Chapter 10: A new tamer
Simon felt a wet feeling on his face. He brushed it off, he was very comfortable and suck back into his dream once more. A dream of cakes, he loved cakes. He was only exposed to cakes since he had 'grown up' but he was addicted to them. He opened his mouth as he saw himself about bite into one of those delectable delights.
Something shoved into his mouth, it was long and wet.
Cake did not taste like that, this was the first inconsistency. The second, the object seemed to be moving. It was soft and wet, but no matter how much he chewed on it, there was barely a dent in the soft slimy texture.
More weird things started popping up in his wonderland. Hot wet wind seemed to gush into his face, and there seemed a weight that had him cocooned, even though there was nothing really wrapping him.
His eyes slowly opened as his sleeping mind could no longer handle the dissonance of all the things that were happening to him. The first thing he saw was two blue canine eyes looking right at him. Simon wanted to scream, but the appendage in his mouth had completely robbed him of his voice.
His eyes lit up in horror while the opposing eyes lit up in joy. She popped her tongue out his mouth and gleefully cried out.
"Master!!!" There was a rapid whoomphing sound behind her as she started slobbering her long canine tongue all over his face.
"What?..." Was all he could manage to say as his sleep-addled mind was still trying to catch up.
"Master!!! Master!!! You are awake!!!" She kept yelping in his face in between her vigorous slobbering.
Simon tried to move out of the way only to find he was unable to put any strength into his body. All he managed was to move his head around.
This act brought accurate intelligence back to his groggy self. His eyes widened as he focused on the slobbering monster girl.
"Are you my bonded?" Now that he was more aware, he realized how cracked and weak his voice sounded. Both her ears which were lying flat on her head stood straight up as her hips started wiggling side to side, the whoomphing increasing even further.
"YES!!! YES!!!" She exclaimed wildly.
"You are my master!!! I have a master!!!" She practically howled out the last words. Then she started rubbing herself into him in a very excited manner.
Simon was now aware of the miserable state his body was in, he was completely paralyzed. But that could not stop the smile that formed on his face. Whatever this monster girl was, her bubbly energy was infectious.
He had the urge to touch but like nothing else, his hands could not gain any motion.
Then it hit him. He was now a tamer, a legitimate tamer with his first bonded monster girl. He would be jumping for joy right now if not for his inconvenient situation.
He felt it then, the tether that formed between him and the monster girl. An invisible thread of fate that was... limitless. It was completely transparent and formless yet had an unfathomable weight as it waved about in the air. Divine, was the only word in his vocabulary that properly describe that tether.
Jubilant excitement wrapped his feeble form as he witnessed the tether between them. The tether seemed to respond as it moved in accordance with his excitement, expanding and stretching. It slowly turned into an invisible blanket before covering in it's inviting power
The warmth seemed to send strength across his weak vessel. It was small at first, so small it was hard to notice. Then it started building, slowly. That did not last long, soon the rise kept rising, the power flooding his system and reaching unknown heights.
The monster girl, his monster girl jumped off him but still kept her eyes on him, a mixture of excitement and adoration on her face. Just in time too, as the energy in his body now reached an extreme crescendo, and he needed to let it out.
She looked smaller, somehow, but that fact meant little. He needed to get out of the house, come hell or high water.
What his overwhelmed mind did not notice was that both he and his monster girl did not even look remotely human anymore. Both of them looked like massive bipedal wolves, one whose fur was snow white, the other larger one whose fur was ebony black.
Both of them looked at the door from which the man of the house had left, a ferocious gleam in the eyes of both apex predators. They bolted, covering a few feet in an instant as both crashed into the enchanted piece of wood only to be stopped dead in their tracks as the impact barely did anything to the door.
What it did do was alert the four other tiers 7 monster girls in the house all with the order to keep him inside.
…Needless to say, they managed to wrangle the two wild animals with minimal damage to the furniture, one extremely annoyed and the other extremely excitable as she thought even her capture was a part of some play.
Thus concluded the first taste of Simon's journey as a tamer.
