Ch. 14Alone with You


I was dumbfounded and speechless as Ryuu dragged me and quickly brought me back to the temple where the five were sleeping. Goddess Kunal sleeping peacefully on her tiny clouds, and it was not in myself to wake them up. I formed a white smoke and quickly blew it towards them which caused them to wake up. "And you wake up the nosy ones, again." Ryuu smirks and I just shrugged at him. With confusion on their eyes, I knew that they noticed something strange about Ryuu and me at that moment. I glanced at Goddess Kunal who was now busy with her amulet. Amulet? I just noticed it now. I clasped my hand in my mouth when I saw it up close. It was the Arcane Glass of Cursing that he now had. The reason why his friend disappeared. Does he not know that or we are with fake Goddess Kunal now? Not only Goddesses have the ability to create her likeness but also dark witches sometimes using black magic and old enchanta. I brandished my bracelet, a bangle in my left hand and whispered an incantation. Meanwhile, the four nosy ones and Ryuu gave me a confusing look but I didn't give a chance to glance at them. I focus myself in spells taught to me by the four witches. It was kinda dangerous, but it was enough to know that the Goddess Kunal with us was indeed a fake. A cold breeze enveloped me. The wind speed up is the reason why my system is losing. The roses inside me, dying within just until I released them. I can also feel my eyes turning golden and my palm open, and in a few moments my red roses will come out. Goddess Kunal looks like she's scared of her life now, as the moment my roses are finally coated with the fire. As my golden eyes glistened in with the blazing fire. The element of fire and wind was enough, since the two elements were compatible with each other. "You're a fake. Why don't you expose your identity?" I shouted at her, aiming the fire roses at her direction. The four were confused which was the reason for even more chaos in the temple at that moment. My veins are almost bursting with anger. No one can touch that forbidden thing. We have a false companion, and he wants to confuse us. She knows my secret. . . my real identity. "You're one of the witches, aren't you?" I asked him again and the flowers with fire crawled more towards him. "Uhm. What the hell is happening, Fala." Samiel asks. "Why are you attacking the goddess? Are you on drugs, Fala?" Jackson laughed after what he said, and the three nosy ones gave him a death glare. Even Ryuu was now looking at me seriously. "For God's sake, Jackson," the three exclaimed and I ignored them. Goddess Kunal looked at me, the hesitation and confusion between us suddenly disappeared when a mist shrouds us. And suddenly— In the middle of the temple, I found myself suffocating in the fire that I have created. Goddess Kunal created a smoke, a black smoke—a poisonous smoke to be exact. He laughed so loudly that it caused the five of them to startle and back away from him. With their widened eyes and open mouths, I know they are shocked and confused by what is happening now. I pricked my blazing rose, formed like a dagger and aimed at her. But the Goddess is just like windhe avoided that in a quick time. "What the hell is happening, Caran?" Ryuu shouted on the other side. I just nodded at him and quickly lifted my flaming rose towards the direction of Goddess Kunal who was now just like wind in my eyes. It was indeed a fake, and another soul remained in that body. Probably one of the dark witches, the dark witches of all time who can do the forbidden spell. An alchemy of memories—the one who can exchange their souls. Only a royal enchantress and a professional mage can do that spell. Thousands of spells, an old enchantment. "The one who taught this spell is your—" I cut her off before she finally finished her sentence, by using the silver chain that came out in my blood. It stopped and looked at me gently. Irrespective of the burning fire of my roses, the true form gradually came out or should I say, the black smoke came out of Goddess Kunal's body and a black soul was exposed in front of me. Goddess Kunal's body fell and lay on the floor and only her soul floated in the air. A soul that at first glance was covered in sorrow, pain, pain and depression when it was still alive. It looked at me and whispered to me an unfamiliar language and an unknown curse. A strange feeling envelops my whole body, as she mumbled those words. "Shit. Caran. Not that one, help brothers. Not that one," Ryuu said helplessly. The four who were now in their wolf form quickly went into the dark smoke and they howled and the angry Ryuu quickly jumped up grabbing a familiar object and quickly threw it at the black soul. After a few moments, it completely disappeared in front of us. "Shit. That's almost there, Fallon." Jackson fell to his knees. While the four just held their breath. "Woah. It was almost the same, just like what happened to your old mate, Fallon," Samiel said. I looked at Fallon in confusion and he looked at Jackson who was now grinning and rubbing his palms together before speaking. While Blair and Ryuu seem to be talking about something else. "We're talking about you, Goddess Fala," Blair said. I was surprised for a moment and the three just whistled because of what he said. I diverted my gaze and it focused on the body of Goddess Kunal whom I immediately went to and woke up with my white rose. "It is enough to rest for many years, dear Goddess Kunal. You are free," I whispered to her. Even before he woke up, I immediately grabbed the amulet that was the reason why his friend turned into a lake. I let her sleep for a while when I felt the heat and pulse in her body returning. "Samiel and Blair. Would you mind helping me carry the Goddess?" I asked the two and they nodded. As soon as Deyosa Kunal was loaded with two they laid her down in the thin cloud she made when we rested. I looked back at Fallon, Jackson and Samiel who had now returned to his place. They sighed heavily before speaking. "A lot of full of moon have passed, maybe a years ago. Fallon has mate, one of the wicked and intelligent white wolf in our race," Samiel began. I nodded at them so they could continue. "She's the best white wolf. A powerful, and yet one of the dark witches cursed her. A spell that can break himr bond with her mate, if she wants to be her mate. She will eventually turn into ashes and leave this world with overflowing cries and pain," Jackson added. I frowned at them. "So, y—you mean? Your mate died because of the curse?" I asked them but all they could do was shake their heads. "She chose to cut our mate bond— it hurts more than death," Fallon continued with a single teardrop on his cheeks. I diverted my gaze the moment I found Ryuu looking at me strangely, after Fallon confessed about what happened in her mate. "And you are saying that the curse that was given to him is the same curse that will be given to me?" I asked them and they slowly nodded to me. "It's a good thing that Waylen got rid of that black soul right away. Oh, that one. I smell something freshy," Jackson giggles and received a hug from the two. It seems like Ryuu was done on his things, he walks slowly towards me. "Can I talk privately with Caran? So, boys. Move aside," Ryuu ordered them and quickly left when he saw that Ryuu seemed angry with the two of them. The two immediately went to Blair and Samiel who were now guarding Goddess Kunal. "What do you want from me, you stupid dog." I hissed. He didn't answer me but instead, he took my hand and looked at me intently. His fingers intertwined with mine, like a strings intertwined beautifully. "You risk my life to save me, to help me." He pulled me closer and our foreheads touched, our noses met and I could almost smell his breath. And every time he spoke it gave me a unique strength. "I will do it the same with you. Just call my name in the wind, and you will find me howling in the moonlight lit. You'll never be alone with your roses again, Fala," he kissed my forehead as he headed the way into his pack and left me staring blankly.
