Runaway Alpha

” What? do you now feel it? what a fool of you to follow me here isn’t it wonderful? Little Emric? ”

Echoing on his head, its been some days since he was transferred in this unknown place. It is like an underground that was made buy digging holes. Like a cave whose inside was unknown. Like maze whose exit was so hard to find.

Slashing yet another small snakes that almost bit him,, Emric is almost out of his breathe. But the moment he remember the very words that naga said, he can not help but be filled with rage.

‘ Try to let me be and I will make sure to once again kill that beloved of yours. Isn’t it right? Aylin? Does that name sounds familiar? I wonder… how should I kill her this time? Maybe I should just do what I did before… after all, isn’t it grandiose as even your sister can do nothing at all? ‘

Hunger, thirst, none of that matters to him. as the only thing left on his mind was rage…

Another pile of snakes was cut in halves, his face covered with their blood, it do smells bad. But his mind was occupied with something else.

” You are not that naga… are you ? ”

A small silent then occurred before the voice speaks up. Emric has been thinking about if for so long. The fact that he have been observing the very words that naga was saying, he can’t help but conclude something.

And as he keeps on getting that thought, it is as if the naga’s very words is just making piles of evidence with his claim.

” It seems like you have forgotten about me. Shall I let you see my face once again? ”

A snake the fall down from the wall. But it was not enough to make him startle.

Swish

It was cut into pieces as it blood spur out.

” You know Aylin… and you know Lhana… it makes me wonder who exactly are you ”

” Tch ”

A smirk then escaped his lips. the sound of that person is much louder than before. Which means that he is just near. He find his way to where that person was.

But the two path in front of him make him wonder where shall he go.

Closing his eyes, Emric trice to sense his surrounding to the highest capacity he can, and that is wen the Naga tried to ruin his concentration.

” Shall I tell you how I know that? ”

‘His voice is shaking a bit. Why would he even lure me into this if he would be afraid to get caught? I don’t get it’

“Do you know I can see every movements you do? ”

Again with his random words. But even with the small snakes trying to sneak to his feet was squished in a flash the moment it tried to bit him.

” Do you really believe what you sent me is enough to make me your prey? ”

And soon as he opened his eyes, he knew exactly where he would go.

To the left? Or perhaps to the right?

The answer is none. Because that very person is somewhere beneath him.

Bang woosh bam

A loud sound can be heard soon as the ground started to collapse. But instead of getting surprised, this is exactly what emric aims for. With his mark suddenly glowing, he wonders what would be the reason why it glows.

But putting aside that fact, the glowing light did not fade. As if it was having its light up as he met the surface of where he landed.

Glowing with the same color

Laughter. That is what he heard soon as the mark on his leg started to go brighter.

Swish

An arrow started to fly towards him. he managed to avoid it but for odd reason, the cuts started to appear.

” Wonderful, it didn’t took you much time to be here ”

That voice once again started to speak. But this time, it is louder, so loud that it looks like he was just in front of him.

” What are you- ”

And as his blood falls on the ground, some marks on the wall started to appear.

” I really like scrolling in someone’s memories. You know… you learn lots of this from them ”

Headache started to mess on his mind as he can’t help but feel as if something was being taken from him. As if something was going out of his head.

” Ah,,, this is great. This is really great! Who would think that after so long I will finally get my revenge?! You are an idiot just like before… emric. Or should I say… Achelois? ”

And as he mumble that name, emric’s eyes widened.

” How can you- ”

But even after trying so much to restrain himself from the pain on the mark of his legs, his fatigue, hunger, thirst, and all started to crawl up his system.

” Ha, this is marvelous. I shall let that damn moon goddess taste what pain is like ”

Eyes closing, emric can see how scenes started to flash in front of his eyes. Memories of both his life here and memories similar to the propechy that he saw. The visions he had.

The memories that he remembered as he was still Achelois.

…

” Huff!! ”

Opening his eyes what welcomes him was a sight of a place familiar in his eyes. The very place he can call home. But this isn’t a place you can see in Erhendem. It was different.

” Achelois… ”

A voice called him and it was a prerry lady whose half of face was covered with veil. But the very eyes, he can clearly guess who it was

‘ Lhana! ‘ he tried to call her but what escaped her lips was the name ‘ Aylin ‘

” Aylin ”

And soon as he tried to take a step forward, he can see how Aylin’s state started to look bad. As if she was in great pain. Almost falling on her knees.

” Ay… lin ‘

He again mumbled as he took a step away.

” So it is true… that damn… Maevis ‘

With his head started to feel as if he was spinning, he can see how his eyes started to get blurry. Joined with the memories rushing on his mind.

Achelois. The minor moon. The youngest and the younger brother of Levana.

His fate is not as sweet as the ripe fruit you can find in the realm. As his fate was written with curse on his life.

Due to the rivalry and war between goddess, it was normal of a god with low power and ability to gain the curse that was cast to them. As the god related to the goddess of the moon, Achelois hold not much power compared to his dear sister.

And so he ended up not being able to stop the curse.

” The one that I love… the one that I hold dear… why must it come to this? ”

Hatred, may it be mortal or not, only hatred can corrupt ones mind and soul. Resulting for something one can not even dare imagine.

” Forgive me… Aylin. Forgive me if I have to do this… ”

And as he hold his hand up in the air, the power he had left with him started to appear in fog of glittered golden dust.

” Forget me… and live without worries ”

Love is something that will make you strong. But love is also something that will make you be weak.

Curse land upon him, he is aware that if he use any of his power the severity of the curse would be triggered. But it was nothing compared to how he sees his beloved to be in such pain.

” Aylin… my love is still you… no one else… just you ”

The cruel fate of the minor god then ended in a bitter love story. And that is how the Minor moon achelios live his life far from Aylin. His dearest, the goddess that captivated his heart.
