Chapter 13: Black Fenrir

~Raws~

The black fenrir that me and Russel picked up, still hasn’t woken up . It’s been asleep for 3 days . During the first two days, the fenrir seemed to suffer from recurring nightmares, continuously making a scared expression and sometimes howling randomly . However there are no signs of it waking up .

Because I couldn’t carry it to take a bath, I used the kugh attribute’s purification magic [Clean] to clean it .

When we picked up this black fenrir, Russel mentioned that a black fenrir was rare .

[Ell, are black fenrirs really rare?]

[Yeah, they are only rarely born . ]

Or so Russel taught me about the black fenrirs .

The story he told me, sounded almost like an ancient legend .

Long ago, in the deepest unreachable part of a forest, lived a pack of fenrirs .  An average fenrir can live up to roughly 2000 years due to their potent magical capacity .

After a fenrir’s child is born, until it reaches it’s adulthood at 5 years old, after that, their bodies grow at a moderate pace . They’re usually raised in a pack until they reach 30 years old, afterwards, they leave the pack becoming independent . It is said that they would find their own pair (marriage partner) and give birth to children .

However, it is difficult for an old fenrir to to give birth to an offspring . In a certain pack, there was an old couple who gave birth child . When the child was born, it’s entire body is covered in a black fur, however it’s parents were both a pure blooded fenrir . Of course,  it’s parents felt disturbed because it looked different compared to the other fenrirs . Their fellow fenrirs loathed the black fenrir; to them it was a completely different being . The fenrirs refused to acknowledge the black fenrir as a same existence as their own . The fenrirs called heretic child a (Melan Volk) black wolf .

The black fenrir’s parents pleaded with the head to allow them to raise the child until it reaches adulthood . The village chief accepted, however it was only until it becomes an adult . The black fenrir’s power and ability were exactly the same as the other ones . Still, only because his color was different he was hated by the rest . Whether it lived or died after that, no one knew for sure .

It seems that before Martha and Russel formed their contract, he had met a black fenrir once . A beautiful and powerful black female fenrir .

And that’s how Russel’s story ended .

[I was told that story when I was small . I never thought it was real, I always thought it was nothing but a myth until I met that female black fenrir . It’s quite a surprise to meet one again . ]

[How old are you Ell? Given that you say how weird it was meeting one]

[Hmm, how old I am huh… A thousand years is a safe bet I’d say . I haven’t really been keeping track of them though . ]

So they really live for at least a thousand years .

By the way, he was a hundred years old when he met a black fenrir for the first time .
