Runaway Alpha

Slowly, the world seems to be scaring me for some reasons. Is it just me or something is really not right about the things that are happening.

“Shit”

I cursed as I realize how those vines that are attached to the back of the box that I am holding started to grow little by little engulfing my hands who seems to be its target. I gulp in shock.

Not panicking, I started to pull my hands with all of my strength making me fall in the ground as I fight with the strength of those vines that are holding me.

The moon is up and you can see how it’s up above creating a great scenery from the sky that is full of small sparking lights we called the stars. Even the small spec of clouds are adding up a good thing as they make an illusion of those little light that seems to be sparkling in the night sky.

I never once expected this thing that happened but then I can say that it is not that impossible to appear because in this situation that I am having today. the unexpected things are bound happen.

Putting the box on my back that I dig from a while ago, I can say that the vines are slow but it is still approaching where I am. I am not sure if its target is really my hands or the real reason why those vines are doing it is because they wanted me to remove my hold from the box that they are guarding.

Hah, what a mess.

“I just wanted to take it, why are you even mad about it?”

I annoyingly ask those vines as if they can understand what I am telling. I may look like some weird guy talking to himself again but it is not like one would be around here to watch me in the first place. Surely, there won’t be a fool that would be here, right?

But even so, I can understand the fact that they are just doing her job and guarding that of since it is the task that is given to them but still… wouldn’t it be good for both parties if they just let go of this box because with that circumstance they won’t have the time to battle with me and make efforts with thoslittle vines of them. Aren’t they tired? Like… What isin this box in the first place for them to act that way?! Wait, wait a moment…

A small spec of smirk wrapped on my lips as I started to realize one thing. If their main objective is to protect this box, what if I created a box that would look as similar as this but isn’t really the real thing?

I wonder if this vines will realize that the box with them would be something that isn’t the real thing. Even so I feel bothered by the fact that I have no time in creating such thing and I don’t even have any spare box with me that would look like this.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Shitty shit”

Now I regret thinking that way. I shouldn’t have think of that thing since it would be something that is impossible to happen. How idiotic of mine to even think of it in the first place.

But even so… I must collect this box because it contains the part of the carvings that was the piece of what we have to compile. If those pieces of box are compiled it will create a certain logo. If we present it to the elder or if that kind of thing di happened, we can have a wish to be granted by the elders. Well, they did said that they will grant anything.

Even now I can’t still forget what is the reason why we two are doing this. Indeed, I can say that we are childish at some point but… Isn’tit nice to do the things that you like? Isn’t it nice to make choice that you created? Not make some things that are forced to you to do?

I let out a sigh as I remember those things. Remembering the elders somehow make my blood boil. If they didn’t said that damn thing about me and Lhana marrying when I turn in the age of twenty two, this thjng wouldn’t have happened. But even so, if the goddess of the moon didn’t said such thing in the first place, maybe none of this would have ever happen.

Hah, how annoying.

Looking at the box I am holding, I can say that it do have the same kind of structure just like the first box we saw that day. I mean the very first box that Lhana and I found outside the oerimeter of the village.

I wonder if it contains something that is related to the map that I saw.

Well remembering that things I am very thankful by the fact that it is I who saw that map for only I can make that map useful since even with Lhana looking at it, she can’t see the whole figure that is drawn on that page unlike me who can see the picture of the map about our place called erhendem

I look at the vines and saw that it is still approaching me which is why I started cut it using the other tools I have but in my luck, just like to shovel from a while ago… it is now ruined and it doesn’t even make any changes.

Luckily, the vines are so slow in its movement making it be an advantage for me.

To think that my hand would avoided this kind of thing, I can say that my hands is good compared to those tools that I had prepared. With my power and strength that I had recieved from doing hings as those, it is truly sturdy and is useful.

Using my both handsx I opened the box to see if it contains anything or any objeft that this vines must be protecting. Even so, it isn’t as easy as what I think it would be.

Who would have thought that there is a puzzle in this thing to finished before opening this thing?

Isn’t it a grimoire or what? A sacred relics that have some weird spell cast… Hah, this is annoying.

I am not even familiar with this kind of lock. Who ever made this, is either a genius or a fool. Like… Look at this! Just have a fucking look at this thing! Damn… Weird shaped lock with this kind of I don’t know why it has holes on it. Hah… How difficult would it be to understand how this thing work.

Is this even a real thing in the first place?

I angrily look at the vines. Narrowing my eyes frowning at it I can say that I notice some odd thing placed on it’s body.

Vines are living like plants. It would die if the root is cut. But the root is it’s main functioning part. Just like it’s heart. It would die if it is gone since it is important. That is the main source of this thing. The very reason why it is living. Looking at the vines I saw some circular object hanging on it.

Just like a chimes. Or a collar with lots of pendants on it. It… Looks weird that it looks like those amulets that is placed on the top of the ritual stone I once break shattered. Even so, I can say that it is weird…

Looking at the lock part of the box I am holding, isn’t this thing seems to be fit in the holes? But… Why do I feel like it is smaller… I mean… What if it really aint that thing that is needed? The holes are a little bigger than those balls or beads that is hanging on the vines…

As it slowly approaches me, I can’t help but be curious. What if it’s root have beads that fits this hole?
