Fábulas, de Esopo: Os bens e os males

    1. Os bens e os males

    Sempre mais fracos, os Bens, sendo perseguidos pelos Males,
    subiram aos céus onde perguntaram a Zeus como deveriam
    comportar-se com os homens. Zeus lhes disse que deveriam se
    aproximar dos homens não todos juntos, mas um de cada vez.
    Por isso, os males, por estarem mais perto dos homens, se
    achegam a eles em grupos, enquanto os bens, descendo dos
    céus, o fazem aos poucos.

    Moral: É por essa razão  que ninguém encontra os bens aos
    montes mas, a cada dia, somos atingidos por vários males.

    Narrativa: O maestro deve se lembrar que nenhuma história, a
    qual tudo corre normalmente, dia a dia, aos olhos da pessoa
    comum será interessante, e que as coisas realmente boas são
    um premio, metaforizado aqui como uma coisa que desce dos
    céus, já que os céus eram divinos na antiguidade.

    Comentários:

    Zeus era o líder dos deuses do Olimpo.

    Notas em português:

    Preste bastante atenção na respiração. Ela faz parte da pronúncia correta, e se chama Fluxo. Dica: as letras dobradas puxam a sílaba tónica, mas Akkia não possui sílaba tónica alguma, uma das coisas que a torna de fácil projeção para música e poesia.

    Obrigado.

    adda iruiru jakesa de tattuou dil-a.

    Kalame:

    Zeus, el shéa al Olimpo dul-a.

    Notes in English:

    I want to thank everyone for your pacience. This is a free translation from Fables (of Aesop), in which I try to give more grammatical examples on the Akkia language, and I'd better say this is meant to be the first fable I'm publishing in facebook.

    Akkia is a topic-comment language, so word order is diffrent from portuguese or english.

    I do appreciate every comment.

    Any word can be a bless.

    (New comments, by September 13, 2011)

    This was the Akkia format by June, but now I'm working on the language with my friend Luciana Lima's help, in essential grammar aspects, and new vocabulary. The rules on vocabulary are good. Also, there is a pyramid of things to decide. This example will suffer strong revision. A dictionary is being organized, and we'll have news on the essential vocabulary soon.

    I also want to thank my first two students, Rodrigo and Iara.

    You were of great help, while you have let me think on how to teach my language, even if I'll have to create a new and better way to teach it, which will probably be more fun. Thank you very much. I'll remember our classes forever.

    This is all for now.

    (New Character)

Eryck, ejik, 16, common person, skeighta, a boy from the countryside
    # As soon as he became of age, right now, he moved to Ryklant, a major capital city, to start his life, work, and study on a major technical school, and get his degree on starship piloting
    Archetype: Wild Spirit
    Place of origin: Muoibuac, 50k inhab, Nation of Abbac
    Tribe, Nation or Business: skeighta, studying starship piloting at the Academy of Ryklanta
    Mote: "Hey! Fly, tomorrow by the mountains"

    (Starting Point: The Fuse)

    He woke up early. The first thing noticed was a smell, a terrible smell. As fart. As brimstone. A look at his Pk, and he's just in time.
    No second could be lost.
    The Academy doesn't tolerate being late, but there's nothing important marked on the computer, so he hurried to get ready, calm, and called the porter.
    - Toe, there's a terrible smell in here, coming from another appartment.
    - I'll send a droid to find it. We're sorry.
    With a movement, he stepped onto his board and it flew up. At this very moment, he listened to a loud scream, from the apartment above.
    He jumped out off the window...
    ... but he was very curious.
    Silently, driving his skyboard, he slided close to the enourmous building, and looked for the above apartment window.
    There, he saw a dark skin man, alien maybe, taking off a knife from the old woman, on the floor.
    He got his Pk to film, but then he saw a shadow, like mist.
    It was a small spectre, like a stony creature, in wings, and it pointed it's hand in his direction. A strong flashlight came out...
    ... and he woke up.

    Sweating, he notice he's dressed up to go the Academy. "How could I...(?)", he thought, but he tried to ignore and got his Pk computer.
    At the dream, it was eight, but it's now nine in the morning.
    - Huoy, porter. Did I called you earlier?
    - I'm not sure, but I don't think so. May I help you?
    - Nothe, oka. Thanks.
    It's too late to go to Academy, but it doesn't hurt to see what on today.
    Math astrophysical calculation, in Navigation.
    - Damn. I like it.
    - I see you're online, Eryck. (it was his instructor, Doctor Klug).
    - I missed today's class. Love math.
    - I'll give you the notes, boy. But you'll need to study it to make it even. It's your best theme, I know, so you study alone and give me your notes, right?
    - Right oka.

    "It's time to go the gatherplace and train acrobatics", he thinks.
    But curiosity, mixed with fear, made Eryck move sliding through the window on his skyboard, and see his neighbor to look for an answer.
    The old woman was sitting in a corner, dressed to a wake, and two young girls were putting everything on boxes, as it looks like she's moving, so.

    Confuse, he drives the skies heading the gatherplace.

    The gatherplace is, like every other, a public old building used by skeightas as a safeplace. It's no luxe. More of a home, to many.
    - Hi, you. Pal, I had a strange dream today.
    So, he told it all but the film attempt, and swallowed the part that he woke all dressed.
    There is a skeighta girl, preaty look, about twenty few years old. She has a long white hair, and she doesn't talk much with anyone.
    As soon as Eryck told the dream everyone, he sensed a presence on his back. It's the very first time he sensed anything this way on his life.
    It was the white hair girl, just after him.
    - Did you film?
    - Oh, well. I tried, but there nothing in my Pk.
    She just went to her training, so. No more words. But, "How could she know I tried to film that?" he thought, and he had an idea.
    - Hey, everyone! Fly, tomorrow by the mountains. What on that?
    - I know a place. It's a ruin, but it's safe. (said an older skeighta, 35, short hair). By the end of Buole area, there's an old farm ruin. All that farm things, seventeen buildings, very old, in ruins, all constructed onto one another, all down to a huge valley, those movie settings.
    - Perfect.
    The white girl came to listen, and stoped by the talking boys.
    - Do you come? - Eryck asked her.
    - Wait for me there.
    She just answered, and she's the prettier skeighta ever. Eryck got happy with that. She hardly even talk with anyone, and she haven't get off his mind for the rest of the day.

    He passed the day training hard, to impress the white girl, but she didn't look, more interested in the younger and new skeightas, from nine to eleven.

    As Eryck got home this night, he was tired enogh to go sleep.
    This was exactly the plan.

    Dreams came with ease, but they were fractal nightmares. He was jumping over spider's nests, feeling venon on his skin. Sweating. Trying to wake up, and nothing. He remembers waking a couple of times, but that dreams were so real, and so deep, and so terrifying.
    He could not say what was real, and what doesn't.
    In a moment of wake, Eryck opened his eyes and saw a person by his bedside.
    He went to deep dreaming, again.

    "It was real. I was real. I need to wake up. It was real", he thought repeatedly, trying to wake from the mares of deep ocean, dark and hollow.

    Suddenly, he entered despair, total despair.

    He felt no gravity, so yet it's dreaming. He tried to react to a murdering. He saw the dark skinned alien, like a shadow.
    The whoever was in there, stoped, and steped back.
    - Hoe, shit! - Eryck listens to the man's voice.
    It was like an ejik voice, so he's not so alien, he's got to be the murderer from the day back. But the old woman was there, on the next move.
    What the shout is happening?
    Eryck listened to things falling, his shelf.
    "It's real. It's real. Gotta wake! Waaake!", he tried to scream, but didn't.
    He opened his eyes, and he was raised on the air. Everything was moving, like a hurricane, inside his appartment, and so he saw the man desapearing.
    The invader became a shadow, and Eryck listened to a large "pop", opening his eyes, wide.
    He WAS in the air.
    When the man desapeared, he really woke up.
    It was real.
    - Woooooooooah!
    Everything stoped flying, and he fell listening to his bed sound of crashing.

    He immediately sat, snorting.

    It was real. Really. He rushed to get his stuff into his bigger backpack, steped on his skyboard, and runned off the window.

    - Shit! - he said two minutes later.
    He was flying in no direction, with a sense of danger, fear in his veins.
    So, he just remembered a safeplace. A hostel. Mountain Greens, the name. There, he could sleep and move on, step by step. Well, the appartment is not safe, anymore.
    What the hell was that?
    But wait. I've never been there, at this hostel whatever,...
    He stoped, in mid air.
    Then, he imagined seen the hostel on the network. It doesn't matter, he knows the direction. He always know, a thing he never understood, but that's nice, now.

    The ground became darker, and the hostel he sees is a ruin.
    He sees the mark, a skeighta's older boarder ideogram, saying "Danger", but there's someone in there, he can see, there's someone down there.
    She steped on her skyboard, hug the board as always, and look up him up there.
    "No way she can see on this black night", but he started to go down, sweet and soft, and when coming to the ground, he slided sweetly to her side.
    - What happened?
    - Drink this. (she got a small bottle from her belt). It'll help you. It's ice whisky.
    "What the hell is ice whisky?", he thought, but he drinked, anyway.
    A dry and cold goosebump came as he drunk, relaxing him, in many ways, softing his mind and emotions, another goosebump, it takes eight seconds, maybe, and so it's over.
    - It's good.
    The white hair girl, he couldn't get off his thoughts all day long, she was there, looking to the void, wainting for something, in the dark.
    - What the hell was that?
    - I'm here to help you. (she said).
    - What you mean? You're a skeighta more than me. You were there, before me. And I know your family's skeighta for many generations.
    - Yes, I'm a skeighta much longer before. I just saw something in what you told, your dream, and so I decided to follow you.

    There was only silence, no words, for a while.

    Music :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YfKn62wwMM

    - I followed you to keep you safe, but it looks like they were only going to erase your memory. If the man would harm you, I'd step in. But then, well, everything started to fly and you didn't needed my help.
    - Help?
    - Nice oka. Follow me.
    She steped on the board, and waited.
    He did the same, wating for a move and direction to go, but...
    ... she started to fly.
    She moved upwards, with no board.
    Flying. Really flying.
    Eryck started to follow her, sliding softly upwards holding his skyboard hard.
    When they got a middle height, twenty normeasures, maybe, she stoped, and waited for him. He looked her with nothing to say.
    - Node,... - he had nothing more to say.
    A minute passed.
    - Let's go down - she whispered.

    The only thing he could not help thinking happened. No one had ever seen her boobs. Oh, shit. She's always holding the board in front of it.

    How could he not think of it, when he saw her with no board first time? Tsc.

    When they came down, she immediately steped on the board, and huged it in front.

    - Let's go the ruins. (her voice's always the same tone).

    - What happened?
    - If I knew, I could explain it to you.
    - Noe, I'll have to move on. My house's destroyed.
    - Hmm,... destroyed, well, not exactly. Messy. But it's a good idea to move on.

    They stay in silence, once more.

    She seats on the board, and Eryck lay on his.

    - How... did you make it... you... fly?
    - It's all in here - and she pointed her finger to her own head.

    More silence.

    - Hold on your skyboard.

    He did it. Just in time, for his vision was pulled off his eyes, and he saw everything. He's looking from up and outside of his own window.
    A man appeared from nothing, dressed in what looks like shadows.
    He looks at the sleeping Eryck with evil on his eyes, and came closer to the bed, raised the right hand, around which appeared a transparent energy.
    Eryck, he himself, is mumbling "wake" in terrible nightmares.
    In a moment, it all starts to be hold in the air, and a true hurricane came to existence.
    The man cries "Shit", and the shelf falls.
    At the same time Eryck is raised in the air, with all what, the man goes away with a large "pop", and he sees himself looking to the place the man had so become shadow.

    It's over.

    Eryck came back to his self.

    - Noe! How did you do it?
    - It's all in here - said her, and she pointed her own head again.
    - I'm going to sleep - and he turned aside to sleep.

    (Day 2, Saturday, the ruins by the rocks, Ryklanta, springtime first weeks, 2.056)

    Eryck woke but kept his eyes closed. Is it true? Does he really saw all that? Was it a dream? Terrible, but he was like wainting. He could not believe. He was almost killed, on his own appartment, by a shadow man, and that so beatiful white hair skeighta was there for him.
    He smelled caoffee, from the other appartment.

    So, he opened his eyes.

    The vision of the ruins are dirty, but his feelings he would never be able to explain. The white girl is on a side of a fire, and she's same tone again.
    - There's caoffee.
    - Great! Hey, let's go earlier to the gatherpoint? Take off things from my head. To enjoy adreanaline of this new day rising?
    Eryck saw the caoffee pot fluctuating, she filled the two mugs, and back to the fire.
    - Come?
    - There's a thing I need to explain to you - she sametoned again.
    - What?
    - No one will believe, if you tell.
    - I'm not telling anyone. Believe me. I wouldn't believe in this all myself.

    She just drunk her caoffee, in silence.

    Twenty minutes later, they were the first buddies on the gatherplace. A huge ancient farm, in ruins, all over a side of a mountain.
    One by one, skeightas were coming.
    Eryck was only interested in the adrenaline, to make forget, as it were the last day of his life.
    Five hours later he got tired.
    Skeightas were having a barbecue, fresh meat, and he went to talk with everyone. Two older guys praised him for his acrobatics.
    - Hey. People, you won't believe. Someone invaded my appartment tonight.
    - Node, crap! Did they stole something? - asked a small gril.
    - I haven't noticed, but I think not. It's not possible to live in there, anymore.
    - Hoe! There's the hostel, Refuge, by the south, near Hangar Twelve. It's a nice place, you'd better look - said an older skeighta.
    - Fro some days I guess I'll do it, til get a new appartment.
    - Roll I come? - asked the small girl, softly.
    - Formed, pal. I'll paste. At least til I get a new appa.
    - Good luck. I'll visit you later - wished the girl, with a nap of fingers.
    "She's not a top, this girl, but she's pretty too. Blue eyes, white skin, black hair...", Eryck thought, while starting to eat the snacks.

    It was four on the afternoon, the time he saw the white hair girl last time.

    - Hoe, Obec! That white hair girl, you know? What's her name?
    Obe is an older skeighta, 32, and he answered "Byenc", what means "white", simply. "That's how everyone calls her, anyway", he added.
    Better answer than no answer.

    At the hostel, called Refuge, a long building made of red bricks, he called his parents, back there in the region of Abbac, to tell them (not everything).
    - I'll going to need a new place to live. My appartment was invaded last night. I'm on a hostel, and I need credit to search for a place. Reorganize.
    - Hi, son. (it was his father). Terrible. Here come credits. (tut-tut, made his Pk computer). But,... are you oka? What happened?
    - I'm oka. I wasn't home.
    - Search for a better neighborhood, this time. It's all fine, here at the farm. Your mother's doing cake, and let us know your vacation time. Send news.
    - I'll do it. Right.

    I've sent the new address, to the hostel. When he got a bed, it was in a common thirty beds or more room, and a guy stay snoring, but that's right.
    There he felt safe once more.

    (Day 3, Sunday, just near enough Neighborhood Twelve (but that's right), Ryklanta)

    This morning, he wake up and go the old appartment.

    He quickly got everything, put into boxes, and called a taxi. So, the porter came to talk. He wore a face he never wore before.

    - Hoe. Is it you're moving? There's a letter for you, I've just remembered.

    "A letter?", what.....

    - Owe. The control's owing you money, didn't? Awn,... your appartment had been broken. Awn,... security fail, oka, we're very sorry. You'll have a deposit in credit for that. Sorry.

    "I haven't mentioned it to have been invaded. What the hell is going on?", Eryck thought.

    On the taxi.....

    - Hey, cab. Do you remember receiving a... "letter", from mail corporation, ever?
    - Twice, younger. - said the old driver - Only twice. It happens the mail corps do deliver order from everywhere, but it all come from network most of the time, basically.

    Music :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIZbGcldve0

    He looked to the letter, and there was a symbol on it. Fluctuating, as a hologram. That would be normal, even if there's no mail corporation stamp, but it wasn't.
    Then, he opened it.

    "Greetings, Eryck. This night I dreamed of you. The world is strange, but it may be a nice place. Not everyone wants to harm you. Remember.
    Good luck.

    Olýka, the seer".

    "Seer?", Eryck was kinda lost.

    He called for a screen from the Pk, and search mode found no entry on "Olýka, the seer" on the network. As it all couldn't get stranger.

    To find a new appa is an easy thing, when you've got the creds.

    Eryck chose a new appartment in the border of Nighborhood Twelve, a hard neighborhood. But well, he doesn't care much.
    And,... he's a skeighta, after all.
    He took at least two hours to put everything on it's place.
    And so, it became dark night outside.

    (One week later)

    The Academy got his thoughts off those weird stuff, at least.

    Eryck is studying Starship Nativation, on a technical level, for now seven months. Later, he'll be able to find a real pilot and learn it all himself.
    Math is his best discipline, and so calculation.
    He has some friends in the Academy, but this week he turned away to himself, with the very specific cause of forgetting everything.

    And so, it came friday, and Byenc got back to his mind.

    He decided to hang out.

    No better place to go, if not that ruins nearby. With luck, Byenc would be in there. It's so strange this all, he can't stop thinking of her.
    That's just because she's a pretty kitten, he thought.

    The ruins are deserted. Even this way, he slided from the south and went down to see. He went to the same place they slept the other night, and there were a fire partially extinguished.
    "I knew it. She's around".

    He graffited just by the fire, an small ideogram to say "Safeplace", and steped his skyboard. But well, he just faked leaving.
    When leaving, he saw a shadow passing from one tree to another.
    He was attentive to every sound.
    That was strange, so he decides to fly higher, and from above he sees a symbol, on one of the dozen rock ruins, that is a square cutted crossly by two straight lines.
    Even Eryck knows this is a symbol of a group of gods in mythology, but he wish to know more about it than the rare bits of info got from movie media now.
    So, he got to a place where he would see and not be seen.

    Minutes later, he sees a flying speederbike coming. It comes closer, and stops at the very ruin he went, a three floor rock ruin that looks like a living place, or a side building for some ancient construction, but the biker takes off the protective shield, and enter.
    He sees Byenc appearing from nothing, just by the fire.

    Deciding to come closer, he wants to come sudenly from the upper level through the window, so he slides silently til there, and come up.

    He headed down and entered. Byenc saw him, but none of them got impressed, really. She was in front of the fire, waiting.

    - Why you took so long? I'll hot the caoffee, then.

    The old man's voice was friendly.

    - Eryck.
    - How may I call you? Byenc?
    - Yes.
    - There are other people in here. I saw a shadow.
    - This place has... spirits.
    - I've neve seen a spirit before.
    - Awn,... this is Awin.
    - Pleasure - said the old guy, middle age, with grey hair and goatee.
    - This only time will tell - answered Eryck.

    The old man smiled and went to the fire and touched the caoffee pot. It immediately started to boil. So, Byenc got three mugs off her backpack.

    - Caoffee's ready. Knew you'd got the mugs, Byenc. (said the old man).

    They three sitted by the fire.

    - You were waiting for me. What for?
    - Awin is a friend of my family. He doesn't live here, so that's why he took so long. He's a wizard.
    - Waw.
    - Well, I don't know yet why I came, but I'm here.
    - I'm waiting, too. (resumed Eryck).
    - Actually, Awin, I have only a suspition, but no sure on anything. Well, Eryck. I think you made things fly that day, that's all.
    - Right. From guess to be sure,... you brought him for this?
    - Yes.
    - Awin, how are you going to be sure?
    - There are many ways to do this.
    - I hope there is actually one that doesn't involves pain.
    - I'm exactly trying to think on them, but they are very few. I wish you to know.
    - Choices?
    - Under pressure, induction, and pain.
    - If Byenc called you here, this is obviously a must know.
    - Your aura show no special condition, basically - the old man said, looking around Eryck's head.
    - I'm not sure it's good.

    They went to silence, during a moment.

    - The faster way is pain, isn't it? So, let's get it done. I want to get it off my mind.

    Immediatelly, everything that happened desapeared from Eryck's mind, as it were never there, and he was transported to the exact time when it happened, one week before. He lived it all again, as it were the first time, to have the same reactions. All exactly perfect. And when he wake, it was not at his appartment, but on the ancient ruins at the base of Ryklant's mountains. Everything was in the air, including himself, but it all stoped and he started to fall.
    - AAAaaaaaaaaaaahh..........
    He stoped, levitating smallmeasures from the ground.

    Eryck look to his skate, and sitted promptly.

    - Negative, there's nothing wrong with me, isn't it? (silence). Damn.

    He passed his left hand on his own face, still not believing.

    - Huhm... yes (started the middle age wizard),...
    - Yes, what?
    - You have a rare magical gift. (silence). It's called elementalism.
    - Huh?
    - Elementalism.
    - It was not my answer.
    - It was.
    - And what can I do, now? It's not nice when someone gets into your home, and try to erase your memory.
    - Of course not. It'll take a few moments. Wait.

    The wizard ordered a screen on the air to his Pk, and started to speak on a different language. He hadn't polirized the screen, so Eryck was seen an avatar talking on it. It took only two minutes. The loading ended, and the wizard ordered off the screen.

    - You Pk (asked the wizard to Eryck),...

    The computer made the tut-tut, and the wizard put his back on his speederbike jacket.

    - This is (the wizard started) a databank. Basic instruction. Wind element. If you don't study this, you can be danger to everyone, or worst, to yourself.
    - So, I don't have even the option to not learning. (Eryck didn't question, only affirmed this, hoping he was not right, this time)
    - No.
    - Which language is this?
    - Oh, Trade. This is the language of commerce. It's spoken in several galaxies. Actually, many noble corporates speak it, too.
    - I've listened to it in movies.

    (the strange group stay in silence once more, and Eryck served himself more caoffee).

    - Awin, have you ever heard of Olýka?
    - Oka! Olýka! She's a great Seer. She sees everything, everything. It just happen she doesn't speak to anyone for the last five years, actually.
    - I received a letter from her.
    - That's good.
    - You want to say it's always good?
    - No. But it's good. Well, I'm not sure, but I better think it's good.

    Minutes later, the wizard wave farewell to the duo, mounting his speederbike. "There no way out", was what Eryck was thinking.

    - Hey, this is a greeting, this move. You put your hand on the chest, same way you did to enter the ruins the other day. Why did you do that?
    - Ee. That's probably not in your databank, but it's better explain. (said Byenc). Every ruin, in every corner of the Universe is a sacred place. That's called Necropolis.
    - Nice name for that.
    Eryck saw she almost smiling, for the very first time. He knows she never smiles. He was trying to make she smile, but he couldn't imagine how to do it.
    Although this everything are all new, he's happy now.
    - I'm coming closer, now - he said.
    - These places have necroform. Nekron. These places show psychic manifesting. They are home to poltergeists, and spirits. That's almost like feeling home.

    "Not exactly", he was thinking this time.

    - Ah. Eryck. There's something I need to explain to you. Common people, they.....
    - I know how this is.
    - ,... they react strangely to magic.
    - Well, I saw it.
    - Are you prepared? - and Byenc inverted the fire, with the ground, so earth from below came upside.
    - This was better than before, earlier.
    - That,... was an illusion - she answered, sametone as usual.

    Byenc steped her skyboard, and he followed.

    She let him in to see every danger-marked place on the mountains. On one, she made a "Ssh.," and they entered a dark wood area.
    Moving slowly, the duo got near a strange house, in the woods.
    There was a small creature, greyish, half green, with pointed ears, who was fixing a wall clock. He got stunned, to see a creature.
    Byenc explained it's a bogling, when they got off there.
    It was nearly morning when she invited him to see something she like, and she took him to a very beautiful monastery, where she got down and steped in front of the hard doors. He followed. A small wicket opened, and she spoke that language again, Trade.
    They entered a large monastery courtyard.
    As the day was raising, monks came from everywhere. So, the oldest steped on a higher place, and they started to practice early movements of martial arts, in silence.
    After that, which took half an hour, they all went in silence to their do-a-do, but one came to the duo to talk with them.
    Byenc said something in trade language.
    The monk so took the cork off his water bottle and levitated it. The mass of water stoped in mid air, and sudenly it freezed, forming a beautiful ice christal.
    He turn the ice back into water, and put his hand on his chest.
    Eryck did it too, for the first time.
    When they got off there, they went walking down the road, not flying, and Eryck started to feel this may, one day, be good.
    Byenc stoped, looking to a village.

    - What?
    - I'm trying to see, but probably I won't be able to see. Why don't you try?
    - What? - he questioned again.
    - There's a symbol at every entrance of wizarding villages. But I could never see it. I wish I could. Try. You must concentrate a lot, but try.

    He started to concentrate, with all his will.

    Some moments passed, and so he saw it, just around the biggest tree. "It's there. I can see", he said to her. And so, he tried to describe, as "I can't exactly say what this is. It's like words can't describe it, but I'm sure it's a symbol, and I'm also,... sure, it's magical".

    Then, a man came out off of a house, and started to look at them.

    Eryck was too concentrated, but he saw him. It was a strange feeling, this. He tried to see everything again, but everything was strange.
    He forced his mind back, and it all came back to normal.
    - Hoe, hoe. Finally. You got off the trance. There's a man down there, and I think it's better if we go, now.
    - I know. I was trying to say that, but it was all strange.
    - I don't know which language you were speaking, but it wasn't Oka.
    - I was speaking another language?

    They went away, before the wizards all came to see what was wrong.

    Byenc suggested a hostel, by the bervedere. Just fifteen minutes away, so they got there safely. She was looking really tired.
    - Yes, I'm really tired. I don't sleep for three days already.
    - So, let enter and sleep.
    - Before that, I'll have to say. Guard. That's the only safeway to sleep. I'll sleep first. You keep your eyes opened, and guard me.
    - I'll be on your side.

    They entered a big sleeping room. There was a restaurant, also. All doors were showing the "Silence" words on 'em, and the place was really calm and peacefull.

    He guarded her for five hours, until a fat boy, entering the room, let all his stuff fell to the ground.

    Byenc immediately sitted, awakened. Her eyes were full black. Eryck noticed that, and he felt fear coming from her, and he didn't move.
    Seeing everything was oka, she closed her eyes, and they came normal after she opened again.
    He came closer to her, to say.

    - You were expiring "poison", so... do you know that? - he was affraid someone noticed.

    Fortunately, no one there make a move. It was all right, and she just said "Your time to sleep", and prepared to guard him, sitting and pretending to read something on the network. So, he started to think of what had happened, and remembered where he saw that black eyes. It's the Ikka race's eyes of fury. They enter this state to survive, but they kill everyone on sight.
    So, it all came. She half Ikka. This is her secret.
    Eryck remembered she can read minds, and opened his eyes to look at her.

    Byenc was smiling, for the very first time.

    He turned to a side, and started to sleep, safe, finally.

    - Hey, I'll have many things to do this week. So,... we can see each other next week?

    It was more than he expected. He went home with her face on his mind. Her secret's safe. The safety, and the sensation of safety he sensed while she was on guard, and prepared to one more week at the Academy. A different one. One in which he'd be studying Starship Piloting together with the basics on his new secret study, on which he thought would be special, from the basics, or he'd be in danger, again.
