BAELAI had succeeded going up to midday without being seen by Alpha Abbadon as I was led by Aria. All was going according to plan and I was glad. I had been walking along which was what I preferred but it was starting to get hot.The sun was overhead, still trying to evaporate as much water from the surface of the ground as it could after the heavy rains 2 days ago. I was beginning to break a sweat and I knew it was because of how warm everywhere felt.Luckily for me though, I still had enough shade from under the trees to keep me from facing the scorching rays of the sun directly but no matter where I hid, I could not escape the heat."I wished we had not been in a hurry to leave this morning, I would have loved to go for a little swim at the stream". I said to Aria, who was flying just ahead of me. She made herself visible to me this time around, since we were no longer running. Now I didn't have to rely on her voice for guidance but her presence."I am sorry Baela, I wished we had
BAELA"...THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE ALRIGHT!" I heard a distinctive male voice say just below me. For the first few seconds I thought I was already asleep and was dreaming but I quickly realized I was not in a dream. I was wide awake.I watched as Aria quickly disappeared from my view, although He could not see her. How was he able to sneak up on me undetected, even catching Aria by surprise and causing her to flee?"ALPHA ABBADON!" I called out, partially scared as I looked down below the tree I was on. It was truly him below, although it was slightly dark below. I couldn't see his face clearly but I could make out his distinct baritone voice easily. He was all by himself, he had come alone, forsaken his entire Beta's with him."YOU ARE ALIVE!...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!...I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" He revealed from down below. His voice filled with shock and surprise."Yes I am ALIVE Alpha Abbadon". I replied, suddenly feeling bad for fooling him the way I did but he was suppose to accept I
BAELAI watched as he looked at me with renewed awe. He was very impressed by what I had said, about him not knowing all about me and about me being special."So you will do absolutely nothing to punish me but would you set me free to continue on my journey alone?" I inquired, refusing to mention where I was headed to."I am sorry Baela but I cannot. Now I have found you, you have to travel with me". Alpha Abbadon insisted."What if I no longer want to?" I asked, stubborn. I don't know if I was trying to provoke him or get him to let go of me. "And where would you go if I set you free on your own?" He asked, surprisingly calm at me."I don't know yet, I will decide in the morning ". I said, acting undecided. He didn't need to know I had decided to go back home, I wanted him to believe I had decided to become a wanderer like he was."Good, then I will wait here with you until tomorrow morning when you make that decision". He revealed to my delight. It meant tonight he was not going to
BAELAThat was strange coming from Aria. Now that sounded like a prophecy. When did Aria dive into prophecy? I scratched my head literally as I wondered about what she had just said and why she left so suddenly after saying it."So have you decided now, are you coming with me to meet the others?" Alpha Abbadon asked again, probably seeing how I was scratching my head.Now I am forced to make a decision, go with my instinct again and continue on my journey home with Aria, or take Aria's advice and go with Alpha Abbadon to meet with the others. Come to think of it, Aria had only made me look good in front of Alpha Abbadon, teaching me the necessary skills I need to survive out here while also watching over me. She had never been wrong so far and I hope she was right about this too."Okay I have decided". I said looking at him as his eyes brightened."Okay tell me, what is it?" He was eager."I will go back with you and rejoin the others". I announced to his delight. His face had now bri
BAELA"NO, WE HAVE TO GO TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD!" I repeated clearly. It seemed like I was talking irrationally to them all. I could see Alpha Abbadon look at me more cautiously than before."BUT I HAVE MADE MY DECISION, WE WOULD NO LONGER BE GOING TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD BUT INSTEAD BE RETURNING BACK HOME, I THOUGHT THE NEWS WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY!" He said."I AM HAPPY ALPHA ABBADON. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD BUT YOU CAME LOOKING FOR ME. NOW YOU HAVE FOUND ME, MY ONLY DESIRE IS FOR US TO COMPLETE OUR JOURNEY TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD". I insisted."AND OF WHAT BENEFIT WOULD THAT BE TO YOU? WHY SHOULD I RISK MY LIFE AND YOURS AND THOSE OF MY BETA'S TO CROSS THE GREAT MÉSIS SEA?" He inquired. He wanted to know my reason, perhaps there was more he had not yet revealed about his desire to return back home all of a sudden."BECAUSE I PROMISED TO FIND YOU A WORTHY BRIDE TO HE YOUR LUNA AND YOU PROMISED YOUR ENTIRE PACK YOU WERE GOING TO RETURN WITH H
BAELAI watched as Alpha Abbadon walked up to me after saying those words. I stayed rooted on the spot as the others headed to their rafts to push it out of the beach onto the sea. "It's time Baela, say goodbye to home and take my hand". He said, offering his right hand. I took hold of his right hand slowly as his words sunk in. I was really saying bye to home and to the continent I grew up in. Whatever lay ahead of us was a mystery we were going to discover.I got on the raft as he led me to it but he didn't jump onto it. The other Beta's were in two's as they waited for Alpha Abbadon to make the first move. Alpha Abbadon was holding on to the raft I was on still on the beach as he started to push it towards the sea. Now it was happening for real and I looked at the sea ahead of me before turning back to look at my home.I hope I get to see you again. I was looking at the beach and the woods of Gaiasania, hoping to be reunited with them once again. I couldn't reminisce for long t
BAELAI could still see the fishes flying out of the waters surrounding us as I dared to look at the water below. I leaned a little to the edge of the raft while I was on my knees and I could see a sort of shadow below, it seemed to be moving."I have never been out at sea before but is that supposed to be normal?" I asked Alpha Abbadon, as I stared at the sea below.I know Alpha Abbadon must have looked below to see what it was underneath us as fear gripped me to my bones. I couldn't move, I was paralyzed with fear."NO, THAT IS NOT NORMAL! SOMETHING HUGE IS UNDERNEATH AND IT IS MOVING!" Alpha Abbadon said, as I let go of the fishes I had caught in my hand. I quickly retreated from the edge of the raft to the middle that was safe.I looked around me and it seemed only Alpha Abbadon and I had noticed it, the others were still excited by the easy catch of the fishes."WEREWOLVES, WE ARE NOT ALONE!" Alpha Abbadon exclaimed to draw their attention to him. "SOMETHING HUGE IS UNDERNEATH
BAELA I was looking behind me eager to see what the Giant Octopus would do. The large numbers of school of fishes that were jumping out of the water were all but gone now. Gone in two large vortexes it had created from underneath the surface of the water. I could see the sea stop swirling in the direction of the vortex and soon the tentacles of the Giant Octopus started to submerge inside the water. "LOOK, IT IS GOING AWAY!" I declared with joy. Glad to see that scary being slowly disappear from sight. Alpha Abbadon and the others also turned back to catch a last glimpse of it, as it was almost submerged in the sea. "IT IS GOING UNDERNEATH, LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T RESURFACE SOMEWHERE ELSE". Alpha Abbadon said, still looking behind him. The giant Octopus had consumed a large quantity of fishes, I was positive it was now satisfied and we were safely away from its path and danger. Soon all the giant Octopus was submerged, only the large ripples and air burbles left from it could be se
