"Wh.. who?" asked the werewolf leader clueless.
"The one with you." said the figure in white again answered with a flat face.
"Those with me." said the man, pointing to the corpses of his four men.
"Stupid! I mean the person you injured with that stick over there!!" said the white robed figure again pointing at the iron bat stained with Peter's blood.
They were at the edge of the forest, Peter was indeed surrounded in a small abandoned alley but when they quarreled Peter kept on moving backwards and until finally who knows how long they have been at the edge of the forest.
"He...he's run over there." said the man pointing to where Peter was running.
"What did he tell you?" asked the figure in white again.
"Stay here or I'll regret it if he doesn't see me here when he comes back." said the werewolf leader fearfully.
He was really curious, why was a creature that only existed in legends looking for the boy, was it because of that mysterious power that suddenly appeared?
The white-robed figure smiled, then spoke again, "What does that person look like? Boy or girl?"
"A boy. He's still a child." replied the evil werewolf leader quickly.
"Children?" asked the figure in white, raising his eyebrows with interest.
"Not bad." he said nodding his head and smiling deeper.
What happened? What? The creature in the legend smiled? Why did he feel a little scared by that smile? The wolf leader shuddered in horror. He just hoped they didn't kill him.
And the boy's fate?
Hmph! He hoped they would kill him soon, no… he hoped they would fight and kill each other. Although he wasn't sure that the boy who had suddenly acquired mysterious powers would be able to defeat two beings from the forbidden area, whoever died in the end, he didn't care.
Drowning in the emotions and conspiracies that were woven into his mind the leader of the evil werewolves did not notice that the figure in white threw a black magic rope and tied himself to a tree located not far from his current place.
"You stay here." said the figure in white with an even expression.
"Why am I tied up??" asked the man did not accept.
"Didn't he say that you should stay here when he comes back? We're helping you." said the figure in white, grinning.
"Help?!! How is this called helping?!" shouted the man angrily.
"Billy." said the figure in white to the figure in black ignoring the screaming werewolf leader.
"We go?" asked the figure in black excitedly.
"Yes." said the figure in white smiling.
"Where?" asked the figure in black again.
"Let's go." said the figure in white answering the question of the figure in black again, then he and the figure in black disappeared as if swallowed by the dust.
The evil werewolf leader gulped, he had stopped his screams long ago. He was shocked to see the reality that was happening in front of him.
"T...te...teleport?!" shouted the man in disbelief, his mouth wide open, his face already like a fool.
###
Ana is still hesitant to leave the boy who saved her alone. Her worry grew even more when she saw the white mist thickening in the distance.
The white mist was really mysterious, she felt like the fog was walking closer to the two of them, she felt the white mist seemed to swallow the whole forest. While her mind was wandering all over the place, Ana felt very sleepy and finally fell asleep.
The figure of the woman in the golden dress appeared again near the two. She smiled at the figure of Ana and Peter.
"What a fated couple they really are. They're not called that for no reason." she said a little surprised.
She was indeed quite surprised because it seemed that the fates of the two people in front of her were closely intertwined. She hid the mysterious passage for children who like to seek freedom. Originally she had never even thought about interfering with any human destiny and encounter.
But the two people in front of her attracted her without her realizing it. Ana is able to open a mysterious path to the forest that no one has ever managed to open before.
This mysterious path is actually a dangerous path, to be more precise it is a magic path set by ancient people to escape when there is an attack on the castle, this path is a magic path that will transfer the people who use it to a random places so that the enemy cannot find out the place where the person was transferred.
That's why this path exists, but because of the time of peace. The people who live in the castle never want freedom or just want to get out of the castle. Ana is always treated like a valuable object, not allowed to leave the house because there are many dangerous things outside.
Her family didn't tell her the details of their work as werewolf hunters, Ana only knew that her father protected this Moonhill border as a marquess for the sake of the empire as well as the people who lived in their territory.
"Will fate unite them or will fate violently separate them?" asked the figure of the woman in the golden dress sighed.
She put Ana to sleep because it would be bad if two people who were rushing here found this little girl's whereabouts. Unlike Peter, they are old monsters who will immediately know that Ana has Orde blood in her body.
"They can't meet at this time." said the woman in gold again.
She sighed, in the end she had gotten too involved. Now, she must protect Ana and Peter from a cruel fate as much as possible. She will try to do her best for the happiness of her two beloved creatures.
"I hope my involvement doesn't cause any trouble." said the figure of the woman in the golden dress again.
How could two people destined to be together have such a cruel fate. They shouldn't have met in the first place, but they met again and again because that was their destiny.
The secret path that she had sealed could easily return Ana to this forest and meet Peter once again. The woman in the golden dress sighed again.
"If I can't change or stop the cruel destiny they have. At least I have to protect them from the dangers." said the woman in gold with determination.
All because of her carelessness which once again allowed Ana to pass through the secret passage. She had sealed it before but the seal was broken because of the serpent boy disguised as the crown prince of the Lutherluk empire.
Remembering that, the woman in golden dress subconsciously muttered in an annoyed tone, "You'd better hope we don't see each other again, or else it won't just hurt your eyes and legs."
Because of that damn boy, she can no longer seal the mysterious passage, now Ana can freely use the mysterious passage which only she can see for now.
