Runaway Alpha

“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 protect the mortals that her dear friend is trying to protect. And so, the world was doomed but not the land that Asena cherished.”

Hah, now that I remembered it, it was the myth in this village why we shall not get out of the borders. The wall that is fobidden was casted by the goddess a long long time ago which keeps us from dying. We have been living for a long time with no major problems occuring. The one that is a snake like monster was stated to be a being that is lingering in the borders of the forbidden wall.

If there is really nothing but wrecked world outside, then why is there a new being lying in there? Even the occurance of the strange things outside can’t be explained.

This erhendem is truly full of secrets. Zecrets that i can never tell whatis the meaning by those. To think that some small informatiions makes sense… I feel like my questions would be answered if I look for clues.

Over this years, I can say that Lhana and Aillard haven’t had the chance to complete the box that they are looking for. Even so, finding finding fifth of the nine boxes they have to find is fairly good achievement.

I stretch my arms which makes a book fall on the ground.

Ehh? Did I bump in this thing? But… that is impossible. I mean…

With a frowning face I look at it only to see that it is impossible for this book to fall because I bumped on it. The shelves is also not that fragile, there are no wind to push this to making it fall. To add that conclusion, this book is not that light and I can say that it’s cover is fairly heavy.

With a questioning eyes I never knew what is the reason of this thing falling but one thing to be cleat. This thing isn’t something you can find elsewhere.

The design and scriptures of this thing is odd to the point that you can distinguish it even if it is place in a far place. The size of this thing is no joke. I bet it is as big as the boxes that we need to find- wait a minute.

I frown my forehead as I think about it. This kind of wood vines coveribg this whole book, this same texture… This same smell….

Why do I feel like I have seen it somewhere before? This is so nostalgic I can’t help but feel weird.

There seems to be a drum banging on my chest

Dug

Hah, what is this? This is really weird… Why do I feel like my chest will explode at any moment?

I can’t help but feel a little dizzy. No, not this time. I have to stay concious. I never knew what will happen this time. I shall remain calm and be on guard. There is a big waste of time to undergo in that situations again.

Taking a big deep breathe I focus my mind on the book I am holding. I still feel a bit dizzy but there is no time to be unconscious. I feel like there is an answer in here that I have long asking for.

I can’t possibly take the risk of not looking into it since who knows this might disappear all of. a sudden. Just like how it appeared with even making any hint. Everything that comes always goes. There is no use of regretting it in the end of the day… What happened will never be brought back.

“A world full of mysteries, some spend their lives to gain thee. What waits for them is clarity, not a speck of eternity”

I read that riddle though I am not sure of what it really means.

Mysteries? Clarity? Eternity?

Who is this book even referring to in the first place?

I then turn it to the next page and saw a weird circular thing drawn into it. A… Spell? Maybe a magic circle?

I look at my surroundings and saw no posible paper for me to draw. How I regret not bringing my things. What I have in me is but a piece of pen for me to write. I didn’t even think of bringing my paper notes with me since I didn’t planned to stay in this shelf in the first place.

Hah…

Looking at the drawing in the book, I can say that it is not complicated. It is simple yet full of detail.

“Maybe I can just draw it in here…”

I mumble to my self showing my palm as I tried to copy the image that is shown on the book. Thanks to my attributes as nw of the oracle child, there is something unique in me. I just discovered it not to long ago when I am drawing and scribbling something.

If you put a concentration in every curves and lines you created, as long as you put mana into it, it can create a glowing lights surrounding your drawing. Now I feel like this should be the one Lhana said before as mana circle. I didn’t tried to listen into it since back then I don’t think that it really exist. Now I feel bad for not listening to what Lhana said before.

Completing the mana circle I created, there was a light that show in front of my sight. I am not certain about what it is but there was a hot… No… It is kinda warm… There was a warm thing that is placed on my palm. The very same palm whom I draw that mana circle to.

I close my eyes feeling all so weird as I feel like million of gaze was thrown at me. Is there someone watching me?

I then gulp. Truly, someone is indeed looking at me!Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
