Chapter 2

Story From the Past

A few months of hard work, pain and suffering passed. Where the wounded thief did nothing but take care of his wounds and get as far away from Kemet as possible, a difficult thing given the severity of his wounds and the scorching heat of the desert. But out of sheer willpower and stubbornness he got out of problems, but currently he had one specifically that he did not know how to solve.

"Well ... I think I'm not in Kemet anymore ... But I have no idea where the hell I am" - he thought to himself as he was sitting under one of the plants that grew in the oasis that he found luckily, while eating fruits that found in it. A horse and camel that he had stolen with a lot of work some time ago, and they served as transport and to load provisions they were around grazing and drinking water from the oasis, the thief was somewhat wet from the bathroom that was given to return after taking enough water and I fill all his reserves - "I have never strayed so far from Kemet ... Damn, I despaired a bit with that of moving away from the region to avoid confrontations with any follower of the pharaoh."

I sigh as I closed my eyes lying down to rest my body from the long journey I had made until now - "my wounds are almost healed, the one that was worse was my chest and that one hardly exists anymore ... The others have already healed completely - he was still lost in his thoughts enjoying the cool breeze and shade that the strange place provided" - now what do I do? Where am I going? ... I am certainly very lost, I have never strayed or left so much of Kemet and I certainly do not know this place

Akefia opened her eyes after her rest and straightened her posture, looking at the animals that were also taking a well-deserved rest - "I have to plan what to do with those pharaoh pets ... Damn they are too powerful, what could I get her to do to him? in the face of such monstrous amounts of power ... Tsk! Zork bastard you dare to die leaving me like this ..." - He stared for a while looking into space as if looking for the answers to his questions and problems - well! I will not do anything sitting here and I already feel that I rest enough and took care of what remains of my injuries ... Time to get going I have to find something in this desert ... I refuse to continue lost and doing nothing here - He said to the air, getting up and collecting his things and animals, in addition to picking up some fruits that he could consume throughout the day.

- Time Skip -

After a few hours of aimlessly riding just looking for something familiar or something other than rocks and sand. Already somewhat boring of the monotonous landscape the thief gets off the horse to walk a little and see if this way he saw something. A while passed in the same way and Akefia was already screaming in frustration, until a movement to his left makes him turn his gaze suddenly. Since this was the only thing he had seen in that desert hour, he decided to investigate, of course keeping his weapons close to him for protection.

Riding his horse in a hurry, he went in the direction where he had seen the movement, but when he got to the right place, he couldn't see anything. Without giving up, he continued riding through that area looking to find what he saw moving earlier, until in the distance he seemed to see a kind of tall construction and with enthusiasm to see more than just sand, he went to the site to find out what it was.

When he arrived he saw a construction that he had never seen in his life. A gray, white, and black multi-story building; with vines of what looked like silver and decorated with various precious gems, the doors and various windows also seemed to bear the same theme, with the sales frames and the silver door with precious stones. A giant door that in itself shone like the most expensive of the crystals, reflecting all the colors in contact with sunlight, along with the various silver and beading vines made for an even more spectacular view of the building.

Flowers, shrubs and trees that I had never seen grow in the desert could be seen everywhere around the construction, giving the place an ethereal appearance. Akefia's thief's mind was in shock for so much treasure without any kind of guardian, he was practically giving it away. Without taking much precautions or thinking about the logic of the matter, he sets out to take some of the closest large gems, without clearly noticing the dark shadow that appears behind him. When he realizes this, he can do no more than turn around and hear a voice.

Sleep

I hear him say from a deep and monotonous voice, instantly he began to feel dizzy and his eyes began to close. Although he tried to fight the sensation, there was not much he could do before the darkness swallowed him up and he fell to the ground. The figure when he saw that the man fell disappeared into a black hole that formed in the air, below where Akefia was also a black hole formed where his body was swallowed.

- Time Skip -

After a while Akefia began to regain consciousness in his environment, the first thing he felt was the softness of where he was lying. Tired and with discomfort, he snuggled a little more in the softness that he had never felt before, and he tried to fall asleep again. Until a small part of his brain began to work and reminded him that the last time he knew about himself he was in the middle of the desert and lost, and that in the middle of the desert there were no soft things to lie down on. So standing up suddenly, he begins to check his surroundings, finding a pleasant but somewhat monotonous room. It only had the bed where it was, a small table on one side of the bed and a carpet that came out from under the bed, all in the colors white, gray and black.

With some fear he began to try to locate where he was, he also tried to remember exactly the last place where he was. With a small amount of fear, I recall the encounter with the strange building and the dark voice that I heard before everything vanished around him. Although he was still a little confused as to why he was in a comfortable bed and not in a rotting dungeon, he certainly wasn't going to complain just looking for a way out of his situation. When he was about to get out of bed to go out, he hears the voice around the place again.

I see that you are already awake thief, I would not recommend leaving the room I am afraid that you could get lost in the place and it would be a nuisance to have to look for you from any place you enter. Not to mention the problems you could get into by touching what you shouldn't, don't make your stay more annoying than it should be

Startled to hear that deep, dark voice again he looks around nervously, not really seeing who he was talking to yet again gathering his usual courage question - get out of wherever you are! I won't listen to you or talk to you until I see you

You are right, I have spent so long without really seeing another being that I forget some common things I apologize.

Akefia had a few seconds of silence before the door became a kind of black hole through which a tall figure emerged as floating in space and covered in a somewhat torn black cape at the bottom, the figure could not be seen no defined features or body shape. The room at its entrance became noticeably colder, behind the blackness disappeared leaving the door as it was - are you the one who was talking to me earlier? What the fuck am I doing here? - I ask without noticing his nervousness about the spectrum that appeared

I am simply the guardian of this place, and you are here to prevent you from doing something you will regret. Also it would be a nuisance for me to clean your remains after your death for stealing something from this place thief

Swallowing thick by the spoken words and more knowing that he had no ability to defend himself currently, Akefia began to think about the options he had to get out of there alive. Desperately he realized that he didn't have many options, so he sought to continue talking to the spectrum to get more information regarding the place and situation - are you a guardian? Am I inside that rare construction that I found before? What is this place? I've never seen a place like this

Right, I am the guardian of this place and it is certainly the same one that you encountered on the road earlier, although it is certainly strange that you saw it in the first place. It is impossible for normal humans to see this place, although I suppose that your great magical abilities and your little connection to shadow magic made it possible for you to find it. And to answer your last question, this is a satuary that my teachers built to create contact with humanity, although I have orders to slightly prevent humans from finding it.

Already a little calmer noticing that the specter had no intention of attacking him yet continues with his questions - if your teachers do not want humans to enter this place why did you put me here in the first place? And who are these teachers of yours?

My orders are to make it as difficult as possible to find the sanctuary for humans, but once someone finds it I must welcome him and attend to him. I am not allowed to give a lot of information about my teachers, the only thing I will say is that you can refer to them as Master Hikari and Master Yami.

And will I meet these teachers of yours? I guess they are not their real names ... And I think they would be happy that the thief who tried to rob them is in this place - the last thing he said to himself but even so the ghost heard his words

You will not find yourself in this place, they have not set foot in this satuary for centuries. And surely they would not care if you tried to rob them, since if you were successful you would not be here talking to me

Ha! And who was going to stop me? Your? I don't know what you are but I won't fall without a fight! - He blurted out at the creature, although later he regretted having done it remembering its vulnerable state, even with its brave facade it was preparing for anyy attack

You are a curious human and you have great magical abilities, and your personality is fun ... I like you. You will see this place is covered from head to toe with pure dark and light magic working together but without mixing completely, from there the small amount of magic of the shadows that you feel in the environment is generated. Every stone, metal and marial with which this sanctuary is built is bathed with the powerful powers of my teachers, I don't know if you know but it is never a good idea to steal things from a dragon. So I really don't really care that you steal something here, I was more concerned later on having to collect your remains.

I really want to see your teachers come to try to kill ... - he stopped for a moment in his place processing all the information received, when he really caught one of the things said by the spectrum - DID YOU DRAGON? IS YOUR MASTER A DRAGON? - I scream with anger and hatred

If my Master are two very powerful dragons, and they don't really need to seek to kill you. The only curse caused by taking the treasure of a dragon would produce your death

What are your masters called? Tell me their names! - I demanded angrily - no better ... Confirm me, are the damn Ra and Slifer? Tell me! And you tell me where the bastards are to drag scale by scale to those lizards!

I don't know what problem you have with those two dragons and I don't know their location, but they are not my teachers. If they are the same species and at some point they encountered the last Egyptian dragons, but that does not mean that they know the location of their lair. Nor do I know the location of my teachers' lair in fact.

Your masters are two other strong dragons ... - I processed a second what I heard, however I ask almost instantly - like what last dragons? They certainly have size and power, but they are not the only ones in Egypt .. There are several other dragons out there, I have seen them ... Pharaoh is not the only one with powerful pets ...

Those "dragons" that you are used to seeing are not true dragons, they are only somewhat large reptiles created from human magic in resemblance to the true dragons of yesteryear. Royal dragons are majestic creatures that are born with pure natural magic, with knowledge and powers beyond your imagination. The beasts that you are used to seeing have no greater ability to reason than a common cat, contrary to the real ones that have in harmony their animal instincts and ability to think on par or even greater than human.

Ah ... Then there are other dragons equal to those of the pharaoh ... And where or how could I find them? - He asked while different plans were going through his head - and are they as strong as the pharaoh's?

My masters are certainly strong, but I don't know the level of power that Egyptian dragons possess. But they are not equal to those two dragons, they are not Egyptian dragons. As for their location, I am afraid I do not have it, the satuary moves from time to time and they do the same. That is why after so long it is difficult to give some kind of location, I can help you simply with an amulet and charm that will help you search for them if you really want to search for them.

Why do you keep saying that pharaohs are Egyptian dragons and they are not? They are not from here? - I ask curiously, since the previous anger or nervousness had passed the background

They are not from this land, they were not born or spent a long time around here. The dragons allied to the pharaoh were born from the primordial elements for this land, and carry their representative names to it; dragons like Ra were born from the fire and heat of the sun; while those who are like Slifer were born from the same land.

This well understood that the dragons here were born from things that we value, but then from where were your masters born? - said the thief confused

To explain that, you must know that the elements where the dragons are born are not important just because humans like you value them. Their importance lies in that they are the most important sources of magic on the planet, and dragons were born to balance those energies in the world. While Ra and Slifer have strong magic cores, Ra from the rays of the sun and Slifer from the Egyptian land itself. My masters are different; one of them gets his power from light and shadow, wherever these elements are he gets power and magic; the other is made of pure darkness and darkness, wherever these elements are he is most powerful.

Ah ... I like that dark master of yours - he said to himself absentmindedly - if they are so powerful, why are they the pets of the bastard pharaoh? - He asked with a mocking expression

I have no information on the circumstances by which the Egyptian dragons formed their bond with royalty or what kind of contract they have, although I can assume that it was to keep them safe or to help peace regarding the situation that happened many years ago. My masters have certainly never formed a bond with any human, they simply detached themselves from the situation and any discomfort that occurred was treated harshly.

What is the situation that happened so long ago? - At this point Akefia had reclined in the comfortable bed and listened intently to the specter talking

To answer your question I need to tell you a story. This happened before even the great dynasties like the ones you know were born, at that time humans formed small self-sufficient villages that had the oldest as rulers. Also at that time the true dragons were much more numerous than those that currently exist and lived in harmony with humans. There were even villages that cared for and venerated entire families of these in exchange for protection for their lands.

Everything was peace and tranquility, but as the good does not last forever, discontent began to form over the years on the part of the two species. Some humans began to think that dragons were beings too powerful to run freely, while some dragons thought that humans were pathetic and did not deserve all the help they gave them.

To calm this discontent on both sides and avoid bloodshed, an agreement was reached that some volunteer dragons form fellowship contracts with some humans who could bear the great magical burden of being in that type of connection with a dragon. Humans, being more exposed to magic, began to develop their own magical powers and from there on, human sorcerers were born.

These dragons would be the protection and bridge between the rest of the dragons and the humans. While the remaining dragons could go with peace of mind that humans would not disturb them. From that, a few years passed in peace until the humanod realized the great power that the dragons granted them, so they sought to change the contracts and turn the dragons into simple exclavos.

They succeeded and began enslaving as many dragons as they could, killing those who did not submit using the dragons they had already exclaimed. When the dragons that separated from humans realized the situation, almost the entire species was already in the hands of humanity. War broke out between the two races causing much bloodshed on both sides.

But humans in their power struggle did not realize the evil they were doing to themselves and to the rest of the world. Dragons were not made to be exclaved, so they began to weaken and die, those who were born in that state did not live for more than a few years and thus the dragons began to extinguish quickly. That brought terrible consequences, dragons are beings made of pure magic and were the ones who kept the balance in the world with respect to magic. The sorcerers began to see their powers diminish to the point that it was not possible for them to form complicated spells, and other magical races were born like the demons you already know because of the imbalance that existed in the lands.

The humans realizing what they had done sought to free and heal the dragons that they had exclaimed without success, it was too late for them to save them. With that began the search for the few dragons that were free, but they in their bitterness disappeared from the face of the earth and kept all the magic of the world to themselves, leaving humanity to its fate.

The earth collapsed due to the lack of that important vital energy and demons abounded, killing and destroying defenseless humans without magic. Until a few began to ask the dioces for help and forgiveness for the evil they had done, these seeing the state of the earth and the sincerity of human repentance sought and spoke with the dragons to help restore the balance of the world . With varying degrees of discontent the dragons returned and began the hard work of healing the earth.

They sealed some demons in themselves and others left them to wander under certain conditions to help with the distribution of energy in the world. Also, as there were so few living dragons, these sanctuaries were created, which are basically extensions of itself that help the magic balance. For this purpose, new temporary support contracts were formed with human families chosen by the gods themselves, however, in the middle of this process, some dragons such as Ra and Slifer took a little trust in some humans again and managed to form a fixed support contract. .

I do not know if that eternal connection with a dragon influenced by the leaders of their region later becoming. Other dragons had hardly completed their work, they broke all contracts and connections with humans and disappeared again somewhere in the world, only leaving these sanctuaries to have a link to this land. Only returning every so often so as not to affect balance again. Thus the world and humans prospered and even some were reborn with magic, although they were less than in the past.

I suppose your masters were some of those who broke their contracts and left, right? - I ask absorbed in the story

My masters were a different case from everyone else as they were the last dragons of light and darkness, without them the earth was not going to be the same again. When the gods spoke to them on behalf of humanity they absolutely refused, they did not care about the fate of humanity. Master Hikary alleged that humans were murderers and deserved to perish for their crimes, while Master Yami said that they were worthless treacherous scum and would not lift a finger to help such a pathetic species that if they all died they would do him a favor. world.

In the end, the gods managed to convince them to help Master Hikary, explaining that he would not only help humanity but also all the creatures on the planet who did not deserve to pay for human errors, and he felt regret for the rest of the animals and plants that were suffering for fault of the situation.

And Master Hikary helped the gods convince them to help Master Yami. But the two placed the strict condition of wanting nothing to do with humans. The gods, taking their feelings into consideration, allowed them to work totally free as long as they helped as much as possible to remedy the balance. So they never formed a contract with a human.

The thief was surprised to hear that, he always thought that no matter who he is or how much power you have, the mandate of a god was final and you could not refuse - hey I understand that humans were bastards, but I want to know if you can tell me why they hate humans so much that they could let the world die before helping - when it ends his stomach rings making him blush slightly

I suppose it's time for you to eat, I'll bring you something to eat and then I can answer more of your questions.

Hey not important ...! - I did not finish saying anything when seeing how the spectrum left without hearing a word.

With this we come to the end of the chapter!

Hope you like! And anything you don't understand ask me!

For the specter who was talking to Akefia imagine Dementor of Harry Potte (doesn't belong to me by the way either)

Until a next chapter!
