Holy Knight Canis Maior

-Ptfffff ..... hahahaha, by the gods, that must be a joke, they really believe all that shit I thought they were smarter but with this they pass ... ahahaha !! .-

-Hahaha .. enough please dad, if you keep laughing like that I won't be able to stop .. hahaha! -

Ray and Meraki were clutching their stomachs, they were crying but laughing as they couldn't contain it. Meraki had run away from the maid when their meeting ended and he went to find his father to pass on the information obtained and since then they have not stopped laughing like crazy.

When they're done teasing, they barely get back on their feet and start planning what to do with the day's achievement. With this they could continue without problems inside the castle, they only had to put distractions to entertain the Commission and take charge of the Nest, although for them it was more than certain that they were thinking the same as The Commission for the type of movements they presented before. It was left to rule out any other anomalies like The Predators to make sure they got rid of them as well.

Another week passed and the snow was coming.

Ray and Meraki look up at the starry midnight sky from the roof of the central castle.

-The rest of the castle is being watched by both sides, Espin is adrift. Finally the time came Meraki, get ready-

-Yes father-

A ring of black smoke appears in the air and they both cross it to appear floating in the king's chambers. Meraki had practiced for months to hone all of his powers. But among all of them, creating portals was becoming the most fun for the child. The only problem for now is that he had to know the locations to be able to go there. The models were the answer to his problem since when viewed from above the direction to take and the exits were easy to find.

Inside the chambers, the boy sent a mist to the king's bed to make him sleep more soundly. Ray set about looking for alarms or other devices that might bother him to disable them.

Meraki and Ray sit on a couch next to the bed to begin the extraction. Espin's eyes widen to black. Ray strokes the boy's back to assure him that he will not be left alone.

At times Meraki trembles, gets upset, makes a face of anger or seems to want to cry. It was an extraction that went on for a full hour and seemed like an eternity to Ray. When the boy finished he was more tired than ever but he was not going to stop, now it was his father's turn to receive the information.

The visions were quiet at first but then they got more complicated. Espin went from an idealistic boy with dreams of changing the country for the better to being a monstrosity manipulated by both the Church and Sophia. Unhealthy obsessions, planned homicides, rapes, regicide, betrayals, actions without common sense, unscrupulous and any other insanity added to the list of atrocities that this individual with the crown displayed.

They were able to know a lot about the general situation and to their surprise what they feared most was also there. The unknown creature appeared. The homicide that this time they visualized without problems was that of the previous kings and from there they counted their actions more than ten times to date.

Sophia was not involved but enjoyed the fact that her in-laws died miserably in a not-so-car accident. They had placed the corpses in the car and let it ride only to end up falling into the ocean. Despite all the atrocities seen, it was as if the two of them were no longer affected in the least, only causing a little discomfort. They were becoming invulnerable to the follies of the people around them with each extraction performed.

But there was something that made them aware of all those memories. Espin had a secret that not even Sophia herself knew and the creature did not seem to be interested: The king had a secret vault apart from the main one, the location of which was only revealed to the next in succession to the throne. It had valuable and even sacred objects inside, protected by a barrier that prevented finding it. They were also able to find what they had come looking for ... the location of the Gemini sword master.

-Bingo! Now they won't be able to stop us, well done my boy. Let's go find our inheritance, the evil born owes it to us. How can you hide it from the legitimate heirs. Son, have you located where it is? - Ray smiles devilishly and his golden crescent eyes shine in a gloomy way.

-Yes, and this is more than enough to punish him. Also discard useless memories to leave necessary ones. And I put more restrictions on him so that he never regains his sanity-

Ray picks up the tired boy and carries him in his arms. The little boy is happy to be carried and leans on his father's shoulder. They are transported directly to the secret vault, only to be shocked by all the mountains of gold, jewels and any other known wealth that reached more than 6ft in height. If memories show one thing, reality shows another.

Ray puts the boy down and they both start laughing with happiness. Neither Espin nor the kings of yesteryear, remotely made a count of what this vault housed. They just came and looked for what they needed to retire. Ray went straight to find the Life Water Bottles that were hidden in a solid gold chest and Meraki ran uphill from the treasure pylon for fun. Among the gold and jeweled doubloons he felt a familiar aura. He started digging through everything and what he found was strange. An engraved wooden box that looked old. He broke the lock and what was inside left him gaping and he screamed to call his father.

He had found two astronomical rings.

-By all the gods, why are these rings here?- Looking at the box, Ray realized what the contents were.

-Daddy! It's not amazing, they were down on everything. I just wanted to feel the aura of the objects and I found them. Hurrah!-

-No Meraki. These rings are not what you think, they are ...-

-They are very cute, I want to use one! - The boy was fascinated and was putting on the ring

-Wait Mera! Do not put it on! - his cry was in vain, Meraki had already put it on

The ring began to emit a rainbow light around Meraki and Ray feared for their lives. Then the color of the ring changed from black to platinum white and the boy looked at his father in bewilderment.

-Dad, who is Canis Maior? There is a voice in the air that says that I am a worthy successor, what does it mean? -

-God ... give me that box, don't touch it again-

-Well, I won't- Meraki starts to struggle trying to get the ring off but it seems useless

-Forget this. It seems that Sirius already took you affection oh Holy Knight Meraki- his father answers in a mocking tone

-What?! No, wait ... I didn't want dad ... ahhh- Meraki starts crying leaving Ray dumbfounded.
