felt overwhelmed and wanted to join him.
But Shohruh's inner opinion was different:
— "Using them is the perfect choice for me to get out of prison."
Shohruh raised his head and his gaze clashed with Fenrir. There were only two things in these glances – the game of arrogance and reason.
Fenrir announced his decision, which surprised everyone:
— "Our new brother!— - he screamed with all his voice.
The hall was then filled with applause from the prisoners. Joining the group was very difficult. Fenrir's team had only five members and had to beat each of them, but Shohruh was personally accepted by Fenrir without going through these stages.
It surprised everyone.
Prisoners whispered:
— "Fenrir himself took him into the group!"
— "There is something in this child... he is not an ordinary prisoner."
— "No one has yet been accepted in this way!"
Fenrir looked at Shohruh testingly. He thought for a moment:
— "This guy is very strong... Even my people are afraid of me, but she did not feel fear."
Fenrir looked at him with his gaze and thought deeply:
— "Or is he very strongly afraid of something stronger than me?.."
This thought sounded in his mind. Who was the force that forced Shahruh to act without any fear?
