Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: False Friendship

On the outskirts of a kingdom there was a family that was made up of the father who was the leader of a legion, the mother, a woman who won the father's heart, and their two children, the eldest named Axel and the youngest who was a small in their first years of life, they were part of a lineage of blacksmiths who sought to make the most resistant and powerful armor to protect the kingdom but because the materials to make it were extremely difficult to obtain and transport due to the nature of the material, but over time and with the passing of generations, each blacksmith of each generation of the family made a part of the armor that over time would be completed until reaching Axel who at his young age showed great interest in the blacksmith shop and since then he has concentrated on making the last part of the armor so that they can finally use it and more than anything he wanted his father to use it, and then we get to the moment where Axel is behind his house in his own work area, several hammer blows could be heard until they stopped. - Finally after so many generations! I finished the last part! -He shouted with great emotion at achieving the goal of so many generations. Upon hearing this, his mother went to his work area.

- This is historic, you just have to wait for your father to come home and see your finished work, while you think you can rest a little, my son - she said with a calm voice but a little worried when she saw that her son achieved what several generations were put together over time.

- You're right, mother, I should rest, after all it was a long time of work- he said with a tired voice, but with enthusiasm. They both left there and headed inside their house where the younger sister was sleeping in her room. They both entered. and they began to eat dinner while they waited for the father's arrival.

After a while the father was returning, but he did not come alone, he was being accompanied by his best friend who he invited to dinner with the family. Axel, upon seeing his father's arrival through the window, ran out and gave him a big hug. he hugs without realizing the presence of the person accompanying him.

- Father, you finally arrived! I have to show you something amazing! -Axel said as he pulled him by the arm in the direction of the blacksmith shop behind the house.

- And what do you want to show me with so much emotion? -Said the father with a touch of confusion, but happy to see his son so excited. Axel took his father to the blacksmith shop behind the house, while the father's friend followed them silently.

- Look Father! I finally managed to finish it! See what you can do now that it's finished! -He said: Axel samples, he put on a part of the armor, which was from the forearm and shortly after putting it on, it released freezing frost and in demonstration mode, he took a work tool and froze it completely.

- son! -said the father with concern when he saw what he did, while his friend was just analyzing carefully and observing.

- Don't worry, father, I'm fine, I can control it well, look - At the moment of saying that, the frost disappeared and the tool defrosted.

- I see that you control it well, but I'm a little worried about what that can do- he said, a little worried. - I say it is impressive and with great potential - Said the father's friend with curiosity and with the intention of knowing more.

- True, yes! This is what our family has done for generations trying to complete this armor and I finally finished it,- said Axel, who was proud of his work.

- Yes... I see that - said the father's friend, who at that moment hits the father from behind, knocking him out instantly and heading towards Axel to remove the other parts of his armor.

- What... what are you doing? - Axel said, confused with him because his father's best friend did that, while at the same time he put himself in a defensive position so that he wouldn't be able to take the parts of the armor. At that same moment, the part of the armor he was wearing begins to bring out the freezing frost again, trying to freeze him, but he manages to avoid Axel's blow by pulling him and taking him to the ground.

- This is the order of the kingdom, don't take it personally, child,- he said as he was taking the parts of the armor to take them with him.

- You won't take anything! -Axel said as he grabbed his knee, trying to prevent him from taking the armor, but at the same time causing the part of the armor he was wearing to begin to radiate heat instead of the freezing frost, which caused it to begin to burn. He lived his father's friend who, panicking, ran around trying to put out the fire on his body, but instead, it only caused everything to start catching fire around him. At that moment, the father, who was knocked out due to his friend's blow, woke up. He saw what happened and tried to get his son out of there. 

-NO! You go away father, save mom and my sister! runs! -Axel said desperately as everything began to collapse on top of him and his father, with pain in his eyes, ran out of there in search of his daughter and his wife to get them out before everything burned, but soon he came out. From there he found a group of knights of which he was the leader, but for a reason they were pointing their swords at him.

Without time to ask, he had to face them to be able to reach his daughter and his wife, although he fought with great courage and courage because they outnumbered him, he ended up without strength and although they had stabbed him many times, he continued standing until he gave his death. last breath and lying lifeless on the ground.

While Axel, who was under the burned rubble, listened to every blow that his father gave to each knight until he only heard the cries of his sister and his mother outside until there was only silence, at that moment when thinking about the worst with his last forces trying to get out of the burned rubble without any success to get out, until finally the flames consumed him along with the armor which was still on top of him, and everything was covered in ashes, the house completely burned and the blacksmith shop destroyed. , the knights inspected the area but, not finding what they were looking for, decided to leave the place, which was only left in ashes and pieces.

At that moment, beneath all the rubble, the armor was radiating a glow that could not be seen since they were deep in the rubble. It was doing something with Axel's charred body... it was uniting with him, in a way. rare, but for which time would have to pass to complete the union so that he could live once more...
