The next few minutes are a blur for Laia when she has pulled away from the lounge by Hao who is questioning her, not being able to focus on anything other than the blinding rage directed at the man.
Laia was tense as she was led with her group to a room everything was tuned out her just focusing on Him. Her mind was swirling as she thought of ways to kill the man that hurt, that woman Wolf, is what they called her but she wanted to know her actual name. She had to know she had t-
“Laia…”
A wave of calm flowed through her as Azia perches on her shoulder.
“Your emotions are at an all-time high you need to take a breath and relax focus on my voice.”
She did what she was told and took a deep breath.
Her vision comes back to her as she had been glaring at the man, Hao who had been confused by her behavior stood next to her. Jamire who tried to get multiple times to get her attention to calm her down sat with a worried expression on his face.
Lemga sits in a large chair at the front of the long meeting table smirking. He has been observing this girl since he felt the spike of blood lust directed at him. It has been a long time since he has seen a person emit so much anger at him, he has to admit it’s refreshing.
“That is a lot of murderous intent Little Bird it’s getting a little scary.”
He shifts his attention to the golden bird that appeared bird that appeared on her shoulder.
“Ah, so you have been chosen as well then?”
She takes another deep breath to continue to get her bearings before glaring down at the older man but her curiosity makes her speak.
“Chosen?”
Showing an irritating grin ignoring everyone else in the room his focus on her, standing abruptly he waves his arms in a grand gesture.
“Yes! Only people that are chosen by the Gods can have an Emotia!”
He points down at her right hand.
“And It seems you gave some of that power to another.”
She moves her hand to see what he meant realizing that her hand has a Golden Wolf Tattoo that is warm on her skin. She grazes her fingers upon it studying it, she didn't have this before.
“I didn't think one of my guests would find themselves attached to someone from the Old World. That’s probably why you want to murder me right since I hurt Wolf?”
“I...”
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
He cuts her off full of himself.
“Don’t worry I already knew the answer, now the real question is does your Emotia calm you down, or does it feed into your anger?”
Laia glares at him, Azia sends another wave of calm over her she smiles gratefully for her friend’s ability.
“You should know the answer since I didn't attack you.”
He laughs heartily.
“Good point but it is funny to know that Wolf has someone from the New World so protective of her.”
He turns back to Hao who calmly watched the exchange just in case anything got out of hand.
“Since my curiosity has been sated I think we should go back to the business at hand.”
Legma pulls out a map and spreads it on the table in front of the group.
“Now the Monster is called Neja he has been spreading the mist far in this area but he only seems to attack close to the New World and the Hughu.”
He points between the New World border and moves his hand down to a circle on the map.
“We are a few miles from where the mist is denseness that’s most likely where your target is.”
Hao nods in understanding.
“Do you know exactly what the creature looks like?”
“From reports, it crawls on all fours and has a lizard body with a bullhead.”
“Hmm if you called upon us to fight the creature it must have been reeking a lot of havoc. We will kill this beast for you post haste.”
“There is a problem though our carriages got attacked so it has been destroyed so we don't have a good way to travel.
“So that’s why my escorts didn't show up with you, I have an idea that will be fun.”
He focuses on Laia who just glares back at him.
“I know a Young Wolf that doesn't live far from here and she even has a carriage to take you on your mission but since you need another I can provide that.”
Laia frowns skeptically of his claim.
“But why would she even want to help us don't they attack outsiders?
“Yes but you Little Bird has a connection to Wolf on your right hand.”
The warmth of her right hand makes her glance at it.
“How can you be so sure?”
He lifts his sleeve and shows a pig tattoo.
“Because I was also chosen. Now I will let you discuss this with Wolf because I’m pretty sure you don’t want me anywhere near her right now. I will like to keep my head.”
He leaves the room as Laia unconsciously grabs the hilt of her sword.
