Chapter 40

Ethan's POV
Kurt and I are resting from our journey. Now we are at the top of Bessara Hill. The hill that is most feared by other wolf nations. It is said that this place is very haunted and sacred. Many wolves have disappeared on this hill. But it is not known where they went. It's like being told by the term moksha itself. But I don't believe in that.
Although from some I did get news about many wolves that disappeared after traveling here. There are also those who return to a state of madness and lose their minds like they are confused. But the apparitions I see here are normal. There is nothing strange in this place. Like a hilltop in general. Not as scary and terrifying as people's stories.
Hmm, maybe that's just a hoax, and there is no meaning for me to think about. Obviously, I will only travel seriously until I find the Leon Ching Pack area. And can meet Elder Rowan later. That is my biggest mission now, which is to finish this quite tiring and quite long journey.
"Alpha, do you see anything strange here in this place? Some kind of mystical signs that other wolves often talk about?" Kurt asked while looking in several directions as if on guard.
"What? No, I don't see anything bad here at all. This place is just like any other place in general. There's nothing strange and scary in this place. Why? Are you afraid, Kurt? Or maybe you see something that I don't? Come on, tell me!"
"No, I don't see anything strange here. I just wonder why this could happen. It turns out we were able to reach this peak safely without any obstacles. But it's very controversial with the stories that have been circulating in our environment. Even the haunted story of this peak has spread to other countries. But I don't feel the slightest bit scared when I'm here now."
"Thank goodness then, I hope you continue like that. Because our journey is still quite long. Just go down the valley to enter the Leon Ching Pack area. I hope we can be strong enough to get there and safely meet Elder Rowan that I mean."
"Okay Alpha, I hope so too."
"Yes, it has to be like that, so forget all the horror stories you've gotten from other wolves."
"Yes."
We started to get up from our seats and went back to tidying up our belongings. Starting to lift the backpacks containing the belongings we needed during our trip. Starting to walk with full confidence that we will reach our destination. The journey is still safe for the few meters we have passed. But suddenly something bad happened to us.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa...." I spontaneously screamed very loudly.
"Alphaaaaaaaa....." I still heard Kurt's screams calling me in great panic and surprise. I could also still see his facial expression quite clearly. He seemed confused seeing this sudden situation.
A moment later I could no longer see Kurt's figure along with his voice. I could only see the light around me. The powerful coil had sucked my body into it. I could not fight the current and rebel. I could only surrender to being dragged by the large coil of wind with very bright light. I slowly began to let out my tail and my fur began to grow. It seemed that I had now turned into a wolf as usual.
This coil is quite long. I don't know what will happen later. Where will I end up after going through this long journey? My body was spinning around, carried away by the current that was winding. I gave up on this situation and lost hope in my original goal of meeting Elder Rowan. Oh, this is probably what the other wolves meant: that there really was something mystical happening around the peak of Bessara Hill, precisely on the border to the Leon Ching Pack valley. Like there was a magical barrier that was glowing in rainbow colors.
Finally, the coil stopped, and I arrived in a strange place. I don't know where I am. But the appearance of this place is so tough and old-fashioned. I feel like I'm living in ancient times. Is this the time machine that has been talked about by others? Did they disappear here too? I started to lose hope of being able to return to my previous life.
A moment later, I found someone here and some people in the corner there. I tried to approach them even though I was a little hesitant in fact. But I dared myself because I wanted to find the answer to my curiosity. Maybe there is a solution after talking to them. I hope so and I can find a way to get out of here.
"Excuse me, are you a resident here?"
They looked at me very strangely and seemed confused looking at each other.
Could it be that my words were wrong and not understood by them? Do they have a different language than mine? I tried to communicate with signs. They were also still stunned looking at me strangely.
"Hey, who is he? Why is he so strange?"
"I don't know, I'm confused about him too."
"Is he one of the victims who was sucked by the coil too?"
Hearing that I began to get a bright spot.
"Yes, that's right, I was sucked by the coil until I got here. I was sucked by a very large coil when I was on Bessara Hill. About to go to the valley of the hill to be able to get to the Leon Ching Pack area."
They looked at each other again with expressions that were still confused.
"Bessara Hill?"
"Are you referring to Amarta Hill?"
"We don't know Bessara Hill and we don't know about the Leon Ching Pack area either."
Finally, a bright spot began to emerge, and we talked longer. Apparently, there are different names for places in each era. It turns out that those who are here in this place are those who have a lifetime and come from a different era. There are even those who lived thousands of years ago. At first, I didn't expect it and didn't even believe in the impossibility that I had just experienced. But after a lot of talking, it turned out that the time machine was real. At a glance, I began to remember Lucas' story.
"Hey, why are you silent, let's tell me again about your life before you got here!"
"Huh? Sorry, I was remembering something."
"What is that? Does it have anything to do with the incident where you were able to enter here?"
They began to be curious about all the contents of my complete story and began to ask a lot of questions.
