Rey De-Heavens (English)

10.1

On the other hand, although Rey raged the expressions on his face like a fighter who was ready to give his all in one last glorious battle, inwardly he felt an immense weakness in his feet. Had it not been for the fact that they were locked in place, he might have fallen on his buttocks from the shock of the horrifying image that appeared within the darkness. "Edith wasn't wrong to be afraid of that thing that could exist under a lake," he said to himself reflectively.

Turning the pages of his book with his mind, Rey stopped on one in particular. Two pages shrouded by thousands of mysteries, many chants and countless strokes that formed the call of one of the most powerful creatures in history. So powerful, terrifying and indomitable that it was among the hundreds of pages that Heroclades had marked as unusable. It was a dragon, according to the books he had read in the Library of Knowledge; this type of creature poetry an intractable rage against any being that were not of their own kind, particularly humans and those that resembled them. Such is the hatred that there is no dragon who would hesitate to trade his life to destroy the object of his wrath.

No wizard in history has ever managed to make a contract with these beasts, the only way they were able to add them to their books was by a method of sealing. Therefore, claiming one means breaking the imprisonment for a short period of time, but the intelligent beast will choose with all its might to curse the user, meaning that claiming such a creature should be its last option, a very risky gamble. Despite the very strong expression with which he was looked at, Rey held his breath and waited a moment in response to any attack.

Nothing was happening, the little boy decided to move the luminous sphere away, but something caught his attention. Neither the huge pupil reacted to the light or the eyes followed it. After lowering the luminous sphere, Rey realized that it was only a decapitated head he was seeing. Next to it were some fingers, a foot, a breast. It was a dismembered body lying at the bottom of the lake. The crime of someone who had wanted to make his victim disappear after killing her.

Rey, with the tip of his foot, moved the stiff body of the feline and, even so, it continued to pretend to be dead. With a half-faced grin, he carried his fainting companion and tried to take steps forward to move the sphere forward on the spot. "Heroclades couldn't relocate if he had his barrier exposed, but it seems it's not that hard to do when I was able to fly. On the other hand, here, maybe because it's a smooth surface, it won't let me pass to advance... What if I create a rough surface with some spikes?"

The little boy succeeded, he didn't quite know how, but he managed to concentrate on creating protruding spikes and, as a result of the traction generated by the sphere, he was able to move forward. Wandering around the place, with several luminous spheres already lighting his way, the little boy saw two things that caught his attention. A golden cup on an altar and a kind of sunken boat far ahead. Rey tried to grab the goblet, but as he included it inside his core, within seconds a torrent of water flooded the interior of the sphere. With no other choice, Rey excluded it from the core along with his arm and returned it to where it belonged and immediately drained half of the water that nearly drowned his furry companion.

On the bright side, the water that remained inside was not as dirty as the water outside. It was clear and warm, so much so that it made you want to take a bath in it. With his hands he scooped up some of the clean liquid and proceeded to groom himself. White looked at Rey as someone who had made a mistake and wanted to cover up her mistake by taking advantage of the situation; if she could talk, she would surely tell him: "Try not to drown me next time". As soon as the little boy finished bathing and cleaning his clothes, he also bathed the little feline who looked at him with accusing eyes. With everything clean, Rey got rid of the water after separating the barrier in two and expanding the part that had air in it while opening the water compartment. Now, for Rey, there simply remained a second thing that caught his attention: the sunken boat. So, he continued on his way.
