Chapter 20: The most dangerous guard dog in the world!

What is this?! A chapter being published sooner than promised?! It must be an illusion!

Anyway... I know I only promised Saturday or Sunday, but... I was really in a good mood... The reason?

My TCC (Final paper) was approved with a maximum grade! ( ^_^)

So I'm satisfied with my efforts, so here's the new chapter!

I'm already working on chapter 21!

Thanks for waiting!

Pov Thor.

Fenrir's behavior is what I thought it would be... So it's going to be difficult to establish some form of trust.

Hel had already commented that Fenrir tried to attack her... So does this mean that Fenrir didn't recognize her? Or... Does Fenrir no longer trust anyone?... Come to think of it, he is far more likely to trust no one but himself.

So we have the 'lone wolf', huh?

"GRRRRR"

The closer I got, the more Fenrir became agitated...

"Easy boy... It's not like I'm going to hurt you senseless..." I said calmly as I slowly approached Fenrir.

It looked like Fenrir had... Calmed down?

When I got close enough I was wrong to assume that Fenrir had calmed down, as he soon shot his head with open jaws in my direction.

Pov Third-person.

As soon as Fenrir realized that Thor was within reach, he soon roared and shot his head quickly towards Thor, intending to kill him with a single bite.

And then when Fenrir closed his mouth, he realizedthat he couldn't close it.

"You know... I knew I should have waited longer for you to act more reasonably, after all, you didn't even trust your sister... There was no need to pretend to be docile and try to kill me" said a voice in the mouth of Fenrir.

It was Thor, who was holding Fenrir's jaws by the fangs and preventing him from closing his mouth.

Fenrir then shook his head and flung Thor out of his mouth.

Thor then landed some distance from Fenrir, and then looked at his stubborn 'cousin'.

"HumI see you still have a grudge against other peopleUnderstandable, after all, some people tend to bedisappointing," Thor explained.

Fenrir growled in response and flailed further, trying to free himself from Gleipnir.

Thor walked towards Fenrir and made a portal connected to his necklace's storage space, and took out...

A small package?

Fenrir stopped growling immediately looked at the suspicious package, which gave off a smell... Of food?

But Fenrir did not recognize the smell... It smelled good, but Fenrir had no idea what that smell was.

"Are we going to make a little deal boy?" Thor asked calmly. But honestly... He had no idea if Fenrir was understanding him, he could only assume that Fenrir's intelligence goes so far.

Fenrir looked at Thor, still suspicious but curious about the food in Thor's hand.

Thor then took a sort of yellow 'pill' from the necklace and then looked at it.

"I just hope it's enough" said Thor thoughtfully.

What was the pill? Well... Thor knew it was unfeasible to forge a giant collar, as Fenrir would never let him get close.

So he established two steps.

1st Create something to shrink Fenrir.

2nd Shamelessly bribe the god-killing wolf with unbeatable human cuisine far beyond its present time.

"All right boy... Take it," Thor said, tossing the small package in the air towards Fenrir.

And so, I put the collar on Fenrir.

As soon as I finished putting on the collar, I took out the small vial of Jrmundgander's poison and poured it into Gleipnir carefully, as I really didn't want to spill the corrosive poison into Fenrir by accident, so I just held it in place.

... It felt like I was disarming a bomb, as Fenrir kept staring at me...

After some time and a few drops of Jrmundgander's poison here and there... Fenrir was completely loose...

I backed away slowly, not wanting to frighten him... Besides establishing a safe distance for me, after all, he still *IS* the slayer of gods even though it now fits in the palm of my hand... I didn't want to allow Fenrir to rip my throat right after being released.

But it appears that my concerns were unfounded. Fenrir, after looking at the partially destroyed Gleipnir on the ground... He turned back to face me.

If the looks were still suspicious, I had no idea But I refused to take a step closer, as that was the moment when Fenrir was calmer.

It was then that Fenrir took the first step towards me.

He didn't run, he didn't jump for my throat, he justwalked.

Slowly but surely, the distance between us seemed to shrink as Fenrir approached.

And when he was just an arm's length away He stopped.

It looked like he was looking at me withexpectation?

So I made a decision and held out my right hand.

Fenrir then jumped into my hand.

For a brief second, I thought he was going to try to bite me again. But then I saw that he never opened his mouth.

Fenrir now... It was comfortably to my right.

"Well" I started to say.

Until I stop and think about my next words...

After a while... I knew exactly what to say.

"You're my friend now... We'll have Arancini when we get home" I said smiling.

It's going to take a while... But I really do see another future partner, in this little lone wolf.

It was then that I heard a grunting noise, and looked at Fenrir.

... That was his stomach... Well, maybe I should feed him as soon as possible.

It was then that I had an idea.

"Hey boy... How about joining a family dinner with your little sister?" I asked smiling at Fenrir.

Fenrir just stared at meuntil he tilted his head.

He lookedconfused.

"Well... It's easier to show than explain" I said in finality.

The place I wanted to take Fenrir? The place with a lot of food, and a younger sister who misses her older brother.

Hel's palace.

And then I walk towards my next destination, which was the palace of Hel... Again.

"...What was the name Ganglati referred to Hel's palace itself?... Hmm... Ah!... ljnir, here we go!" I said, smiling towards Fenrir.

Maybe it's good for both Fenrir and Hel, this meeting of siblings... After all, as much as Hel said that Fenrir tried to attack her, maybe it was because Fenrir still had a grudge in his heart, in fact, he still must have... But with me watching, it will be a relatively safe reunion.
