Sixt page April 14th 2300

Its been two days since the last time I wrote, I havent seen Mera yet, but yesterday while distracting my self, I finished my new black stone shovel and went to the flace where I found that blue metal. After the whole day digging and mining those walls, I found another rock of blue metal, but this time it was only the size of a finger. This metal is awsome, the harder you hit it,the harder it will become to counter that force, so to manipulate it, one must hit it softly.

The most interesting thing about it, its that with fire it becomes white, its really awsome.

After I found that little piece I was tired and decided to go back home, there I took my gramps book and started reading those stories of older times until I felt asleep.

That night I had a terrible dream, a big terrifing monster that was twice the size of the mountain outside, reached with its hand a star, like grasping an apple from a tree, and then out of nowhere a hammer that shined like the sun apear in his other hand like a part of it, as if it always been there but I was unable to see it until the moment It was swang, he then swang it, over and over again, hitting that star,extinguishing its bright, while singing something that I coudnt understand but sounded like a war chant, sad but it made my heart hache, and I felt my force grow little by little, being transformed like that star, until it became a sword, a sword as strong as a dragon, a dragon like the one that star had become, then he saw me, he saw trough my soul, throu my dreams and fears, he made me feel despair, I lost everything, my strengh, my light, I revived the moments of lost, when I couldn’t find Remus, gramps, I remembered my mom and dad, with a light smile looking at me, all for those eyes to take away, I was never that sad before, then only madnes was in me, and with the hand that had that hammer it took that madness from me, and imbued it to the dragon, to make it a sword again, no, now it wasn’t a sword, It became flat, and my madness was the hilt, and the fire change it, until it became a shovel, and there was I loneely, empty.

Then I move my eyes to see him again after I don’t know how much time, and I could feel those words “ Say my name” “call me” , I don’t know how, but I knew that name, Hephaestus, our god… I didn’t want to say its name, my gramps forvade me, even empty I didn’t want a god to fill me,then I woke up, just before breaking the oat I told my gramps and pray to him, and begg him to return me everything he took.

I was sweating a lot, I felt terrified, but it was just a dream, only a dream.

Then the today came, I write becase today was a hard day, I used part of the metal that I had left covering the small shovel that I made Mera, and madea necklass for her, after doing that and making my mind at ease again, I decided to take an important step, to go ask the elder Kartus about that metal with the latest finger side piece that I found yesterday.

Unfortunately he wasn’t there.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

New day, a lot of things happened today, I finally know why haven’t I seen Mera lately, on my way to see Kartus, I stopped by Lady Rose’s store, and she told me that it was pointless to look for him, that she went out with the battle maidens to look for food, because we had a shortage of it.

That they would be back in a moth probably, that our life’s depended on that, and that I should be prepared for the worse case, because the probability of death was more than 80%

So, I just bought some rations, and in the way back to my digging I started thinking, “ well with no one here to look out for me, and the rest of the village minding their own business, who’s going to make sure I dig like I am supposed to do it” hahaha, time to go back to my smit, to make stone shovels, or something better, like a metal shovel hahaha.

Eight-page April 30th 2300

I spend two weeks smithing, making shovels, now I also make pickaxes, and they’re amazing, nothing as amazing as a shovel, today I went to buy some more rations to old lady’s rose store, and on my way, I saw Kartus shadow, so I think they have returned, the battle maidens, and Mera.

So, I returned home as fast as I could to take her the small shovel I made for her coated in my weird blue metal, after picking the stuff that I needed, I went to her house, but it was still empty, weird.

Then I went to see old man Kartus at his house, I heard a lot of noises inside, but as much as I scream no one came out. But I’m not giving up, I made a third trip home for a full-size shovel and a pickaxe, and came back to destroy that door, something weird happened and I need to know what, because it could involve Mera.

As soon as I opened that door I saw them, the battle maidens all with their eyes red, they had a pig (the size of an elephant) on the middle of the room, but it was cut in half, its intestines around him in a circle, its eyes taken out and arranged in its stomach, its legs smashed and made pulp that was burning around the eyes, and the battle maidens around singing, and doing something that seemed like the chant that the giant sang in my dream, like a pray.

But gramps told me that we humans never pray, it’s a rule, praying brings disgrace, we only have ourselves alone in this world, against everything, we don’t have anyone to pray to.

I didn’t saw Mera, but as soon as Kartus saw me, he took a spear and walk to me, it looked he would stab me, I closed my eyes, getting ready for the worst. Then I felt in my chest the force of a kick that send me flying, and hit the wall behind me, there I felt a mouthful of blood, but I swallow it, then, I opened my eyes, only to see Kartus coming back to me with that spear. I move mi eyes towards my chest only to see a hole in my shirt, and the small shovel the small one that I made for Mera.

When he was in front of me, he saw it. That small blue shovel shine with the sun, it made him become paralyzed, then, its eyes became greedy, became vicious, he extended its hand, and rip it from my chest. He turned around, and entered the house, closing the door.

I didn’t understand anything, I was there puzzled, feeling really bad, I probably had a couple of ribs broken

It took all the strength I had left to stand up, and step by step, I drag my hurt body through those caves that I had never felt so long and dark.

I felt it took forever to arrive home, but when I arrived every bit of strength left in my body abandoned me, I felt my mind vanish, and remain there in my floor for I don’t know how much time, tired, hurt, missing everyone, my parents, Remus, my gramps, Mera, and those old days, when everything was happy, and annoying but bearable.

I finally woke up, I don’t know what happened, my body tells me that it wasn’t a nightmare, but one thing is for sure if the old man Kartus and the battle maidens were in this, then my life is in danger, but what can I do, where can I go??
