Uhm, let's check the new things, shall we?
King's Might – The strong will of a king, this title brings confidence, willpower, and an outer aura of highness.
Hell Army – Brings forth Hounds from the holder's elements, the amount depends on the MP used and the level of the skill. Can make rare invocations who holds some abilities from the caster, the chance grows with the level. The creatures, however, do not have a mind of their own, holding into the last order the holder gave.
Voice of command – An imposing voice used to give and maintain order, used right it compels the one hearing to obey, used wrong makes you a tyrant that cannot turn your back at your subjects or stop giving out orders. Works better in canine creatures.
Humanoid Transformation – The caster is able to change to a humanoid form with similarities to his animal form. Does not bring down status, though may need some time to adapt to the new form. Does not change with objects, such as clothes.
How the hell did I get that last one? I remember the others abilities from the battle, but I don't remember hearing that… wait, from the battle? Maybe I ate the crystals from the Clothed Mummy? It said that it could change appearance and whatnot, but still, why it was already at Max?
Weird, really weird…
I yawn, seem the words fuse in front of me until I'm drifting into a restless sleep.

We were once again in one of the many houses around, but this time in a more fancy one.
I enter the kitchen, starving, following the smell like a fly, stopping in the entrance only to take in the vision.
Somehow, Leonel felt… different. More mature, calm…happy? Weird kid.
And he was taller than I.
Not happy about that.
He was wearing an apron with two brown bear paws coming from the sides with ”Free Bear Hugs” writing in the middle, and a fluffy bear face in the pocket. I muffle a laugh, at first, but seem his slim and compose and slim figure cooking, proving the food, his long fingers warped around the wooden spoon mixing with a calm expression made my cheeks heat up for some reason.
I go forward only to trip on a small carpet and almost fall down, gripping the counter for my dear life.
He looks at me then, pushing a hair behind his ear, as a mischievous smile crooks his lips sideways. He looks me up and down slowly, I glim coming over his golden eyes, and says:
”Who is the brat now?”
”W-Wh-”
”Or a pup would be better?”
” Oh, and I'm older too.”
”And taller then you.”
His eyebrows rise with every word, as if daring me to oppose the comments.
”But I'm smarter.” I puff my chest out, even though he still is taller and older than me. He crooks his head sideways, and with a laughing voice says:
”Oh, really?”
Why do I feel like the one been treated like a kid now, oi!
We went to the table to eat, and it was the best food I have ever, ever ate; however, it would have tasted better if I wasn't been stared down all the way through the meal.
…
”Why are you looking at me like that?” He smiles.
”Looking like what?”
Like I'm the most precious thing you ever saw in the world. I swallow dry.
”Never mind.” I say, feeling my cheeks warm up.
”That's really cute you know?”
”C-cute?!”
How dare he!!
”Cute my ass! I'm a ferocious Hell Hound! I'm made of fire! I can toast you to ashes! My fangs are bigger than your finger! I-”
”Uhum, you what?” He says, that smirk curving up his lips while he supported his chin on his hands and observed me, intensely. Hell, what the- Hell, my brain doesn't work well under that gaze.
”Cough, anyway, where are we going now?” I try to change the subject, and he notices it by the way his eyebrows rise slightly.
Where the hell that cold faced boy went? I think I'm harvesting off what I planted, right? Ha, haha.
Oh god, Mother Nature, Voice of the Night, anyone really, have mercy on my poor soul, I think as I see him crocking his head sideways still-staring-at-me.
Oh boy.
~~~~~
Oh, what's this?
This is really happening?!
HIS
TRANSFORMATION~~~~
*wiggles eyebrows*
