2024-10-29 19:42:56"Emric, I am not a baby you need to protect. We promised to each other to not be the burden, right?"
A promise to not be a burden to each other? Did we have a promise like that? I... don't remember.
"In our third meeting, you said it to me. To not be a burden for you. Remember?"
Ah... that day.
'Emric, the elders asked me something about you and Cressida. Do you know your responsibility?'
My father asked me that question. It was as if I am some old warrior, or a king who needs to take care of his people... this blessing of the moon... this prophecy ...'You are born different. Take hold of that responsibility you had'It was the day I lose my belief in the goddess of the moon. So many burdens to carry... So many tasks to accomplish... Don't they know? I am but a simple child who just wants to live like any other normal kid. I want nothing but a simple life that every normal kid has.
'Yes... Father'I kept silent. Maybe, I really said it. Thinking that it would be the best for the both of us. I cannot exactly remember the words I speak of that moment. The only thing I am sure of is that... That day was truly... Unpleasant'Emric Damen!'My father shouted out of his anger. He heard that I speak ill towards Lhana. That girl... As much as I want to defend myself, I knew that it is I who was wrong. I knew that I have no right to defend myself. I did say those words out of anger. Speaking ill to your fates one is... Not tolerated in this pack. My eyes turn dull. Hah... Is it really good to be me?Some children feel jealous about the life I am living. Even my friends, no, even the other children I talk to feel that towards me. They hated the fact that I am part of the oracle. That I look like a hero or a prince in the prophecy. That is something truly wonder if it is indeed a blessing or a curse that will make my life fall into miseries.I was welcomed with a great punch that makes me fly to the other corner of the wall. Father is truly wonderful. No wonder why many people admire him. His strength is domineering. A real alpha indeed.'Emir! Calm down!'My mother shouted as her voice is trembling in fear. She is a calm and collected woman but when it comes to my father... mother can do nothing but feel worried. Father loves his family as much as my mother wants our family to be happy. But then... She feels helpless especially when it comes to my father. His authority is making us hard to breathe."Emric, you seem lost in your thoughts. Are you even listening to me?"
I heard Lhana call my name. With a bored look in my eyes, I tried to hide the bitter feeling I find in myself."Yeah"
"You really are weird"
I look at the surrounding. It was... Ordinary. Still, I can't erase the way I am feeling right now. Something feels off."Lhana..."
"Yes, I sense it too. Thank goodness you are finally back"
"..."
Ahh, so that is what she is talking about.
"Let's keep moving""Alright"We walk carefully. Analyzing the surrounding that is somehow new for us. I cannot help but feel like things are going smoothly. It looks so easy that it feels suspicious."Ouch"
I heard Lhana growl in pain. She receives a small scratch from a sharp thing that almost pierces her skin. Thankfully she has good reflexes that she avoids it but not completely."Are you alright?"I asked
"Yes"
A glowing light that is a hue of royal blue escapes her palm. It is my first time seeing her use that power she obtained from her first awakening. That is the power to heal.Part of the blessing given by the goddess of the moon."Be careful next time"
"Yes, I know. Even so, I can just heal myself if I get hurt right?"
Fool. Even if she can heal it is not that she doesn't feel pain. Even so... It is not that I am in the place to tell her what are the things she needed to do. "Look over there"I mumbled as I look at the place where a large cliff is waiting for us. There is a bridge that is worn out. If you look closely at it, the wood and planks used to build that bridge are nowhere from being sturdy. I assume it would collapse the moment some force was placed upon it. Even a small piece of stone that drops on that bridge would surely make that thing collapse. How old is it? I do wonder.As I look at the surrounding of the place, the vicinity looks as if it was all-natural. As if there is nothing wrong with the whole are. Still, it looks so natural that it feels so weird. "Don't let your guard down"I mumbled as I continued to leave marks in the area we pass through. I make sure that there is a thing or two that will guide us back to where we came from.
"You are drawing?"
She asked me. I nodded in response and let myself continue drawing a map to remind me of the places and sides we went through.
"Do you know what place will we go?"I can't answer her question. Even I do not know what lies beyond this place.
"Whatever happens... I promise to not be a burden"
Shut it. I hate..."Do remember that the promise also includes you. So do not be a burden to me too. Okay?"
"Yeah, sure"

I can’t help but feel bothered about what she said. It is true that I speak ill to her before. Still, it is not that I feel bad saying those words. It is just like what my mother always told me… I shall hold responsibility for everything I say and everything I do…I saw Lhana pick up a piece of rock. She clenches it tightly as she smiled. I wonder what will she do about that rock. To my surprise, the rock fly in the air till it hit the old and shaky bridge. Tak, Tak, Tak That sound can be heard all over the woods. I look at her with questioning eyes. Why did she do that? I do wonder. And before I even have a chance to ask her those questions, the sound of the bridge falling apart while making creek sound can be heard echoing all over the woods. That is something that I expected to happen the moment I hear the sound of the stone hitting the platform of the fragile wood bridge. And soon after. it collapses leaving nothing but an empty grip between two rock forms. Clappi

Lhana shouted. I place my hand on my forehead. I told her to be careful! Yet... this... girl... "Oopsie" She giggled as she sat on the ground. There was a soil that is not sturdy enough to handle her weights which is why she got out of balance and fall. Should I help her? But I think she would just hate me for doing so. Thinking that I am accepting the fact that she is a burden to me. That I need to move to my own accord just to help her. I didn't move and just watch her stand up. Luckily it wasn't the pond that is named to be invisible. I thought she would fall and find it. Still, there is no use for that since it is probably a millennium or centuries ago. The said lake or pond maybe now gone. "Hah, Luckily I landed very nicely" She mumbled. I sometimes wonder if it is really her. When we just first met, she looks at me as if I make her hair go bald or something. That I took something important to her. The second time we met she seems to be neutral. As if I am a

As soon as the most started to dissipate the place, we finally saw a figure of a person who seems to have very long and pointed ears. It was as if he or she is something they called as... "Elf?" We both asked in unison. The voice seems so powerful. Is it the same person as the one who created this ritual stone? Suddenly, I feel as if something cold is covering my feet. Looking in the ground I saw how water with a luminous color started to circulate in my feet. I look at Lhana, even she is mesmerized by the water. "Who are y-- you???" I asked in surprise as I saw a small elf. Not an elf. A very small elf. It was as if she... is some kind of a flying mosquito. Well, that is an exaggeration but... he is tiny. I look at the wide rock wall. The very same spot where I saw that figure just a while ago. Indeed. This... Small elf is really the owner of that shadow. "Wow, what a cute little fella" "Who did you call as cute and littl!- ehem- who dare call me as cute and little? Thou

As soon as the little elf came back her consciousness, she saw the two of us being back in our normal form. Thankfully, Lhana brought clothes with her that I didn’t even notice where she hides it. But because of her, we now have clothes to wear. Still, I am not sure why she brought a shirt that is so much big that it fits me. I wonder if it was Ailard's... I just shook my head and looked back at the elf. She was so confused about who we are. Now I remember that she haven’t seen us in this form since we transform to our wolf form the moment, she appeared in front of us. "Who are you?" She asked while holding his head. Maybe she got some headache after falling and being unconscious. I just look at her and Lhana was the one who answered all her questions. I am just sitting here while laying my back in the stone wall as they talk to each other. As much as I wanted to be in their conversation I didn't try to since I might have shredded her into pieces if so. I look at

Early in the morning we went outside and made our way in the direction of the invisible lake to travel in the surroundings of the forbidden wall. Thankfully my father didn’t questioned us since it is one of their plan that we must be together always to have our bond stronger. I let them think that we make all these things because we’re finding the treasure pieces so that our wish can be granted by the elders. "Are you ready to went out again?" Lhana asked me which I didn’t replied. I just pushed bithe big round rock that I place to hid the hole connecting to the outside of the forbidden wall. To be honest, this is not just the forbidden wall in this village. I find out that all the forbidden walls sets around in this area is not similar to each other. Why did I say so? that is because the one that was in the other part of this village was a fence and in this area... the f

I rushed hurriedly to the direction of where Warner is going. I don't know the reason but... I can see that Warner is not feeling well. It is as if he is afraid of something. I just followed him until he reached their house. The house and where he and his grandmother lives. It was a simple little cabinet is made up of woods and barks. One can say that this is not a very proper place for one to leave. I somehow feel sorry for him, this is the 1st time that I saw his house. Still, I am sure that this is worth in the absence he hurriedly went inside maybe he wanted to see the condition of his grandmother. I can look at this surrounding of the house. I can see that not all the parts of it is fully fixed. Some needs maintenance and the state is not That horrible but then I can say that this is a place that inspired good for someone to live at. I walk inside thinking that I am such a blessed person to live in a house with full of comfortable place and not in a place like that. I liv

I was left with no other choice but stare at the hole that is connected on the other side. It is the bound that lies the forbidden place for each of us in the pack. Why does Lianna's scent is in this way? I was so surprised to see that there was a hole connected to the place that we are not allowed to go through. The truth is, I've been wanting to come out of this place that seems like a cage for everyone but I know that they did that for our safety. Lianna is not someone who will disobey the rules but as much as I can remember Emric is with her that is why there is a big possibility that she is outside this place because Emrick told her to do so. I frown on my eyes as I realize those thoughts. How can that piece of shit make my precious little younger sister disobey the rules of the pack that have the heavy punishment lies on it. I've heard that he had made lots of bad things or bad image in his studies but I never know that he can make my precious little sister make those thing

Emrick POV "Emrick are you sure that this is the right place?" I heard Lhana's voice as she follows me in the place that even I don't know. I am full of confidence about every corner of the forest round the village which I never knew that outside the village, a whole new place is about to be known. "I am not sure if it is just me but I think that some scale in this place started to change" "Huh what do you mean by that I thought you already drew a map about this..." "I did but all the markings that I left feels like it never exists in the first place... I also wonder why that thing happened" And so, we stop in our track as we remember how the little elf may be wondering nicely all over this place to see whether she remembers all of this track base on her memories. Come to think of it, we never saw her since we last met yesterday maybe she is the reason why all the markets they left are now nowhere to be seen. "It is the elf Who did this thing" We both said in unison as we lo

Runaway Alpha Epilogue
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
