Aster could not calm herself down before this ferocious dog... or should she called it wolf monster. She kept pinching her thigh and wanted to wake herself from this bizarre and weird dream, but that sudden sitting up on the bed situation never came even her thighs became blue.

Instead, she lost her breath and passed out.

Adalwolf’s ferocious face was still wolf-shaped, he lowered his head and looked at the fainted woman in his arms. Uncontrollably, he reached out on hand and caressed her fair cheek with his index finger, "Aster right? You are the first to have offended me like that!"

"I smell human in the air! I think it’s right here! This must be some bad luck human being fallen from the space-time gap!" it smirked, "wonderful! We should eat her! Surely it will be a good filling up! I’ve never tried human beings! I wish the good name of their taste were true!"

"Yeah, we can eat some real food today. Days of vegetables have made me sick! Now we can eat some meat finally!"

Aster suddenly came to her full self from the coma. Her breath was taken away when she saw, with her wide opened eyes, the faces of these two things which she didn’t even really know what. They tied something around her waists and said they wanted to eat her.

Trees? They are two trees?

Moving trees?! They stood upright in this misty place.

They...looked like... like banyans, the trunks and crowns were not quite as thick and tall, but turquoise vines were draping down, just like the one around her waist.

Are these tree monsters?

All of a sudden memories before the coma came flashing by, and the fact she could not and dared not believed just emerged in her head.

She was finished. Here was no world of human, but for monsters and she was going to be on their plate.

Aster broke down the next second.

Holy shit! These tree monsters are going carnivorous now? Is photosynthesis not enough?

Aster closed her eyes desperately, and she buried her face in the dirt.

God!

Send someone from above!

"Shut up and leave us! She ‘s brought by the king, you must be too tired of your stupid life to covet her!"

A chill came over her. She popped her head up and can’t believe what she saw.

Shiiiiiiiit!

Is...he...also a monster?

So sick!

He was reining two dragons... dragons! Holy shit! She saw dragons with her own eyes,which were only read from myths!

One white and the other black! They inhaled the thick mist in one breath.

Damn sick!

As Aster was wonder-struck and mind-losing, the two tree monsters behind knelt down to the ground heavily, and transformed into human, trembling, "Please forgive us, your grace! We did not know she was brought by the king. We beg your grace to spare our lives!"|

Your grace?

Looking graceful indeed!

Aster stared at his fiery red hair, shocked from within! She’d never seen guys wearing this color and didn’t seem stupid. This monster is truly handsome!

"I’ll take off half of your habilitas as punishment."

Then Aster saw him waved his hand neatly at these two monsters behind her. She turned back when she heard screams, and saw two hideous looking individuals, one man and one woman, knelt scrawling down and looked painful. Something green like mist appeared around them and in a blink of an eye it condensed into one ball and flew back to the man who was just called the grace.

Then Aster saw him crushed the green mist ball before her eyes, and raised his head and reproached, "Now leave us."

"Thank you, your majesty!"

Then the monsters stood up from the ground, and disappeared into a green smoke.

So did the vines around Aster’s feet.

She pulled herself up and stepped back from the dragon-driving monster.

Though he saved her, yet he said she belonged to that king.

What the fuck! Then he must be a servant of the wolf monster who claimed himself to be a wolf king and tried to kill her!

He is definitely no good too!

She just ran out of the lion’s den, now found herself on a wolf’s table. She was crying with tears and collapsed onto the ground.

"The king did bring you back with him..." He dismounted from the dragons and came before her, stooped and smiled.

Aster saw his face and found he wasn’t as devil-like as before, so she loosened her guard and pleaded boldly, "your...your king, why does he wanted me dead? I’m not familiar with him... Take me back to my world, please..."

"This you should thank me, If I had not tried so hard, you’d have been dead." He sat with her casually, crossed his legs, picked dog’s tail stalk and held with his mouth. He gave her the thumbs up and couldn’t cover his admiration, " Aster right? Jesus Christ! You were on fire! Calling him a dog! And teased him as a husky. And patted his head and ruffled his hair, that was funny!"

Seeing he couldn’t help his laughter and fell down backwards onto the grass, Aster’s mind was filled with nothing but a mess and his choke of laughter.

She observed him for a while, and found him to be her savior when he choked himself with laughter.

This monster before her eyes were not like the others, who either wanted to eat her or kill her! And obviously he had quite a say in many aspects!

He must be on the staff, one of the senior leaders!

Never let this one go!

Once she realized this, she became high spirited. She sat up straight and explained, "I didn’t know, I didn’t do it on purpose, can you put in a word and let him forgive me, I’m sure the king has a rational mind and a broad heart, he wouldn’t kill me for this trivial matter, would he? Anyway, he appeared in my house for no reason..." she was choked with tears, "I just want to go home..."

Then the man who had choked on his laughter beat his chest and calmed himself, and said to her very seriously, "I think you got it wrong."

Huh? Got it wrong?

Did she...

Aster’s face lightened, "he does not want to kill me? He just want to scare me?"

"Yes, he was going to kill you in the first place when he came to your house. But after what’s happened, he thinks giving you a quick one would be too easy for you. He’s brought you back to torture you for fun for a little while. Take it easy, you. Close your mouth, you are dropping your jaw."
