Bound of Destiny with Wolves
The flame is extinguished

Thea turned her head back as she took increasingly distant steps from Goa that she had been living in for days. His heart still felt heavy leaving this first house in the world called Godland.

Although Goa was only a narrow room with a bed of hard and cold stone, but he could fall asleep. There was no worry in his mind. Sleeping on the rock also once brought Thea met her father in a dream. Depressed man who left her at 5 years old.

Whereas as long as he lives in his real world, he sleeps on a mattress that is quite soft. But his sleep was never good. The sound of shouting is often heard and roaring in the cavity of his ear. Shadows of fear because they are left behind still always disturb him.

“The man is crazy. Get him out of this place. Don't let him hurt our children.” A frightened woman's speech saw Thea's father run amok, again ringing in Thea's ears. His eyes were glaring sharply, like tearing apart Thea's heart which was still very fragile. He could only cry without understanding why they hated Thea and her father so much.

The incident took place when the father accidentally doused Thea with water from the top of the container. His empty mind made him accidentally injure Thea. But little Thea had not understood that. And because of his painful cries, the accusation of injuring a young child is getting louder on the father.

They are driven away and Thea's father dies on their way out of town, due to an accident. Little Thea grew up on the streets with the scavengers. He picked up the trash and sold it. The big guys only paid him with coins or bread for Thea's food. All these difficulties faced Thea until she grew up.

“You still want to stay there?” Xavier asked when he found out Thea was just staring unmoved. While he had already walked first in front of Thea.

“No. Come!” Sahut Thea who soon realized. Wasn't moving house a common thing for Thea?

Thea continued her steps following Xavier and lined up the man's steps.

“Where do we go?” Ask Thea who is trying to look ordinary.

Xavier doesn't want to. He noticed Thea's expression for a while. Although pretending nothing happened, but the girl's face clearly harbored sadness. Is leaving Goa the reason this girl is sad?

“People who have never had a purpose should not feel a sense of belonging towards something. Moreover feel leave.” Xavier said flatly.

Thea smiled a little. “Sure.” His mouth, while raising his shoulders. Xavier's words felt right for him to understand.

Seeing the change in Thea's expression, Xavier felt this girl was able to grasp it quickly.

“You still carry your spear?” Xavier noticed a fairly long spear in Thea's hand.

“Yes. Maybe we need it when we're going to hunt for food later.” Thea nodded at the spear and looked at it with pride. Other than the disconnected bracelet, this was the second thing that was never far away from him.

“Then, go up to my back.” Xavier subdued his body which not long after that turned into a wolf.

Without waiting for long, Thea immediately climbed onto Xavier's back.

Carrying Thea on his back, Xavier began to run violently. He tried to avoid hidden places that might have hunters around him.

“Sebt!” Sure enough, an arrow returned to Xavier and Thea. Almost hit Thea's body. Luckily Xavvier was able to avoid it.

“You just duck!” exclaim Xavier who increase the speed of running.

Thea obediently bowed her body as she clung to Xavier's neck. The tightness of Xavier's running made Thea barely able to see the surroundings. His eyes were sharp-pinched but nothing had been caught by his sight.

Will they be like this forever, running and running away from one place to another?

“Tolooong... Toloooong A sound made Xavier's ears tapered.

He stopped his steps for a moment and looked around him. It stood right on top of a huge rock that became the boundary between the land Clan and the water clan.

“You heard it?” ask Xavier.

“Iya, I heard it.” Thea straightened up and came down from Xavier's back.

“Have we arrived at the water clan?” Thea looked around at her stranger surroundings. A river flowed before him.

“Iyaa.. This was the boundary of the region between the water clan and the land clan. Can you swim?”

The clear blue river water looks so calm but surely at the bottom is very washed away.

“Can. But to cross a river this wide, I'm not sure I can afford.” Reveal Thea pessimistically.

He looked at the deep surface of the water and reflected his face with a wolf beside him. In a matter of seconds, Xavier transformed his form back into a human figure.

“Tolooong... Tolooonggg...” The voice was heard again, making the two have to hurry.

“Iya.” Thea's getting ready. He took a deep breath and breathed it out.

Over and over again he did so until Xavier suddenly grabbed his hand and took it jumping.

“Byurrr..”

They went into the water and swam towards the edge which was about 10 meters away. Although the water is very clear but Thea still can not see the deepest boundary of this river. The deeper he swam, the more the rushing water current was about to bring him downstream.

Thea raised her head to the surface to breathe air, as did Xavier. From where they were, their journey was only about a quarter.

“Come we continue.” Bring Xavier to draw Thea's hand.

Thea went diving and suddenly, somehow Thea felt dizzy. The water under his body was like spinning and pulling his body.

Thea thrashed in fear. Xavier, who was aware of Thea's attitude, immediately pulled the girl's body closer to her. He accelerated his foot movements to swim. He occasionally brought Thea to the surface to take a breath and then continued his journey to the riverbank.

“Aahh aahh aahh...” Thea is still breathless when it arrives at the river. He sat down weakly with Xavier looking at him anxiously.

“You okay?” Ask Xavier.

Thea simply nodded, she could not answer yet because her chest still felt tight.

The atmosphere in the land and water clans was indeed different. The air feels cooler here.

“Come we have to leave immediately, here is not safe.” Xavier helps Thea stand up and hold her waist.

Thea goes wherever Xavier takes her.

After walking far enough, they felt that the sound of a cry for help was getting clearer.

“Toloooong.. Tolooong...” This time his voice began to weaken, like he was running out of power to have it please.

Thea sped up her pace but Xavier immediately held her back.

“Be careful, maybe this is a trap for us.” Xavier's alert message.

Thea nodded in agreement. Xavier was right, in a foreign place like this it might be a trap for them to get close.

Entering the forest, the atmosphere was completely different. Thea felt that this place had a different energy. In this forest, Thea did not see a single beast flying nearby. It was very much different from the forest that existed in the territory of the land clan.

“Toloong,, Please.” The voice is getting weaker among the quiet and quiet sounds of the forest.

“There.” Point Xavier at a tree with a large trunk running across it. He saw a girl lying with a wood on her feet.

“She's alone.” Thea continued to settle down, approached the girl and hid behind a tree.

“Wait here, I'll help him.”

Xavier walks in front of Thea. He was about to run quickly and use his strength to save the girl. Suddenly, his legs felt heavy.

“Why?” Thea noticed Xavier who seemed to have trouble moving his legs.

“So please, I can't move my legs.” Complaints Xavier who looked at his two legs in confusion.

“What because we swim too far?”

“I'm not sure.” Xavier still seemed to think.

Treating his curiosity, Xavier raised his hand and attempted to bring out the flames in his palm. But having tried it a few times, the flame still did not burn in his hands. Her pupils did not turn red.

“What power am I missing?” xavier said weakly.
