Tylos hurried to follow Liria, although it was not difficult for him to keep up with her, that girl in armor was very fast even carrying so much weight on her, however, he was not worried about her getting away from the group, but rather that he carried the "crosshead" that he had previously removed.
"Because she's going so fast, at this rate I'm going to lose her, is she really going to take the sword?"
Tylos followed her stealthily and soon stopped near that cabin where Robert had stayed, it was still intact because the monsters had not reached that place.
It was soon beginning to get dark and she had no choice but to stay there.
Liria called, but no one answered, so she went in since the door was not secured, she verified that no one was there and then she sat in front of the fireplace in silence as if it were a cemetery, tears began to fall down Liria's face. Liria while hugging herself, could not contain her tears.
Tylos watched her from the shadows, however, he did not show any gesture at the situation, the serene look in his eyes only said the many times he had seen similar situations "What we leave inside of us only makes a load more than carry, hopefully all the heavy burdens that we must bear will go away with our tears, but there are faults that we cannot forget even with tears of blood, we can only carry them with us"
Liria fell asleep shortly after…
The night was already upon them so Tylos decided to at least stay in the doorway of the cabin, he thought that this way he could avoid any misunderstanding, since he was going to enter there while she was sleeping anyway.
Shortly after meditating for a while on what had happened, he began to get sleepy, he leaned against the door to find out if she would leave or not and then his eyelids fell, leaving him in a deep sleep.
- The soft path of the wind touches the branches of the trees that seem to listen to the whisper of a silent voice, it seems as if they are waiting attentively, always vigilant, it is what I always think since I became a hunter, every day I come to the top from this canyon to see that all is well in our village that is hidden in the valley.
It is what an older man said, he denoted long white hair, a prominent beard that covered from his jaw to his chest, his attire was modest, he carried an old bow on his back "The jaws" added to that a sword that the man senile called it as "La cruceta".
His gaze was lost on the horizon while he saw the great canyon waiting for something to happen, he did the same every day and took the orphans to the highest part of this place and there they glimpsed the landscape, he seemed to be worried about something, but he simply did not say it Although a 5-year-old boy with dark hair and black eyes "Tylos" was very perceptive and always looked at him suspiciously, what could it be that stole that peaceful old man's calm?
-Master Volt, because he always talks about the same thing when we come to this place, I know he cares about the village, but doesn't he think he's going too far? The only thing that abounds around here are harmless creatures
Apart from that, the others have been saying for a long time that he is already going crazy and even in the village they say that you are just a bum who believes in fantasies of a forgotten time.
- Tylos, you should know that the secrets of this world are not exposed to the naked eye and are not shown to anyone who seeks them, only those worthies find the path that leads them to discover those mysteries, there are much more terrifying beings in this world than the animals that we hunt for food, we are not always the hunters, besides there are secrets that it would be better if we did not know, sometimes you are happier living in ignorance. Now I add this question for you, who else besides us could discover something interesting in this great canyon? Many old people told me in my youth that there is not only one of these but a total of five such immense cannons that intersect in a large hole where no bottom can be seen, only darkness.
Also, guys, I will tell you a story that few know about the past time, a legend from a long time ago:
At the beginning of creation, when the first great civilizations arose, supernatural and magical beings lived together in this world, there was peace and harmony, spirits lived alongside humans, my father told me that while we went hunting, as he it pointed to the vestiges of the place where spiritual beings helped build what was once one of the greatest civilizations on this world Alfatra one of the five legendary ones.
My father used to say that in the beginning nothing on this earth had been corrupted by the darkness of malice, the same malice that stains the hearts of living beings black, is like a seed that always bears disastrous fruit.
At that time, it was normal to see hunting companions such as royal crested wolves, huge forest spirits that took on different aspects depending on who called them and helped humans by letting them ride on them and transport themselves, even spirits of the same forest that materialized in the form of beautiful deer that had antlers where the vegetation grew and were so huge that three people could ride on them.
People cultivated pastures for animals and planted all kinds of fruits and grains.
With great distinction there were the heralds of the elements, spirits of great power that were incarnated in people, which made crops grow rapidly and multiplied animals in a dizzying way, they were called wise kings of prosperity and it was common to find them in the great city where they dedicated their efforts to make the human kingdom prosper, they considered them their friends.
Quickly people proliferated throughout the world, every day more cities were built, new forms of magic were discovered, more land was cultivated, so much so that people sought to expand even more and some even ventured into the earth.
Within an enormous desert Samircla tells the legend that an unfortunate man who dedicated his life to take advantage of the defenseless lay on the verge of death when suddenly a star fell from the sky, and a shadow emerged under these sands and said: here is find what you are looking for, "power is not for those who need it, but for those who decide to snatch it... are you that man?", the man extended his hand towards the voice and fainted, when he woke up he was in the entrance of a cave, and in front of him an immense oasis, "how is it possible" the man thought and fell on his knees again, but now from the impression of what his eyes saw.
He sated himself with water and food and decided to venture into that cave, something glowed like amethyst red, they looked like some kind of jewels that covered the entire chamber, out of curiosity, when he touched one, it glowed and he felt an absorbing power from him "how wonderful, so this is what will free me from this life of crap" "maybe the chosen ones aren't always the good ones" he shouted as he seemed to be consumed by greed.
It is said that on the other side of the world a huge hole appeared and from there came horrifying creatures that consumed every living thing they touched and people called it a "crack" the first of the many that would appear.
Legions of monsters devastated everything in their path, only desolate plains remained without plants, animals or elemental beings, in turn corrupting and metamorphosing everything in their path, making this force increasingly unstoppable, towns fell, large cities became strongholds full of aberrations that enslaved and fed on humans and others bred with them.
Out of desperation, a group of adventurers appeared who opposed the darkness, later they would be known as "the five", commanded by the one who in the future would be the king of everything that exists in this world, for years they fought on the front lines liberating city after city and closing every crack they found
However, suddenly the entire world was cleansed of malice, the five great cities of the beginning were destroyed in ruins and without a single inhabitant, and the water dried up from these huge canyons a long time ago, no one knows what happened, all the elemental beings disappeared along with the magical beings.
Those mysterious characters disappeared without a trace, their names were not known and even the king who led them was blamed for what "the great desolation" occurred.
Many say that when the five swords fall, the door of the horrors of the world would open again to finish taking what they left behind in the great calamities.
They are just superstitions of something that is not known if it happened for sure and very few know this story, and if you ask those who know it, they will also be slightly different versions between each story.
But… well, enough of the stories, we have to go, it will be dark soon, we don't want them to find out the truth.
- Now teacher, don't joke, that will never happen.
- May the goddess listen to you my young pupil, now let's go back.
