Chapter 3:

The Real, the Possible, the Oneiric and Astral of Life.

Connie was in a bed lying on her back looking at the ceiling, the events of the last days, after that meeting not scheduled or expected with her new neighbors, fluttered in her mind like a swarm of fireflies, repeating in a vivid way both time, and changing much the perspective of Connie with respect to his stay in Ciudad Imperio.

The work of both parents of Connie forced them to travel for long periods of time constantly, so he was always coming and going from one place to another with them.

Now, for anyone it would seem to be a great life and for a sociable person a dream come true, to go to different places always new, exotic and beautiful, to meet different types of people, new inventions, new and different traditions and cultures, new dishes , people and other beautiful and wonderful things that in the world and the universe has to offer. Yes, this, for almost every living being in the universe, would be an idyllic life.

If you take a person from the street at random and you wonder if you would like to have this kind of life, surely this person would say yes.

But if you asked Connie, she could have a very different and very unpopular answer, not why she is not sociable or anything, well maybe she was not very sociable, but it's not that she did not try or not.

It was the fact that her parents, since she has the use of reason, were forbidden to leave the room of the hotel, motel, residence or any place where they will stay, while their stay lasted almost all the time.

It could be said that Connie believed that this would be like almost all the trips before, but it was not exactly so, since he always kept the splinter of hope that things would change for the better, a hope, small, tiny insect. , and like any insect that Hope was a moment submitted to the implacable and crushing weight of reality, reality and the words of their parents.

Although it has a somewhat varied experience of those trips, it is the same way to obtain a drink that you want to drink, but you will only be dropped on the tongue by a tiny drop and very diluted in water of that drink.

And before arriving at Empire City he believed that everything would be the same, although that tiny splinter of hope hoped that the most famous city of the Virgo Supercluster could change things little, but again that was a very insignificant and diminutive feeling.

But during the first moments of his stay in this great city, hope came alive and magnified, but not enough to make a significant weight.

Until his meeting with the Universe and Steven Paragon that changed everything in a brutal way, in what way? , since some time ago he learned how the universe originated, it turns out that long ago the universe was nothing more than a very, very, very small point of infinite energy, even more minute than an atom, but then a massive, sudden and violent expansion occurred. , all in an event which is called "Big Bang". Well, something identical happened to his hope for a better future, after having met Greg, Nora and Steven, he went from being just an illusion to something that can be seen and even touched. For the first time I felt how beautiful it was to have friends, it was such a wonderful thing to be with someone as energetic and vivacious as Nora, someone as gentle and charismatic as Mr. Universe, and it was even more wonderful when I thought about Steven.

The boy with black hair and multicolored look made her blush of just thinking about him, he was a very happy young man, calm, candid, charismatic and very, very nice, both in his physique and his way of acting, a person so nice that she was able to tear a smile out of a stone, being by her side she felt so calm, so alive and happy.

And with Nora it was not far behind, in fact with it something very similar happened. Maybe it's because he met her first than Steven.

He decided to keep this event a secret, his mother had not liked the Universe at all the first time they met, and Connie knew perfectly well that her mother would not like the idea of her daughter, who had previously told her that he could not leave an apartment and less get into another that was not his, not only has disobeyed those orders, but over people who from the first moment did not like her. but it was thanks to that meeting with them that their perspective on their future life here was much better than I ever imagine, a vision of a future that is already seen, it can even touch, blowing with new winds.

He looked at his watch, it was too late, but he lost too much in his own thoughts and without realizing it had already passed 2 full hours.

Connie arranged the pillow better and closed her eyes giving herself completely to the unconsciousness, the last thing she saw before her eyelids closed was the ceiling of her room.

And so he let himself fall into unconsciousness.

.

..

...

And suddenly as fast as the hills opened their eyes again, I did not know how, I did not know why, but there was ... something. It was not good, it was not bad ... it just felt very out of place.

He got up from the bed and visualized everything around him, saw nothing out of place, so he made the decision to get out of bed and open the door to the living room, and it was there with just touching the knob of the door that felt it, felt that if he opened the door something would happen, the feeling overwhelmed her extremely intensely, her heart rumbled in her chest and she felt that she would go deaf when she heard it beat again and again, turn the knob and then she saw ...

... Nothing, absolutely nothing, did not see anything out of the ordinary, the room was in a total and peaceful silence.

I look at the room in its entirety, the furniture was still in place, the television and everything electronic that was not safe was turned off and the very fabric of the universe and space was spilled all over the place from his balcony. Connie did not see anything out of the ordinary and turned to go back to her room and lie on her bed and sleep as she should before her mother catches her awake so late.

-Wait ... what !? - said the brunette realizing and, turning around so quickly that she could almost break her neck, she sees better the panorama.

It was a very fascinating and unreal spectacle: the planets, stars and galaxies or scattered like water through the ceiling, floor and walls of the room, or floating here or there like helium balloons of different shapes, colors and sizes.

He did not say anything, he could not find words to say in front of such an event that was developing against her.

Suddenly he started to walk towards that event in question, he had to see what caused it and if he could stop it, so he walked and went to the epicenter of the event.

I get to the balcony first and kept walking but when I get to the edge I hesitate a moment, but when I stepped outside it felt like walking on an invisible floor, the city under it was very bright and beautiful, but I had no time to get distracted with it, I had to solve this now.

He did not remember how long he had been walking but he knew that he had already spent several hours and he was already tired, he did not know how long he was not going, but he saw that a strange and very beautiful colossal arch, made of rock, had arrived. metal and other materials that he did not recognize, with multiple gems embedded in it, with writings carved on its surface, covering different parts of the entire arch, in a language that he did not recognize but reminded him a bit of the extinct Arabic because of the aspect of the letter , but much more beautiful, saw that there was something beyond the arch like a tunnel with a bright light at the end of it, so I try to pass through the arch, but at first it felt as if a thin membrane made of rubber and totally transparent, I did not notice it, but when I try to pass the writing of the play it lit up when I try to pass.

But to Connie this did not stop her, she decided to try it a second time and like the first time the membrane did not allow her to enter, this time the barrier stretched more and more as the scriptures on the door They illuminated more and more intensely. and suddenly Connie felt and watched as the membrane broke completely, while a very loud sound was heard and very similar to that of a light bulb exploding. Connie looked everywhere to see where that noise came from, but when she saw nothing, she continued on her way and went into the tunnel.

When the captive came out of the tunnel, there was a very beautiful valley with green and large expanses of pasty land that extended as far as the eye could see and beyond, a blue sky with white and fluffy multicolored nebulae, a very beautiful lake full on its edge and its center of beautiful plants and rocks and crystals of various shape sizes and colors, the rocks had symbols and and lines of different shapes and sizes, which flashes go with a light blue sky, the water of that lake seemed not only be cleaner and pure than you ever saw, but also seemed to shine with a light of its own that alternated between sapphire blue and silver, while you could see that under its surface were silhouettes of creatures of all sizes and colors and white lights like flashes dancing the depth, being totally impossible to identify for Connie from a distance, maybe call it lake was not the right thing because it was as immense as an ocean

On the other side there was also a lake, but this lake surprised her even more than the other since this was a lake made of lava, the boiling magma glowed as intensely as the surface of the sun, in the distance great and enormous pillars of fire rose to the sky and were lost in the gray clouds. what was most striking was that there was rock and huge pieces of red-hot metal with red symbols, also drew attention to the fact that despite being a lake of boiling lava not only did not feel the typical melting heat of volcano, but the grass on the edge of the lake was neither burned or withered, even less green.

Connie looked away for a moment and saw many things in the distance, depending on where he looked could see different scenarios and areas, like a huge forest taken from a fantasy world with trees with rock bark with glass leaves, a mountain in shape of gigantic tree and many others more. the sky the great majority was the cosmos in all its greatest and most beautiful splendor.

In the distance I also managed to detect with his vision a gigantic and enormous structure, a huge palace almost as big as the imperial palace itself, although it was so bright that its walls seemed to be bright red, but in many different colors, besides that it seemed have no end

"Well, look nothing else, how did you get here?" Connie heard a deep and spectral voice around her accompanied by a powerful echo, looked around looking for the responsible but I can not find it anywhere.

Until she felt something move under her feet, like when you were standing on a rug and someone pulled her, she saw that her own shadow was deformed and from it came a black smoke with a purple illumination, from it came a being that Connie found it extremely difficult to describe her appearance.

Its appearance was a mixture of a very fluffy royal mantle, a tattered red cloak, the skull of a raven, a crown and a thousand knives, picks, needles and thorns, has four long and very thin arms, almost skeletal, made of steel that end in hands whose fingers are very thin, very long blades, of almost half a meter each, and very sharp to the naked eye which were full of a purple energy and crackled in power, had a crown placed on a bird's head with four red eyes, besides it had no legs, only a huge tail several meters that ended what it looked like a cross between a stinger and a pincer, giving it the appearance of a kind of lamias.

"But what an unusual specimen we have here, where do you come from?"

The girl did not answer the question, it goes without saying that Connie is too terrified with the appearance and appearance of this being which not only did not take his eyes off, not only was it so big that she barely reached the waist, but because he was also too close and the appearance of this being, full of so many picks, blades and so on, it seemed that without even wanting it he could tear her to pieces completely with a simple movement.

During a long and tortuous minutes for the girl no one spoke, the patient patiently waited for a response while moving a little from side to side analyzing her with the look and the girl did not respond because she was frozen by fear, but because each Once the being in question moved, the metal that made up his body could be heard making a few clicks.

"Who is she Krayedge?" I asked another voice, it was softer but it sounded very powerful and feminine.

Connie and the creature, that apparently was called Krayedge, directed their sight to the origin of said vos and there they saw their owner, was a mound of earth which moved and began to rise of the ground and take form, for when it finished it showed the true form of the owner of the voice.

his form was that of a woman made of the same elements that make up the earth, his head and upper torso were made of an ivory white, his head had a crown of horns made of ivory, 6 in total, on each side of his skull , with a very beautiful hair whose strands were real gold, on his forehead was an oval emerald that occupied more than half of his frete, green eyes like a pair of emeralds, the rest of his body was also made of rock and segmented , instead of having an abdomen had a green glass sphere, his legs and arms made of black rock, and the fingers of his arms were made of what appeared to be amethysts that shone with their own light, besides that he had not only a pair of flags with the symbols of the crown empire more important, which were attached to their forearms with rings of pure gold. and besides that he also had a little vegetation going through every part of his body.

"I do not know, Galigea, I do not know and I did not want to respond," Krayedge said.

"It's because your appearance kills fear Kray" said another powerful and heavenly voice, the four stared at their newly arrived owner and saw that he can only be described as a giant warrior angel warrior accompanied by another smaller one, with a golden armor, carrying a huge sword caught in fire, had a huge stature, about 2 meters and a half, and four white wings, in regard to the small, the giant was 3 did not have any weapon in sight, although with that size and that grandeur did not need it, so Connie knew about the mythological creatures and what little he remembered about ancient religions, an angel that has multiple wings is an Archangel.

The Arcangel, smaller had on his right and left what appeared to be robots or knights of his own height, one with a pure golden armor and a hammer, the other had a larger black armor and a sword, both had a shield of great thickness, and they seemed to have wings too, only that unlike the Archangel, theirs were not made of feathers but of the metal that makes up their armor, and they were thinner and smaller.

the archangel stared at her for a moment, Connie felt intimidated by her analytical gaze and her imposing form, in fact she felt the same with all those beings that surrounded her, the angel then spoke, pointed her finger and said to her.

"Little girl, you should not be here, how did you get into this place?" asked the angel, but before she could receive an answer or even Connie could give it, someone else arrived.

It was huge dragon, taller and wider than a 6-storey building, white with sky blue crystal thorns that sprang from its body and a pair of huge white wings, beside it flying next to it and landing was an eagle almost his same measures dressed in armor and covered with a heavenly glow. Both creatures looked somewhat agitated.

But in addition to them, the brunette could realize that many other beings of different shape, size, colors and aspects, each equal or more fantastic than the previous one, had gathered around them all and one of them emanated an aura of gigantic power.

"Hudrakan, Altia, were our assumptions correct?" I ask the greatest Archangel to the two creatures, to which the dragon was the first to respond with a deep and reverberating voice, as well as powerful.

"If Valian, your assumptions were correct, the barrier was completely destroyed" this brought a tide of murmurs.

"the damage in question was massive, it took a huge effort to repair it, until the arch itself, all cracked, broken and cracked, I am in an almost irreparable state" the eagle spoke in a soft, deep and wise voice full of astonishment, which It brought a more intense tide of whispers and gasps from the listeners around him.

Connie still could not speak to the unreal situation that was involved, what were these beings? What did they talk about? and the most important, how did you get into this situation?

she had no idea, but she hoped that one of them would give her an answer soon, although from what she seemed she was not sure of receiving it, now that she realized she was in the exact center of attention, attention from beings that appearance and feeling were extremely strong, and receiving a look from them that did not tell him if he had done something good or bad, but that what he did was great.

"Who are you all?" finally I ask Connie.

"Until you finally speak," said the so-called Krayedge.

"Actually that question we should do to you, little one," said Galigea.

"Yes, Gali is right, you have caused a big mess here" said the smaller archangel.

"I do not understand what they're talking about," the brunette refuses confused.

"You did not even realize what you have done, you are undoubtedly a fascinating girl" said the Archangel.

Connie was going to respond but felt something very strange, her vision became intermittent, those who were watching her realized that she began to disappear and reappear quickly, as if it were an image with interferences.

"It seems that our time is over for now, but rest assured that we will see each other again" finally spoke the giant archangel.

She wanted to respond but felt as if she were lifted out of the air and thrown away, passing between some of the beings, she tried to hold on to something, so she inadvertently ended up tearing off one of the golden strands of the so-called Galilee, she made a cut small in the hand with one of the blades of Krayedge and one of the feathers of one of the wings of one of the archangels.

He realized that it was rising at an increasing speed, and at a certain moment he saw that it was approaching at a huge speed towards a tecgo or wall, he did not have time to scream before crashing fully against it, so he closed the eyes and prepared for the imminent impact.

...

Connie opened her eyes violently and got up very agitated, she saw her around and realized that she was in her bed, everything was com before, it seems that everything was a very strange dream.

He heard the alarm that was at his side and turned it off, gave a yawn and prepared to get out of bed.

But when she went to get up she felt a small and annoying pang of pain in her left hand, she looked at her hand and realized that she had a small cut, she missed herself and her mind was paralyzed for a moment, for a moment she had an idea crazy, but quickly discarded, probably moved while asleep and unwittingly cut with something in bed or near her.

He got up from his bed and took out a Band-Aid that he had in one of the cabinets on his bedside table and put it on, then he set out to put his bed to find that sharp object and that was where he stayed.

That thought, previously discarded, had returned after seeing a couple of other unusual objects in his bed.

They were a white feather and a long piece of gold thread.

That could not be more than a dream.
