Chapter 28
SIDONNIE'S POV
Clutching the herb basket I use whenever I want to go pick herbs, I stride
purposefully toward the looming Mountain of Canth, relying on Athena's map
which she gave as a guide to navigate every step. The journey unfolded as I
boarded a bus, reaching a specific point which marks the transition from wheels
to legs the threshold of the wooded expanse that leads to the heart of the
mountain just as the map describes.
At first, my legs felt numb and heavy as a result of a long time of sitting in the bus
but after a while, it began to balance and my steps began to
get steady. With another look at
the map, I headed north of the direction I was.
Alone on the pa
path to the Mountain of Canth, I prayed and hoped that everything went well all
through. It didn’t take quite long into the journey when an eerie sensation crept
over me — an unshakable feeling of someone's presence behind me, elusive and
unsettling. I looked behind me to see if it was what I thought but I didn’t see
anyone. I tried a couple of times but I couldn't see anyone, yet, the feeling of
someone tailing behind me didn’t leave.
Fear gripped me initially, prompting attempts to validate this haunting sensation. I
veered off course, following detours outlined on the map that led forward in my
journey; yet the mysterious presence persisted, cleverly concealed by those
trailing me. Anxiety set in as I was left with the disquieting notion that unseen
eyes were watching my every move, hidden in the shadows of the journey.
Before my thoughts went too deep, I remembered Athena's words of comfort
before she sent me out here which was that the goddess shall watch over my
every move. I knew she always looked out for me and might have sent them to
accompany me in case anything happened.
Something in me told me not to bother and focus on getting the task done and
head back. I continued my journey and after about an hour of trekking, I finally
got to where I was headed, I got to the flower and herb garden just a few feet
away from the Mountain of Canth. From where I stood, I could see the mountain
but since that wasn't where I was headed, I ignored it, though a bit curious about
what was up there.
I began searching for the White Dasier following Athena's description, checking
every leaf and flower that looked just like her description.
Frantically searching yielded no tangible presence. Every flower and leaves I
picked seemed to look alike as I picked them but none of it had the alluring
fragrance Athena

mentioned. Definitely, that was a sign that I picked the wrong one.
Overwhelmed, I opted to pause, taking a moment to rest while my eyes scanned
the surroundings for the White Dasier. Fueled by determination, I tapped into my
wolf powers, calling upon my heightened senses to find the flowers.
Just as expected, it worked quite well. I was able to find it in batches at a
distance from where I sat down to rest.
“I finally found you.” I grinned with happiness from ear to ear as I stood up
hurriedly to go pick a couple of them up. I removed the white handkerchief I
carefully hid in my clothes, wrapping it around my nose before I bent to pull it out
from the ground.
My hand reached out to grasp it, a sense of relief washing over me. However,
before I could accomplish my mission, something distracted me. A sudden rustle
of leaves. attracted my attention not far from where I stood. I froze immediately
and I saw a group of arm men, armed and ominous, emerging from the shadows.
I studied their appearance, trying to figure out who they were, but I couldn't. All I
could tell was that they were the beings who have been trailing me since I
embarked on my journey.
“Who are you guys?” I asked in panic.
“Well, well. Looks like our little wanderer found what she shouldn't have.” One of
them spoke in a masked and unclear voice. I tensed, realizing the gravity of the
situation. The masked men encircled me, and right then, I knew I had gotten
myself into some sort of trouble or should I say that trouble decided to follow me?
Moving cautiously in the small circle, I studied them more. They were about six in
number. They had weapons with them, ranging from wooden guns, thorny leather
ropes, thorny bats and even wolfshane.
“Who are you guys?!'Why did you follow me?! What have I done to you?!” I yelled
at them with obvious fear reeking out of me. I was all alone in the dark with no
power to fight six men at a time.
“Seems like you've really got some nerves. Well, it won't be bad to tell you who
wants you dead before you die. Since you really want to know, we were sent
here to kill you by Alpha Raina. She wants you dead and her wish is our
command.” One of them. explained and immediately, they all launched an attack
at me.
In a desperate bid to escape, I swiftly dodged the weapons severally but the

“Who is there?” I stood up on my feet, throwing my question into space while
looking around for the possible sight of anybody.
Hey, you need to take it easy, love. You don’t want to get infected.”
That voice, so familiar and dreadful. It was no other than Alpha Carlyle.
