Those present widened their eyes, the news was not at all pleasant and more than justified all the trouble caused for the meeting to take place. Rey was taken by surprise when the old man mentioned his name and, oddly enough, the ones who looked at him disapprovingly were his two siblings, Katherine and Mijan.

Ehimus, Heroclades, Maryam and Wulfgang looked happy for some reason.

The Great Wise Wizard said:

"This is not the first time such an attack has happened. With my power I can regulate the entrance of the invaders, and so the guardians of the site can take care of them until the night comes and all the alien bodies end up consumed in the infinite century of destruction. By wind, fire, snow, water and mud, the invaders will be devoured and become the magnificent compost that keeps the site looking so wonderful."

Ehimus, with the happiness of someone who missed a good time, remarked:

"Well, a bit of action! Whoo! What do you say we help the guards so you don't have to work so hard to hold back the invaders' entrance?" she said with encouragement, more than she was used to being seen with.

The Great Wise Wizard, opening his eyes and adjusting his beard, replied:

"Your help will not be amiss, but my duty is to ensure your safety. If you want to fight, it is up to you."

"Ignore the attitude of these two sourpusses," said Heroclades. "A good fight makes you forget your troubles" referring first to Mijan and Katherine, then he pointed to the wolf, the vampire and the elf. "We insist and we need it. Besides, the ones who brought those bounty hunters from the other side were us, in the first place, so we have to solve the problem we left half-finished.

The Great Wise Wizard, as one who gives in to a risky proposition because he trusts others, stated:

"Given the insistence, I will accept your help. Although, for the second time, I must insist that I am not responsible for the safety of those who are not at this point," he said at the same time that the sky of the place was split in two and a whole gigantic arm was present.

All around, hundreds of thousands of decrepit and naked bodies invaded the sky and the plains giving a war cry. Wulfgang, baring his teeth in a grin, said:

"Break formation; from now on you are authorized to do what you are accustomed to do... Fight, kill and conquer no matter what!" said to give the signal to those present.

Heroclades, Ehimus, Mijan and Katherine disappeared, but Maryam remained. That one, who was also eager to fight, stayed behind because her maternal instinct demanded it. She, well troubled, said the following words:

"I must protect the little ones! I have to make sure they stay here. In the only safe place."

Dante, having found another opportunity, launched an explosive comment:

"I want to go to my master! He may need me!!!".

At his son's claims, Wulfgang laid his hand on the vampire's shoulder. The wolf wanted his wife to have a little confidence in his son, as he needed to learn what real combat was. To "come down from the cloud" in which he was floating, as they had already discussed. Dante, as one who wanted attention to validate his point, exclaimed as he held out his hands as one who was showing something obvious:

"Mother!"

Maryam retorted with an angry cry:

"I will not allow it!"

The vampire, who always smiled no matter the situation, had for the first time wiped the smile off her face in front of her children and those present. That was how serious the moment was. Rey was the only one among the little ones who understood the magnitude of the trouble his brother was getting himself into simply for believing that father had more authority than mother.
