SAMAEL
Meditating while feeling the emotions of this bastard was hard at first but the moment I convinced him to start meditation it became our thing. Currently we are both in a meditative pose balancing our maagi and the air around us is electrified with power.
2 months have passed quickly and in that time we have being through a lot. Fenrir has grown and so has his power. From the around 3 feet pup I bonded to he now stands around 7 feet with a larger form. His snow white eyes are brighter and his fur seems more firm. He looks more like a beast now than ever.
He didn't change much. Except learning manners to use maagi from me, and how to better use his elements in fights, his power has also increased tremendously. His attitude though, didn't change at all. He is still the prickly, saussy, arrogant bastard he always has been.
I also really didn't change much. These past 2 months I got daily tasks that not only helped me grow my battle skills, but also helped me grow my maagi. My dragon spirit has still not fully revived so I can't tap into it yet. Not having dragon from as a crutch I had to undertand Divine Maagi and the elements I posses. Thank my stars I bonded with Fenrir when I did I could always tap into his speedy healing whenever I got a fatal injury from any of our escapades.
Daily tasks have been crazy by the way. From sending me to treacherous depths to retrieve powerful herbs, plants and fruits for elixirs and potions, and unbelievable materials for forgery, to facing packs and groups of different level beasts. I have even had to face a few S+ Class beasts that almost killed me. If not for Fenrir I sure would be dead by now.
The only problem was I never got another task of taming another beast. I tried to tame other beasts but I couldn't. I could command them with Dragon Command and even comminicate with them but none of them ever bonded with me. I even tried using my blood sometimes, just wasted a lot of bloods. I read all the books on Beast Taming I could buy from the School Library and it all kept telling me I can bond with multiple beasts, but why I am only bonded to Fenrir till now after coming across hundreds of different kinds of beasts still eludes me. I'm not complaining though.
Fenrir has been a great addition, but I want control over my destiny and my beast Taming abilities. It's been 2 freaking months and I have learnt the advance impossible skill of opening portals but something keeps me from portaling out of here. I'm stuck here until I finish the final Trial and it's impossible.
2 months and I still don't know what kind of beast is my Spirit Beast, where it is, or what it looks like. I have tried to echolocate it, to try to feel a bond, even used powerful mind Element spell called Mind Loco to locate it's mind but noning came up. If this bugger is my Spirit Beast shouldn't our spirit be connected? I'm just tired of all this. At least at the Pre-Supreme Training Center I had my tutors and Hestia to keep me company. All I have here is Fenrir and that prickly bastard is getting on my last nerve.
From time to time I now think about my life back home. I lived such a lonely life shutting myself off from everyone. I opened up to no one, not even Medora who has known me since high school when she entered the orphan system too. I found myself even missing Balrun's arrogance, Dreila's childish antics, especially how she runs to me when she pisses off Balrun like I was her protector. Knowing fully well that Balrun could kill me with a wave of his hands. Even Cryyu's aloof attitude would be appreciated now.
Sir First flashes through my mind and a wave of sadness hits me. I don't know what happened to him after I died. I stopped the lady from killing him but I hope my destruction of the temple didn't kill him too! I pray he survived, I owe him a thank you. He was right, and I'm grateful he took a chance of me. If I make it out of this he'll I'll try my best to pray him in life or even if he is dead.
My father is the last person that I remember and pure rage flows through me! I squeeze my hands so hard it bleeds. Does he even remember me? Does he even know I'm missing? The bastard! I haven't seen him since he threw me out at the age of 10. Even though I was adopted I thought he loved me! I learnt early in life love is a facade, everyone respects power, and I will show him power.
"Quit with with the fury! You are breaking my concentration" Fenrir snaps at me and I unclench my fists taking deep breath to calm myself.
"Sorry for the disturbance." I mutter and try to continue my meditation but it proved abortive as my thoughts keep going back to him
"What's with you? Why are you so spooked like you remembered a demon from your past!" He asks and I fall on my back with a loud groan
"Even in hell he still can't let me be!" I groan uncomfortably
"Care to talk about it?" Fenrir asks opening his eyes to stare at me.
"Not really!" I shit the conversation down b fore it can go further, we are not at the sharing secrets stage yet but he keeps staring at me expecting me spill "We have to get packing, we will soon be getting a new task." I add and he looks at me for a while before nodding and letting it go.
"STATS!" I thought as it comes up it's been a while I checked my stats.

There is no much change. Yeah! I got the ice elemnt the moment I bonded with Fenrir and I have been training it well. My eath element limit also increased, and yeah my Divine Maagi got a boost the moment i unlocked my beast Taming powers. Except that all is the same. I've been more focused on finesse and control than power increase. Isis taught me, pure power is good, but finesse and control makes an exceptional magician.
"TASKS" I thought and another screen pops up.

My new task will come up in 5 mins I have to be prepared for anything. Most time the tasks are a warning of impending doom and other times I'm supposed to go look for trouble. I just hope today's own will be less like the one of today. I had to enter the dungeon of poisonous Slythers[1]. God knows I suffered so much bites I would have died if Fenrir healing didn't help burn most of the poison out of my system immediately.
"Aaaasaahhhhhhhhhhh" a shrill voice breaks through the silence in our surroundings and my ears perks up. Am I hallucinating? The voice screams again and I shake my head. That can't be true, the voice sounds human. It sounds like a female in trouble. The fear can be heard in the tremor in her tone. I get to my feet and Fenrir also gets up.
"It's a human and she needs help!" I say packing faster and Fenrir shakes his head.
"How are you sure? What if it's another set of Reclefs?" He says and i relax a little. He might be right. The Reclefs are a funny demi-human creature who could mimic voice, even human. They use it to taunt their prey and bring them to killing distance.
"But we have passed their territory a long whike ago" I reply and Fenrir shakes his head.
"You caused quite a ruckus there, maybe they are back for revenge. It will be unwise to jump into their midst with no plan!" He replies and he is right. Fenrir has always been the jump headfirst into battle person on this trip and I'm amazed even him knows not to face Reclefs unprepared.
The voice echoes again and sounded weak like such person was running. You could hear the sound coming in-between pants.
"What if we are wrong and it's a person in danger? We can't leave them like that!" I yell at Fenrir and he rolls his eyes.
"No human can enter the Beast Realm. Well except you. Beast tamers connect to beasts and pull them out. You are the first person here and might as well be the last! It's highly improbable another human is here" he adds and I was about to argue when my task pops up.

I jump to my feet and with lightning speed start heading for the voice.
"Where are you headed you idiot?" Fenrir asks leaping to catch up to me!
"To complete today's task" I reply him and he groans but we pick up the pace.
Hold on lady! We are coming!
[1] Snake like beasts who could burrow in and out of the earth easily, and even sometimes turn the ground to swamp to capture their prey. Their bite is deadly but less effective the higher your rank to theirs. The lowest was a D Rank, but the Queen was actually an A Rank so she gave me a little fight.
