In response, the dark enemy showed no visible reaction to the warrior's words. It seems that his joke had reached that point. Now, he no longer liked Max's response. The dark energy of this enemy has intensified, as if the air itself vibrates with his magic. Max felt the ring on his finger begin to pulse, just like a racing heart would, and a warm current of energy ran through his body. He knew that he stood on the brink of fighting an epic battle, a fight that would not only determine his fate, but would also determine the fate of his and his world.The ground beneath his feet begins to crack, his threads levitate in the air, suspended by the intensity of the energy emanating from him. The sky, already tinted with an ominous reddish tone, darkened even more, appearing to be the same night that has quickly arrived. The clouds spun into a massive vortex, and deafening thunder rumbled from the distance, announcing that the battle has begun.Max braced himself, adjusting his warrior stan

Out of astonishment, Max could barely believe what he was hearing. After everything that has happened, was it really possible that humanity had been restored in the blink of an eye? Slowly, Max stood up because the entire time he was lying on the ground until he drank the water he sat down so as not to drown. Furthermore, he continued to feel the weight of fatigue on his body, but with renewed hope shining in his eyes.Finally, he is relieved that the guardians have helped him with his mission, and that all that weight off his shoulders for that difficult task to accomplish has finally been done."I... I don't know what to say...", he murmured, looking at the guardians with a mixture of gratitude and disbelief. —After everything that has happened, have we really achieved it?Everyone nodded and smiled, while Lyra had gone to take refuge in the sky, her body levitated at a distance considered where they could see her, but she did not say anything about it, she remained serious above al

Max continues moving among the guests, and when he wanted to get closer to where the guardians were sharing among themselves, he realized that Lyra was leaving without any of them following her as they always used to do, then Max understood everything, and he perceived that Lyra was going to leave there, and she would do it alone, without anyone's company."Lyra! Wait!", Max shouted as loudly as he could, because the bustle of the people and the party is loud enough to have even spoken in whispers.But Lyra didn't hear him, and she continued walking away from her until Max couldn't see her anymore."Hey! What happens to Lyra? Why is she leaving?", Max asked the guards as he approached the door."She is leaving forever. He said that there is a new world waiting for her to be the ruler of it, and she decided that she will do it alone. "She doesn't need us anymore, we'll stay here with you, of course, if it's not a bother to you," answered Telón, speaking as if he didn't feel any sadness

The night enveloped the city with its dark mantle, dotted with stars. In the quiet of their home, Max and Selene enjoyed a moment of peace, knowing that their children were fast asleep. It was their nightly ritual, that brief but precious space where they could simply be Max and Selene, away from the responsibilities and worries that weighed on them as leaders of the new humanity.Max caresses Selene's face delicately and softly, her fingers brush against her cheek while her lips join together in a kiss full of love and lust. Those hours of the night, Max and his wife knew very well how to take advantage of them because it was the only time of day in which they could have privacy for themselves without their children wanting to interrupt them, or in that case, see them doing things they had not yet done. It was time for them to know what adults did.The passion between them ignited with every caress, every whisper shared under the dim light of the lamps in their room. Selene smiled ag

The atmosphere is charged with tension while the hologram of Xal'thar disappeared before them. The murmurs of the crowd broke the silence that filled the square, Max could barely hear them. His mind was focused on a single goal, and he cared about nothing more than accomplishing it: rescuing his children. Max raised his hand in the air, looking towards the crowd, he asked for silence, and all of his subjects obeyed instantly, his eyes are full of concern, but they did not lose faith in their leader. "Friends, brothers, we cannot allow these beings to use our children for their experiments", the warrior spoke firmly. — They have underestimated our determination and our strength. I know many of you have lost loved ones in difficult times, but this time, we will not allow more humans to be taken away without first fighting. The survivors responded with a roar of approval at their warrior's words, and a surge of energy revitalized Max. Then, he began to feel how his ring awakened a uni
