"Quasi!!!, Motherfucker!... You can't do this to me now!!!, damn you Quasi wake up!!!", I hear Huanca's voice as my mind starts to come to its senses, "Axel, bitch, Wake up now!!!", Huanca's voice calls me back to reality.
Little by little the light returns to my eyes, everything gradually makes sense, however my mind can't let go of those memories, new memories that until long ago were hidden deep in the recesses of my mind.
"Miss Bett...", I whisper in a low voice, low enough not to be heard, however, Huanca seems to notice this and quickly sits me against the wall on the side, he watches me with shining eyes while a slight smile appears on his face.
"Quasimodo... Are you okay?", Huanca asks, I blink twice, my eyes focus on the man in front of me, or rather, the teenager.
Unconsciously a smile forms on my face, a big smile,.
"I...", I pause, taking a moment to calm down, I sigh almost slowly as I squint my eyes, "Do you remember the first day of class with Miss Bett?", I unconsciously ask.
He's lying, I can tell by the way he avoids my gaze, the way his hands are shaking slightly, his breathing is a little accelerated and his eyes are shining.
Huanca with narrowed eyes looks at me, he licks his lips before simply saying, "No, I don't remember."
"I see," I reply as I breathe more normally, unconsciously looking up the seemingly endless spiral staircase, "April 1st" a voice escapes from my lips.
Huanca doesn't understand, his eyes are still half closed while he seems to be thinking about something important, "April 1st", I repeat unconsciously, I still can't remember everything that has happened in my childhood, however, this date "April 1st", must be important.
"Miss... Bett...", Huanca stammers slightly, it's as if he's looking for some words to express his thoughts, "Forget it, -Quasi, Miss Bett doesn't exist, now, we must concentrate on what's important", Huanca looks at me with determined eyes and I nod my head.
"What happened? Why did you faint all of a sudden?", he asks the question, a slight smile passes over my face as I blink once.
"I remembered something related to Miss Bett," I say with an enviable calm for my mental state.
"I see...", Huanca nods, he moves away a little as if he was thinking about something important.
"That's right", if I wait for Huanca to do something else I take several steps forward after standing up, at the drawing carved on the metal door...
"Hmph," I make a light noise with my mouth before quickly walking up to the metal door, the pattern carved on the door having changed.
Well, the snake is now in the sky, the hand pointing its index finger has disappeared and the snake is coiled around a giant cloud.
"The pattern is different, it's because of your primordial energy," Huanca quickly approaches and his hand rests on the snake between the clouds, his arm shakes slightly and in just an instant he bursts out laughing.
"Hahahaha,", He quickly pats me on the back, "I hadn't noticed because I've been watching your ass these last few minutes, but," Huanca almost shouts with joy, "The damn pattern is finally complete!!!"
Huanca shouts with joy before starting to jump for joy doing some things I can't describe, little by little his mind seems to stabilize and, after his euphoria of joy, he looks at me, "You must have received the legacy," Huanca looks at me, he seems unable to contain his joy.
Legacy?
I don't understand, my eyes focus on Huanca, "Don't you understand? Capricorn has blessed us!!!", Huanca grabs my shoulders, his smile eerily visible, his white teeth and eyes fixed on me making my heart skip a beat.
"I...", Huanca quickly walks away and then starts to calm down again, "I mean, he has blessed you, soon, soon we will be able to escape from Arlott...", I don't understand Huanca's words, somehow he seems too different from the Huanca I remember.
For now I decide to just ignore Huanca and go back to focusing on the metal door.
"What does Huanca mean?", I think, I can't understand it, however, unconsciously or almost by instinct I give a push to the metal door.
*Squeak*
The pushed metal door opens slowly, little by little revealing a world inside.
Green grass, abundant trees, vegetation, is what can be seen with the metal door wide open.
I take a step forward, raise my head slightly just to see a blue sky, it's like entering a small world, Huanca behind me quickly takes several steps forward and begins to touch the bark of a giant tree over ten meters high.
"It's just like Capricorn said...", Huanca mutters, his hand that has a kind of small knife in it quickly begins to carve something in the bark of the tree.
"On the night of the full moon he who possesses the energy of which the universe is composed must enter the subway city to receive his Legacy....", Huanca murmurs while he carves a kind of pattern or seal on the tree.
I watch him, his body trembling slightly as he turns around to look at me.
"The energy of which the universe is composed is the primordial energy, Quasi, hehehehe..." Huanca begins to chuckle slightly, "Wait, What does he mean by this?"
My hand slowly goes to the hilt of my sword, Huanca notices this and simply smiles showing his teeth, "What I mean is obvious, Quasi, the legacy that Capricorn talks so much about belongs to you, but, Why?, you know, I've been thinking...", Huanca pauses slightly rubbing the back of his neck.
"What have you done to deserve the Legacy, you are not a man who goes through life doing good, you are not a dedicated man either, many times you don't even make an effort and you just procrastinate...", Huanca smiles, in fact, he is right, although I don't like the way he says it.
"Tell me, what have you done...", Huanca asks with a voice full of seriousness, his brown skin contrasts with the light while his completely serious expression leaves no room for doubt, Huanca knows something.
"The fact that we're all here is your fault, I have no proof, but... well, my doubts are almost minimal," Huanca takes a step forward, "I guess I should thank you, this world is better than the peaceful shitty world I lived in before...", Huanca closes his eyes to think.
"What...", I licked my slightly dry lips, "I don't understand anything, you look like a mentally ill person...", I smirked. "I still don't know if 'Capricorn' is a god or an imaginary friend of yours", I lie, I know that Huanca's powers are real, otherwise, How would I have gotten here?, however, somehow, I don't want to answer Huanca's question.
"Never mind, it's probably because of something you did in the previous world, they say that the strongest wishes are those that are fulfilled...", Huanca nods his head as he looks at me with a wrinkled face, he seems to be very amused.
"I wish...", I repeat softly, to my mind comes the image of Miss Bett, her perfect face, so perfect that having pores and facial hair is an offense to her beauty.
If there was one thing I wished for with all my fervor the day I met Miss Bett, it was that her beauty would not be overshadowed by those pores and facial hair.
"We should look for Caero...", I mutter under my breath, ignoring Huanca's delusions, he just shakes his head with an almost fake smile and accepts. "In fact, I don't care what happens with CAero or Diana, I've already completed my mission, Capricorn will give me a gift again...", Huanca sighs.
" However, this one's for you, baby...", Huanca smiles before he reaches over and pats me on the shoulder, after all, you're still that little boy who needs help, he winks at me.
Huanca jokes, I simply ignore him and start walking, my hands serve to move the branches of some weeds that obstruct my path, all the while walking in a straight line.
As I advance, a slight bitter sensation passes through my body, an empty feeling, a stinging sensation through my soul.
Some time later...
*Strike*
Not too far away I can hear the collision of two things, from the sound it sounds like dry wood colliding with dry wood.
I quickly begin to use my primordial energy to cover my body and improve my sight as well as my senses.
More carefully I continue to move deeper into the forest, Huanca always behind me, little by little, advancing slowly.
The sound of wood hitting wood is now accompanied by some light shouting, it's like people fighting.
I move faster and stealthier, thanks to the primordial energy I have a perception that I can sense people not too far away.
The screams become louder and along with that the roars of beasts, as well as the moans of pain.
