Chapter One ~:

The next morning, I found my face in the process of being cleaned by a large wet object. The squishy tongue keep hitting me. It was soft and very wet. In fact, the wetness was so much it caused me to cough and awake. "You're a dumb son of bitch," I muttered with a yawn. "Are you try drown me?"

The tongue washing stopped, as I locked eyes with my new pet. I saw the dumb look on its furry face, like it had done nothing wrong. "Really? Just really? First I wash off in the river and second even if I wasn't offended by your drool your breath smell like death."

I swore the bear pouted as it closed its large mouth. Finally, the creature let me get up. As I looked at it, I finally got a good view of the wild animal that clearly wished to be my travel companion. "Well, I can't keep calling you 'it' so let see let see."

I looked it over. Then I walked around the bear my eyes scanning it. In doing so, I saw there was a hint of crimson streaks going through its black fur. "That looks painful."

The bear groaned in agreement.

I also managed to determine which gender the creature was. This would be helpful in selecting the type name I should pick. "Let's see, what shall I call you?"

I smiled and said to him, "I call you; Kronos!"

The bear seems to like this, and he rubs it head into me.

Who would have thought this demon would turn so cuddly. I scratched behind the ears of my new friend, taking care before climbing on the bear's back. Soon I was able to ride on him like he was a horse.

{Just before sunset}

The sky was slowly becoming dark. As it did, we came from the clearing in the distance. I could see a city in the distance. The scent of the cooking fires from homes, shops and campsites could be smelled. I bumped Kranos's side with my feet causing him to grunt. He quickly began moving forward and all I had to wait for was a short distance. Once we arrived, I had planned to put my buddy in the interdimensional storage for living things (that I had tested during the journey.) I just doubt anyone would want the bear in their town.

I decided that it would be far too late, and I may be seen with hostility if we rode in or even if I walked in so after we found a proper place me and the bear made a camp.

I set the skin, while the bear brought back some kindling. "Great job."

I started the fire and then pulled out some of the venison and said to Kronos 's "So you want to eat raw or have me cook it!"

Somehow, I could sense a scowl as I said this. As expected, the creature seemed to really understand. "Okay, okay. I'll stop my bullshit before you maul me."

The bear grunted before laying down as I went to work on the prep for the meal. I then began to cook after coating the meat with herbs that myself and the bear had found in the forest.

After the prep work I touch the flat stone. I had built the fire close to camp, it had already been cleaned and washed and now that I had touch it was definitely hot enough. So, after tossing the two coated herb venison steaks on the rock the smell of the meat sizzling and herbs being cooked filled my nostrils. I watch the meat sizzle and flipped when necessary, to assure the meat cooked evenly.

After about fifteen minutes me I took one of the steaks and gave it to the bear before going to eat my own. I watched the bear ripping the cooked steak as I chewed on mine. We both seemed happy with the results.

After the meal, me and bear got comfortable next to the fire and we both went to sleep. As I drifted off, I muttered under my breath, "No French-kissing this young master in the morning you're not my type."

As these words left my mouth, I found my head slipping and crack against the ground with a bounce followed by a slight pain. "Ow, fuck!" I put my hands under my head. "TOUCHY, are we?"

With that I was claimed by the night unknown to me the bear laid next me and set the stage for another problem in the morning.

{Next Morning}

I was awoken with the taste of a hair in my mouth; that taste of musk, dirt and nature. As my eyes opened, I saw where my mouth was. "What the fuck?" I let out a roar. "You dirty son of bitch." I slammed my feet into the bears. He had been sleeping with its massive hindquarters on my face. "I going to skin your ass and make it into a pillow …you did it on purpose!"

I watched as the bear scurry away as if it honestly believed I was going to kill it. But comically he tripped over his own feet. "You bastard, get your hairy butt back here now."

My eyes glowed as I used a tamer spell called [Absolute order] with my chant-less ability the bear turned and walked back. With its head lowered, he let out miserable wail. I figured it knew it was dead meat.

I growled as I stood up and roared." I know you were being cute so I will say this: if you ever put yourself in a position where I end up kissing your butt, you'll be living permanently in the interdimensional beast dimension." The bear shivered and let out another whine before resting its head on the ground.

I patted his head and said, "at least you didn't French me."

With this done the atmosphere returned to a less harsh scene. After being sure the fire was out, I said," I'll have you go into the dimensional space I doubt people would understand a train demon."

The bear nodded and walked into a space and disappeared after I knew he was safe I made my way to the city.
