It was a night filled with extreme anger radiating from both beasts. The peaceful forest that I was in before shifted into a woodland that will be their ground for relinquishing the rage that they have felt for each other since the first time that they have met –which was a few seconds ago-.

I stood in between them, picking up the fruits that Slade made me drop while they growl at each other. Their voices were raspy yet whole. They were deep and thunderous. The strength made my ears release a line of blankness. The intensity caused vibrations throughout my whole body but my stomach still overpowered it all.

Should I have peaches or apples?

I looked at Slade who bared his teeth at Caleb who was now transforming into Fenris. Slade still have different eye colors. It would seem that both of them will not back down. What should I do to prevent bloodshed? Slade attempted to let out one loud snarl again with his body ready to attack Fenris. I took the opportunity to shove the peach inside of his mouth to test if food will solve the issue between them.

Slade's eyes widened and he tried to find a way to remove the sweet fruit. It would seem that his mouth was only capable of opening itself that wide when he was screaming our eardrums off. I stood in front of Slade and faced the assaulting Fenris. I stood on my ground and cocked my head to the side as I waited for him. Slade was making choking noises and as Fenris was closing the distance, I opened my arms and a yawn suddenly escaped from me.

"Fenris, I am sleepy."

The wolf's active legs abruptly shut together which only left his butt to close the distance undesirably. Fenris looked down on me and then gave my face a lick. I grabbed on to Fenris' black fur and then walked with the fruits in my arm. We sat beside the pyram that Slade made and then I began to fill my stomach.

I perceived the sound of Fenris growling in his throat. I looked up to him and found that he was still focused on ripping Slade into shreds. Slade successfully spit out the fruit and he wiped the drool from his lips with his arm.

"Slade, would you like to sit beside me?" I asked.

The man gave us a glare but he accepted the offer. I was trapped in a line of a tensed atmosphere while I ate a peach. It would seem that food solves all arguments. The next time someone fights, I will grow a fruit tree from where they stand. Hopefully they know how to climb down because I will be growing a very tall tree that will surpass Yggdrasil.

If Lucius was here, he would be very much delighted on how I was improving with my interaction with others.

"Is there any lake that we can bathe in tomorrow?" I asked. Fenris started to speak but his words came out as short and mild howls in different pitches. I listened to every word and when he was done, I stroked his chest.

"Thank you for trying Fenris," I praised emotionlessly and looked at Slade who was staring at us in blankly.

"You understood what he said?" Slade questioned.

"No." With that, Fenris whimpered sadly. "But his effort is plausible." I heard Fenris bark happily.

Slade stared at me for awhile with no emotion in his face before he answered me. "There is a small lake near here but that is an Asperger's territory."




I narrowed my eyes from his concern. Why would Slade have problems with that? I do not see any reason to worry. "I don't see any problem about that. They are delicious."

"The Asperger?" He asked for confirmation. His face was twisted in disgust. I thought he loved vegetables?

"Asparagus is crispy and delicious. I specifically like them in vegetable stew."
