Runaway Alpha

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 shall speak!”

I was so excited to know who was the person behind that voice it sounds as if that very person possess something that even the elders don’t have. Still, the voice speaking right now is nothing compared to what we heard just a while ago.

Is she perhaps… Trying to mimic that very same voice?

Lhana walks in the direction of the wolf whose fur is brown and black which is basically me.

“Emric, If my calculation is correct… she- ”

“Yes Lhana, she is not the owner of the voice before”

The little elf gasp as she heard our claim. How funny, is she surprised that we knew her act?

I look around. As much as I wanted to change back in my form, I can’t. My clothes are torn into pieces. Putting my head on the other side, I let a deep sigh.

If not for that damn rock and this elf.

“Who are you?”

“Who are you! Why did you trespass in this place, are you a thief? A hunter? A…”

She gasps while putting both of her hands in her mouth.

“Are you perhaps the demon lord?!?!”

Right now, even Lhana let out a deep sigh.

“What is wrong with this elf? Is she insane? Whose the demon lord by the way? Emric… Does that even exist?”

Lhana looked at me with her deadpan expression. If I do tell her that this elf in from of us is insane, I wonder if she would believe.

“I bet she is nuts”

“What?? I am a high elf! You dare see me as nuts??! I’m wait…”

She mumbles the last part and talks to herself.

“A nut is fruit consisting of a hard or tough nutshell protecting a kernel which is usually edible. In general usage and in a culinary sense, a wide variety of dry seeds are called nuts, but in a botanical context ‘nut’ implies that the shell does not open to release the seed… Yes… That is what it says in the book”

She then landed her gaze to the two wolves.

“I am not nuts! I am a high elf!”

The two wolves look at each other.

“She sure is nuts”

“Yeah, high elf with low height and low IQ if I may as”

The elf stumps her feet and there is a small shimmer glims on the path she walks.

It makes Lhana be amazed. They then look at the water. The scenery I surely caught their attention.

“So, as I analyze the two of you… I assume you are a fox”

We both look at each other and let out a sigh. A… fox she says.

Lhana have a small stoic face. How can she tolerate being called as a fox.

A fox and a wolf are different. Yes we do belong in the same origin but to call a wolf as a fox… is she really making me loose my sense?

I am not aware that some dark aura is now being release from my body. if not for Lhana talking to my mind I would have eaten that thing already.

“Little elf, We are not a fox. They are a lot more smaller that us. We are…”

“Ahhh, you are a dog? Is that it?”

Right now, a small faint aura can be seen in her face. Letos see how long can you last in this stupi elf.

“Just kidding. You are wolves. Am I right?”

Now, we look in her direction. She is sitting on one of the rocks nearby. Playing with a flower that is bigger than her hand… wait what? a… flower?!

I growl as I stretch my feet ready to attack and defend.

“Ooops, the wind blows”

She mumbles even if there is no wind to be feel. The flower fly and before it even landed on our fac, it vanish.

“Fu fu fu, that was… hilar-”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Before she even finish her words I jump into her and make her face the ground using my feet.

“You…”

“Um…”

“Shut oup or I’ll left you here torn into pieces”

I growl in anger. She is really getting into my nerves. This small idiot fry… do elves always act so mighty like this?

“Emric, you shouldn’t hurt her-”

“What?”

I franktcally said without realizing that I almost shout at her.

The elf look at Lhana as if she is her savior.

Tch, how annoying if se would act like a good wolf saving somone in need.

“What I mean is, you should’t hurt her like that. Drowning her in that water would be nice. With that we can know how long an elf I mean high elf can last in water”

I chuckled. Her Idea is not bad. As soon as I look back in the small little elf that is cornered in my gasp, she fainted.
