15 Chapter 15

In the dark foggy forest , a dark silhouette could be seen walking towards the east . The rustling sound of the slow steps quietly resounded in the quiet forest followed by the eerie hoot of an owl.

A white snowy dog panted and energetically jumped in front of the small silhouette trying to catch his attention .

The silhouette then couched down and started digging the soil and put it on the basket behind his bag .

" Behave Pitzy , I'm busy digging in here . " The voice of the child sounded annoyed yet also restrained .

The silhouette them paused his movements and looked up at a certain tree . Another hoot of an owl resonated and the eyes of the owl stared back at the child's emerald eyes .

" What a weird looking bird ... It's my first time seeing this kind of bird . " Muttered Kryst and beckoned to the bird .

The owl suddenly flapped its wings and dived down to the child . Kryst slowly stood up and caught the owl in his hands.

The owl hooted again and pecked the little elf's hands softly .

" Hello weird little guy ."

- hello beautiful , little , two legged , pointy eared monster . -

Kryst's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the owl's cute voice within his head . " Weird bird , you know how to speak? "

- no ... It's your ability that made you understand my own language . -

" If that's my ability ... Then that's cool . "

- ... Cool indeed , wait what's cool? -

" Amazing "

- oh .. yes it's cool . -

Kryst stoically rubbed the owl's head and leaned over to ask . " What's going on outside? ... I smell bloodshed . "

The owl flapped its wings and answered .

- The White Wolf Tribe besieged the Red Fox Tribe , currently ... The old chief of the fox shapeshifters struggled to counter attack and got defeated , the newly awakened blood warrior brought the remaining fox men away and escaped while the wolf men occupied the tribe place . -

Kryst nodded and took out a dead rabbit and gave it to the owl to eat . The owl happily bit the dead rabbit and flew back to the tree .

Kryst watched it fly back for a while before lifting up his basket and thought out loud .

" That stupid man's facing a big crisis in his life . He took care of me before ... Maybe i should lend a small hand for a while . "

Pitzy rubbed its body on the little elf's body .

- little elf! Little elf! Notice me . -

Kryst pause and look at the snow white dog below .

- you can hear me now? Woff!! When you talk to me! Touch me so you can understand me! I noticed it before . -

" You can really talk? "

- yeah yeah! -

" What's your name . "

- pitzy! -

" No what's your former name . -

- none -

" ... None ... So your name is none . "

- no no! Woff! I don't have a name . -

" Oh ... Then you're Pitzy then . "

- woff! I'm Pitzy now . -

" How old are you? "

- 30 -

Kryst suddenly paused in his tracks . " So you're already 30 years old? "

- yeah yeah -

" What race are you? "

- half wolf , half fox -

" So you are a breed of a fox and a wolf? Where's your mom and dad? "

- ... They are already gone. -

" That's bad , my parents are already gone too . "

Then ... Is Pitzy part of the shapeshifter race? They are kind of human but has the ability to shape shift into an animal .

Kryst was curious so he asked pitzy about it . However , pitzy shook its head.

- I'm not a shapeshifter , I'm a beast breed from a beast Fox and Wold , not the shapeshifters.  We beasts and shapeshifters are differents.  -

" What's the difference? "

- Shapeshifters are born human. While we beasts are born beasts.  -

" ... " Isn't it obvious?

- don't get me wrong little elf , shapeshifters are a type of race who have a blood ability that originated from the God Of War , Ares.  However , we spiritual beasts worship our own god too , which is the God of Moon , Phoebe . -

- we beasts will eventually form our own core to transform into a human and blend in the society and protect ourselves from being hunted or mounted . -

- by then , we'll not be called beasts but demons . Most demons cultivated by absorbing moonlight from the moon above so we worshiped Phoebe , the Goddess of Moon . -

Kryst nodded and crouched down to tap the snow white dog . " That's a lot of information , what do you want? "

The white dog's eyes brightened and panted while sticking out its tongue.  " Blood! Your blood!!! "

Kryst's left brow arc up in confusion.  " Why blood? "

- Your blood has a lot of concentrated mana and vitality and i can feel it! .-

Kryst subconsciously touched his own body then suddenly noticed something . " How did you know i am an elf? "

- isn't it obvious? You're not a human , we can feel it in your own aura . Moreover , i also heard your conversation with that weird powerful tree . -

Kryst nodded then mobilized his thread ability to wound of of his finger .

" Here's your reward , stupid dog . "

The Spitz happily jumped and caught the drop dripping from the elf's finger . It was about to catch his finger to suck more but the elf's vitality was surprisingly stronger than it expected . The wound immediately closed up and stopped it from coveting more .

Pitzy pitifully whinned and rubbed it body like a cat to Kryst's legs acting pitiful .

Kryst flicked its forehead and calmly spoke . " I already know you're only acting . "

Pitzy paused and tilted its head cutely? - what? I can't understand you . I don't understand you . -

Kryst stood up and wiped his hand before walking forward with a dog tailing behind him . " You remember that stupid man we met before? "

Pitzy barked and nodded .

" Can you track his smell? "

Pitzy nodded. - yes , although it was already about to fade .-

Kryst followed Pitzy as they walked southeast . The little elf would then occasionally stop by and dig some herbs he recognized and followed Pitzy when pitzy changed direction .

They gradually left the forest and found themselves in a plain ground . Kryst pulled down the hood of his new onesie , which is in the form of a little bird , behind him are the fake wings which occasionally bounced up and down along with his steps , over his head where beautiful feather like designs made by Yggdrasil .

Kryst touched the fake beak and pulled down the hood and buttoned the bottom over the beak to his collar and became a full bird . Kryst's emerald eyes could be seen through the holes . He looked kinda cute with this attire .

Suddenly , Kryst smelled blood and looked over . He saw far away a group of wounded tribesmen with different colors of hair .

Two figures could be seen among the crown . One girl and one man .

" I see the stupid man , he's wounded . "

Pitzy barked .

The dog's bark somehow attracted the crowd's attention and several pairs of fox like eyes landed on the two figured standing from afar .

" Huh? A medium sized bird and a ... Wolf like fox ? " Muttered a girl with cute voice .

The crowd narrowed their eyes . "  What a peculiar bird ... "

" Peculiar indeed ."

Lienor peeked and saw the onesie little boy . " Crispy? "

Liena looked at his brother in confusion . " You know those two beasts? "

The crowd's eyes moved to the red haired wounded man .

Lienor shook his head . " No ... The bird looking guy isn't a beast , but a toddler . "

The tribesmen's eyes turned weird .

Lienor slowly sat up and beckoned to the little boy far away .

Kryst watched as the point of their weapons were put down . Kryst then slowly stepped out of the tree's shadow and walked forward .

" You're seriously wounded , stupid man . " Childishly voiced out Kryst and unbottoned the button from the beak then slightly lift up the hood .

The little boy's lower face was exposed along with his cute nose . As he spoke , All the tribesmen's eyes locked unto his small mouth.  They immediately concluded that the boy's face must have looked very good . Just his face's lower part was already attractive for them , what's more if the boy really took off the annoying clothes that resembled an eagle's head .

Lienor wryly laughed . " My tribe was besieged by the enemies . "

Kryst walked forward and crouched down . " What a deep wound ... "

Liena curiously stared at the boy's clothes and suddenly felt it was weird . Who made this kind of clothe?

Liena curiously touched the claws on the child's feet . - wow , it doesn't feel like a real eagle's claws but it looked real . -

Kryst looked at her . " She's your sister? "

Lienor nodded , but Liena couldn't understand their language . The tribesmen too couldn't understand their conversation that sounds fancy and cool .

" Why are you here? " Asked Lienor .

" I was worried about you . " Kryst honestly responded .

Lienor suddenly covered his mouth and started sobbing dramatically . Kryst was suddenly hugged by the stupid man and heard . " Oh my dear Crispy , you're worried about me because you like me right? Buhoo , I'm so touched! "
