Deranged Writer's Afterword

146 Dumb and Dumber (1)

" Adam ?"

Both Nephyr and Nyad looked stunned to see me, but I had no time to explain my circumstances to them right now. I need to bring him out.

A rupture in space became visible as I activated my [Sub-Space], I imagine what I wanted to pull out and put my hand inside the space.

Nyad and Nephyr take a few steps back, confusion still visible on their faces.

Ignoring them, I pull out....--

" Mommy !"

-..Rhys from the sub-space.

I've been conducting experiments using [Sub-Space] for the last five months, I started small by using baby chicks and later used their mother hen.

From my experiments, I've come to understand the skill a lot better.

Living beings can survive in the sub-space, no rather than survival it was more like time stopped for them but they could only stay in the space for a very limited amount of time. After a lot of speculating I've concluded that size matters.

....

The size of the being inside that is, the bigger and more complex the organism, the faster it disintegrated. The mother hen died out far more quickly than its offspring. With all this knowledge in my mind, I used it on Rhys.

From what I've seen, Rhys can survive up to five hours within my sub-space.

I had used the skill on him just before entering the auction house and it seems that I made it in time. This was a little bit of a gamble but I wasn't that worried since I knew that the wolf's village wasn't that far.

There was a reason I brought good ol' Rhys here, but I need to deal with this situation first.

Rhys rubbed his body against mine and I attempted to stand up, only to be stopped by Nephyr.

" Just....what exactly are you doing here ?", Nephyr asked, her eyes were cold and filled with suspicion while Nyad looked conflicted.

Well...this is an interesting turn of events.

I thought Nyad would be the one who would get mad, but it seems like I was wrong.

I'm a little hurt, to be honest, I thought Nephyr liked me...

Chuckling to myself, I give up trying to sit down and make myself comfortable on the floor of the raised platform.

I looked down at the countless wolfpeople who were whispering amongst themselves probably confused as to why I'm still alive.

" Why.....would you buy my sister ?", Nyad questioned me, his eyes burning with fury.

" Well, it's a long story but I suppose we have time....----------------"

I put forth an explanation that I had already prepared beforehand, Unity had issued a mission and I was just doing my part. I saved Neela from imminent death by giving her a potion-

" Then why didn't you just tell us that before...all this happened ?", Nephyr asked still looking suspicious.

I wave at the countless beastpeople down below with a bright smile on my face.

" I've always wanted to visit this place."

Hearing me, the both of them looked stunned.

" Y-you what ?!"

Before the both of them could question me more, a deep voice reached our ears,

" That certainly was a long....story."

A wolfman that was much larger compared to the others came towards me, he slowly climbed the small flight of steps with Neela clinging to his shoulder.

" Is this human telling the truth ?"

Neela nervously nodded her head and gave me a weak smile.

" The h-human saved me.", she managed to whisper out.

' This must be the chief....what was his name again ?'

The wolfman had blue fur covering his body just like the others yet what made him stand out was his extremely large and well-built body. For a chief, he looked quite young.

" I see..."

The wolfman says hearing Neela, he stared at me for some time before-

" Oh, how rude of me! , My name is Augustus Kelmar and I am the current chief of Lupus village."

Oh right, I remember now.

Augustus helped me up and says,

" I must thank you for saving this little one-"

He pats Neela on the head before continuing,

"-- But may I ask why you wanted to visit our little village so much so that you would go to such lengths ?"

I thought for a minute before saying,

" I like wolfs."

" Mwhrr ?", Rhys growled out looking offended.

" I see.....that's understandable.", Augustus says, still smiling ever so brightly.

....

.....

'Clang'

" Hey, you're making a big mistake !", I say trying to reason with these unreasonable canines.

" I'm sorry, Augustus told us that he'll decide what to do with you soon.....you don't have to worry, I'll put in a good word for you.", Nyad says giving me a thumbs up.

I want to smack him, but these bars prevent me from doing so.

That's right, these guys threw Rhys and me inside jail!

Hehe....all according to my plan (not really) but it's going to be alright, things may seem dire but I'm going to be completely fine.

" Why didn't you just ask us ?", Nephyr asked looking curious.

" Ask what ?"

" You know...to take you to the village."

....

" You wouldn't understand.", I say a little smirk playing around my face.

Nephyr smiled and says,

" You're a little dumb...aren't you ?"

....

I ignore her question.
