C19 Old Wolf

Well, this was the second time that his father had expressed his desire to look over his majestic wings.

Emerald was confused as to what made his father curious about his wings suddenly. As it was a rare opportunity that Emerald used his wings for he had been in the human world for a long time or probably the last 300 years, and here he couldn't roam around flying, spreading those blessed wings.

Although he had been there in the human world for a long time, yet he was always keeping a low profile until the time of 25 years ago when his father, the present king of Azures had decided to go public and introduce every one of his family to humans- as humans.

When the king made that decision, even Luna was somewhat angry. But he was determined.

Nobody knew why he did that except for him and his Luna. That day, 25 years ago.... the king was sleeping inside his chamber in a slumber sleep dreaming of his late father, the previous king. The previous king aka Emperor told him to go public and be amidst humans like them. So the next day, the king told his decision to everyone.

Soon everyone got to know about the Azures. Although they had a massive business, they kept a low profile and started slowly so that people won't feel surprised and curious over the amount of wealth that they own suddenly.

Since those days Emerald had never used his powers in public let alone use his massive wings. So, what had happened today ...!

Emerald was in his reflections when his father snapped him out of his thoughts and asked ...

" Are u comfortable, son ?"

Gazing at his father's lovely and worried face, he shoved off his thoughts and replied with a faint smile...

" Yes, dad. I am good...

You just wait for 5 minutes. Let me freshen up and then you can have a good look at me and my wings."

Emerald didn't know what was going on in his father's mind and went on for a quick shower. Coming back and standing in front of his father he called him lovingly and affectionately …

“ Dad”

And in the next split second, there appeared a pair of satin black wings, protruding out of his spine and too massive that many people could hide under them. They were having golden lines here and there and the patterns which made his wings the most unique one among all the royals.

The king took slow and steady steps towards him and turned towards his back to have a good view of his wings.

He was gazing over his wings like he was trying to study something and taking longer than usual. But Emmy was still calm, as he was always a person who believed that no matter what his father would never do anything without any reason.

But the king was supervising his wings like he was trying to find out something; he was for sure. He was looking at the patterns formed on Emmy's wings which were somewhat different today.

Jasper ( The king) was doing all this because he was ordered by his mother, the grand empress. She told him to inspect Emmy's wings because only he knew how to study the patterns over them.

There was another pattern that was forming slowly and was almost halfway through. It looked like letter as if some name letter but was not still clear.

The king had previously studied his son's wings on his last birthday when they contained almost 6 patterns... 3 on each wing and they appeared to be like the letters in some ancient kind of a language which was lost from their world ages ago, but Jasper could study it because he was taught to by the previous king.

They were like the letters which were appearing in the form of letters like ...

T

A

R

E

L

C ...

Still the last letter kind of Patten was forming on his wings from the middle and it looked like. .. it was emerging directly from his spine.

A small and faint smile crept on the sober face of the king and it was assuring kind of smile which was enough for anyone to find that he was satisfied looking at his son's wings.

But all of it took quite long and Emerald went suspicious and asked ...

" What is taking you so long father? "

"I... I. I was just checking ." he replied.

Emerald was like .." ……"

He became speechless, while his father, the king had noted down all the letters like patterns inside his mind, but as the

king was about to tell Emmy to get back into his original humane form, he spotted something which aroused his interest and it was nothing other than the pattern over his wings.

The new pattern had been forming and as the king looked more closely, it was radiating towards the sides and slowly it took over both the wings...

The king read the pattern and contemplated that it looked like a creating word "S".

But it was a challenge to him as by now he had known all the patterns and the letters associated with them, but what to do now.? What was the meaning of all these words??

While coming back in front of his son, he told him to get back to his humane form and told him to go to the pond to seal it. While kissing his forehead one more time before leaving the room, the king was lost in some of his thoughts.

He was sitting over the dining table and was writing something when the younger son Sammer Azure aka Sammy came and greeted his father playfully saying ...

“Hey, old wolf..... how are you doing ? " to which the king sighed and replied...

" I am doing fine as long as you don't do anything to rage your mother." to which Sammy just shrugged his shoulders.

But looking at the page over which the king was writing something, Sammy became curious and came to his side. He observed all the things clearly and asked ...

" Father, what are doing? Playing some sort of a word guessing game Ha..." and laughed aloud.

" Yes, I m playing a game. Would you mind if you just stay quiet? I am trying to understand the meaning of these words."

" Ooooohhh. ....!!! So, finally …this old wolf had started to like human games. I like it,” said Sammy cackling, even more, this time and putting some grapes in his mouth.

Jasper didn’t reply instead busied himself even more into the words. Noticing that it could be something important, Sammy suggested...

“ Well, I can help you." sitting beside the king.

The king gazed over his son with one eyebrow raised and asked ..." How.??"

" See father, you know that I am the best in arithmetic and guessing, so we can try to look for all the probabilities and possibilities of meanings and the number of words that could be framed by these words."

"Go on " ordered the king, as he felt assuring listening to his Son.

"Look here ... see these are 7 letters in total and if we are talking about the number of meaningful words that can be framed by using these leaving one letter or the other, there are approximately 247-word combinations, but leaving the words like 'as', 'la', 'er' etc., we would be left out with only 233 words. Now tell me one thing, what are the number of letters that we must use?" He was totally like a professional puzzle cracker.

"Amm ... we have to use all of them and combine them into one word." replied the king.

"Well... that's too easy... there are only 4 possibilities of the words formed by using these seven letters."

The king's eyes glittered happily as if he had been able to solve a mystery and asked hurriedly...

“Fast.. tell me about all those possibilities."

Now, this was something interesting. ‘I have to make the most out of this opportunity.’ Thought Sammy inside his head.

He wasn't replying to anything and instead became silent. Watching him sitting silently, the king was getting impatient and said again .." Hurry up Sammy... What are you thinking about ?"

“ Amm ...Old wolf … I mean father …Since I am helping you and it is something important right now, so what would I get in return ..!" he spoke with demand and desire in his eyes tugging his father’s arms.

The king sighed heavily and replied ..." I should have known that you always do something because you want something. Fine. ! What is it ?"

Finding that the father had agreed, Sammy became so happy like a toddler had been given a box full of candies and replied jerking happily gluing his hands together….

“ I want to roam around in the human world for 7 days."

" WHAT…??"

Yelled the king which took Sammy to the conclusion that father had not agreed to his proposal, but since the situation was in his favor, so he took advantage and said...

" Fine, if you don't agree then I won't help you out ."

King "…"

'This ungrateful pup dare to threaten me! But what to do. I must agree to whatever he says now.’

“ Fine... I agree. But you should not create any ruckus there. "

“ I promise father... Ok, so the words that can be framed are ...

CARTELS

CRESTAL

CLARETS. ... and

SCARLET."

With the words that he finished off saying, he hauled up from his seat and took a bread to munch upon and waved his hand to his father ...

" Bye Old wolf. You enjoy your days here while I will be enjoying my time there.

And yes, please handle your wife too.

Love you dad .. "

He shouted while going out of the huge door.

"Do these words even make sense?" The king whispered to himself, after Sammy's departure. He was contemplating things like the most appropriate word out of those four and the gravest situation which was to face his wife after she would come to know about their younger ungrateful brat leaving for the human world to be a playboy again.

~DESTINY LAND~

Choice was laughing out holding her stomach and Destiny was getting amazed over her. She asked her ...

" Why are laughing like a maniac ?"

Choice replied still laughing... " Sister, I love this Sammy. He is too good. I mean … Old Wolf. ….!! Hhihihihihiiiii..."

Destiny ...". you are dumb .."

Choice looked at her face for a moment and stopped giggling, but burst out again cracking up ignoring that destiny just called her dumb.
