《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 24 : New Pets?
Advertisement
Lloyd, Miriam, Ren and Jenny were also joining Kael outside. Clearly they were seeing the many beasts that were before them.
"Kael? Are those wolves?" Miriam asked. They had a wolf's appearance but they were far bigger.
"Hon... I don't think wolves are supposed to be the size of pick-up trucks." Lloyd said.
"They aren't wolves... They're Fenrirs... They are the servants of Father and Mother Nature... Why are you here?" Kael asked, the Fenrirs were like jewels in terms of their beauty. Wolves were known to be majestic but Fenrirs are a class of their own. Diamonds when compared to the wolves. Yet, they did not seem hostile. Instead they went closer, giving soft growls to Kael. Followed by sniffing Kael's hand, then pouncing on him. Licking his face off.
"Kael!" Lloyd panicked only to see Black Symphony stop him from going any further.
"It's fine, they are just greeting him. The Fenrirs are a playful bunch." Black Symphony explained as the Fenrirs just kept pouncing over.
"Alright alright! Get back for a bit." The Fenrirs then went on over to Kael's family, they circled them around. Where a Fenrir pup in cobalt blue moved closer to Ren, wagging its tail as it rubbed its head on Ren's leg.
"It's okay, they're friendly..." Ice Reaper formed a stick of solid ice and passed it to Ren. Ren threw it away, seeing the cobalt blue pup run to the stick, picking it up with ease. Then running back to Ren passing the stick back to him.
"Seems like that one's friendly with you Ren." Kael said, then watching a violet Fenrir go to Jenny, nuzzling its nose to her fingers.
"Kael? Is this safe?" Kael nodded to Jenny as the Fenrir jumped over her, nuzzling her face as it tails wags happily.
"Seemingly a bit friendly for a bunch of fenrirs? I'm used to them trying to eat my face off." Nelista said as some of them growled at him.
"Of course nothing has changed... We are still the same as before." They heard the voice, the other Fenrirs moved away. The largest among them rivaled a 3 storey building, the Fenrir stared at Kael. This particular one was midnight black with its majestic blue eyes that could gaze into the souls of many.

"It has been many cycles since I've seen you..." Fenrir said as he leaned close to Kael. Rubbing its snout to Kael's cheeks.
"Hati... Where is Skoll?"
"Here!" Kael was thrown up into the air as a white Fenrir leaped up to get him. Where Kael had grabbed the coat, as the Fenrir landed back to the ground.
"You're too playful, Skoll." Kael complained while Skoll just laughed it off like it was nothing. Kael got off Skoll's back then looked at the dozens of Fenrirs.
"Why are you all here?" Kael asked.
"We're just... Comfortable here... It's like a nice resting station." Skoll said as they heard a roar from above, it was a dragon.
"Is that?! Is that a dragon!?" Lloyd panicked as he grabbed Ren and Jenny.
"It's okay dad, he's a friend." Kael said, though the assurance was not easy for them to accept it.
"So this is your family, Avatar?" Veriskua the Iron Dragon spoke to Kael. A voice that was deep, shaking the earth with his very whispers.
"Try whispering a bit lower, old friend. You might destroy our new house over there." Kael said as Veriskua nodded.
"Is this better?" The voice was lower and at least it did not shake the earth, that was a lot of control on Veriskua's part. Then Kael noticed two dragons that were small, they were far too small to be considered as dragons in the normal spieces. These little ones could fit in your hand similar to a normal reptile.
"These two are the off spring of my younger sister. Ventulga, the Faerie. These two are known as Pixie Dragons." Their roars were like little chirps, their scales were not sharp but it was smooth and had a delicate sensation to it. The two Pixie Dragons approached Ren and Jenny. Flying into their hands and laying down.
"Oh.. Seems as if they like the energies that are being emitted by your siblings... Though Hati and Skoll... You two seem to be staring at the Avatar's father." Veriskua spoke to Hati and Skoll.

"Well, we are the grandparents to most of these Fenrirs. It would seem more fitting that we stay by their sides don't we?" Hati spoke while Skoll was just grooming the younger pups.
"How are we going to feed them all? Do we have enough money for this?!" That was Miriam's concern, which was quite comical if you think about it. You have magical beasts that are in your lawn, and the only thing you think about is whether you can feed them.
"They do eat food but if this place is a place for them to rest. Then they won't necessarily have to eat food anyway." Kael said as Hati, Skoll and Veriskua nodded.
"Your son has just answered your question. Not to worry about us. With how vast this place is, we can make the soil grow fertile to plant things." Hati said.
"Yeah, so don't worry about us. The fruits here are nicer too. Meats can be nice to eat once in a while. Besides...I'm kinda... Gaining weight." Skoll spoke up to the remark.
"Little Ren and Young Jenny. Those Pixie Dragons seem to like being around you. So why don't you just bring them inside. Not to worry, if they need to use the toilet. They will just step outside. Pixie Dragons are a bit more temperamental with food. Delicious food is enough for them. They can't speak yet, but they will soon." Veriskua said as he covered his wings to his back, then laying his body down to the earth.
"Our descendants will just roam around and play around." Skoll said as Kael turned to his mother.
"Mom. If you want to plant anything or grow any kind of veggies. Just talk to the Fenrirs. They'll help you. And don't worry about plowing the land. They can do it too." Kael said as the Fenrirs howled in affirmation. The Pixie Dragons woke up, then they climbed over Jenny and Ren's shoulders. Chirping to them as they rub their heads over Jenny and Ren's cheeks.
"Very affectionate aren't they?" Veriskua whispered to Jenny and Ren.
"Yeah. Erm.. Can we keep them?" Ren turned to Lloyd who was still trying to wrap his head around the entire situation. First there were the wolves but they aren't wolves, they're Fenrirs. Now there's a dragon and then there's the two little dragons.
"Just think about how much fluff... That they can provide." Kael said as the Fenrirs came closer, fur that was softer than sheep yet fluffier than anything they have ever touched. Lloyd was slowly losing the argument as the Fenrirs were very friendly. Coming closer to be petted or have their fur stroked. They were wagging their tails like whippers of a car that had been set to auto on max speeds. They were far too happy to be near humans and this is a surprise even for Kael.
Fenrirs don't behave like this. They are majestic, they are noble and powerful. Yet, what Kael was seeing in front of him were just these goofy balls of fluff that demands affection. This has completely shattered the opinions of Fenrirs that he had previously.
"I swear this must be some elaborate shitpost." Kael whispered to himself as he continued petting the Fenrirs. Even watching them do tricks such as rolling over, playing dead, shaking hands with people.
"Oh, we had that prepared. Because according to Father and Mother Nature. Humans make pets do tricks." Skoll said where Kael let out another deep sigh. Seeing his blades seemingly happy to have them around. Radiant Sonata threw a stick which three Fenrirs went after it. They were fast, leaving trails in their movement.
"Dad?" Lloyd raised his hand, then he fainted from the sight.
"This'll take some time." Kael said as he brought his father into the house, where the Pixie Dragons followed Ren and Jenny in.

On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
8 142The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman
