183 The Trap (1/2)
Linri(?) searched through the bits and pieces of the memories in his mind but he couldn't make any sense of them. They were either too fragmented or too blurry. But at least right now he had a clue as to who he was. So the question was how did he get back his memories? From getting powers from the wolf but why? Did this wolf have some sort of connection to himself? Probably it did but the question was why didn't it recognize him? Maybe even the wolf didn't know it had a connection with him.
Then there comes the second question. If the wolf was somehow connected to his missing memories what about the fox? Did it also have some connection to his missing identity? Without meeting it he couldn't answer that question for sure. He needed to meet with it first. And possibly trick it to share its power with him just like the wolf over here.
”Okay, now that we are done with that what was your plan? How are we going to trick the fox? Just so you know they are known to be extremely deceitful so we can't easily trick it”
”It's easy, I am just going to throw you into its territory and wait for it to come out and then I am going to attack it,” said the wolf taking pride in its genius plan. Linri(?) could see it wagging its tail like it did something good. He sighed. It was his mistake to expect anything from this overgrown dog.
”That won't work but no worries. I have a plan!”

”Calm down! It is not the same gods. Honestly, I am surprised that you weren't aware of this”
”Then you know who it is?”
”I don't know but he had said he made a deal with two deities. From what I saw your son has different powers. In the day he can use fire while in the night he can use ice. So we just need to figure out which gods he might have made a deal with”
Lyra then remembered about their family trip to the Forest of Rundabar. They had gone to investigate an ancient ruin connected to the now missing Togk civilization. It was also around that time that Linri had first shown signs of awakening so maybe he had made a deal with those deities but if it was like that there was a problem. There wasn't much known about that civilization so Lyra did not even know the names of their deities.
”Can you ask your friends from hell about the Togk deities?” Lyra asked Richard after giving it some thought.

A beat-up Linri(?) was running through volcanic plains. Lava was coursing through the ground and with one little misstep, he could burn his legs. He was running with everything he had and the wolf was chasing him. It had a bloodthirsty expression on its face. The moment it caught up to Linri(?) it was going to eat him.
Linri(?) tripped and fall to the ground.
The wolf walked up to him slowly, growling. It was going to end this pesky human once and for all. It was then fire spewed out of the ground making the wolf fall back. However, it was tenacious, it didn't leave and was walking around Linri(?) in circles. It was ready to pounce on him again.
”Oh, why are you treating our little guest like this little wolfie?” said a gorgeous white nine-tailed fox.
”Back of fox! This has nothing to do with you!” said the wolf refusing to back down.
”It has everything to do with me. I can finally see a face aside from your ugly mug and don't forget. This is my territory” said the fox as it slowly walked in front of Linri(?).
”Huh! We can go again if you want! I like seeing you tuck away all your tails and then run away” said the wolf provoking the fox.
”Hmph, that might be true normally but you should know that in here you can't defeat me!” said the fox not giving up.
