Severed Souls 1

Rob has began visiting the city park lately. First he heard a rumor about a rare type of magician being there. A beast tamer, first when he got there. He could not see anyone fitting the description. Just a cut brown haired girl trying to convince a “pufffil” to stop chewing on a tree.

The little ball of fur with a mouth continues unimpressed though. Maybe for a second he may have reacted but the girl was very unskilled. In the end an adventurer came and killed it. She was very sad.

She came back every day though. Every day Rob thought. How he could convince her that she tamed him?

After all she can't even convince a low level monster. The lowest possible! And no improvement in sight.

Days pass by, he learns to know many sides of the girl. How she loves flowers, but only the yellow ones. How she goes around happily helping everything there is, even a bug that fell on it's back.

How after eating she goes to sleep immediately, on the same spot! ( because of that he had to scare away quite a few creeps, luckily she has a firm sleep).

Taming magic is illegal. In Kstroth Kingdom. A beast tames is to treated no differently than a demonic beast itself. Before that this type of magic was very common. The girl is not very cautious though, it makes him angry.

Today is the day. Waiting will do now good. Hell pretend he is attacking her in a dead end.

First he stole a machine that imitates a small bird. Hid it in a dead end, on the road the girl always takes.

Night comes, the time for her heading back to wherever she lives.

As expected, carelessly she goes help the bird.

Behind her Rob appears, acting aggressive. She starts to scream, but no one hears her. The boy feels kinda bad for scarring her. In desperation she tries to use her magic.

Rob feels nearly nothing but he obediently sits down and starts acting like a dog expecting petting.

The girl is stunned. She comes a bit closer. Jumps back as soon as he raises his head.

She reaches her shaking hand out and pets him. This is his first contact with another human in the last 10 years.

She takes him to her apartment and starts changing in front of him. He turns his wrists to look away.

Still for sleep he gets locked into a separate room, he is not angry. This is plausible.

The apartment is very run down, this is the type of place hookers and sunstone addicts live.

As the next day comes the girl gets ready and opens the door to the room Rob is in slightly.

“Are you awake?” she whispers.

As he rises his head yawning showing off his huge teeth she closes the door and starts to support the wall close to it. Grasping her heart with all might.

“I tamed him. How did I though? Is that not a Tamarin? He showed no hostility ,but I still jumped back he must feel bad about it. Ah, what am I even thinking.” - she thinks out loud and rubs her cheeks.

After that she leaves without Rob. He is quite sad, was he just abandoned?

Seams no. She comes back 20 minutes later with a bucked filled with fish and meat. It must have been worth a fortune.

She enters the room all covered in sweat, barely carrying the thing. “I know you killed people. But now you are mine.” she says whit a warm smile and pushes the bucked towards Rob.

“I never did.” - he thinks but he is happy. He eats the beat by pouring all of it into his mouth.

She takes out a blue rope and ties it to her hand. Than she carefully around his hand.

They leave the building when they go trough the streets everyone is looking at them. Moments later they disappear into the slums of the city. Going trough various streets around many corners into an old bar full of thugs. They all look strong and very aggressive. Rob is on alert.

• Cili! - a man in his 40's hugs her intensely.

• Look dad! I made it I have my own beast. - she says cheerfully. If Rob had a human face he would look very surprised.

• Train hard, maybe you'll become the next Wolollosi. - another frightening man says while taking a sip of beer.

• Don't be stupid. There were only 4 of them in the last 400 years. - she waves her hand cheerfully laughing. The whole bar bursts out laughing. Rob tilts his head.

• Daddy, could you please give me Skathrin Stone. - Cili says in the cutest possible way.

• All for my little princes. Only this one time though. - he says wile stroking her head.

They all wait for some time. The thugs are very interested in the beast that has been brought over.

• Here you go. - Cili receives the stone from her father.

• Now open your mouth Puffy. - She says while holding the stone over him. “Puffy?!” he thinks but obeys.

• Will this be okay. - the man around them whisper among each other while preparing their weapons.

Rob starts to be in agonizing pain. The pain is together with a feeling of lost and hatred. A dark cloud hides him. He is changing. Evolving. This is the effect of the sacred stones. A dark wind breaks most of the shops furniture and injures a few people.

• Should have done this outside. - Cili tries to laugh it off, as she lies on the ground.

• Cililindra Huftropp! How many times will you screw up. - her dad says while flicking her forehead.

• Sorry dad, I'll help cleaning up. - she says apologetic.

• Don't bother rather do something about Puffy. The guests will help. - he says while sending an evil gaze towards the guests.

• Right. - she says cheerfully. (totally spoiled!)

Before them stands a completely new creature 2.6m in size. 4Thick arms with 3 finders each.

A muscled torso. Legs did not change, they became thicker and have now 3 fingers at the end. The tail became longer and started to become thinner at the end but has a spike for stabbing at the end.

The pure black skin contrasts with a head which only feature is a huge mouth with spike like green shining 2 rows of teeth. Instead of wrist eyes. He has now a necklace made out of eyes hanging around his neck. All over his body he has around 7 stripes that when opened are mouths.

Cili looks cheerfully at the result. It might have turned out better than she expected it to be. She just stands with a grinning face looking at it until she goes and hugs Rob.

“Thanks for choosing me as a master.” she whispers.
