Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

It didn't take me a second to know that this was the tiger whale.

But why the hell was it looking at me?

I was beginning to think that this was personal and the tiger whale was only here for me and not for the ship or the people on board it.

Because firstly, it attacked my room and almost drowned me to my death.

Secondly, it was now looking at me with its large orange eyes. Its eyes stayed unmoving with its gaze fixated on me as it crossed over our ship and dived into the other side of the sea.

Surprisingly, even though I felt a shiver crawl down my spine the moment I locked eyes with the tiger whale, the first thought that crept to my head was if I could tame the beast.

I had two more slots to tame a new beast.

I had the book that would make it easier for me to do so.

The tiger whale was currently what I needed at the moment because it was strong and dangerous. Even its size was enough to scare away enemies.

Okay. This beast was definitely what I needed at the moment.

Regardless, how do I tame it?

Or how do I get its blood?

Hold on!!

Where is the book?

I ran my hands through my clothes as I searched for the 'Fantastic Book Of Records'.

I remembered holding it in my hands when I came up here until….

Turning my head to look at the position I had fallen when the tiger whale had attacked previously, I breathed out in relief as I quickly ran towards it to grab it.

"CAPTAIN!!!"

I could hear Mad John yelling toward me. And when I turned back to look at him, I saw him handling the steering as he controlled the ship, albeit with some difficulty.

"HANDLE THE HELM, FOR NOW, I WILL THINK OF A WAY TO HANDLE THE BEAST" I shouted at the top of my lungs for him to hear me.

The tiger whale's actions had created a very big wave that threw our ship to the other side, causing the winds to increase as we were now controlling the ship in other for it not to capsize.

"AYE CAPTAIN!!" Mad John screamed back at me with a huge smile on his face.

For some reason, he was thrilled, laughing as he steered the ship through the unnerving waves.

I wonder what is up with him.

Nevertheless, it seems that the book didn't burn from my touch.

Hmm!! Regardless, I wasn't surprised because I expected no less from a book that had hauled me to another world.

Still, I wondered what else was on this ship that my flame couldn't affect…

Hold on!

Oh no!!

I immediately brought my hands into my pocket.

What have I done?

Bones.

My heart almost stopped when I saw the small burning rodent in my hands.

I closed my eyes my emotions settled down from the thrill I felt before.

"Goodbye Bones, you were my very first person in this world of magic and fantasy" I said, conveying my thoughts and emotions through my link with him.

Although we haven't had any kind of adventure together as I had planned, being my very first tamed magical beast held a very special position in my heart…

" "

" "

My mouth paused as I closely looked at the still-burning rat in the palm of my hands.

I didn't pay close attention before, if not I wouldn't have noticed that Bones wasn't burning.

Yes, his body was set ablaze like me, but his flesh was still okay and didn't smell like the meat of a roasted rodent.

Maybe it was due to my vision being dyed in the bright yellow-orange flame that made me miss such a small detail but thank god that we both shared a connection if not I would have missed the mixed feeling of confusion and apprehension that he back when I conveyed him mine with which was mixed with guilt and sadness.

The little rodent was still alive.

I didn't know if it was due to him being my tamed beast or some other reason why he wasn't been seared apart by my flames, nevertheless, I was grateful that he was safe.

Though, it looks like I will be doing a lot of experiments after this was over.

Still, he looked quite cool at the moment.

A flaming rat!!

Now he looked no a tamed beast with a useful ability to burn his enemies, albeit on a smaller scale.

Turning his body as he laid his back flat down on my palm, I could feel Bone's emotions of contempt and pride that were conveyed to me.

Oh really!! Did you have any useful ability that you could use against an enemy before?

And who the hell are you directing that contempt to?

The emotions I felt from him disappeared as he turned his tiny head to look at the other side as though something important had caught his eye.

I snorted.

I would have glazed over this since you looked cool and useful at the moment, but you just had it to let it get into your head, didn't you?

Look at you looking all prideful and looking down at my words in contempt.

You know, I am thinking of taming that tiger whale as my next beast. How about I let you guys fight it out and settle your differences together so that you can prove yourself and back up your words of contempt?

Bones shivered, and I felt another emotion being conveyed to me.

An apology.

The little guy was promising me that he won't do it again.

I chuckled under my breath.

Don't worry, your tracking ability looks like a very reliable skill. Just don't overestimate yourself, and we won't have any problems.

Now stay put, I need to catch a bigger fish.

I placed Bones in my pocket and quickly ran towards the beak of the ship which was at its rear end while looked for anything sharp that would help me draw out its blood.
