(POV: "MC". Time: ... Sometime after they gave their gifts to the sacrifice (Bingvar)... I don't know, I don't remember :P. Location: A big and too futuristic place for a fantasy world... how weird).

One day, while I was researching some things, thinking about some theories about my body and Avatars, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"..."

I already knew who it was, so I just put away what I was doing to continue the bet.

...

(Time: 3 days later.)

- He fought well and improved in the fight. My advice was taken and assimilated quickly, though I suppose a lot of it had to do with my attacks being aimed at destroying and amputating. Without sweat and blood, there is no improvement... *laugh*, especially without the latter.

Watching Bingvar, I see that he's breathing wearily.

"*Laughter* Can you continue because it doesn't look like it. There are already 15 minutes left on the clock and you couldn't beat me... I guess I won't have the joy of serving as a mount for some glorious warrior and riding him into battle, how sad." (MC)

While making a sad and lost expression, Bingvar recovered a bit from his apparent tiredness and said.

"15 minutes?, that's more than enough" (Bingvar).

With his comment, my smile grew almost disproportionately.

"Hehehe, then make your move or there will be no more time" (MC).

Without waiting for his response, I lunged head-on at him.

*BOOM*

My fist struck his shield, and while on another occasion I might have taken the opportunity to use the rebounding force and rotate my body to kick his side, Bingvar had proven to have learned the painful lesson, by using his shield to take advantage of the force of the impact and back up rather than hit me back and receive a counterattack from me.

As I moved in again and began to throw blows that only left afterimages in their wake, Bingvar took the opportunity to use his sword in a vain attempt to hurt me.

*TING

The sound of iron hitting iron rang out. His attack had not hurt me in the least, but he did manage to deflect my hand and gain a moment of rest that he did not waste by throwing one of his two shields at me.

Easily dodging the throw at close range, I said.

"That was a very grave mistake on your part" (MC).

Without waiting for his response, I continued to throw punches. This time I used his other shield, one that seemed to glow brighter and brighter after each hit.

Soon his shield was glowing so brightly that it was a little harder for me to see what was in front of me. Even so, I continued to strike, until I had to move away to dodge an attack that was aimed at destabilizing my legs. What I didn't expect was that the shield I had thrown and dodged would hit me in the back again.

*BANG!

I didn't take any damage so I withstood the impact easily, but Bingvar had taken advantage of the fact that I had moved away, to throw himself at my position and hit me with his shiny shield. What happened next took me a bit by surprise, because when I positioned my arm to defend myself, a big shockwave pushed me.

I slid across the floor as I tried to quickly regain my balance, only for my feet to end up slipping on the fallen shield that had hit my back.

Bingvar had not wasted the moment and had thrown the shield with great force in the direction of the wall behind me. The only thing that happened, though, was that the shield hit the wall and came back his way.

-Bingvar is imitating Captain America... which explains why his shield increased its brightness with each impact... they created a shield with a similar function to the black panther's suit... this is incredible. I must know how it is composed.

As my hunger for knowledge kicked in, the shield that Bingvar had thrown had reached him. Bingvar masterfully caught the shield in mid-air and with a somersault that would dumbfound any human being, hurled his shield that had glowed back at me.

Amid my daze, I only defended myself as a reflex and the shield crashed into my arms.

*BANG*

*CRACK*

The shield had slammed into my arms and the impact plus the shockwave affected them, generating a break in my arms and forming cracks in them.

After hitting the shield it returned to Bingvar who had picked it up again and with another pirouette, hit the ground with his shield, which increased its brightness again due to the great force generated.

I came out of my daze and balanced myself. I looked at my arms, with one side slightly dented and cracks running down them.

"Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... HAHAHAHAHA" (MC).

I started laughing hard.

While I was laughing, Bingvar had taken the opportunity to slam his shield into the ground increasing the glow of his shield.

After his shield glowed again, he lunged in my direction. He threw a punch that I blocked with my arms that I was still fixing.

*BANG!

The shockwave pushed me back even further. I almost had the wall on my back. Bingvar on the other hand had retrieved his other shield.

With a big smile, I said to him.

"5 minutes" (MC).

To which he responded by clashing his shields.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG* *BANG*

The sound of his shields seemed to encourage him to give his all in what would be considered the home stretch.

From one moment to the next, he lunged at me again.

My arms were still not fully recovered. Even less so now that they had again suffered a shockwave that increased the damage. Still, with a toothy grin, I launched myself at it.

I used my legs and tail to attack, now that my hands were recovering.

Although Bingvar gave it his all, the next few minutes of fighting could only chip my tail a little. I fought with everything, and he used his shields as boxing gloves. Sadly, although he caused me damage, he could not defeat me, and finally, time ran out.

(POV: UNIDENTIFIED UNKNOWN)

Nidhogg looked at Bingvar with a big smile. The latter was sitting on the ground, recovering from all the effort he had put in these 3 days.

"Hehehe. You have survived 3 days of confrontation and as promised, you can ask me to make you any kind of equipment. You can also ask for my blessing" (MC).

Bingvar plunged into his thoughts. But before he could give his answer, Nidhogg threw out a tempting offer.

"Although, we can also make a deal." (MC)

With a huge grin that showed all his sharp teeth, he said to Bingvar.

"A deal in which, not only will I help you improve your warrior skills, but you could also get my blessing, and maybe I could give you a full set of equipment. All in exchange for your help with something." (MC)

Bingvar looked suspiciously at Nidhogg. Though the latter just kept smiling as he looked directly into Bingvar's eyes.

It almost seemed like he was looking straight into his soul.

"What would you need my help with?" (Bingvar)

The little lamb asked. The temptation of power had caught his attention.

"It's easy. I need you to help me train someone very important. After that, I'll give you all your rewards."(MC)

The wolf replied with a big smile.

After the little sheep hesitated, he nodded and said.

"Very well" (Bingvar).

Even though its sharp teeth jumped into view, the little sheep was too distracted by the temptation to notice its destination.

"Perfect."(NIDHOGG)

Soon the wolf's body began to grow and grow. Its shape changed and now 5 times bigger than the little sheep, it spoke.

"There you go, Bingvar" (The wolf).

And watching dumbfounded as the wolf had transformed into a monster before his eyes, the little sheep, at last, understood the deal he had made.

And without being able to say anything about it, ThE mOnStEr OpEnEd ItS jAwS wIdE, fUlL oF sHArP tEEtH, AND IN ONE BITE DEVOURED THE HELPLESS AND TIRED LITTLE SHEEP IN ITS ENTIRETY!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...

(POV: UNKNOWN NOT IDEN$%&/#%!#$%------....)

...

(POV: MC)

-Well, that was fun. Now I just have to wait until Bingvar can teach her properly. I think she has a lot of potentials.

I nodded to myself and then said.

"Why are you hiding behind the door?" (MC)

...

"Come" (MC).

Soon a small figure compared to my current size appeared.

"Did you enjoy the fight?" (MC)

The small figure, with a totally confused face, said.

"Why did you devour it?" (¿?)

With a smile, I said.

"I was a little hungry." (MC)

Then there was silence, as they both stared into each other's eyes.

...

"Pffft... *laugh*" (MC).

"What's so funny?" (¿?)

"You, of course. But don't worry, he's fine" (MC).

I said, rubbing my belly as if I had overeaten.

"Here" (MC)

I said as I pulled a glowing shield from between my teeth.

"Keep this for him" (MC).

She stared dumbly at the Shield I handed her.

"By the way. I liked the enchantments you put on it. I hope you don't mind if I use them sometimes, hehe." (MC)

"..." (¿?)

"I'll be leaving tomorrow. You can tell Odyn for me, next time grant more power to his subordinates. Otherwise, they will all be mere snacks." (MC)

"..."(¿?)

"As for Mimiron... I will take it upon myself to congratulate him for creating such an amazing shield." (MC)

"..." (¿?)

Turning around, I moved in the direction of my resting place in the huge room.

With the use of my tail, I ruffled my guest's hair a bit.

"Well, little Helya. I take my leave. I'll get some sleep to digest this better, hehe." (MC)

With her hair completely tousled, Helya was momentarily stunned and then left the room.

-*Laughter* This is so funny. The next time I see her she'll surely be upset... What should I do to cheer her up?

* Yawn*

-I'll sing her a song. Maybe that will cheer her up.

As I was thinking, I drifted off to sleep.

(EXTRA SCENE. POV: An adorable, plush, species-destroying doormat. Time: Observing the first ProtoDracs. Place: ... They were born by Rasganorte. I'm in the future Rasganorte...)

(Image of the location and the small field menace, Here.)

Snow-covered the northern landscape of the mega continent Kalimdor. The mountains, the trees, and the ground. Everything was covered by a pristine layer of snow.

The sight was beautiful. Although such an event was practically something new for the planet that had just been freed from the clutches of the dark corruption that had plagued it a few hundred thousand years ago. I was already a bit bored with the view.

Sometimes I flew over the landscape and enjoyed the peace that radiated from this place. The cold wind crashed against my body. The sound of the icy wind and the calm in the white landscape. Such was the peace that could be achieved in this place.

I have been observing various areas of this world, hoping to observe the birth of the species that would one day gain prominence in history.

As fate would have it, I have missed almost all of them. Mostly because I sleep for a few years before waking up again.

The ones I haven't missed are mostly the birth of the nature spirits. Those who will be "Wild Gods". Those who are born in the future "Emerald Dream". All thanks to the mother tree.

Interesting events.

The Protodracos on the other hand. They have escaped my gaze and I missed their birth. Although I can imagine how they came to be, the current ones are too primitive to what the WOW canon stories tell.

I know they will evolve from these almost mindless beasts into large, cunning, and intelligent predators. When that happens, I will be there, watching. This time I won't miss the growth of one of my favorite creatures.

As my small footsteps were lightly marked in the snow, I marched up a small hill.

I would jump and play lightly in the inches of snow down to the ground. Occasionally I would imitate the actions of the arctic foxes from my previous world when they were hunting prey.

I would stand on my little hind legs and then propel my front paws to open a hole in the snow.

All these senseless actions were done to keep time and enjoy my small stature. Besides getting used to acting tenderly in this way. Soon, in the not too distant future, all this effort will have been worth it.

Author's Note: I apologize for the delay in returning and updating. A series of events have happened in such perfect order, that I have been unable to use my computer to write.

I wanted to save some chapters and then get them all out for my glorious return. Unfortunately what I had saved didn't suit me days later, which was when I had the computer free. Therefore, this chapter is a re-done one. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope to update more often. I don't promise to update tomorrow, but I'll pray that my computer won't be taken away long enough for me to get another chapter out.

Among other things, this chapter was almost ready yesterday, but the power went out... XD.

I wish you all the best. Have a great day and a good night. ^^
