Runaway Alpha

The only thing I can do is close my eyes as I feel like a very radiant light was blinding me on purpose. I can’t open it since I can still see the white light. Even if I wanted to, It’s not letting me to do so.

“You can now open your eyes. Sorry for not giving a warning”

He said as I still remain closing it and to my surprise as my vision finally came into me…

What welcomed me is a place that is wider than it looks like.

I only thought that the exclusive chamber is as big as the library space but then if you are in the inside… I can even say that it is much bigger than it looks like

I am not sure what kind of thing make it looks like this but… indeed, I am amazed by how this old looking library hold a majestic and wonderous place as this. One can’t even imagine that this is the place they called as exclusive chamber.

And now as I let go of my thoughts, I sensed that I am not alone

I’m somehow surprised to see that the elders as well as my father are inside too. They are watching me who was standing in the center of the part where some misty fog are flowing around in circle as it seems to be the ground.

I am not sure what to say but then everyone seems to look at me as if they are analyzing what I would do. Luckily I didn’t act like a child who seems to be overjoyed about what he see. Wait,,, did I somehow created that kind of face? Surely… not. Right?

As I look up above, I can see the moon that is carved on the ceiling of this place.

Millions of stars can be seen covering the whole ceiling as there are also one who are carved on the walls. It was like a strange ink of carving since each stars and lines carved up there are glowing. It is as if they have the… aura of the moonlight.

“Those lights have the affinity of moon”

How did I know that I am thinking about that carvings? Well, maybe they noticed me looking at them?

“We have been waiting for your arrival, Emric”

How did they know thay I’ll go in here today?

Today… somehow… did they really asked people to followed me so that they will know whether I am going or not ? Even so… what would they do if I didn’t came? Are they going to stay here waiting for me?

It was my father who took a step forward to me. I can see how he cautiously looked at my feet to see whether there are something strange happening to it. Truly, nothing seems to worsen this thing. It is a good thing that it is covered. No people would think that I have a marking such as that.

He didn’t call me but he pat my shoulder he is standing in front of me. It is as if he was welcomeing my presence.

“This is a place that I have seen when I turn 28 and contributed a lot for our village. It is such a privilege for me to enter in this chamber.”

There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. How I admire his love and devotion of the village and the moon goddess. Didn’t he feel bad having this much of a responsibility? I somehow feel bad for not having a faith like thattowards the goddess of the moon who they says that is blessing us and guiding us to safety.

“This place holds those things that you can never acquire even if you roam all around the village with your whole life”

My father sounds so serious as if what he is saying is in the truth. Well, he always says what is true so I guess that is a fact but then I still have my doubts. I assume that this world is bigger that what we hought it is. There are places yet to discovered. This place… I mean this chamber… judging our state, I wonder if there are books about the outside of the forbidden wall. It’s not that impossible but ever since this place is only touchable by those who have recognition to be here, no one ever proclaimed thay there are such an existence.

“If you have no talent and enough power to gain the reputation and recognition in this village you can never have the chance to get in here . Even if you use in your whole life, even if you turned old to the point that you are in the brink of death… you can never see this place if you haven’t yet given great contribution. ”

Indeed.. this place is not that simple that is why even I am not sure whether it is truly befitting for me to enter this place

“Might sound so simple that a wolves gain a recognition and have the power to enter in this exclusive chamber but if you truly know It’s worth and it’s value..”

“At the young age I know that you have lots of potential and you never let me down”

Those words never came out from my father’s mouth before but then at this moment he just said it. It feels so impossible since he never talked to me and tell me that kind of things. I never hear him say to me that I did a good job about something or that I have done a good work… that is why this feels so odd as if it is unrealistic

“And now you truly done something that is beyond my expectation. Son, You did a good job. Truly befitting for you to be called as my child, no, you are more than what I have expected my child to be”

At this moment I can’t fully say what I am thinking right now or what I am feeling right now because the only thing I know is that there’s some strange feeling covered in my whole body.

This… it is a if they don’t know what they are experiencing. My body can’t recognize this feeling but I can say that it isn’t a bad thing…

To hear your parents tell you that they are proud of what you have done, it gives me an unexplainable feeling. Well, it is not that It never wanted this to happen but still… since I was a little , it was my mother who will show me her love and make me feel like I am special but that is not the same to my father

I’m not sure why I feel like I’m having warm tears that is floating down to my ears.

I am not a cry baby since I was a little and I will often keep my calm whenever there’s a situation that are so tearing up

Even when the pet of mine died I never cried. Even if my favorite day was ruined I never shred tears. Even if the ttoy that the grand parents of mine got ruined, I never ever cried my heart out and fix it. But later these days, my eyes seems to me of those infants. Crying for such simple matters… well, I doubt if it is truly simple…

But the fact that the simple words coming from my father, the simple recognition he had said to me would create this much fuss in my feelingsNôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

I tried to wipe my tears but I just heard how my father laughed

“Now you are acting like a real child”

I heard him mumble as he Pat my head I am sure that the others are watching but I don’t care whether they see the side of mine

Indeed I am not an adult yet but I am still not a child. I am something in between, But even so, everyone in this world is a child. For there are ones who live the longest time we can see a life of a being as a mere breath of a short while
