I opened my eyes a little exalted, at the same time moving my arm involuntarily towards my lower abdomen, near my navel, where the feeling of pulling vanished, as if that feeling of being pulled had been my imagination all along.
Glancing to my left, I saw Valka, without her armor and sporting her usual black garments, and though perhaps it was just my judgment, I thought I saw her looking paler than usual.
"If you ever do anything like that again, I'll put you to sleep forever myself," Valka spoke to me in a tone that promised pain, but looking into her coal-black eyes, I managed to see her hidden anguish.
Getting up, I heard the rattling of my bones, sounding as if I hadn't moved in several days, "you have a lot of things to explain, sir," Valka commented, going to a large table and pouring some water into a glass and then handing it to me after returning to my side.
Receiving the glass of water, I stared into Valka's eyes, who didn't look away from me, "I thought I would lose you," Valka, in an almost whispered tone, said to me, resting her right palm on my cheek. I sighed, angry at how the situation had escalated so much to the point where Valka and I almost died.
"I thought I lost you too," I said, grabbing her hand on my cheek and pulling it up to my lips, where I moved on to kiss her knuckles. "When I saw you fall, something in me came alive, I don't know how to detail it, but it was as if new doors to something completely unknown opened for me."
Sitting down on the bed, Valka looked at me sweetly, as she rubbed her fingers through my long hair, "I felt that," she assured me, causing me to frown a little, "that power," she explained, perhaps seeing my confused expression, "I had never seen that power up close, it was something beautiful and terrifying at the same time, if there is an apt comparison, I would say I was seeing Herobrine in person."
That surprised me, partly because as far as I knew, Herobrine was a much-mentioned character in the Minecraft fandom, in which they said he was a human, similar to Steve, only with white eyes and with the power to build and destroy things at will.
But up to there I knew about him, but now, Valka revealed to me the fact that Herobrine could exist, something that filled my head with intrusive and unhealthy thoughts, partly because no matter how powerful I believed myself to be, I was still a mortal person, someone who could die if I did not take the necessary measures to avoid it, and sure, with the help of totems and potions I could make my life and health lengthen, but beyond that, it could not give me true immortality, only a false assurance of life.
And, judging by my power, by the power I had manifested in that battle, I knew what was more in me than I knew myself, which led me to think about what else I could do. So far my gifts allowed me to access a Minecraft single-player menu in creative mode, along with the ability to fly, but...
Could I teleport or use commandos? Those forces had a terrifying power, able to change the weather at will, assassinate someone from a distance, and change reality to the point of managing to make modifications to the game that could not be done otherwise if not for the commandos. The possibilities were endless, and it filled me with longing and jealousy.
"What do you know about this Herobrine?" I asked Valka, wanting to know more about this guy and his relevance, and thus to know if he could pose a danger to me and what I had built so far. "I don't know much about him, only that he was the creator of the Dark Age, that era when the sun didn't rise for more than four centuries, it was a very lethal time for everyone, there was famine, wars for supplies, brothers fought against brothers, parents killed their children so as not to see them suffer, it was even said that the Warden returned to their caves when they saw so much chaos on the surface."
Was it the Dark Age? Had Minecraft, or the place from which they provided all those he had summoned gone through something similar to the long night that had occurred in this world? From Valka's words, it seemed that it was true. "Why do you say he was the creator of said Dark Age?"
"Why did he destroy the sun," was Valka's answer, which made my skin crawl, 'destroyed the sun?' Hahaha, I could destroy a mountain and thought I was invincible, but now it turns out that there was someone capable of destroying a sun, wasn't this something crazy?
"In his holy war to destroy Notch and title himself as the supreme god of Minecraft, and after coming out defeated, Herobrine devised a plan to wipe out everything his brother had built and created, destroying the sun for all of Minecraft to self-destruct itself, in the end, the most powerful minds and the most skilled beings managed to revive the sun..." Valka continued to explain while trying to remember as much as she could.
Valka looked at her hands, looking a little anxious, without looking up, "But the damage was already done, billions had died, the earth took eight generations to heal, and from there, the villagers have had to fight every night against all those creatures that were born from the Dark Age and are afraid of the light."
"It wasn't a nice thing to witness, how sorry I am that that was the past of your world Valka," I said, wanting to let her know that I was with her and that if she needed it, I would support her in everything. "Don't worry, I didn't live through that anyway, that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, and I'm still too young for that," Valka said with a chuckle as she mentioned the last part, lightening the mood a bit, "if you want to know more, you should talk to Micaela, she is the oldest witch I know who has crossed over into this world thanks to you, as far as I know, she was a child when the Dark Age started, just be kind in respecting if she doesn't want to talk about it, she has lived a long life, a life full of tragedy and crying."
"I'll ask her another day, now I'd like to..." Now that I remembered, I didn't remember how I had come to this room, nor why I had turned out lying on this bed that didn't belong to me, "by the way, where are we?" I asked Valka, confused about my situation and not remembering things. Until I opened my eyes in surprise and looked at Valka, she answered me what I was thinking just by looking at her eyes.
"You went through a memory loss again," Valka said, making my mood drop a little, that was something that had happened a few times, so far, it was something that happened every time I summoned many thinking beings in a single day or very regularly, which caused me to lose consciousness and memories. And apparently, it had happened again.
"I just remember we were in a battle, and Something threw you out of your wyvern, what did I miss?" I asked Valka, wanting to fill in the gaps in my mind that had been forcibly taken from me. Valka got up from the bed and walked over to the table where she had previously served the water, and brought with her a huge book, which was glowing, and then sat back down and rested the book in my lap, "Look it over for yourself, I don't know how strong your memory loss is right now, so this is the best option."
Opening the book, which had been a book that Valka had been writing every day after I lost my memory for the first time, in which she wrote all the important and not relevant events for me to read and learn about what I didn't know, it was a crude method of memory retrieval, but it was the best way to know about things since even regeneration potions didn't work for that.
