chapter 2

-Paul Salazar- called the supervisor.

When he heard his name, Paul did not act surprised, after all, he was the only one who had not done the ceremony, but this could not prevent him from being nervous since whatever happens next will be what decides his future.

Paul moved from his seat and nervously approached the supervisor - Hello, good morning - Paul greeted the supervisor.

The supervisor looked at him with a smile before answering - but how polite, good morning to you too boy, are you ready? - greeted and asked the supervisor.

Paul only nodded before standing right in front of the supervisor.

-well, now close your eyes- instructed the supervisor, Paul nodded and closed his eyes. When he did, he knew that a hand was resting on his head, -at that moment when my spell is performed, you will enter the deepest part of your soul, when you are there intuitively you will know what to do, but be careful, although I can protect your soul from the outside, you can suffer a lot of pain if the power you wake up is out of control. - the supervisor explained before starting to sing his spell.

Paul can only hear strange words before everything is completely black.

------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------O------

While Paul woke up he looked for all sides and could only see trees around him, when he looked up the sky was not blue as it normally is but it was pure white.

-Is this my soul ?, Why is it a forest ?, Where do I go ?, What do I do? - Paul asked a little scared, and just when he was about to panic he felt a small pull towards an address, then he remembered the words of the supervisor told him before entering - "when you're inside intuitively you'll know what to do" -

Paul closed his eyes trying to calm down -the supervisor said he would know what to do, I suppose he meant this- Paul reflected now more calmly.

After thinking a bit, Paul decided to head in the direction where he considered the pull.

After walking for a long time he arrive at a beautiful and small lake that had the waters so clean that they seemed almost transparent when he approached he could see that at the bottom of the lake there was a symbol that rested quietly there, in the symbol he was portrayed A man and a woman struggling hand in hand and if he remembered correctly it was the same symbol that appeared in Luis's head when the ceremony ended.

-So I'm a body wizard - Paul said in a low voice as he looked at the symbol - now what? - Paul said without knowing exactly what to do. After reflecting a little, I conclude that the most logical thing is to touch the symbol.

-Well, here we go- Paul said as he prepared to jump into the lake - one, two, three - when he reached three Paul took a deep breath and jumped into the lake.

When he was swimming and getting closer to the symbol he could see something strange, just behind the symbol there was an entrance to what seemed to be a cave and the more he looked at it the more attracted it looked to it, he found it strange since the connection it affected with the cave, or whatever is inside it, was larger than the connection that identifies with the body wizard symbol. Then the ignores the symbol for now and chose to swim towards the cave.

When he entered the cave he takes a deep breath rejoicing to be able to breathe again, but when he tries to see in the cave he realized that everything was absolutely dark, then he will try to do the same as in the forest and head towards the place where the connection I took it.

PLOP ... PLOP ... PLOP ... PLOP.

While moving forward you can only hear the noise of raindrops hitting the ground strangely could not hear or the steps he was taking. But no matter how curious this sea was, it was starting to get bored and he was considering going back and touching the symbol to end all this.

Just when he was beginning to take the idea of returning seriously, he could see something bright in the distance. Then he ran to the light to see what it was and when he was closer he could see what it was.

Surrounded by a bright light was a symbol with a gray wolf engraved on it and although it was simple I could feel the power radiating from it, it could also be strangely familiar as if it were a part of it that has been separated for a long time and was now the time to return.

He was so hypnotized by that feeling that he did not realize that he was slowly approaching the symbol and was about to touch it, he was only inches away from touching it but someone was at his side.

-So you're the next eh- Paul quickly got out of his trance and looked at his side.

There was a man of about 40 years, his hair and eyes were as black as the night, his hair was so long that it reached his back and beast what appears to be a silver armor that shone with a sacred glow.

After observing it Paul quickly questioned - the next? The next for what? And more importantly, who are you and how are you in my soul? - a little scared by the presence of the stranger.

-Don't be alarmed, boy, it's nothing bad, you're just the next one to receive the blessing of the sacred wolf- he replied with a smile.

- Sacred wolf, like that of the legend? - Paul asked remembering the story his mother told him.

-exactly, every time the great sacred wolf feels that a great evil approaches the world, he chooses a person from all over the world and blesses him with power, in the hope that this person can stop the term of explaining man to Paul slowly.

-why? I am just a child- Paul questioned the man without believing it - and you have not answered who you are and how you are in my soul- Paul asked quickly.

-responding to your first question, nobody knows, maybe he chose you because you have something special or just chose someone at random and ended up being you, who knows - the man paused before continuing - and responding your second question, I am The first man that the wolf blessed and after coming to a deal with the sacred wolf I will live forever in the blessing informing people of what the man is finished.

Paul was not sure what to do, everything was too good to be true, right? In addition, all that to save the world sounds too much work he just wants to be a magician to have fun, but something inside him also shouted that he accepts everything quickly.

-and what exactly that blessing does- Paul asks after a while.

-Good question, but you will not get the best answer- said the man with a mocking smile before continuing –I will simply say that you will get a greater power from the rest, how to use it or discover what it does is your job- the man replied happily.

-WHAT!! I won't accept if you don't tell me what he does- Paul replied unhappily.

-You won't accept a great power just because I don't tell you what the blessing does- the man asked apparently amused at his response.

-YES!! I will not accept-replied Paul with conviction ignoring his body telling him to accept quickly.

-JAJAJAJAJAJA you are funny brat but think about it if you do not accept the blessing nobody can save the world- the man sees that Paul wanted to respond quickly so he continues -and the blessing cannot be passed unless you die, then if you do not accept the world will perish along with your loved ones - the man finished with a radiant smile.

-What?! But ... - Paul thought about it if he did not accept that he would be guilty of the death of his mother and his father, he did not want that, then he clenched his teeth and said- I accept-.

-Very well, now you have to pass the test- said the man.

-Test, what proof? - Paul asks baffled.

-do not worry the test will be easy, you just have to fight a monster- said the man without giving importance to the test -I feel in a good mood today so take- said the man while throwing a sword at Paul.

-What happens if I fail the test?- Paul asks.

-... You'll die ... - the man replied happily and then disappeared leaving Paul alone.

-Wait !! - Paul shouted but the man was gone.

Frightened Paul watched around him with the sword in fighting position waiting for the monster he will fight with.

¡GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW !!!!!

There was a loud roar that made the walls of the cave temper, Paul was momentarily paralyzed while listening to the slowly approaching monster, when he got close enough that the light generated by the symbol could hit him, he could see it.

He was a huge lion about 3 meters tall, his mane was on fire and his legs seemed to be made of metal.

When he sees the lion quickly jumped on the hope of destroying him with his claws, although scared, thanks to the training he did with his father, Paul could dodge it.

Reacting quickly, the lion launched a flame from his mouth which Paul managed to dodge as he approached long enough to launch an attack with his sword trying to slice his neck.

The lion did not care and let it happened which surprised Paul, but this surprise did not last long since the sword could not reach the lion's neck thanks to his mane, the lion saw that he was distracted and took the opportunity to hit Paul with his claw.

This time Paul could not dodge and was quickly thrown against the cave wall.

-Arrrrggggg !!! - A sore scream came out of Paul's throat as small tears came out of his eyes because of the pain of having an arm broken by the lion's punch.

The lion quickly approached to finish off Paul, Paul saw him and quickly got quickly and caught his sword with his only free hand that was conveniently the dominant one.

The lion pounced and Paul could barely dodge it by earning a couple of scratches on his back, but this did not stop him and he attacks pointing again at the neck.

The lion saw this and mocked and let him do it again, Paul smiled when he saw this and when he was close enough, he changed direction and stabbed the lion directly between the eyes.

The lion could barely react and threw another blow just before he died.

Paul who received the blow on his other arm could only laugh and say –JAJAJAJAJA TAKE THAT, I WIN !! - That was the last thing he could say before falling unconscious because of the pain of having both arms broken.
