A Love In Dark Times

Her heart beat fast, as if it was going to burst out of her chest, a great joy invaded her causing her sword to absorb all

those shadows leaving the field clear, exposing the cruel slaughter, some badly wounded teachers raised their hands

asking for help.

“We must help them,” Yaqui proposed, running to one nearby, only to have him close his eyes forever.

-Let’s go to the great master, we can still hear banging in his palace,’ Marco ordered, running off, ignoring the calls for hel

-Luisa tried to greet him with a hug, but Angie stepped in, kissed him and rubbed his chest, while he looked at her in

surprise.

Luisa had to walk away, following Marco, leaving behind a trail of tears, filling herself with fury that would serve her well i

the next fight. They broke down the doors of the castle, seeing a skinny man dressed in a dinner jacket with a monocle o

his left eye, the great master against a broken wall, and also the master Francisco, who was hunched over on his feet,

holding his belly with one hand, from which some coloured fluids were gushing out.

-At last my guest of honour arrives,” said the elegant man, turning gently to greet Luisa raising his glass, while the traitor

took advantage of this greeting to attack him from behind with his spear of light, the shadow of this gentleman was

projected like an octopus hitting Francisco who also shot out breaking another wall.

-A thousand apologies my lady, allow me to introduce myself, I am Mephistopheles, the master of the shadows, I could se

even my offer still stands.

“We won't give you anything, you'd better leave before we destroy you,” stammered the great master between groans,

getting up, shaking the dust off his clothes.

This lack of cooperation gets you nowhere, reflect that we seem to want the same thing, it's all about getting to Las Capa

Mephistopheles, shaking his glass and then tasting it.

“No way are we working with beings of darkness. -Marco shouted, attacking him, the master of shadows only wagged his

little finger and black spikes sprouted from the ground, blocking the warrior.

-A thousand pardons my lord, allow me to introduce myself, I am Mephistopheles, the emo of the shadows, I could see th

stands.

“We won't give you anything, you'd better leave before we destroy you,” stammered the great master between groans,

getting up, wiping the dust from his rope.

That felte of coleborecion does not take you anywhere, reflect that the perish we want the same, it is trete of arriving in

Les Cepes, maybe not for the same reasons, but that moves us the fibres, we could help us and arrive faster. -

Mephistopheles explained, eking out his head after disgorging him.

-In no way will we work with beings from the darkness. -The emo of the shadows only moved his little finger and from the

ground sprouted black spikes that blocked the warrior.

Let's attack together! -proposed Yaqui who entered with Luis and Angie, the combined attacks seemed to give better

results, Mephistopheles was already forced to throw his glass of wine and move all his fingers like an orchestra conductor

The great master reached up to strike him in the face and for a moment showed his true face, a dark skull with two dark

flames for eyes. Feeling cornered, a great shadow sprouted in the form of a spear that if it had not been for Luisa, who

absorbed it, would have split the great master in two, who launched himself with a flying kick, hitting Mephistopheles

again, sending him this time against the walls where he mentioned: “The mistake is mine:

The mistake is mine, 1 didn't count on the new abilities of Miss Luisa, it is better that I fight with all my power,’

immediately his skin turned dark, his elegant suit dissolved in dark flames, showing his skull and began to attack them

directly, without using shadows, he was so fast that it seemed that it was an army.

-We have to coordinate,” Luis proposed.

-Of course, this is Mr. Coordination,” shouted Luisa, while trying to cut Mephistopheles, who dodged the fierce attacks of I

sword, to hit her in the belly.

This is not the time to clear up misunderstandings,” replied Luisa, while receiving a kick in the face from the shadow King

There are no misunderstandings, other than my own, I considered that you would keep your word. -I considered that yor

would keep your word,” commented Luisa, hitting Mephistopheles, grabbing him by the ankles and throwing him against

the ceiling, where she only spun around and launched herself to counterattack him.

They are misunderstandings, I don't have anything with Angie,” Luis laughed loudly, forgetting that she was also in that

place.

-Don't tell me that that kiss was just friends,” Luisa reproached him, while she crossed blows against the master of

darkness.

They should arrange their intimacy somewhere else, with little light and few clothes,” Mephistopheles spoke this time,

raising his hands as if he was pulling something from the ground where some tentacles sprouted and attacked everyone.

the same time.

“He must have done that because he was so excited to see me safe. -Luis excused himself and added: “Right, Angie, we

don't have anything?

Angie took a few seconds to answer until she mumbled:

“It's true, I got carried away with emotion, what a pity I didn’t know that you two had something.

They don't have anything either, because Luisa and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. -interrupted Guio, lowering his guard

and being hit by one of those tentacles.

“You have a boyfriend and you reproach me for a mistake. -replied Luis, at the same time as he cut the tentacle that was

attacking him in half.

-Dear Guio, apparently I wasn't clear enough, it's over between us, the end, the end, it's over. -said Luisa, while her sword

devoured the tentacle like a spaghetti.

That means the two of you can be together, for the time being,” interjected the grandmaster, destroying the tentacle and

delivering a cross kick to the dark skull.

1 won't forget the way you made my only daughter suffer,” Yaqui leaned close to Luis, whispering in his ear.

“I really didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me,” Luis replied.

They should pair Luis and Luisa, and another couple of the remaining Guio and Angie. joked Marco, jabbing

Mephistopheles in the belly with his spear.

-Better you and I should do it, big guy. -Mery proposed, destroying another shadowy tentacle.

-1 don't understand why so much protocol and procedures for the union of skins, they should be like animals, when they

feel like it they do it with another who also has them and that's it, at most they do a stupid dance or something to provol

“Mephistopheles roared, lining himself with shadows and attacking them with many arms.

“You wouldn't understand the difference between mating and making love," replied the great master, dodging the blows

and trying to strike back.

~Your multiple needs are of no concern to me, that's why I prefer to be a simple being without much to wish for, 1 only lik

chaos and darkness, that's all. -The king of darkness shouted, lining the walls with shadows, pulling out knives that

stretched out like tentacles from the walls, attacking his opponents from all angles.

50 why do you want to go to the capes? -Marco questioned, as he was being beaten all over his body by the claws and

blades of the shadows.

1 know that in that place I will find the necessary elements to achieve eternal chaos.

Too bad today won't be the day you get our key, it's a few minutes before dawn and you'll have to leave or the sun will

consume you,” added Yaqui as she was slammed to the ground, chipping away.

You think you are ready to make time for the dawn and for me there is nothing sweeter than to destroy hopes and

illusions, know that light does not affect me, on the contrary, it strengthens me, it is my duality, how can there be shadow
