A Love In Dark Times

Wait, don Richard, if the narco-demon died, that means it wasn't mine, because yesterday I saw them together.

-1 don't know, it must be a coincidence about the abductee’s name, but look what happened next:

Marco tried uselessly to destroy the barrier that imprisoned them, Yaqui came out of the hypnotic trance of the strippers Luis was fainting almost dead and Angie was looking for her beloved all over the castle, screaming and crying, she only found the contract where if she agreed to sign, she could have him, she broke it the first three times she found him then she just left him lying there, finally she curled up placing her head between her arms and wept bitterly.

Luis regained consciousness, his head was pounding like a drum kit at a heavy rock concert, he didn’t know if it was the hangover or the blow, it must have been the mixture, he sat up again looking around him, he met Marco and said to him: “We must look for the girls.

And Marco didn't listen to him, in his mind he believed that if he broke those unbreakable barriers, he would be the strongest in the world, he kept looking for Yaqui who he couldn't make react either, then he found Angie and not even shaking her could make her stop crying, he found the young pregnant girl who was scared and hiding in the jacuzzi:

Ym not going to hurt you, my name is Luis, what's yours?

I'm Yuri Pérez, I'm the wife of the boss Josemaria.

That's his name.

“He can't be dead, he can't die.

“Well, he already is, you wouldn't happen to know how we got out of here?

No, play with Josemaria, he’s the only one who can deactivate this enchantment.

-It's very complicated, since he’s very dead, more so than my grandfather's d*k.

-Don Luis, right? I've seen how they've burned him alive and he always comes back.

No, not this time, you're free.

No, it can't be, I don’t know what I'll do now.

simple, you'll keep all the money from his coves, you'll be free and single, I just want you to remember if you suddenly heard the way to break the spells that prevent us from leaving.

-Maybe in the safe, there is something that can help us?

They went to the safe, it was a room with a big door, which she opened with a very long password, the pregnant woman knew it, one night she pretended to be asleep and spied the password to her husband when he entered to save money, I planned to steal it and flee far away.

Mrs. Yuri, there are only dollars here by the ton, and deeds to properties, this is a lot of money, there must be enough to pay the debts of several countries, enough to live for a thousand lifetimes in opulence.

Look, this is a magic jewel, Josemaria told me that he would like to be buried with it.

-Maybe that medallion is the key to the barrier.

-I remembered that about the barrier, he once said it was like a spring that the more force you apply to it the more it reps you, he compared it to a jealous woman.

That helps a lot, Mrs. Yuri, look at this book, this is a book of spells, this could be the key.

They went down together, she didn't flinch at the sight of her husband broken into several pieces.

-Don Luis, can I say goodbye to my husband?

-As you wish, I thought you were here against your will.

“No, I loved him very much, even though he was an ugly fat man, I loved his luxuries and position, I loved the pleasures h gave me except those in bed, I loved his ability to make money, 1 loved him wholeheartedly and sincerely, I loved him, he already made me like a queen.

In another part of the house Angie continued crying dry tears, remembering again and again her beloved, she felt she wa losing him again and again, she relived every moment they lived together, until she remembered the words he told her tf day, she had to move on, she could not stay skating in that hole, she was a warrior and she had to be the best, maybe lat she would get a way to see him again or maybe she would get another one, for example Luis, she remembered that they kissed, even though it was a drinking thing, maybe that would be the beginning, the initial installment of their relationsh she had to react, she saw herself reduced to tears, she screamed at herself to react, she screamed hard shaking herself, until she became one, opening her eyes she was on her feet screaming, she drew her sword and raised it up high intoning her oath.

while downstairs Luis was looking through that book without understanding those symbols and scribbles, besides incongruities, in one spell the main ingredient was toad’s tears, in others grandmother's warts and things like that, he stopped paying attention to Yuri who placed the talisman to one of the smoking pieces of the hood, that jewel shined joining the pieces of Josemaria, he laughed and said to them:

thank you wife, this medallion cost me a lot to get it, it is said that nothing can harm the one who wears it, not even the sacred flame of that sword, now I am going to kill you, I will take revenge for having stung me, on the other hand, I will reduce you to dust.

The kingpin first swelled little by little, his skin greened, his hands grew longer becoming claws, his shoulder blades blossomed into bat wings, from his forehead sprouted a pair of deer horns, he began to throw fire and spit acid at Luis, who tried to dodge it without being able to attack him.

-Marco, please help me,” he shouted as he was about to be burned, and Marco was still trying to break through the barrie stubborn as a mad goat,

-1 will kill you and then your family and friends, I will kill every person you have ever touched or spoken to! -His wife ran back to the room to take refuge and as she climbed the stairs she collided with Angie who was coming down with her sword drawn and her gaze fixed on the demon, she was almost cut with everything and foetus, the warrior jumped and turned in the air and tore the beast again and again, for nothing, her sword passed through it, it was like a curtain of smoke, like a fog, on the other hand, when she hit it hardened like a wall of iron.

-My magic necklace won't let anything happen to me, and my, in my demonic form, I have unlimited power, I can fight you forever and I will never get tired.

Luis had the idea of breaking the talisman, he took a gamble by jumping with a sword of light, which also became incorporeal, he was almost scorched if it wasn't for Angie who pulled him by one foot.

They kept calling for Marco and Yaqui, but to no avail, each of them was wrapped up in these nightmares.

Luis literally had a stroke of luck, being pulled by Angie so he wouldn't be roasted by the beast, he landed against the mz table, almost broke his back on the edge, and saw that next to the chest where the sword Darmela was, was the leather parchment where the narco’s pact was, that cursed piece that they recovered from the wish fulfillment, was there without much importance, he grabbed it, sent it to Angie who, like in baseball, hit it with her sacred sword, with a violet flame tha broke the piece of leather.

The narc’s body lit up with smoke coming out of his pores, he shrunk his body, again he turned his normal colour, he trie to spit fire and only a cough and a smelly gas escaped from his backside, stinking not deadly, then he cried saying:

1 am human again, I am afraid again, I am afraid of you, I feel hungry, I feel thirsty, I feel love or thanks to my wife, I want to feel happy about this, only I am flooded with sadness and guilt for all the bad things I have done, I feel dirty because : that crap made me feel good, you must kill me, I will not be able to live with this guilt.

Angie threw a sword through him again, the talisman was still protecting him.

-Wait, I'll take it off” he said, still crying.

“No daddy, I can't live without you, what will 1 do alone with all your millions, don't die, live as a human, don't be anxious to die so that you will be a demon again in the fifth pailon,” cried Yuri.

“Yes, it will be worse punishment that you live burdened by your guilt” Angie sentenced him.

Yes, narco, let us go Or...

or what, you'll kill me, go ahead and do it.

“No, we'll burn your safe with all that money inside," said Luis pointing to where that room was.

-It's like with a woman, if you show her that you need her, she will leave, on the other hand, if you don’t show her anythir she will stay, before, on the contrary, you have to make them see that she is the one who needs you, then she will stay, tr difficult thing will be to get your friends out of their epiphanies, suddenly if I had the demonic powers I could do something, now I am useless, 1 only have my millions, properties and influences.

Angie hugged her mother saying:

-Mommy, here I am, remember that I love you, men come and go, there are many, but I am your only daughter and I will always be with you, mommy, I love you, I love you very much.

vaqui looked at her daughter and little by little she came to her senses, hugged her and cried, also telling her:

“I love you very much, my queen, my baby, my beloved daughter.

On the edge of the barrier where Marco was, reaching his limit, about to die for his pride, Luis arrived and crossed the barrier, went out and came back in, Marco stunned fell to his knees, with his eyes welling up with astonishment he asked “How is it that you, an inexperienced warrior, could overcome this powerful force field and I could not?

-It was not simple, it is only that you give it the power, it is something that you yourself produce, I remembered when I wi a child, my teeth hurt a lot, I was taken to many dentists who took my teeth out without solving anything, some of them removed my tights and reinstalled them, only to take money from my parents, a friend to whom I told him said to me: “It that you are a beast, it is that you are a beast: -it's that you are a beast, if you keep clenching that jaw, you think you are bench press, -of course it was my fault, I developed the knack of clenching my jaw, I learned to let it go and my problems went away, that's what you should do Marco, let it go, don't fight against the barrier, stop wanting to be the strongest, wo for it without obsessing, let go of your chains, relax, an ice cube crushes you, instead, steam lifts you up, being composec of the same, relax don't fight the current, use it to go fast.

Marco sat in a lotus flower meditating for a few seconds, his constricted face relaxed, as if he had passed a clothes iron, I got up and passed the barrier walking softly and almost sideways.

They waited for their companions who also took a while to come out, Yaqui with a smile carried the sword Darmela on he back.

-Come on, I feel they need us," Luis shouted.

Immediately Angie invoked a portal that swallowed them up and immediately spat them out into the league's barracks, where the usual calm landscape became confused, with a few warriors full of bandages and crutches, on stretchers or limping through the corridors, although Luisa stood out a few meters away, that seemed to Luis, he saw her so beautiful, unreal that it seemed that her surroundings were diluted and she emerged from a shower of stars, she was next to Don Carl, to his beloved master Michel, to master Francisco and strangely next to Guio, he ran to meet them again thinking thz their reunion would be very emotional; He would soon be very sorry to find out how wrong he was.
