Chapter 431: The Wolf & The Pup Part 2
The sun was beginning to set by the time Stryg began to recognize the familiar scarlet trees. They were close to the Blood Fang village. Yet, instead of taking him straight to the village, Lunae turned down a familiar worn path and brought him down to the Frost-Tongue River. The cold waters were empty at this time of the day.
Stryg looked around questioningly. “What are we doing here?”
“Take a bath, you stink,” Lunae said.
He sniffed his shirt and frowned, “No, I don’t.”
She shook her head and threw the little goblin off. He screamed in surprise and fell into the watery shore with a splash.
“Stay here. I’ll be back.” Lunae walked away without waiting for a response.
“I–I can’t swim…!” he choked out.
Fortunately, the shore was shallow. With flailing arms, Stryg managed to drag himself to the rocky riverbank.
“Not fair…! You know… I can’t swim!” he said between gasps, but the wolf goddess was already gone. He kicked the water in frustration and sat down with rosy puffed cheeks and crossed arms.
