Chapter 1: A beginning or an end of the story.

*Narration*

Being, in a cold blue wasteland, seeing the legacy that I once left, of days in which my struggle was endless, of days where nothing was lasting, the clouds of my past take me to what I was, to what happened, to what he may or may not have lost. Being a new story to tell ...

* 3 years in the past *

I was calmly heading to school, I was around 15 years old at the time and I felt pretty sure of myself; a simple person in a simple day, with nothing to denote, more than what I always carried with me; a necklace with an orange crystal hanging from it, this, being something jingling in sight, was what got me into trouble at the beginning of that day.

On the way that I always followed to go to school they were making repairs, which blocked the whole way, without finding a better solution I was forced to go somewhere else. The closest path I had was precisely an alley that did not seem at all safe, even when it was daytime that alley was so narrow and had buildings so tall that it seemed like it was night; I felt some insecurity about going that way, but I had no closer options, and it was getting late to look for something better, so I decided I went down that alley, I honestly don't know if it would have been the best option, but without that I would be telling you this story.

Continuing, I went through the alley, scared to death by how dark it was, although you could still see the exit, which was the only thing I wanted to think about at that moment. I decided to hurry to leave quickly, but in that something stopped me, something that I was afraid would happen ... and it happened.

¨You are dead¨ Those intimidating words were heard behind me, feeling at the same time an object on my back which I assumed was a weapon, I got scared enough and I fell allowing myself to see the assailant, something that left me astonished was seeing that it did not look like a human at all, although he did not know what it was exactly since everything was very dark, the silhouette was not at all of a normal person, being huge and without a visible head.

Without thinking I exclaimed ¨ But what the hell !? ¨, the assailant still pointing at me with what seemed to be a pistol responded with satisfaction and hatred ¨ It is definitely you! The necklace you have on your neck reveals who you are, damn prince Kalo ¨, I did not know what he was talking about, I tried to answer him ¨ Prince kalo ?, I-I don't know who he is, I'm Max¨

Although everything was dark I could easily show a macabre smile full of remorse ¨Ha, trying to hide yourself in such a deplorable way you don't get anything¨. Silence was present for a few seconds until I just spoke ¨This is for my town, for my people… ¨

Without knowing what was happening, or what that strange subject was referring to, I closed my eyes tightly, although I was not totally sure, I knew that this weapon would not be false, that I was going to die, that that was my end and without knowing if Instinctively or because of the fear I felt at that moment, I squeezed the crystal that was hanging around my neck.

¨Die… ¨ Without letting me think about what I was doing, I heard those words, a sentence that I was going to perish, or that had happened until a strong light of orange color and yellow tones caused me to open my eyes, at that moment I was stunned to see a girl in armor the same shade as my crystal, standing with her back to me and facing my assailant.

I could see how the assailant threw the weapon with astonishment and fear on his face. He said "T-The Sa-Sacred Guardian"

And without even a word spoken by her, he drew a sword and sliced ​​that assassin, assailant, monster? He couldn't identify who or what he really was.

Seeing her with quite astonishment I asked her ¨ W-who are you? ¨, she quickly turned to me, approached, knelt down and lowering her head spoke ¨I am the sacred guardian, Defender of the carrier of the Gravitational Crystal ¨

Without understanding I replied ¨ What? Gravitational Crystal? "She looked around." It's not safe to talk about it here, we have to go, let's go. " Without even getting up from the ground, he grabbed my hand and led me out of the alley, I could hardly keep up with him because of the impression I had about everything that happened.

W-Wait, where are we going? ¨. I asked him confused ¨ We have to find a place away from all forms of life or a refuge where no one but you can enter ¨

His way of speaking was quite typical of apocalyptic action movies, so, thinking about it quickly, I could only consider my house as the best hiding place ¨Well, my house is close to here… ¨.

Even holding my hand, he stopped ¨ Where is your house exactly? ¨

"Six blocks from here, we could also take a taxi if you're in a hurry." I don't know why I suggested that, rather it's weird that I'm taking it very calmly.

His regret was immediately apparent over what I said to him ¨We don't have time to be calling a taxi, you will guide me, and I will take you levitating¨

levitating? ¨. She took my hand tightly and her armor began to glow, especially a plate on her chest that resembled the crystal on my necklace.

"Get ready, this will be hard." Hearing that, I was again afraid of what was going to happen, so, closing my eyes again, I waited, I waited, and ... nothing happened. I opened my eyes to see what was happening, and I could only see her with a face of hate and immense fury, I tried to speak to her, but she was ahead of me.

¨ AHHH, damn it! My gravitation does not work¨ He was screaming uncontrollably, so I approached with great care and put, with enough fear, but determination, my hand on his shoulder ¨ Ca-Calm, if-if you want, I ask the taxi. Although I feel that what I said was the worst thing I could have said, she looked at me with a bit of anger and acceptance, although she would have no other word to describe that, other than tsundere.

I called for the taxi while she was apparently trying to activate her levitation?

When we got to my house, she went to the door and put her hand on it ¨ Why doesn't it open? Don't tech gates work here? ¨. I stared at her for a moment and took out the key to my house ¨Mmm, I guess not, but here is the key to the door¨.

"Wow, how primitive," she said and tried to open the door with the key, failing in all her attempts. "What crap, I hate old technology."

Seeing that she was failing too much, I had no choice but to tell her to give me the key so I could open the door, and quite resentful of her constant failures she gave it to me.

I opened the door and told him to come in.

Looking at me somewhat flushed, she looked away ¨I-I could do it too ¨.

¨I know¨ I said with a smile, she saw me again and when she looked at my smile, she returned to have a determined face and abruptly entered the house taking me with her to the living room, and then closed all the doors and windows, without letting anything in outside light, then came back into the living room and sat in one of my armchairs.

"So, can you explain to me again who you are?" or rather what the hell just happened? ¨. The truth is I don't even know how I was taking all this so calmly, I almost died or so I think, and a girl in orange armor had just dragged me to my house, I let her in and she is doing everything she wants as if it were her home, If all this is happening, why? ... why does this feel so normal?, why does it feel so familiar? I asked myself without finding an answer.

She approached me and told me to sit down, paying attention to her even without knowing why, but intrigued that my questions were answered, she took off the helmet that she was wearing along with her armor, revealing beautiful hair that was a little short and blonde, almost golden. While I was stunned by her hair and face that I had not seen closely, she began to speak.

"As I had said before, I am the sacred guardian of the crystal that you have in your necklace, and likewise, I am the protector of the bearer of that crystal."

¨ My crystal? ¨ I grabbed the glass and for a moment I looked at it with some sadness ¨ I have always had it with me… my late mother gave it to me.

She stared at me and with a somewhat pained face said "I'm sorry, I know how you feel, but this is not the time to regret now, this planet is not safe for you."

"Wait, planet? I began to understand some things. Was that thing that wanted to kill me from another planet?" ¨

¨Yes, it seems strange to me that you do not know about that¨

"That I do not know about that? What madness is what is happening? I can not even process what happened a moment ago". I said very excited.

"You still accepted everything very quickly, so I assumed you knew what was happening."

I looked to the side worried ¨I do not know why, but this is a bit normal, something that I knew could happen and I do not know why, but ... ¨ I stared at her orange eyes clear as the sun ¨but you are very much to me. family.

Suddenly, from her face came a silent tear at the torment that was not represented in her eyes ¨I really regret not having prevented that ... ¨

¨ What do you mean? I am safe thanks to you ¨

"I-it's not that, I ... forget it, the best thing is that you rest so that you can assimilate all this".

After what she told me she got up and left the room, I felt bad for her and I didn't even know why, why could I understand her feelings so much and why did she seem so cute to me if I had just met her? I was too confused and stunned by those thoughts so I took his words and decided to go to my room to go to bed, everything happened so fast that I even forgot I was going to school, but hey I could present a false justification for why I did not show up, anyway, I live alone, or maybe not anymore ...
