The barrier of instructors and advanced students was broken.
The students who meet the villagers in the halls, are being attacked, the children struggle with their brushes and swords that they find in the halls, some of them with the use of staffs... the strength of the thugs is overwhelming, only physical strength exceeds that of children.
The villagers who have run have died by the sword or claws, as well as spells of the evil ones, those who fought, many of them dismembered by beasts.
Between the fuss.
INKU is pulled by his master, critically wounded, with his clothes bloodied, pulls him through different rooms, the monks and villagers are being torn apart, INKU and his teacher are in a room alone, the teacher talks to him distressed as he guides him to a table, but INKU fails to hear him, the teacher lifts a picture under the table, pushes the child into the hollow , and although the child puts resistance, the teacher puts him in the hole, in which there is a slope, a grate opens under him and is thrown into the drain.
Then the teacher covers the floor with the table on one side, this is the last thing the child looks at, everything was covered in darkness, hears that, men enter the room and how they argue are their teacher, the child wants to scream but no sound comes out of his mouth, alone... listens to his teacher fall to the floor.
INKU is left lying on the floor of the drain in silence, in the dark, his heart beats rapidly, the horror and fear of what they have lived have not allowed him to move, he just trembled with fear and cold, in the past several days before he had moved.
He remembers the image of when the teacher put him in the drain hole, he tries to remember his words, the scene is repeated again, and then he manages to listen.
What the teacher said to him that time: son, you must live, it is up to you to make a difference, grow and become strong, only until then, you will fight when you are ready, as long as you live, we will be alive too.
We believe in you, I believe in you INKU.
At the heart of INKU is a pain, so many mixed feelings that you have carried a lot of time with it.
The INKU child begins to cry at full throttle, without taking care of the sound of his crying, gradually his body becomes the young man he is today...
Now he must leave his sorrow and honor all those who died, living with dignity and courage, above all, forgive himself.
He blamed himself for being so young, for lacking strength at the time, for the fact that everyone died.
He lived many years with the guilt of continuing to live.
INKU, understanding it weeps, but with great peace of mind, remembering his friends and teachers in the escribano temple.
INKU, begins to feel his body moist, feels that a distant light blinds him and advances fast until he reaches it.
Almost, instantly, wake up in the lake, see the other unconscious lay-downs, be alarmed.
She rushes to lift OKE who, is nearby and a voice tells her not to, should not wake her yet.
INKU turns following the origin of the voice, sees a hooded man sitting by a bedside table on the shore of the lake, he tells him that she must wage her own battle.
INKU, distrusts that man, rises in a hurry looking for his weapons, knows how unarmed, the man tells him that they are in the wagon... INKU interrogates him, why are the others in the lake, what has he done to them?
The man with a serene voice explains, they are under a test.
Facing ISSA is more than just going into battle.
AISU and its demons are ready to attack in every way possible... even the soul of humans... that's why this test is to know if you'll let them continue.
This leaves more doubt than answers in INKU.
Will you let them continue?
Who's that man?
Why could he intervene on his way to NANEKI?
INKU tells you that you will wake everyone up, they don't have time for your games.
The man gives him to decide his wants to wake them up.
They could lose their lives in the process, as the spell does not end until there is a decision... as with KEKI in the castle.
INKU is surprised, as he knows about it.
Did you read your mind?
The man tells him that it is best to wait for everyone to decide for himself.
He doesn't know, he's only got the only option to let him go on.
There's no evidence they're in danger.
INKU notices that the ground under it is firm, the man tells him that it will be while the spell is active.
INKU stands up and calmer, sits next to OKE.
