DARK DREAMS.

Where am I? This place, I don't recognize it, but I have no doubt, it is a dream, but who is it from? I only remember that they attacked me and nothing else, but if I am here, do you want say that I have not died yet, or at least I hope so. No one knows for sure what happens after death, it could well be something like dreaming while we sleep.

But even so, he had never seen anything like it, his memories are scattered and fragmented.

Elise was trying to touch little "memories" lights in Tylos's mind, but she couldn't see them, they were incomplete like a vase when it's broken beyond repair. The memories of people and how they are distributed in his consciousness are a perception of his inner world. Elise walked for a while along a path with trees that were getting bigger and bigger, and as she went, but everything went dark in a gloomy and absorbing way.

- This person, I can't understand, how can he live like this, I can't find anything, perhaps he doesn't treasure any memories within himself, and as if that weren't enough, what's happening here, his mind is disturbed, the most sensible thing is for him to leave here.

She tried to go back, but as she walked towards the light where she came from, she this she seemed to get further and further away until she was gone. She could only see where she was going, so she kept walking and walking until she reached a huge dark forest, there were many lights "so here they were, but they seem like many memories for one person" she approached a little fearful and touch one of them.

- "Run brother, hurry up mom is waiting for us.

- I'm coming, I just want to see the sunset a little more.

- If you like the stars...! don't take too long! or mom will be mad at me too.

- Alright.

"Wow, but if these are his memories from when he was little, I'll keep watching"

The sky was darkening and a large mass of stars could be seen in the sky, it seemed that the entire universe was visible from that place, Elise sat on the grass of the prairie to observe the beautiful scenery in the vault, the feeling was comforting, and the warmth of the feeling felt like a loving hug.

Then everything began to break as if it were glass and she fell into a huge abyss. "Help!" she screamed as everything collapsed around her and the deep darkness swallowed her.

And there a voice whispered "help me, please, my eyes no longer see where you are, my hands no longer feel yours, I no longer feel your warmth, don't leave me alone, I beg you"

Elise with her closed eyes screamed for help while more and more voices were heard in that dark passage, lamentations and sorrows resounded with sadness. And it was then that the young man who picked her up woke her up.

- Hey wake up, you must already be fine if you yell like that.

However, she kept screaming and she had no choice but to drench him with cold water and that was the only way she reacted in a jump.

Even so, she could feel it, it was so real, so much suffering, so much misfortune and regret in those voices did nothing but resonate in her mind, she covered her ears while she cried begging them to stop, but she kept listening to them.

Then he took her in his arms and brought her close to his face, and told her "You're safe, I won't hurt you", and with great surprise he opened his eyes and when he saw his face, he knew that it was the same person, that child was this young man.

- I picked you up while you were unconscious about to die.

- I, I don't know, what am I doing here, you are that child… aaaaag…, make them stop, those voices, in your dream, I can't get them out of my head.

- Calm down, calm down, open your eyes, it's over, okay?

Elise gradually calmed down and her breathing slowed down, she opened her light blue eyes full of tears and began to dry herself with her clenched fists, Tylos kept watching her carefully, since he had not had the opportunity due to his sudden encounter, her face is beautiful and white as snow, accompanied by a blue braid that reached her waist and a white silk dress that matched her sky blue wings.

Elise stared around her and murmured "Alexa", her tears ran down her cheeks again as she lowered her head.

- Yesterday you mentioned that name, "save her" you said, you can tell me if you want.

She was silent for a while, hugging her legs with both arms and hiding her face, despite that it was evident that she was still crying.

- I'll go out for a moment, don't go out, there is something more dangerous out there than the people who were chasing you.

Tylos felt the presence of that mist that he fought the night before, and for some reason it was still after him and he decided to go out of the cave to watch.

However, that was nothing more than an excuse to leave her alone, because, although he had no idea what had happened to her and knew that she needed time alone, since her crying could be heard as far as he was.

"As much as I have lived through these situations, I can never get used to it, what am I supposed to do or say, I don't even know her name, and what I say will make no difference in what has happened to her, I can only keep her safe for now"

In the early morning darkness, he saw a light approaching where he was, he quickly put himself on guard, and out of the bushes the guys he had beaten earlier in the rain came out.

- Yes, you've done it damn, I don't know if you're a damn ignorant idiot or you just think you're very brave to protect that damn phenomenon with the mark of death.

-The young man is right, this time you won't escape, his trace is unmistakable, although I must admit, it took us a long time to get to this place even with the mark.

Tylos lay propped up on a rock next to the cave entrance with his sword gripped by the blade and the hilt resting on his shoulder.

- You should get out of here, what's out there won't have the mercy I had with you... long.

- Jummm we'll see how you manage damn, this time it won't be the same... "retribution of lightning, come to me and burn my enemy"

Tylos sighed deeply as his sword began to turn blue, "what was left, deal with these guys and now this" he thought as the other pounced on him with a flurry of sword blows.

- It looks like a very rare sword, we'll keep it when my lord finishes conjuring.

- From what I see, you have to be very stupid not to realize that this spell will also hit you at that distance.

-Nonsense, he wouldn't be able to.

- Open up oh heaven and unleash your fury "lightning descent", hold it, let it not escape.

- But sir...

- Do it damn

- See, I told you, it will kill you too, idiot.

The spell was just approaching when Tylos kicked him, separating the two just enough so he wouldn't fry them.

The sorcerer's rage was such that he began to slap his servant who was on the ground, he did not move because he was perplexed that that column of lightning could have killed him, it was then that the sorcerer raised his hand with his cane to hit him that what Tylos had foreseen happened. A shadow came out of the forest and snatched the wizard's arm, causing blood to spurt out almost completely.

A shocking scream was heard from outside to where Elise was who immediately went out to see what was happening.

There was the magician full of blood screaming in pain, the cause? It was in the shadows, they seemed to be deer, but there was something different, one had its arm in its mouth, but the most distinctive thing is that the creatures had their mouths deformed, they began to come out more and more and surrounded them.

- Ahhh… ahhhhh… damn my arm, what are those things, shit… it hurts… help me damn, don't stay lying there… save me.

It was in vain because they were both paralyzed by the shock of what they were seeing, voices were heard all over the place as if they were laughter, but there were no other people there, only monsters.

They opened their mouths into three pieces that extended past their necks to their chests and were full of sharp teeth that dropped slime and blood to the ground, a fetid odor invaded the place as they began to make an unpleasant noise, obviously not heard. like the call of the deer and it was then that they pounced on those who were helpless on the ground.

"By the Goddess, these creatures are, this goes beyond the corruption caused by malice" Elise shouted from behind Tylos,

- Stay behind me and don't run away and maybe we will survive.

- Alright.

Tylos pounced on the creatures defending the subjects that had attacked him, hacking at the monsters, but they kept coming more and more, Elise who was clinging to his neck in astonishment and at the same time fear saw how the young man fought non-stop the beasts They were completely surrounded.

In an oversight one rammed him, pulling him to one side, leaving those two alone and with one bite they snatched the magician's head and two others pulled his body until it split it in two and left its viscera on the ground.

- Defend yourself silly, they're going to eat you.

Tylos yelled at the other guy.

Then he got up and desperately fanned his sword, driving the monsters back, but one raised him from behind with his antlers while another ripped his forearm with his sword, blood and pain accompanied by muffled screams came out of his mouth without rest because his left leg was also being mutilated.

Tylos came to his aid, ripping the creatures in half, but now they stood before the entrance to the cave, surrounded, slowly retreating inside.

- They are going to kill us here, we have no way out.

- I'm not going to let this subject die either.

But he is your enemy.

- It doesn't matter, I think that as much as he wanted to hurt me, it shouldn't end like this, just watch, it won't be long until dawn. I'll break through, try to do something with that guy.

- Alright.

Little by little he started to move forward, but they kept piling up more and more and he was pushed back almost to the end.

- I'll have to use it again.

Elise felt a great magic coming from the boy, her sword was bathed in light at the same time that the whole place began to light up, even the monsters began to retreat, but it was too late, Solis Astra! She resounded throughout the place along with a blast of energy in the form of light that scorched the beasts and shot far into the forest.

- Come on, we have to get out of here.

- Your arm, that looks bad.

- Don't worry, I'll soon recover.

Little by little her burned arm began to heal, Elise's astonishment was not long in coming.

- You, how the hell can you do that, it's impossible to cure something like that, I mean, you're not even using magic.

- We'll talk about it later, come on.

She took the subject on her back carefully, because Elise had barely tied her wounds to prevent her from bleeding to death. And then they came out of the cave, but there was something sinister there, it looked like a huge moose about ten meters tall, it was standing on its two hind limbs, its hair looked like dry roots and it had two well-formed, muscular arms, but its eyes They weren't coming anywhere, he was just there in front of them, he didn't do anything, however, they could feel it, it was very dangerous.

- Shhhh… don't say anything… I don't know if I can stop it, let's go back inside.

- Come on.

But when they started to walk backwards, the subject who was unconscious woke up at the sight of the monster and started screaming.

- Shit what are you doing... shut up.

- Noooo, don't come near… noooo.

And without realizing it, and just by reflex he was able to dodge one of his claws, he couldn't see it when he snatched the subject from his back and he was already being devoured when he turned to see him, his head was a skull without any skin and in the center opened a large red eye that looked at him eagerly.

- Goeeeee, inside.

Elise fell silent, to the ground, it's not like her if she couldn't fly, her fear wouldn't let her.

Tylos wielded the Solis Atraaa! crosshead with both hands, but the monster grabbed his sword and was barely hurt by the blaze of light.

- Impossible... this... can't be.

He yanked it with all his might and snatched it from the monster's hand, and backed away, but it was already behind him, and with a swipe he sent it flying into the woods.

He barely got up when he saw that it ran on all fours in a charge towards him, and just as he was about to reach it, an immense bolt of fire appeared that scorched the creature, forcing it back.

- You burned it very little Sera, it seems that you only singed its hair.

-If she had been serious, she would have burned that subject too.

- Hahahaha, you're right, my apologies

-On guard teacher, it seems that he got upset.

An old man and a girl appeared from among the trees, they seemed to be magicians, and they stood up to the monster, then Tylos, also recovered, began to charge his sword with magic again, they remained carefully observing the wounds on his arms, but they did not say nothing.

- Sera, stop it, don't move, I'll pierce it.

- There I go.

Roots sprouted from the ground that slowed down the movement of the beast, and Tylos without thinking twice attacked him with all his might, even so, he covered himself with one of his arms avoiding a direct hit.

- Keep it that way boy, now "plasma flow" disappears

Both seeing and electricity were channeled from his cane and a huge blue ray shot towards the monster at great speed, but with an abominable scream he managed to free himself by breaking the roots causing the attack to grazed him and only taking one of his upper limbs. then embarking on their flight into the darkness of the forest, it was then that the sinister looks disappeared as the first rays of dawn light appeared.
