Chapter 2

  Shit and a dream

  After getting assaulted by my not so friendly neighborhood squirrel, Demarcus.

  I decided it was time to take an emotional break, and go lick my balls by the stables.

  I curled up and realized that I grew accustomed and comforted by the aroma of manure and my poor decisions.

  I lowered my head slowly as I started to clean myself.

  I stopped as my tongue drew dangerously close to my private parts. I stopped and stared into the nothingness that was my soul now. I had adapted to being a dog disturbingly fast.

  I then proceeded to clean my balls.

  A young man approached a dog that was sitting by the stables, the small puppy was fluffy, covered in hair, with a short nose, and ears, and an extremely fluffy tail.

  He had a shovel, and a bucket full of animal feces which he put on the ground as he laid next to the dog.

  “This life fucking sucks doesn’t it?” The young man took a deep breath as he sat down

  “Yup” the dog responded as he kept cleaning itself, the young man kept talking, unfazed by the fact that a dog had just responded to him

  “Eat, clean shit, go home, sleep, repea…” The young man’s face turned pale as he turned around “Did this fucking dog just say ‘yup’ to me?” He kneeled, his hands dropping to the ground as he started to pray.

  “Gods, please forgive me for any wrong doing, I will not complain, I will eat my veggies, I won’t steal Estella’s underwear no more, if my soul has perished, release me of this here punishment, I condemn any demons.” He puts his hands together and brought them closer to his face as he continued to pray.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  I stopped cleaning myself as one of the most unexpected things to happen to me had just happened, and that’s saying a lot, since I’m a dog now. This guy could understand what I was saying “What are you doing?” I said as I approached him, he quickly got up and started to point the finger at me “DEMON” he yelled as he grabbed a rock and held his hand up “YOU ARE THE ONE HOLDING A ROCK” I yelled at him as he took a couple steps back.

  The crowd watching kept growing, soon the whole town watched as the stable boy pointed at a small puppy, and the puppy responded by barking furiously back. “He’s lost his damn mind” They whispered.

  “Put the damn rock down.” I got closer to him and used my puppy powers, I sat down and stuck my tongue out, while my eyes marbled at him.

  It worked.

  “You are so adorable” The stable boy said as he dropped the rock “Who would’ve thought that the spawn of Satan could be so adorable.” The young man reached his arms towards me as he grabbed “I’m not the spawn of Satan you idiot.” I said as he picked me up “Oh, is that so, then how come you are talking? No animal could ever talk like that, only one thing can explain it, Beelzebub.” He responded as he brought me closer. I really wish I had hands so I could facepalm myself right at this moment “Look, I don’t know myself, but I am not the spawn of Satan. I am too adorable for that.” Did I just say that? “I guess you have a point there” His hand started to caress my hair, slowly going down my spine, I forgive him for everything he has said to me.

  Then I see his eyes light up “What are you doing?” As he stands up and drops the shovel he was carrying, he starts to run towards a small house with broken windows and a really shitily made door, he opens the door and closes it behind us. “I’M GOING TO BE RICH” He says as his face starts to smile, grimming from side to side, you could even see the shimmer of gold in his eyes “Huh?” I say “A talking dog, I can charge 2 copper, no, 4 copper per visitor!” He holds me up and says “You’ll be my companion! I’ll call you Fenrir from now on. We’ll be rich!!” He grabs me and spins me around “Companion!? LET GO OF ME YOU SMELL LIKE SHIT.” He didn’t really smell that bad, I kind of liked it.

  “Pop!”

  A translucent window pops up in front of me. I tried focusing on it as I was being spun around, and my tail kept hitting the side of my body.

  “Party established.

  Members;

  Leader: Alex Lvl. 0

  Exp. 0

  Companion: Fenrir Lv. 0

  Exp. 2”

  I stared at the screen for a couple of seconds.

  As fear and excitement mixed inside me, my body produced the most natural reaction possible.

  I shat myself.

  Shit and piss flew through the room as I was spun around like a celebratory flag.

  And in that beautiful, horrifying moment, I came to a realization.

  I had just become the accomplice to a scam artist.
