BAELAThat was strange coming from Aria. Now that sounded like a prophecy. When did Aria dive into prophecy? I scratched my head literally as I wondered about what she had just said and why she left so suddenly after saying it."So have you decided now, are you coming with me to meet the others?" Alpha Abbadon asked again, probably seeing how I was scratching my head.Now I am forced to make a decision, go with my instinct again and continue on my journey home with Aria, or take Aria's advice and go with Alpha Abbadon to meet with the others. Come to think of it, Aria had only made me look good in front of Alpha Abbadon, teaching me the necessary skills I need to survive out here while also watching over me. She had never been wrong so far and I hope she was right about this too."Okay I have decided". I said looking at him as his eyes brightened."Okay tell me, what is it?" He was eager."I will go back with you and rejoin the others". I announced to his delight. His face had now bri
BAELA"NO, WE HAVE TO GO TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD!" I repeated clearly. It seemed like I was talking irrationally to them all. I could see Alpha Abbadon look at me more cautiously than before."BUT I HAVE MADE MY DECISION, WE WOULD NO LONGER BE GOING TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD BUT INSTEAD BE RETURNING BACK HOME, I THOUGHT THE NEWS WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY!" He said."I AM HAPPY ALPHA ABBADON. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD BUT YOU CAME LOOKING FOR ME. NOW YOU HAVE FOUND ME, MY ONLY DESIRE IS FOR US TO COMPLETE OUR JOURNEY TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD". I insisted."AND OF WHAT BENEFIT WOULD THAT BE TO YOU? WHY SHOULD I RISK MY LIFE AND YOURS AND THOSE OF MY BETA'S TO CROSS THE GREAT MÉSIS SEA?" He inquired. He wanted to know my reason, perhaps there was more he had not yet revealed about his desire to return back home all of a sudden."BECAUSE I PROMISED TO FIND YOU A WORTHY BRIDE TO HE YOUR LUNA AND YOU PROMISED YOUR ENTIRE PACK YOU WERE GOING TO RETURN WITH H
BAELAI watched as Alpha Abbadon walked up to me after saying those words. I stayed rooted on the spot as the others headed to their rafts to push it out of the beach onto the sea. "It's time Baela, say goodbye to home and take my hand". He said, offering his right hand. I took hold of his right hand slowly as his words sunk in. I was really saying bye to home and to the continent I grew up in. Whatever lay ahead of us was a mystery we were going to discover.I got on the raft as he led me to it but he didn't jump onto it. The other Beta's were in two's as they waited for Alpha Abbadon to make the first move. Alpha Abbadon was holding on to the raft I was on still on the beach as he started to push it towards the sea. Now it was happening for real and I looked at the sea ahead of me before turning back to look at my home.I hope I get to see you again. I was looking at the beach and the woods of Gaiasania, hoping to be reunited with them once again. I couldn't reminisce for long t
BAELAI could still see the fishes flying out of the waters surrounding us as I dared to look at the water below. I leaned a little to the edge of the raft while I was on my knees and I could see a sort of shadow below, it seemed to be moving."I have never been out at sea before but is that supposed to be normal?" I asked Alpha Abbadon, as I stared at the sea below.I know Alpha Abbadon must have looked below to see what it was underneath us as fear gripped me to my bones. I couldn't move, I was paralyzed with fear."NO, THAT IS NOT NORMAL! SOMETHING HUGE IS UNDERNEATH AND IT IS MOVING!" Alpha Abbadon said, as I let go of the fishes I had caught in my hand. I quickly retreated from the edge of the raft to the middle that was safe.I looked around me and it seemed only Alpha Abbadon and I had noticed it, the others were still excited by the easy catch of the fishes."WEREWOLVES, WE ARE NOT ALONE!" Alpha Abbadon exclaimed to draw their attention to him. "SOMETHING HUGE IS UNDERNEATH
BAELA I was looking behind me eager to see what the Giant Octopus would do. The large numbers of school of fishes that were jumping out of the water were all but gone now. Gone in two large vortexes it had created from underneath the surface of the water. I could see the sea stop swirling in the direction of the vortex and soon the tentacles of the Giant Octopus started to submerge inside the water. "LOOK, IT IS GOING AWAY!" I declared with joy. Glad to see that scary being slowly disappear from sight. Alpha Abbadon and the others also turned back to catch a last glimpse of it, as it was almost submerged in the sea. "IT IS GOING UNDERNEATH, LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T RESURFACE SOMEWHERE ELSE". Alpha Abbadon said, still looking behind him. The giant Octopus had consumed a large quantity of fishes, I was positive it was now satisfied and we were safely away from its path and danger. Soon all the giant Octopus was submerged, only the large ripples and air burbles left from it could be se
BAELAThe giant Octopus was now beneath us. I knew it because I could see it. I was afraid but I didn't want to see it anymore for fear I might fall into the sea. Any second from now Alpha Abbadon was going to give the signal."NOW! TURN!" Alpha Abbadon exclaimed as Beta Red raft at the back were the first to turn right. Others quickly followed suit, going in opposite directions."BAELA HANG ON TIGHTLY". Alpha Abbadon said as he went right. We had succeeded in splitting successfully into two camps and we're spreading wider apart from each other. I knew the giant Octopus knew his meal was getting away but now it had to act fast and decide which of the two camps it was going to follow.It took it some few seconds to decide who he was going to come after. The fishes it was used to hunting did not behave this way and usually would group together for safety."IT IS ON OUR TAIL!" Alpha Abbadon said, confirming my fears. It had decided to come after us. It had followed the path of the last
BAELANow I could feel the tension in me and in our group as we were being forced to reunite with the others. We were on a course to meet them but they were ahead of us by hundreds and thousands of meters. I don't think we would ever successfully rejoin them, seeing how far ahead they were from us but whatever the case maybe the giant Octopus was directly underneath us."What will you do, Alpha Abbadon? Save us!" I pleaded with him, not ready to die like this, in the gut of a sea monster."I WILL SAVE US, JUST HOLD ON TIGHT!" "EVERYONE STEER RIGHT AND STRAIGHT AHEAD!" Alpha Abbadon exclaimed as he turned his raft heading right and straight ahead. Further right would take us to the legs of the giant Octopus but our course was straight ahead for the shores of Gaiamania.I could see the other rafts follow suit, we were no longer on course to rejoin the other splitter groups but had our own bearing. We hadn't gone far when our raft was hit from underneath, throwing me into the air. I d
BAELAI was glad to have taken some swimming lessons from Alpha Abbadon as it helped me stay afloat. I couldn't help but worry about him, about his safety, about what he was going to do as he went underneath the water by himself.I was separated from the rest of the werewolves. Some were still on their rafts moving farther away from me while somewhere meters away from me floating in the sea. I was all alone and I felt vulnerable. Was I going to be left alone to die at sea? "Alpha Abbadon!" I called out, feeling the cold of the water of the sea get to me. I was frankly searching in every direction of the sea for signs of him resurfacing from the water, except from looking underneath me.I was afraid I would catch sight of that dark blue and gray color I had become familiar with over the past minutes. I didn't want to know how close up it was to me now."Alpha Abbadon, say something if you can hear me!" I called out, as I kept afloat. Alpha Abbadon had been underwater for some minutes
