Chapter #5Whale of a Wolf by: Unknown Through the clear water you see an anthro wolfess under the water, holding her breath. She has a hold of your leg, and is staring at you. She stares at you for about thirty seconds. Then she goes up to the surface with you in hand. You gasp as you hit the hot air again, catching your breath. You look up at the wolf holding you in her palm, She has gray fur, with yellow eyes, and long black hair.
The steam in the room obscures her body so you can't really tell exactly how big she is. She stares at you curiously. She leans her head in closer and sniffs you for a few seconds. Finally, you manage to build up the courage to speak.
"What do you want?" You say timidly. She giggles. She can see you are scared. "Well, I just came in here to take a bath, then I see a strange creature like you come in, and I was curious."
"Curious about what?" You ask. She smiles. "I was curious to see if you were some sort of bug, I've never seen one such as you." She lies down, floating belly up in the water, and sets you on her stomach. She strokes your back with one finger. "Well, since you're here, you might as well keep me company."
As she strokes you, you tell her how you ended up here. "So your a "human", you come from a place called "America", and you were washed up here in a storm?"
"Yep." You reply. "Well, You seem like such a nice person. I hope empress Sarina decides to let you stay, and not feed you to Selkath." "Excuse me?" You say, hoping you heard her wrong. "Selkath. The great serpent. It protects us, and we make offerings to it. Usually it's an offering of meat, or the occasional criminal. But if an outsider arrives here, if they are deemed a threat or unwelcome, they are offered to it."
You gulp. "Don't worry." She says in a soothing voice. "I'm sure she'll let you stay. I'm sorry about pulling you under. I wouldn't have let you drown."
"It's alright." You say, rubbing her belly. "Just don't do it again.
You both lay theere floating in the hot spring for another hour, before a guard comes in. "The empress wants to see you." You both get out of the spring and the guard offers you a white silk robe just your size. You slip it on and follow her to the throne room, the wolfess following you. "By the way, my name is Leena." She says. "Jake." You say back.
In the throne room, Sarina stares down at you. "I've have reached a decision on what to do with you." She announces.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
