Chapter 21
There was a weird scent that is scattering all over the air space. It was as smell that is eroding all over the place. I can sense that it is not a cent of a normal wolf. No, in fact, it isn’t a wolf.
How long has it been since I smell a different scent other than the scent of the wolves, my origin?
To be honest, I didn’t feel or smell any scent coming from the little elf when we first met her and even if she was with us… her scent is not known by my smell.
I stopped at my thoughts as I remember that the little elf was with us a while ago but then as Ailard and all of us came here, we never saw nor feel her presence.
Lookin around, I saw a little sparkling thing that are floating above the air.
Is it perhaps the elf?
I asked myself but no one answered me. The little spark then made it’s way too mu direction.
Surprised by the action, I didn’t let it bither me since the smell of that creature is turning more severe. I immediately walk my way toward the same direction of where that smell is coming and even if I can hear how the other, Ailard, Lhana, and Mira, opposed with what I am doing I just keep on going.
“Emric stop! What do you think you are going? come back!”
“Hey stop”
They are evacuating yet here I am running toward the very same thing that they’re running from.
That thing is not a simple as it looks like. The sense of something dangerous is lingering all over my body. I can say that these thing is no ordinary.
But then why did it came here in the first place?
I know that the village is closed and lock with the help of the ritual stone just like what the little elf have on her place.
I stopped as I remember something. Even so, I didn’t hesitate to continue walking as I tried to analyze whether my understanding is correct about the situation that is happening right now but if it is really true then…
Maybe some other forces from the outside break the ritual stone just like what I did…
Remembering how I kick the weird ritual stone on that invisible lake, I can’t help but feel like my superstition is not wrong.
I am quite sure that the ritual stone on the center of our village is not the only ritual stone we have in the wolvendom.
If not for the guidance and protection of the ritual stone… surely danger will come to us. But then what might be the force that triggered the layer protecting us all over this year’s?
Even my great great grandparents said in the book that they passed down for our generation, they are saying that they are grateful to someone that we are not sure whether who is it… but then they are all thankful to that very same person for protecting and casting speel all over our wolvendom. They said that it is the blessing of the moon goddess. The force that is keeping us safe from other forces.
I know that we are not the only thing in this world. We are the wolves and we live together with other wolves that are part of our pack. What we saw yesterday, there’s an elf that mean to say that the existence of other species are indeed true.
You’re not the only one in this world
I immediately rushed toward the very same direction on where I sense that the scent is becoming stronger and stronger as I took a step forward
And there I stopped as I saw a very different creature that have a very long scale together with it’s very long tail as well as his hair is as long as what the woman in our village have
Even though I can say that that species is not a woman but a man just like me… he seems to have no genitals at all. Just like the description of a merman….
What is he?
I thought to myself as I never seen creature other than wolves for the long period of time
I suddenly stopped as I questioned my question my word
Long period of time… it is not as if I was born with other species in our village. I am so sure that the only species I’ve seen in my life are wolves and wolves and nothing little else… nothing more nothing less.
And so with that weird feeling started to doubt my memories
I was surprised when a small piece of rock suddenly hit my face when something landed on the ground in front of me
That is one of the statues that are surrounding the ritual stone.
As I look at the original position of it inside that it was slice into 2 piece as the floor was smashed into bits.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
I then look at the creature that is not that far in front of me and saw how his long tail move like it have his own life.
Tail… mermans do have tail as said but… they can’t live on the grounds since they can only move freely under water
Nevertheless I can say that…
He is very strong no he is super strong
That stone can never be shattered in the pieces because of how invulnerable it is regarding the weapon and power you given to it but then with just his tail he managed to cut a small piece on it and the impact of his force make it fell on the ground creating a loud tub that makes the pavement and the rocks fly in the air.
Just what kind of monster that creature is…
Is he perhaps stronger than my father? I wonder
Still, If he is here in the first place…
It soon acted as if he was about to attack me at talk to you but then I immediately counter all of his attack as I defended myself with the utmost power
His speed is no joke. No, should I say that it is the speed of his long tail that is no joke?
“And what kind of thing are you?”
I look around and saw how many wolves, old and child are running inside their houses to avoid this creature that are present in front of me
“I am a wolf”
I mumbled in response and make sure to use my glare to lessen his movements but then to my surprise it doesn’t make any difference as if he wasn’t bothered by my glare
“A wolf you say but then why are you different from those others who are running”
He look at me in a calculating manner
“And your vibes are giving me something different than what I have never seen with others”
He then smirk
“Are you perhaps the leader of this wolves you were talking about”
How rude of him to think that I am the leader of this pack. If my father heard that he will surely get mad about it.
I didn’t answer because I didn’t know what I should say and also I am not quite sure whether my answer will give a help in what he is finding here in our wolvendom.
Even so there will be nothing to lose if I just keep quiet and try to lessen all of his movements so that there will be no casualties in our pack
“Tell me are you really the leader of this back?”
He narrows his eyes as if he is analyzing all of my actions as well as my small movements
What should I do? what should I do? I can’t tell what is the best thing I should do? If only my father is here he can easily defeat this thing and make our village safe like it always is
Being caught with my attention I didn’t notice that he still is going to charge another attack on my direction
But no, I don’t have time to avoid his attack
I just made a defense on my body and was ready to be hit by the attack of his tail
