Protos

Prologue

Hello readers, I am Alejandro the Raven Writer. This is a small project that has cost me a lot to bring, this is Protos, in English. Protos is a science fiction novel in Spanish published on the Amazon platform, it narrates the epic of the police officer Ookami, in search of three fugitives from the government of Acuatica, however this mission will make him relate to the Guardians, lineage of heroes with whom he has an intrinsic relationship and with a dangerous being who wants to destroy his universe. I am from Venezuela, a country that if you do not know, is going through a very difficult economic crisis, so selling and translating the novel has been very difficult for me. This prologue has been translated by a friend, I will leave your facebook profile in the comments in case you want to support it. If you like the prologue and want to support me, on patreon I have several projects and on paypal you can also donate to me, everyone who does will receive a copy of the digital novel translated into English. You can find the links in the banner of my profile. With nothing more to say, I hope you enjoy reading, greetings and that you enjoy it.

If you catch your breath after a dark dream and see in yourself that it is only a reflection of reality, would you go back to sleep? Or would you continue in this world fighting for a better truth? I think that will only be determined by your courage. (...) "Make yourself comfortable little one, you'll love the place," says the white-haired man with a smile. Opening the door for the young man to pass.
"Shiro and I are happy to have you around, it was difficult to convince your parents to take a vacation with us," the slightly bluish-black haired woman commented, placing things on the table in the living room. "Thanks for doing this gramps! I really want to be with you! Exclaimed the little albino boy. "This house is great ... Although a little ... Old ..." -Old? The term you are looking for is classic kid. "The Knight chuckled as he helped his wife put in the things that were missing. "Yeah, you say it's old." But still you are fascinated with it —replied the lady stroking her grandson's hair, watching the fireplace next to him. The place was a cabin, in the middle of a dense forest. They all wore winter coats because it was snowing, this house was very different from the ones the young child had known before. Who was always surrounded by a lot of technology, perhaps that is why he felt a powerful attraction towards her and being next to his beloved grandparents could only improve the feeling. "Shirokuma, please make some coffee." We will give this naughty boy a chameleon express. I will light the fireplace, later you will have to cut more firewood —ordered the girl, who then gave her boy a kiss on the cheek and took some pieces of logs to start the fire. "Okay, my heart will do it right away," the man answered, heading for the kitchen. -Oh oh oh! Grandpa! Will you use the Sword of Destiny? —Asked the boy with great emotion.
"Of course not, Ookami, I'll use an ax, I'm not going to use the most powerful weapon in the universe to cut wood," the man chuckled at what his grandson told him. The infant's eyes then fell on the holster of the weapon, which was left on the living table. Still contained, the blade exuded a constant glow that amazed the little one. The woman lit the fireplace and turned to look at her grandson with affection. "You really like that sword, don't you my little wolf?" The woman asked wryly, grabbing the infant and tickling him. -stop! Grandma! - Exclaimed twisting between laughter the little one, who could not defend himself in any way. "You started a tickling war without me!? How dare you! Shirokuma jumped on top of them, catching them both in his hands. -Don't do it! Love stop! The lady begged, laughing nonstop. -Grandpa! Ookami yelled again helplessly. The three of them fell on the sofa, between laughter and laughter they felt the heat of the fireplace, and only at that moment did they understand how lucky they were to have each other, how happy they really were. And just like a whisper, a dull dark wind their joy. "Mizoko ... did you feel that?" Asked the albino, standing up. "Yeah ... what the hell?" —The woman doubted then, feeling a chill on her back —Ookami, behind the couch —I express immediately, feeling an evil energy approaching towards them.Shirokuma quickly took his sword from the living table and approaching the window saw the worst, in the distance some dark beings were running with speed in the direction of his house. -Careful! - Shouted the albino seeing as his wife was about to be caught. Going through the window, the strange wolf-shaped monster went over the woman, who with sharp reflections caught the beast's jaws with her hands, the teeth pierced her hands, but with an abysmal force she managed to contain it. The knight wasted no time and drawing his weapon, he stabbed the animal in the side, which fell lifeless to one side of the woman.
"Thank you," said the girl, being helped up by her husband. "Ookami!" Are you OK!? He asked fearfully, hearing a cry from his grandson behind the couch. "Are you okay Grandma!? Did the monster attack you? It scared me a lot... —said the boy through tears seeing his heroine with bloody hands. "Do you think something like that can handle us?" I'm fine, are you? —I question again receiving an affirmation that reassures her —then everything is fine. The surprised child noticed that the wounds on his grandmother's hand closed with speed. -How is that? "I told you, something like that can't ..." Before he finished speaking, he felt the same horrible presence approaching. "Stay down," ordered the girl, leaving the boy on the floor. This time some strange humanoid-shaped beings accompanied the hounds and seemed to be surrounding the house. One of the dogs entered again but this time it was immediately intercepted by Shirokuma's sword. -What do you want!? If they keep coming we will finish them all! The albino exclaimed fiercely"It doesn't matter ..." Mizoko whispered with dark eyes, swinging both arms to one side and waving them to the other in one quick motion. After being executed, he left an imposing scythe in his hands. "We will kill them anyway." She whispered coming out of the window. "Grandpa ..." the boy whispered in panic under the chair. "Stay down Ookami, we will protect you," the lord smiled confidently, escorting his wife out. The dark riders gave no response, they simply lunged forward followed by their infernal wolves. Both warriors executed a majestic and violent dance, stopping the attacks and counterattacking with their weapons. The albino's sword decapitated the humanoid beings, while the sickle of his beloved cut the dogs. The infant saw things with fear and intrigue, since he knew them they had told him their stories, but this was the first time that he himself had seen them in action. Back to back, the fighters did not retreat. And the futile attempts of the beasts to defeat them were interrupted by their strong wills, with a last fine cut the battle had come to an end. With heavy breathing, both warriors looked at each other with joy and then they kissed. -Yes! —Celebrate little Ookami getting off the couch. The corpses dissipated like dust in the snow and the couple were comforted to see that their grandson did not have a face of trauma after witnessing what had just happened. They both ran up to him and hugged him. -Are you OK? They asked in unison, checking to see if he had the slightest bruise. "Of course not, you protected me ... you are incredible," said the boy innocently. "We're sorry you saw that, but we weren't going to let any of those things dare to touch you." You are our treasure,"Mizoko commented, giving the infant a kiss."When I grow up I want to be strong like you!" The little boy yelled furiously, his legs still shaking with fright. "You are a very brave little one, if that's what you want we won't stop you." But being a Guardian takes time and dedication,"Shirokuma expressed. -I will strive! —Exclaimed the little one with enthusiasm, satisfying his grandparents who were still with a startled heart. In the distance a couple was approaching and this was quite familiar to the trio. "Ookami!" Are you OK!? They asked in unison. -Mom! Dad! The boy yelled running towards them. "Yes!" My grandparents protected me! "No Ookami!" The albino yelled, running towards his grandson. Turning briefly, the boy noticed the panicked face of his two grandparents, who were rapidly approaching him. When he looked back, he noticed how an immense hand that exuded a purple aura took his two parents and almost himself. If he hadn't been caught and taken away by his grandmother. -Do not! The knight yelled with all his might. (...) Waking up with sweat all over his body, the man was in a state of utter denial. His breathing was heavy and he made so much noise when he got up, that he couldn't help waking his girlfriend. His eyes were gone, as if a part of that dream had really hurt him.
