"Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw

your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample

them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." -Matthew 7:6

I’ll take care of her.*

Esau’s Voice: *Isfet?

The sounds of van doors close, cutting him off.

[MamMon’s Forest]

In the dead center of the Seiõr grown forest light enters from the only opening in the tall shrubbery the morning light peeks through the hole in the leaves.

With the warm of the sun hitting hi lower body, while laying on his back, Esau’s eyes flutter open and the unchosen Yin Vessel slowly sits up from being beaten so bad that he passed out from pain.

Because of his Eyelien symbiote, the injuries to his body have significantly healed.

However, he is still incredibly sore from his intense fight the night before with the dastardly DæMon, who is well trained in combat.

He looks at his hands and his equipment still strapped to his hip.

The struggling man puts his face in his right hand covering his symbiote while trying to think of how he ended up in this position.

Esau: "How did I-?"

MamMon’s DæMon: "It was Garmr."

The man’s eyes quickly dart up and MamMon is sitting on a branch, her back against the trunk of a large tree.

MamMon DæMon: "Glad to see you’ve awakened, poor Esau.

Did you sleep well?"

Resorting back to his silent treatment, Esau doesn’t answer. Instead he reaches into his satchel and searches for a granola bar.

Once he grabs one, the man pulls it out and only eats half while sitting crossed legged on the ground, in the soft morning grass.

MamMon DæMon: "I see...

So you had the energy to talk to my sister and her new little posse but I’m not worthy?

How unfortunate, dear Esau."

Esau: "Where’s Laban?"

Surprised that the man responded at all, the DæMon has a smirk with a raised eyebrow while looking down at her supposed "ally".

MamMon DæMon: "Oh? Did you not listen to me the first few times I told you, unfortunate Esau?

You are not allowed to hunt down her, nor my husband for another 53 hours.

Until then, for you, I do consider rest and trying to become more aquatinted with your new pal there."

Esau: "New...Pal?"

Esau turns around and staring him in the face is a large l, grey, male wolf.

The beast weighs well over 200 pounds, it is almost 7(~2.1m) feet long in length and from paw to shoulder stands almost 3.5(~1m) feet off the ground.

There are prickered chains dug into its scraggly fur, but there is no blood coming from the punctures from the metal thorns poking into the creatures skin.

There is a slash scar across the eyelids of both it’s shining yellow eyes and the two scars connect at the mythical monster’s forehead to create an X.

Even though it’s jowl is covered it blood, the wolf dog isn’t growling like usual but the intimidating sight still makes Esau in surprise, crawl on his ass backwards, distancing himself from Garmr.

Esau: "Holy Sh-!

That’s-!?"

MamMon remains seated, enjoying seeing Esau finally show some for of emotion towards anything.

MamMon DæMon: "Yes, unfortunate Esau.

Since you are familiar with Seiõr and the Vikings you should know that this is the beast depicted in Old Norse mythology for centuries. The wolf who was said to have aided in the bringing of Ragnarök.

Garmr."

The oversized wolf takes a step towards the intimidated Esau, it’s chains *clink* together or against the ground as it moves closer to the man sitting in the only light of the dark and treacherous forest.

Trying to regain his composure, Esau grab for his Bowie knife but...

MamMon DæMon: "Hold on there Cowboy."

Esau takes a quick look up to where the DæMon is sitting.

MamMon DæMon: "Don’t be so quick to judge.

Just like yourself, sometimes one’s appearance can be more intimidating than their soul "

The sweating man turns back to see the wet black nose of Garmr right in his face.

It’s rancid hot dog breath puffs once into his face, blowing his long jet black hair just a bit. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

However, once the oversized, wolf like beast gets close enough to the oversized, beast like man, Garmr licks his nose once and then immediately bows it’s head to be pet.

Esau’s green human eye and his alien symbiote grow wide in astonishment and he looks back up at where MamMon was sitting.

MamMon DæMon: "I think, after the 1,000 years I’ve been conscious in this world..."

Esau’s head swivels and see that the shifty witch has moved and placed herself on another branch, in a different but closer tree, sitting high against it’s trunk.

MamMon DæMon: "I’ve come to realize, there are some lower creatures in this world worth making companions with.

Who knows, those creatures may help you someday in the way you have helped them."

Esau looks back and the wolf hasn’t moved it’s bowed head.

Esau: "...’Helped them’?"

MamMon DæMon: "Mmyes.

It seems you passed out before it happened, but after I left you with a healing SeiõrSuppliment, you rejected my kind offer and threw it to where poor Garmr was watching us.

After the beast consumed my miraculous medicine, the chains surrounding him in the attempt to bind him no longer extract blood.

Sooner or later, they will fall off of him completely.

Congratulations, dear Esau.

You, as well as dear Pers Se Phōne, have gained the trust of the most dangerous canine of all mythology.

Go on, don’t be afraid to make new companions in this lonely world."

Esau’s hand moves away from his Bowie knife and it raises to pet the animal.

He fingers flinch back slightly but he commits and pets the X scar on the wolf’s forehead.

The man lets a chuckle escape and after he’s done petting Garmr, the wolf dog curls up, laying right next to him in the sunlight.

Still keeping her spot in the shady darkness, MamMon looks down happily at the sight.

MamMon DæMon(thinking): *I feel like my sister AgaMeMnon with how much pride I feel at this moment.*

MamMon looks up at the bright cloudy sky, SeiõrSnow still falling all around the world.

MamMon DæMon(thinking): *I wonder what my hubby is dreaming about right now?*

SAKU: "Real misery hates to see company... Let the troubles fly away with it."

He hears a whimper from a dog in the distance. He puts out what he is smoking and runs towards the noise.

As the teen approaches the top of a hill and sees a young German Shepard puppy cornered by 4 coyotes. The puppy is injured and the coyotes are going in for the kill.

SAKU: "Hey! Leave him alone!"

Saku starts running down the hill. The beasts turn towards him and run towards him.

One coyote jumps towards Saku and he dodges. The next one leaps but Saku kicks its side. Then the other two leap at the same time from both his sides Saku ducks and the two jump into each other. Saku looks around and the first coyote bites his leg.

SAKU: "Argghhhh!!"

The dog that was cornered leaps and bites the coyotes neck. The coyote lets go of Saku and the dog lets go of the coyote. The other three group with the last one and run away.

Saku looks down at his bite wound that is bleeding. The dog whimpers and licks his wound. Saku pets the dog and smiles.

SAKU: "Your fur feels so nice and, oddly relaxing. What are doing out here alone little guy?

Your mother must be worr-

...Oh, yours too huh?

Don’t worry from now on we look out for each other. I know humans are terrible and scary but I’m one of the good ones. We have to get you some food and water."

He stops and gets a sad look.

The dog is missing a piece of its right ear and only one eye open.

SAKU: "Buddy, you’re not blind in one eye are you?"

He realizes that it is missing an eye. Saku frowns but then he smiles at the dog.

SAKU: "Don’t worry I’ll be your extra 2 eyes... Oh yea! What are we gunna name you let’s see... How about... Friend?(Tomodachi)"

...

[Sanpaku Captain’s Quarters]

As Saku wakes up after his dream of meeting his best friend, he flutters his eyes open, staring at the white painted ceiling.

He tries to get up, but there is pressure pushing on both his shoulders but also his pelvis and legs.

He swivels his head to look around and sees Laban asleep on one shoulder, Itsuka asleep on the other, Xaaydagaay laying across his pelvis, and Friend’s head resting on his Master’s feet.

Saku takes a deep annoyed sigh...
