A Love In Dark Times

-Run, we are under attack!

“Never in history have our barracks been under attack, mainly because they are never in a fixed dimension.

Great master, it looks like we're going to have to evacuate.

That is not an option, we will not let some nomos and fairies, bend us, we already have more weapons, we will force the to leave or they will stay under this earth forever, summon all personnel, including those on missions.

Yes sir, I have already done it and it seems that it is not enough, besides we are also attacked by some creeps, I thought saw the ghost chickens, besides some blessed ones, with all due respect sir, I consider that it would be better to flee tod: to fight again later.

“No, the barracks have never fallen, we must fight to the end, let's destroy them, there is no other way.

The confrontation was intense, the small heads of those little green dwarfs were confused in the grass, those butterflies with women's bodies were very elusive, the exhausted masters repelled them, however, while they destroyed ten, a hundred appeared out of nowhere, with their weapons full of frog poison, in this way it was revealed that the intention w to create a war of attrition, only that a frightening idea occurred to the great master.

-Let's burn some woods, so that they will go away and extinguish them.

And they did, the barracks moved to the top of some forests and razed hectares of trees, burning animals, making these beings retreat to try to control the fire, from the edge the great master stared at the mother mountain and she said to hir “You are a scoundrel, you had to resort to this baseness in order not to lose.

“What do you want’ asked the great master.

“Nothing, 1 only want you to give me to the goddess.

That won't be possible, you will never find her, we have sealed her presence.

“We know that with your trickery you made her invisible to us, but not to the darkness, it's better that you give her to us, she'll be better off with us than with those things.

“You won't convince me and you won't get in the way of my plans any more,” saying this the great master jumped towards her, took out his sword that lit up in a violet fire, she threw vines, stones and trunks at him, without managing to stop his advance, he arrived in front of her, he could see her face of terror and cut her into several pieces, until she was cutting th air, the great master wiped his nose removing the dust from his nose and said: “Don’t play the clown, don't play the clow; said the great master:

-Don't play the clown, I know it's not your real self, that's just a finger puppet, come on show yourself in your true form. At that instant a large hand emerged from the earth trying to crush him and was destroyed by a few slashes of his blades as he spoke:

-Come on, don’t think you'll beat me with these cheap tricks and remember I know where your heart is and I can go and smash it into a thousand pieces any time I want,” a voice in the distance boomed:

Well go on then, do it, what's stopping you?

“You know, you know that last time, the last chosen one made us promise not to mess with you, only that stops me, a promise to someone who is no more,” said the great master jumping towards his quarters, but a hand stopped him grabbing him by the shin, he swung his sword to free himself and he could see the great grey wolf with the star on his forehead, who was with others of that kind.

“What do you want," said the great master as he freed himself, “do you wish to die at my hands?

“No, we only want to negotiate,” said the wolf, “we want the girl to transform us all’ and he transformed into a human. “What's in it for me?

“We won't Kill her, if that's what you mean,” the wolf growled at him, “in exchange we'll give you one of the 7 keys that lea you to the Capes.

“You lie, no key was ever entrusted in this realm,” said the master, pointing his sword at them, burning in a violet flame. -Itis true, only that a being from Luxar, got the wrong dimension and we tried to save him, before the humans took him, but he managed to hide the key in the forest and I found it as a puppy.

I must think about it, I don’t know if 1 believe you, it would be better if you show it to me and we'll make a deal.

“You suppose us idiots, we'll bring it to you, you kill us by keeping the key, there are other ways, look,” said the wolf, letti him see a picture of that relic; “now that we are humans we have access to his things, this is called a photograph or a sel of something.

-It looks authentic,” said the great master, “maybe we can make a deal.

say when and where" said the wolf.

-1'd better kill them and find the key myself,’ said the grandmaster, drawing both swords.

“Wait, great master,’ was a warrior falling from the sky, “please wait.

-What is the matter, Marcus,” questioned the great master.

-1 have been looking for this wolf for a long time.

“Why are you looking for me?” he barked, transforming himself back into the huge grey wolf with the white star on his forehead and standing on his two hind legs.

-I feel that you are my responsibility” explained Marco, “I was not able to kill you, I left you alive, besides I went and handed you over to another pack and made the alpha promise that he would protect you.

-Are you the one who killed my parents?

Yes, I killed their whole pack, they destroyed several villages.

1 will kill you, I swore I would do it every night, you killed my mother when she was breastfeeding me, -these things wolv remember, she remembers the smell of her mother mixed with milk, blood and the smell of that man, she started to bite him and this warrior stopped him with a blow in the belly, knocking the air out of him, telling him with tears.

Please forgive me, it was collateral damage, you should remember the times I saved you, the times I prevented you from being hunted, the traces I erased, you thought you were invisible, but it was me who was hiding you.

-Marco, don't be an idiot, don't cry, it's not worth it, better help me to eliminate them, you half and me the other.

-Don't wait grand master, I think we can come to an agreement, proposed the female known as Paola.

“What kind of deal? -The grand master buried his swords in the ground to pay attention to her.

-sir, we give her the key only in exchange for her agreeing to transform us all, just think about it, I know you may have a way to find that key, although that would wear you down, instead, you let us go, you think about it, you agree to the deal and send her to this man who apparently knows our home, we will return you safe and sound and with the key.

- may think about it, maybe she won't be needed soon enough, I was deciding to get rid of her, in a safe way, maybe we can make this deal too.

She can't be a great master, she is one of us.

You are wrong, Marcus, she is more of that world than we are, her existence is a threat to us, very soon she will finish purifying the sword Darmela and we will be able to get rid of her, of Luisa.
