We know, dear reader (Who is Bierny and what is a Prays?)
I will tell you about the childhood, and part of the adolescence in the life of Vallemar in the Ancashy world.
Since ancient times there are legends that commonly tell us about marine creatures and very unusually swampy creatures, the former living in the sea, the latter in swamps and rivers, whose special quality is their ecological and environmental powers.
"Well, we don't all believe in those things, because most of us believe in what they can see, and never in what they can feel." The paradox is that while humans lack faith; in the Ancashy Region, —the world parallel to ours— the Alghalys creatures, which inhabit river mouths and in the adjacent swamps, are preparing for a new cycle of nativity; when on the night of the 24th, at 12 o'clock on the meridian, the star of Bethlehem rises from Hades, which is plucked every year, from the heart of Leviathan, - an end imposed by the almighty to remind him of his evil and the vigilance of the hidden light in it - so that it shines to the world and, thus, the emissaries of the Ancashy Kingdom can guide themselves towards the portal that unites their world with the world of humans.
This time, the offerings will not be splendid gifts, but dark news, that if not attended with the haste that a century allows, will affect both worlds. It is about the antagonistic theme of the marine tributaries and the new climax, for the future oil exploitation; whose field tests in the underwater environment have begun to affect the humans of the Ancash Region and this night of nativity will affect the parallel world of the Ancashy Region.
When Vallemar was still little, his grandfather, former king of his people, told him: all the beautiful things in the world ... And, according to his own grandfather, everything changed when man appeared; he used to say: the most abominable beast is man and his science. Despite the fact that the rivers drag everything in their path, until they fall into the sea. They also renew salts and minerals and organic waste in the seabed adjacent to their mouths. Practically the Alghalys world owes its power to this renewed nature that the almighty provides every year. Ecosystems are renewable cycles that allow the balance of the elements earth, air, water and fire.
Vallemar's grandfather did not like the man and with good reason, in the first place: because the nuclear tests, carried out in the Nevado Huascarán cave at the doors of the nativity of the year 1970, had caused an explosion in the sidereal chain , caused a hecatomb that destroyed 50% of both worlds, in the sierra sector: Yungay town, an area of the Ancash Region, was buried by an avalanche of mud and large masses of ice detached from the snow. Towards the mouth of the Lacramarca river in the coastal sector, the city of Chimbote, considered the first fishing port in the world, everything was rubble, buildings, railways, hills split in half, with sports fields of stadiums that would have been, which mouths swallowing both spectators, players, countless cars, carts, horses and donkeys. That night was total chaos and there are omens that this story could repeat itself, with immeasurable magnitudes with the human mentality, but if predictable with the mentality of King Vallemar.
