Chapter 31: A Time for Everything
POV ALFREDI didn't go after Selena, but I can assure you that my soul did. Because from that hour until dawn, I stood still, staring at the window in her room.In those hours, the whole of Skyfall is asleep after a restless night. As long as the full moon lasted, the wolves would not rest for a day. And once again, I fail as a leader because of human affairs of the heart. Life is demanding of me a choice that should not exist. There are pieces that don't fit together and only the old mother and father can give me some answers.I jump out the window onto the street, avoiding meeting my mother who is in the living room. I am an Alpha, but my mother's instinct is that of a she-wolf protecting her cub. And as much as I adore her, at this moment I am unable to explain this maze we are being dragged through since the bloody day the Rockfellers trampled Skyfall."It's no use just blaming them, Alfred. The guardians fulfill our good and bad wishes. And Selena's have been fulfilled, althoug

Chapter 32: The Gypsy
POV Richard "Aren't you going to tell me what the young lady wanted?" My father suddenly appears looking for me in the courtyard and luckily the wild girl is already gone and it is necessary to close my hand so that he does not notice the small wound that is slowly bleeding."Nothing. It was just a false alarm. For sure sent by Alfred to ensnare us" I lie as naturally as my father hides his secrets "Anyway, get ready, we will leave tomorrow" I announce, sure of myself and my results."Without Selena? No way!" He speaks and if I didn't know my father's greed, I'd say I'm not the only passionate one here."No, she will come with us. I'll pick her up tonight" I communicate before leaving his presence, thus avoiding his next questions.I return to the interior of the house, which involves passing first through the kitchen, then the dining room where I left my father half an hour ago making his breakfast, and now, next to my usual seat, is Lilian, dressed in pink and with an elaborate hai

Chapter 33: The Diary
POV RICHARD"What diary? That's the only important thing I assimilate from that conversation.I'm a practical man and I hate these poetic beatings to speak the fucking truth. And I will make this gypsy talk, even if I had to forcefully grab her arm to do it.By some misfortune, a man with a cart came toward us, and both she and I jumped to opposite sides to escape the impact.After three coughs from the stench of the goat-smelling haystacks that were being transported in the wagon, I get up to look for her."Shit!" I scream as I accept that she was gone and my eyes fail to identify her in that crowd.But in compensation, my gaze goes to meet the clock inside the ticket booth and I am almost beat the minutes reconciled with my accomplice.I rush off and there is no time for those filth to pester me again with their trinkets or existential problems. And at the same place we agreed upon, my man elected to be my right hand man with rewards of silver coins, awaits me with a smile on his f

Chapter 34: The Betrayal
POV SELENAThe night of the fight Alfred's window light stayed on all night and went out at dawn when the fire consumed the wood.He didn't sleep and neither did I, even though I pretended that I did by putting out my little poorly designed fireplace in the corner of the room.If this was another one of our jokes about who endures more,I would be in the lead. But, we are grown ups and it is important to know how to save time and dispense with pride. And maybe "we are" is not the right word, but "I" is.I didn't let him explain his reasons when he more than anyone else, after my parents, understands better about traditions, attitudes and the right words to convince the stubborn hearts of Skyfall. I am determined to go there or who knows, maybe it's better to call him out the window. A lingering indecision, and unhappily, robs me of the chance, because Alfred sneaks out his window and doesn't even glance at mine. Also, what difference would it make if I am kneeling, with only my eyes

Chapter 35: The New Self
POV AKIRA SELENAIf my throat wasn't stuck in a knot due to the crying I swallowed, I would vomit right in the middle of the meal space after I left Alfred's room. But, pain always finds a way to return to the surface, no matter how much we are the ones sinking it. Being, no doubt, a solitary leaf floating on the crystal clear waters of the river of our soul, although, inexplicably it weighs like a rock.I feel there is no other direction to go but back to my home and go to Richard's rescue.I regret so much that I gave in to these Skyfall beliefs when the end result is my dead parents and my naivety lost to Alfred who seduced me into this sea of lies that most Skyfallers will continue to believe.There are no guardians, no holy wolves, and sure enough, the diamonds Alfred gave me were fake. My blindness was also nothing more than a trick Alfred pulled, and my expulsion was an act by taking advantage of my parents' trust to manipulate them. As for the bird, it was also an unfortunate

Chapter 36: A Victorious Night
POV RICHARD "Don't shoot! They are sacred, they come to visit on the night of the full moon" Selena says and I don't think she would defend wild animals than me. She doesn't know they are humans let alone know they are her breeding parents. So how can I understand her asking me not to react, when at the slightest carelessness or movement, these ferocious animals would rip my arm off!I just don't shoot yet, because a shot would make too much noise and I don't know if all the skyfallers are far enough away not to come and play hero. Besides, I have a deal with the wild girl and she could very well expose me to everyone, including Akira Selena, if I break it. The wild girl is not one for threats only and my neck is in evidence. So the only way is to continue with my initial plan."No, Selena. They attacked your parents, took their bodies to the forest. I tried to help, but I couldn't. If you don't believe me, follow the traces of blood and you'll see for yourself."It's not hard to

Chapter 37: The Birth of a Guardian
POV ALFRED At the appointed time, Amanayara knocked on the door. We would both be alone, because my mother would be in the village center with the other women, and when it was dawn, she would go for a walk with the other wolves. She is one of the many single women in Skyfall. But I prefer to say, that they are free and obedient only to their own desires. After she met my father and he died preventing the last white men from invading the city, she did not give her soul to anyone. The body, yes, because he is alive and his wills do not always align with his heart. And it is trivial to hand it over, unlike the heart, where if you are deeply scarred, there is nothing that will wipe the mark left behind. Neither time nor the promise of a serene and safe life. True love likes risks and cliff jumps, since it has wings, as old dad wanted to teach me. Mine and Selena's will have to learn it in the midst of storms, and one of them is waiting for me to open the door... "Amanayara..." I

Chapter 38: The Rage of the Guardians
POV RichardI woke up without waiting for the chimes of six o'clock in the morning, and without a doubt, there is no better alarm clock than the euphoria of a new day when the dream is close to becoming reality. It gets us in higher spirits than drinking a whole barrel of wine and sets us running just as if we were going to see the results of an important bet.I jump out of bed, and the valises and trunks being ready, I worry first about my shower, and next would be breakfast. It will be our first with family, and I will be kind enough to allow Selena to use cutlery only today. But in the future, I will be intolerant of the rules of etiquette, and if necessary, there will be punishments to eliminate that wild side of my sweet, future disgraced wife once and for all.Thinking about them is as much fun as imagining what Alfred's face must look like when he wakes up and receives the sad news from last night. Or that he would never wake up again, or at least while we were in Skyfall. I do

Chapter 39: The Guardians Omit
POV ALFRED "Where are you going?" Aucaman blocks my steps, using his burly body as a barrier "Don't do anything crazy, but more than ever, we need you, here.""It's not crazy! " I push his body out of my way " You heard the old mother, she has an unfulfilled prophecy, I will save Selena.""What I have heard and seen, is that, the guardians are with us and the prophecy will be fulfilled. Maybe after it happens you will have another chosen one, not the one who was able to shoot her own mother with an arrow!" he is also aware of the rumors." No, she shot a wolf!" I defend Akira Selena. "No, Alfred, she shot an animal that everyone knows is sacred..." He argues."But that she doesn't know could be one of us. Besides, she thinks I betrayed her, I lied. Her own old mother forgave her, why will I judge her?""She is her mother, even though she is our elder. She may not have out of the strangers, but she raised her" He answers screaming, and I'm glad we are away from the crowd, because it

Chapter 40: A Second Choice
POV ALFRED"Old dad!" I call.It is not my will to pester you on a day like this, but also, it is not my fault if "the truthies" chose a single day to say hello to everyone.Most have returned to their homes to rest or stay alert for the new orders.The sky is already clearing after the prayers have been said, as is the cleanliness of the streets that smelled of stinking blood. In the hut, the old father is sitting in the center, meditating and proposing peace to solitude. I can't think how hard it is to do this. If I, who spent half a day of happiness with Akira Selena, a woman full of flaws, could not accept living peacefully with longing, imagine him who spent many years by the side of his old mother, a wise woman, even if omitted if Aucaman is right about his suspicion."I was waiting for you" He opens his eyes and I envy his serenity after losing his wife to an arrow."Aucaman, he said he heard..." I would not state without giving him a chance to defend."That there is a second
