POV AKIRA SELENA Moment before fainting "That thing that covers your body is a mask, Selena. It's not you." My mother stands in the mirror with her clothes stained with blood. "Or am I to believe that I made such a mistake in choosing you and that it was his Machiavellian nature doing this to your mother?" she accuses me as she slowly displays her body to show a huge arrow that is pierced through her chest. "No, mother. I shot the wolf..." I mutter, and remorse consumes me. And it's scary how my hands are awash in blood. I am no longer in Lilian's room, but in the memories of my old house, just at the moment I was getting ready to shoot and hit the animal with my arrow. But this time, it's not wolves. They are my parents growling and Ricard takes on the figure of a giant pig dressed as Mister Jeremy. My self is ready to shoot and I can't stop him. The arrow is speared, but it doesn't pierce my mother as it had done before, the object turns back and hits my heart with full fo

POV ALFRED"If the Rockfellers are so dangerous and want to do harm to your people, why not attack them and get it over with?" Suggests the elegant woman who calls herself Teresa. And it amazes me that big city people call us savages."Because we are not murderers. We have our values. The exact time will come and the guardians are counting on me to help" I explain."Interesting, practically an impossible mission, however, I will do everything in my power. I feel like an envoy of the guardians" She jokes and I like her humor.I feel safe being around her, so much so that I have already summarized the events to her, hiding the parts that are most painful to me or too intimate to be told to a woman I met an hour ago."Where are we going?" I peek out the window.She doesn't have a metal horse like Richard, making it necessary to continue the journey in a carriage."All the way to Boston. An important city. We will make some contacts and prepare for your arrival in London" She stares at m

POV AKIRA SELENA "Sel, sometimes Richard is explosive, but deep down he's a good person" Lilian not only puts cloths over my lips that were swollen from Richard's slap, but softens her brother's attitudes. "Sometimes? Because it's the first time I've seen him like that, and the impression I get is that he's been hiding under dry leaves all this time and then biting me like a snake." Having nothing new to argue in Richard's favor, Lilian cranes her head with a pitying expression that I hate them to have of me. "Don't worry Lilian, if I survived a fall from the cliff as a child, it won't be a slap to bring me down" I remove the cloth wet with warm water from her hand, so that I can be the one to improve my bruise. " Did you fall? And how can you not have a scratch? A broken leg or arm?" She is not very convinced. "Because my mother asked the guardians to give me my life back. Then I would serve their purposes." And who knows, maybe because I didn't, my life is doomed to ruin at

POV RICHARDI was the first to arrive, followed by my father who was surprised by the set table and stared at me with a sarcastic smile of one who would enjoy dinner as well."Will we be celebrating a special date today?" he pretends to be confused and sits down at the table " I hope this is not a waste of yours, we are on the high seas and if the winds are not favorable it will take us a while to arrive. Reservations should last" He places the napkin in his lap and signals the maid to come forward and pour a wine for him." This is the first dinner Akira Selena has been with us, I thought it should be big. Just tonight..." I make eyes at him like a little boy begging for another pawn or a wooden cart he saw in a store window one Christmas time."I know exactly what you're getting at. I don't know from whom you inherited such a sadistic temper" He drinks a little from his cup."You tell me, that you left my mother dying alone after childbirth to go after a child of an unrequited love

POV ALFRED"Don't take Sara's words so literally. Gypsies are a superstitious people" Teresa speaks as we arrive at her house.I observe her gesture of leaving her fan and shawl at the entrance, then do the same with her hat."She is identical to the women of my people who read our fortunes and warn us of the dangers of our choices" I note, it is only that I don't call her old mother because she is young for that "Besides, there were too many details. Almost no one knows the name of the real mother's mother Akira Selena. That is a forbidden subject in Skyfall so she wouldn't find out the truth. I only told it to you and there is no way she could have heard it, both of us being in a carriage on the way here" I defend Sara, because that is what my intuition commands me to do."You're right! I am being drastic and denying the obvious. I don't want you to create expectations that will then give you more grief, Alfred. You've been through so much already..." She laments."But I am resilien
