Chapter 2 - Oscilians Volume 8. Whispers of War. Conan & Buster.

Conan is transformed into a black lion in the forest, up on a hill, a Falcon looks at him in the distance in a threatening way. Conan has a scar on the eye where the Falcon is so it can be said that he does not see it. After a few minutes, the haughty, giant Falcon with outstretched wings tries to attack the Black Lion, but he dodges the attack with ease. The Falcon then decides to turn around to distract the black lion, which is alert waiting for the attack. The Falcon gains momentum and as a missile goes towards the black lion which remains motionless, then at about ten meters it rises a little and puts its claws in front of it to nail them to the black lion, and it succeeds, it manages to nail the claws into a shoulder, with the momentum the black lion has to use all his strength not to fall. The Falcon tries to remove its claws to continue with the attack but it is useless, it cannot move, so the Black Lion stops tensing its muscles, let's go of the Falcon to grab its wings with its fangs, turn around and throw it to the ground with force. The Falcon stops quickly, while the Black Lion approaches. As he walks, the black lion transforms into Conan who puts back in the eye patch, while the Falcon transforms into Buster.

- I think you have become a little slow friend. - Conan says.

- You did not know how to take advantage of it, your strength has diminished a lot, in other times you would have broken my wing. - Buster answers.

Conan and Buster stand staring at the horizon.

- I like to come here to think, away from everything ... I feel like I can take off my mask for a moment ... only you and Leo know this place ... -Conan says something nostalgic.

Buster doesn't respond, just breathes the fresh air. The sunset in front of them is beautiful, the plants seem to dance with the wind. Conan breaks the silence.

- That is why I know that if you are here it is because you have bad news.

- Apart from several small attacks in our towns we are fine. They have not been rivals for us in battle ... but ... my friend ... our soldiers are tired ... we are losing food resources, I know that in strength and strategy we can win this war, but ... I don't know if We will be able to hold out for a long time ... Despite the attack on the farms in the kingdom, they have ten times more fertile land, plants, livestock, well ... our only source of water is the natural dam that we built in Fastegui. I worry that poisoned children are a distraction to something worse.

- I know ... that's why I asked Leo to investigate ... I'm sure we can hold out ... I'm forming a strategy to take ground away from the kingdom. We can try to destroy the snake part by part and end with the head.

Buster puts on a less than optimistic face.

- We will achieve it friend ... we may not have resources, but I know something that was a woman does not have, sweetheart. We strive to make this world a better place for the offspring to come ... she only has an ego.

Buster nods his head with a smile.

- I'll organize a tactic plan of attack with the boys ...

Conan nods his head. Buster transforms into the Falcon and quickly leaves. Conan makes a fist with his left hand which he clenches, then puts his bare arm up, and little by little you can see a dragon tattoo emerging from under his skin. Conan relaxes his arm and just stares at the horizon, the little sun that remains. A Black Lion disappears.
