Primordial Dimensions

Chapter 10: First Taming!



Chapter 10: First Taming!

This information astonished the guards slightly as taming skills were extremely rare because they were not only incredibly expensive but furthermore not as practical as other skills due to their high requirements one has to fulfill before purchasing it.

Even the lowest [Mortal-(Bronze)] Skill tome for Taming was probably 10 times more expensive than common ones, without taking the efforts to fulfill the requirements one had to fulfill to obtain the permission to buy it.

They could only nod and let Shane through as the beast inside the bag was extremely weak compared to the strength of common guards and if a Low-Wild Shadow-snake were to escape, it was still somewhat acceptable.

If something were to happen, Shane would still be held responsible and punished.

The guards messaged their Captain through the system, that a Shadow-snake youngling entered the proximity in addition to his name, which was prescripted.

Looking at the message, he received through the system, the guard captain frowned lightly.

‘Why would you begin testing the taming skill with a Shadow-snake youngling? Other beasts are much easier to tame for beginners?’

But the Guard-Captain couldn´t really understand this youth and he decided to remember his name if something were to happen in the future.

Neither the guards nor the guard captain found the name [Shane Suro] suspicious and they would never imagine that he could possibly be the son of their president John Stella, or even remotely related to him.

This had many reasons.

One of the reasons was that not many humans knew that John had a son or Shane even existed.

Only their servants and the federation’s highest authorities, in addition to some other important families, knew about him.

In total, probably only a few hundred humans knew about Shane´s existence while his family name was still kept secret.

Shane always introduced himself as Shane Stella, instead of Suro in front of his father´s colleagues during important events and balls, because he wanted his family name to remain his own, personal secret.

Another reason for him to keep his family name a secret was exactly for the shelter inspections, where he had to show his name.

There were only a handful of humans that could connect his family name to his father, which was exactly what he wanted.

Without the servants, there was only his fiancee and his father’s friends that knew his family name, because his father told his fiancee.

While his father was touring around all the time, Shane was more curious when he would find out that his only son vanished from home than the possibility to get found and he smiled lightly while walking down the dark alley.

Right now, Shane could see more humans strolling through the streets and he could even see a few food stalls when his stomach began to grumble.

The dirt on his face and hands was slowly washed away from the heavy rain that poured down from the sky and his appearance didn’t look that bad anymore as it had been when the guards inspected.

As such he was still served food without showing any prejudice because of his dirty looks.

He bought a large but weird looking piece of pizza that smelled extremely tasty, in addition to fried rice cakes, and sat down on a chair, where he ate everything with relish for 3 bronze coins

Shane was never allowed to eat junk- and street food, as such he was extremely happy to savor the taste, and the woman who sold him the food looked at him with a faint smile, disregarding the small prejudice she received due to his dirty appearance.

Upon looking closer, she had to acknowledge that this youth could be considered extremely handsome if he washed his face.

After he finished his meal, Shane thanked the vendor and went further down the street, where he found the shabby building he searched for.

It was an Inn that required a renovation but Shane didn´t care about that and he purchased the cheapest room with a basin of warm water for 5 bronze coins.

Shane lived luxuriously his whole life but he didn’t mind the shabby room he sat now inside and he closed the door after he received the tub of water.

Before he could wash up, Shane opened the leather bag, and the Shadow-snake immediately bit after his hand, which he immediately took back.

With a slap on its head, the Shadow-snake youngling felt dizzy and collapsed on the ground where Shane seemed to hear a faint whimper sound.

“Don’t attack me and I won’t hurt you…Easy, right?” Shane explained in the [Primordial Language] he learned since he was four years old.

It could be said that most humans learned the Primordial language as their main language because it was way more important than their own planet’s language as every race spoke it.

Due to that, everyone grew up bilingual and Shane found the primordial language extremely interesting, as he had never heard such a pleasing language ever before.

Every being inside the Primordial Dimensions could at least roughly understand the primordial language and the snake looked at him with fear in its eyes as if it wanted to plead for mercy.

Shane only shook his head with a faint smile as he began to wash up.

The room was completely sealed, even though it looked shabby, there wasn’t much space for the Shadow-snake to flee and its head hurt way too much to even think of fleeing.

In addition, it was extremely exhausted to the efforts it took to break out of the cruel leather bag, but everything seemed useless.

It didn’t want to die, but the human in front was too strong and it´s will to live seemed to grow weaker.

Shane never averted his attention and gaze away from the Shadow-snake youngling and he was astonished to see that it seemed so intelligent.

Normally, beasts would either go berserk in such states or give at least everything in their might to prevent dying, but this small fella next to him knew that its darkness enveloped fangs, couldn´t seriously injure him, and even more importantly for Shane was, that this Shadow-snake didn´t simply follow it´s natural instinct, which might be helpful for him.

“Little fella… I have a proposal for you… Do you want to be my companion?” Shane asked and the Shadow-snake looked at him confused like it didn´t know what it meant.

Pondering how to explain it the easiest, Shane released his Innate Skill [Taming] when a small but complex white magic circle appeared on his hand, shining impulsive as if it was alive.

Seeing the magic circle, the Shadow-snake instinctive slithered back and hissed as if the magic circle was something evil and it knew, once the magic circle bound it, its freedom would vanish completely.

Shane looked at the Shadow-snake and was unsure what to do, as such he continued talking, terminating his Innate Skill

“I won’t force you but I’m confident that you’ll have a better life with me. You can receive good food, and journey with me through the dimensions. Maybe I´ll be able to help you become stronger and evolve into a Shadow-python or even mightier existence in the future.”

He didn´t like forcing anyone to do something but he really wanted to have this Shadow-snake as his companion, because it seemed more intelligent than its brethren.

With his statement, that it could grow stronger, Shane mainly dependent on the Shadow-snake’s potential and ambition, so he couldn’t really tell how far it would be able to go.

Even though the Shadow snake seemed more intelligent than its brethren that didn’t mean it could completely understand what he meant.

It had only been born a few days ago and couldn’t think of anything else than growing.

However, that was before it smelled the food, Shane ate previously.

It also wanted to eat the same thing but that wasn’t possible at its home.

As such its stomach won over the instincts and the Shadow-snake slithered towards Shane.

Both Shane and the Shadow-snake didn’t know that [Artemis’ Blessing] played a huge role to establish an amiable relationship until now as the Shadow-snake liked Shane more than it hated him for killing its brethren, which was uncommon.

Shane thought with the Shadow snake slithering towards him, it accepted his proposal and he smiled while releasing his Taming Innate Skill.

The white, vibrant magic circle appeared once again and Shane targeted the ground and the magic circle appeared on the wooden floor.

Still slightly hesitant, the Shadow-snake entered the magic circle and a white light enveloped the snake, as a connection was slowly formed between him and the Shadow-snake

Around five minutes passed before the white light vanished and the mechanical voice echoed through his mind
