Runaway Alpha

Using the strength that I have, I let out a great punch on that weed thing. The vines that slowly trying to make a gasp into me blew up like a shattered glass as the parts of it fly in the air. I am nt really sure of what I am doing but I feel like I can easily do what is going on in my mind. I feel like… everything would be good eventually..

“”And just like that…”

I mumbled as the small glowing light that is blue in color finally went down as I pull it out of the ground. To be honest, I didn’t surely expect this thing to be like this. I mean…

This was so easy that I feel like something is strange. Even so I can say that everything isn’t truy impossible. This maybe a speacies of plant that is vulnerable in some attributes. And that attributes luckily side with me. Well, you can just thank the luck for those kinds of things.

“Well, now that it is finished..”

I mumbled to myself as I analyze the root of the plant I just killed. Well, I can’t truly say that it is some weird plant since even if I don’t word it out, it is truly one of those kinds.

There was a small sack that is strangely created out of unknown kind of thing. Well, maybe that substance do have some connection wth the reason why it is attracted to this box. Well, now that I d have the time to remember those things, I can admit that the plant truly have some kind of power. If the person who discovered this isn’t me… I bet some incident might have happened.

It is not that I am boasting myself, I am just stating the fact, that is all.

Using my sharp claw, I rip that sack out. Which surprisingly let out one weird red eads that is like a blood like colored thing. Although, unlike blood, its color is nothing but a little beads.

“That was… pretty weird”

I mumbled as I can’t figure out what was its usae. Eve so, I decided to pick it up and store it in a container I always carry. Better do something than feel sorry.

After all, I am that kind of person who would eventually regret some of the things that I made.

Now hat the beads are properly stored in my small bag that is hanging on my waist, I decided to put my attention into the roo of that thing I just killed.

Well, that is somehow weird to say it but, that vines is moving on its own makingit have it sown life. That just means it is a living being. Me killing it is truly understandable. I did kill that plant…

Even so, I don’t feel any slightest of regret in doing so. We are in the jungle. It is either this vines die, or I lose a limb or two.

I then gulp as I recognize some strange thing. It is glowing and emitting some small radiant light. Although it suddenly fade for some reason, I can assure that truly, it emit some light.

“OOne, two, three…”

I counted the number of the bead that is attached on the end root of it. Just like what I have thought, there is indeed a base or core in this plant. The main reason why it have some life.

Smiling in contentment, I didn’t bother sitting on the ground for I know that I am dirty anyway. Doing his job for a short while truly make my clothes run durty. Hah, I should get ready to be scolded in the house.

I slightly close my eyes. How weird would it be, the hated having dirty clothes but clothes that are torn into pieces are just a normal thing fr them. Hah,

Wanting to punch my face for thinking such things, I sometimes wonder if I am truly a wolf. This place, this body, I can’t help but feel like there is something wrong with me.

Putting those beads on my palm, I wasn’t surprised by the fact that it is somehow similar to the red beds from a while ago but it is bigger that the previous small ones. The color is also different. To the point that I would have doubts if it is really something you can see on a land. It somehow look similar to the descriptions of pearls that you can only see in a place that is full of water.

Slowly placing each beads on the hole under the box that I am also holding, It didn’t surprised me when it is a perfect fit.

“One, and then this… two… lastly this…”

Somehow, there is a small anticipation in me. I am a little anxious of the thing that I will sa won the inside of this box. What might it be, I have no idea.

The only thing to know it is open it.

Putting the last beads that is needed to be placed, I then heard a sound of a small clicking as it attached itself on the back of the box. It is as if the beads itself is being hastly in going in hat spot. Hah, that was weird

As soon as those beads are completely placed in the holes, I stopped and analyzed the thing that might have happened.

Seconds passes by, turned to minutes, and… my excited face finally turn to poker.

Just what the hell is wrong with this thing? Isn’t it supposed to bring out some weird thing like those blinding light or flashy thing? Hah, maybe I am just thinking things that are beyond my imagination.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Butt how weird it is that even the paddlock that was hindering me in opening the box is still there. Nothing much change. Weill, to be honest, nothing literally changed.

With a disappointed look on my face I touch the lock of the box with surprisingly emit that strange sound telling that it is finally open.

Why… How…

I was let stunned on my place as II can’t fully digest what truly happened. I was… the key in triggering that lock ? How come…

And as soon as I opened the box, the thing that welcomed me is nothing but a weird hair ornament that only girls would wear. The pattern is rather old but you can see how sturdy and durable the material used is. It is indeed no ordinary material.

Raising it on the sky, the light coming from the moon touches iits surface creating a wonderful color of light that is reflected by the moonlight.

I thought that it was everything that  can get but to my luck, the dizziness I am feeling from a while ago seems to came back and let me off guard. With that, I feel my body hitting the ground.

‘Can you see that land?’

‘You mean to say that part where the mountain is placed?’

‘Yes, I heard from a servant that there is a passage to the moon bath cave’

‘A moon bath cave? How strange… Does it mean it is talking about your sister?’

‘I am not sure if I should laugh or not, but yes, mortals call it like that’

‘Do you want to go in there?’

‘Surely, I would love to’

‘But wouldn’t you be in a big problem if they knew that the saint’s angel was with a small god like me?’

‘Silly, you should have think of that the moment you went in my quarters and bringing me in this place’

‘Sorry, I never thought of it, I was so delighted by the fact that I can spend time with you again’

I then felt a caress od her hand touching my face. Not knowing why this is happening again, I can say that someone is controlling my movements. Or maybe I should say that once again, I am having a perspectives of other person.

‘Once the war between Maeve and your sister finished, let’s do our promise… shall we?’

Her soft smile, even if the image wasn’t that fully bright, even if the surroundings was also blurry, one thing for sure, the hand of my touching her hands holding my cheeks fells really real. To the point that I would doubt if it is even a dream or what.

“Uhm… Emric? Em.. rick?”

Did I just heard someone calling my name?

I questioningly asked myself as I am not sure of what is happening.

To my surprise, my hand felt some warm skin touching my palm,. As well as my cheeks seing carressed by someone’s hand.

I then open my eyes only to see a beautiful lady worriedly looking in front of me.

“Lha- Lhana?”
