Katona took one last glance at the letter, the sender had written a clear, time and place of the meeting: at the sunset, not far from the west of the capital, the young princes had reflected throughout the morning, he had sought advice in West and came to the conclusion that, if it was a trap, there would have been the captain of the guards to protect him, but if the shipper was in good faith, there was everything to gain.
"I hope Shiree not hate me for missing the appointment that we had set yesterday, I will send a letter of apology and justification. I'm sure He will understand. "
A gust of fresh wind the hair unruffled, the snow was melting, an unmistakable sign that spring was near, and the first flower buds peeping from snow cover thinned, the trees were no longer cute, if you looked closely you could see the nests of birds, being in nature was something to Katona loved it, since little had ever visited the castle grounds, when it had become the largest had a habit of go at least once every seven days in the forest nearby.
In recent months, however, had to give up her "defect", the absence of his father and the resulting first and the approach of Ragnarok regency after they had moved away from the woods, so he was happy that the venue was right on the edge of the forest was like a refreshing breeze on his mood.
Katona relaxed, perched on the walls of the city was West to monitor the situation, the prince did not have any fear because it was perfectly safe.
"Prince Katona. "A voice called to him, bringing it to the world. The herald of
Roriath turned and saw an old man, bent on a stick, approach quietly, he noticed that his eyes were completely white.
"You are blind. "Said Katona shocked.
"Yes, but I won my goddess the view of the Beyond.
I do not see what was happening around me, but I can see what will happen in the future. "
" You are a visionary then. "
" If you like to call it. My Goddess does not participate in Ragnarok to fight, only to warn, with his enchanted mirror has seen the future, he asked me to report that the fate of the world depends on you. "
The breath of the child prince stopped for a moment, he was not prepared for that kind of revelation, he believed that the Ragnarok was a war between goddesses, whose winner would become the favorite of law Arman, the king of the gods, so had been reported by Roriath, may have been just a lie to induce him to accept the role of herald? And if it was really the beginning of the end of the world, as written in the books and acted in all the myths and legends?
"I feel your confusion, prince.
Listen carefully, this is the vision of my goddess.
Eeda, supreme goddess of the Wheel of Fate, she saw a door that should not be crossed, the years go by and still no one has the courage to set foot across the threshold, then you come you, accompanied by a mysterious figure, wounded and battered . Here
the mirror of my Lady splits, one part and you see that figure to stop before moving through the door, the figure dies, but the the world is saved, and other surface he sees you overcome inauspicious border, the mysterious figure who guides you save it, but at a price, a dark power is awakened and the whole world falls into darkness. "
The moon began to rise high in the black night sky and darkness surrounded the two men, the frost penetrated the body of the prince, not only for the actual temperature of that hour, especially for the old man's words. The fate of the world fell into his hands in his choice.
"When will it happen? Well, I think I have the right to know when I will be able to trigger the end of the world! And ... and the door? How will I recognize it? Do you have any particular listing, a guardian to deal with, or ... "
" Do not be impatient, you'll know when the time comes, and then you will know what is the decision to make. "
" What a question, I already know what decision to take, I will not unleash chaos! "
" Are you sure? "The old
did not say a word, just as he arrived he went, slowly, leaning on his stick, leaving Katona in complete confusion.
Prince knew, rationally, to make the right decision was to not cross the threshold, the death of a person was acceptable if the price was the world whole, however, the last words had put del''anziano herald further turmoil in the body, only then, think calmly, he considered that in making a choice not only affect the rationality, but also emotional and personal factors, many people chose the wrong path because guided by feelings.
Katona was standing with his back resting against the trunk of a tree, West found it more thoughtful than when he had left shortly before.
"You made me take a good scare, you know? The other type is back in town and even the shadow of your presence, I feared I had done something.
What is it? You are more tense rope an arc. "
" The string of a bow is like butter compared to how I feel right now. Not that you give me a hand? I'm not sure of the stability of my legs. "
the castle there is an air of celebration that evening, His Majesty, to entertain some guests to Jukigabijo, had set up a small circus in the drawing room, acrobats and jugglers will perform at the center of a room, and waiters serve handing out sandwiches, snacks, drinks and bread only Katona stood apart, lost in thought.
"Do not give punishment for what you said the old man when I cross the city, at the door, I said that I marry within a year, crazy. Believe me, there is that old man with his head, that I'm getting married, pf! "The prince
lower half-smiled, as the idea of \u200b\u200bloving husband and devoted West was really almost impossible to formulate a thought, all knew the castle, especially women, the captain of the guards was a man who liked to have fun and fleeing from commitments, no more than a month was the period in which the young man could devote himself to a woman, got bored easily.
there was to say in his favor, he never tried to fool the girls, the latter, in fact, they were always aware of the intentions of the captain, West had always been clear on this point.
'West, if I can trigger the apocalypse, you can even get married. "Katon said amused.
"Do not even joke about the day when I had to marry is really the end of the world. "
" Do not bring myself to bet, you know I do not like gambling. "
The captain of the guard shook his head jokingly, had identified a couple of" prey ", two pieces still to be tasted.
"Forgive me if I drop, but my kind of predator calling me. »Katona
stared away, he decided that he would return to his rooms, had to think about how to apologize Shiree and had to do it before it was too later.
