Runaway Alpha

” Emric… emric… what a nice name to have. Now that I have you here, I will no longer have to be locked in this body. Hah… that damn goddess, I never knew she would dare defy the rules just to bring you two back in life! How admirable for a sweet sister you have ”

Still talking to himself, Emric find his body covered with a curse. Just like what he had when he fought with a naga. But this time, it was much stronger as not just his leg was covered with that but his whole body.

Not having the ability to talk, all the memories when he was in his first life appeared right before his eyes.

Living as an achelois, the younger brother of the goddess of the moon, indeed… someone was the reason of his fall. Of his death, on his misery as well as Aylin.

” This power… this sensation, how much time did I lose because of that damn Levana? She didn’t even have the courage to do that to me when I killed that beloved wolven of hers. Wait, what was her name again? is that asena? The mother of wolves? ”

Emric feels as if he would lose his life. As if he would lose his control over his body. He can’t help but feel like all his limbs was torn apart.

Who exactly is that guy? To be able to do that to him, to be able to do that to the goddess of the moon?

Meavis, the fallen god of fallen love. The one and only god that love to see the end of other gods. He who have most power gets corrupted. Enough for him to be despised by all gods that they even team up to kill him.

But due to the power he hold, no one was able to do so as life would be the consequence of doing so.

A life of a god to kill another god’s life…

No one was brave enough to face such consequences. Even the goddess of the moon.

” Now, I will finally have all of what is yours! Your life even in this lifetime, your lover, your power! everything!! And… what face will levana do if she would face the reincarnation of her beloved younger brother? Only to find her death in the hands of that very person? ”

When someone was filled with hatred, the only thing that can fall to them was disaster. As hatred will fill one’s heart and mind corruption. Hatred will make someone fall in the hands of darkness. Filling their thoughts only words of revenge. Words of destruction to the very person or being that they hated.

But when the darkness are all arising, there is just one thing that can fight with that power. light. For no shadow will appear in the presence of a great light. And in the dark night, what will shine bright was the light of the moon and stars.

In the world covered wit such darkness, that was the only time that those luminous power will shine its brightest.

‘ Achelois? Can you hear me? ‘

‘ Sister? ‘

‘ Achelois… open the door. I forgive you in what you did. Do not make me worry much more ‘

‘ Sister… I am failure. Because of me… Aylin is in danger. Please… just let me be. Tell them to just go. I am a cursed god. I will bring nothing but disaster ‘

‘ Achelois, that is not true. i… I am the one to be blamed. If not for me… you wont be cursed. You won’t be in that situation. do not ever blame yourself. Resent me! I am the one to be blamed! Achelois… please… I beg of you. Do not give up your life…. ‘

In the world of the immortals. There are two reason why they would vanish to their existence. One is if the other god would kill them, but that would be in exchange of a life of a god. And the second one is, if the very god would kill themselves. Submitting all their power to someone else. And at that point, they will vanish like they never existed in the first place.

‘ Achelois, I will bring you back even if you go. You hear me? I won’t let you just die in vain! I will not live if even you will be gone… achelois… please, I beg of you ‘

‘ Sister, forgive me but I have my resolve. Please take care of aylin for me. Please… I also beg of you ‘

And that is how the minor moon, achelois…. Life ended.

” No! how can this be! How… this.. this is impossible! ”

No matter how much he tried to take over the body of emric, he will just pass through his body as if his existence was not welcomed.

After being locked in the isolated world, it took Meavis much time to be able to get back his power. with the help of the naga, his power collection went faster in folds but it isn’t enough for him to get back the power he once had. It would even be impossible for him to call himself a god at this point.

But the power that he felt as he sense the dome created by the power of the goddess of the moon, he knew right then that the power that she holds right now is no joke.

After all, more believers of the wolvendom believes in her. That being said, they helped her get back her power. but judging by how Emric was alive, the reincarnation of Achelois, Maevis can tell that his reincarnation have something to do with the goddess of the moon.

She used her power… didn’t she? But… with her state, she would be out of power if that so happens…. Then… who is the one protecting this body?

And luminous light started to appear. Emric seems like a sleeping prince. As if he doesn’t feel any fatigue at all. a s if his limbs are not in misery. As if, all the things that Maevis thrown to his soul isn’t enough to give him harm.

” Why so sudden… who dare disturb my plan! ”

Before he could even find it our, he heard a small voice that seems to be talking to Emric.

” Who ?!! ”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

‘ Hey, emric! Can you hear me? I bet you can, how pitiful of you to not be able to talk back to me. But you know, when you brought me to see a carnival and amusement park, I had much fun. All the food you treat me are delicious! Now I no longer have anything to look forward to. Maybe seeing your child? I wonder if who will it take after? You or lhana? I hope it is lhana. You have ugly face. I would be sad if your child doesn’t look after lhana’

Recognizing that voice, there is just one creature that would be the owner of that very tone, if it wasn’t nissa, the elf that they saw before, then there is no one else to be.

‘ I am really happy that I met you two… I wish you all the best. Emric, tell lhana the same. Lets meet again! some day! ‘

And as the luminous light surrounds emric’s body, he can feel that the curse was lifted.

‘ I have my role… and I am happy I was able to do that. my creator… nissa is a good elf… am I not? ‘

And a small giggle escaped her voice before her existence vanish and take over the curse.

All problems have solutions, all sickness have cure, and all curse have spell for it to be lifted. But in this world, nothing is free. All of it have payments to be settled. But not all payments comes with money, for some… life is the only payment they accept.

Opening his eyes, Emric feel as if finally the holes are patched up. As if he finally see the reasons of all of this.

Who would have thought that the goddess of the moon would be someone that he once called as a sister? No one would even dare ask that.

” Maevis… you told me a god can be killed if another god would perish… right? ”

Hatred, that is one of the thing that all should avoid having. For it can corrupt your mind and heart. but did anyone not told you how all things can be powerful and harmful in a wrong person? just like that… hatred may be dangerous, but if given to the right one, it can be the urge to make some impossible things be possible.

” But with you right now… can you even consider your self as one ? ”

Is it arrogance? Or is it just a warning for something that may surely be done?

” To that person that brings me nothing but misery… to the one that I am afraid I cant even call as a person… you are nothing but a monster that is needed to be gone. Forever… ”

” If you kill me you will me cursed! ”

A smirk then escaped his lips.

” oh really? But am I not cursed so long ago? Another curse isn’t even a threat to me ”

And as if the minor moon descend on the land, Emric’s power seems to be unleashed the moment the cursed was lift up to him.

” It is time for you to vanish. As payment for what you did… to me… to my sister… and to my dearest Lhana… “
