We stepped onto the magic circle and found ourselves teleported to the underground city of Good King Felt. After a short wait, a massive tiger approached us, having caught our scent.

This was a powerful monster called a shakhor melekhnamer. Aside from its imposing physical size, it possessed dense mana reserves that emanated from its body and a glint in its eye that revealed its intelligence, albeit one different from that of humans. Just standing in front of it was enough to make me shiver.

I’d never beat one in a straight fight, and Lorraine’s chances weren’t that much better. If she were allowed plenty of time to lay traps everywhere and was able wiseto fight from a hidden position, she could probably win—but even that exaggerated hypothetical had one in a hundred odds. This monster was just that powerful.

Lorraine and I had nothing to fear from it, though. We knew it held no animosity toward us—on the contrary, it began to rub its huge head against me, a low purr rumbling from its throat.

As it was, it was hard to see it as anything other than an oversized cat. Who could be scared of that?

“No matter how many times I see it, that never gets any less strange...” Lorraine murmured, watching the tiger nuzzle against me.

“It’s usually not the kind of monster that’s friendly with humans,” I agreed. “I wonder how they tamed it, back in ancient times.”

According to Gharb, this particular shakhor melekhnamer felt a bond with my blood. In other words, a long time ago, people had found a way to train monsters to have affection for certain families.

I didn’t know exactly how long ago that had been, but did that mean a shakhor melekhnamer could live for over a millenia or two? Or had it been arranged somehow that this lineage of monsters would react to my—that is, the people of Hathara’s—blood, no matter the generation? I doubted I’d be able to reach an answer.

Lorraine seemed to be thinking along a similar line. “You could write an entire thesis on the answer to that,” she said. “Though while you’re at it, you could write one on the existence of this shakhor melekhnamer alone too. Revealing the method of taming one sounds like a bad idea...”

“That treatise would fly off the shelves,” I agreed. I knew exactly what she meant about it being a bad idea. “You’d have a lot of dangerous people doing whatever it takes to lure it to their side.”

“Still, would you want to pick a fight with someone who could order a shakhor melekhnamer around?”

That was an exceedingly good point. “You’re right—but you would get some people who’d think they could manage if it was just the monster by itself. Maybe they’d even bring a Mithril-class adventurer along in case it turned into a fight.”

“Just thinking about that is exhausting... Let’s keep quiet about the shakhor melekhnamer. If we didn’t have it around, we’d really be in trouble.”

“You’re right about that.”

We hadn’t waited for the shakhor melekhnamer just because we’d wanted to feed it a treat like a pet.
