Capítulo 2: Symbiosis
The chirping of the birds that perched on the branch of a large and fluffy tree made Kaligo wake up.
As soon as he opened his eyes and rubbed them, he pulled off the snow-white blanket, sat up and looked around, still not understanding what had happened.
"It was just a bad dream.Kaligo breathed a sigh of relief.
–But what's that smell, it smells like a hospital."
He looked back again and saw something terrible, a blanket, yes, a blanket.
"Wait, I don't have a blanket like that.""Damn, really…
Looking at himself, he dispelled all doubts that he had matured at that moment, his chest was bandaged, and just to the left of the center of the chest,
there was a crimson smear of dried blood.
"Still, it wasn't a dream, and how did I get here?" Kaligo tried to stand up, but a sharp pain in his chest stopped him.–and who's the guy I saw in the delirium?"
Kaligo's bandages were torn, and what looked like tentacles peeked out, and where the knife had struck, an eye the size of a tennis ball glittered.
"Mortis Messorim is the lord of the Great Pyramid, an extreme being, and my friend.
The creature surprisingly had intelligence and the ability to communicate
Panic seized Kaligo, he jumped out of bed and ran around the hospital room like a madman, only the very creature that started the panic stopped him from jumping out of the window.
The tentacles reached out to the hand and turned the frail hand into real, living steel.
Hitching itself next to the mirror, the creature secured both its own and Kaligo's safety.
"Who or what are you?"??Kaligo seemed ready to die of fear, and only stood thanks to the creature.
"Calm down, I don't have a goal to kill you, if that's what you mean. I am Ekutem Pectus, and in order to exist normally, I have to live with other beings in symbiosis, and you were chosen for our survival.
"Our own?"Kaligo seemed perplexed.
"One of the tramps decided to put you on a knife for the sake of the tattered pieces of paper in your wallet.
If it wasn't for me, you would have died a few hours ago due to blood loss, I called an ambulance for us, I had to scare the people a little, but it's all for our good.
You know, I love to travel, traveling even to other worlds does not frighten me,but on the contrary attracts me with its adventure.
So I asked my friend for a favor, to jump between your world and the world I came from, and find me a suitable companion.
Of course, I did not want anyone to live with me all my life without their will, and so we decided to give the so-called "choice" either to die at the hands of a thief, or to live with me, you chose the latter.
Now, according to the contract you made with Mortis, you must protect me, including yourself, for if you die, I will die, won't I?
However, your body is too weak, and it is understandable because you are only a human, but for the sake of survival, we will have to go beyond the limits of human capabilities, unless of course they are not overcome.
Kaligo calmed down, and the creature returned to its normal form.
"So what do we do now?"–You don't look much like a part of my body, we'll be discovered and sent for our heads by the Legion."Kaligo was pointing at the mirror, at Ekutem.
"That's a good question, but I saw it coming, look.The Ekutem dissolved into his chest, leaving no sign of a wound.
"Incredibly, we can now live in peace without fear of aggression from the Legion.Kaligo even got excited, but the rumbling of his stomach did not allow him to rejoice any further.
Ekutem's voice rang clearly in Kaligo's head.
-First of all, let's go and have a nice lunch, your body needs a lot of resources, let's go.
And so the two "two in one" clumsily walked out of the room and headed for the exit...
