Chapter 03: Acts Announced Before The War.
Now I was in a nursing room. I started walking and I saw Ferdinand with a robe lying on one of the beds, his appearance that night was better than they found it. On his left arm had some bags of intravenous injection that should help you improve your condition. Still, I worried. "That was what happened to him?" I noticed that my mother was asleep; lying on one side of the bed, holding his right hand soft not hurt way. Bahir My uncle was asleep on a chair a few feet from the bed. This boy was very special to them both, they were a good family. Notice how Ferdinand started to move and open his eyelids. He saw my mother and my uncle Bahir. His face shows a gesture of joy to note how my mother held her hand. He begins to massage her and my mother starts to open the eyelids. They stare and the words are not necessary to express the joy felt at being. Tears do not wait and both cry and hug. This noise wakes my uncle abruptly at the scene and runs and hugs them both and cries. Like I said, they were a close family. Ferdinand moans a little pain and separate, but my mother still holding her hand. My uncle looks at him in a way that makes you start talking.
- I thought you would not see them again - said, wiping tears from his face.
- We care. We did not know because they were late, if they were always very punctual. - Said my mother who tears his face also cleaned. - What was it that happened? - Ask my mother. He looked at his face I wanted to know every detail of what happened. He sees them and starts talking.
- We sailed the seas amid the storm way here when we were approached by a pirate. They began to attack and kill the entire crew. - Ferdinand's breathing began to stir. My mother calm rubbing his head with his hand. The continuum calm and talking - try to defend but they were many. When six were left, the captain of the ship appears and looks at us, especially my father. He smiles mischievously and speaks saying "You were a friend of the kings of South Island, you took them too many places" My father looks at him and calls him Desdemon The Loro. An anthropomorphic red parrot with arms and legs in black color and was missing an eye. I thought it was a legend but it was real. "He who brought misery to the sea" was told. - He stopped and looks at my uncle Bahir so that seems to say that the following exchange all they know. - Bahir, I need you to answer me something. On the way your parents had to do, that caused their death you and Flames had to accompany them? - Bahir is surprised by this question is dumb. Ferdinand sees him and asks again. – Answer me please. You and Flames should have gone with them on that journey? - Asked in a tone of earnest, steady voice. I see how my uncle is directed at the window and rests his head on it.
- That day, we saw your father a little bored by the journey they had prepared for the kingdom of LifesPool diplomatic functions. I liked those things but I felt bad then and my sister was not interested in being there. After seeing this he tried to convince my parents to let us into the castle and if need be left to care for them. After many talks and convinced them after that day, well ... you know. The rest is history-I saw my uncle rubbed his eyes and looked straight in his eyes Ferdinand. - What does this have to do with what happened to you?
- What happens is that Desdemon said "His mission was to kill four instead of two and so you did not pay me death sate me for the mistake that day." - Again tears flow from the eyes of Ferdinand and see like my mother covers her mouth with that statement - my father takes off his coat and hands it to me. Quickly catch me and throw me into the sea. Swim as fast and walk away from the boat, but I hear the cries of all who remained alive and then nothing. The voices end and I know they all died - and watch the tears Flames who is looking at my uncle is dried.
- Did you know that? - My mother said to my uncle who stopped her and looked at the floor.
- I had my suspicions. Shortly after the death of our parents, the prime minister resigns with the excuse that he could not continue with pain. Back then I did not see any importance but my mind takes me to process this feeling of distrust. After this event LifesPool relations began to decline to the point that there was almost no communication with them. Three years passed before I knew it we had the minister became king by marrying the daughter of the monarch, which soon die mysteriously. - I look like my mother's face into an expression of anger
- You knew that and you did not dare to tell anything after all this time! - And my uncle scream approaches her, grabs her, picks her up and make eye contact.
- What do you want me to do? What pointed the finger shouting the name of a culprit? What started a war without proof? That's what you want. Do not say anything to me because if you hurt I would have shattered. - See how my mother starts sobbing and hugging - Flames, at fifteen I had to take over the whole kingdom. A pressure that I do not desire. But now that these doubts have been cleared it is time I move my pieces. - He sees Ferdinand and my mother. It gives them a smile - Well, since I can woke continue my work. I leave you alone. Do not do anything weird, I mean it. - A laugh out of it to see how my mother and Ferdinand blush to such assumption. He begins to walk out the door, which is open.
- I swam for days; the sun and the rain were my enemy, until my strength was no more. I thought deserved not go ahead and let the ocean swallow me. - My mother looks surprised, but see him smile - amidst all the underwater blur I see the pocket watch you gave me and I get it. At that moment I see the great fairy idiocy I was about to commit. Swim back to the surface and there I see my salvation, a piece of wood floating in the distance. With the little strength I have left trying to reach him. Already being there again I see the clock and that picture of us together gives me hope that I should return home for you and for all. - With his hand begins to gently touch the face of my mother - When I saw the stars I imagined I saw your eyes and these guiding me home and they did. - Shut for a second and then keeps talking - I've been long time thinking about this and then not have anything to doubt. I want to ask you if you want to be my girlfriend. - My mother did not show any expression to what was said - I know I'm not a child of a noble knight or sovereign, but I love you. I love you with all my heart and although I say no, I'll be happy because I told you my feelings and that is ... - I see as Ferdinand is interrupted, not by words but by a passion kiss given by my mother. She sees him and smiles.
- I'd rather spend a minute next to someone I love to spend my whole life without love with some idiot status. - She returns the kiss - Also, if you did not give you what the first step would have. - Said with a small laugh again kiss Ferdinand. They last no more than a minute apart, then I feel someone is behind me I turn around and I see my uncle Bahir that look with a smile on his face. Coughs to call the attention of the couple who looks a little trepidation.
- It's about time. I wondered how much more would have had to wait to show they loved. - Said, laughing for a few seconds but suddenly switches to serious. - Still, you know there are rules that we must follow, and these say that you can pick up your suitors only after 18 years. A tradition I cannot erase decades of overnight. - Says while watching the couple are saddened at these words.
- I cannot be with Ferdinand. - My mother could not believe her ears. Long time waiting for him to ask him a courtship and now all would be lost by some absurd rules.
- I never said that. You can be with him but you cannot let the kingdom knows. That's the only rule and I hope the follow because if they do not ... - I look at my uncle so that scared me - I'll have to discuss with all of the advice on this and that will take hours and hours. That would be bad for me, for you are kissing quietly somewhere and I'll be sitting at a desk with gossip of others. - Said with a look of boredom, which change to happiness and hugged the young couple. I was separated from them and started toward the door until it stopped in the frame, he saw with a smile and point the finger. - Remind you that even if they themselves do not do anything lewd. They are very young. - Said with an even bigger smile on his face outlined
- Enough! - They shouted my mother and Ferdinand at the same time, while my uncle was laughing Bahir retiring place.
The image changed again now showing me many images as if in fast motion. I show my mother with Ferdinand in several places, which I gather they were all appointments. On a boat sailing the shores of the island. In other sitting watching the stars for hours without saying anything, as the kisses were enough for them both. A smile out of me to see how happy she was. Despite being a secret love were willing to wait to be together as they should.
The picture changes again showing me a sort of obstacle course. Many girls were doing warm-up exercises. I find this odd and I see Amy and answer me this.
- This was a kind of competition just for girls from age 11 to age 23 before they stopped making them. The winner can choose between two prizes. A chest with a hundred kilos in gold coins or ask a favor of monarchs. Almost always chose the money. - Answered with a smile. - If the princesses were part of the competition and earned the money was donated to charity. - That seem fair. After all the money would help the needy.
I am looking for my mother in the crowd and when I have not seen the game but I'm surprised to see what was changed. Her body had matured a bit more about how he had last seen. Her waist was thinner and her breasts had grown a few sizes. Notice how Ferdinand, who a little more noticeable Chubby but maintaining their usual dress, and my uncle sat Bahir to observe the competition. While my mother to warm up saw in the distance like a wolf, gray coat with dark blue hair, except put a lock that was clear and blue eyes the color of the tuft, approached her. His dress was a dark green blouse with a white top, pants in olive green hue, lighter at tips, some light green tennis, his gloves are brown with a green line on the wrists and these show the tips of her fingers. My mother stopped what she was doing and stared so hard that the other competitors were afraid to approach them both. Even my scared me. All competitors were called to the starting point. From time to time the bell rings and begin to run the obstacle course. The phases ranged from strength, agility, speed and logic. In each were eliminated as many girls and the last one was my mother and the other girl. The two met in a circle of armor and was given them wooden swords.
- You sure about this, Ébano? - My mother said with a smile to the gray wolf.
- I'm always safe. - Said starting the attack. For several minutes they fought hard with their swords until they broke suddenly. Soldiers began to seek other when Ébano sees my mother and smiles mischievously and takes a real sword armor and yells at my mother. - Why do not we do this more interesting? - My mother said as she grabbed a sword, but he chose was very thin, similar to fencing, in comparison of which Ébano took. Even so, I used those swords and I can ensure that they are strong and very light. The two began a fight that aterro viewers, one false move and anyone could die. I watched as my mother stumbled, falling back. Ébano seized the moment and climb on one of the armor and jumps, pointing his sword to the neck of my mother. All spectators rise, frightened by what they saw my uncle Ferdinand and run towards them. I see this as the sword stuck within an inch of my mother's neck. Ébano eyes showed a glint of bloodlust, as if she would have stopped only by force of will to kill. My uncle fucks Ébano, who away from my mother, and Ferdinand shakes his hand to help her up. I see how these two girls look and Ébano starts talking.
- After four years I've finally won! - Cry wolf, laughing so gloomy. - Now I want my prize. - Term, leaving all outraged by the attitude I take the winner.
- You were about to kill my sister and think ... - he said, but was stopped by my mother grabbed his arm.
- He's right. He won fair and you have to give the award. - Said as he approached Ebony and shook his hand as a sign of respect. Ébano sees this and shakes his hand, squeezing it roughly.
- Well, what I want is for your notes Parties- I see as my mother and my uncle Bahir gets in front of the wolf.
- I am the main monarch and if you want something so ... - Ébano makes a gesture with his hand for him to stop. It makes a signal to my mother to come over and she obeys him. When close she says something in a whisper.
- If you do not let her do that for me I will tell everyone as your sister goes out with a commoner rather Ferdinand said, breaking the tradition of this beautiful island you really want that? - My uncle and my mother are shocked at this - Flames Oh, I want you and your boyfriend in the wild cliff at 10:00 pm. Do not miss. - Started walking away from the crowd.
The picture changes again and showed me the rampant cliff. Noticing that I was on the edge of this jump back like a cat (not anthropomorphic) scared. This place scares me, especially with my fear of heights. Amy looks at me somewhat confused.
- You're a cat and you're afraid of heights, why? - Ask me with uncertainty in his voice.
- For some reason I am terrified girl from high places. In buildings I can only come to the floor number eight before feeling terror. - I answered. Although I feel a little pain on the left side of the head at the time. This pain was gone and I saw my mother came along with Ferdinand. They looked a little scared. After all, their relationship was in danger. At the moment they are turned to feel the presence of someone else. They look like someone with a coat and olive green hoodie, I was watching. This figure is lowered his hood, showing his face, revealing it was Ébano. She looks at him and my mother starts talking.
- How you knew that I have a boyfriend? - Question. I guess my mother believed had been very cautious so that no one knew their relationship.
- Let's just say I'm very observant. - Said with a sly smile. - Since I know you always wanted to better yourself. While you lived in a beautiful castle I had to live on the streets after the death of my mother. My father was not a choice to be with him then. - Start walking to the edge of the cliff - four years began participating in that competition makes all of the above and you won me. That made me create a rage towards you, a rivalry that should satisfy indifferently. And I hate. But, after the end of the skills you were trying to be friendly but I was wrong. - She watches as I started to clench his fists - But now an instinct left me a few weeks ago and almost kill you. In short, you are the team that should win. - She looks like my mother away from Ferdinand and approaches Ébano. The direct look in the eyes before speaking.
- That did not mean we were rivals we could not be friends. - He said, showing a smile. Ébano looks and gives a sad smile.
- Take long to realize that. - Said with watery eyes. My mother takes off her necklace and gives it to the wolf. She smiles and gives him a hug. - Soon will comply eighteen and legally free for our actions. Still, must me a favor and have to grant it, whatever it is. - Mention smiling.
- What would be? - My mother said not bothering. Ébano gazes at Ferdinand and grins.
- I want him to kiss me as I kiss you? - Said. My mother is surprised, like Ferdinand, to what is said.
- Do it, do not care. - My mother says Ferdinand is about the wolf and starts kissing. The kiss lasts a few seconds and separate.
- That was spectacular. You're so lucky - said the wolf, while closer to the shore. - Now I have to go. My father is dying and I need your side now that I'm strong enough. At the end of the day I have to take care of the "Assassin legion ". - These words frighten my mother.
- They are just a myth - Ferdinand said not believing what he was hearing.
- Nothing is true, everything is permitted. That was our best Victoria. Make the world believe that we are a myth. - Ébano looks at the sky with a blank stare - I do not feel in the air. I really do not feel. A war is coming and soon things will change. - She looks back and smiles - It was nice of you to say goodbye. - Look at the time with an expression of terror. My mother along with Ferdinand looking in that direction and see nothing. When she's not turned around. My mother resigned starts walking and then stops. Ferdinand standing in front of her asking what happens to which she replies hitting him with a fireball. He falls, rolling a few feet away. He looks with uncertainty about what happened.
- Why? - Says that doubt in your mind.
- Because you kissed. - My mother says with anger in his voice, walking quickly away from there
- But you said you did not care! - Shout, as he limped trying to reach. I did not know whether to laugh or feel sorry for what happened. So I decided to laugh and Amy followed me along.
The picture changes again and shows me near a port. I see in the distance, hundreds of ships at sea. On land there are many young soldiers preparing many boxes and weapons. I am a little fearful of what happens. In the distance, inside a tent, I see my uncle Bahir, looking put some maps on the table, surrounded by many people.
- We must first reach Inferno Island. If we succeed we will have a strategic point in the defense of this stupid war caused by hatred of the king of LifesPool. - Said my uncle, with a look of remorse knowing where these soldiers, young single die defending the freedom of his nation would. - I've ordered a ban on using radio as they can be traced and pikes. - Said while collecting all maps. - I'm leaving tomorrow at the latest by 6:00 am. You however will guide his troops and try to have a few casualties. - All made a military salute and left. That comes my mother, with sadness in his eyes.
- Please. You do not have to go. You can send to other trust that achieve your plans. - My mother was crying at the time, hugging my uncle, who was also an occasional tear out to see my mother like that.
- I'm sorry. But I cannot, I am the only one who can guide them. Since the monarch LifesPool accept command to kill him, as prime minister in our nation then. This declare war and we almost did not go live there. - Said, looking at his teary eyes that followed.
- At least ask Ferdinand to stay here. Do not want to lose them both. I ... - is interrupted by my uncle.
- He chose to help in this fight. Knows the seas and can save many lives. I cannot change that decision. I'm sorry. - He said, as he gave a kiss on the forehead.
The picture changes again and I'm in the room of Ferdinand, he was asleep when he feels someone touching the window, waking abruptly. Who played the window was my mother. The open, entering instantly, sits on the bed and looks at Ferdinand.
- I'm afraid of losing you and my brother. - Said with his head down, had no strength to see him in the eye
- I will come back. I promise. Back for you - he said, with his hand raised the head of my mother looking at him with a small smile - Happy Birthday. Sorry I have nothing to give. - Said a little sad.
- Anything you can give me. I want you to give me something special I have waited a long time. I happily sleeping next to you and feel your warmth. - She looked at him so that the cold of the place became warm. Ferdinand began to kiss my mother, who lies on the bed and he begins to slowly remove her clothes. I feel completely sorry to see this, but in an instant changes and displays them two embraced and enveloped in a white sheet. They looked so cute in that position.
- Ferdinand. You have five minutes to get ready, we need to go fas ... - my uncle comes abruptly, scaring my mother, and he notices the scene. Go for a few seconds and then turns his back covering the eyes a bit with your hand. - Guess what. Maybe you have thirty minutes to get ready and wait for you on the boat. - Said goodbye to the couple. Ferdinand was standing when he suddenly returned to bed for my mother who is looking.
- He said you had thirty minutes - then started kissing. He took the sheet and full body clothed. The picture changes again and now saw my mother, who looked towards the sea, towards the boat and my uncle Ferdinand Bahir. The green glow of dawn was beginning to be noticeable but she did not want to lose sight. I did not want to lose sight of his family he was going and what's worse is that I did not know if they would.
- He will come back. He promised. He will come back - my mother said to herself as her eyes welled in tears. I could not stand the scene and cried along with Amy. It was a gem in the guise of a friend but did not mean he had a life and feelings. The image changed again and now I know what to expect.
