396 ENTANGLED


    “A white wolf,” she said. “You must be new here, since you don’t know about this myth but it is a charm from this vige, the white wolf will keep you away from bad luck.”


    “Bad luck?” Zuri stared at the shape of the liontin. She tilted her head, looking at the liontin’s head which was in the shape of a wolf. “What myth?” she asked curiously. She was still holding onto the ne.


    “There is this myth in this vige, but maybe you don’t want to hear about it. It is a sad one,” the olddy said, as she counted Zuri’s change, after she gave the money to buy the dress.


    “It’s okay, I want to know. I n on living in this ce for a long time, so I think I want to know what kind of myth this beautiful ce has,” Zuri prodded politely.


    This olddy was probably in herte sixties or early seventies, but she still looked sharp and there were traces of her beauty on her wrinkled face. For some odd reason, she reminded Zuri of Anne.


    “I will tell you while doing your hair, what do you think? Your date will love your lookter,” the olddy was so kind as to offer to do that.


    “Oh, thank you,” Zuri said gratefully, as she sat down on the chair that the olddy pulled out for her as she stood behind Zuri to do her hair.


    “Your hair is very soft.” Sheplimented Zuri again and this made her feel so great. “I wish I had a daughter like you, so I can do her hair...”


    From this short encounter alone, Zuri could say that the olddy loved to talk about anything and everything. She was very open, even to a stranger like her.


    .....


    And then after talking about a few trivial things, she started to tell Zuri about the myth of the white wolf.


    “In the past there was a white wolf which was also apanion of a god, a god of destruction...” the olddy started, but then Zuri immediately knew how the story would end.


    She stiffened because she didn’t know how to react to this news, since she didn’t know how to respond to the story that she had heard. Chaos even took her to that moment...


    However, the myth was slightly different from what Zuri learned.


    “The then vige chief asked the devil for help to revive his dead son and in return, the devil asked for a white wolf as sacrifice but the only white wolf the vigers ever knew was the white wolf who always apanied the god of destruction...” The olddy braided her hair carefully and put on a hairpain.


    So, that was what actually happened? Zuri furrowed her brows. That was why the vigers killed the white wolf, not because they wanted to take revenge on Chaos, but the chief of the vige was having a deal with the devil...


    Zuri didn’t need to think so hard to figure out which devil had made that kind of deal, since it was very obvious who was behind it.


    Just like the old saying... the story repeated itself...


    “Therefore, after the catastrophe that killed almost all the people in this vige, we have been using the white wolf as a charm, a symbol of peace, so the god of destruction will not take revenge on us again,” she said. “Do you know where the chief of the vige sacrificed the white wolf?”


    “Where?” Zuri asked the olddy, she was not sure what to feel after hearing this story, or even if this story mattered to her at all, after all, it happened in the past and it wouldn’t affect her in any way or form.


    “If you go out of this vige, there will be a row of trees that surround this vige, but beyond it there will be a vastnd, a meadow.” Zuri bit her lips when she heard this description. “In the middle of the meadow, there was a huge tree. It is an old tree that has lived for hundreds of years. People believe that was the tree that was used by the vige chief as the sacrifice spot. Right beneath it...”


    Zuri clenched her jaw and balled her fists when she heard that, she looked like she was in trouble. A part of her told her not to be bothered by the story, since it happened a long time ago and it had nothing to do with her, but a part of her realized one thing.


    This was the ce that Chaos had taken her to when she was a nymph, in their first encounter, in her first life when she met him, but this ce was also where they were together the second time and also the ce where she met her demise. The ce that Chaos had destroyed out of anger, when he found about the death of hispanion.


    But now, here they were again, in their third encounter, they ran back straight to this ce and felt peaceful in this vige. The same vige, the same ce while it was happening all over again.


    What did it mean? Why did the moon goddess take them to this ce? It didn’t make sense to Zuri how attached Chaos and she were to this ce.


    “Okay, it’s done now,” the olddy said in a bright tone. “Oh, you look so beautiful. The man you are dating will be so proud to have you by his side,” she said cheerfully.


    Zuri then stood up and looked at her reflection in the mirror, but all she could think about was; did Chaos know about this? Was he aware?


    “Thank you, I wille to this ce often,” Zuri said, as she hugged the olddy and gave her a warm smile.


    “You are very wee toe as often as you want,” the olddy said as she stared at Zuri intensely.
