Metanoia; The Hybrid
CHAPTER O3: THE ABSOLUTE DECISION.

After dinner, we did not accidentally gather in the living room. All because of the presence of Chairoz, and I heard that he was with my father talking about the Danveurn State Academy which will welcome the arrival of students tomorrow.

"Uncle, I heard you were one of the staff at Danveurn State Academy. Is that true?" I asked when some of the mother's family were discussing the matter last afternoon.

Chairoz nodded, "I didn't expect the Danveurn State Academy to invite me back either."

Last afternoon, I heard a conversation in this living room. At that time, I pretended to sleep in my mother's arms.

Grandfather Charles said, INTI troops did leave by accepting father's request. But, it is likely that after that they will change the structure of the guard and new missions to be carried out.

I just don't want my family to do anything.

They, INTI signed me just because I was different. They can't classify me as a Lycanthrope or a Vampire. However I haven't gotten my identity, that's what made them think that I was going to be a hybrid.

If I continue here, it will endanger everyone.

"Bring me with you" I said along with the open door of the living room. Everyone looked shocked, including the small family of the mother sister who had just arrived.

There, I saw a boy who was as tall as me, standing looking at me with a look of dislike. Even I saw him for the first time.

"You want to leave the kingdom?" Mother asked in a disbelief tone.

"That would be better, besides there I'll learn" I said.

"I agree. He was 8 years old, it was time for him to enter the academy. Maybe with his development there, he will get to his identity" said the father suddenly.

"Damian, Danveurn State Academy is very far away and not everyone can come to the region" the mother sounded worried.

"How can he never get out of the kingdom, how does he meet new people out there?" Add mom while looking at dad.

"Darling, it's not just about her identity. It's time he learned new things, it's time he entered the academy" said the father.

"How to also attend Danveurn State Academy? Wow what a coincidence Dylan too," said aunt Nala Northcliff as she brought the boy closer to me, "Let's get acquainted."

"Dylan Max" he said as he reached out.

I shook his hand, "Gara."

"Son't tell Dylan to get into Danveurn State Academy?" Ask mother.

"Not, but my husband. After all, Dylan was rarely taught by his father. When I heard this year that the Danveurn State Academy started to open enrollment and Dandelion Chairoz was going to stop by Alystra, my husband called her and asked her to enter Dylan's name" said Nala's aunt, pointing to Alexander Northcliff's uncle, her husband's.

"Thus, Gara will not be alone there. After all, many other nations contacted me a while ago. Perhaps, their children have already arrived at the academy at this time," explained Chairoz, "You don't need to worry, daughter Annelise. I'll be in charge of Gara."

Mom saw. Eyes glazed. Obviously, she would be devastated to know I would be out of her protective embrace. His mind will continue to think, what I eat, whether I sleep well, or which limb hurts when I am no longer visible to his eyes.

I approached my mother, she immediately grabbed me and hugged me on her lap. A few times my forehead was frowned upon. My messy hair is rubbed. My back was beaten slowly, as if to calm me down.

Mother, I should have calmed you down.

"There I'll be fine. I'm no longer a child, mother" I said.

"Mother knows. Here, there is your brother who will accompany mother" he said while hugging Allegro's brother who sat beside mother.

"Grandfather, can I go?" I asked King Charles Northcliff who kept watching me.

"If that's what you want, I won't forbid" he said, looking at me meaningfully, without a smile worrying about my condition.

"It has been decided, tomorrow you will leave for the Land of Danveur. Rest tonight, good night" grandfather Charles left us.

I'm going to miss my mom's hug. I held her, hugged her tightly. Falling asleep in his hand.

Annelise Northcliff POV

"Come, rest. Allegro was also sleepy." Damian approached me as everyone returned to their rooms to rest, except for Nala and Dylan who were still awake.

"I still want to be here. Allegro, let's go to your room, you're sleepy, aren't you?"

My first child, Allegro, came down from the sofa with his heavy eyes. Half consciously walked over, but Damian picked it up, "Don't you take it long, you should also take a break."

Damian and Allegro left, leaving us all that was left. I saw Gara's face. He's really fast asleep.

"Is Gara my sister?" Dylan asked suddenly.

"Yes, you're one year older than him" I said.

"Dylan is rare in the kingdom. He prefers to stay in our big house. So about the appearance of Gara, he does not know at all" said Nala explained.

"So, he's so different."

I looked back at Gara when I heard Dylan's plain words, while comforting his sleeping position, "He was different. He has a different eye color than the others. His nature is also opposite."

"What makes me say that he's different is what's inside him" Dylan's words startled Nala and me.

"When I was in front of the entrance, I thought there was a supreme Lycanthrope inside. The aura was so strong that it discouraged me from entering. Like an adult Alpha. When I entered, my eyes were highlighted on Gara's flaming bead of eyes. That's where I found the wolf" Dylan explained as he looked at Gara.

"I never, ever, felt the wolf aura from Gara" I honestly.

INTI said my son is a young Hybrid who has not yet brought out his true nature. We, the entire Supernatural nation, do not know about the Hybrid child with certainty, except those who have done direct research, nor have they been publicly disclosed. Never found a record of it in detail, INTI kept it tight for no apparent reason. The story begins hundreds of years ago, only to remember that the Hybrid kid exterminated many people and a cannibal.

But hearing the words of Vale Barbarian, I became worried about the condition of Gara if he was successfully brought. Will they treat Gara well?

The free-wheeling question kept spinning, no one knew the answer before that time came.

I'm just a mother who's worried about her son.

...The Sagara N.A POV...

This morning, I bid farewell to my mother's family, my family, and my brother Allegro.

"We will reach the port" Chairoz said, looking out the window at the horse-drawn carriage.

Brother Allegro said that he would write me a letter. He will have his crow, and deliver the letter through the crow, just as Chairoz did.

Dark day. Black clouds gathered up there, raining down on the entire Moldenleaf region.

The train started to run slow. I looked out the window, a port I visited yesterday was crowded. Looks like, there will be a lot of people going to the land of wolves, Danveurn.

"I think, in addition to the nobility and royal membership, no one can enter the territory of other clans" said Dylan when he saw the people of the kingdom of Claverdon who were preparing to leave.

"It's not like that. Everyone can enter the territory of another nation if they have a purpose. Like the people of the kingdom of Claverdon there, they traveled to trade, or for other reasons. Not all governments have permits to go out and enter the territory" Chairoz explained shortly before the train stopped.

I'm telling you what Chairoz is talking about, because he's a former Hunter who's still on some missions from different nations. Of course he would know things like that.

"Bring your luggage and meet me at the dock" Uncle Chairoz said, then he walked out.

"From now on you've been quiet, are you afraid of little brother?" Dylan asked me to speak while taking out his hairy robe to wear.

"We are only 1 year different, do not expect more" I said by wearing a robe made from the same as Dylan's.

Dylan chuckled for a moment, "What have you brought?"

"Only clothes and shoes."

"Isn't that weird?"

"What's so weird?"

"Which academy only had its students bring clothes? Though I wanted to enter the Urcmoonth State Academy but it was my father who was more powerful" Dylan lamented.

"Because there's Allegro's brother?" My toot.

"Because there are many of my friends!"

"As far as you go" I said as I got off the train, and put on a cape that covered my entire head.

"Wait for me little brother."

"Gosh, can you stop? You're not Allegro's brother, don't call me your brother."

"Although I am 1 year older than you" he said proudly, getting off the train.

"Call me with sister one more time, I'll hit you" I said as I walked away leaving her as the horse-drawn carriage we were riding began to move away.

"Haha."

I walked to the dock, followed by Dylan with a suitcase containing only clothes and shoes, and no one knew I was carrying my degger that Allegro gave me for my birthday yesterday.

"That's Chairoz" Dylan pointed towards the pier, where Uncle Lion stood, talking to some people. I saw a girl standing next to Chairoz.

Is he also Chairoz's student's son?
