"Human!?", Shin was indeed astonished after hearing that.
Moreover, he was quite surprised since the chances of evolving into a human weren't Zero.
Furthermore, the tale which Kira told was also quite baffling because just thinking about a wolf ascending to the heaven and trying to challenge the very Gods was quite thrilling.
"Yes, he indeed turned himself into a human..."
"But this is only a myth, I don't think anyone other than the wolves will believe this, haha.", Kira made it sound like a joke but what he said was quite serious.
Shin had no idea about this transformation and stuffs but now that he found out about these things, he couldn't possibly ignore these chances.
"Anyway, how old are you?", Kira asked.
When he asked that, Shin took a look at his stats.
[ Age: 20 days 02 hours 18 minutes 01 seconds ]
"I'm twenty days old!", Shin replied almost immediately.
"Hmm hmm, so you are 20 months ol-"
"..."
"Huh...? What did you say?", Kira's eyes were widely opened and so were Siara's.
Both of them stared at Shin as if they had heard something unbelievable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You are... twenty days old?", Kira asked.
"Ya..."
"Is something wrong?", until now, Shin had no idea that what he said was too abnormal.
"Just what the heck is right in what you said!", Kira raised his voice and asked this.
The pup which was near Siara flinched a bit but then went back to it's sleep yet again.
"Eh?", Shin failed to realize what Kira tried to say.
"Impossible..."
"No matter how I think about it, this is impossible..."
"How the heck can a wolf pup evolve? And that too when it's only twenty days old!?", this was way too much for Kira to understand.
Of course, a normal wolf pup who is barely twenty days old would just rest and not do anything else.
It would hardly even be able to walk properly, and here Shin was saying that he had evolved even before he was twenty days old. Furthermore, he was able to use magic to heal which could even rival the strongest Healing type wolf!
"How... just how?", Kira was way too confused and on seeing him like that, Siara was also panicking.
She was constantly turning her gazes from Shin to Kira and then from Kira to Shin and then so on!
'Uh, but I never said that I was an healer...', Shin said to himself in his mind.
The reaction which Kira gave was already was too much to accept and if Shin had said anything more, Kira might have ended up dying with the confusion. Also, he wanted to keep some secrets which could act as his trump card during a decisive moment.
Therefore, it was wise of Shin to refrain from saying anything else.
Kira had been in the state of confusion for more than ten minutes after which he finally calmed down.
"Yup, I have concluded...", Kira said with a deep tone after the long awaited ten minutes.
"Huh?", Shin was curious to hear what it was and so was Siara.
"You are a... weird wolf!"
"Nothing more, nothing less. I don't want to hear anything more about yourself!", Kira said quite proudly as if he understood anything, but he basically ran away from whatever Shin said.
Shin had a poker face like expression and was staring at Kira who was standing there proudly as if he had solved the greatest mystery of the world.
'Sigh, never mind...', Shin also gave up on thinking anything more.
"Well anyway, umm, Shin...", the moment Kira called his name out, again the same chill ran down his spine.
The cool and silencing breeze blew throughout the entire land and the lightnings started to occur as if it was going to rain soon. However, there were no signs of rain clouds that could cause such loud thundering.
"Damn..."
"If I call you that way, it will be an insult to our ancestor..."
"And I can't possibly call you with a different name nor can I name you..."
Kira was absolutely right, if he were to call Shin with different name then what would be the purpose of the name that he has been given? It would be an insult to the Celestials, especially the Elf Celestial!
Furthermore, since the naming was done by a Superior and stronger species such as an Elf Celestial while compared to Kira, he couldn't possibly name Shin again and even if he did, it wouldn't replace the already given name nor will it get bound to his soul.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then the only thing that I can call you is..."
*gulp*
"Master Shin..."
Yes, Kira utterly and bitterly accepted the fact that he had to place the word 'Master' in front of Shin. It was to ensure that their God wouldn't get angry.
However, the fact that he had to call Shin who was inferior as master while Shin could call him as Kira, made him feel utter defeat or a type of unruly feeling engulfed him because not even once had he allowed any wolf to look down upon him!
He was basically gritting his teeth when he called Shin as 'Master Shin' and it was quite evident too. Siara was also feeling that it was quite opposite to what it should have been.
But oh well, in the end, Shin had finally joined them and now the only thing that Kira wanted from him was his healing powers.
"Please..."
"Ahem..."
"Master Shin, will you please heal all the wounded ones?", Kira asked.
"Ya sure Kira, lead the way!", and Shin took the full advantage of the moment and started calling Kira as 'Kira' without any 'Master' or 'Leader' word or anything else.
Kira stood up and started walking in front of Shin as if he was leading the way. Siara too wanted to come but she couldn't leave the small pup alone who was probably her own child.
Kira was now out of the den from where many parts were clearly visible. The lightning and thundering did continue even now but it was much less.
"This way...", he said that and started to walk towards his right while Shin followed him.
"..."
