Un-Death

Capítulo 1: Yose The Eggdog

It is unknown how he was born or how he was in this world. The people of Entera were not accepting of him due to his odd appearance. He has a slender but muscular type of body, his height being tall also compliments his body type. The odd part is that his skin color is pale white with the facial features of a dog. Due to that, he was not having a good relationship with the humans of Entera. Humans not knowing what type of creature he is or where he came from, decided to first capture him then use him for their own purposes. For years upon years he had to work for many different things. No matter the hardships, he always smiled despite being given impossible tasks and completed them. Holding no grudges against the people who forced him to do so.

While helping with one of the tasks he was given, he made a mistake. He accidentally made a little girl cry even though he was tasked to play with her and make her enjoy her time. He did not understand why that happened or how it happened but the people he was working for turned on him. Some wanted him imprisoned, some wanted him to be sold as a slave and some even wanted him dead. That is when everything went wrong while there was nothing to be worried of about him.

He started to get beaten up on the spot by people. Yose, experiencing this for the first time, simply lay on the ground and began to consider what would have upset the young child to the point that she began to cry. He continued to think till he realized that it might have been triggered by his appearance. He pondered over what to do with himself for a while before yelling, "Stop." The individuals who were physically abusing him paused their assault in order to give him a chance to speak. He stood up slowly and began to speak.

"I didn-"

A gentle touch on his shoulder came from behind. In a way, it was almost comforting. Yose flinched, startled by the unexpected touch. He turned around instantly to find out who had touched his shoulder.

There's a young man there, and he's grinning. He has a handsome face and straight brown hair with brown eyes. He is slender and tall. He is dressed in the kind of clothes that can only be ordered particularly created. In comparison to his other arm, his right arm appears to be artificial. To avoid creating any misunderstanding, he begins to speak. "I kept my eyes on it the entire time. The creature did not act improperly. Since it was probably the young girl's first time witnessing such an intriguing creature, she sobbed. Angry right away, one of the people posed a question. How can you be so certain? All of that is beyond comprehension for mere observation." This response irritates the enigmatic young man, who instantly snaps back. "Even though you guys saw nothing happen, are you guys not beating the beast up? The girl is not only alright, as you can see from her lack of complaints." The audience remained motionless, staring at him and Yose as if surprised by his unexpected statement. The young man resumed his conversation after a little interval. "This thing is going to accompany me. Anybody with a complaint can go complain to whomever they choose." The young man led Yose out of the establishment, despite the fact that antagonism sprang out among several people immediately thereafter.

After about fifteen minutes, the two had some alone time to converse. Without spending any more time, the young man introduces himself. "I'm EnFoure, and I work for the king. "My age is nineteen." Despite his nervousness, Yose introduces himself, surprised to meet such a significant person. "They nickname me the egg dog; my name is Yose. I'm not sure how old I am, hm." EnFoure poses a query after becoming intrigued by Yose's introduction. "Dog...egg? If it's okay with you, could you elaborate?" Since he doesn't know the answer either, he wasn't sure how to respond to this question and just stated..."I assume it to be the shape of my head." EnFoure is aware that his appearance has been the subject of extreme ridicule. Yose is his reply. "How silly of them to ridicule you in that manner. For what purpose were they exploiting you?

Yose responds, "I am not quite sure but I did work for many people without receiving anything back if you don't count food." EnFoure replies to Yose, infuriated by the people's arrogance. "I'll tell you what, put in labor for the kingdom and the king. You'll be respected and treated like a human being. I have a strong intuition that you will contribute greatly to our kingdom."

He says, "It's not nice to work for someone again after getting beat up just 15 minutes ago." "How will I know you are telling me the truth?" Enfoure smiles and answers, amused by this reply. "I was sent by the king to recruit you."
