"Neesa why are the branches on your back getting longer?"
"it's not just any papa branch, it's my wing"
"wings? you have wings?" ask Dirga in disbelief.
"emm, when my wings grow later I will look more beautiful" he said girang.
"what species are you, Neesa? you're not an ordinary creature, are you?"
"i'll tell you everything later, who I am and where I'm from"
"why not now?"
"if now I still can't prove who I am, so later if it's for sure"
"hmm yes already"
Dirga continued to walk aimlessly, the boy only reasoned to be looking for his grandfather's house, his real purpose was to wander to increase his strength.
Unlike her brother who was able to increase her strength while being nurtured by her teacher, Dirga realized her ability did not develop much, only the only thunderbolt blow she had gotten during her 7 years of life in the sect.
The boy decides to wander to develop his abilities, thinking maybe because he is a werewolf he will likely grow even more while in the wild.
"krakk"
"who's there?" ask Dirga when he realizes there are others around him.
His hand swiftly grasped the sword that was on his back, the boy prepared if anything bad came his way later.
"don't attack me"
A girl who looked her age came out from behind a tree, her thin body and sunken eyes explained that her condition was not okay.
"what are you doing in the woods like this? you don't look like a swordsman?"
"i-I am just an ordinary villager" he said bowed.
His voice sounded vibrating, obviously the girl was scared of him, because honestly Dirga's stature was not at all suitable at the mention of a 13-year-old teenager, his tall body with sharp eyes make him look mature.
Not to mention his thick eyebrows and stout posture, anyone would think that the child was a young man, not a teenager.
"why are you here? you alone?"
"i ran away from home and got lost"
"liy"
"DEGS"
The girl was shocked not to play, how could the young man in front of her immediately know that he was lying, even though the girl only hoped to leave the situation now.
"bruck"
"excuse me sir, please forgive me, I did not mean to lie to you but please let me go" said the girl prostrating in front of him.
"heyy what are you doing? do I look like a criminal? I'm just asking and if you're lying is up, and remember one thing! I didn't do anything why are you asking me to let you go?" cerocos Dirga long.
"hhh a-are you not the swordsman who was sent by Mr Andara?" ask the girl confused.
"sir Andara? who'swhat? I don't know"
"hah" the girl gawked.
More precisely the girl felt embarrassed and relieved, apparently she misunderstood Dirga, she thought Dirga was her master's man to catch her.
Dirga who felt that the girl was not dangerous immediately sauntered away, she stepped away because she felt that there was no business with her.
"wait sir!"
"aisshh what else? I told you I don't know Andara Andara you mentioned that" said Dirga Ketus.
"mom-not that, may I know where you're headed?"
"destination? I don't know if I'm just following this leg"
"may I follow you?" tanyanya doubt.
Dirga just kept silent as he continued to stare at the girl in front of him, the boy did not understand at all what was on the girl's mind in front of him, though the girl had just begged to be released but suddenly asked to come with her.
"no-no" he asked again.
"not that I just don't understand, why do you want to follow me?"
"i'm actually a runaway slave, I-I just want to go home" he replied lowered his head.
"slave?"
"i know I'm disgusting, but-but let me follow you at least until a city, I promise I won't burden you" he said.
"ehh disgusting? what you're talking about, it's up to you" Dirga said.
Dirga continued walking leisurely, as she whistled to relieve her satiety as Neesa fell asleep on her shoulder, the girl still continued to follow her some distance away.
Dirga sat on a tree trunk while enjoying the grilled deer in her hand, Neesa was also seen enjoying her dinner by continuing to wiggle her tail.
"heyy, aren't you hungry?" exclamation Dirga.
But there was no answer, but the girl was clearly behind the tree behind him, lazily the boy stood up and approached her.
"heyy woke up" said Dirga patting her on the shoulder.
"kyaa pardon .. geez sir" he exclaimed with his eyes closed.
Dirga who felt he did nothing immediately jumped in shock because the girl suddenly shouted, Neesa who was cool eating immediately ran to him.
The girl's eyes opened slowly, she scanned the surroundings and suddenly her gaze was fixed on Dirga who was in front of her but was more than 10 meters away.
"are you having nightmares?" ask Dirga make sure.
"a-ah i-it's.."
"are you hungry?"
"hmm?"
"it ate it" pointed Dirga at the grilled meat he had brought.
"thank you"
Without further ado the girl immediately ate voraciously, such a sight was the first time she saw it and of course it made Dirga astonished.
But not to bother Dirga chose to go back to the front of the campfire and lay down, and Neesa immediately positioned herself on Dirga's chest.
"do you always have to sleep there?"
"i love hearing papa's heartbeat" he replied innocently.
"bizarre kid"
"whom are you talking to?" the girl asked arrived.
"who isn't it, are you done eating?"
"yeah, thanks to you I got a good night's sleep"
"don't you feel cold in there, come here if you want to sleep, at least this fire won't make you cold"
"w-what can?"
"hmmm" Dirga replied instantly closing her eyes.
Just a few seconds after the child had fallen asleep soundly, his full stomach delivered him to dreamland immediately.
Slowly the girl who followed him approached the campfire, it seemed that he had been wanting to get closer but was afraid to reveal it.
"young master is very good, if master Andara is not that bad I will definitely not run away" he said.
The next morning Dirga woke up after the bonfire died, her eyes slowly opening and looking at the clear sky, her body wriggling so that her bones were stretched.
"hh Neesa! Where are you neesa?" dirga exclaimed when he realized his red lizard was not around.
"who are you looking for, sir?"
"it's a lizard, my red lizard doesn't exist" Dirga replied as she continued to wander.
"uhh what does this beast master mean?" tanyakanya.
"lhooo why is it there?" dirga asked when he saw Neesa on the girl's lap.
"the night when you fell asleep he crept here, but because I saw you comfortable with him so I let him go" he replied.
"oo so, Neesa! oy Neesaaa"
"why papa?"
"get here quickly"
Immediately the lizard crept towards Dirga, he climbed onto the shoulder and rubbed his head against Dirga's cheek.
"basic brat, I think you're missing" said Dirga, sounding anxious.
"hehee I saw the guy was agitated, so I approached him papa, I'm not going anywhere"
"wahh do you know the language of animals? the lizard immediately came as the master called out to him" said the girl in awe.
"uhh that.."
"father only you can hear my voice"
"hahaa probably because this lizard is smart so he immediately came as I called" Dirga laughed awkwardly.
"father I'm not a lizard" Neesa said.
