I was walking through the streets of smooth stone blocks arm in arm with my mother, it was 1 day before my birthday, I was very anxious, the streets were empty, cold, dark and silent, something that is very curious in the village is that no one insect or animal approaches her, as if something magical prevented this approach, the days had been colder for a week so everyone was cozy in their homes, curled up in their fireplaces and watching TV. 

Something that surprised me a lot is that it's been 2 months since anyone has been euthanized.We passed an abandoned house, whose owners had been sacrificed, when I saw a bluish flash coming out of it. When we had just crossed a corner, my arm started to tingle and hurt, starting to shine, my mother looked around worriedly. that anyone could have seen.

Come on let's go home. Before anyone sees you, I don't want to lose you my son, not like I lost your parents. She said pulling my arms, as if my life depended on it.We walked faster and faster and when we saw we were rushing towards our house like a piece of iron towards a huge magnet, when we got home I took a long shower to see if everything would pass, hot water ran down my body, but nothing made this new sensation go away, I felt as if electrical charges were passing throughout my body, that's when it happened, my body began to emit small electrical rays that in contact with water would cause an explosion, but no matter how much they touched the water nothing threatened to explode. Then outside a huge storm rushed in, lightning and lightning lit up the houses and streaked the skies like the pious finger of the Buddha, the drops were like Taranis's tears for all his sons who were slain, thunder echoed like the beating of a drum. de Mina, somehow I knew that storm started because of me.After drying off, I went to my room and when I looked in the mirror, my eyes were as white as the eyes of a blind man, my silver hair gleamed with little dots of light that floated around me, I knew what that was, it was the moon fairies getting me ready for my birthday. The necklace with a black crystal around my neck was glowing with a light so bright that it looked like a huge lighthouse had been lit in the city, in the place where my arm had been glowing, there was a tattoo, a tattoo of a wolf howling at the moon . Around my body was a violet aura in the shape of a wolf. I blinked, and rubbed my eyes, but nothing helped, these strange things didn't go away, I ran to my bed, crawling under the covers. Then I heard explosions and when I looked out my window, I saw huge colorful fireworks exploding in the skies, it was as if the skies were celebrating something, but I didn't know what it was, the storm quickly disappeared and the moon rose once more, strong and powerful illuminating everyone, and the fireworks continued throughout the night. I slowly drifted off to sleep, my sleep disturbed by nightmares, each one more terrifying and darker than the last.I dreamed of a girl with blue eyes, she was fighting a huge dragon in a dark and humid cave, while I watched her, I noticed a quick movement of the dragon's tail, the tail hit her and threw her against one of the walls of the cave, the dragon he stood up on his two hind legs and I could see what he was going to do, he was getting ready to have a barbecue for people. He opened his mouth, showing his huge and pointed teeth, and without me being able to do anything, he released blue flames towards the girl, but before the flames hit the girl, a blond man jumped in front of her protecting the girl. with my own body, I closed my eyes hoping not to see the death of the two, then the dream dissolved, now I saw a dark man being punished inside what looked like a human fortress, the boy was being whipped, I wanted to intervene but I couldn't I could do nothing, all I could do was scream, my scream somehow interfered with the dream, with a scream the human who was whipping him was thrown away, the dream dissolved once more, but before it all disappeared I realized that his tattoos lit up. I landed in the middle of a battlefield, I found myself fighting a snake man. I saw a bloody war that would happen later on, somehow I found myself in the place of that dream me...

"I got ready for the battle against that guy, with half white and half black hair, he was cute with that kind of gothic way, one thing I noticed is that he controlled several snakes these same ones that were giving a lot of work for the people of the pack, snakes of various species, sizes and colors, as I watched that beautiful village that had now become a battlefield, I noticed the owls attacking the snakes,owls of various sizes and cores attacking those nasty snakes, and there was not only the problem of snakes, but there were also skeletons that were controlled by that boy, who didn't look to be more than 16 years old.The snake that was worrying me the most was the one that was wrapped around his neck, a black snake, with red eyes and reddish spots. If she wasn't my enemy's friend, she might even be considered cute. I looked more closely looking for Collin who finally managed to locate him, he was fighting a skeleton, heavens that skeleton should be a giant, it can only be.One thing I already knew about magic is that if you kill the necromancer leader all controlled undead cease to exist and simply die permanently. So with my staff in hand I left for battle, As it was night, thanks to the spell I had made for the invocation of owls, I was stronger, because in which place there was more darkness than night, but for making life easier for the people of the village, I decided to use the same magic that my friend had used, I closed my eyes and concentrated on all those who died and who had loved ones in the battle, then the air became colder, smelling like the The breeze brought death and putrefaction, and from the middle of the forest came several skeletal warriors who joined my time in destroying snakes and enemy skeletons, my eyes, which before were light blue, became whitish, my owl wings became white. we turned white and I was already ready for battle, but before any movement an owl, larger than normal, flew towards me with an ax in its claws, leaving it close to me, I crouched down and took the ax in my hands.

-For life, death, darkness and balance. May the moon be witness, that only one will emerge victorious!

Saying that I launched myself towards the serpent man, he looked at me with a mocking face.

- May the best win. And I'm sure it will be me. Because I never lose!

He said taking a sword that was stuck on his back, and struck a blow close to my neck, I dodged with the help of the axe, I turned and my ax was close to his neck, but without me noticing a snake was approaching silently behind me , she already had the boat ready, I only realized that she was behind me when the boy who had my ax around his neck, looked at something behind me and said.

-Attack his heart. So that he suffers!

I closed my eyes and waited for the attack, but out of the corner of my eye I saw an owl approaching and attacking the snake, everything happened so fast, and soon the snake was dead, when the boy saw that one of his precious snakes was dead, he waved his hands and a skeleton ran the owl through with a gun, and the owl, exploded into a blue dust... It just exploded and there my heart broke, tears screamed out of my eyes, my chest tightened and I knew that something inside me had broken. My tears doubled and I threw myself on the ground crying, my tears only increased when I saw that beautiful owl, I took a human form, that beautiful owl was actually a beautiful woman that I recognized from anywhere, that picture in my father's diary , that owl was my mother, my mother who disappeared in a cloud of bluish dust, my tears only increased...A light appeared behind me and grew more and more, that light grew more and more, and when it finally touched each enemy they exploded in bluish flames, they finally gave an order, and with that surge of strength, I collapsed in tears again, my eyes closed and I felt two people hug me and without having to look I already knew who they were, at that moment Collin and Darrow were being my strength, and there crying I fell asleep ... 

"Everything faded away and I was left in darkness, with no more dreams I just woke up.
