A Love In Dark Times

In the headquarters of the league of light, they were looking for Luisa even under the stones, the great master decided te interrogate Luis:

“Where is Luisa, she left the task I entrusted to her half done.

-1 don't know great master, she said goodbye to me, 1 was with Angie in a special training.

“You must know what she did, we still need her.

-1 swear I don't know, let me go and look for her in the new neighbourhood where the brothers are, she could be there. We already sent someone to that place and they didn't find her either.

Francisco came in and spoke:

Great master, excuse my tardiness, what's going on?

-Luisa disappeared without finishing the conversion of the sword Darmela.

“itis possible that something kidnapped her or that she ran away, it is possible that she found out about his true intentions.

“What intentions," asked Luis, believing it had to do with some kind of s****I scheme.

That doesn't concern you Luis, you can't question your masters, go away,” the great master gestured to him, pointing tot door, he had no choice but to leave, bowing his head and guided by jealousy.

-Francisco, you have something to do with this,” confronted the great master, unsheathing his swords.

-sir, you are wrong, just as you have been wrong of late.

-50, will you defy me again, will you continue to plot against me?

1 inform you that I already control all the personnel in the barracks, 1 don't need to challenge you or plot anything, everything is already done, I will remove you from your post or whatever it is called, now you choose between rebelling o obeying.

Poor Francisco, the traitor and naive, you suppose you can fight me.

1 know that if we fight one on one, I don't stand a chance, but I don't have that need, out there are all the masters waitin for me to take over, I can come out as your leader or as a corpse, you will choose, crown me or kill me and make me a martyr, you will give me the reason that you lost the competition to lead us, come on try, either way I win.

“Maybe you're right, although there's one thing you don't remember, in Las Capas were kept all the weapons used in the war against evil incarnate, there's Celeste’s sickle, that weapon has the power to bring the dead back to life, think about i if you stop the journey, the collection of the keys, you deprive yourself of seeing it again.

-Grand master, do you mean that it is possible for Luisa’s mother to come back to life?

-1 don't know the reason why you don't remember if you were there, of course, time has passed and you became absorbe in what you suppose to be misfortunes, you became absorbed in what you consider to be true, besides, you broke your honour and principles for absurd ideas and the worst thing is that, like a virus, you spread it to others.

Great master, I cannot go on living to see the decay of our legacies.

“You complicate yourself with nonsense, not even what is written in marble is saved from being erased by time, in that wi our existence is ephemeral, one day neither the trace nor the uncertainty of us will remain, that doesn't have to be a concern either, don't be afraid of the past that you can't change nor of the future that you can't speed up and much less what you leave behind when you are gone, that won't be for you. Think about it Francisco, what are you going to do?

-Itis already decided, although it is true that many of my followers joined my cause because they believed that the expedition to Las Capas is an absurd suicide and that we have to make peace pacts with our enemies, when I am in powe will gradually convince them to do the opposite, without them feeling betrayed, for the moment my offer still stands, surrender or kill me.

-If you want to command, do it, I don't go out of my way for that, I did it because I was the most capable and powerful, gc ahead and call yourself supreme emperor plenipotentiary or whatever you want, what you must remember is that you wi need me to get to Las Capas, you must take me, whether as a subordinate or a prisoner, Another thing is that we need all the help we can get, you have to continue producing weapons in the mountain without arousing suspicion, we have to fin Luisa so that she can finish purifying the Sword of Dammela, that weapon has the power to open portals between any dimension.

-Grand Master, that's a problem, I confess that I had a deal with Mother Mount Gaya, I gave her Luisa and now I got a message that the vampires attacked her, I went to Eden and I found a field full of little pieces of nomos, I found Gaya disoriented, she doesn't know well what happened, she remembers that she lost, attacked by thousands of vampires, although on the ground I found a smell of sulphur, and a lot of ash, the kind that vampire remains produce.

Francisco, that means that the vampires or some powerful being that can kill vampires and leave a trail of sulphur.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, what do we do, great master?

“You'd better tell me, you're in charge now remember.

Vil send some masters to look for the vampires if it's possible that they have it and these days Marco will inform me of t narco-demon, I'll send emissaries to interrogate him, what else can I do, great master.

“You should appoint me advisor,

“No, grand master, this is no time for trifles, we must concentrate on the objective of going to Las Capas.

“We have to find Luisa, but neither the tracker Yaqui and her daughter have found her whereabouts, we must exhaust all options, send a very strong squad headed by Michel to the lair of the vampire bosses in that city that they believe to be sacred, and send the same people that went to the demon-narco, they already know him, surely they can come to an agreement.

Yes sir, Grand Master, now please come with me, I must leave him for a few days in the dungeon, I hope that one day I ca be excused.

-Francisco, stop whining, if you decided to commit these acts, accept what it triggers, even if I forgive you, you will contin to be a traitor and there is one very important thing you should know, I dreamt that a star fell to earth, that is the same thing I dream when the chosen ones arrive, which means that it is about to be born or to reveal itself, if it is true it would be of great advantage to us in the expedition, you also have to be alert about that and worry about bringing me good foc -1 will be very concerned about your wellbeing in this transition, again I beg your pardon, 1 am sorry.
