The Moon Watch

Hősök Tere City Park
Surroundings of Vajdahunyad Castle, Aria's world
9:45 PM

A dark night covered the sky, but there were no stars in the sky, so to make this gloomy environment a little more pleasant for my darling, I decided to put the moon as close and bright as possible, in this way at least he will have the certainty I am here with him. In fact, he is not alone at all, because practically everyone who was here that night in the past is here today too. So his whole family is here together having a good time talking and celebrating among themselves. But although I would love to accompany you to such a splendid celebration, right now I was busy carrying out the task that my love asked of me. While Maria busied herself with finding something inside the great hall, I resolved to try to talk to everyone possible and check the surroundings of the castle. Right there where I was in a part of the gardens near a vehicle like those used by humans now on earth, although it looked much more primitive than those I had seen before, it also seemed to be some kind of a  mobile medical unit, since Uncle Jose was in it, receiving treatment for the wounds he received from a glass window that he broke when he got scared when he saw my Honey walking in the castle. Next to him was the grandmother, talking to her son, scolding him for looking scared and acting like a child despite his age.  At the same time that she treated his wounds because he did not let the paramedics make him, because the grandmother said that she did not trust them, that they looked too greedy to be doctors. And just when she said that she spilled what looked like a glass with what seemed to be alcohol, because when it fell on Jose's wound, this cry of pain. Then her mother reproached him for complaining like a child about a little pain, despite being the one responsible for it. 

I was waiting for them to finish so I could talk to the head of the family, who is the grandmother according to all the other relatives. According to them, she is the one who directs or advises others on what to do, whether it is to build a house somewhere or to give the go-ahead to host an expensive party like this in another country. Despite her age, she has skill with her hands when treating Jose, that I can distinguish just by looking at her, she must have done crafts very often, in addition to seeing her knowledge of first aid, she is someone or very wise, or who has treated many wounds similar over time. When she finished she washed her hands, dried herself with a towel, and immediately walked over to me. Which surprised me as I thought she hadn't noticed me before. 

"Shouldn't you be with your husband?"
"What are you doing out here away from the party?"
"Do you want to talk to me so much?"
"But unfortunately my mind is not what it was, so I forgot the way back home" she said with a smile on his face as he picked up some palm leaf and began to tie it all over the place

"But how ..."
"Sorry, I was just thinking of talking and introducing myself to the whole family"
"So talking to you is important after all"

"I'm not as important to how people want to make me look"
"I only dedicate myself to speaking and giving advice to others"
"In any case, the important would be my daughter"
"As I understand it, she has a fairly important position in all that political mess"
"But I don't know much about it"
"I only ask God to please save her from people who could hurt her just for her work"
"Do you know if he is taking care of it?"
"After all, you should know him, right?"
"But what am I saying, forgive me I didn't want to bother"
"It's just that my mind is no longer what it was"
"Do not let me wander too much"

"I swear I will do my best to keep your family safe" I responded quickly to calm her down
"I give you my word"

"I know you are doing it"
"After all, you're doing your best to shine as bright as possible tonight, right?"
"You want even my grandson to feel safe on this strange night"

It is quite difficult to talk to her, it is as if she knows exactly what is happening but at the same time, she does not want to say much. It's as if she already knows what I'm going to talk about and she redirects the topic to another topic that interests her. I have to be more direct, she is acting so strange that it is even suspicious that she does not know something about what is happening.

"It is quite interesting" She said pointing to a part of the forest
"The first time I was here this building was not there"
"But my mind is not what it was, it could be that I am simply mistaking it for another"

On the top of the trees, you could see a little the shape of a building, it was square and silver in color, it had many windows, it was of a completely different style from the castle, it had more in common with those who had today in Tokyo. And if what my darling said is true that this world seemed to be in the past, that different place may be a good place to investigate. 

"Excuse me, but do you know anything about that place?"
"If not, you probably want to take a better look at that building than to sit down and have a boring chat with me" She said again

"Oh no, after all, you are an important person to me too"
"I want to have the opportunity to speak with you for a longer time"

"You have very good manners girl"
"I see why my grandson wanted to be with you"
"But don't worry, I can assure you that we will have time to talk later on other occasions"
"That way, maybe my mind feels younger and stops talking confusing things like it has been doing all night and we can talk normally"
"Don't you want that after all?"
"I know you don't like being a serious person and you want to be more cheerful"
"You will have time to show me that side of you when the time comes"
"Ha ha ha"
"Here, I give you this"
"I like to be making animal figures with palm leaf "
"This time try to make a fox since you are one"
"But it was very difficult for me, have this cricket better"
"When Cesar was just a kid he loved me to do things like this"
"See you" she said and then returned to the car and picked up Mr. Jose to take him back to the castle.

For my part, I followed the path to get to that building, it was about ten floors, when I arrived the place was quite strange, because more than looking like a whole place, it was as if they had cut it wrong in half, so from one side of the building you could see the interior perfectly, inside there were a lot of modern things that I had seen before when I returned to earth. Inside the building, there was only one person, who acted as if he was talking to other people and even showed documents on the air in order to support whatever he wanted to prove whatever he was saying.  He was a huge man, he was about six feet tall and his broad complexion made him look like some kind of Oni ogre, but I could confirm that he was indeed a human, he also had a rather peculiar mustache of a style that I had never seen before.  He seemed quite strange to me, his actions and the place he was in, so I went and tried to talk to him. 

"Good night dear gentleman"
"I see that today is as busy as ever"
"Is there a specific reason for today?"

"Ho, excuse me, ma'am"
"I don't want to disturb you with my work"
"It's not like me to work late at night"
"It was not my intention to disturb anyone" The man spoke with a deep voice but trying to be kind
"It's just that the future company my wife is trying to start depends on the meeting I have shortly."
"So I'm trying to make sure that I have everything in order and that the investors agree to help us and give the go-ahead to start." The big man talks to me while I sorted various documents in a folder over and over again

"That was heard enough important not to leave it to the mercy of fate"
"I hope I'm not interrupting your work"
!!!
"I know, how about you practice a little talking to me about this project you have in mind?"
"Perhaps in this way he becomes more calm and confident in front of others when it is the moment of truth." I put it as an excuse to get more information about him.

"Well I think that could work"
"Is a good suggestion"
"Ok here I go" Said the man with a nervous voice
"I'm going to start by introducing myself first"
"My name is Damien Raven and I am here with my wife Rose Raven"

At that moment the signal to the left of him seemed to give way for that girl to speak, but where he was pointing there was nothing but the cut part of the building, he was pointing towards the void that was on the tenth floor.

"haha"
"You're right about that but you don't have to joke with her so much"
"She is helping us to calm down a little"
"Also, it may be that the people of the winter see it in a bad way"

He suddenly began to speak as if there was a third person with us, but no matter how hard he looked, there were no traces of anything, there was only him and me.
It will be that part of what he thinks is a dream he is making him imagine that he is the wife that he refers to.

"We want to call our company Intelligence Systems Company"
"And our main focus is to present revolutionary technological solutions."
"From new methods of transportation for the average city citizen to new methods of energy storage perhaps hundreds of times more efficient than current lithium batteries."
"The bases for these such inventions have been the idea of ​​my wife and genius Mrs. Raven"
"In addition to this, we are planning to use part of the new technologies to also develop and advance the science of medicine."
"We have strong indications that some of several new creative materials that we can develop could help in the creation of new medicines as well as better first aid kits, such as the creation of a medicinal gel to quickly attend to serious injuries from an accident."
"These are not intended to replace traditional medicine or hospitals, but we believe that it would notably improve the survival rate of patients in cases where blood loss is a major concern, such as the wounds that a soldier could suffer during a battle"
"We are sure that it could even obtain the interest of several governments and obtain military contracts from several countries with them"
"Now, despite how ambitious our goals are, in the documents you can see a bit of the engineering behind in addition to the processes by which we believe we can achieve it."
"The only thing we need to start something at this level is serious funding from people like you, people with ambition and commitment, people who are willing to take care of the land for several years so that when the day is to plant and reap the harvest be abundant and quantitative"
"That and also" the man who until this moment had spoken with serious conviction and like a lion stalking his prey suddenly broke his voice and was not much nervous about what he had started with.
"We want to use a small, tiny part of this money to try to develop a little passion and part of the initial idea that started all this"
"A small fraction of the money we would use for research on dragons"
"I know it sounds a bit off-topic, but strangely enough, several of the new technologies we propose have been derived from it"
"In addition, we protect it as something completely secondary or tertiary even if our company does not perform as planned"

The huge man seemed to be very unhappy with what he was saying, he reminded me a bit of my darling when I try to tease him a bit at school. But he would get past how silly it sounded and how he tried to downplay it. That dragons are not a threat of a level never seen before? Although I have never seen them, my husband swore that they existed and almost destroyed the earth, so I believe in him with all my conviction. In addition, the crystal that he has in his hair is without a doubt a fearsome artifact without a doubt, and that can serve as proof that he passed. In addition to the girl's body that he uses now. But why does this Mr. Damien think they are worth investigating and how does he start doing it now that they are extinct?

"what my wife's enthusiasm means is that a slight part of us would like to discover more about them if possible." He said looking worried to his left into the void.
"But we take our initial propositions very seriously"
"In addition to that, we believe that they will be very beneficial both for a sustainable future and monetarily for us."
"So we think it is a great opportunity."
"Thank you"

....

....

"And  well, what did you think?"

"It seemed to be a fairly correct and well-done presentation"
"But I think I have to ask the obvious"
"What do dragons have to do with all this?"

"Well that has honestly been the most contained question that we have received"
"Actually we have hardly ever had the opportunity to finish our presentation when they hear that part"
"The few times they let us continue they called us crazy and took us to the door when we finished"
"Regarding the question"
"Well my wife wants to be as honest as possible"
"The main reason she became a researcher was because of her passion for magical creatures"
"Dragons in particular, so she thought maybe modifying the DNA of some reptile could do something similar to one"
"Over time more ideas came to her mind"
...
...
...
...
He is looking to the left again, his gaze is always at the same height, about one meter and seventy centimeters from the ground, he has a worried look, but his smile shows that he is enjoying it. I have the impression that maybe this is the part where this Mrs. Raven would be talking now that he is quiet.
...
...
...
...
"Sorry about how she behaves"
"But as you can see, she is very passionate about her research"
"Despite being a genius, she will never let go of her passion for dragons"
"That is why we decided that if we carried out this project of creating our own company we would not lie about that part"
"In this way, we would not lie to our collaborators and earn their trust"
"But for now we have only earned ridicule and threats from other scientists and businessmen to whom we have been asking for help"
"In any case, we are determined that we will continue our goals forward despite setbacks"

He collected and checked his documents one more time and put them all in his briefcase, after that he saw the void again for a moment and then he quickly saw his scared watch, then he spoke to me immediately.

"You are right Rose"
"Give me a moment to say goodbye to her"
"I'm very sorry that we have to go this way but it is time for our reunion, so we must leave immediately"
"Bye now"

"Bye"
"And have luck with the reunion" I replied as he climbed some stairs to the upper floor

I followed him a bit from a distance but he only entered a room where there was no one in it except him and he spoke again exactly what he had told me before. Then when he finished he just sat on the chair while he glanced to the left or right. I think this part is where for sure his wife was talking trying to convert those other people. For my part, I felt bad to see the poor man alone in that room acting as if there were more people, but only he is there. Seeing that he most likely believes that this is a dream I don't want to talk to him much to prevent him from realizing what is happening in reality. Seeing that it seemed that I was not going to get new information that would help me with what happened tonight and that it would be better to tell Cesar about this since he has more information on the subject than I do, I decided better to go back and wait for him to come back. 

It took me a while to return to the castle but when I returned the party was at its best moment, everyone was gathered in the main hall watching a live magic show, I thought it would be interesting to look at a current magician from the modern Earth, but it turned out to be an only mirage or quick-handed tricks, nothing that would involve real magic, it was just one person doing a show, although it was quite entertaining to see him pretend he had done the trick wrong just to do something completely opposite and make a great best trick. Maria was in the front row watching carefully what the man was doing with all possible details, trying to find out how they really worked. Seeing that it seemed now that everything was up to me to figure this out, I decided to look around the castle once more in case I had missed something.  But I couldn't find anything between the decorated halls and the corridors full of statues and armor. I went through the kitchen but I found Adelis cooking various dishes in an agitated way and putting them in a cart and then taking them somewhere. There was no one in the front room now, after that I approached the tower near the entrance, but the door was closed. But trying to open it using magic, I suddenly heard how a car approached at full speed honking the horn. The car that was coming at high speed passed the stone bridge and when it reached the small square it braked with such violence that its passengers almost flew out of the front glass. In the coming my father-in-law was driving, who got out immediately and opened the passenger door, from which two twin girls got out, no, wait, they are not human either. I can detect a strange great presence of very strange magic coming from them, but as soon as they saw me they were sad for some reason. They were still getting off when Rafael, without seeing me seen, yelled at me as he enters the car to try to download something.

"Tamamo!"
"You have to help him"
"He's bleeding a lot and we need to treat him now!"

"It can't be, Cesar!" I ran as fast as I could into the car so I could look

"He was injured during the return"
"He fell from a great height and also hurt his head"
"But the only wound is definitely the gunshot wound, we have to deal with that now" He said while making another bandage with a piece of cloth

Inside was she, she was unconscious and with a wound in the abdomen, she did not have her shirt on and she had an improvised bandage with her on the wound, on the ground I could see how there were several other bloody gauzes, seeing how they had tried to stop the He was bleeding with what they had on hand. I quickly moved to his side and checked his pulse. Strange as it seemed, it was quite high for the time it had the wound based on the loss of blood. But anyway without wasting time I started using healing magic.

"Do you know how he is?"
"Could he recover?"
"His mother will kill me if something happens to him while I was taking care of him!" asked his scared father 

Although my magic could heal a person quite a bit, it was not a replacement for conventional medicine, much less a rival for what angels in heaven can do. My magic was much closer to what I could say to first aid, trying to stabilize a patient and then be able to treat him properly. But for some reason, my magic was having a much greater and more accelerated effect that even took me by surprise.

"I think I can do it"
"If he continues to heal at this rate it could be that he even regains consciousness shortly"
"But I must warn that I do not know what is happening with him and why he is healing at the rate at which he does."
"I am not able to do something like that."
"It's as if he's being treated by a medical team from Heaven."

"So is that good?"

"Are good news"
"The best that I could give in this situation, really"
"I'm going to stay here watching him and healing until he wakes up"
"You look for clothes for him and also something to warm him"
"The loss of blood causes his body to drop in temperature"

"All right"
"In a briefcase is the white clothes with which he came to the party"
"I'm going to find something for the cold immediately"
"You two, stay here and don't move,  until new notice" Rafael said to the two girls who were now outside the car.

Despite the questions they had about who those two could be, he had something much more important to attend to right now. I put the head of my love between my laps and took his hand, focused deeply on healing him as best as possible. It will take a moment for him to recover, but he also wants him to know that I am here with him supporting him. Just like I promised, I stayed with him.
