Runaway Alpha

I look at them blankly as I can’t remember that I did those things…

“Well yes… you sure stand up and you even mumble some weird stuff as you chase them. I shouted and tell you to stop but you won’t listen and just continue your glaring. Who would have thought you were saving someone’s life but I never thought you would come here to do both killing and saving”

“What are you talking about?”

I then heard a voice coming from the direction of the one I hated I glared at him

“Oh my gosh… see? You’re even glaring at him like what you did a while ago… you idiot”

“But I don’t remember quite well what happened can you explain it to me? So that this understand”

I said sarcastically as she just smiled with somehow annoyed look.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

It is not that I am letting her make fun of me but I just don’t have enough strength to quarrel with her. I somehow find iit bothersome.

Emrick POV

I’m somehow sure that I noticed something strange. Still I can’t feel like I should speak about it but something is urging me that I need to tell it to them because if I don’t tell them… things will get bigger and it will not be easy enough““““ for us to handle it on our own.

“It seems like… you are living in the fantasy on your mind and you are moving the way you are with your own body but then you are hearing and seeing different things than what it is inn reality. I do think that I somehow understand what is happening about you”

“What do you mean by that? I am acting like a mad man because I am hallucinated by some sort of thing? That is the reason why I am seeing differently than what is really happening around me?”

He replied. Somehow, his glare loosen up and the atmosphere started to feel normal.

“Certainly. About what you said, I do think that, that is the best description one can saw”

They didn’t speak much and so I feel like I should continue my words to break thissilence.

“I am not that sure about what I am about to say but I’ve read this in some book I saw in the library. Although the credibility of that book is something I can’t guarantee”

I sat on the ground and pick up the pencil I had with me. Opening the smal book I have, I started to draw on the blank page that is not purewhite in color. They just keep silent and let me continue my drawing.

“Have you heard about the Heminrey plant?”

I mumbled which caught the attention of Lhana who was sitting beside her brother. I can say that she was concerned about him since I learned that Aillard is her only brother and that they have a good relationship.

I then notice the drawing I created. Putting some last scetch I can say that it is definitely similar to the oneI saw back then. I learned about what I said a while ago in that strange old book. When Mira said something about tthe thing that happened to Lhana’s brother, Aillard, It looks like the hallucination he saw was connected to that plant.

“As you can see the Heminrey plant is just a myth”

“Yes it is, but then it won’t be just a myth if it really exists in this life”

I’m not sure why I’m telling this but it feels like I have known this information years ago. That is some weird thing to explain but yes, I might have read not knowing that it would become handy today.

“That plant is very simple to identify but it cannot be seen by our naked eye. The only reason why that image exist is because once every millenium, that plant will shine and sparkle as if they are revealing themselves. Although, some statements said that there are one being who can see those plants even if they just use their natural eyes…”

They are all listening to me attentively.

“What being are that?”

“Dwarfs…”

“But… they are rare to see…”

“Yes… the reason why they are the only one who can see it and not get affected by it is because they live underground and that very same plant seems to be growing under the ground. It’s not like crops or potatoes that can be harvested and have a plant rolling up on it but then it is some sort of plant who will grow under the ground and will remain underground”

“But if that plan that you’re saying is something like that the why would it be smelled by Aillard?”

Mira seems to care so much about Aillard. As what Lhana called her a while ago… I think like there is something between Mira and him.

“As you describe what happened a while ago… Aillard have been sniffing around just to find the scent of Lhana and trace where she is but then he fell the ground and then that would have happened. He smell that plant”

What I’m telling is true. None of us fell on the ground that is why the only conclusion I gotta say is that when Aillard fell in the ground and that thing happened. Still, I can’t leave this conclusion that…

“Still, I am not sure whether the plant really do exist but the symptoms and the theory that I have, concludes that it have a 98% possibility that it happened just as what I said”

“Then how about the 2% remaining in your theory”

“Well, about that”

I do wonder if I should tell them that the remaining 2% is just a theory that things happened to him because he is unnlucky and he is not in his good state that’s why he got mad and get crazy. I can’t possibly say that… can I?

“What is it just tell it” He said while slightly threathening me.

“The remaining 2% of my theory is that he is just a bit unlucky that’s why that thing happened to him”

The girls burst into laughter about what they’ve heard and then the man who is sitting on the ground right at this moment are narrowing his eyes as he glare at me

That’s why hesitate whether I should tell it or not but then you insist… so…

I just shrugged my shoulder saying that it is not my problem if he got annoyed with my theory

“But then if that really exists maybe we should just get back to the place where he fell”

“No. That would be dangerous and if that so happens…”

“Yes I agree with Mira. It is not like it’s not like we’re going back in this place again… aren’t we?”

I just look at Lhana who look back at me. It would be real bad if that things happened to the both of us while we are wandering in this place. We better check it out sometime later to do some further analysis

“Brother, why are you here by the way?”

“Um what do you mean why I am here?”

” I mean you wouldn’t go here if that isn’t something urgent… would you? You are always busy in your station as you command the grounds of your training area but then you are here together with sister Mira so… I thought that you have some urgent matters to attend to. Am I correct?”

“Now that you said it I remember that I really did came here to find you… Alright I wanted to tell you is that someone is dying”

“Wait what would you mean someone is dying”

I do feel quite shock about what he said but he sounds so serious that it makes Lhana and I feel so surprised but at the same time worried about what might happen in the future

We did saw how Mira punch Aillard on his shoulder as he blankly stated those words

“Why would you say something like that? You idiot”
