Chapter 644: WOULDN’T BE OUR LOSS
The thrill of being able to walk again after so many years, still left Kellan speechless. He was trying to think what had actually happened a minute ago when he stood on his own feet.
He could feel his feet, but right now. He couldn’t feel anything anymore. Both of his feet became numb again. He couldn’t stand and right now he was sitting on the floor, reeling with the excitement of the possibility for him to be able to walk again.
His eyes darted from his legs and then to Decratic, the young man, who looked like Alan when he was on the same age as his.
Decratic approached Kellan and knelt down, so he would be on the same eyes level like him. "Can you see that? Can you feel that? You can walk again. You can do whatever you want without that stupid wheelchair. Don’t you think that wheelchair is a chain that has shackled you for years? Imagine you can go out and run on your own feet... imagine that."
Kellan gulped down nervously.
Decratic was an old soul. He was an ancient creature, he was already here ever since this realm was created. He was already here, even before the light illuminated the whole world. He was the darkness and everything that had been created right now came from nothingness.
He was as old as time itself.
"What do you want from me in return?" Kellan tried to see reason and snap himself out of it, because he knew for sure there was nothing free in this world. Such huge favor wouldn’t be given like a charity.
But then, Kellan couldn’t think of anything, since there was nothing for him to offer to this mysterious man.
What was going on right now? Where did this man come from and why he was in Alan’s bedroom? More so, Dexter looked very respectful toward him.
The answer was very simple. "I want you."
Kellan frowned. "What do you mean you want me?" There were a lot of nasty thoughts that came into his mind, but he dismissed all of those irrelevant possibilities.
There was no way this man was into something like that.
On the other hand, as if he could read his mind, even though Decratic was completely able to do so, he was laughing at him. "I will not ask much. I only want your soul. Give me your soul and I will give your ability to walk again..."
Kellan frowned even harder. He had never heard that kind of term. "What do you mean by giving you my soul?"
Decratic smiled at him harmlessly. He crept closer to him and touch his knees. "I want you to give up your soul, your beast, surrender yourself to me. As long as you obeyed my order, I will give you whatever you want."
Kellan’s eyes flashed with greediness, his heart soared when he could move his legs again. He could feel his legs again and this feeling resolved his decision pretty quickly. There was no way he would give up the opportunity to get rid of that stupid wheelchair.
"I will give you my soul and everything that you want," Kellan said enthusiastically. For the first time in a decade, he felt full of vigor. He could do whatever he wanted. He could walk again! The hell with his beast, soul or anything else! He would give up on those things in a heartbeat if he could walk again.
"Great..." Decratic grinned. He then placed both of his palms on the side of Kellan’s head.
At first, Kellan was confused what he was going to do, but then he felt it! The excruciating pain that made him thinking his head was going to explode.
He screamed on the top of his lungs and his voice echoed throughout the walls, corridors, inside the king palace. It lasted for more than ten second before everything went quiet once again.
Meanwhile, in different part of the palace, inside the Wizard Tower, in a secret chamber, a certain woman with eyes as red as blood stared at the small window from her room.
"Lady Aria," Letto called her carefully. He approached her, squeezing his own hands nervously. "Lady Cyan wanted to see you. She wanted to discuss something with you..."
Aria growled and hurled a cup against the wall, which shattered into hundred pieces and startled Letto. He jumped back, so he wouldn’t hurt himself.
The boy looked very scared at Aria nowadays. She had been in extremely bad mood, especially when master was away.
"What that blind woman wanted to do with me?!" Aria roared. Her anger was hard to be described. She wanted to die! But, she couldn’t even do it when that sick dark sorcerer would bring her back to live again!
She hated it so much, even she couldn’t have a free will to die!
"I don’t know, my lady..." Letto replied, trembling. He gulped down so hard to calm himself. "I have told her that you are not well, but she said, she needed you urgently."
Actually, the exact words that Cyan said was; ’there is no way a dead people can feel unwell!’, but of course, Letto was not so dense to relay it to Aria.
Both women were so hard to please and Letto found himself was between a rock and a hard place. Aria and Cyan had their own nastiness and to make things worse, they were very obstinate. There was no talking to either of them.
Yet, Cyan was the strategizes, while Aria had a lot of information that she needed.
"Lady Aria..." Letto reminded her that she needed to give a visit to Cyan, because she stayed silence for a long time, trying to adjust her emotions. "Should we go now?"
Letto took two steps back when Aria threw him a vicious look, as if she was going to suck his blood dry, but then she stormed out of the room, knocked him to the side when she walked past him.
===============================
"Where is that merchant?" Alpha Nolan looked around, but he couldn’t find Lou. His man told him that Lou was seen to enter Cane’s tent, but then they didn’t see them coming out, yet Cane came from the direction of the pack house, while Lou was missing. "He is not run away, right?"
They were only an hour away from their meeting with the border warrior, but now the person that they demanded was not here.
Currently, alpha Nolan and Cane were talking inside the former’s tent.
"You don’t need to worry about him," Cane said, he sat down on the chair and then nodded to the other alpha to sit down as well. He was aware how much this gesture irritated him, but then he wouldn’t do it, if it did not.
Alpha Nolan chose to stand. He didn’t want to feed Cane’s ego by following what he told him to do, yet Cane couldn’t care less whether he was sitting down or standing up.
"So, you have decided to hand him over to them?"
"No." Cane shook his head.
Alpha Nolan narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t comprehend what he meant with that. "What do you mean with a ’no’? We have an easy way out, but you want to make things difficult." He threw his arms up. "I don’t even need to get involved in this matter, if all they wanted is that merchant."
"Whether you want to get involved or not, you are already part of it, since you have joined hand with Red Claw pack to oppose the royal." Cane tilted his head, staring at alpha Nolan, he was observing him swiftly. "It’s so brave of you to fight against the royal."
"I don’t like the royal." Alpha Nolan rolled his eyes. "They are a bunch of hypocrites." He then added with a derisive smile. "Of course, you are not included, that’s why your mother, Crystal, stayed away from her former family and secluded herself in the Howling Wolf pack. Even so, she still couldn’t get away from her fate. It’s a pity."
Alpha Nolan watched Cane’s expression, waiting for his reaction after what he said, but there was nothing much, Cane was callous, he looked heartless when he didn’t show any emotions when alpha Nolan talked about his mother.
Instead, he agreed with him.
"Indeed. It’s a pity."
Alpha Nolan didn’t like this calmness. This young alpha looked like there was nothing could ruffle his fur.
"What are you going to do? You know what will happen if you reject to hand over the merchant, right?"
"I know."
Alpha Nolan narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t read what kind of game Cane was playing. "Are you going to declare war against king Alan?"
Cane chuckled when he heard that. "You don’t even address me with my title properly, but you address your enemy politely." He didn’t sound upset with that fact, but instead it sounded like a joke in his ears. "You went to a battle with Koda and alpha Colter against the royal, knowing very well the aimed was to seize the throne, but you didn’t expect a full war?"
Alpha Nolan startled, but he was quick to regain his composure. This was not the first time for him to be in this kind of situation, after all, he had lived long enough to counter this tricky situation.
"Just like you know, we suffered a great loss after the first battle. I think it’s not much to ask for a little bit more time and giving up the merchant will give us plenty. After all, Lou couldn’t help with anything with the war. Giving him up, it’s not a loss."
