chapter 26

Point of view, Eliz...

That thing I could see in that witch's house was a real monster, it wasn't a possession or a common spirit, that animal was a real jackal when it came to destruction.

It was an ancestral gorilla, it is most likely the owner of that book of magic, my brother has never faced it, me less, our parents did, but they almost lost their lives in the process.

Amon, that's the name of this cursed ancestral relic, we need the book to be able to finish with the enemies that could be presented to us in the future, but instead this cursed gorilla will finish with my life.

It is a pact of Blood for Blood, I looked at my brother who was driving very scared because although he could not see what was chasing us, he could still feel it, feel its presence.

With my heart on a string and asking all the gods that once preceded me for their gifts and strength, their immortality and at the same time their delicate mortality to give me enough time so that my brother could cross the barrier and not get hurt.

I know that if my brother and his girlfriend survive my sacrifice will not be in vain, I said goodbye to him and got out of the car, at that moment and for the first time in a long time I was afraid of death.

I got between that thing and my family, I crossed his path while he was coming like a soul that carries the same hell between his veins, there was so much anger in his being that it was scary.

That thing attacked me with all its strength, it made me retreat just a few centimeters but I still continued firm against the enemy, I felt how my organs were compressed by a great force, to such an extent that I could only spit blood, it looked at me with such tenacity and hatred that I could feel how it wanted to annihilate my soul with a single breath.

I pushed with all my strength that demon of the Underworld, and even so I could not make him retreat even a few centimeters from me, he placed his hand on my neck, I could not avoid it, although I hit him to try to harm him, that was an ancestral being, I was not even going to cause him a scratch.

I could feel how the asphyxiation was making my eyes pop out of their orbs and I could hear how the bones of my neck were breaking, but this was not all, that animal began to hit me with his free hand as if I were a punching bag.

I could feel how each one of my organs broke into a thousand pieces, with each blow it was a new and indescribable sensation of agonizing pain to such an extent that I felt that my life would end in just seconds.

I closed my eyes to let myself go to hell if that place required my presence, I had no reason to resist any longer, but there was something that pulled me out of my hurt subconscious.

My mother and father were here, but what were they doing here, they were outside the barrier, they could lose their lives, just for a foolishness on my part, for having messed with a witch to protect my brother.
