Ishnofel was immersed in darkness, the night wrapping around him like a cloak. The shadows danced among the trees in the park, whispering dark secrets as the icy wind caressed his skin. The moon shone high above, illuminating his path as he approached his goal.
His thoughts were tangled in confusion and hatred. He had been chasing God's chosen ones: Ruwi, Camila, Rosenda, and Daniel. His gaze was particularly fixated on Ruwi, whose presence both fascinated and terrified him. There was something in his dark eyes, in his smile, and in his hair that echoed through his past.
One night, Ishnofel became a shadow, slipping through the door of Ruwi's room. The atmosphere was tense, filled with memories. He opened the drawers with trembling hands, searching for any clue, until his eyes landed on a worn-out photo of his ex-wife. His heart sank as he recognized her—a painful memory he could never forget.
—Impossible. This can't be... it's... my son. —rage bubbled inside him, like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
Meanwhile, in the park, Ruwi, Camila, Rosenda, and Daniel enjoyed the fresh air, though the strange absence of passersby made them uneasy. The sun shone brightly, but a shadow of foreboding loomed over them.
—This is weird, don't you think? —Daniel asked, his voice filled with concern.
—I don't know, Daniel. I have a bad feeling. —Ruwi looked around, tension building in his chest.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. A dark shadow emerged from the forest, and Ishnofel presented himself with a sinister smile, like a predator stalking its prey.
—You just had to speak, didn't you? —Rosenda said, frustration evident in her voice.
Ishnofel lunged at them. Ruwi moved in an instant, dodging an attack with agility. Camila and Rosenda followed, while Daniel tried to hold off the demon. However, Ishnofel was a whirlwind of strength and darkness. He stopped Daniel's punch and, with a brutal movement, knocked him down, leaving him writhing in pain.
—Camila! Go and get our swords! —Ruwi shouted, adrenaline rushing through his veins as he helped Daniel up.
Camila dashed toward Ruwi's house, her heartbeat pounding in her ears. Upon arriving, she knocked on the door urgently.
—What's wrong, Camila? —Liz asked, her face pale with worry.
—A demon attacked us. We need our angelic swords. —Camila replied, anguish palpable in her voice.
Liz and Camila hurried to Ruwi's room. Liz opened an ancient box containing her sword, and as she wielded it, a celestial light illuminated the room, revealing an angelic armor that shone in shades of gray and pink.
Back in the park, the battle raged on fiercely. Ruwi tried to defend himself with a branch, while Ishnofel moved with astonishing agility, disarming Ruwi with a single gesture. The leaves crunched beneath their feet as the combat intensified.
—You are surprisingly skilled. —Ishnofel commented, his voice dripping with mockery.
Ruwi gritted his teeth and kept attacking, but the human demon, now wielding a sword, sliced the branch in two and pushed him to the ground. With a swift movement, Ruwi got up and managed to strike Ishnofel in the stomach, making him drop his sword.
—Nice move, kid. —Ishnofel laughed, enjoying the challenge.
The air filled with sparks as their swords clashed, resonating like thunder in the sky. Ruwi moved with determination, but Ishnofel was a master in the art of combat, unleashing a series of attacks that forced Ruwi to retreat.
—Ruwi, do you want to know what happened to your parents? —Ishnofel stared at him, his voice a venomous whisper.
—I already know enough. They told me you killed them. —Ruwi responded, his fury blazing.
—No. I am your father. —the revelation struck like lightning, leaving Ruwi paralyzed.
At that moment, a portal opened, and Liz appeared alongside Camila. Ishnofel's face darkened upon seeing Liz.
—Aunt, what are you doing here? —Ruwi tried to stand, but the pain kept him down.
Liz, with unwavering determination, ordered Camila to take Rosenda and Daniel, who lay unconscious on the ground, and get Ruwi out.
—No, I can't leave you. We've always been together. —Ruwi fought against his tears.
—Take care, dear… —Liz gave him a loving look as the portal closed behind them.
—I thought I knew you, but I was wrong. My best friend wouldn't be as vile as you. —Liz, sadness in her gaze, faced Ishnofel.
—José Bonillas was weak. I killed him. —Ishnofel replied, cold as ice.
—Then I will avenge his death. —Liz, sword in hand, took a defensive stance.
The air grew heavy with tension. Ishnofel charged at Liz with a ferocity that reverberated across the battlefield, his dark sword glowing with a menacing aura. Liz, agile as a feline, dodged the first strike, her blade clashing against his with a resounding thunder.
The fight was a deadly dance. Ishnofel unleashed a flurry of savage attacks, his fury evident in every move. Liz, calm and determined, held her ground, analyzing every opportunity as the wind howled around them.
With a quick turn, Liz hurled a rock at Ishnofel, who destroyed it with ease, but his arrogance cost him. In a moment of distraction, he launched sharp stakes toward her. Liz, with surprising precision, cut each of them down, feeling adrenaline coursing through her veins.
In a moment of brilliant clarity, she managed to deflect his sword and sliced off a piece of Ishnofel's helmet, revealing a glimpse of his dark interior.
—... Liz... —a voice echoed, intertwined with demonic whispers.
She turned and saw a green eye, filled with confusion and pain.
—José, I won't abandon you, not this time. —Liz said, her voice resonating with determination.
—Then you will die. —Ishnofel, now torn between his demonic nature and his memories, charged once more.
The attacks were a storm, and Liz, with fluid movements, dodged and blocked masterfully. However, in an unexpected twist, Ishnofel managed to pierce his sword into Liz's stomach.
Pain shot through her, but in a desperate act, Liz embraced Ishnofel tightly, binding their fates in a moment of vulnerability.
—I don't want to fight… —she whispered, feeling the warmth of the demon through his cold armor.
Ishnofel, surprised by the gesture, hesitated. In that brief moment, the battle became something more: not just a clash of swords, but of souls.
—There is goodness in you, José. You are not a demon. You are still human. —Liz whispered in his ear.
Silence overtook the place. Finally, Ishnofel walked away, leaving the battlefield as the others arrived, running.
Ruwi, seeing his aunt wounded, ran toward her.
—Aunt… let me take you to the hospital. You'll recover… —he said, trying to hold back his tears.
—Dear, my time has come. You gave me a happy life. I love you, my child. —Liz smiled with love, her voice a soft melody amidst the chaos.
—Don't go, please. You promised we'd be together. —Ruwi cried, holding her tightly.
—One more thing before I leave: the human demon is your father, José. —and with those words, she closed her eyes, leaving Ruwi in shock.
Tears began to flow as pain and betrayal overwhelmed him, and he was embraced by Camila, Rosenda, and Daniel, united in their shared grief.
