Rey De-Heavens (English)

13.2

"Indeed" replied the Great Wise Wizard. "But don't worry, I can assure you that the weapons they possess are quite resilient."

Rey narrowed his eyes, perhaps Dante's catana and Jhades' pistols were ruled by these words, but his doll's eyes were not. The old man was hiding the truth and the proof was the dents that could be seen on the edge of his weapons. An enraged sound caught the attention of those present on the mountaintop. It was the warning before the violent impact of a huge creature against the opposite side of the hill that shook everything. Thanks to the absence of trees at the foot of the hill, the little ones ran and without much effort saw something that escaped their knowledge. A small giant wearing full armor. In an unconcerned tone, the Great Wise Wizard said:

"A Cerbro, it seems to be the last of the enemy. That creature is a direct son of the Hecatonquiros.... Reckless though they are, there are few left, due to the wars between gods and titans; they were the ones who constantly suffered the most losses. Stay out of danger as your mother warned you; I am going to take a look at the residence to see how Silvia is...."

As he was leaving the old man thought: "The change of energy and emotions create involuntary reflexes in your body, as well as they can also generate micro-impressions.... Someone who is experiencing an energy deficit and knows it emotionally, you can't hide it, or run away, or fight... There is only one option left. It would be very inconvenient for me to have something happen to them being under my care, wouldn't it? Rey, I don't expect you to let me down, you know what you have to do."

Rey kept his eyes on the old man who was jocularly leaving and no doubt he was up to something. The moment was approaching, he had to be prepared, but "for what?" he wondered. It was not very difficult to deduce what the old man was thinking, since the way he was withdrawing made it very obvious. "He is moving away so that, when something happens, he won't be guilty...".

"A cruel world awaits you in which a weapon means a very great advantage when fighting.... Look at me as the life that is preparing you for what is coming.", words spoken and they left me with a bitter taste... Those whom I love and esteem are my weakness. The thread of the dress Edith told me about... now everything matches. This is what it was always about. As someone reincarnated I cannot die until I fulfill a purpose, but those around me will suffer the consequences of my actions. What would my purpose be? When can I die? I don't have the answer, but at least now I think I know what's coming... but...."

The gigantic beast rose as quickly as it could to, in one leap, destroy the ground and return to the place from which it was fired.

"I feel bound by the fear of the uncertain and the extreme caution of losing those around me," the little one with dull white eyes said to himself for a moment. "This feeling, the anguish my inner self feels that I might lose something, acts as a kind of boundary that only limits what I can become. I have truly been left in your hands. Curse you Great Wise Wizard, how will I ever know my limits in the cruel world that awaits me? Those limits that I must eventually test to move forward if I must first protect something. Perhaps I could be so much stronger if I had nothing to lose. The road is lonely. So, now that I have become more flawed in his eyes, where will be the best place for me to wait for the moment when it all happens. Yes, his words were always warnings," the little boy with no last name said to himself as he watched White at his side.

"Tell me, Rey, aren't you afraid of the fear of doing nothing and also being able to lose something forever?" asked White.

"Yes," replied Rey.

White, as if she were a frustrated woman:

"I used to survive on a simple basic instinct to satiate and indulge my body's needs. But I experienced death and became aware of something: I realized that I didn't live as long as I wanted to have lived by your side. Don't make my mistake and give yourself up to what you don't know by simply thinking about what you can become. I am with you precisely because I became the frontier that protects you from suicide and also from your enemies. Fight if you are going to fight, discover your limits if you want to discover them, but all this within the margins of living a future. A future together forever...
