Chapter 77 - Wolf Protection (7)

"Thank goodness! It's still early!" Nida shouted as her silver dust-made wings flew fast and high. This allows her to follow Randell in his now-berserk werewolf form.

"You cannot catch me! HAHA." Randell's villainous yells were cut off by his loud laughter.

He then throws anything towards Nida, whether it be a car, a cart, a tree, a bin, or almost anything around the road. 

Her dust works hard to catch everything safely and return it to its place. 

She also made sure the civilians wouldn't get hurt and asked for her dust to be sprinkled around them so that passersby would be distracted and not focus on the most bizarre thing they might see first thing in the morning.

"Don't fucking mess around!" Nida shouted angrily. 

She is relieved that it is still early morning and only a few humans can witness the crazy werewolves messing up the city. 

Randell is acting differently, mostly like he has turned insane.

He became evil and didn't care about the humans around him.

She had read his memory and it triggered Randell's other personality, which took control of his body.

Nida is still angry at Randell, even though she knows some of the worst things he did were motivated by his second personality.

She could also not forget the shivering memory she saw where she was involved in something she hardly remembered. Her memory and his memory of that day were different, which made her think that her memories might have been altered even though the werewolves failed to alter her memory.

Nida gritted her teeth once she could feel her power slowly decreasing. She needs to catch him before she feels the fatigue and her power drains.

She bent her back and pushed her wings back, making them even sharper and faster. Her speed finally caught up with Randell, who was jumping and running at full speed with his muscled, furry legs.

She stretched out her arms to surround him with her dust, but Randell was trying his best to retaliate.

"Stop making my life difficult and get caught!" she shouted.

"Haha! Fools only agree to surrender in your arms! "

The new crazy Randell is getting on her nerves.

"It's my fault. It's my fault." She chanted to herself, and a swarm of dust flew out from her body and multiplied, repeatedly scattering around the rosy and purplish morning sky.

It is as if the sky is suddenly filled with stars, even though the sun is already peeking out at the horizon.

"Damn it! Priestess!" Randell shouted as he tried to run faster, but the dust was already scattered around him. It suppressed his movements, and he slammed down to the ground, biting at his own tongue.

"Finally, I got you!" ed n at Randell, who was struggling to get away from her dust.

"Really, I can't believe there are two personalities inside you," she commented as she crouched down and looked at him pitifully.

"Hey, tell me. So, who am I dating now and who was I dating ten years ago? You're confusing me, Randell Lobo. Does any of your personality ever love me?"

Her dust made space for Randell's face to show while everything else was covered in her power.

"Heh," he mockingly smirked at her, "Can't you tell? I thought you had a closer look at my core memory."

"I only saw the records, but your emotions aren't something you can describe by your core. but one thing is for sure. "

She grabbed Randell's hair and pulled it back, making him chin up.

"You both are fucking evil."

Her comment made him crazily laugh, which made her furrow her brows.

"Thank you for the compliment," he said loudly.

Nida then snapped her finger and her dust surrounded him like a cocoon. She then controlled her dust to fly with her back to her apartment, dragging Randell with her.

"Hmm?" she said, freezing above her apartment once she saw someone standing in front of her door.

She squinted her eyes and narrowed her gaze towards the lady waiting for her, trying to recognize her, but she was someone she had never met.

"Salt?"

She suddenly smells salty air, as if she is by the ocean.

"! "

She flinched when the lady raised her head and looked straight at her. She smiled and waved her hand at her, as if flying home was a common occurrence.

She cautiously and slowly approaches her.

"Are you perhaps a goddess?" She asked while Nida was dazed.

The lady's beauty is something out of this world. It seems like glowing light and a warm atmosphere follow her around and everything else comes off shabby.

The lady chuckled elegantly.

"What a compliment, but I'm afraid I'm not a goddess."

Her bluish-curly hair bounces with her delicate movements.

However, her pleasing appearance doesn't make Nida feel good at all.

She lost the power to trust anyone.

She crossed her arms and started to interrogate her.

"Then what are you and why are you here?"

"Ah right, I should introduce myself." She fixed her posture with a bright, elegant smile. She placed her hand on her chest and introduced herself smoothly.

"I am Vina Morley, a sea priestess. Aquatic creatures and fishermen are my subjects. I served the sea gods and goddesses. Sometimes I also serve as a part-time minor god who guards the small bodies of water. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Her introduction is unusually long, but Vina tries her best to tell her the things about the priestess that she was not willing to know.

In her opinion, Nida's naivety and cluelessness about the supernatural world made her prone to danger and could be easily deceived, but like the dark priest, she didn't want to force the poor soul to be like them if she didn't want to.

"It's not nice to meet you. You look different in Randell's memory," she curtly replies.

"Oh? did you forced to look into his memory? Did the other Randell go out?" She acted surprised and worried, but still in an elegant and beautiful way.

"Yes, and you also know what they did to me and yet you're shamelessly talking to me?"

Vina let out a long sigh and held out her hands toward Nida.

"Don't believe Randell's memory. His memory is distorted as well. "

Nida covered her ears with her hands.

"Bullshit! So you're also giving another version? No way! I refuse to hear it anymore! "

"Please hear me out. If you can't trust me, let's go meet the world tree, and he can show you the pure truth."

Nida let go of her ears and was astounded by Vina's powers to talk to her despite her ears being plugged.

"What's with the world tree? Isn't that something a novel or game uses for plot armor?" She said this while backing away.

Vina chuckles and gently shakes her hand, which is still stretched out towards Nida.

"I can take you there, and you may know the truth: the world tree is the watcher of the world. He can show you the truth, but nothing but the truth. "

Nida hesitated for a moment, thinking whether she was being deceived again, but she slowly approached her distance and reached for her hands.

"I will destroy everything if you try to deceive me too." She menacingly gripped the soft, warm hands of Vina.

"Oh my, I will never, don't worry." She said it even though Nida was still doubtful.

"Let's go and you will know."

She took a deep breath before casting her teleportation spell, preparing herself for the side effects of using such a spell on herself.

She feels like drowning whenever she is using it, even though in reality she can breath underwater since her house is in the deepest part of the sea.

However, before Vina could use her teleportation spell, Nida pulled her hands away again.

"Take Randell with you, but don't you dare free him."

Nida shoved Randell, who was stored in a cocoon shape of her silver dust, towards Vina, which Vina awkwardly replied to. "Okay?"

Vina is confused by Nida's actions and is still figuring out how to translate Nida's thought process.

"Tell my dust where the world tree is, and I will follow you behind."

"You can teleport?"

Vina asked because she knew teleportation was the hardest and most dangerous thing to do for a priest and priestess.

In Daniel's case, it will strain his body until he feels very weak and feverish.

In her case, she feels pain from feeling like she is drowning.

While it may seem insignificant to some, a teleportation mishap can result in decapitation or amputation of the body.

"I can. Just tell my dust. " Nida starts to get irritated as Vina slows her down.

"Not to you but your dust? "

"Yes, hurry!"

"Okay?" Vina followed her and whispered the location to Nida's dust, looking at her strange powers with wonder.

"Then go."

"What are you going to do and you're not coming with me now?"

Nida stared into the distance while clenching her fist tightly.

"I'll pick up Daniel."

Note:

Next chapter will have a massive flashback and will focus more on the pack and Randell.

It will covers from Randell's past until present time to explain what Nida mean she was betrayed both by Daniel and Randell.
