POV: Phoenix Kade For once, I'm fairly free this afternoon. My only assignment is to clean Woola's kennel. In other words, to sweep away Woola's dung. While working, I pinch my nose in disgust. "Can you stop shitting in the kennel? That's so disgusting!" Woola has been relaxing off to one side, soaking in some sun. Upon hearing me dare to lecture him, Woola sits up and flexes all six limbs, then stares at my behind with his red, ape-like eyes. Woola bares his teeth and lets out a growl, as though he's about to charge forward and give me a bite. "Alright, alright! Just pretend I didn't say anything." My butt clenches involuntarily. I really am afraid of this irascible creature, who has caused me no small amount of pain in recent days. Woola is actually a bit more powerfu
