Rey De-Heavens (English)

11.1

Maryam could do nothing but hug her children and cry. She did not want to let them go. Although the mountain shook, the sky darkened and a whole rain of enemies swarmed the place, the mother refused to let go of her children. She had a great inner fear, the fear that her children would die and that she could do nothing because she did not love them. She believed that perhaps with "reunification" she could foster the love she felt. But how could she love her children if she hadn't had enough time to be a mother?

The ligers, the site's first line of defense, fought fiercely along with the other guardians who did their best, but evidently it was not enough. The rumble of a sequence of explosions was heard. The mother realized that perhaps it was not such a bad idea to leave them. The situation was so delicate that she might not be able to protect her young. Letting them go off to fight so prematurely might be another way to lose them. But, as Rey and her husband had said in their words, it was time to let them go, "We need a chance for you to love us as your children." Maryam, in the face of time passing slowly and all the ambient sounds that muted, decided to say:

"Listen well...don't be irresponsible. If it's easy to take a life, it's just as easy to lose the one you have. Stay back and wait for us to finish with everyone. Do you hear me?! They don't belong to the group yet and I don't trust them.

The mountain shook and trembled again until it split in two. Wulfgang flashed the smile he was holding back and after igniting his body, which doubled in size and became covered in fire armor, he disappeared ready to fight. The vampire continued:

"Did you hear me!" she repeated as she shook Dante to answer the question.

Dante reluctantly responded by averting his gaze:

"Yes."

A gigantic hand covered by hundreds of limbs, belonging to a hideous creature, tried to attack the five individuals gathered at the top of the mountain. The Great Wise Wizard made a whole barrier that destroyed in a thousand pieces the flesh and bones that tried to attack the place. As a result, a torrent of blood bathed the sphere and isolated the place from all divine light that illuminated during the day.

Maryam drew out her immense wings and unfurled as she absorbed the shadows and, with them, covered herself with black armor. Levitating in the air, her face deformed and showed the ferocity of an animal that shot through the barrier like a bullet. The vampire raised her left hand to the sky and swallowed all the divine glow remaining in Heaven, while with her opposite hand she accumulated and solidified the blood of the creature that screamed for the absence of its hand until it was dissected. With the giant's blood, she created a thousand swords and also a sharp net that spread everywhere.

Rey could see that both his mother and the others were fighting, not to survive or protect or feel in danger, but rather as the only way they would let go of all the frustrations they had built up so far. Maryam swallowed the glow and made the darkness her strength, power and mobility, but only as far as the violent sea of flames reached. Among the fire, moving from side to side, was Wulfgang, who set the entire forest ablaze causing the ground on the opposite side of the battlefield to turn to lava, only as far as the charred logs. Among the wood, Ehimus sat on the shoulder of one of many small giants and a whole prison of vines that ran as if they were a whirlwind, and no longer extended to the other side in white flashes. Where the furrowed earth began, Katherine, with the edge of her gigantic sword, cut through the middle and froze with black ice on the sides, even the distant trees that made up the Ever-Changing Forest. On the other side of the black ice, Mijan filled everything in his path with holes, explosions and flashes and from the earth to the sky with a gigantic floating artifact of humanoid form, almost as big as a mountain. At the end of the circle, between Mijan and Maryam, was Heroclades, who flooded the entire area with an overflowing river of black wolves that devoured, clawed and exploded everything in its path.
