Rey De-Heavens (English)

6.4

Rey closed his eyes. In theory he didn't mind witnessing what death is, he thought. "Turn your back and walk... you'll be able to avoid giving him an answer as to whether I'm rebellious or submissive towards him. Even if that means walking to the most painful destination, it will only make me someone stronger." Making an expression of understanding what was happening, he turned around and, using his means, unraveled that world of the past that was embodied in the present to march back to where his master Heroclades was, who was still telling the story of the past to Dante and Jhades.

"I have no words," the Great Wise Wizard said to himself after breaking his smile and opening two pairs of cold, expressionless eyes as he looked, shattering into pieces, at countless futures that could have been created. "Perhaps all I know is not enough... Without a variable, my calculations will not be able to control you in this, your new life, on this plane or any other. One thing is clear: first I have to find the reason that makes you an irregularity before I eliminate you. The question is how many pawns will I have to sacrifice to get the answer? If you decide to go rogue, I'm afraid a lot. Planets, worlds, planes... but still it would be a necessary price to pay. For now, I must lay my hand to make enemies to slow your pace. Sicken your flesh, your blood and bones... You will also carry with you the curse of having eyes different from those of any being there is and ever will be. Eyes that you will have to show to anyone you wish to look at. That infinite Pythagorean star, floating on a white background around your pupils surrounded by a circle, will be the cause of countless damages to the living beings of the three planes, the symbol of vicious destruction and true evil."

It could be said that everything seemed normal, but the world the Great Wise Wizard saw no one else could. He saw how the little wolf cub, together with the vampire, observed the attitude of his brother as soon as he had finished talking to him. He also saw how the threads holding Rey's limbs caught fire until they cracked and broke into a thousand pieces. With each step, the body that carried a first name and not a last name took control of an unstoppable flame that surged in his heart, unlike the other two.

...

With the conclusion of his epic narrative, as well as the appearance of Mijan and Katherine, Heroclades took the opportunity to mention the name of his distracted disciple.

"Rey."

The little boy looked up, like someone returning to the present.

"Come on... Say goodbye to your siblings. You won't see them again for a long time."

The little boy's teacher looked hurried, he had a tone of someone who wanted to get ahead of the darkness before he ended up in any more entanglements.

Katherine, who was still walking around with her lower garment pulled to one side and traces of wetness still dripping down her legs, looked at Jhades and signaled. Mijan, trying to dress in his one-piece one-piece suit, looked at Dante and waved. They were teachers too, but no words seemed to come out of their mouths that had anything to do with the little white-eyed boy.

Knowing why they were distancing themselves, Rey lifted his gaze to the faces of the two individuals who silently despised him. He then looked at his brothers and could realize how right his master's words were. "They are my brothers now, but after the training, maybe they will no longer be my brothers," Rey thought somewhat overwhelmed. Thereupon, he said aloud:

"Dante, Jhades. It's no big deal, but... I hope to see them again...".

Both the vampire and the wolf cub felt somewhat uncomfortable with the words spoken by the little white-eyed man. With a grimace as a smile and farewell, the two brothers, who did not know what to answer, turned their backs to Rey and marched their separate ways without even looking back.
