For a second, my heart sank. This happens when you suddenly feel the impending danger. The hair on his back stood on end, and his skin was covered with goosebumps. All the instincts of this new body trumpeted my imminent death, and I did not ignore them.Leaving the pirate, I jumped aside just at the moment when the furriod's mouth closed inches from my hand. His huge carcass flew past, dragging the remaining poor fellow behind him. There was a strong roar, the sound of a muffled blow and a short groan full of pain.- Do you even feel sorry for your own? - I said, getting to my feet and looking at the wolf.He stood near the body of a man with a head crushed against the wall, on which there was a deep dent and a red mark with the remains of the insides of the skull."They were never 'mine,'" he growled back, wiping his sharp, bloody claws on the dead man's clothes.The dog slowly walked to the side, avoiding me in a semicircle, trying to keep his distance. I did the same. Tension grew

Walking past the dirty, battered pirates, lined up in a straight line all the way to the captain's bridge, is such a pleasure. The stench and stench followed me all the way. Nausea kept rising up in my throat, but I forced myself to restrain myself. You need to get used to this. It seems to me that in the future I will have to visit such places more than once. Though I'd rather fight cleaner and tidier enemies.While I was walking, none of the pirates even thought to attack me. Although I turned around every now and then, hearing suspicious rustles and noticing movement out of the corner of my eye, but this was not another ambush. They only closed behind me, cutting off the way back and, as it were, forcing me to go forward. Their eyes were blank, their faces frozen in a stupid expression of euphoria. Someone was casually and very relaxed talking to someone, but they discussed very terrible topics: who raped and stabbed whom how many times. And just behind me. As if an unknown spell f

- What's wrong with him? Terra asked in surprise, standing behind me and licking the cuts on her arms.I looked at her in surprise. All my life I thought that only dogs do this and it is natural to believe that everything is exactly the same for furriods. By the way, about them. Don't forget about that dog.- And you will then crawl to me with this mouth, animal?- What? - She pricked up her ears, - I'm trying to disinfect the wounds, it's dirty here ...- The main thing is to wash yourself afterwards, - I said, and then asked, - Did you notice anything when you got out of the ship?- No, only the corpses of people, - the cat answered with a shrug.I nodded accepting the answer. If she didn’t notice anything, it’s likely that her scent wasn’t sensitive enough, or the smell had faded, or maybe she just didn’t pay attention because of her rush to me. Other than that, it's not that scary. Atria will check this "werewolf" though what kind of werewolf is he, if in fact he is a humanoid ani

“Go away,” I growled through the pain, hurt.The girl took the injector in her hands and began to turn in my direction. But for some reason, her movements slowed down. My head began to crack even more, as if someone inside my skull had begun to inflate a rubber ball that threatened to tear my head apart from the inside. But, even worse, the picture before my eyes began to delaminate. It was as if the whole world was divided into many layers, different from each other, which moved asynchronously to each other. One layer showed Eva leaning to the right, laying down on my stomach with her chest to inject the medicine into her left hand, and the other showed her slowly leaning towards her right. And with every fraction of a second, one picture became transparent, almost blurry, and the other filled with color and became more voluminous, until the witch herself repeated the procedure and leaned over to my right hand.A short prick and the pain passes, instantly, as if it never existed. The

We were dropped off at the spaceport. I had to leave the pirate ship to drift in orbit of the planet under the supervision of fighter drones and land on the planet while aboard my personal ship. As they explained to us over the link, the spaceport we will enter is too elite and clean for such a rusty vessel, and even more so, a pirate ship at the docks can cause unnecessary excitement. Here I did not argue and insist on my own, I allowed my small ship to be seized by force and escorted to the surface of the planet.Sitting in my chair at the helm, with my feet up on the dashboard, I watched as huge bright white clouds gradually approached us. We had long passed the atmosphere and were already descending towards the spaceport. Behind me, Terra and Eva were talking nervously about something. At first I did not attach any importance to their words at all. What can two girls say to each other? But when words such as “etiquette”, “duty of a slave”, “duty of a concubine” began to float ther
