Bound of Destiny with Wolves
Lake

The rising sun with a yellowish light that pierced through the leaves made Thea open her eyes. The eyelids that are still intertwined are now blinked several times to adjust the light that enters the retina.

Due to exhaustion he just fell asleep. Only the leaves are the base and the sky is the roof.

"Baaahh... My body is so sore." Thea tilted her head left and right while holding her neck that felt sore from sleeping without a pillow.

The heavy night that made him run with all his might to avoid the men who were chasing him, made his body completely give up. He was sound asleep despite the cold of the night made the fine hairs on his body bristled.

Thea tried to get up, resting on her two wounded hands.

“Awh, pain once.” He grimaced with the pain in both his hands and his feet.

The blood had dried up, and it froze as the snow fell last night. At least he exhaled, allowing him to see carbon gas coming out of his mouth like smoke vapor.

"Where am I really?" Thea asked herself.

He looked at the watch in his hand, unfortunately it was no longer working. Ripped his phone in his pocket, and it wasn't on either. Thea pressed the power button repeatedly, but the phone with the cracked screen remained off.

“Akh shit!” grunts Thea with emotion. He scratched his messy hair, violently.

“Wait, where are my glasses?” Thea realized that her glasses were no longer there. He was searched around, still his vision aids were not there.

If only he had not met the four men, he might not have gotten lost in this strange place. Although there is a sun, the light is not as bright as usual. The snowflakes kept covering the surface of the ground and the trees until only the coldness he felt.

Many things were missing from him, except for a faithful bracelet coiled around his left arm. A bracelet that he had never been able to take off since he was a child.

“Wait, why can I see it without glasses?” Thea asked herself, as she could see the blue dot in the middle of her bracelet without the need for glasses.

“Have my eyes healed?” Thea glared at every object that was nearby and all was seen so clearly. He can even distinguish the white color of fresh snow falling with a slightly yellowish snow because it mixes with the sap of the leaves.

“Hah, my eyes are completely healed! How can?!” Thea is happy on her own because she does not need to use glasses with a size of minus 6 it.

He tried to sniff something when the fragrance of the flowers was smelled by his nose.

“What is this called scented?” Thea followed the direction of the blowing wind and carried the fragrance.

From birth, he had a lack of not being able to smell anything. But today he can smell the fragrance. He can also smell the sour smell on his body because of the dry sweat on the body without him washing.

Thea's footsteps still followed the wind that blew carrying a strange fragrance for her. The further he stepped, the clearer the fragrance that greeted his nasal cavity.

From his place, he saw a flower growing near a white pine tree. Thea approached a flower she knew by the name of Camelia Flower.

“Wah, I can really smell this floral fragrance.” Thea said as the tip of her nose touched the petals of Camelia.

He smiled at the flowers. “Am I really healed? How can?” looking at the flower, he asked who it was.

On a whim, he also touched the snowflakes that were on the surface of the flower petals. With a little touch of it the snow fell.

“Cantics.” The compliment.

“Do I exist in the beautiful world of Alice as in fairy tales?” He asked the fir leaves filled with snowflakes and deliberately shook it so that the snow fell.

“Hahahaha..” Thea chuckles. What he is doing right now is quite entertaining

He sat under a fir tree, closing his eyes as he sighed deeply.

“If this is a dream, then I hope I will never wake up. In this place, I could smell the flowers, look without glasses and feel that this place welcomed me well. Although it is cold, it is better for me.” Her speech.

This foreign place apparently gave a lot of good changes in Thea.

He opened his eyes and looked at the not-so-white clouds.

Although there is a sun, the sky is not as bright as usual. It is as if there is rain ready to fall at any time from the clouds that shade it.

Long silent, Thea felt her tummy rumble.

“I'm very hungry.” He got up from his seat and looked around. There was no road visible as the direction he had to go.

“Where can I find food?” he was alone because there was nothing he could ask.

Thea walked in any direction. Letting his feet print a trail that no one will see. On some snow-covered rocks, he saw green moss. The further he stepped, the more moss on the rocks.

“It looks like I will soon meet with river or lake.” Mumbled.

Thea sped up her steps towards the direction she believed was heading towards a river or lake. The more moss on the rocks the step faster until finally he decided to run.

A different view was seen by Thea as she came out of the forest and revealed a wide leaf that blocked her view.

“Waaawww... It is very beautiful..” Thea's eyes were amazed when she saw the scene before her eyes.

A lake with not too tall trees and thick leaves was also wide, standing around Thea. There was no snow in this place, only the air was equally cold. The sun is not too hot, either because of the many trees around Thea or because the light is not hot.

He approached the lip of the lake, then squatted there.

The clear water makes Thea can reflect and see his dirty face.

“Lucas is right, I am indeed very ugly.” Thea was sorry for herself.

It is only fitting that the environment always rejects it. Not a few people turned their faces when they saw Thea.

“Am I that bad?” lirih Thea while pulling her hair slowly. He appeared all over his face on the surface of the water that was not even rippling.

Slowly, Thea dipped her hand in the water. The coldness of the water seemed to spread to fill the nerve flow in his body to the tip of his head and feet.

“Ahhh... I love it..” Thea closed her eyes for a moment while feeling the coldness of the water she touched. The energy is like being replenished.

Not long after Thea reopened her eyes. He could see, the water that was originally calm, was now starting to ripple.

“Wait, what in this lake there is a culture?” Thea immediately pulled her hand. He was afraid if the water rippled because the inhabitants moved closer to Thea.

But the moment Thea raised her hand, the water ripples stopped.

“What's with this lake?” Thea noticed the surface of the water that did not move in the slightest.

Out of curiosity, he dipped back his hand and slowly the water ripples came back into sight.

He was engrossed in seeing the water ripples himself until then he decided to strip all his clothes one by one and leave only underwear. He walked towards the lake that was getting sloping longer until he submerged his body.

Within a few steps, Thea's head sank in the lake and the water remained with its ripples glittering when exposed to the sunlight.

“Haahh...” Thea head back appears on the surface. While throwing and taking alternating breaths. He needs to change the air in his chest cavity.

He slightly moved his legs and hands, swimming around the shallow lake and he felt that his body was like a union with nature.

Long enough Thea swam and enjoyed her time soaking. He stopped when he felt his stomach was hungry.

Returning to the mainland, Thea immediately put on her clothes.

“Hah, Lukaku where?” Thea was shocked to see some of her wounds begin to close.

He checked his elbows, only a thin wound that seemed to dry up as he saw it. He also had his stomach bumped, apparently his bruise had faded. Thea grew excited to check for injuries to her thighs, knees, calves and the tips of her big toes, all improving.

“Hah, what is this water medicine for all the assemblers?” Thea crouched down again and looked at her face that was bouncing off the surface of the water.

The rest of the ground on the cheeks, the wound on the corner of the lips even the blackish scar on his forehead was gone. He was increasingly convinced that the water of this lake was a cure for all diseases.

“If I drink it, will I also be full?” Thea's getting curious.

Without waiting, he immediately cupped the water with both hands, then drank it.

“Ahhh... very refreshing.” Her speech. It was like he was completely lost.

“Gruukkk...” Thea immediately touched her stomach when it turned out that her hunger remained not lost especially after swimming.

“I am very hungry, but there is no fruit I can eat.” Thea sat weakly by the lake.

While thinking, he flicked his finger in the water.

And how surprised he was when he saw some fish approaching.

“Hah, did I dream?” Thea immediately crouched down and increasingly excitedly snapped her fingers.

One fish of considerable size approached his index finger, then

“HAP!” thea easily caught him.

“Jeez this is so easy. They don't even fight.” Said Thea with a feeling of pleasure.

He caught two, three, four to five fish.

Put it on the edge of the lake and only a few moments the fish floundered then fell silent. Only the gill cover looks uncapped, trying to scoop oxygen out of the air.

“You go, these five fish are enough for me.” Thea.

He no longer snapped his fingers and let the fish go by itself.

The fish he had caught, he brought it closer to the rocks. Stabbed him with tree branches and tried to make a fireplace.

Thea swiped the tree branches on a pile of dry leaves and soon the flame was seen. Quickly he assembled the stone and made a furnace and put the fish on it.

It fanned it with wide dry leaves and the longer the fragrance grew smelled.

“Wah, it turns out like this the smell of grilled fish.” Thea muttered, sipping on the new fragrance she knew.

“Hrrrr... Hrrr...” Sayup-sayup Thea heard a quite foreign sound in her hearing.

“Hhhrrr... Hrrr The longer the sound is heard the louder it is.

“Who is it?!” Thea.

He was looking for a log that he could use against anyone who might approach.

Not long after, he saw a shadow above the leaves, the shadow growing bigger and closer. Thea immediately got up and took a swing if something approached.

And in a moment,

“AAaaakkkkkkkk!!!”
