Runaway Alpha

” Lianna… what should we do? should we just go back? There are lots of people here and ”

Shaking her head, Lhana wants to leave his brother there since she was so annoyed on his words but still remain calm. After all, she can’t say anything and do anything hastily.

” Brother… ”

” Yes? Shall we leave now ? ”

” If you want to leave then you can leave alone. You are aware why I came here and saying such words would do nothing for me to change my mind. I am quite sure you are well aware of that ”

And as Aillard look at his little sister, he cant help but sigh as he can do nothing at all to change her mind. Her goal is clear and no one can stop her for that.

Thump

Halting, Aillard notice how his sister hold on her head.

” Lianna? ”

But she didn’t answer making him nervous on what was happening to his dear sister.

” Hey, are you all right? Is there something wrong? Tell me… hey, speak ”

But with her shaking lips she gulp.

” Emric… I heard his voice… ”

” Emric? But… but, where, you, you can see he is no where here ”

Confused, Aillard can’t help but stutter on his words. There surely is no way for lianna to hear Emric. And also, no one knew where he really is. All that they know is that there was a shatter glass orb on the house where emric vanish.

But those are not enough for them to know where he is. Isn’t that the reason why they took all their time to see Cavian?

” No, I heard him… ”

And before she can scan the whole place searching for the owner of that voice that she heard, pair of hands then touches her shoulder.

” Who- ”

Hands almost being cut into two parts, Lhana was quick to notice that it was Cavian. Making Aillard to get back his hands that was about to hurt Cavian.

” Do not ask to much. We have no time to lose. Let us go back in my place ”

.

.

.

Even if Aillard have suspicion on the man that suddenly appeared as if he was aware of their coming,

” Cavian, do you perhaps know what this thing was? ”

As soon as Lhana show him the pieces of broken gem, Cavian quickly recognize what that thing was

” That thing you were holding, it is a magical orb ”

” A magical orb? ”

First time hearing that kind of term, lhana and Aillard are both not aware that that kind of thing does exist.

” Yes, a magical orb. It is a powerful gem that holds energy. And once this gem was crushed, multiple casted spell will occur. But judging this orb, the energy left… if I may say the energy resonates the teleportation magic ”

And soon as they heard that, it was surely possible. After all, it would be the reason why emric suddenly vanish.

” Teleportation magic… ”

Holding her mouth, Lhana can’t help but be worried. After all, who knows where emric might be?

” Then… Cavian. Do you perhaps know what… what place did emric land in to? ”

Tapping his hand on the table beside him, both Aillard and Lhana’s heart seems to be pumping faster. As if they would hear something they have been looking forward to hear of.

‘ Emric… I wonder if you are doing fine… please… please be alright. Please be…. Well… ‘

And as he tap last of his finger, Cavian open his eyes and mumbled.

” Forgive me but… it is something I can’t find right away. The energy is scattered. I am not sure how long will it last. ”

Even with his capabilities, he can’t find something as that. although it may seem impossible to be done right away, Lhana can’t help but still find hope. After all, he never said it is impossible. He just said that it may take time.

That alone is enough for her to know that it is still of hopes. That she will still meet Emric again.

‘ That crazy guy… I will surely wake the hell out of him if we ever met again! How dare he make me worry this much?! That emric… You are always making me worry…. ‘

Face full of sadness, Cavian suddenly realizes something.

” But… if ever any of you hear anything… perhaps a calling. Tell me right away ”

“A calling? Lhana, you told me a while ago, right? You heard emric, you said that? ”

Looking at her brother, it is also the same thing that was on Lhana’s mind. That thing that Cavian called as a calling… somehow, it made her wonder if what she heard is the same thing as that.

” You heard Emric? ”

Cavian asked as he was intrigued in what Lhana would say. Then a small nod of her head then confirmed what Aillard told. Indeed, Lhana heard Emric.

” When, how, and what did he say ?”

Lhana was questioned about that matter. She just answered it based on what she heard. But that alone, will it really be helpful for cavian to know where emric was?

” That is strange… that isn’t something that appeared in the textbooks that I have with me ”

Cavian then mumbled. Still thinking about the things that he learned.

With the magical orb that they have as well as the voice of emric that Lhana have heard…

” Perhaps… some higher being was… the one behind all of this ”

Stuttering as he heard the big name that Cavian said, Aillard can’t hide how troublesome things are for his mind.

” Ah, you mean… a higher being? How, why, how is that even possible?? ”

A higher being are those that are immortal. Living in a realm that was different from theirs, it was said that they possess great powers that surpasses human and mortals imagination.

But to think that cavian would dare say that it might have something related to those creatures, even if it is emric, Aillard can’t help but be worried in how the things would turn

” You mean gods… ”

Nodding his head, Cavian confirmed Lhana’s guess.

” Indeed, you are right… no mortal can even cast a multiple spell in a magical orb. Casting one spell is even hard to attain specially if the orb is the likes of this. ”

Looking at the crushed magic orb, it was true that what cavian said seems possible.

” Your Erhendem was a closed area. As long as you are inside, your safety is guaranteed as you are a wolven. But aren’t you curious of why this orb suddenly appeared in your place? At your house to be exact? ”

Thinking about it, Lhana can’t help but mumble.

“Because it is a higher being that have a power surpassing the shield of the Erhendem ”

Aillard look at his dear sister. She was a bright person even when they are just a little. Indeed, it is a blessing for every family to have someone genius like her. But with all the responsibility that she holds, even as the wolven in the prophecy, there are just times that Aillard can’t help but be worried.

Be worried about the fact that he can do nothing for her. Be worried about the fact that more dangers may fall upon him and he have no strength to even give her safety….

But that fact is something that Lhana is aware of. And that worries is something that is visible in Aillard’s face. So visible that even cavian knew that it exist. That even cavian can read.

” You have to talk to them. Just like mortals, they all have enemies and allies. With the shield that your Erhendem have, I will not be surprised t hear that the goddess of the moon will talk to you ”

As the girl in the prophecy, it would be possible if it is her. But, the goddess would talk to a wolven? A mortal?

Even the elders finds it hard to communicate with the goddess. They will just have a dream or what. communicating with a goddess is possible. But it is more likely that someone died in sneezing than having the chance to talk with her.

‘ I need to talk with her. If it is for emric… then there is nothing else to worry of. Goddess of the moon… lets try that. if I remember there was an altar in the secret chamber. Even emric told me that one time… if it was there… it might be possible to make a bridge that would help me communicate with a goddess. But… isn’t that place locked years ago? And guards are there to not let anyone enter. Even if it is emric… ‘

Thinking of any solution she can find, Lhana then look at her brother.

Someone strong, someone capable of luring the guards out of their post..

‘ If it is him… if it is my brother… I believe he can do it ‘From NôvelDrama.Org.

” Brother ”

Lhana called him. making Aillard look at her right away

” I… I need you help. Please do me a favor ”

The time when she would need his help, Aillard knew the moment she was born, the moment he hold her small little hand, he oath to his self that no matter what, lhanna will always be the little princess he wants to have a happy life.

He would do anything for her. He would do it even if it seems impossible. He would do it, as long as he can see even a slight hope for it.

” Yes? Tell me what you need, Lianna. I will do my best to give it to you ”

Having such brother is a blessing. To have someone that will love you like a treasure that only appear once in an immortals life.

” I need to enter the secret chamber ”

” Secret chamber? You mean the one that we have back in the elder’s… ”

And as she brings out the key that was originally in emric’s possession, Aillard doesn’t know what his sister’s motive was. But there is just one thing he know.

Even if it is a locked place that wasn’t opened for years based on the order of the elders,

” Sure, I will bring you there “
