Runaway Alpha

Chapter 48



I made my way downstairs and luckily my siblings are not there as if they are playing somewhere who knows where it is. Suddenly giggling, I thought that they grew up so fast. Well, its been years so thee is no suprise in that.

I sense that my mother is also not here as well as my father. But… is there a reason why this house is empty? And though I am the only one that is left in this house, I can say that I have a great feeling that no one will dare trespass by our home since who would want to face the strongest wolf in this world? I doubt there is… but if there is… surely only dumb or fool people will go doing such things

Talking to myself, I feel like an idiot as I walk downstairs. Stopping for a small while, I saw my whole figure as my whole body is reflected on the big mirror that is place on one corner of our house. It is beside the door that is in front of this stairs. I can’t help but slightly smile about how I feel like I have grown so much compared to before.

There is a lines on the wall out there, the one that my mother put to measure our height and as i can say, the last time we did so, I am not this tall.

Waling to that direction I somehow feel nostalgic. Putting my hand on the wall to touch the ink that is placed on it, I can’t hhelp but have a smal faint smile.

“A head taller than before… I guess?”

Indeed a grew taller that I almost on par with the height of my father.

Even the physics that I have is not befitting for a child even though I am just in the peak of my childhood. Only a year and I will it will now become an adult. When a wolven becomes an adult, he will automatically undergone in a growth phase. It happens every ten years or a decade. That is the time where a sudden growth can be seen. Just like a bean sprout changing in an instant.

Even that fact is something that is magical for us. None can explain how and why it happens but the discovry find out that everyone in this village undergone in that phase exactly on the date of his birth for every decade.

Now that I realized it, only a year and I will turn 20. And it takes only two years before I turn at the age of 22.

Somehow, I feel like my calm and peaceful years is yet to be doomed.

Not that like before and whenever you’re making appearance everyone will have a say about me but now things aren’t going the same way it is before. The talk for this moment are the celebration that will be held at the house of Lhana. It was right at this very day… her brother Aillard is no longer a child for he is now an adult.

Now that think about it, i doubt whether it is right to think that he changed since he is now an adult. But… even so, I doubt it is the case since…

A guy like him would surely be as childish as always.

“I wonder if her brother will be mad at me for saying that his beloved little sister is meeting me on the very day of his adult turning ceremony”

I slightly mumbled myself as I silently laugh n my thoughts. Why can I see his pitiful face as I think of him fumming in jealousy? Hah, this is weird. Maybe my thinking at this day have also been affected by those dreams I have randomly.

I then went to the direction of where I have long waited to go insame direction. Even if I just went here for a couple of times, the memory of that place is still intact in my mind the see if it just all happened yesterday.

The hole of the wall that is hiding behind the old round rock seems to become smaller than what it is before.

Maybe I just grown up grown up bigger than what I expected.

Slightly chuckled after realizing that there is no way I can fit in that small hole.

Am I that little when we went in here? I was… able to fit in that?

Just how many years has it been since I last went out of this village. I wonder if that elf still looks the same like how it looks before. I have read in the books that I saw on the exclusive chamber, the elves grow slower than the other creatures. Indeed, I am not surprised that the exclusive chamber also contains things about elves. It’s about elves who is not the same creature as we are. The author of that book is also unknown that is why I am not sure if that thing is credible and reliable but.. as I can say… There would be no issue if I did believe so.

Even so, seeing it with my own eyes will state whether what I have read is true.

It is so sad that among those books I have read so far there is no clue about what is happening on my right leg. It is not visible since what I am wearing it is long and is doing it’s job hiding my leg skin.

Looking up above, I calculated whether I can jump into it in just a split seconds so that no one cannot see what I was about to do

I slightly concentrate in the jump to the other side of the wall and thanks to my fully developed and honed skills, I successfully landed on the other side of the wall with no sweat.

It is so uncertain why no one ever realized that there is a hole in this place maybe I should close it so that no one can enter and went out.

Well, I also do think that II shoould have done this much earlier.

With that thoughts running on my mind I use my agility to throw the pieces of dirt to the hole of the wall.

And in no time the hole was fully covered with dirt that I have thrown.

I clap my hands to remove all the dirt stuff house it’s dead have stick on my palm and look at the very same direction on where I remember that the path towards the place of the small little elf is located. Walking my way as I analyzed those surrounding it is so safe surrounding it is as if nothing really changed compared to the fact that all the trees and leaps around it are now surrounded by much more bigger trees than what it looks like before. Even so, all the trunk of the tree seems to not change or maybe it is just my perspective about things who did change.

I look at the very same spot and where I remember the bridge before was located and to my surprise somehow feel like I can look down at it. Before, I haven’t look what is under that cliff since it is dangerous and far. But then right at this moment I feel like that thing is such a simple matter for me to do.

I look through it and noticed that the cliff is truly really deep. As if it would take day you come up here again if someone’s fall on that place.

Even if this cliff is deep I can say that I can see the water flowing down on it. I try to follow the trail on where those water came from and noticed that it is from the part I never once visited before

Come to think of it, if only not for Aillard finding Lhana and me, we would have seen the scenery of the falls that the elf is talking about

Even so, I will just say that things happen for a reason and maybe that time isn’t the best time for me to see it

I laughed at my thoughts for thinking something like that. Well, before.. I will surely blameanyone whose been part of that misfortune but…

Maybe this is the effect for finding the solitude a happiness.

And so I went went back to the track on where I must go. Going to the same place of the ritual stone I have kicked shattered when I was a little. As I finally feel nostalgic for seeing such sight, my head frown as I feel like I can sense no other presence in this place.

Did I perphaps came so early?

But the letter never say any time that I must come so I concluded I must go right the very moment. Did I somehow mistaken it?

I then feel oppressed coming to my direction and as I look back I feel like it isn’t the same presence that I can feel whenever Aillard is around.

It is somehow similar to the present I have felt when…Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

And I confirmed the fact that what I thought is correct. This is the very I’m feeling I hope felt when I met the man who is selling beverages. The very same old man who vanishes in the air…
