The traveler moves constantly, although slow he does not stop following him, he is a seeker and at the same time a dreamer, an architect of the future or a prophet of the past, he wants to find answers to the decisions he must make, sometimes getting lost in the reflections of the where, when and why more than you can count, but the traveler doesn't mind taking time but searches the deepest places in the universe where our minds run wild in imagination with the possibilities of what there, the traveler seeks. solutions or problems.
Everything begins in the dark, beyond above us is an infinite blanket of perpetual darkness which we call the void, a vastness of possibilities, contrary to what its name says, empty is not found.
like the openings of a helmet, points of light that are small to the eyes, but in reality are only a limited observation, brilliant with an intensity that thousands of years away their existence is remarkable to the traveler and with a warmth superior to that of a thousand smelting furnaces, they give color and splendor to their surroundings the stars are objects of wonders of constant observation, for the keen eye they are indeed the pearls of the universe.
But the journey between them could take more than a hundred lives to go, that when you reach one, she may be dead and her light is the only thing left of her.
The traveler looks at everything and with a thought he took a shape to his liking to delve into the less explored paths, like a long-span snake with fine diamond scales changing colors, a hood that resembles a headdress of crystalline feathers and eyes of fire prepare to follow.
As his counterpart tracks his prey through the thickness of the forest, safely and patiently challenging a trace of intangible and esotericism, a flash in his periphery called him Looking more carefully among a group of stars an insignificant light that has nothing special , but that vibrates with a constant force attracts it.
Approaching a star with its perfect roundness like the others and a yellow color so warm that it transmits such an attractive sensation, a blue and green marble spins near it, a forgotten planet appears, from its surface two irregularities can be seen, two dragons, one with a thick body and extended wings, the other similar to the one with a serpentine body, but with a majestic bearing.
The planets are like the stars a matter of constant observation from which one can learn, but this conveyed a different sensation, turning his head he saw other stars that were not there before, four that horrified him to see them, one red as blood that beats with anger , a sickly green that dimmed its light like a wound that oozes another that in an impossible way was a kaleldoscope that twists everything around it and the last one a small but full of horror like most of all the shrill or soft purplish tones that They reflected sensuality and idol.
The traveler saw eight other known stars but which I do not know because of what was in front of him, the four evil manifestations were grouped above the forgotten planet, suddenly others joined them, this one is amethyst in color, presenting death and damnation, another one appeared with a blink of the amber color it beat with a typical fury of beasts, at six o'clock they form a crown or rope on the small plant which spins madly passing night and day in a matter of seconds, it seemed to the traveler like an animal trying in vain to save its life from the jaws of the predator, the lower the ring spun and the madness more it was, continents torn like flesh, forests in giant flames, mountains crushed at the foot of a giant, dry seas turned into valleys of death,the cries of thousands who cried out for help or mercy could be heard in the distance and in the background of everything cruel laughter resounded throughout.
The traveler saw everything with an icy calm, everything, but something moved in the depths of his being, he didn't have so many disasters, he shouldn't exist.
as if the end of a world meant nothing to him he paid attention to what he didn't see there was always something hidden in this and with a thought he spread his sight like a net seeking to catch something, with another thought he sank his senses like the roots of a tree on the scene peering into every nook and cranny looking for an answer, after a moment that would seem like an eternity he took one last look at the tiler landscape before closing his eyes.
The traveler moves, although slow, he is constant, he is a seeker and dreamer, architect of the future or prophet of the past, he seeks answers to decisions, the traveler seeks solutions or problems and apparently found something, but it is of no good.
In the darkness of a clear night, a figure looks up at the starry sky at the top of a box, lonely and silent, the firmament remained observed, some lights in metal platters arranged in the corners of the box acted as its only light along with that of the stars.
they crackled with the occasional wind the fire gave off an acrid smell that together with the heavy humidity of the climate gave a feeling of discomfort, but for Iktan-ikal it was nothing, for the skink priest the environment was nothing more than a pleasant breeze and like such did not interfere with his obligations.
I look through the lens of his huge telescope made of bronze, he continued his research, I watch as the stars were grouped, they interpreted a series of events that were part of their duty to know what these were or would be, because in the night skies an intrinsic part of the cosmos alone I would know.
He saw how the traveler's star of a white color seemed to be closer to the constellation of the centaur, how the majayec had more vivid colors and how a beautiful turquoise star seemed to be.
Averting his gaze from the stars, he scratched between its blue scales with one claw while emitting a hiss, then took a tattered parchment from a nearby pile, reading its contents while looking through the powerful lens of the telescope sandwiched between the two, he drew his long tongue to lick the drops of moisture that were there on his scaly skin even though it was more of a habit that he had developed over time than he did when he is very concentrated, this same concentration left him vulnerable for a current of energy to take his mind by surprise leaving him still He felt its heat hit the ground uneasily, the air come out veils from his nostrils and his eyes dilate, for him the current of energy was not unknown, but a magic released was not what left his senses so restless, but with the purpose of magic,a call.
When he recovered from his stupor, he turned to go to the stairs that led down, but by two figures coming towards the stop, one is a skink that was dressed in priest's clothing and the other was a strong-armed saurian. limbs covered in scars that carried a beast skull on his head, next to the spear and the skin shield he knew that it was a saurian guard, both looked at Iktan-ikal but not a single word was said quickly the three marched quickly to his new destination, this only increased his concern.
Iktan-ikal and his two companions walking through the corridors of stone and sandstone blocks illuminated by the torches on the walls, their shadows were dark blurs because of how fast they were going, they zigzagged through the complex corridors that led to a large room, they saw the night through some windows The star that saves did not attract his attention, they continued deeper into the great structure of their temple, on their way they met other lizards that patrolled the area and skinks that carried tablets or scrolls, one in particular a red-crested skink that was going loaded with tablets he did not see them approaching and almost collided with them, but with typical skink agility he was able to avoid them, hopping on one leg as he turned and balanced his load, the red crested let out a series of nasty clicks and hisses.
They arrived at a crossroads, turning the corner along one of these paths that was larger, leading to other corridors and a large door, their destination.
At least seven meters high and an equivalent width, the great door is closed with two saurian guards at both ends of it guarding them, approaching Iktan-ikal he could see the carvings in the stone of the portico, they showed scenes of great importance to them. , with a step further forward the door began to open lightly without making a single noise when it was fully open Iktan-ikal and his companions entered quickly.
The room seemed simple in appearance, except for its large size or the number of occupants, it was illuminated by moonlight that entered through a skylight in the vaulted ceiling from which censers hung that released a smell of flowers and herbs. of different types, silence prevailed in the place together with its occupants, dozens of skink priests who waited standing with necklaces of bone, beads and gold shimmering with colorful feather headdresses on and one or the other with a cane, together to several intimidating-looking and well-armed saurian guards that remained motionless next to the pillars that supported the roof, one draws attention to the others by carrying a skull which is crowned by a pair of sharp curved horns and a larger portion of gold armor ,what is most striking was the scar that almost gouged out one of his eyes but now it is a mark of honor and fulfillment this together with the broad blade of his ax were his most distinctive characteristic of grraktar eternal guard and defender of the constellation breath of Dracothion .
But the most important character was resting on his throne, attended by a court of skinks and accompanied by grraktar the great slann magician who has been in meditation for a thousand years awake.
Little by little Grogtek opened his eyelids welcoming them to the physical mute, throwing a deep grunt he greeted all his servants present who instantly knelt even grraktar and his saurians did, he looked around him pleased that his call was attended to so diligently.
As helpful as dedicated as ever, the slann thought with a heavy chest at seeing them left alone for so long. with his thought with a movement of his plump arm he called his faithful servants who advanced towards him nervously, the priests were the first to approach but they were stopped by a furious growl and the edge of an ax stuck in the ground, grraktar avia made an appearance with his eternal guard duty, showing his propensity for violence.
The skinks returned the deal by hitting their sticks against the ground and launching furious bravado, but in the end they gave way behind there was no bad blood between them they understood that it was their obligation, but the attitude of the eternal guard could exacerbate anyone but for He brought comfort to him knowing that everything was dry the same, with another action of his hand he calmed the mood in the room and drew everyone's attention, he began to recount his journey beyond everything he saw and he did not see the end of what he brought the curiosity of many asking why he told him the vision of the lost planet.
"Why?" were the words the slann gurgled, then proceeded with another story
This time he said if he had found it and where it came from, a new silence calls the room the skinks were restless clicking and hissing at the aforementioned vision, questions and comments were given among themselves, while the lizards remained as always without showing or a single emotion immobile as statues, his word had brought only chaos contrary to what he was looking for looking up I observed the moon whose light filtered into the camera and saw beyond it to the stars remembering the vision and its meaning.
grogtek gave a regretful sigh which caught everyone's attention and the saurians also turned to see him, he could see the concern that was coming towards him, one even grraktar could not hide it, one of the skinks hesitantly approached, but then he gained confidence and advanced with He extended his hand and kneeling down waiting for his orders quickly, the others imitated him, waiting for him and he was not going to make them wait.
The time has come.
