Chapter 122: Chapter 122

Callisto blow his soup slowly before eat it. He like it a lot and has no complaint to eat the same soup for eternally.

That young wolf man look in a good mood and it make Chris who eat beside him feel curious, “Did something good happened?”

A hint of red colour tinted in his cheek when answered, “My father is getting better.”

“That’s good news! Congratulations! You should visit him again this week.” Chris smile widely to that boy.

“Yes, I know.” He ate the last spoon before drink water and look at his empty plate. “If you done, I will wash your plate, Sir.”

“Okay. Thank you.” Chris said when Calisto’s thin hand took that white plate away.

The restaurant’s owner raised his brow as if he remembered something and left the kitchen to his room.

When he came back, he put a brown paper bag on the table, “Cal, give it to your father, tell him I said hello. Sorry for unable give a better gift.”

Callisto take a peek on the bag and his hand trembled slightly found a hand knitting blue oversized sweater which Chris works hard into, “S-sir?”

“Well, I know it’s not as good as you did.”

“That’s not what I meant. You are knitting for a whole month and how could you give it so easily?”

“Your father need it more than me. Beside, it’s not an ordinary yarn. The good thing happened after we got that magic yarn! Even Desmond’s heart getting warmer lately. I’m sure this is because the gift from the protector. He even blessed our soup too, right? That’s why, I hope the protector of this Frozen Island give a bless to your father, too.”

Calisto’s eyes moisten and found no words to say to express his gratitude. Chris pat his shoulder before left him all alone in the kitchen.

The young wolf man tighten his grip on that sweater and tried his best to held his cry. He was come to this place in order to save the citizen and his family, too.

But, until now, he was unable to save anybody.

It’s all thanks to Max and Cecilia who changing this gloomy town. Starting with the yarn, people start to believe that the protector is finally took care of them. Then the soup was blessed by a bit of his father’s power.

Raised their faith up enough until they rebuild the shrine and up until now, every body starting to put some food on that place as an offering. Their faith getting stronger until the protector finally wakes up from his slumber, almost regained all the power.

Now, Callisto can only sighed before folded that sweater and put it on the paper bag. All he wants is to be useful.

That’s why, when the night is getting darker and Chris already sleep, he sneaked out from his room and walking to his home that hidden in the deep forest.

Foxter was the one who greet him, “Young Master! What a perfect timing!”

“What happened? Did Father was looking for me?”

He nodded, “Yes, please this way.”

Callisto let out a heavy sigh when follow him behind. His mind started to thinking what kind of reason why his father asked to meet him.

His trail of mind stopped when he arrived at the door of his father’s room.

The fox butler knocked the door and said, “My Lord, Young Master is here.”

“Let him in.” Said a firm voice from behind the door.

The young wolf man opened the door and saw that his father is sitting on his desk beside the fire-place. he look so much younger and healthier than he can remember.

Wearing his dark pajama, Alpha was sitting calmly. Blue eyes, black hair, tanned skin with muscular built body made him look like a handsome man in his thirty rather than an immortal creäture that can live for hundred thousand years.

“Good evening, Father. You look better.”

Alpha smiled, “You too.”

“Ah, this is for you. From the owner of my workplace.” He said while put the bag on his empty desk.

Alpa’s eyes softened when he take the sweater. Three second later it was disappeared into sparkling dusk that enveloped his body. For a creäture like them, offering means so much for their longevity. “Lately, a lot of good things happened.”

“Yes, Father. It’s all thank to that young couple who make this possible.”

He noticed something in his son’s face, “What happened?”

“Nothing. I just feel… ashamed.” He said while looking at his shoes. Has no courage to see his father.

But, Alpha just smiled warmly to him. “You already doing your best, Callisto. But, perhaps this is not your time to shine and it’s okay. You still have a longer time to live on. Then, as a gift, I can grant you one wish.”

“Grant a… wish?”

“Think carefully since it probably can change your life.”

Callisto knitted his brow and start thinking what he really wants. Either his magic or physical power are weak. But, still, he want to be useful for everyone. In his mind, he has an idea. A crazy one, “Father, I want to set an adventure.”

“Adventure?”

“Yes. I want to explored everything in this world and enhance my knowledge to help people who need me.”

Alpha smiled again. Suddenly he feel a bit lonely, “I see. Do as your wish, Callisto. You are free to go.”

The young wolf man grinned at his father. There is no need to hug or saying goodbye. Because no matter where he go, someday, Callisto has to come back to this frozen land to become the protector like Alpha.

He bowed a bit deeply to the protector of this island, “The next time we met, I will be a cool man, Father. Until then, please take care.”
