In the temple, INKU is one of the most prepared adults throughout these years, he calls everyone present to the central hall of the temple, he knows that, his weak point is his son. For this reason, he orders to bring all the young people in shelter, the adults make them enter a circle inside the room. Young people do not know what it is, but they obey. Upon entering, some of the adults, fixed at strategic points, form with brief prayer a barrier that surrounds the circle that encloses the apprentices. It is then that, they know what it is, despite the fact that their son, as well as some, refuse to be left out of intervention. INKU stands firm, only warns them that, they will stay inside the temple with 2 of the most dedicated and strong masters, taking care of them, everyone else, will face the threat. INKU challenges his father to give him a good explanation, he does not wish to be protected as a coward. INKU, remembers that he himself, he believed, felt the same way, when he was saved by one of his teachers. Notice the helplessness and anger in your child's eyes, not just in him. If not, in some of the young people who have tried to break the seal that contains them. The others begin to advance out of that room. INKU is still standing near the circle. The 2 men chosen went with the boys to the center of the temple, these men put different scrolls, 7 in total around a circle on the floor that has the symbol of CHOSEN, despite the complaints of INKU son, INKU, speaks to him, not only as a father, and not only to him. If not, he speaks to them as a teacher of the SCRIBE TEMPLE. He addresses his son, asks him that, for the same reason, that he is the son of the teacher, he is the one who must most set the example and protect himself for the next generation, if for some reason, the teachers come to perish, it is the duty of the apprentices to survive, to resurrect hope in the world. This reprimand hurts INKU, then, swallowing his words of protest, with a lump in his throat, he is silent, they make all the young people come to their senses. The masters place the last scroll. By putting it on, a power of light is activated that protects them from anything, but also retains them without being able to leave. As his father leaves the room, as the last of those who will fight. INKU son, he senses the worst and gets upset trying to get out, he feels that it will be the last time he sees those men... He senses danger to his father and is afraid that he will not be able to do anything at this time, he tries to suppress his craving, he knows himself observed by others. Like the other young people, he is nervous, there is too much tension on the faces of the young INKU protests, he, he feels that he must go out, he must help, precisely as the son of the master, he feels that he must go out to fight. He has muttered it quietly, between his teeth. One of the men catches his eye, with a serious and clamoring voice, he asks, don't you realize that this was requested by your father? If the master was the one who asked for it, it has been for one reason only. And it is because he firmly believes that they can be salvation if adults fail, INKU is shocked... while his heart has accelerated, his eyes threaten, filling with tears that he refuses to let fall. It moves away from the edge of the circle. His face is saddened and he stops fighting... this goes beyond what she expected, her father, the most powerful man she knows, in truth... he feels that he can die... men will be guarding the entrance of this hall. Only the young people locked in the enclosure have been left. The other SCRIBES leave the temple, observe that, they are surrounded... there are many evil... some physically altered, other ordinary men riding beasts... it's a tense moment. There are no guarantees of getting away with it. They only have weapons, their brushes and scrolls. After an instant of measuring auras, the first side to move are the evil ones. The first were launched into a direct fight against the scribes, who repel with scrolls of fire and explosives, others with the use of their weapon, the brush. At first instance, it seems that these beings do not have as much attack power, but there are many, so some have filtered between the ranks and reached them. The SCRIBES, use their brushes to return the attack of their swords and axes in hand-to-hand fighting. However, the situation changes, the horde of evil ones has arrived, which reinforces the attack, among them there are beings who were physically altered on the verge of deforming their bodies and carry very heavy weapons. INKU, knows that this is more than THE SCRIBES will be able to bear, those abominations, seem to have no reasoning. He feels the same as he did when his teacher died. For the first time in a long time, remember that fear. OKE, has already arrived outside the temple and joins the fight from the rear, she still has skill in the fight, ignoring the danger to which she has been exposed, she is motivated by the safety of her children, she does not want to lose her family or INKU.
