a badger hole, put some grass and wolf meat. “I need to give you a name.” You can’t get rid of me. She licked my hand. “Paris, that’s what they’ll call you. I’ll come to you. – There are no friends left in the village. At least there will be a friend in the forest. Magical raccoons are good trackers, and a pet can help me teach my abusers a lesson. She seemed to understand and fell asleep in her new home. I ran home. Then he came to check on the beast for two days. She was so happy to see me.
On the third day, I arrived in the small town of Kau. We need to buy new equipment. Maybe I’ll sell the skins in varnish.
“Hey, kid. Selling skins again. – Said the familiar Uncle Yegorian drakonid. Draconians were not much different from humans, except that they had wings and small horns.
“But look at Uncle Yegorian. “I dumped some skins out of the bag on his counter.
“So that’s two coppers. That’s five coppers. He started counting. “So here are five silver coins. And don’t give them to the folder. Or else he’ll get drunk again. Better buy ice cream or sweets. Buy some clothes, and the way you walk like a ragamuffin. By the way, I have one outfit-only one silver one. He pulled out a stale-looking doublet.
“No, Uncle, I’m fine as it is. – I won’t wear such rags.” And someone to show off to. In the forest and in the field, you don’t need beautiful clothes. But in front of a beautiful demon with red hair, I would like to dress up nicely. Something in my heart ached.
“Kid. Why are you holding on to your heart? Fell in love means. It doesn’t matter. I have love potions. Five gold pieces and it’s yours. Add it to the water or pour it on yourself. You can do it all night.
“No, you’re not an uncle. I’m too young for this. – And yet she’s gone, I don’t know where to find her.
“All right, kid. You know where to find me.
I left Uncle Yegorian’s house to buy a bow and arrow. And I know where I need to go. I walked for a long time. There was an inconspicuous sign in a dark corner that read “Stuff”.
“Oh, my dear. Come in. A pleasant-looking lamia was standing behind the counter. Lamias called people who were snakes from the waist down.
“Good day, Uncle Marcos.” I need a new bow, otherwise the old one has become quite bad. I put it on the table. – It’s in exchange for a surcharge. As always. – I’ve done it more than once.
“You’re lucky. We have a new delivery. Some rogue adventurers came in about an hour ago. They sold me a magical raccoon skin and various old equipment.
– And the demon with red hair was called Elsa?
– Yes, a beauty. And you’re a kid who knows her. Liked to see. That’s how my heart rate grew. We lamias have good hearing and vision. Although it is already visible. But here’s my advice. You village boy can’t handle it. She’ll eat you up in bed. Trust my experience. I have a demon wife myself. He even looked sad.
“Where did they go?”
“You won’t catch up, kid. Better look at the goods here is her bow. Old of course but. He pulled it out from behind the counter
I immediately grabbed it. The pleasant smell of demon perfume filled my nose. Same as back then.
“I’ll take it.”
“I see you care about her. I’ll give it to you for a silver one. Although it costs more than ten. But you wouldn’t have left without him. I see the dope of love. Throw it off your head. You don’t need this.
I paid for it, ran around town looking for it, but couldn’t find it, and went home. Then he spent an hour hugging her, hugging her, kissing her. I couldn’t sleep tonight.
The next few days were fun. I used to come to the woods after lunch and play with Parisa. She’s a very cute raccoon. She understood commands. With her, hunting became a game. It’s very fast. If you tell her to find something, she’ll have something in her mouth.” I found medicinal herbs easily. Especially rare ones. Probably a natural talent. Over time, I began to notice strange looks from her. Conscious or something. More and more, I began to trust her. I bathed her, fed her. Treated for lice. She was licking my face. You can even say that he loved her as a pet.
Chapter 2 The Stone
Everything was going well. Five years have passed. I’m eighteen. Legal age. I didn’t have a holiday like in other families. My father still drinks a lot. But apparently, the fact that he’s an elf gives him vitality. Thyme keeps picking on me. But in a different way. He says I’ll be poor forever, and he’s going to college soon. Well, maybe he’ll finally leave me alone. My pet raccoon has grown into a one-and-a-half meter beast. And it helps me a lot. I don’t sell a lot of skins, otherwise they will immediately guess something is wrong and start asking unnecessary questions. In the city, he began casually buying books on animal domestication, along with with many other books on herbs and mushrooms. Gold had to be spent on two interesting books called “Taming demons” an old book completely worn out and “The Evolution of animals”. I trained her on it. The book is very interesting, it says that all magical animals can evolve into a human form. I really like the idea of making Paris human. He will help me in the field and in the processing of hides, too. Maybe I’ll teach you how to cook. But here’s where she’ll live. Although what to think about it, she is still not a human. The demon lady was never seen again. Too bad she was beautiful.
But while I was thinking, my pet ran off somewhere. I looked around, but there was nowhere to find it. I went to look for it. I see he’s digging the ground. Again, probably found a den of giant worms with a meter growth and wants to profit. I didn’t bother him. Although it is tame, but when there is it is better not to approach it. Instincts, after all. But this is something else. He pulls out a rock. Large in appearance meter by meter. Coming up.
“What you found, girl.” When she heard me, she began to lick my hand. So affectionate. Hisses on the stone, scratches. – What is it?’ It looks older. ‘I put my hand up.
“Hey, kid. So a new vessel has arrived. We need to go around. “A strange substance has entered me. She tried to take control of me. But something didn’t work out. “What a strong spirit. It happens in two cases. Or you’re a hero like never before. Or you are so much rotten life that you outplayed it and did not bend to the changing world. I bent it down myself.
“I knew that the soul of the demon lord Alejandro was here in the woods since I was a child. So I trained from the book “Taming Demons” that I bought a long time ago.
“Then you can’t be conquered. So we’ll have to be friends. As you know, my name is Demon Lord Alejandro. How many years have I been in my prison, mortal friend?
“Five thousand years. And I’m not a mere mortal I’m a quarter elf and therefore immortal. So be more polite. Otherwise, I know a spell that will drag you back into the stone.” Check my thoughts, demon.
“So that’s it. You’re an interesting specimen. An elf and a catman indeed. You really know the spell. You’ve prepared well. This is the first time this has happened to me. I come to this world like this periodically once in thousands of years. Before that, all the people who found me were weaklings. And you’re absolutely unique. That is, special.
“I know that already. Now here are my rules.
– So it’s very interesting that you also set a rule for me.
“And shut up, demon. I raised my hand to the stone, and Parisa licked the other. “If you say a word, I’ll put it back and bury it.” He was silent. “First, I decide when you can talk, but at other times you don’t. Second, you will share your knowledge with me, but you will not tell me what to do. Third, any disobedience from you
