- First of all, thank you very much for reading this special of three episodes; if you are a reader of "The Sage of Einar," this episode is special, so it does not alter the book's original story.
If you want to read the other two parts of this special, just go to my profile and look for my novel "Nova Roma," where you will find part 1, while part two is in my other book, "Marie."
I hope you liked it and remember that the next special will be in December, if you like it, just give me a comment ;) -
Max, who was sitting in an office, looked at the photo he had on his desk; in it, there was a drawing where Margaret, Kassia, and Helmi were.
He still has the memory of the plane crash and his stay in that Viking world.
Inside his heart, there is a hole because he lost almost everything for the second time; the only thing he has left is his daughter, who, for some reason, is alive, and the body of Einar that somehow came along with him.
So he decided to forget everything and clung to the existence of his daughter, who is the most important person for him.
As he continued to see the photo on his desk, the door to his office opened, and a young woman entered, somewhat nervous.
"General Max, there is a problem in Operation Alpha Olympia.
The building has collapsed. "
Max, with a severe look, suddenly got up and walked towards the woman. "Tell me that the building where my house is, nothing happened to him ..."
At that moment, the woman could see how General Max's phone began to vibrate, so she answered.
"Erika, what's up? You need help!"
The woman could see how the General's face seemed to be getting more and more angry and worried.
After listening for a few seconds, Max looked at the woman and muted the microphone on his cell phone.
"Prepare a liquidation team, and I want a person who can triangulate my daughter's cell phone."
The woman nodded while receiving Max's cell phone and ran out; meanwhile, Max left his office and walked to the armory.
The soldier who was guarding the armory almost wet his pants when he saw General Max with an angry face.
"General needs some weapon."
Max sighed. "I want a level 4 bulletproof vest, a silenced pistol, five clips, a tactical uniform, three frag grenades, and a blinding grenade.
Lastly, I want a Xiuhcóatl with six clips. "
The soldier swallowed some saliva, "His credential, General."
Max took a credential from his uniform and handed it to the soldier who went to the armory's back to take what the General asked for.
While he was waiting, a hand touched him on the shoulder, "General, our people are ready, and the central command has already located the address where your daughter is."
"We will leave in 5 minutes."
In the building's parking lot, a group of six people was gathered, all of them wearing special suits and night vision goggles.
They were all waiting at attention when the door opened, and Max entered his changed uniform and sunglasses.
"Team is a simple mission, we go in and kill any enemy.
We rescued the target and left the scene. "
Max sighed as he fixed his glasses. "We have to be quick as congress wants me to do a report on what happened in Operation Alpha Olympia."
At the end of their little speech, they all got into the armored truck and headed to their destination.
On the way, Max had his gaze fixed on a photo of his daughter, so he only reacted when he heard the voice of his subordinate.
"General, we will be at the objective building in 5 minutes; we await your orders."
Max kept the photo of his daughter and removed the safety of his weapon. "Alpha Team will take care of the perimeter to prevent the enemy from blocking our escape route.
Bravo Team will enter the place with me; remember that your priority is to rescue the target; in case there are other kidnapped people, you can rescue them if you can.
In case their life is in danger, they have permission to leave them, we will separate, and after finding the objective, we will leave the place in five minutes. "
All the soldiers nodded, and when the truck stopped, they all ran towards the abandoned factory in the distance.
At one of the doors, there were two men dressed in black who were smoking.
"Yair's death sucks; that damn Jaime didn't measure himself."
"Haha, he died for being stupid.
The only thing that should interest us is that his share of the loot is going to belong to us. "
"You're right about that, but what the hell does our employer want that girl for."
"I don't know, and if you want my advice, in this job, it is better not to ask because the answer could cost you your life ..."
At that moment, the two men fell to the ground with some holes on their heads; Max, who had killed them, entered through the door and prepared for a possible direct confrontation.
As he walked down a corridor, he heard some voices in a room, so he used a small mirror to see where those voices were coming from.
From the reflection, he could see that there was a group of fourteen people who were drinking and enjoying some drugs.
He could also see that they were guarding a kind of hatch.
So Max just shook his head and grabbed two grenades from his belt, removed the fuze from them, and waited two seconds before throwing them into the room.
The men who enjoyed the pleasure of alcohol and other substances could only see two objects fall to the ground.
Max, who was waiting, felt the ground vibrate with the explosion, so when he entered the room, he could see the destroyed bodies of the fourteen men.
Ignoring the blood and chunks of meat on his boots, he made his way to the hatch, which he opened without difficulty.
Once it was open, he went down the stairs that were there; while he went down, he put his gun away and readied his rifle because he had a hunch that he might use it.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw a small corridor that had a yellow light that was blinking, giving a mysterious appearance to the place.
After walking down the hall, he came to a metal door, which he kicked open.
The dim light from the hallway illuminated the darkroom where he could see his daughter tied up and next to him, another girl in a red uniform.
Holding back the urge to run to his daughter, Max turned on the light on his gun and scanned the room for some hidden danger.
In his small tour, he could see a metal fence, so he walked towards it, when he looked through the bars he could see a young man with golden hair lying on the ground barely alive and next to him a man in black who had cut his throat.
From his uniform, Max took his radio. "Here, Alpha team leader, I found the target and two survivors.
I request support in the area for the extraction. "
When he finished speaking, Max ran to where his daughter was; the first thing he did was remove the blindfold so he could check the wound on her head.
Erika, who had listened to her father a few moments ago, began to cry when he removed the blindfold from her eyes.
"Easy, Erika, I will remove the ropes and the cloth from your mouth but remember not to scream.
This place is not safe. "
Erika nodded, and Max released her daughter.
At that moment, Max heard some people starting down the stairs, so he ran to the door and readied his gun so he could shoot in case they were enemies.
To his misfortune, he saw that a few men dressed in black were coming down from the ladder, so he pointed his gun and, after exhaling, began to shoot.
Erika, who saw her father shoot, turned to see Marie, who was tied up so she could untie her.
When Marie was free, the first thing she did was run to the room where she had heard that her father was being tortured.
When he opened the door of the room, he ran to Flavio who was lying on the floor, with his small hands he began to move him.
"Dad, you have to wake up; you can't sleep in this place.
We have to get out of this place as bad people seem to become. "
Marie continued to move Flavio, who ended up waking up after vomiting coagulated blood; as she could, she got up and removed a buried dagger from her chest.
Erika, who was watching, was surprised to see that Flavio's wounds were healing almost instantly.
After recovering, Flavio hugged Marie and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Your father is back."
Marie, with a tear on her face, clung to her chest, "You were always with me."
Flavio then got up and changed his clothes into Roman armor as he calmly walked towards the door.
Max, who was somewhat concerned about his ammunition, was surprised when he could see that the golden-haired young man seemed to be unharmed and in entirely different clothes.
Flavio just smiled at him and patted him on the arm; after that, Flavio appeared with two swords and started running down the hall towards the stairs.
For her part, Marie was healing Erika because when she hugged her father, she was able to regain the bond with him and, with it, her divine energy.
Max seeing Flavio's unreal performance, just shook his head and went to where his daughter was.
When the alpha team regrouped at the location Max indicated, they were surprised to see a golden-haired young man in Roman armor who was carrying a girl very similar to him.
Also, by his side, they saw Max, who was carrying his daughter Erika.
The team members had doubts about what to do, so they just approached Max.
"Thank you very much for your help Flavio."
Flavio shook his head, "I should thank you because, in the weakest moment of my daughter, you could arrive.
I don't know what happened or why I am in this place, but I plan to find a way to return since my other children, and my wives should be worried. "
Max exhaled and clung to his daughter. "You're fortunate that someone waits for you; I only have Erika.
However, it is if you plan to stay in what you find a way out, I think the ideal thing is that you do it with us since because of the skills you have, it can be dangerous if you are alone. "
Flavio scratched his cheek. "You may be right, anyway I promised myself that I would not part with Marie for a long time.
Besides, I always like to return to Mexico, even if it's from another dimension. "
Max just laughed as he walked. "I would be happy to buy you a drink, but I have a statement to make in congress.
But at night, how about having some agave tequila. "
"I would love to."
After this, the two men walked towards the exit, while in some room, a man was watching through a screen with a smile on his face.
"A Norseman and his daughter or A god and his daughter.
What a wonder you have brought me, haha ​​... "
