After the arrival of the two small children who had been visiting her regularly, Randu became pensive. That meant she had to leave this place before nightfall. She had to remind Burdak...to get out of here quickly, but...where?
Randu is still contemplating, and her husband came with a deer that he is carrying.
“Help me…” shouted Burdak from below. Randu came down like a half-conscious person, her mind still racing about what the two sisters had said. She had gone down and did what Burdak had told her to do. She prepared a fireplace, and when Burdak gathered wood, she cleaned the Deer with her dagger. Randu has started to be smart..not like before...she has to keep on wincing and holding back vomiting because she skins animals in the forest.
"You've been pensive since earlier, are you sick?" Burdak asked his wife who had been skinning his prey deer dreamily. Her gaze is vacant, and she is like a woman moving on her own…
"Huh? No..
Rhodia is confused, she had come to the place where she had seen Burdak, in a cave near a beautiful flower bed… but nothing! she turned around, looking for the whereabouts of Burdak.. and the result is nil..nothing! It is as if they had been swallowed by the earth! Even the smell had disappeared… she had been around for two days… and there is no Burdak smell at all.Actually Rhodia is desperate, she hoped that Randu had been eaten by a wild animal…and Burdak is going somewhere…maybe for a pack mission? Yes..she prayed and hoped that many things would happen.'You know it's not true.. I can still feel Burdak's presence.. although I don't know where he is right now.. last time I smelled that woman in the pool near the waterfall… then suddenly everything disappeared..no smell anything around it." Sofia said.'Or maybe… Randu committed suicide in that pool…?' Rhodia is getting more and more delusional when some
Randu tried to walk, what she saw she really can't forget. This is halfway… what she saw just now is truly terrifying. Luckily the figure disappeared as she almost screamed in shock.She saw a creature with a human-like form… tall and thin… wearing a robe… but what surprised her and almost fainted was… from that body, a burning fire came out… yes, all of his skin is covered in fire… Randu could faintly see that his skin was burning…and leaving only flesh and muscle. Even on the legs… Randu saw that there was a white color that was also covered with fire? Was that the bone? Even just remembering it had succeeded in making her shudder. What creature is that?!She is still holding her breath as she ran slowly. She hasn't arrived yet… there's still a bit more to get to the point where Burdak is waiting, she already knows this place, because Burdak had asked her to practice running before. Just around the
Burdak counted from one to twenty, he knew this would work… yes he had thought this through… he had already felt Boro's presence in his head… the wolf would always appear if there is any business regarding Randu. That's his weakness… too drunk on a word of love. Pft..He will do three things at once, train Randu's stamina…just like the goal he told his wife earlier, the other goal is to get a bonus…a punishment that will cheer him up later, and most importantly…make Boro stay in his body length.After he shouted half the counting, he could still hear Randu's running footsteps… his wife started to run fast… after a count of fifteen… the sound of her running is no longer audible… and twenty, Burdak ran towards the source of his wife's smell… his wife ran straight… towards where they took to water.. then to land that is downhill, yes.. the scent is still very strong here... then he
Burdak ran with his wolf, he searched several places, and always the result is zero. He ran to where the row of uninhabited houses is…the only area he had not combed.'Careful… don't touch anything. The people of this village are quite vicious.' whispered Boro. He could feel that there are many spirits in this village, though he doesn't know what is going on. Was this village hit by a major disaster? Until all the citizens die? Yes.. Boro can feel that there are many residents of the houses in this village who are spirits…and there are more bad spirits than good ones.Burdak walked slowly. From the front...these rows of houses do look neat and not dirty...but if Burdak looks behind the houses, there is a lot of garbage and dry leaves there. There are even some strange graves. Is it possible that Orok has a nest here?Burdak carefully walked into one house that had a path beside it. He tried his best not to touch anything there. With his wolf
Randu wanted to speak...she wanted to tell whatever creature it is that she is already married...so he couldn't possibly admit herself as hos bride.While she realized that she is in a box…with a soft white cloth, there are some flowers scattered on her dirty body. She also felt that her body had a lot of streaks… maybe this creature dragged her along? But she felt like she is floating.Randu opened her mouth, trying to speak… or shook her head. But all her nerves seemed to be locked…she could only open her mouth…and no sound came out.She could see with her open eyes that the figure shrouded in flames is grinning. He is arranging something outside the box where Randu is lying. She could hear some things clinking, maybe it is made of iron? Or bronze? Does he carry a sharp weapon? Randu could only guess… she still couldn't speak and move… the clanging sound lasted for a long time… and she also heard a deep m
Burdak carried her upstairs, they are in the backyard of an empty house. Randu knows very well that this village is actually inhabited…a collection of the spirits of its inhabitants. She looked up… the sun is getting redder… a sign of night will come.“We have to get out quickly…” Now it is Burdak who spoke. It seemed her husband had also realized that they had to quickly get out of this place.Randu nodded. She is currently being carried by Burdak…for some reason Burdak has not put her down, he continues to carry Randu's bridal style. He walked towards the gate they first entered. Burdak had a tense face, no sound came out of his mouth… he seemed to be focused on getting them out of here before the sun went down.The walk is not as fast as usual… maybe it would be faster if Randu walked alone. Burdak is limping when he walks."Let me walk alone, put me down .." Randu said in a whisper in her hu
"Stop right here, or we'll kill you." Threatening a firm voice. The figure of a man with full weapons and blocking Rhodia's path. She is tired…to be honest…she is too tired, she has time to think…if indeed she and Burdak aren't a match at all. Because she had been walking for days through all the forests here... there is absolutely no trace of Burdak or Randu. By now, Rhodia is too tired and she fell asleep leaning against a tree. She fell asleep for a while and this time woke up with a spear held in her face.A man with a grim and large face looked at her with disapproval."I'm tired… and just want to rest.. can't I?" she asked defiantly… even though from her tired voice…and that pathetic appearance… she doesn't look intimidating at all to the person she is talking to.The spear pointed in front of her dropped, the man turned out to be with another man whose face is calmer. A man with a handsome face and too clea
Rhodia is escorted by Nero…the whole way she walked behind the man…and along the way, Rhodia could see with her own eyes that when someone passed by they would pay their respects to Nero. The man is respected... By now she can conclude that, Nero is treated better than the Burdak in his pack.Nero stopped and Rhodia did the same. He turned around, looking Rhodia up and down. “Looks like you haven't showered in days… you can rest and shower here.. this is my cabin.. not where I live everyday…but you can borrow it… after that I will send someone to bring food here… tomorrow morning I'll be back…I'll take you to Asulpen.” Nero said then opened his cabin. Aspherical building rising above…made of some dry branches and wood. Indeed, in various packs...their houses will be different from one another. Apart from the weather, resources and traditional values influence everything,She entered the building..and
