Believe it or not, but the god of laws is stupid, he wants us to kill the god of fruits and caves, who in reality is an evil god, how can this god be bad?
After giving us this mission Sumé explained that we were in a kind of purgatory, it was obvious that he would not help us out of there, we would need a lot of help.
_If that is the only way, we will do it.
_Perfect.
Sumé's light made us pass out, was curious to know what happened, because when woke up I was buried in the backyard of my house with only my head hanging out, but that wasn't bad, in fact it is very comfortable. Willian was lying in the sun on a beach chair, and he was naked, I turned my face when saw that, realized that we were still in that purgatory.
Looked at the glass door and Eduardo was being taken care of by an Asian, I leaves the earth without any difficulty, it is as if it opens for me to leave, the boy turns to notice the noise that the earth made when it closed, but instead of looking at my eyes, he looks at my feet, I say:
_ can you look at me?
_I can't, your eyes are still golden.
_What? - I looked at myself in the mirror, the black color of my eyes was slowly "killing" the color gold. - Can you tell me what happened here?
_ I can, but use this first. - He gives me sunglasses. I put it on and the boy looks at me. - You fought against that giant man full of tattoos, you lost, but it was enough for him to leave smiling. He's very strange.
_Wait, do we fight Sumé? - I didn't know that we fought, I don't remember anything.
_Yes, the three. - He puts a pillow under Eduardo's head. - I was scared, so didn't come close. But as you may not remember, I think it was to call you.
_ call us?
_Your powers. Test your strength.
_Where are my clothes? - Willian shouted from outside. Interrupting the conversation.
Handed the clothes over with my eyes closed, even though he didn't notice it. Willian got dressed, his skin was more tanned, the black-haired boy introduced himself:
_My name is Ícaro.
_What is the reason you put me naked in the sun?
_For you to nourish your powers.
_How old are you Ícaro? - I ask trying to leave the story aside.
_Eighteen. -He received the blessing at the right age, that must be why he is handling everything well. - Let's have breakfast.
Ícaro is a dedicated boy, he is comforting us the most, I already knew who he is, Iara son came to help us in good time, Eduardo enters the kitchen with a sick face. He asks:
_What happened yesterday?
_In short, we fought Sumé to turn on our powers and now we will have to kill the cave and fruit god to save his younger brother.
The redhead sits in the middle of me and Icarus, who didn't say anything just ate his sandwich and Willian swallowed his coffee.
We didn't know when we would spend time there or how to leave, Ícaro said that he already looked for and even prayed for his mother, but she didn't listen to him, the boy had even given the idea of praying for our parents together, but me and Willian didn't know them and Eduardo didn't want to talk about kianumaka-maná, I abbreviated her name as Kianá, because said her name wrong several times, I would remember it better being that way.
We were playing UNO, Ícaro decided to raise the subject and we talked about family, minutes later André woke up and like any ordinary person he shouted that he wanted to leave, but after a while he relaxed and played cards with us. I was curious about Iara son, asked:
_You know how to dominate the water or breathe under it?
_I know how to dominate the water, the fish, I know how to breathe underwater. - He wiggles his fingers and the water in the flower pot floats. - My mother taught me since I was a child everything I know.
Seeing that was really incredible, his domination over water is enchanting, Ícaro said he could ask his mother to help us talk to our parents, it would be difficult, because Iara already fought with almost all the gods. Ícaro explained that the ancient Indians did not have a certain form of worship, however a party would be enough for her to come to us. As we are in an empty city, we could get everything we wanted, food was not lacking, we will have to have our chest and legs exposed, wear men's gym shorts, which was a little embarrassing, I admire who can use it, was for us to paint our bodies with the marks of our parents, as me and Willian did not know who we were, we would have to make paintings of the main gods, thunder, war, sun, moon, love and water, I wonder why we don’t draw a mark of the god of the underworld.
André, Willian and me were like the musicians, Ícaro and Eduardo rehearsed to dance so everything was fine. When we finished everything it was already night, our luck is that everyone there learned things quickly, we started playing, the dance and music were great, I thought the dance form was beautiful I felt refreshed when I saw the boys, when we stopped the sky shone and the water too, both made the rain, thunder and gusts of wind were the main attraction of the night, looked at Ícaro, he knelt down, had never met such a beautiful woman before, Iara smiled at your son and hugged him, the indigenous women goddesses had a huge affection for their offspring, whether they were good or bad, they would always love them unconditionally, whoever said that was the great sage Ícaro Vasconcellos.
The goddess stared at me for a while, maybe she was trying to recognize me, I greeted her, making her smile, she enunciates:
_ You heard Sumé, this is terrible. -Her face is round, which gave it a touch of cuteness, but we are talking about the goddess of the seas Iara, the same one who kills drowned men.
_ He who came to us, now we are stuck here. - Said Eduardo, didn't know if I admired his courage or thought she was stupid.
_ I know, and now you have to kill a god. The good thing is that Sumé activated her powers and Rudá has already given them the blessing, the four are almost complete.
_Almost? I thought that having the blessing of the three we would be complete.
_No, there is still a lack of blessing from the thunder god, Tupã.
_Cuca said it was just the three of them, why would she hide about the fourth and most important blessing? - I ended up thinking out loud.
_The witch of the forest? You are so naive! - Iara touched my chest I felt a thousand feelings in a fraction of seconds. -She is sucking her powers little by little Louis. If possible, they should kill her.
I am in shock, the witch Cuca had admitted that she wanted our powers, but that would lead to her death, she was taking them all this time. Felt my chest burn as if the flames of hell were in my body, felt that I was going to explode, but a blast of cold water was thrown on my body making me paralyzed, Ícaro sighed and said:
_Don't get mad at her, the witch really helped you and gave you real advice, but her greed is huge like any "folk creature" they are small gods, and they want to rise to the top. For years, they kill demigods as children, even more so Cuca.
_That's right my son, you should look for Parajás, they will help you with your powers, but be quick, Sumé is strict with time. By my accounts you have two months.
It was a lot of information for my head, but I felt my body burn, maybe it was my power spreading, Iara smiled.
_ You are the son of darkness, you must be careful, Tupã does not like very much those who have evil in their blood. -I looked at Willian who looked back at me, I didn't understand her right alert.
The water goddess explained that we would have to talk to Polo, the god of the wind, he would help us get to Rudá, who would help get to Parajás.
Iara said to go to Cuca, because she knows the location of Polo, the goddess warned us not to be too exposed, the goddess with white hair could come after us, I was surprised at the way she spoke about Jaci, when saying the name of goddess, Iara scowled, I could tell she didn't like the moon goddess. We thank you for your wonderful help, the goddess smiled, then turned into water and entered the earth.
We did the disgusting ritual to invoke Cuca, it was not necessary to return to our reality, which I found a bit strange, I sent André and Icarus to close my eyes, the trip would get sick, when I got there, the witch asked about the human and about purgatory, we said everything and she was scared.
I let Eduardo intimidate the witch, he is good at it, the giant gecko surrendered and said where Polo is, he was returning from a small mission that Tupã sent him, to call him we had to change the climate, we had no idea how to do it that.
We ended up being teleported to Willian's house, everyone was surprised, but there was no one there, we spent the night there, we were very tired, at dawn I hear a light knock on the door, I look to the side and it's Will's sister, her expression is strange, so only after being more awake I realized why, first André slept in bed, because he was more weakened between us, according to Ícaro and Eduardo they had to share a mattress as we entered one of the rooms in the house, and the bigger bomb me and Willian were on the other mattress sleeping together, I got up slowly so as not to wake Willian, she whispers:
_ I didn't want to wake you up, sorry! I'll be leaving, tell Willi. - She left smiling. Strange.
Minutes later the others started to wake up and I told them we were back to reality.
I spent the day focused on my father, he helped me or rather he spoke to me, I was thinking about what to do, for sure locking up college was the first thing to do, Eduardo was frustrated, I wasn't sure why, decided not to ask. Two months goes by fast, hope we can train and kill Teju Jagua. I believe that we will not be able to kill TeJu, for me it is not a good idea. Ícaro was eating a piece of pie, until he jumped scaring us, he says:
_I already know how to change the climate!
_Tossing toxic waste in the sea? - Say Eduardo, making Ícaro show the language.
_No, that would work, but it is cruel! - He looks at me. - You Louis, you can make climate change happen.
_Why?
_Every time you are at least irritated, your body heats up, you can warm the place up a bit. Don't worry, it will be a hot summer day.
_ I can try.
In Willian's backyard, I try to focus on heating the place, Ícaro looked like a child seeing a wonderful circus attraction, I felt raindrops fall, Eduardo ask:
_ Was it supposed to rain?
_ I do not think so. - Ícaro replied.
The wind starts to gain strength, a man and a teenager appear, they are probably gods, I was hoping that one of them is Polo, the man who looked to be thirty years old, asks:
_ Which of you changed the climate? - They all point at me, damn X-9. - Are you looking for trouble?
_No, we are after Polo.
_God of the wind, are they after the Pajarás?
_Yes, how do you know?
_ Every desperate warrior runs after them. - Says the youngest boy.
_ Shut up, Mutin. I will introduce myself to the warriors, I am Catú god of autumn, this is my nightmare, Mutin, the god of spring. - He smiles and waves at us, I realized that both of them had staffs that were their sizes.
_Can you guys take us to Polo? - Ask Ícaro.
_Yes, come up.
The gods climbed on their staves, I thought it was a joke, apparently I was mistaken.
I looked at the boys and they shook their heads in confirmation. I rode on Mutin's staff with Eduardo, Willian and Ícaro went on Catú's staff. The gods lifted their staffs and ran at extremely fast speed. I closed my eyes tightly and when I opened several flower petals we were flying, we were flying, so this is the feeling that witches feel when they are flying on a broom? I loved it.
Could feel the spring breeze on my face, I closed my eyes so could feel the sensation better, someone nudged me, looked back and Eduardo laughed nervously, I could see that the height was something he didn't like, the redhead was holding me with all your strength, I talked to the redhead the whole trip so he felt better, the speed started to get fast, soon we arrived at Monte Roraima, I was dumbfounded, it is beautiful, the others were also unable to hide their surprise, when I went down, I stayed firm on the ground, because the wind is strong up there, and the cold is very noticeable. A large circle is half a mound, the two gods unite, the staffs hit the ground hard, and the circle opens,a huge ladder is leading into the hill, Mutin smiles and says:
_Warriors first.
The circle closes with us going down the stairs, there was no turning back. Eduardo walks beside me, I let him take my arm, the redhead released me when he reached the floor, he whispered a "thank you" smiles at him. Finally we arrived at a door, I looked at Willian, he shrugs, Catú says:
_ Behave yourself, don't ask too many questions, just talk about your mission.
He has an intimidating, but also welcoming tone. Mutin cuts off his fingertip and passes the door, the image of a golden-winged butterfly forming at the heavy gate, when entering the place, everything around is pure green, extinct animals lived there, there were several waterfalls, people slept in hammocks, I was soft just to imagine myself lying in one of them, Ícaro was the first to spark sparks of emotion, Eduardo on the other hand appeared to be suspicious, Will came over to me and said:
_This place is beautiful. - He looked delighted.
_Very beautiful. - I confirmed it. - Where are we anyway?
_We are in Ybymarã-e'yma. The land without evils. - Said Mutin.
When looking around they had several demigods, including the Saci that before looked like a man of forty years, now he looks like a boy of twelve, his leg was a blue energy that allowed him to walk normally, he looks at us and says:
_Welcome. Did not imagine that they would still be alive. How are you? What are you doing here.
_ I don't think it's any of your business. - Eduardo says in a sarcastic tone. Mutin gave a nasal laugh.
_I liked it, can I stay with him? Catú shook his head, but seemed satisfied with Eduardo's answer.
_You must return, the land without evils is only for those who have already died.
_They are invited, they came to talk to Polo. - I could see the boy's curly hair stand on end.
_ Go ahead, he is in a bad mood.
Around me I notice the houses made of wood, large and beautiful, Mutin knocked on the door of a house made of white wood, when opening a flurry of birds came out of it. A young boy comes out, his hair is tied up in a loose bun, and he looks irritated. That sure is Polo, he looked at me and shook his head.
_ Several ways to call me, and do you change the climate?
_The witch of the forest asked them to call you that way. - Catú explained, making the god laugh.
_ Naive children.
_ They need your help, lord of the winds. - Says Mutin.
_You are never kind to me, least of all when you have visitors for me. I'm delighted, children as always doing a good job. Come in. - The house is full of parchments, and sheets of cardboard. - Excuse me for the mess, I didn't know would receive visitors.
His peanut-colored eyes study us, the wind god appears to be our age. His appearance is tired, he sits in a chair that is close by, Eduardo started to explain what was happening, he listened to everything and smiled in confirmation, Eduardo finishes:
_Iara said that we possibly have two months, which is very little time.
_No, if they receive the blessing of grandpa, they quickly get stronger. - He took a scroll. - I was already going there, come on!
We thank Catú and Mutin for helping us. We followed Polo, he walks quite fast, sometimes he stumbled and said that walking is the most useless thing in the world, we arrived at the Tupã temple, I thought it would be all made of wood, but it is made of clay, it is not a castle or a house, a sanctuary, perhaps, Tupã sits on his giant throne cut in half, in his lap there is a little girl braiding some musses of his long black hair, he perceives our presence and says:
_ I think it has a good explanation for all this.
_ Yes, I have my grandfather, here is the mission you asked me to do. - He hands it over to Tupã, who thanked him. - about these young people, I came to ask you to grant your blessing.
_ Okay, come here. - Tupã continued to sit, but asked the little girl to get something, she ran and got honey.
I found it strange how Tupã accepted everything very quickly, I was sure that something is wrong.
First it was Ícaro, the god spoke some words that I could not understand and passed, he sent him to drink some honey, this process passed by everyone and finally I was the last, I was afraid, in my mind I wasn’t supposed to go, but I tried to ignore it, when I arrived in front of Tupã, who analyzed me, he gave me the blessing and I started down the stairs, when I reached the bottom step I felt something cross my body, I heard several noises formed in my head, I couldn't understand anything, when I looked down, I saw something shiny, it had hit me in the stomach, everything started to get dark, a horrible feeling, the pain was immense. What was happening?
