C6 Deep Intention

Apparantly, the old woman harbored deep mysterious intention. Her decisive eye flickered, flactuation of mysterious light shone and felt coming from inside her as she glance to the distance. Mysteriously, her gaze directly landed to the woman trapped in the wood, and a smile broke decisively as she said with a bang.

“Alpha,” she sneered secretly after learned what the Alpha thought about her. It's not much of her concerned if that Alpha just thought of her as something heartless to the extreme. What she cannot let go about was the possibility that the Alpha may discover something that may affect the flow of her long awaited scheme. “You come here thinking I told you a lie, isn't it inappropriate in your part? Don't you think I'm not aware on what you have done on a Curse Mountain?”

For unknown reason, Raj taken aback by the coldness of the tone and from the way the old woman's eyes shone strange light, he has a very strange primonition on regards to what this old woman spoken, as if with undestructable confidence.

“You...” He panted for the first time ever, thing that he never should have felt and done.

In this moment, something wasn't right, and much to his confussion, he couldn't connect what he once thought the old woman have done a countless century that passed.

There was a message on the tone of her words, as if the directly humiliate the generation of Alpha that never have known what her intention really was and her relation to everything that happened.

And that lost him innitiative to pinned more the issue regarding the situation of that bloody night and that day on the Curse Mountain; both the reason he left and what almost omenous to happened after which almost a repitition of a bloody night.

As the Alpha followed the direction of the old woman's gaze, with intention of knowing what she really was thought of the whole situation and to her words just now, he saw a familiar figure that panted him even more. Even his eyes widen as he gasp in disbelieving. “That's...” Looking back to the old woman, he exclaimed with certainty, “You...set up all of this to happened! How are you related to that Outsider?!”

“Uhuh?” the old woman chuckled as she look back at him, amused, as if she just discovered by the very person that merely a part of her grand scheme. But then again, can she really intentionally let herself be disvcover?

Was the Alpha was fool enough to buy the gall of this old woman, whose shame knows no limit?

Meanwhile, Mariya felt a heavy sense poured onto her, as if a powerful gaze just saw through her whole existence. It was coming from a distance, and for some reason, she find herself gasped and asking for breath to almost choke on realization. “What the hell!” When she find the opportunity to breathe again, she scanned around with cautious, only to see the frustrating woods. Obviously, she's lost.

“What the hell was this place was all about?!”

Even she wanted to find the reason of a strange thing she felt just now, she just couldn't. She has her prime situation as of this moment, and that was to find a way out and do what she planned all this time. She haven't even fully march her way through the ninety-nine percent of the Village, so how comes she feel like to giving up and let despair consume her?

“N-no...” tears poured out from her eyes. How comes seeking justice was hard as shits? Can the unfairness of the world beyond and to this unknown have some sort of Alliance?

After getting entangled by some mysterious passerby that she find familiar with but be cautious at the same time, Mariya gotten herself even in a worse situation since then. Shockingly, she have been panted for the rest of the time while facing those mysterious entity. Now that she thought about it, there's something to them that really was strange.

“I'm certain,” she thought as she let the despair vanish from her system. “They seen my arrival that day and one of them just save me from being a prey. I'm perfectly sure that it was them!” Truth to be told, Mariya couldn't be certain than anyone else. The terrifying monster leave her feeling useless that day, weak and hopeless, so how can she forget who to be grateful about?

That very day when the cold wind blows, she find herself feeling safe and turn the nightmare of almost on the verge of being a prey of an enormous monster's vicious mouth.

However, her gratefulness of paying him through her assistance that she learned through the soul's reader being good samaritan, only to realized that the very man was, in fact, don't need some sort of assistance.

Moreover, Mariya find strange the way one of the two, who look at her earlier, as if her very existence in this place is a very wrong and maddened phemomenon. That's makes her cautious even more, on how one of the presence who she thought the source of her being safe, was in fact, harbored some sort of hatred on her very existence.

If not for the fact that she was adept on scheming and knows who has the upperhand and who's whom that followed of the both, she couldn't have find strength and certainty to told one of the two that he was familiar. Obviously, she told Hez about those words, which in turns make the whole situation changed dramatically.

At least, that what Mariya thought of the silence that had follow. Let the one who harbored enmity to her to be seen as not doing a proper caution to everytime.

And if one thought that her, just offering the Alpha her assistance, was only for the purpose of paying gratefulness, one was mistaken. Mariya have been sensing strange about him, longing was one thing and coudn't be important at tha time to conser, but the other thing was a terrifying aura that strangely surpass those to the aura the monster on that Curse Mountain.

As Mariya drawn to her thought, the very woods that surrounded her, as if trapping her for eternity, was suddenly shaken. For some unknown reason, everything on the surrounding beginning to what appeared to be shattered.

At first, cracked appeared, and a moment later, that very cracked beginning to spread with a speed that surpass the speed of light.

In just a few breathe of time that passed, the surround that make up the woods boder was totally crash out on existence. Light flashed and suddenly, a tremor ranned through Mariya.

The Woods just now was nothing but a blade shine with enchanted, and before it clang to the ground it turned to ash, which then blown by the coolest cry of wind. This turned out that everything that was surrounded Mariya earlier and stopped her from finding the way out of the Woods was, in fact, an invisible wall made of glasses!

“This...” her eyes widen on disbelief.

Strangely, Mariya find herself after the cease of the light surround the area, and the ashes that blown away. She find that she was facing the nearby burstling Market!

While the woods that desbelieving in her part is nowhere to be found, and however scanned she make, nothing was remained, not even the ashes. Her eye's flickered profound light when realization consume her. “Illusion! All of what I encountered are not real...?”
