A Love In Dark Times

“They'll never get out of here alive, they'll end up melting in the acid canisters or in the belly of the reptile. -The snail, surrounded by several vicious demons, sentences them.

We will fight to the death if necessary. -Luis shouts at him while attacking him with his sword, decapitating him.

“Don't do it Luis, it's useless because they regenerate and they also expel that aroma that drugged us, there must be a we to eliminate them, but this isn't it, we have to flee, let's go, the pendulum points us that way, we have to avoid them and enter the pond of that lizard, that way this object points. -Angie proposes to them, entering the pit where the enormous crocodile opens its jaws, which end up cut by the flaming sword.

“This water is full of bones. Louisa, feeling disgusted by the place, says, “This water is full of bones.

-And we have to dive, it seems to take us somewhere else. -said Angie, plunging into the fluids.

They swam under the water looking for a light that was the exit at the other end, it led them to another similar room, where they ran out guided by the pendulum, but they were locked in by other snails.

Hold on, my children. A sweet voice was heard, an old priest who seemed to send out rays of light, causing the snail-mer to flee in terror.

-A priest, how I hate them, reminds me of the priest in my village who tried to rape me. -Angie said spitting.

“My daughter, what happens is that sometimes there are bad people who sneak into institutions, like corrupt policemen those who let themselves be carried away by their inner demons, in the name of that rotten fruit I ask for your forgivenes “The priest prays, clasping his hands together to pray for silence.

-Father, what are you doing in a place like this? -Luis asks, his voice soothing.

-I come to bring food and joy to this place of tragedy, I bring the message of salvation from the creator and rescue those who beg for salvation, those who are tired of being in the mud, those who feel they have hit rock bottom, although my superiors sent me to build a church, I chose to make a foundation to save these souls, I have taken thousands out of this situation, together with my collaborators, we have taken hundreds of condemned out of this mire, we have given them a home, food, education and love, without caring if they ingratiate themselves to our religion. -The priest, who is a true sai explains.

Wait father, we agreed that you wouldn't mess with us again. -The snail Colino, shaking himself from afar, demanded. -Of course demon, I'm not messing with you, it's just part of the deal as you say that no one is obliged to be inside your domain, in the same way they can't be released. -The father replies, showing him a white vial.

Don't you dare, if you harm us, I will kill all my tenants. -said the big snail, drooling.

My intention is not to harm you, on the contrary, I would like to save you from your cruel task, you must be disgusted by having to t*****e all those people. -The father proclaimed as he pulled out a wooden crucifix.

Well, get out, if you want to take them with you, they were already leaving, but you can’t end this, you know that 1 only supply them with a need, if you destroy me, they will surely go to my brothers. -The snail foams as if it was going to boil. -1 know, some are not ready for salvation, which is something that cannot be forced, as a result they would relapse a thousand times or revolt at the change, but it's still exciting to finish you, it's something worth telling at the conventions. And the father threw him the open vial that poured a white powder that melted that snail demon called colin.

“Wow, that's a holy powder! -Luis exclaimed in amazement.

“No my son, it is only salt, with which food is prepared, just that, you must learn to choose your weapons to fight, even remember that words are very powerful, because with them you can win wars before fighting them. ~The priest advised them with a big smile on his face.

We thank you very much priest, we will also help you to demolish this place. ~said Luisa, brandishing her sword “armel -As for the demolition, this place still hasn't fulfilled its objective, that demon was right, as for the addicts looking for ott pots, the problem isn't the dispensaries, it's the lack of prevention policies, it's the lack of policies of prevention, it's the lack of prevention policies, it's the lack of prevention policies, it's the lack of prevention policies, it's the lack of preventi policies, it's the lack of prevention policies, it's the lack of prevention policies, its the lack of prevention policies, it's the lack of prevention policies, the publicity about consumption, the silly ideas of some celebrities that getting addicted give you rebellious status and other social problems, that's why we shouldn't blame a place, that would be like blaming the dump because there's rubbish. -The priest spoke very nicely.

“Father is right, please excuse me for what I said, and because we have to continue with our mission, although it seems t me that my searcher pendulum is damaged, it keeps pointing at it. -Angie mentions, pointing at him with that artefact. No, my daughter, your crystal works very well, you must look for this. -He pulls out a gold cross with a deep green emera on it from his chest. -Take this is the emerald of the goddess Tena, please give it back to me when you use it, itis my protection and a friend gave it to me.

Father, thank you very much, we need this to save our masters. -Luis said hugging him, then the warriors did the same, saying goodbye, opening the portal that would return them to the battle against Mephistopheles.

Wait, boys, you're forgetting something. -The father mentioned to them with a tender smile.

“No, I think we forgot something. -Angie replies, returning.

It must be that because of the toxins that these beings administered to them, they forgot something very important, or rather, someone, look, there's something coming out of the pit. -He pointed to the pool of water where the good Guio car out, still dizzy from the substances in the place, and said to them:

-I don't want to leave, I just came to say goodbye.

“No Guio, your destiny is greater than being here asleep, you are a warrior of the light, you must destroy thousands of demons and monsters, see that very soon the right woman will arrive, your goddess who will love you unconditionally. -T father proclaimed, extending his hands as if he was inviting them to something.

“Thank you very much father Niccol, you really are a true saint.

The boys said goodbye and entered the door of light, heading for the fight in the barracks.
