I gulp realization after I hear those words. To think that I can hear those words.. I feel like something is strange. There is no way that I can hear such words speaking in my head. This man in front of me doesn't smell like a wolf. Only wolves can communicate telepathically. I am not sure whether what i'm thinking is truth or something that can be called as a mere illusion...
That is all because of the fact that this place in the outside of our village which means that... something in this place is full of mystery... I can never tell whether what i'm seeing or hearing with all of my senses are the exact same that is happening in the reality.
But there is something in me telling and wanting me to believe by the fact that those things i've heard eyes something that exist beforeFidel... that name seems as if that person who was named that way is someone that is connected to me. It is as if the one who is called by that name have a strong cThe moon was bright tonight. I halt as I finally remember how I went outside the village. I mean. The part of the forbidden place. After planning on going in here, I went earlier than expected for Lhana send a message saying that I should meet up with her.To think that after I went there, I will meet the old person I've last seen ages ago already... I wonder what happened ne--"Fidel"I mumbled not knowing why I frown my head for doing so. Looking around, I can see a familiar sight."And now the little prince is awake" A weirdly familiar voice greeted me. Why does that voice seems to be familiar? It is like... I have heard it somewhere before. Hmm... that voice..."And wow? Are mortals really this kind of stupid? Don't tell me it's been century since I had a deep slumber??! Hey you! Are youstill the scary wolf named Emric? The one who ruined the ritual stone placed in here? You know he arrogant and all so migthy
I am not sure if I can still deny what she said. Everything that came out of her mouth makes sense. Me being cursed by the goddess... I am not that surprised. That is a thing that is not surprising since even when I was just a little, I never once apologize to the Goddess of the moon about my thinking towards her.That goddess of the moon, I hated her. I may be the male wolf in her prophecy but it doesn't mean that I shall give her my respect. The reason why my life have been difficult is because of her.“but you said that something is helping me?”“yes... The time you say that this scar revealed in your right leg, even I is surprised by the fact that you are still living by now. If... Not for that thing that is helping you... You are already long dead”Is it somehow related to sparkling little light that is entering my body? I mean... Everytime I see it, their count lessen. If so... If it is rea
To think that she will tell vauabe informations for free, I sommeho feel like there is something else into it.But even so, f what she said is really true then... this thing in my right leg is... a curse of a goddess.I can't help but have a look on my right leg. A cloth is coverig it and it isn't visible in the naked eye of a mere being. To think that elves have a power as that, isn't it... fairly amazing?Looking at the library, I feel like I can see something in here."Master Emric, nice seeing you around. You haven't visit for a week so I thought you already finished reading every single book in the exclusive chamber.."What he said is something that is impossible. After all, that place is like a paradise for me. To think that the space in thee is almost infinite. Many categories of books can be seen. It is odd though since I can say that some of the books placed in here are barely finish. It
"Maeve..."I mumbled that name. Why do I feel like I have hear it somewhere before? Trying to think of the part where I have an encounter with that name, it lead me to the memory of me reading a fabble about our erhendem village."Maeve... Maeve... Maeve..."I mumbled it for couple of times before finally remembering that part that I have read."The world was peaceful and every thing is calm. Not until a bad goddess appeared and brought darkness in the world. The goddess of the moon, Levana, as well as the mother of the wolves, Asena, did their best to protect the erhendem. But the wrath of the mad goddess fear nothing. The one that is the mother of the wolves perished in her hands. Blood of the holy wolf trail her hand and causes anger to the goddess who adored the mortal mother of the wolves. She was so mad but remain calm. Remembering the last wish of her beloved mortal, she uses her power as the goddess of the moon to pro
I can't helpp but fee chill running down to my nerves. That kind of glare is something I am not sure of… whether it is good or bad. The only thing I know is that… that kind of glare is… not any normal glare that a person can make.“You”I heard a word echoing on my head. Indeed, I can still the dizziness in my head but the only thing I can do is stand still. I am not sure whethr I can still keep on standing though. There is a strange force that i surrounding my body. I am not sure whether it is good or not but, I am thankful to the fact that I am still concious.Laughing on my thoughts, I may look like some crazy idiot talkng to myself.“Who are you? You are strange…”That voice who called me just a while ago, wait, did that voice even called for me? Well, even so, that voice who speak in my head again started saying something.Is he pertaining to m
Looking at my hands I can say that there is a small light that is forming from it. Slowly putting it in my sight I can say that my palm is forming a radiant light coming from the mana circle that I have created.Looking at it, I can’t see the sight of any person or human that is inside my palm. But judging by the reaction given by the one I am talking to just a while ago, it seems like using this strange thing that is on my palm, he can see a view of whatever my palm is facing into.“Woah. So that is how you look like. Indeed, base on my calculation… you came from that land… hah… how astonishing to know"Right now I can say that maybe if anyone saw me talking to me palm they would really think that I have hitted my head so hard making me run crazy for talking to me self like this. Even so, knowing that thing… what else can I do if there is really a person that is talk
I was surprised when the light fade out specially when that guy that I was talking to just now vanished. Never did I expected that I will talk to a person like him, even so, that ocurrance is something that I can say that is meant to happen.Why did I say so? That is because… With me meeting or talking to that person, it gives me clue on where is the other boxes that I have to find.Out of nine boxes that we have to find, the first box which is found by me and Lhana the first time I went out of the forbidden wall makes a count for me finding one out of nine boxes. With Aillar helping Lhana finding those boxes, as of now they have a total of five boxes in their hands. That makes five out of nine boxes leaving only four boxes that we must look for.Hah, I marked all the locations of the boxes I knew. I decipher it using the notes we gathered on the library. But I never told them the exact location. Well, I guess.. with
Slowly, the world seems to be scaring me for some reasons. Is it just me or something is really not right about the things that are happening.“Shit”I cursed as I realize how those vines that are attached to the back of the box that I am holding started to grow little by little engulfing my hands who seems to be its target. I gulp in shock.Not panicking, I started to pull my hands with all of my strength making me fall in the ground as I fight with the strength of those vines that are holding me.The moon is up and you can see how it's up above creating a great scenery from the sky that is full of small sparking lights we called the stars. Even the small spec of clouds are adding up a good thing as they make an illusion of those little light that seems to be sparkling in the night sky.I never once expected this thing that happened but then I can say that it is not that impossible to appear because
Smashing the wall turns then to pebbles. That is when Emric saw the very body that was chains on the center of a podium.‘ So this is where you are. You have that much courage when you could barely move? ‘Seeing how the chains seem to be on loose, he realized that the chain would break any time soon. And that is the hopes maevis have. Making him have the courage to do what he just did.To steal Emric’s body and get revenge on her sister, Levana. “ Maevis… I am glad “‘ I am glad that in this time, it would be you who would felt what it is like. To vanish in the world as if you are never been born. But unlucky you, you are not like me. Because you have no one to turn rules upside down just to get you back in this world ‘“ This is your end “...“ This are such good wine Aillard, you would really give this to us? Thanks! “With him distracting the guards, no one noticed how Lhana entered the forbidden secret chamber. It was not open for anyone as the elders feel a strong power ins
“ Emric… emric… what a nice name to have. Now that I have you here, I will no longer have to be locked in this body. Hah… that damn goddess, I never knew she would dare defy the rules just to bring you two back in life! How admirable for a sweet sister you have “Still talking to himself, Emric find his body covered with a curse. Just like what he had when he fought with a naga. But this time, it was much stronger as not just his leg was covered with that but his whole body.Not having the ability to talk, all the memories when he was in his first life appeared right before his eyes. Living as an achelois, the younger brother of the goddess of the moon, indeed… someone was the reason of his fall. Of his death, on his misery as well as Aylin.“ This power… this sensation, how much time did I lose because of that damn Levana? She didn’t even have the courage to do that to me when I killed that beloved wolven of hers. Wait, what was her name again? is that asena? The mother of wolves? “
“ Lianna… what should we do? should we just go back? There are lots of people here and “Shaking her head, Lhana wants to leave his brother there since she was so annoyed on his words but still remain calm. After all, she can’t say anything and do anything hastily. “ Brother… ““ Yes? Shall we leave now ? ““ If you want to leave then you can leave alone. You are aware why I came here and saying such words would do nothing for me to change my mind. I am quite sure you are well aware of that “And as Aillard look at his little sister, he cant help but sigh as he can do nothing at all to change her mind. Her goal is clear and no one can stop her for that.ThumpHalting, Aillard notice how his sister hold on her head.“ Lianna? “But she didn’t answer making him nervous on what was happening to his dear sister.“ Hey, are you all right? Is there something wrong? Tell me… hey, speak “But with her shaking lips she gulp.“ Emric… I heard his voice… ““ Emric? But… but, where, you, you can
“ What? do you now feel it? what a fool of you to follow me here isn’t it wonderful? Little Emric? “Echoing on his head, its been some days since he was transferred in this unknown place. It is like an underground that was made buy digging holes. Like a cave whose inside was unknown. Like maze whose exit was so hard to find.Slashing yet another small snakes that almost bit him,, Emric is almost out of his breathe. But the moment he remember the very words that naga said, he can not help but be filled with rage.‘ Try to let me be and I will make sure to once again kill that beloved of yours. Isn’t it right? Aylin? Does that name sounds familiar? I wonder… how should I kill her this time? Maybe I should just do what I did before… after all, isn’t it grandiose as even your sister can do nothing at all? ‘Hunger, thirst, none of that matters to him. as the only thing left on his mind was rage…Another pile of snakes was cut in halves, his face covered with their blood, it do smells ba
‘What are you going to do now? It is not just one… but… lots of me’A villainous chuckle echoed in Emric’s head as he heard that very voice. They says that the world is so mysterious that there are lots of things that we can’t explain. Just like the death that is inevitable. For both mortals and enchanted beings. “ How? ”‘ What do you mean how? How did I manage to be alive? ’Again with that chuckling voice that can’t help but make his mind go crazy.“No, You are dead already. You are gone … how did you…”The Naga, a creature that is a half human and a half snake. Shaking his head, emric can’t believe in what he was seeing. The fact that the very naga he was talking to died long time ago… that doesn’t hold any reasons on why that very naga is still in front of him.Fighting that creature give lots of changes on his life. And the fact that it died back then on the hands of his father made him wonder if that naga really did die back then. Or if it is just a misunderstanding.“ My fat
Years LaterLhana’s POV “ Max, I will not ask for your forgiveness… but… ” chuckling, my husband was so calm in his words. Talking with brother, its been so long since that day happened. The time when I followed Emric to leave the Erhendem… the time when… my wish finally do come true.A small smile can be seen on my face, I won’t disagree if someone call me crazy for smiling on my own. But it is just… being here with him… I never thought it would bring me this much happiness. Forcing a smile as reply, my brother tried to hide his glare to Emric. But I am certain he would surely hit him if I am not around. although in terms of strength… I am sorry to say but my husband is the strongest in here. “ How long do you intend to call me max? are we that close for you to do so? ”“ Are we not? You are soon to be my brother in law… right? ”“ You…. Who told you I want to be? ““ But Lhana choose me, you have no words for that ”“ Then if she choose to not? ”“ That won’t happen, I won’t le
Looking at the surroundings I saw how we are near a village. There, in the corner of it, a large tower was placed. Remembering how Cavian told me that he lives in a tower, I decided to give it a call. “Lhana, we will go to that tower” “Huh? Okay?” She didn't asked why, I just run with her by my side. As we run, I was surprised when those people loss our track. I didn't know they were that weak. Maybe we were startled for no reason. Soon, the tower was right in front of us. But something waz odd. There are dirts on the perimeter of the tower but it looks as if they were separated from the inside. The surrounding was dark and the grass inside are… All dead. “I think we can't enter…” Lhana mumbled holding a invisible glass that is separating us from the other side. With this thing I confirmed that truly, this was the tower where Cavian is. Putting my hand on that invisible wall, I frown my head when I can enter my body on that portal. “Huh?” Holding Lhana's hands we success
Adventurers? What is he talking about? And why does he wear such… Clothings…“We are not adventurers. We are—”I hold her hands. It isn't a good thing to state our names nor identity.“I am achelois… She is Aylin. It is nice to meet you… You are a.. adventurer. Right?”I started to speak not minding this girl beside me asking why I said such lies. I just hold her hand a little tight while I smile at the one talking to us.Giving his hand, I hesitate whether I should hold and shake it. He isn't some weird killer… Is he?But I don't sense any danger around him. Maybe that is because he is weak?One of the snake like species move and suddenly, the man who was holding out his hand use his feet to kick the species which make him stop moving.Alright, I will take back my words.“You are stron
The fated day came in just a glimpse of an eye. Everything was enjoying the great festive that the elders made. To think that they would gone so far to prepare such things, I never knew that this was prepared a long time ago.That all means that everything is settled.Knocking on the window of Lhana's room, I did a good job in hidingmy presence“Who- are.. you… what are youdoing here emric?“She mumbled realizing that it was me.“Do you want to marry me?““The hell i would want to!-”I closed her mouth while putting my fingers against her lips. She look away and stay silence. Just as I thought. Even her feel the same way. She also doesn't want to be paired with me.There are reasons why I wanted to go away. I don't want her to fall the same faith as Aylin. Just like Achelois… I feel like with those time that I was there, I adapt to every
