Chapter 49: Chapter 49 - Dogman
"Hey Kid, is something wrong?"
Feeling the goodness that radiated from him I also gave him a genuine smile and said.
"Yes, mister. I am having a small problem Can you help me?"
"Oh! are you lost or something?" Even as he said that I could see in his eyes that he was actually slightly worried about me when he said that.
Even I was shocked seeing his look, like you just met a random kid who suddenly says he has a small problem and you instantly get worried.
I get that a child getting lost is worrying but if a child were to come to me asking for help I would immediately reject that kid thinking he wants money or something.
But I still have to keep up with my lost child act as I looked at him with brows creasing and mouth shaking and say.
"I-I don't know where I'm suppo-supposed to go, Sir?"
"It's Alright, Don't worry about it. We'll find you your seat okay? So do you have anything with you like a train ticket?"
"Ye-Yeah, my mommy gave me a thing like that" I said and started to search all over me "I-I think it's here or something."
My act was working wonders on the guy as he said "It's okay you don't need to search so quickly, I'm sure it's there you just have to find it throughly."
I searched around me for a while and finally pulled it out of somewhere in a child like fashion and said excitedly "I Found It" and gave it to him.
He adjusted his glasses before looking at it thoroughly and slightly widened his eyes while thinking 'Such a price full ticket. The kid might be someone important. His parent's might have forgotten him because of their business like nature. Sigh How can some parents be so careless even though having everything'
After looking at the ticket thoroughly he gave me the ticket back while saying to me.
"Kid your sit is in the 1st carriage of the train and this is the 19th Carriage for the C Class Subjects."
Then he pointed towards my left and at the very back and said "Just go straight towards that direction and keep going until you find the second last one, that's your seat or more like your room."
"Oh and if you ever get lost finding which carriage you are in, just look at the door of the direction and in the upper side of the door there will be a number that will show you what is the number of the carriage the opposite side is."
Man, the guy gave me very useful information. Is every dogman like that or is it just with him.
Well it doesn't matter he helped me very much so the only thing I can do to is to thank him and give him a gold coin NO two coins.
I thanked the dogman while slightly bowing my head towards him "Thank you very much mister."
"Haha, no matter, no matter it's just a simple thing but I think you should quickly find your train otherwise the speed at which this train starts going you wouldn't be able to keep your stance." He said and pointed to the window which wrote.
[ Departure in 1.31 Minutes, Please Find Your Designated Seats and Fasten Your seat belts Until the Minus-Zero Phase ]
I nodded to him for the extra information before throwing two gold coins at him which he caught thinking that it was some kind of gold chocolate.
"This is for yourself, Treat yourself to a fine life."
The Dogman became confused at my phrase and before he could ask what I meant I bolted towards my room.
He sat confused for a while before thinking it was some children s*it and threw a gold coin in his mouth to eat it. But when he tried to bite it-
"Crack"
A crack sounded and something in his mouth broke as he threw the gold coin out on his hand and put his fingers in his mouth to pull out a molar teeth and looked at it confused.
'What the hell did I just eat?' He questioned before thoroughly looking at the gold coin close to his eyes and nudging his glasses. He creased his brows at first not completely recognizing the gold.
The Dogman was called Ellis E. Johnson. Ellis was a social worker for 35 years of his life.
When he was young he was often bullied by the fellow humans for his distinctive features and always lived in fear of the humans.
That was until one day when there was a beast riot occurring and he was unfortunately outside to get groceries for his sick mother and a Giant Alligator Beast had suddenly attacked his side of the country.
Normally a beast couldn't attack a city unless he could fly quite fast or he had already killed the guards but there were some cities who were close to the border of the kingdom and the unknown wilderness.
And Ellis was someone who stayed there all his life because he was a class C subject because his parents were also class C subjects. As he was coming home after buying groceries suddenly the siren had sounded which was the sign of a Beast Riot and knowing that he was in a city which would be the first to get attacked, Ellis ran as fast as he could to go towards his home.
But suddenly from the right side in front of him the 6th floor building was burst open like a watermelon. He was shocked looking at the scene before the aftershock came and through him off balance as he fell down on the floor as dust came a moment later to cover his vision.
In the dust a huge shadow was slowly emerged as it looked here and there.
Unbeknownst to Ellis, he started to cough as the dust got into his lungs.
The huge shadow quickly looked towards the sound and noticed him.
After coughing Ellis cleaned his dust filled glasses with his t-shirt before noticing something. He looked and saw that a huge shadow was looking at him and was now approaching him.
Fear gripped him and he couldn't move from the place as if he were paralyzed. And as the huge shadow approached him it's body was revealed.
It was a Alligator Beast. The beast was 30 feet in length and 19 feet in height. It had an armored body with embedded bony plates all around it's back and it had a flat tail. It also had reptilian eyes which were light brown and it's teeth were all predatory.
As the beast approached him Ellis couldn't do anything but look at it with wide eyes. And as the Alligator came closer and opened it's mouth to slowly devour the delicious dogman a peculiar thing occurred.
A crescent light flashed and the beast stopped all its movement before his whole head was sliced open at the same time and spilled blood all over Ellis. Ellis didn't know what had occurred until a women came towards him.
The women was wearing light swordsman armor and had a sword in her hilt. She put a hand forward and said to Ellis "Hey, you alright there?"
That was the moment everything changed for him as he pulled himself up with her hand and started a new chapter in his life.
He slowly removed his insecurities and worked in social services to give help and joy to others. He never wanted to be paid back in kindness anyway as he had a lot to be thankful of life.
But today when he saw the two pieces of gold coins one of which was a little sticky and had some blood on it, he couldn't stop himself from screaming out in pure happiness.
"HOLY BIT*H"
