184 Fainting
Selma Payne’s POV:
Dorothy’s voice gradually weakened, and the mind link was finally completely disconnected.
The three days felt so sad as if they had been slowed down limitlessly. I thought about the progress of the Rocky Mountains every moment, and I wished I could grow wings and fly there immediately.
As expected, Tracy and the werewolf grandmasters could not give constructive suggestions in the past three days. I understood. After all, my example could be considered a ‘new research field’. It seemed difficult to find a second person who had the same experience as me. Studying me was as tricky as studying some difficult-to-treat diseases with only three or five cases.
However, it wasn’t as if I hadn’t made any progress. At the very least, I had given my ability a new name. It no longer had a perfunctory name like ‘Devour.’
This was Master Hayley’s suggestion.
“All the special powers recorded in the ancient books have a unique name.” She gave a few examples. “For example, ‘the Wind Breath’ from the elves, ‘the Holy Light’ from the humans, and ‘the Eye of Insight’ from the prophetic witches. You’ve created a brand new power, which is worth celebrating. Of course, it’s also worth giving it a resounding name.”
What kind of name should I go with?
I was ashamed to say that I had no interest in literature and history so I couldn’t come up with a name with literary talent and historical heritage.
When I wanted to ask my parents for help, they said, “This is a power that belongs to you, Selma. Only you have the right to name it.”
That night, after Aldrich and I finished training, we snuggled up to the grass and looked at the moon. I wasn’t sure why, but the gentle and bright moonlight suddenly inspired me.
“I got it!” I jumped up in excitement.
“What did you get?” Aldrich was confused.
“Name! The name of my new power!”
Since the moon taught me how to use this power, why wouldn’t I honor the moon?
“Let’s call it ‘New Flow’ then!”
The ‘new’ represented the beginning of the new moon, and its inexhaustible power interweaved into a stream as clear and holy as moonlight.
This was the most literary moment of my life. Maybe I had the potential to be a poet!
Everyone was delighted with the name I came up with, and ‘New Flow’ was solemnly recorded in the books of the werewolves.
Seeing that another page had been added to the thick ancient book, I suddenly had a very novel feeling – a brand new me and distant words were put together. I was looking at the ancient people, and the future people would also look at me the same way I looked at the ancient people. What a wonderful time and space intersection!
On the third night, I shared this with Dorothy.
“Congratulations! Our little princess has entered the history books at such a young age!” Dorothy said joyfully, “This is a great feat. Don’t look at it as nothing. It bears the power of a brand-new bloodline. Your descendants will always be proud of your strength.”
Regarding the issue of descendants, I felt a little shy for no reason. What descendant? It was too early to talk about this.
“Early? In my opinion, it won’t take too long.” Dorothy deliberately teased me, “Are you and Sir Aldrich going to wait until middle age like the southern Duke before getting married? Seeing how you two are so attached, I think I will be able to swear allegiance to the newly-born princes and princesses soon after graduation!”
“Hey! Dorothy! What are you talking about?”
I fell into the pillow, my face as hot as a furnace.
“Aldrich and I are not like what you think we are...”
Dorothy would not believe my nonsense. “Come on, girl. Anyone with eyes can see the wonderful atmosphere between you two. If you still want to hide it, then with all due respect, you two will never be able to be actors in your lives.”
Was he hiding it?
In fact, Aldrich and I only officially acknowledged our relationship before the parents of both parties. For the sake of privacy, we still kept it a secret from the public.
However, we were starting to ignore those agreements that kept us at a distance. Not to mention Kara, Tracy, and the other people around us all day. We didn’t even avoid the werewolf grandmasters who came to treat the members and me in the Rocky Mountains.
At some point, we had unconsciously let go of the insignificant worries in our hearts and only took action based on our happiness.
Wasn’t this pretty good? We didn’t have to be careful, and we didn’t have to be on tenterhooks. As long as we walked openly on the road, everyone around us would look at us with teasing and congratulatory gazes.
Although no one made it clear, the promise of ‘hiding our relationship’ had been quietly nullified between us.
I wanted to say something to Dorothy, but this time, no matter what I said, she did not answer.
That was weird. She used to say good night to me every time she cut off the mind link.
Was she so tired that she fell asleep?
Just as I was about to disconnect, a sharp wave came from the mind link.
This soul-penetrating feeling was so strange that I jumped up from the bed like a frightened cat.
“Dorothy? Are you alright?”
I anxiously asked her, but I didn’t get any answer. Instead, the fluctuations became more and more irregular.
This was not caused by pure fatigue. Dorothy was in danger!
Without thinking, I ran to find my parents.
