Everything is in chaos. Yelling and crying envelop the village. It is still the middle of the day, but the sun is nowhere to be found. People are running around while a howling sound permeated the air. The once calm village is now in chaos. Lang covered the siblings with his enlarged body. His robes were shredded, showing his macular body riddled with symbols, emblems, and lines. The whole tent was blown away, but no scratch can be found on his body.

The monstrous wolf attacked with a raised claw radiating with power. It moves so fast with abnormal speed even with its large body. Lang tossed the siblings out of the way with his left hand and blocked the attack with his right hand. Lang was pushed five meters due to the impact, leaving two deep gash on the ground. Lang punched the wolf's jaw with his left hand, sending the wolf tumbling up in the air, landing ten meters away.

It stood in all fours as if nothing happened. A very strong bloodlust is coming from its body while steering its head in the sibling's direction. Its eyes glow with suffocating killing intent. It snorted and focused its attention on Alab's eyes. It vanished and reappeared in front of Alab; it snapped at him, trying to bite with hit large fangs. This time Alab was able to dodge at the right moment. That night when he was attacked in Dorsum, his eyes cannot follow the monster's movement, but somehow the wolf's attacks slowed down. This time his blood did not freeze, and he can withstand the wolf's pressure. The claws came right after, but Alab evades nimbly while carrying his sister out of danger.

This small delay allowed Lang to come to their rescue. Large "V" streaked his legs started to flicker, and Lang was able to keep up with the wolf's speed. He rammed against the wolf's body, knocking it to the ground. The shockwave was so strong, the earth trembled. Langs' white hair and long beard are a stark contrast to his powerful bulging body as he grappled with the giant wolf. The wolf started to grow larger than before. It began to overwhelm Lang, but he endured.

His bare chest, the whole torso is marked with interlinking coils, looking like chainmail. It gleamed like a metal giving off an intense feeling. The wolf keeps on digging its fangs on Lang's skin, but it doesn't leave any mark. While Lang's powerful punches and kicks provide no damage, however, the surrounding tents and houses are in shambles. Another gleam came from his body, and Langs' skin color changed to a golden brown. He shouted while carrying the wolf on his shoulder, then throw it away from the sibling's location.

"Get away from here. I will stop it while you flee. Go as far you can go if you want to save this village from greater destruction. I will find you!" Lang's voice reached Alab's ears even his mouth did not open nor move. This shocked Alab, but he suppressed his emotions and started to move.

Everything is happening so fast, Alab and Ngebe were not able to run away. Alab eventually noticed that Ngebe is unconscious. She seems okay; nothing seems broken. It must have been the shockwave earlier that made her faint." Alab then put his sister on a piggyback ride while moving away from the fight.

He could see that the village is in disarray. The place where they are is almost in the middle of the town, and he could see the path of carnage the wolf went through to find him. He knows that if he stayed, the village would be destroyed because of him. Everything seems unreal; yesterday, he was just a simple hunter living in a simple town with his sister. The realization that he needs to leave the village made Alab remember when he was young growing up in Kasa village.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

He remembers how grandma Lola brought them to the village to visit and play around. The days when they joined the village celebrations being held every year. The villagers are simple folk, but they are kind and warm people. He doesn't want the village he had come to love to be destroyed because of his reluctance to leave.

He looked back where Ngebe's beautiful face, like a sleeping fairy, rested on his shoulder. Ngebe is his beloved sister, she grew up with him, and he considers her the most important person in his life. For him, she is the most beautiful girl in the world. The truth might not be too far from Alab's thoughts.

Ngebe's complexion might be white as snow, but her large eyes are as warm as the sun. She has always been a beautiful girl, and now that she is almost a young woman, the more she becomes. Alab sees her as his own sister, so she never saw her as a woman. However, Ngebe is like a budding flower ready to bloom, and any man would be attracted to her.

Alab is pushing through the commotion going to John's tavern. His heart is breaking, but he decided to leave Ngebe in Jonh''s care. This could be the hardest decision he had ever made. She will be in danger if I bring her with me. He said this to try to convince himself, to prevent tears from gushing out his eyes.

After just a few minutes, he arrived at John's tavern when he saw John coming out with a giant ax. "What happened to Ngebe? I heard something attacked the village."John's deep voice is layered with concern. "She fainted, but she is fine," he answered. "I need to go. I'll leave Ngebe here with you. Please take care of her for me. There is no more time." John's face frowned with disbelief, but he nodded. "You sound like your going to leave her forever or something. Why and where are you going?" Alab carefully carries Ngebe in his arms, and he was about to hand her to John when she woke up.

She was disoriented at first, and he looked at Alab with confusion. She glanced at John and asked, "What is happening?" John shrugged. "Your brother is saying he will leave you here with me. I'm not sure where he needs to go" Ngebe's eyes widen with realization. "You can't just leave me here. I'm going with you!" She struggled from Alab's arms. "Let me down!" she grumbled. "I know what your thinking but you will not leave by yourself. I'm coming with you."

"You saw what was hunting me. If you stay with me, you might get hurt or worst ..." Alab's voice faltered, but he sighed and continued with an intense voice."I can't let that happen. It is better this way." Ngebe got angry when she heard that. "What about you? Do you think you won't get hurt? You might not come back." Ngebe knows she will be a burden if she goes with him, but she is not convinced. "I know you can protect yourself, but you do stupid things all the time..because .. because you're my stupid brother. What will happen if you don't know what to do? I won't be there to help you." She is on the verge of crying, and she knows she is just making excuses so Alab won't go without her.

Alab gaze at his sister. He knows she is gentle, but she becomes stubborn and determined if something she sets her mind to. If he went without her, there is a possibility that she would follow him on her own. His mind is at war with his heart. Reason tells him that he needs to leave his sister, but his heart wants the opposite. What should I do?
