Runaway Alpha

Looking at my hands I can say that there is a small light that is forming from it. Slowly putting it in my sight I can say that my palm is forming a radiant light coming from the mana circle that I have created.

Looking at it, I can’t see the sight of any person or human that is inside my palm. But judging by the reaction given by the one I am talking to just a while ago, it seems like using this strange thing that is on my palm, he can see a view of whatever my palm is facing into.

“Woah. So that is how you look like. Indeed, base on my calculation… you came from that land… hah… how astonishing to know”

Right now I can say that maybe if anyone saw me talking to me palm they would really think that I have hitted my head so hard making me run crazy for talking to me self like this. Even so, knowing that thing… what else can I do if there is really a person that is talking to me and all I can do is respond to whatever that person is saying?

Hah…

Luckily I am not in some kind of place that is visible to others. I am still in this exclusive chamber on where only chosen people can enter. The one thing that is also nice in this place is that, not all the elders stay in here for they probably finished all that is placed in this place.

I clear my throat trying to calm myself since I really thought that there is an image forming in my palm just now but it turns out that it was just a scribble bringing out some kind of light

“What do you mean base on your calculation? And what is that land that you were talking to? I can’t seem to understand why or how come you kno such thing as those”

“There are things that are hard to explain but I can assure you that a day would come and your question will be answered”

I glared my palm thinking that whatever he is seeing in front of him would make him feel bad for not answering my question.

It is not that I am too excited about his response but I can say that my curiosity is running wild that is why I can’t help it ask him about those things. He sounds so knowledgeable about things…

Being secluded in this place I can say that the world is so massive to the point that this land I have been living since I was born is nothing but a mere portion of the world hiding a tons of mysteries

“Even so, let me ask you a question… are you a wolf?”

He asked which makes me close my eyes out of anger. He didn’t answer my question yet he had the urge to ask me like that? Isn’t he being so annoying at some point? Even so, why did he asked that? and how in the world did he know that I am a wolf?

“Alright, alright, I know that I don’t have any power nor rights to ask you those question but I can assure you that I can help you in other things. My knowledge isn’t something that you can’t gasp even if you use all of your life learning new things because my mind can see beyond reality and I can say that it is my forte to begin with”

“And how can you say that I would believe in everything you said? I can’t see you in the first place and it is just me looking crazy talking to my hand… Hah, how weird of me to look like this…”

I heard him chuckling from the other side which makes me a little annoyed at some point. I did think that he is different from others since I was somehow happy talking to him for he isn’t like any other person that I have talked to before. He sounds so blunt to the point that he won’t say any lies to me

But then I can’t just let my guard down since telling things that you know is same as bargaining knowledge to others. You can’t always give and give without receiving any. That is the law of life if you give you shall receive in return. And if you receive you shall also grant something to those who give something to you

“How about in return… I will give you a token that you can use someday?”

“And what kind of token is it?”

“It is a token so that you can be granted a permission to enter in my tower.”

“Your tower? But it’s not like I knew what your tower looks like and I’m not even sure if I can see it in my whole life”

You shall not say something as those because all the future holds something that we can never be sure of knowing about. Even the story that is written on the papers of the goddess can be change in just a snap of a finger. Your future was hold by only you and you alone. So if you say something like that, I guess you are just going with the flow of life and that is something that is not right. This is your life, this is your rule. The only one who can change ut is you. Also… If you say such thing… I guess you are not that curious looking for me or even knowing where I was”

“What you had said is true and I can’t deny the things that you have said but

.. alright, if that would be useful I guess it is not a bad choice saying whether I am a wolf or not”

“That’s the response that I am wishing to hear”

“Yes I am a wolf”

I can hear him being silent for some time since I didn’t hear his voice telling anything

What is going on in his mind after knowing that I am a wolf is something that I am not sure of but the thing that I can say is that, I am not worried about him knowing such information.

“I see I see”

That is his short response from my reply.

“And where is the payment that you would grant me?”

I ask without hesitations. Since I can’t see him it isn’t good for me to actually believe that what he said will truly be granted. Even so, I held my high hopes thinking that he would do what he promised. I will believe in his words. For now,

“What was your name again young wolf?”

fIf I said my name would you said yours?”

“Yes I will”

” I am Emric”

“My name is Cavian, you can call me that way”

“I said that I a am wolf, and what kind of being are you?”

“You guess”

“I am afraid that I am no sorcerer”

“haah, I see that thing coming”

“And so, what are your answer then?”

I heard him chuckle,Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I shall tell it when we met again”

And with his last word, the light that is forming from my hand suddenly dissapeared.
