A Love In Dark Times

“The snake that eats its head is the symbol of a cycle, but how do you know if it's eaten and finished, I bet it gets halfway through and can't swallow or live anymore.

-0ld Richard, I don't know where you're coming from with that.

-it's that Mike, you already left the willfulness to go get your back broken by the mobster's bodyguards, I'd say you're doil 200d, only I know she's waiting for you, but wait till you hear the denouement of this story and these bottles of liquor or our lights run out, as I recall the following events occurred:

In a new neighborhood was trasteado that town, far from that sacred forest and now near the big city, in a sloping terrair with an icy climate that seemed to sadden its inhabitants, until they replaced it with the warmth of home and custom, al had affordable the comforts offered by the city, the curtain of the future opened for them, of progress, where they could start again, without a shameful past, with only the sight of a promising future, the great master again gave permission to Luisa, to help her siblings and stepparents to move to their new home, a beautiful two-storey house, with a room for eacl one, plus a terrace to hang clothes and suddenly have a dog, to her surprise it was completely painted and plastered, it was the house she always dreamed of with her mother, unfortunately neither of them would live in it, Luisa would only come to visit from time to time, “at least in this neighborhood they would be away from the monsters” thought Luisa, not knowing that that afternoon she would prove the opposite.

Several men arrived in the neighbourhood on motorbikes, with guns in their hands, dressed in street clothes, they had g chains around their necks, as well as crosses and Virgin statues on their arms and feet, announcing that each inhabitant would have to leave the place walking or with their feet first, it would be up to each one to decide, a neighbour Don Pascual confronted them telling them that he wasn't afraid of them, that he would call the police, that he was a man from the countryside who had witnessed many things that would make the bravest of them go crazy, then the men did not answer him anything, they only fired their rifles and drove their motorbikes over him, although the police arrived, but hours after they left with their tails between their legs.

Luis grabbed Luisa and stopped her from throwing herself at the criminals:

“It's not our problem, we shouldn't interfere in human affairs.

She struggled with him, trying to free herself, replying, “Are you made of stone?

“We can't let our people be terrorised, we must fight for the good no matter against whom, that implies that if the great master or the chosen one were to become evil we would have to fight against them.

Those reasoning provoked Luis to let her go, she ran towards those men who started to say things like: “Oh, the girl is goi to kill us: -huy la nifia va a nos va a dar unos besitos, viene un domicilio de violacion, -llege la diversion, -y otras canalladas.

Luisa gave a flying kick to the one who was closest, and hit her co-pilot spinning, hitting him with the other foot, throwin; them away from her motorbike, her sword “Mery” attended her call by landing on her hand, not missing the fool who commented:

“that little girl thinks it's Halloween or something; with that knife twice her size, must be she likes it big,

These mockeries lasted until they saw how she moved that sword like a fan, she looked like a juggler, with a slash she broke a motorbike with the two occupants, the impression caused the rest of the evildoers to empty their weapons again her, she dodged the bullets while decapitating others.

-Luisa looked back and saw Luis shrugging his shoulders, this was taken advantage of by the rest of the thugs to flee, the whole town came out shouting in unison: “burn the witch,” instead of “viva” for their heroine.

They threw stones and rubbish at her, Luis ran to her aid lifting her up and taking her away, so much so that they did not see when the police arrived to witness the crime of the year, according to them and to listen incredulously to the multipls testimonies that a witch was responsible, Luis finished running, arriving at a beautiful shopping centre next to a park wit the same name, with many lights that illuminated Luisa’s face, where tears could be seen washing her face.

-Don't cry my Luisa, it's all over," said Luis hugging her trying to console her, “don't worry, sometimes I think we are on th wrong side.

-Don't say that Luis, it will always be the right place,” she sobbed, while the lights went out and the people around them remained motionless, even the birds that flew nearby remained as if in a photograph and a voice boomed:

-And how do you know if what you believe to be right is right, if after all it is something that was instilled in you, how do you know if your masters are inquisitors, how can you know which death is right and which is wrong, i after all death is death, if being different from others, having ugliness on your face according to imposed standards of beauty, that alone i reason enough to condemn a being to death, tell me? -And out of the darkness appeared that being that seemed to walk slowly, but was approaching fast, with a beautiful human face, although with a bull's horns, he seemed to be wrapped in cloak, only that in a few moments before being in front of them, he opened it showing two huge black wings and a fake smile.

-1 consider that because one feels that he is well," replied Luisa rejoining the fight.

Wait guys, 'm not here to fight, I hope so, let me introduce myself, they call me Lucifer, although that's not my real name that's the one they know me by now.

“We won't let you harm us,” said Luis in a fighting pose.

-1 only came to propose a deal, that you can use, I came as a friend, I assure you that I wouldn't serve you otherwise. say what you want and go away,” Luis shouted rudely.

-boy with you, I want nothing for the moment, it is with her, although I have a proposal, in case your protectors want to g rid of you, invoke my name three times and turn your feet clicking your heels, as in the wizard of Oz, I assure you that yor will be my Doroti and I will take you safely away from Kansas.

That would be unworthy,” said Luis and rushed at him with a fist covered in lightning, that the being received it without moving and that did not even faze him, on the other hand, Luis’ arm was broken, this being only sighed creating a hurricane that sent him against the door of a shop, Luisa intervened threatening him with her sword Mery.

I reiterate that this is not necessary, I only came personally to give you an offer, just keep it to yourselves, I hope you do have to use it and listen well to this, your great master is not far from me, he is not what you idealise, he is more egotistical, like everyone who thinks only of themselves, he is like what they call love, it is nothing but a sensation that something or someone gives to the ego, that is, you don't love someone for what that person is, you love them for what they give you, even if it is only to satisfy your taste or pride, that's why you want to have and possess them, that they are only for you and that's where jealousy comes from, because of the fear that what you want to possess will leave and in most cases this evil provokes what you fear, well I won't take any more time, I'll leave you, we'll see each other later one way or another.
