The blessing and the warning

The view of dawn is very beautiful, a tall man appeared and looked deep into Willian's eyes, and i just remember that, i blacked out and when i woke up i was in my room, i had a bitter taste in my mouth and felt an extremely strong pain in my eyes, i stared at my blue ceiling, was that the sun god in all his splendor? I didn't know him, but from the little i saw my retinas are almost burned by the strong and intense light that comes out of his golden body.

I got up with difficulty, this time wanted to spend the day at home, was very tired, struggle everywhere in search of the truth. Autumn was at its height, the rain was falling and the cold was hitting the windows of the house. My uncle was not at home, only Luiza and Yasmin, i spent the day in the living room watching cartoons

when my uncle came home, he came with Mariane, when i was very young played with her, although Jeff and me never met, remembered Mariane and always saw her with a very beautiful woman, i didn't know who she was and I wouldn’t talk about it either, it’s none of my business, but it was strange to remember her and not remember anything about Uncle Jeff.

I went to college on a different bus, lost what was taking students, luckily managed to catch one that stopped near the college, got off and walked for a while, i arrived minutes early, was very happy, but at the entrance there were two boys fighting, it was a real fight, there was punch in the face and everything, i was going to get in without getting into it, i didn't have a good history with fights, but realized that it was Willian who fought with a nerdy redhead, without thinking me pulled Will, the boy who fought with him shouted:

_Can't fight alone, do you have to call your boyfriend? - The boy adjusted his glasses that were falling.

_Shut up!

The redhead ran to Willian to hit him, i got in the middle, felt an extremely strong pain in my eyes, when looked into the redhead's eyes, he slowed down until he fell, the head of the college left the building and questioned:

_Can any of you enlighten me what's going on here?

The redhead was taken to the infirmary, he apparently passed out his "pressure fell" Willian tried to explain to the director what had happened, she listened, but i realized that was not believing much, she finishes:

_Mr. Gonçalves, i would really love to have the power to read minds and know what happened, but as i don't, the three of them will spend a week in suspension. - She takes off her glasses with thin frames. - And that's not all, you will have to help André recover, all week.

She gave us papers to sign and we walked home.

When i got home Mariane and Yasmin when they heard about the fight they applauded me for defending Will, my uncle Jeff gave me a severe punishment for a week without a cell phone, deserved, he did it because of Aunt Luiza, she thought it was better to at least give one little punishment on me, but it was also good for me to defend Willian.

Lying in my room drew an iguana in my notebook, i loved these animals, hear a noise coming from the other side of the door, then Mariane enters my room and says:

_You were too much.

_ I got into a fight not wanting to get involved.

_Louis, you protected your friend from that nerd. Even though he didn't need to. You worried.

_Thanks. - I winked at her, Mariane smiled.

_ You know, Lou. - She puts her hand over her mouth. - You and the ... What's his name?

_Willian?

_That, Willian ... You two know already kissed? - I was silent for minutes, I now understood the reason for the strange weather last week.

_ No. Me and Willian are just friends.

_ Don't get me wrong, cousin, but noticed something between you. - i didn't know how to react that way, i was embarrassed.

_ We are just friends, there was never anything else and i'm going to sleep tomorrow i have to wake up early to work, good night. - I stammered a little.

_Ok, right, good night and bye bye. - She pulls the "E" from the word and leaves the room.

I can hear her talking to someone outside, it's probably Yasmin, only after she left that i realized that my lie was extremely horrible, didn't have a job, much less wake up early, i'm an idiot, she'll think that me and Willian we are a couple, it kills me with shame.

At dawn i could not sleep, several cut visions tormented my head, two orange eyes appeared in them, but they were not of the white dragon, it was of a person.

Rolled off the bed and fell to the floor with a violent force, felt my face getting dirty, i got up and tried to walk, but stepped on the wrong side and fell again, noticed i was in the mud, i looked around the place is a closed forest and i was near a pond, closed my eyes they hurt a lot and i could barely see that pitch, lay in the mud, i felt a hand caressing my hair, opened my eyes a little and me see a woman, she says:

_ You are so beautiful, why don't you come swim with me? I will make you feel better.- I felt myself trying to go.

_ Not me...

_ Hey. -She talks like a breath, her lips are very close to mine. - Come on Louis, get in the water with me.

_ How do you know my name? - I think loudly.

The woman stands still with her face closed think she noticed her mistake, but soon she shows her face giant teeth and a huge mouth, she screams and tries to attack me, i kicked her face hard and crawled to the tip of the lake, but when could finally seeing better in the dark i realized what that woman was a mermaid, was pushing her away from me and luckily managed to stay upright, i ran happy because my legs were stabilized, ran to the bottom of the forest, someone else was running after me, and he was not happy, looked back and the mermaid was crawling in the mud behind me, i tried to kick her head, but she managed to deflect, when falls i am surprised by another mermaid, only this one had its tail turned into legs and with violence it pulls the other by tail and throws it into a tree, was convinced that it would be the next to be thrown, but she just stood in front of me and warned:

_Son of darkness, you are in danger, beware of Teju Jagua, he will come after you, run from him. My son will help you, soon will find you.

I woke up in a cold sweat and all dirty with mud, realized that i could be teleported to where a god wanted me to go, and that woman who warned me about such a Teju is the goddess Iara herself, how wonderful.

I called Willian on the living room phone, we were going to meet in an ice cream maker near his house, in the fog. When got there i told him what happened and Willian said he had a similar dream, only he was under water and it was a newt who spoke to him, i was sure that that is the goddess Iara, because her power transpired in her gills, and her black eyes had a redness inside them, i don't know why she ran to alert me and Willian about Teju Jagua, had no idea who he is or what he is, Will speaks:

_ About the woman being the goddess of the sea, we can be sure, since the newt didn't seem to have that much power. - He drinks some of his milkshak - But the question is who would be their children?

_ Maybe it could be the redhead? - He was the only boy we hit head on.

_ I think it is unlikely, but we will treat you well for this week, which apparently will not be an easy job.

I thought it was an exaggeration to say that the redhead is a terrible boy, i was very wrong, when we arrived at his house - that he is not at all ugly - he gave us orders, if it weren't for the dream i would punch him in the face.

We are surprised when the director enters the house, me and Willian look at each other, the woman smiles and introduces herself:

_Call me Melissa, i'm André's mother.

I smiled happily, apparently he is not Iara's son. But behind her appears a boy more redheaded than André himself, the freckles are present on his face, his strong green eyes exuded courage and pride, i felt like a clown fish next to a whale - i confess that i am afraid of whales, they are huge and merciless animals - Willian whispers:

_Are you feeling?

_My self-esteem falling? Yes i'am.

_No! Are you feeling your power?

Looked at the brunette as if he were crazy, didn't feel any power, but when i looked and concentrated on the redhead could see his body covered by a mist of different red tones, i come back to reality when André says:

_God, if you keep looking at my brother like that, you're going to drip saliva on the floor.

Embarrassed, i apologized, but i felt that that guy had a different aura, he certainly is not Iara's son, but he is the son of some god. Willian invited me to his house when our nanny internship ended, i accepted the invitation.

Me was a little incubated, when arrived at Willian's residence, he lives with his sister, brother and niece, i had no idea of that, a two year old baby ran up to the blue-eyed boy and hugged him, the girl laughs when Willian kisses her cheek, seeing that scene, felt with a warm heart - i am sensitive - a woman older than Willian appeared, she smiled and asks:

_Hi, Will, did you bring a friend today?

_Yes. Natasha this is Louis my friend from college, this is my sister.

I smiled a little shyly and answered an embarrassed "Hi", she laughed at me.

We took the books that Cuca had given us after the sun god burned our eyes with a lot of love and affection, however when we opened the books we couldn't understand anything, i looked at Will, he kept his eyes half-closed trying to read something there, at last we gave up, the brunette took his cell phone and the Google translator tried to translate the language, but nothing came up, he took a picture of the page and appears in the search it is the ancient Tupi-Guarani language, wonderful, we would have to learn old Tupi, hope Cuca teaches us. It was time to go home, before went i wanted to thank Will, he was surprised, his dark blue eyes closed a little. He asked:

_By what? I did nothing.

_Exactly, you did nothing, bye Will.

When I was walking, I realized that he was still at the door, and had a beautiful smile on his face, he shouts:

_You are weird Louis Monteiro. Really much!
