Chapter 3

I don't know what time it was, but what I did know is that it wasn't dawn yet. Yusu was restless and bleated all night without stopping. I got up to see what happened to him. He was circling right near the place where he had kept the locket. A bright red light came out of the drawer.

I opened the drawer and the light grew brighter.

I took the strange object in my hands, the light became so intense that I could swear that the whole room was bathed in the red light that was released from it.

Suddenly, I felt like something entered my body and completely possessed me. Then everything went black.

I think I was in a completely dark room, since I couldn't see anything. I walked into the void of darkness, until in the distance I saw a bright red light. I approached her. Being close I could see a kind of creature with huge horns."Who are you?" I asked a little suspicious."I am Aries, the first sign of the dark zodiac and you Ares, you are the chosen one and my apprentice," said that being with a very serious voice.-Chosen one? Chosen for what? -Asked seriously.

-I like your seriousness and I see that you like to go straight to the point. Well I'll tell you. Hundreds of years ago our bodies were trapped in these medallions - let me explain. Stop Did you say our bodies?

"What do you mean our bodies?"-Yes. My teammates and I have each been trapped in a different locket. Our mission is to guide our chosen ones and turn them into what they really are - he continued explaining.

"And what am I supposed to be?" I asked not so sure what would happen.

"You are the demon you looked for in that shiny box," he said, referring to the computer.

-And how do you know that?--Because once you touched the medallion my spirit joined you, making us both connected. But you are not the only one with a locket. Your brothers are also looking for their respective medallions-let me explain."What do my brothers and I have to do with all this?" I asked, surprised that he knew about my brothers.

-You are the chosen ones by the zodiacal kingdom. They were born to save this world from the destruction that is coming-he commented showing me some horrible images of how the destroyed world would look.

"I can't get away from this, right?" I asked while letting out a tired sigh.-Unfortunately not. You have to train yourself to be able to use your powers--Train me? How? -Ask.-Go to the forest and when you are there I will tell you how to start your training. At first you will not have contact with your brothers, since you have to wait for them to find their medallions and only then will you be able to meet your brothers again-I explain."Is that saying I can't comment on any of this to them?"-If you do they will think you crazy-"Is there anything else I should know?"-Yes, your powers will develop as the days go by. But the most common power in an Arian is speed. You will be faster than lightning. Now you must go. Your animal guide is waiting for you -he said referring to Yusu.The light emanating from him began to intensify to the point of making me close my eyes.When I woke up, I was in my bed asleep."I see you woke up," a voice commented. I looked in all directions, but there was no one-I'm here Ares-I looked down to meet Yusu.-Hi friend, for a moment I thought you had said something -commented stroking the head of the little animal.

"Well that depends on how you take it," Yusu commented.

"What the hell!" I said jumping out of my bed in surprise. The sheep spoke."Hey if we're going to treat each other like that, then I'll call you blue eyes," the animal commented as he climbed onto my bed."How can you talk?" I asked, still surprised.-Didn't you hear what Aries said? I am your guardian animal, I was the one who guided you to the Aries master to train you-I explain myself.

"And can you only talk or is there something else you know how to do?" I asked as I stood up from my place and went to the stairs of the house.

-Well, I can transform myself into a gigantic ram, which of course, only appears when you need me-he explained to me as he followed me to the kitchen.

-Let me understand this. Are you saying that the creature I saw in that world is real and that I really have to save the world? -I asked with some frustration."I see you understand," he said smiling.-This is too much to process-comment."Well, at least I didn't have to explain everything to you from the beginning, boy," he told me. I said nothing more and got ready to make breakfast for both of us.

I told Yusu that I should go to work so he would be alone all day.

On the way to work I began to think about what that creature said. My super power was speed, because then that could explain why I do my job quickly and deliver the cars on time or ahead of time.

I stopped at a traffic light. Ah, when people weren't walking fast, it put a lot of stress on me.

I blinked a couple of times and in less than I thought, I was already in the workshop. But how the hell did it get so fast? I had more blocks to go. Ok, maybe if I'm fast. Me, now, master said that my powers would appear with the passing of the days. Jarv was waiting for me at the garage door.

"Wow, you came early, friend," Jarv told me when he saw me arrive.

-Yes, I wanted to get up earlier today-I shouldn't tell him what was happening or he would think me crazy.

-Well, I have some cars left to fix. Are you in charge? "I ask, I nodded.The hours passed and every time I felt stranger. I was almost done fixing the last car I had left, but I felt my hands shaking. I was about to fall backwards, but Jarv held my back.-Hey friend, have you had breakfast? Are you okay? "I ask."Yes, I just need to rest," I said touching my face. I got up a little dizzy and went straight to the bathroom. I saw myself in the mirror and I was very pale. When I wanted to realize my eyes had turned a blood red color, my body began to burn uncontrollably. I gave a cry of the pain I was feeling at that moment."Ares are you okay?" Jarv asked from the door. I left when I was back to normal and calmed down.

"I ... I need air," he said as he ran out of the place.
