Runaway Alpha

The fated day came in just a glimpse of an eye. Everything was enjoying the great festive that the elders made. To think that they would gone so far to prepare such things, I never knew that this was prepared a long time ago.

That all means that everything is settled.

Knocking on the window of Lhana’s room, I did a good job in hidingmy presence

“Who- are.. you… what are youdoing here emric?”

She mumbled realizing that it was me.

“Do you want to marry me?”

“The hell i would want to!-”

I closed her mouth while putting my fingers against her lips. She look away and stay silence. Just as I thought. Even her feel the same way. She also doesn’t want to be paired with me.

There are reasons why I wanted to go away. I don’t want her to fall the same faith as Aylin. Just like Achelois… I feel like with those time that I was there, I adapt to every single memories that I saw…

It is not that I am wanting that thing to happen but…

Isn’t it good enought to prevent thing before it do happened?

“Hey, you looks so serious”

Lhana wake me up from my thoughts which makes me smile bitterly.

“About the ceremony that will happen this evening”

“You mean the wedding ceremony?”

I somehow feel bad about that… Should I tell it? But she have the rights to know…

“I am planning to go beyong the forbidden wall”

“Didn’t we done that before?”

“No, you are wrong”

“Huh?”

“We were fooled”

“Fooled by who?”

“The elders”

She was left silent. Truly, she never expected me to say such things. Maybe she was thinkingof the reason why I said such things

“The part of the forbidden walls we saw aren’t the real forbidden wall. If so, then the elders will surely have done some big actios and send us to the disciple with heacy punishment. But aren’t you curious why after all this time, they are letting us in and out to the forbidden wall we are thining?”

“That do make sense”

“Did you find the last box we are looking for?”

“…”

“…”

“Emrick, seriously? Do you really think we will be in this situation if I do have that box with me?”

“Don’t worry, I never expected you to find it anyway”

“Then why did you asked for it?”

“Because I wanted to know it coming from you”

“…”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“…”

“Emrick…”

“Yeah?”

I was still standing on the side cement of her window as she look at me while standing from the inside of her room.

“Where do you plan to go?”

“I don’t know… somewhere far”

“Do you hate me that much?”

“No”

I respond quickly which makes me surprised by my action.

“Then why-”

“It was for the better future. I am sorry for what I wiil be doing”

“You know what? I sometimes think that there are something weird in you since we were a child. But…”

I feel a small prick on my forehead as she smile at me.

“Don’t think that—

We were surprised when her mother called her.

“Lhana??”

I smiled then wave goodbye. She looks worried but I just smile. Even so, I hear everything that she said. Which makes me wonder if it will do come true.

***

And on that very night, th ceremony of the marriage of an alpha and luna in the prophecy never happened as the alpha who was one of the main person on that event never appeared.

***

To think that I will reach this thing I just remember… I never knew that there would be another place outside our erhendem.

Thinking about such scenery makes me feel anxious. What lies behind this place is still a mystery.

I let out my hands as i tried to touch a seal which glows and respond with the mana I let out. Even so, that circle isn’t fully done. Something is missing…

But… how…

Surprised by the fact that someones hand touches the other half of the seal, I was blinded by the light before I even saw who it is. Even so, I knew for sure that there is only one person who can be the one behind that character.

As the light faded, my thoughts didn’t failed me.

It was her.

“Lhana… you came”

“Why so surprised? Didn’t I said that you shouldn’t think of going away alone?”

She giggled. Looking up above we were mesmerized when a magical lines slowly have its way to our direction and flying up to the other side.

“What was that?”

We asked each other which makes as laugh for we said it in chorus.

“who said you can copy me?”

“And who said that I am copying you huh?”

We were surprised when we sense danger. It sense as some other creature we once encounter.

The snake like species from back then.

Charging their way I immediately punch them without even having the power since they charged to fast before I notice it. But to my surprise, even with that kind of little power, the said creature fly miles aways.

“HUh”

I frown my head not believing what I just saw.

“Emric…”

Lhana called me which makes me surprised. She was holding two of them at the same time. They can’t even land a strike.

I gulp and in no time, we completely wipe out those creatures.

“What was that…?”

Even Lhana was surprised by what she just saw.

“Wait… I can still sense someone coming to our direction”

We were surprised when a man suddenly appeared wearing some weid clothes as he hold a sword and armor on both of his hands.

“Holy moly!”

He exclaimed as his sight fall to the direction of the snake like speacies pile laying on the ground.

“Did the two of you did this?”

He sound so surprised. We can see how a sweatdrop from his forehead.

Not knowing what to say, I am thankful that Lhana speaked.

“Yes, why?”

“Who are you people? How did you manage to… kill plenty of them when they were so strong? Can you tel me what rank of an adventurers are you?”
