บท 42: Unexpected Encounters and Strange Pacts
In front of both friends, a two-meter golden ball had been thrown in front of them, being stopped by the legs of the powerful squirrel.
"What do you think you are doing? Be more careful", exclaimed Dave to Beth, who returned splashing water everywhere.
"Listen to me before you complain. This, my little friend, is one of the most precious stones I've ever seen in my life. It has a flawless finish, I don't know why a human would have something like this, but it's really amazing, don't you think?" she asked them, holding the ball firmly with her paw.
***
Inside the ball, the boy in a diving suit had regained consciousness little by little. The first thing he could see was upwards, where the huge paw and claws of the sea monster had him on the ball, causing the boy to panic.
He tried to calm down and checked if his suit was damaged. And indeed, it was.
The boy stood frozen, feeling as if his soul was leaving him.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
Now, he was in who knows where, without any thing or weapon to defend himself, and barely surviving by the giant ball where he was, and if he barely came out, that legendary beast would probably kill him.
"Woof!"
A bark was enough to snap him out of his panic, immediately turning back to see a Shiba Inu puppy pressing its paws against the metal of the ball, smiling with its cute face.
That brought him a little more calm, but also left him more confused.
"What's this puppy doing here? This place, wherever it is, is not a place for someone as small as him."
Next to the puppy, there was a squirrel inspecting the ball. It tried to hit the ball, but it stayed still.
The boy knew well that no one could break it, as it was made of the most resistant material in the world, so at least for that fact he felt relieved.
But again, he panicked.
"If I stay trapped in here, I survive. But, also, I'll run out of food..."
The puppy, on the other hand, barked happily at the giant ball in front of it.
The legendary beast would peek to get a better look at it and smiled.
"If you want, I'll open it," it said to the puppy, while putting the tip of its claw on the ball.
"Damn, no, no, no."
Now he would be an easy prey if he didn't do something quick, but at the same time, he doubted that even a legendary beast could easily open the golden ball.
Schink
But, with a fine and delicate cut with its claw, it managed to split it in half, opening up to them the person inside.
And in front of him, his death was imminent.
"Okay, calm down. Calm, calm, calm, calm, calm..."
The boy would stand up, take a breath, and exhale. He closed his eyes for a moment...
And upon opening them, he saw himself now on the leg of the legendary beast, lifted in the air.
"Whoaaaaaa!? Hey, hey, please, let me go, seriously. I-I don't want to hurt anyone, really," exclaimed the boy, under the serious gaze of the legendary beast.
It would open its mouth, showing its huge fangs and long tongue...
To speak.
"Of course I won't kill you, as long as you give me that little suit you're wearing, kiddo," the legendary beast said, putting a claw on him.
The boy would be in shock, trembling in the terrible situation he was in.
Instantly, he took off the diving suit he had, standing in his underwear in front of the beast.
He heard how the squirrel and the puppy barked and squealed at what the beast was doing, but it finally left him in the cave, and then broke the suit's electrocution button with its claw.
Everyone fell silent, watching the boy standing in his underwear in the cave.
But, instead, the legendary beast simply smiled at him.
"Well, since, three pets are better than two, right?
The boy caught on late to that important fact he had overlooked.
The legendary beast could communicate with him?!
And worse, a pet?!
"No, no, no."
The boy quickly turned to look at the puppy, seeing it wagging its tail happily towards him.
The squirrel, on the other hand, seemed to be on the defensive with its fur bristled. It would be speaking to the giant beast, and it nodded.
"Yes, I know, but he seems unarmed. This boy can play with you guys as long as I'm not here, you'll see how surely you'll have fun."
At the same time, the beast smiled as it put a claw against the boy's neck.
"And if you ever think of harming your two new companions... I'll kill you."
With that said, it would separate from them, leaving the objects in the cave; then lay down on the water, taking a break...
The boy, amidst all that was happening, remained frozen.
...
"What... is all this? Damn..."
