Mythological Eleven

Chapter Twenty Five | Learning With Sakuma

[Okay so you guys asked for it, Sakuma is in this one and it's his time to shine! Enjoy~!]

Y/n POV

It's been about a week now, and my shoulder is healing nicely. Turns out Gouenji cares more about me than I thought... Anyway, I'm just going for a stroll in the woods now. I think it'll help.

"What on earth are you doing in a place like this, huh?" I quickly turned around to see a person standing there, seemingly normal. He was wearing a plain long coat and dark trousers, with lace boots. He had a leather seemingly hand-made belt, holding a lot of bottles and containers, like a sorcerer or something would have. I couldn't see his right eye because of an also seemingly hand made eye patch
Probably a monster in disguise.

"Uh... What? Who even are you?" The blue haired stranger laughed. "The names Sakuma, Sakuma Jirou, and you appear to be in the completely wrong area of the forest." I blinked. "Huh? Wrong area...?"

"Well duh, you'd probably be dead right now. Forest sprites aren't very friendly." He said. "O-oh..." "Why don't you come back with me for a bit? You're interesting- and pretty cute." He grinned. He held a hand out too me and I took it, slightly hesitant. He unclipped a tiny glass bottle from a loops on his belt, and without warning smashed or on the ground.

A colourful must surrounded us for a moment, before it cleared, showing a different surrounding. One I recognised as the wizards' home. Whaaaaaaat. "No, I'm not a mage nor wizard, I just live with them cos I'm a close friend." He explained, leasing me inside.

"Oh, Sakuma, you finally got her?" I recognised Kidou when I saw him, from last time, but there was no sign of the other one, Genda. "Uh huh." "So, Y/n, last time you were here, you were in a bit of a situation. Weren't you?" I nodded. "I take it that didn't go too well, judging by the choker." I glanced down at the Gothic artifact [I know I spelt it the American way but I prefer it like that] and sighed. "Yeah..."

"Well, why hasn't Shirou taken it off yet?" "Huh?" "You belong to him, correct? Then he can take it off. You're welcome." I blinked in surprise. "He... What?" "Yep, now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to work. Sakuma, why don't you go teach her a bit about our world. It would be useful for her to know." Sakuma nidded. "Okay then."

"And that's all you should know about sirens really. Who would you like to learn about next?" I'm say with Sakuma now, we're sat in a room with loads of bookshelves in. You could call it a library, only think difference is that it's magical, by the looks of it. "What about Werewolves? It would help you, wouldn't it?" "Yeah, I think so." "Okay, let's start with this one..."

[So what you're reading next is what's written in the book, just to clear it up.]

Werewolves, in the simplest terms, are humans that can transform to wolves. In their natural state, Werewolves look like regular humans, but with the key addition of easily noticeable wolfish ears, usually atop their heads. If they so wish, they may hide them, but most prefer not to.

Werewolves usually have quite ranged natures, but each werewolf shares one key trait: lust. Every werewolf, like every monster, wants a belonging, a human female (or on very rare occasions a male) to call their own. Sometimes fights occur over this, but often if Werewolves are from the same family, they'll share.

Werewolves are dangerous creatures, and should a human ever come in contact with them, they should abandon all hope immediately. The werewolf will want one of two things: a belonging or a meal. Yes, that's correct, Werewolves eat humans. It's a common trait among monsters, to eat humans, but Werewolves are most known for it. 9 times out of 10, they'll go for males, an instinct that's been around for thousands of years, but if they haven't eaten in so long to the point of near death, a female will suffice.

Werewolves will never eat their belonging though, they protect them at all costs, so that they may have them all to themselves. They are extremely overprotective, and will not hesitate to shed blood to do so.

In conclusion, Werewolves are some of the worst monsters, and should be avoided at all costs. Unless you're their belonging, then don't try to avoid them, as that won't end well for you.

Wow. I didn't know they were that bad... "So, that basically covers Werewolves. My god, look at that, dusk already! We'd best get you back to Shirou and Atsuya, they won't be pleased if you're gone for much longer. In fact, I think they will probably be pretty angry when you do get back. Not to worry, you'll be alright, I'm sure."

"Well this is where I leave you. It was great spending so much time with you, bye cutie." I watched Sakuma disappear back into the depths of the forest, and felt my hands trembling while I stood in front of the door. 'They won't be mad, right? But the book...' Making up my mind, I raised a shaky hand and knocked gently but firmly on the door, creating three taps. I hope to god that they don't have a problem with me.

Yeah, I know, it's been so long since this book got updated but I felt like it's too precious to just abandon. Well, any suggestions for next chapter? Comment your ideas! That's all for now, love you all, bye!
