Chapter 19.
Almost immediately Reena managed to get to where the boys were and the moment they saw her they hugged her tightly, and then Lucas asked her: ¿How were you able to escape from the guardian of Rock? I thought you would be dead, then she answered him: The guardian of Rock is someone interesting, but he is definitely someone who keeps his word, he is a ghost with honor who keeps his word, I made a bet with him and he let me go, I don't see him as a rival, on the contrary, I can see him as an ally and I begin to realize that I like having an ally in the afterlife more than having someone I know in this earthly world, it is interesting and a source of wisdom.
Oscar told her that she was lucky that the guardian had empathy with her, but that it was better not to risk anything with the next guardian, because we could not run with the same luck all the time and Dario agreed with Oscar and told Reena not to do anything stupid with the next guardian, because it would really be foolish to put her life at risk at the hands of someone we cannot blame... and in this way the group continued on the path to follow...
After a few minutes they found themselves in a very calm place, peace reigned in that area, the tranquility that the place transmitted was so much that it seemed like a fantasy; almost instantly a man appeared wearing a bright tunic and of impossible beauty, that man was the guardian of the scrolls of heaven, and upon seeing them he told them to go back, to return home, but none of them were willing to return.
Then the guardian told them that it was best to go back the right way rather than stain their hands with blood again.
It was then that Dario told him that they were not going to turn back, that they were going to continue on the path to follow and that they really needed to get the lost object, to which the guardian ironically told him that there were many who longed to reach the lost objects, but few got past the first guardian, that they were really brave enough to get here, however, that bravery would be of no use to them, because he could not give them the heart of the guardian, that is, the scrolls of heaven.
When Oscar told him that if he was just as they really said, he could hand over the scrolls without any problem, because they were not going to use them for evil, but on the contrary, they were going to use them to do good; and the guardian told him that good and evil are made in the same way, only that humans do not understand it because they are simple and immature, and feeling indignant Lucas told him that humans are not immature, but they see things from a different side that he would not understand because he was already dead, to which the guardian told him that he had not even been born and then Reena told him: ¿what is it to live without being born?, the angel replied that living without being born is fighting for good and frankly humanity would never understand for sure what it is to live without being born, because they only understand the part of being born to live. It was then that Oscar came up with the magnificent idea of challenging the guardian and unsheathing his little sword he threatened him telling him that he would give him his heart one way or another, to which the guardian simply began to laugh, because it seemed so stupid to him that they challenged him being a guardian of heaven, a warrior angel; however, he accepted, and taking off his tunic, he revealed that his body was largely covered by weapons of all kinds, a little repentant he tried to back out of the bet with the guardian, but the latter did not let him as he unsheathed a katana and pointed it directly at him, making Oscar's legs tremble.
Lucas almost immediately noticed that the scrolls of heaven were shining in the central part of his back and, agreeing with Dario and Reena, they attacked the guardian from behind while he was beating up Oscar.
When Reena touched the scrolls of heaven, a strong impact made them fly away from the guardian and as they fell to the ground, they noticed that this time they would have to think of a better way to steal the scrolls, but unfortunately it was very likely that none of them could survive, since an attack on the sacred scrolls was almost impossible to achieve.
And while the trio was putting together a strategy to get the scrolls and save Oscar, the latter was quite hurt, because the guardian was as they had said he was fair, but reckless, he was someone they could not easily deceive or steal from, he was everything they could not deceive…
With great care they were able to get between the guardian and Oscar before a disaster occurred, while the guardian remained the same, Oscar was badly injured and had trouble breathing due to the attacks implemented by the guardian, which had been very strategic to prolong his torture.
Warning them to give up, return and deliver the lost objects to the guardians.
Answering Lucas said: never in your life we would give the objects to the guardians again, because they had been through a lot the situations and they had lost some colleagues along the way and he would not let their death be in vain, he would fight to the end and 100 times he would give his life in exchange for the object, which he would do with great honor.
This surprised the guardian, who told him that he was somewhat impressed with him, but not enough, however, for that reason he would spare their lives without giving them the scrolls from heaven
Then Dario told him: ¿what is the point of letting us go at this moment if we are not going to be able to return without the scrolls?, it is better to die here with dignity than to return humiliated, adding Reena that they would never break their word and that they would never leave one of their own behind, so the guardian told them: you have impressed me; and as I am fair I will give you the scrolls, because I know that if you have come this far it is because your destiny is different from that of any human being, then walk over there for the last object and be careful on the way, keep the same thought and you will go far, then, bowing, the quartet told him right there on their knees, that if there was something good that the guardian wanted them to do, they would do it.
The guardian looking at them said: at some point I will collect, I will take that promise from you, in the meantime, take the scrolls and continue on the path of life, justice and kindness.
