YAY OVER 1300 VEIWS AN EPISODE!!!
Authors note: finally told someone I know that im writing this so I feel like im flyin!
The last six days of the journey back were uneventful. FEAR and PAIN walked off in the forest and were always nearby eating. Never stopping. I think I should have named them FAT and PORKER instead, the names would be much more fitting. None the less when we arrived at the village and PAIN sat down not a single villager came out of their houses. Except for two people. Sophia and Mother. My mother was very cautious. Sophia not so much. She ran crying towards me
“WAHHHH WHY DID YOU TAKE SO LONG WAHHH”
she tackled me and I let her. After tackling me she looks up and sees Anna. She stopped crying as if there had been no reason to cry for in the first place.
“who is she?”
“a new friend treat her well.”
“ohh”
Sophia gets up and then ... pounces on Anna. She pulls out Anna's hairpins and exclaims
“I thought I saw a cute mouse!”
“i'm c-c-cute?”
“ya why you hide your ears?”
“because there ugly...”
“why are they ugly?”
“because the villagers and townspeople said so...”
“do the people you care about think so?”
“i don't know...”
“then ask”
damn Sophia your such a nosy Nellie. Is what I think. But before I know whats going on.
“c-c-Charles do you think my ears are c-c-cute?”
I pause for a moment and say
“on you they are.”
man I almost got my face ripped off by my mom who is now standing beside me patting my head. Before I answered she had a really strained smile on. Really strained. She then asks me
“why is their a wolf Cerberus here Charles?”
“oh that I tamed it.”
“its a high ranking demonic being. The only way it would have ever accepted you is if it felt that fighting you would result in its death. So ill ask you this question. What did you do?”
“i jumped on its back?”
“and then”
“hit it in the back of the head”
“and then?”
“it was my pet”
she raises her eyebrow and looks at Henry. He nods and then she lets me off the hook and hollers.
“ITS OKAY ITS CHARLES NEW PET!”
the villagers come out of their houses and look sceptical of the information that they have just been fed. I don't really care about them to much and walk home. When I get their I realize I have a problem. No dog house. FEAR had been sleeping inside the house because he was only the size of a normal dog. But PAIN is way to big. No chance of even fitting through the front door. My mother had been walking behind me with my dad who was explaining Anna 's existence to my mom. I turn around and ask my mother
“can you make dog house for PAIN?”
“what do you mean dear?”
“well he is to big to sleep inside so he needs somewhere to sleep. Could you use earth magic or something to make him one?”
as im asking her i'm giving her the puppy eyes. She seems to waver and just before she regains herself I push her over the edge.

“can it be my early birthday present?”
she knows that that my next birthday is 8 months away but its hard to get me gifts so.
“fine but you better remember your not getting a gift for your 4th birthday”
she then goes to the side of the house and begins saying words that are in such a quite tone that I can't hear them. From the ground sprouts wooden walls and then wood beams appear out the side and form a roof. The structure is angled so that the water runs of the back when it rains. PAIN happily goes in and lays down. This puts most of the villagers at ease. Out of sight out of mind right? We then head inside to start cooking dinner. Sophia's family was been invited over so we kids are eating on the floor while the adults eat at the table. As we ate I listened to the parent's conversation while the girl's had well, girl talk.
“so I heard the elf princess wanted to show Charles the elf kingdom”(Sophia's mom)
“ya she also wanted him to bring Sophia” (my mom)
“what are we going to do with Anna then she was just traumatize separating her from Charles could push her over the edge.” (father)
“will the elves let you take her with you?”(Sophia's mom)
“they had to do background checks on both Charles and Sophia before they even let the idea float towards the Elf King”(mom)
“can you bypass to the king via letter?”(dad)
“maybe but I doubt it. I might have to cancel the trip. The girl has already gone through enough. Plus I doubt the villagers will let me leave a Cerberus here without me protecting them.”(mom)
“fair enough just send a letter explaining how Charles has a new pet and friend. Its to bad the elvish villages are truly beautiful.” (dad)
the rest of their conversation was unimportant and did not effect me just a lot of village gossip. After dinner I go to my bedroom and remove my gravity and storage ring. In my storage ring their is about a quarter of a ton of rocks plus the 600 gold coins I had left. Since the weight is multiplied 15 because of the gravity rings its 3.75 tons. After laying down it feels like my bones are all meshed out of place. So I ask codex about it.
“codex why does my it feel like my bones are crushed?”
“didn't even bother to look at your bones i've been to busy finalizing your second heart. Let me check quick.”
after about ten minutes codex responds to me
“well do you want the good news or bad news first?”
“what are you now a doctor?”
“bad or good?”
“give me the shit first”
“your bones can’t handle the stress of the gravity and storage. If you keep this up you'll die before your tenth birthday.”
“... and the good?”
“i can fix it and improve your skeletal system in a renovation.”
