Chapter 808 The Gray Fenrir

-----

The night went by, and as we enjoyed the dinner together, which was a feast of grilled fish, seafood stew, rich and fresh salad, and omelet all made by Aquarina, Arafunn, and Mist, we talked about many things, trying to cheer up Luck while doing so.

"Agartha sure sounds like a wonderful place…" Luck said. "I wonder if it could be possible for us… to live there? Maybe… even bring the people of the other village, so they could be safer."

"Of course." My father nodded. "As one of the rulers of that place, I\'ll guarantee their safety, and a good spot for all of them there. Of course, to earn their keep, they\'ll need to work hard."

"I understand!" Luck nodded. "We Anima-kin are hard worker people, as long as everyone can get a bed and some food every day, everyone will be happy with just that."

"They will get much more than that, boy, don\'t worry." My father smiled. "Perhaps other places in the country would not consider such a thing, but Agartha is different, we\'re building this city so it can be a place where all people of all kinds of races and interact and live happily together, peacefully."

"There\'s no discrimination at all in there, we were all demons and nobody said a thing about it!" Mist said with a smile. "People there is really tolerant! And there are some Anima families there too, like the Mermen people."

"R-Really? Oh wow, that\'s so cool!" Luck was excited. "So many different people everywhere… It is like a dream come true. Lara will… she\'ll surely love the place."

"I\'m sure she will!" I nodded. "We\'ve been working together to make it a better place these last years."

"Even as young as you are?" Luck was amazed.

"Of course, our age doesn\'t matter." Aquarina nodded. "With Sylphy and everyone else, we completed several big quests that improved the entire city\'s economy and the happiness of the citizens."

"We also repaired that old and worn-down wall and made it capable of even resisting the invasion of those giant bug monsters." Zack smiled proudly.

"N-No way! That\'s so cool!" Luck was even more amazed. "It will be like the safe haven I always dreamed of… Now I\'ll definitely get Lara! I\'ll make sure to… make her happy. I want her to keep smiling like she always does. I want to make her the happiest girl in the world…"

"Oh my, so cute." Celeste giggled.

"Hehehe, so romantic!" Mist smiled.

"You have a long history together, I see." Celica said.

"A-Ah… Well, yeah, a bit." Luck sighed with embarrassment. "She did said… That she loved me. But I never… I never told her my feelings back. Now I feel quite awful about it, and now that she\'s gone and…!"

"Don\'t worry." My father patted his back. "She\'s not gone, we\'ll find her, and you\'ll tell that girl you love her."

"Uncle…" Luck sighed, smiling a bit, although I could tell he was containing his tears. "Thanks…"

"Now let\'s enjoy the rest of the feast!" Arafunn said. "We\'ve made enough to feed a whole battalion, so better get to chow down!"

"Sylphy! Here!" Aquarina was constantly trying to feed me herself. It was something she must have heard from somewhere that was "what couples did" or something…

"Nom, hmm, it is really tasty." I smiled. "Though, you don\'t need to feed me like this…"

"B-But that\'s what couples do!" She said while blushing.

"I\'ve never seen my parents do that…" I sighed.

"E-Eh? But you don\'t think its cute at least?" She sighed.

"Well… Yeah, it is adorable." I sighed. "But let me feed you as well now~"

Like that, we spent the night eating and enjoying ourselves, still noticing the glares of the wolves in the distance. After that, well, we just went to sleep until the next morning. Though sensing the wolves presences as they spied us from the windows of the house and even sniffing around the entire building was really annoying.

But I contained myself from telling them to mind their own business, after all we were the ones intruding into their territory, and they were letting us stay and all without complaining, so… yeah, I guess they can sniff all they want, ugh.

The next morning came quickly, and as we were having breakfast calmly, suddenly, the wolves finally showed up.

They gathered in front of us, over a dozen of them, with deep glances, unbefitting of just random beasts. They were led by a single, and very tall Gray Fenrir.

While the other Gray Wolves were around three meters each (very big), the Gray Fenrir was 7 meters of height, a tall puppy I would say.

"So you\'re here." My father said.

"We\'ve come to see the inheritor of our Queen." The Gray Fenrir said. "Don\'t get in the way, human."

"T-That would be me…" Luck said nervously, stepping in.

The wolves sniffed him as they walked around him, as the Fenrir looked down on him threateningly.

"So it was you all along, I see." The Fenrir sighed. "While the rest of the pack seems much stronger than you, you\'ve got some potential… However, with your current strength, you\'re not deserving of Elise\'s Inheritance!"

"E-Eh?!" Luck and everyone else was shocked.

"But the kids cleared all the Swamps!" My father protested. "What else did you even wanted?"

"Indeed, they did a really good deed, and for that, you have our eternal gratitude…" The Fenrir said, sighing. "However, Elise\'s inheritance is a power that cannot be simply and easily bestowed to such a young, and unexperienced pup as this one! Come back in a few more years, when you\'re much older, and stronger."

"B-But I need the power now… If not Lara… I need to rescue her!" Luck implored them.

The wolves began growling at him because he was getting a bit disrespectful with their King. However, the Fenrir sighed.

"That\'s enough." He said, stopping the wolves. "If you\'re so urgent in getting this power… to save someone important to you then… I have a proposition, one last trial, one extremely difficult at that. If you can accomplish it. I shall lend you Elise\'s Inheritance."

"W-What sort of trial is it?" Luck asked.

The Fenrir smiled proudly, rising his head.

"You have to fight me and win."

"W-What?!"
