A Love In Dark Times

Excellent, we have now completed three keys to open the door of Las Capes, soon we will be able to revive Mrs. Mery. - Francisco grabbed the key and joined it to the others.

-1 don't know why you are interested in reviving your mother, are you my father, asked Luisa, tired of opening the portals “No my child, I would like to, only that your mother taught me, she gave me reasons to live and at the same time I gave h the strength to go on, she already knew that your stepfather was a homosexual. I loved him like a sister, but she needed feel the fire of love that burned her chest and I needed to feel alive for the first time in centuries, -Francisco answered he crying remembering when he kissed her and held her in his arms, also the cruel vision to which he was abducted by that shadow of terror.

-My mother had the gift of choosing her partners badly, look, you're the top, a damned traitor and apparently I inherited it's a genetic predisposition. -Luisa readied her sword just in case.

-1 know that my reasons don't justify my actions, I behaved like a rebellious adolescent that the only thing I wanted was I be killed. Francisco continued crying.

Master, he would have thrown himself into a well. -Guio mocked him.

“Why can't he die? -asked Estrello to satisfy his curiosity.

“What happens is that I was one of the champion warriors who imprisoned the incarnation of evil that threatened to destroy everything, that's why the Creator rewarded us with it. -Francisco confessed to them.

-And why didn't the Creator defeat the thing by himself?

-1 don't know and I've always wondered, the great master said it was because He doesn't act directly, that would take awe the thrill of learning, it must be as if He could have us in a golden cradle, where we are fed with delicacies, but He knows that that would raise lazy and undisciplined children, that's why He sends us on these missions, they must be like school trips or plays that He must be pleased to see. -Francis stopped talking, wiping away his tears.

-Although from what I've heard, The Creator was with you on that mission and he's a wolf. -Estrello barked, stretching his muscles.

The Creator can take on any form, although He is all that exists, what we saw was like a finger puppet that He used so th we in our tiny intelligence could understand Him and each one of us looked at Him as the person we loved the most and His avatar was with us for a long time, He trained us, they were fantastic times, one felt enlightened to be in His presence we cried for days when He left,” Francisco stood up, puffing out his chest.

“Why did he leave? -asked Luis, cleaning his nameless sword.

He said he wasn't really leaving because he was always with us, only that we couldn't learn what was to come if he was with us and that we knew where to find him, I suppose he meant Las Capas. There he must be, that world he created whe; he was with us, many times he took us to show us how he did it, that is magic or miracles, how much infinite power, incapable of being measured, hopefully one day he will receive me in his bosom. -Francisco smiled again.

-Miss Luisa, we have already fulfilled our deal, please fulfil yours. -That's what the noises coming out of the chandelier meant.

“You're right, a deal, it's a deal, I'll try,” Luisa concentrated, remembering her grandmother Nieves when she urged her to behave and she remembered the fable she used to tell her, which went something like this:

“A child stole a toy,

The mother saw it as a prank,

What a sweet oaf,

So began his misadventure.

The child grew and grew,

Lots of money was to be found,

She never corrected him,

Why a share she'd give him,

Banks he robbed as an adult,

Till his luck ran out,

He was imprisoned without pardon,

sentenced to death.

He died not innocent,

Straight to eternal damnation,

His mother the only mourner,

He died in an internal hospital,

He also went to the hearth,

Where on the wheel of sins,

Tied together with her offspring,

They spun like roasted chickens,

They said to each other this hurtful phrase,

“malaya my son who didn’t obey”

“malaya my mother who did not correct me”

Little by little the flames of La candileja extinguished, revealing the two grandchildren on top of the grandmother, who stood up and knocked them down, hitting each of them hard, scolding them:

-1 don't spank you for what you did, I do it for what you are going to do. -The children embraced her, proclaiming:

-sorry granny, we promise to behave well from now on, we'll be good children. -And they disappeared in a ray of light tha would carry them off into eternity.

-Luisa, how fabulous is your power, I thought I heard you say that you can open a portal to a place or a person you know, so why didn’t you do it from the beginning, by concentrating on my mother or one of the kidnapped we could have arrive easily. -Angie unburdened her of the doubt that was weighing her down.

“I tried at first, but Mephistopheles’ powers blocked me, I'll try this time. -She turned away from everyone, thinking of the great master, twirling her sword as if she were mixing the air, she formed a whirlpool of light through which they all entered.

They found themselves in a cave, a kind of prison, the guardian shadows attacked them, but in these instances they were no match for them, the inmates, seeing how the guards were torn to shreds, begged to be released, according to them the were all innocent.

-What do we do, do we release them,” asked Guio trying to open a cage.

Of course not, we don’t know the real reason they are here, they could be rapists or corrupt politicians. -Angie stopped him.

“The complicated thing is that we destroy the guards, they could be the ones who give them food, without them we will b condemning them to die of starvation. -opined Luis.

“Well, without Mephistopheles in charge, this is a new world, let's free them and let them choose a new beginning, they w surely come back here or end up dead if their nature is diabolical. -Francis proposed, activating a mechanism that opene the doors.

-Do you know where the special prisoners are? -asked Luisa to one of the prisoners who was happily leaving his cell.

-Of course, miss, on the lower level, where the light doesn't reach, that's where they put the worst of them, if that's what you mean.

They descended for miles in a lift, imagining the mighty dangerous beasts that would be locked up there. Arriving at the thick iron doors without windows made them think they would be more terrifying, nowhere could they find locks or anything to open the cages.

I play the old-fashioned way. -Francisco cut a door in two parts with his sword, knocking it down, where a pale, very thin shadow was tied with many chains, Francisco asked him:

“Who are you?

1 was a defender of human rights, 1 am here to preach them. -In another cell Angie broke down the door, there were four almost transparent and very thin shadows, surely they were made of sticks that told her: “Please don't kill us, please don kill us, please don't kill us:

Please don’t kill us, our only sin is that we wanted to establish democracy.

The same thing happened to Luis, who freed some journalists who questioned the government, while Guio freed some ecologists who opposed the manufacture of explosives with whale blubber, Estrello could not open the door with his clay that door had a familiar smell and he had to ask for help:

Please, someone help me to break down my door, on the other side is my herd.

Luisa helped him by breaking down the door, which revealed that inside it were all the members of the herd, who howled with joy to see that she had come to their rescue.

The others concentrated on the door at the back, with the largest and thickest door, which they all knocked down, revealing inside it the detained masters,

-Mommy! -Angie greeted her mother, hugging her and removing all the chains.

-Angie, it's good to see you again, there wasn't a day I didn't think of you. -Yaqui hugged and kissed her, too, until she felt small paw tapping her from Angie's stomach. -And this?

-Mommy, you're going to be a grandmother. -He revealed his secret to her, considering that she would be furious or cry and, on the contrary, he hugged her, dancing and jumping up and down.

“What a joy to see you again. -Francisco ran to free him.

-Francisco, my friend, I was confident that you would find a way to free us.

Estrello did not want to be rude, but interrupted the celebration by asking Luisa for a favour:

Dear goddess, I apologise for only wanting to ask you for favours, but I cannot risk my herd to that Dangerous journey of Las Capas and I don't know how to return, please create a portal to send us to earth, please for the life of you.

Yes of course, I thought I would tell you that, I realise you have cubs. -Saying this with his sword he tore the air, where ar opening appeared that led to the forest through which the herd crossed without any problems.

-'m going too, I don't want to risk my baby any more. -Angie sobbed, crossing the portal with her mother, who excused herself for leaving the mission, to which the great master replied:

-quiet woman, you have gone through great martyrdom, you have the right to resign, go home, recover and take care of your grandson, by the way if any of you here want to leave you have every right to do so.

The few surviving teachers also left with their heads bowed, of those captured only the great master remained, who said Luisa:Updated by FindNovel.net, visit for more free novels

-1 congratulate you my child, you have acquired great power and you have used it for good in spite of your master's intentions.

“Thank you, great master, I suppose you don't want to kill me anymore, do you? -replies Luisa, touching the handle of her sword.

-Of course not, little girl, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't, you have become very strong, I am proud that you didn’t fall into the clutches of evil. The great master tried to embrace her, but it was better not to risk it.

-Grand Master, we already have three keys, where do we go now? -Francisco shows them to her, bowing to her.

Francisco, I see that you were affected by the winds of purgatory, don't you remember that the next destination is the re world, a nefarious place.
