The Ring of Power 17: The Light in the Shadow: The Power of the Ring
It was there that panic took over the warrior, but Max was more concerned with forcing his mind so that it could help him remain firm in his decisions, because defending himself against an enemy of this magnitude included knowing how to do it with precision, and not only defending himself for the sake of defending himself, that is why things did not happen as he planned with the previous enemy and that is why the ring had helped him defend himself and defeat that creature that was about to finish defeating him.The bunker is a labyrinth of shadows, the light no longer existed, it had gone out with the appearance of said enemy, and Max looked for a way to defend himself from what was about to come. Then, a new ray of light, dark and more powerful than the others, hit in his direction, and he still couldn't find the exact location of where it came from. However, he has realized one thing; What was attacking him was getting much closer to him despite being invisible.What caused him the
The Ring of Power 18: Max's rehabilitation
"Max? Dear? Are you okay? Don't worry about anything. "Here I am," said the soft voice of a woman who did not look like a young woman at all."Mm?", Max muttered with effort, he still felt too weak from the complete loss of his energy to have recovered one hundred percent of his vitality.Everything for Max was immersed in complete darkness, his breathing remained soft, not too fast nor too slow, and the worst of all was realizing that his body did not respond to his innocent responsive movements. "Where am I?", Max whispered to himself, however, the woman who spoke to him before seems not to have heard him because there was no response from her. It is as if that woman had not heard him speak at that moment."Max? Dear? Are you okay? Don't worry about anything. Here I am", the mysterious woman repeated the same words she said before.Slowly, Max opened his eyes very carefully, as if he didn't want what was happening outside to suddenly affect him. And then, upon opening his eyes comp
The Ring of Power 19: Recovering hope
"What's happening? Why are they looking at me like that?", Max whispers uncertainly, when he was close to the guards, Max could detect their feelings, and he knew very well that when they look at each other, it is because they are being complicit in something that they are not able to hide."Max, we have to tell you about a situation that we are sure you are not going to like...", Lyra confessed, looking at Max with the same seriousness that she has always looked at him since the first moment they met.Max looked at her and prayed that they would get straight to the point and say without so much sermon what they had to tell her."The woman you rescued was the cause of all this. She actually ended up being what we so feared would happen with her rescue; she showed her true identity and confessed to us being our worst enemy... One that you have never had the opportunity to face face to face in a battle...", Aldrich blurted out when he realized that no one was going to be able to speak b
The Ring of Power 20: Dawn of Darkness
Before continuing on his way, Max examined his body, now, he was fascinated by what he saw.His new figure was much better than the previous one, he did not know exactly what the guardians did, or if perhaps the dimensional portal had something to do with it, or perhaps, if the energy rehabilitation that he performed on him had to do with it. his grandmother to rehabilitate him from his defeat, but Max felt stronger than ever, and is ready to fight in battle whatever wants to defeat him at any moment, even if it takes him by surprise."Excellent. Now, get ready Justin. You will never again have the chance to want to make fun of me like you used to do before, and like you do now. I'm no longer that same idiot that you could take advantage of just because I was a rookie. No, now I am Max the warrior", Max said to himself, with his gaze fixed on the horizon where the day was more beautiful than ever.Then, as the warrior walks along the desolate path, a strange feeling began to grow from
The Ring of Power 21: The battlefield
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
The Ring of Power 22: Recovering what was lost
Max stood still, calmly watching as his enemy lunged at him in fury. But then, his eyes focused on its every movement, his muscles tensed, and his mind focused on a single purpose: defeat that damned beast once and for all.The ring on his finger shone brightly, its warmth is comforting, and then, Max remembered what had happened the first day he realized that the ring was very powerful, not only because he remembered the presence of that magical being who helped him. to defend himself from Justin and his bully friends that day in high school when he was expelled and the next day he ended up being transported to a new world that he knew how to love and be faithful to until this moment in his life.Max knew that he was going to be able to win that battle against such a being that was attacking him, and it was then that he decided to give his all, allowing the ring to give him all the strength necessary to do what was about to happen: the body of Max transformed completely, absorbing al
The Ring of Power 23: The new civilization
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
The Ring of Power 24: The new legacy and Lyra's farewell

53: A battle fought
Thus, a new tremor shook Max, but he remained firm, he did not want to let himself fall to the ground, he had to sense that all of this was an invention of Xal'Thar to easily knock him down and thus end up winning that battle. Max was not going to allow it, one way or another he had to win the battle, whatever the cost, he had to stand if he wanted to win the war against that demon that invaded his tranquility and that of Max's family.Then, the ground fragmented under their feet while the cracks spread like snakes that left without defining an indeterminate destination, all spreading rapidly on the ground as if trying to break the little stable surface that was found in the world in which Max and the alien competed. That whole world, that dimension was perceived as a kind of extremely apocalyptic battlefield.From the center of the impact of the dark lightning, an abyss emerged that seemed to have no end, a bottomless abyss that looked completely dark, an abyss that seemed completely

52: The threshold of shadows; the beginning of the final battle
Max stood still for a moment, watching as the darkness of the room seemed to fade after Xal'Thar's disappearance. Time was against them, and what was coming would be an unprecedented battle. He looked at Selene one last time, kissing her lips as if that gesture was going to be the last one he would have with her at that moment. Max had a strange feeling about that battle, he felt as if he would never be able to return home. even though he had a chance to win it. At the end of the day, no matter how bad feelings he had about the situation, Max had to ignore them and take care of his duty as a warrior."Take care of her while I'm away from her. "I promise to return to my children as soon as she has defeated that unfortunate man," the warrior said to Celen, his voice firmer than he really felt. There was no room for fear, he was a warrior, and a warrior was not afraid of anything. Furthermore, everyone's fate depended on his strength.Celen nodded with a solemn gesture, knowing that this

51: The return of the enemy
Max felt a lump quickly form in his throat as he heard the hesitation in Celen's voice, which announced that his plan had not gone as well as everyone thought it would. The warrior, who rarely allowed himself to be dominated by uncertainty, crossed his arms and looked at her with more intensity than he had ever been able to do before."Although...?", He insisted, in a tone that, although calm, showed the concern that was beginning to invade him — Celen, please, get straight to the point.Celen took a deep breath, unable to hold his gaze any longer even if she wanted to because she knew how embarrassed she felt about having involved Max's wife in said spell. What she was about to say would change everything, because now, more than ever, Max needed his wife's support, and having to know that she wouldn't wake up until everything was over was going to be a difficult nightmare. Finally, she looked down at the holographic map and spoke with a trembling voice, as if with each word she relea

50: Celen's powerful spell
Max had not imagined that that night, while he was sleeping, everything began quickly, Celen kept his word to take charge of casting a spell on Max's subjects in the city so that they would fall into a deep sleep and thus they would not have to realize any of the possible things that will happen in the final battle against Xal'Thar.He never imagined that Selene would end up involved in the middle of that blessed spell of Celen's. Although Max knew that Celen had no bad intentions in reference to harming Selene. Everything happened very unexpectedly, but anyway, Max knew that there was a very clear purpose at that moment for things to happen.While Selene, Max, Lyra, the Guardians and the subjects of the new civilization rested in the mantle of their homes and accompanied by their families, Celen prepared to work on her spell, she had locked herself in her room, she put herself in half of the room, closed her eyes, raised her hands in such a way that it seemed that she was bowing to a

49: Max, let's expand the family!
Out of surprise, Max froze, as if time had frozen for him. Her mind was barely working for hers, his eyes met hers, searching for answers in her gaze. Selene, however, was determined to press the matter, because even if Max believed that what she was proposing might be a simple impulse at the idea of not having her children around at that moment, in any case, and from then on a Some time ago, she had wanted to talk to Max about it, she already wanted another child of his before everything happened."That? What about another son?", Max whispered, barely trying to process the words his wife said, interrupting a moment like that. The impact of that idea had made all the thoughts that were in his mind fade away for an instant, forgetting what they were really experiencing at that moment.Selene nodded slowly, looking at Max with deep eyes, in them, he could see that what she said was very sincere, wanting to have another child was not a simple whim for his wife. Then, Selene's hands car

48: The Betrayal of a Guardian
As soon as the celebration ended along with the bottle that they all drank, the Guardians made the decision to go to rest, since obviously, it is time to do so, they had not been able to fall asleep for many hours after the entire journey they lived to In Max's rescue, their energies are completely exhausted, for them they deserved a good rest. Along with the company of his wife, Max watched in silence as each of them retired to their respective rooms, moving away from the meeting room. He only accompanied them with a figure that remained in the room, isolated, silent and distant: Lyra.Max looked at her out of the corner of his eye, he still felt a powerful anger emanating from her body against her. And he was sure that, despite her betrayal, they still needed her for the plan to work, after all, she was still part of her family, and family is never abandoned in the most complicated moments. However, he was also aware that he could not allow her to roam freely. They couldn't take th

47: The definitive plan
That's how Max left the room, his mind already working on the perfect plan for the rescue. He knew that they couldn't go directly to the Xal'Thar dimension, that wouldn't be a great idea, it wouldn't even be the best idea in the world for the Guardians because even for them it would be very difficult to survive. Now, they would have to create a much more cunning strategy than the previous ones to rescue his children, one that would not force him to leave his territory. With that idea in mind, and with Selene holding her hand to walk together, they approached the room where the Guardians along with Lyra were waiting for them. Lyra, standing at a safe distance, watched in silence, feeling alien to everyone, but knowing that she was a crucial part of what was about to happen. The Guardians already knew everything Lyra had done, and like Max and Selene, they also felt betrayed and did not want her to affect them again in another rescue plan, which would be the last. Max cleared his thr

46: The decision of a warrior family
At that moment, Max let silence fill the air after Lyra's last words. He had never before been as angry as he was now. There is a completely palpable tension between the two, a tension that at first glance reflected that a fight had occurred between them from which there would be no way back to solve it, it seems that between them, the friendship and trust has been a flame of fire. that has been turned off. However, they both knew that for now they couldn't let his anger control him, the most important thing of the moment was at stake; rescue his children, the heirs of the warrior, Max. He turned slowly, turning his back to Lyra, in her head, there was no room for the idea of wanting to look into her eyes anymore after all. "Lyra," he said with firmness in her voice, but feeling a little calmer than before, "I want you to leave me alone." I need to talk to Selene before we take any further steps. Could you?Then, Lyra obeyed, and knowing that there was nothing more to say for the

45: Redemption at the price of betrayal
The warrior stopped just a few steps from Lyra, he felt her breathing hard and her body trembling with contained anger that would be about to come to light at any moment. Max clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white, but he had to hold on, because he couldn't afford to cause a scandal of such magnitude, or Lyra's punishment would be worse, after all, he still cared a lot about her, the 5 years they spent living together and feeling like family by the time this whole warrior story began.His entire being was enveloped in a storm of emotions that seemed to have absolutely no control: betrayal, pain and rage were submerged within a wave of emotions that were difficult to justify and calm. But something in Lyra's eyes stopped him. Despite his pride, there was a deep, almost desperate sadness in his eyes."Because? Why did you do this to me, Lyra? What do you have against me?", Max growled, barely containing his fury. —Why would you tell Xal'Thar everything?! You knew what
