The First Dragon God

Leo stood in front of the wolf pack, gripping Nightshade tightly in his hand. He watched as they encircled him, trying to trap him and making sure that he doesn't escape.

He looked ahead and saw two wolves, one lying on the floor, whining loudly and licking its leg where a gash could be seen with blood bleeding out of it. And another standing in front of the injured, seemingly guarding it while glaring fiercely at Leo and growling intensely.

The wolf lying on floor was the wolf that Leo had attacked initially, it got injured and just before Leo could finish it off, the one guarding it rushed in and saved it.

Leo was surprised when he saw the second wolf's action and just when he was about to continue his attack, the second wolf howled sharply and the whole pack turned their attentions to him and encircled him.

For one, Leo was surprised by the pack's action. He didn't expect the type of coordination they exhibited and the fact that they were willing to switch their target to him because he injured one of their members baffled him a little.

Leo had watched documentaries on wolves are exceptionally loyal to their pack and those in it, treating each other as family. But there's a difference between hearing something and seeing it for oneself.

Also, with the world changing and everything, Leo felt that the wolves should be behaving more like what they actually are; wild animals. But their actions seems to differ greatly from that.

His initial intention for the wolves was just like the Mutant Boar; fight them and kill them, but the wolves' reactions changes everything.

Seeing how coordinated the wolf pack were when they surrounded him and how intelligent their leader is, gave Leo an very outrageous thought.

'Is is possible?' he thought to himself.

What Leo intends to do is to tame the wolf pack. Yes, game the wolf pack. The idea itself felt very ridiculous to Leo that the probability of its failing was staring at him right in the face.

For starters, how does he intend to achieve that? Does he even know what had to be done and how it's to be done? Actually the question that should be asked is why he wants to tame a pack of mutant beasts?

Well, the answer to that is already obvious. The wolf pack is valuable to Leo alive than dead. Their excellent coordination and intelligent of their leader is something that Leo would want to make use of.

But all these is based on if he actually succeeds on taming them and he has no idea on how he's going to do that.

"Hey Tia," he called out to Tatiana in his head, hoping for her hear him.

He remembered how he heard her voice I his head and he was hoping that she would hear him. But unfortunately for him, whatever Tatiana did to speak to him directly in his head didn't seem to be a two way thing as he got no response from her.

He wanted to ask Tatiana if she has any information on how to tame beasts but that won't be possible anymore.

He looked at the wolf pack's leader and he saw that it was licking the injury of the injured wolf, whining. Its whines seems to be filled with pain and anger. As if sensing Leo looking at it, it turned to him and howled sharply.

Immediately, the wolves that had encircled Leo, attacked all at once. Leo immediately reacted as he dodged an attack coming from his left by sidestepping.

He turned his head and saw two wolves lunging at his neck, and he quickly sidestepped again, dodging the attack.

He wasn't allowed a moment of respite when he saw something moving quickly from the corner of his eyes. He tried to dodge but he was too slow as he felt a sharp pain from the left side of his stomach.

His instinctual reaction was touch the place where the pain came from and check what injured him but when he saw three wolves coming at once from all sides, he decided to get serious.

He immediately switched the sharp side of his blade for the dull side and just as the first of the three wolves lunged at him, he swung hard at its belly.

The wolf let out a sharp yelp as the dull side of the blade crashed in the side of his belly. It fell to the ground and started letting out continuous whimpering sounds.

The remaining two wolves seeing their comrade on the ground, got enraged and attacked Leo immediately.

They snarled and lunged at him but Leo was faster. With a quick set of movements, he arrived in front of them and struck down at their backs with the dull side of Nightshade.

The two wolves reactions was just like the previous as they let out a loud, sharp yelp and fell to the ground, whimpering.

After dealing with the two, Leo turned just in time to see something moving fast towards him. He reacted immediately as he swung his blade in that direction.

The blade made contact with the attacking wolf and a clanging sound was heard, followed by a loud yelp and then continuous whimpering sound.

Leo looked on the floor and saw the four wolves that previously surrounded him, now lying on the floor, curled up and whimpering in pain.

Leo didn't know what to make of this site. The wolves' reactions didn't seem to be that of those that came from the wild. They were unlike anything like the savage Mutant Boar.

He was very curious to know why they were behaving the way they were but that might not be possible anymore, as he looked at their leader and he saw the rage burning in its eyes.

The injured wolf was still lying on the floor and from what Leo could see, it was already on the brink of death.

The next moment, what Leo knew was the pack leader moved and before he could react, it was already in front of him.

He reacted immediately and swung his blade but the wolf was faster as it bent down, dodging, before immediately lunging at him.

Seeing the wolf lunging at him, Leo wanted to dodge but with the distance between them being so small and his body still under his previous attack momentum, the only thing he can was to take the attack head on.

Leo braced himself for impact but just as the wolf attack was about to land on him, Ms Ves appeared beside him in a blue and punched it.

Ves' punch sent the wolf flying wnd tumbling onto the ground.

"Sorry, I'm late. I had to make sure that I got all of them to safety," She said, as she took an attacking stance beside him.

Leo smiled and nodded at her in appreciation.

Ms Ves was previously handling the task of rescuing and getting the other survivors to safety while Leo attracted the attention of the wolf pack and deal with it.

Leo turned his attention back to the wolf pack leader, who was now standing on its feet and growling at them and now slowly approaching the two of them.

The other wolves were previously whimpering on the floor were now also on their feet and slowly approaching them, following behind their pack leader.

As he watched the wolf pack's approach, his eyes moved towards the injured wolf on the floor and he saw that another wolf was now guarding it in place of the pack leader that was previously guarding it.

Seeing this, Leo got curious to know the reason why the injured wolf was being so closely guarded by the pack. Why is it so important? He didn't get the answer to his question but it gave him an idea. A crazy one.

Leo couldn't explain why he was having this idea but something inside of him seems to be telling him to tame these wolves. And there's something like a vague guide telling him how to go about it.

Leo would be lying to say that he wasn't confused by everything but how much the world changed in just a day, he knew that his guts is one of his biggest to surviving this world.

And right now, that same guts is telling him to do something crazy. He has no idea why he was having these crazy ideas in his head in the first place but no matter how crazy the ideas are, they sounded better than killing off the wolves.

Leo let out a deep breath as he looked at the injured wolf again, before turning to look at the wolf pack slowly approaching them and about to surround the both of them.

"Ms Ves, I have an idea. Do you trust me?" He asked, as he continuing watching the wolves slowly approach.

"With my life, Leo," Ves replied confidently.

"Thank you. Now, please listen carefully," Leo said and told Ms Ves what to do.

Immediately after he was done, he rushed towards the injured wolf and reacting to his action, the wolf pack turned their attention to him and rushed towards him.

As Leo darted toward the injured wolf, the pack leader let out a thunderous growl. The wolves surged forward as one, their snarls echoing like a battle cry.

"Keep them distracted, Ms. Ves!" Leo shouted, his pulse racing. If he could just reach the injured one...
