When two worlds meet. Beginnings.

“Holy fuck, that was close,” said Julio while sweating and panting.

The group had finally gotten out of that God awful place, and they where exhausted. They ran continuously for fifteen minutes without a break, and they ran fast. They now where at the other side of the farm, and they stopped to take a breath. They were in a fairly rocky, medieval looking road that stretched quite far.

Gabriel gave a short chuckle. “Felipe, you’re a god damn hero. Chucking your phone to drive of that stupid dog was amazing!”

“Nah, it wasn’t that cool,” said Felipe while scratching his head. “That was an old phone anyways. It would break any day by now.”

Hugo playfully punched Felipe’s shoulder with a smirk. “Don’t be so humble. That mutt would’ve caught us if it wasn’t for you! And did you have to pick the goddamn nokia song?”

“It was the first one that popped up! And I couldn’t be picky with which song I chose,” exclaimed Felipe.

“Let’s get back to the point,” mentioned Sebastián. “Where are we?”

“It seems like we are in some sort of road”, Alfredo pointed out. “But it looks like it is not meant for the travel of vehicles.”

“Guys, I think we all see a pattern here. Everything here is fucking medieval, so let’s try to no point out every single thing that looks that it was made with child slavery,” replied Samuel.

Alfredo smiled sheepishly. “I guess you are right. But the only thing we can do now is go down that road, so do we get moving?”

“Lets do that,” concluded Julio with excitement, and almost all of the group got on the way.

“Hey Hugo, is something wrong,” asked Felipe worried at the boy who was apparently glaring at something.

They group stopped at their tracks. Hugo was intensely looking over the apple acre at a barely noticeable weird shape between the mountains, but was too far to be identifiable thanks to the sunset and clouds.

“Nothing man. It’s just that I thought I saw something moving between the clouds. Probably just the wind,” answered Hugo.

“If you have any problems, just tell us. We are always here for you,” said Sebastián with a sweet tone.

“Thanks,” smiled Hugo. “And what was that gay ass tone? Like, get that gay shit outta here.”

“Fuck off man,” said Sebastián, and he proceeded to punch Hugo in the shoulder harshly. The group laughed it off, and they went on their merry way.

The boys had been walking for hours, and the exhaustion was starting to kick in. The run from earlier plus all the walking they were doing meant that, although they’ve been walking for a long time, meant that they didn’t got too far. But it was clear that they made progress. The terrain around them morphed radically. It seemed like a rocky wasteland, with the very ground having prominent cracks, and an arid surrounding that was not friendly at all. It sucked harder than a cheap whore.

“Can we- give me a moment,” said Alfredo between pants. He sat on the ground and took some deep breaths for what was he gonna ask next. “C-Can we rest for a bit?”

“I-I mean, I’m down for it. But if we keep this up, we’ll all get super buff,” added Gabriel, and he sat down next to Alfredo.

Samuels glasses were very foggy, and he had to clean the constantly while walking. He straight up lied down on the dusty ground and relaxed. “Yeah, that’d be a good idea. I’m also starving! I can’t be the only one.”

The general consensus was that of agreement, and everyone voted if they should stay or go. They all unanimously voted to stay.

“So, we all agree. Leisure time it is then,” Hugo happily exclaimed, and he started to take out food from the grab that he had temporarily acquired from the pony he already had forgotten the name of.

They all sat down together, and watched the sunset. It really was beautiful. The sky was a pleasant orange, with the sun itself peeking out of the mountains in the horizon with a yellow glow, and the clouds were low to the ground, adding more to the scenery that was before the group. It wasn’t cold yet, but it was get chillier by the second, so they would have to bundle up together. But that didn’t matter at the moment, and it was just comfortably quiet, without the need to fill the silence with words, unlike Americans, who apparently had the need to speak all the time or else it would get ‘uncomfortable’. Really, there was no sound at all. No chirping birds, no random rabbit or a fucking snake or two that had scared the shit out of them while on the road. It was a graveyard. Silent. Nothing.

It was very creepy, and they all were looking at each other with worry. The all stopped eating their food and started to pay attention to their surroundings. They had all got in the same spot near a ‘cliff’ to watch the sunset. It really wasn’t a cliff, it was only two meters tall from the ground, and it curved in a way that made it so if you fell down, you could take five steps to either side and you would be back to the edge. Nobody was keeping watch, and they all really just plopped down right then and there hanging their legs on the edge.

A scrambling sound was heard behind them. That was all that was heard, plus a few rocks trickling through the ground. The sky had lost the orange coloration it had, favoring a light reddish tinge that didn’t look as friendly anymore. It had gotten a lot darker, and there were things moving in the dark, menacingly growling at the nervous group.

Felipe turned his head around. He saw a pair row of teeth growling and salivating towards his group, with its body shrouded in darkness, having only it’s face visible and teeth visible to the terrified teenager. He started shaking in fear, and he tried to tell the group.

“G-Gu-G-Guy-s,” stammered out Felipe.

“Yes Felipe,” asked Hugo with a really calm tone, but his forced smile, frantic eyes and twitchy body suggested otherwise.

Felipe pointed shakily at the figure who was getting closer along the darkness. “L-Loo-k.”

The group slowly turned their heads around, and what they saw shook them to the core. The figure had stepped into view.

It had an ugly face with thick, protruding teeth of a yellowish coloration, and floppy ears that faced forward. It also had really short legs with tiny, useless claws that weren’t sharp at all. It also had a really long back, that was slightly curved toward the front. At first, the most to one might be the dangerous teeth meant to maul flesh, but even more surprisingly were the long, powerful arms that had four fingers with blunt claws meant for digging instead of clawing at the end. Overall, it was one ugly motherfucker, and it didn’t seem open for negotiations.

Another two figures came out of the shadows. They were the same species, only with different fur color, and more or less the same height, except one had what seemed metal brass knuckles that where more like randomly picked up pieces of metal shaped to fit whoever’s owners hand. Basically a slab of metal turned into brass knuckles.

“Sorry I called your daughter a mutt,” blurted out Hugo quickly.

The creatures stopped in their tracks with questioning looks on their faces, but they inmediatly kept on their advance with smiles full with teeth.

“I think I just shit myself,” informed Gabriel.

“Fuck,” was all that Samuel said.
