CARLYLE’S POV
The Talican was like an ancient tree that can be found in the Canthrastra region only. It was said to be the root of their emergence but no one knows how true the story was except themselves. However, every supernatural being at that time had come together to put them behind this world forever. They didn’t give other people the chance to find out more about their being.
The elderly supernaturals back then had sealed them in Aridah, a very dry space, far away from every other being. Everything they were going to do would be within that space only without interrupting or interacting with anyone. A region that was always referred to as; ‘Aridah, a space between the living dead.”
After sealing them, the elders went ahead to burn down the Talican completely with the aid of the three supernatural elements that comprises the Canthrastras; the werewolf, vampiras, and the sirens. And it was nowhere in existence since then. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Where and how did you get this?” It left this world a while back. “Alpha Rex was still full of surprise.
“Yes, it did. And now, it’s back. That piece was found at the spot where the last sign was drawn. Seems like it fell off the person that drew it or it could be that it was left there on purpose. Whichever way, it’s obvious that the Canthrastras are back and they are making sure they do everything in their power to leave the seal. They want to leave. Aridah and you know what that means to all of us.” I explained. Dating to decades back, the Canthrastras had been an irresistible force to us and they seemed so powerful and undefeatable.
“If they should come back, it means we’re back to square one. And when they are back, we won’t be able to avoid what the elders were trying to avoid back then even if we aren’t that sure of what it is exactly”
“You’re right since you know what I’m here for, let’s proceed.”
“How can I help you and what part am I to play in it?” Alpha Rex asked. Finally! Exactly what I was expecting from him but I knew right away that he wasn’t going to ask right away as he has always been wary of me due to the struggles and rivalry between us.
“Wait, but how did you know that this piece of wood is a piece of the Talican?” His brows furrowed as he stared at me with questioning eyes.
“You can check it out yourself, Alpha Rex. We all know there’s a legend about it. The legend says whenever ivis burnt together with the power of a witch, the Talican is going to emit a bluish– greenish flame. I tested for it and I brought out just that.”
Alpha Rex took a look at the being beside him, his adviser to be precise, who nodded at my words. It was like he was making a sort of confirmation about what I said which made me know he wasn’t aware about the legend before and didn’t want me to know about his ignorance on the Talican topic.
“So, I’m telling you about this because I might need your help if things should go way I foresee.”

“In what way, Alpha Carlyle? Can you please stop speaking in parables and go straight to the point like you always do?”
“I’m here to talk about the Five Element Grazer. I announced my real purpose for being there. The moment I mentioned it, Alpha Rex’s countenance changed. completely.
“What… what do you mean by the Five Element Grazer? I thought it had been in Aridah. for a long time since the seal of Aridah was activated. Alpha Rex questioned, his voice tinged with both surprise and a hint of concern.
Yes, he was right. That was the news that has been circulated among the supernatural world, but it wasn’t true.
“Really, are you saying it’s not here right now?” I inquired, seeking confirmation. Alpha Rex, however, continued to feign ignorance, responding negatively. His expression, a dreadful mask of composure guarding the secrets that laid beneath the surface, leaving an air of uncertainty hanging between us.
“Like I said, it isn’t.” He affirmed, but it was obviously a lie.
“If you say that, how would you describe The shining light that emanates from the Sert Underground of your pack?”
The moment I mentioned this, Alpha Rex’s face turned white with shock. He never expected I was going to speak about it as he never had an idea that I knew.
“What are you talking about, Alpha Carlyle? What light are you talking about? I mean… what…” He faltered in his speech, to my amusement.
“Your reaction says it’s all, Alpha Rex. It’s so clear that you know exactly what I’m talking about and there’s no need to pretend about it.”
Rex’s eyes widened in realization, a shockwave of astonishment rippled across his face. The carefully guarded secret of his pack had just been unveiled in an unexpected moment, leaving him
momentarily paralyzed.
The mask of confidence he wore shattered, replaced by a raw vulnerability as the weight of the revelation sank in. The situation bore down on him, and an unspoken fear
flickered in his eyes, betraying the magnitude of the shock.
“But since you said it’s not in this pack, then I think I was wrong and you have no idea but what’s going on in your own pack.
Alpha Rex was silenced by me for a while after I made my last statement while grinning inwardly and staring at him mastering every expression that displayed across the face. It’s been a while since I scored one with him and doing that at tha
moment was worth it and made me feel great.
“You’re not saying anything, Alpha Rex?” I asked with a bit of a mock tone.
“Okay, you don’t need to be so threatening. Alpha Carlyle. After all, we are both leaders. who want the best for our respective packs.”
“Okay, what do you want in that case?”
“You have my word. I’ll get back to you.”
“When?”
“Soon, Alpha Carlyle. You’ll hear from me soon.”
“I expect some positive response from you. I’ll take my leave now.”
Once again, I had asserted my dominance!
