The Ring of Power 44: The Weight of Betrayal
After listening to everything, the warrior felt that a powerful energy emerged from within him and ran through his entire body. It was a force that came not only from the love for his children, but also from the loyalty that the Guardians felt towards him, and the unconditional support from Selene. He knew that this mission would be the most dangerous, one of the strongest and most unpredictable of all time. Something deep inside him told him that this could be the destiny of his children, that it depended on this new opportunity for them to survive and return to them without having any intention of ever leaving them again."Max... I have to talk to you, alone. "It's very important that we talk before this battle," Lyra objected, looking at Max very seriously.The Guardians looked at each other, and decided to walk away before Lyra could ask them to leave. Max looked at Selene when he heard Lyra, Selene nodded, gave him a kiss very close to the corner of her mouth, and left the bed
The Ring of Power 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
The Ring of Power 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
The Ring of Power 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

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
The Ring of Power 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

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
The Ring of Power 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.

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
