Upon arriving at the back door near the forest, I saw a large iron trap. "Had his voice heard at home." The trap is like a rusty iron bars.
BRACKET.. BRACKET... BRACKET...
GGRDRR....
The sound of clashing and growling sounded from within the iron trap.
The creature in the cage was almost the same height as me, with its large wounded body and its mouth filled with the blood of the young horse under its feet.
CRAAAAARRR...
The wolf pointed its fangs at us especially towards Djordan who was holding a magic rifle on his shoulder.
"Fuck this caught too."
"Did you lure him in with the corpse of a horse that just died?" I asked.
"That's how it is, the horse died a day and this group of bastards attacked me." Djordan kicked the cage with his foot.
CLANG.
"Today Is the Day of Your Death Damn Bastard!!!."
"Wait a minute."
"HUHH??? APA LA-I mean what else are you waiting for! We have to kill him right now before the herd comes and strikes again."
"It's not necessary." I walked closer fearlessly, looking into the cage where the wolf was cowering. His body was very small and there were many bite marks on his skin. Seeing that I took a step back. "What size of the previous wolf is the same as this one," I said.
"No, the size of this bastard can't compare to the one yesterday, he's so small and looks sickly."
"Then it's good."
"Huh???."
"Is it good?."
They asked me what I meant and I replied casually. "You said the herd before was bigger than him then this one must be the Alpha wolf from another group.
"He was taken out of his flock because he was weak and sickly so he came down from the mountain and was trapped in your trap."
"The wolf is a territorial creature so it must be the reason the group came down from the mountain because it smelled the presence of other wolves in their area."
"Then what are you going to do?, even though he's almost dead still we have to avenge him for killing our precious horse, and what's good?." Djordan was still upset and thirsty for the death of the wolf in front of him.
"Badly... That doesn't matter. The only good thing about this situation is that again this wolf will be your newly farmed guard dog from now on."
Djordan was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud "AHAHAHAH... Are you kidding me?."
"Do I look like I'm kidding?."
We stared for a while, Djordan turned his face to the right, to cover up his frustration. "Tsk."
"I know you're upset but hold it."
"Emmm... W-Why Would You Make a Sky Wolf As A Dog?, I Thought That's Impossible Because They're Wild Magic Animals!!!." Djordan shouted while turning his back on Ira.
"You guys...." I touched my throbbing forehead. "Bright... Fool, what does it mean to work with animals if you don't know the basics."
"Oi, I don't know about it, usually my wife will handle the in-animal piaikis problem"
"You better shut up and put together a spending report this month, I'll check it out right away" I said, interrupting Djordan.
"Bright... Alright." He threw away his weapon just like the ground and turned around.
"...."
"Dad-dad!." When Carlos began to shout because of the danger approaching his father.
BANG
"!!!."
Djordan turned around to look at his rifle but what he got was quite shocking. The weapon that was originally on the ground floated in the air, and still pointed at him. "Did you just complain about my orders?" I said in an annoyed tone.
"Guump-." The atmosphere became heavy all around the three of us. "How dare you throw your weapon in front of my eyes."
Clik.
The rifle sounded again.
"Should I blow your brains out?."
"Come-."
"Shut up" I ordered before Carlos spoke in defense of his father. Djordan did not dare to look at me so he saw his son and looked down. "Pardon me... I'm just too upset about the creature."
"Is that my question?."
"No...."
"What's your answer then?."
"Please don't blow my head off...." Goosebumps bent Djordan's neck getting stronger to make it numb there.
"Then get your gun and put it where it's supposed to be."
"Good." He picked up a weapon that floated in the air slowly but still lowered his head not daring to make eye contact with me.
"While I told you to talk casually to me that doesn't mean you can treat me like your friend., remember that I'm still Emersyn and the owner of the ranch and the entire estate, horses and living things that come into my territory...."
"S-I understand."
Djordan's stupid, how dare you act so recklessly in front of the woman in control of your life, her inner self.
"Other times if you act like that then I won't miss out on it anymore understand?."
"I understand," he said, bowing repeatedly.
"Then go, I'll move this creature to the edge of the lake."
"Good." Djordan holds his son's hand to be carried away from around Ira.
I looked at the scene and then turned again to the trap cage. "Now let's see." My hand touched the rusty iron bars and then.
Slips.
The flow of mana came out of my hand, feeling foreign yet comfortable as it surrounded my body, for a moment I opened my eyes to the iron trap and my body that was behind the farm was now on the riverbank close to the Podo house.
Smilingly.
I smiled as my body felt the sensation of being pulled from all directions even if it was just a second.
"Huh... It's good." Ira smile.
"This thing works exactly as described in the novel." Ira looked between the cage and the lake, in her mind a creature flashed.
"You better prepare yourself, because of me..." My face drew closer to the cage where the wolf was still drowning there with its tail tucked under its feet. "It will make you the ruler of this mountain" I said with a grin.
***
The night came a few hours after Ira's arrival at the Podo ranch. In that simple wooden house, three people sat in chairs in front of a large dining table. Delicious dishes of roasted turkey and lamb, quality whole-grain bread and fresh fruits neatly arranged on the table.
"Yes... It looked delicious," Djordan swallowed his saliva looking at all the food he had just seen for the first time in a long time.
"I'm always happy whenever you come to our farm Miss Ira." Jordan's eyes had been fixed on the savory-scented meat that pierced sharply into his kiss.
"Father it's-."
Carlos who put the bowl in front of his father felt awkward, after the incident this morning everything became difficult for Carlos to start communication so all he needs to do now is look at the situation first to determine the mood.
But unfortunately, Carlos looks just a waste of energy to think about things that are not important because after the afternoon before his father who has been moody since last approached Ira and asked him to make dinner.
Carlos had thought that tonight was his last day when his father asked a haughty Emersyn to cook for the lowly but surprising things happened, Ira who was still standing in front of the Sky Wolf trap nodded her head, telling Djordan to prepare all the groceries she was going to cook.
