I am taking up some creativity exercises that I had done weeks ago. At that moment, I let chance take me to choose words in a random generator and with those words I would search for a photo that was in a free online service, but this time, I came across a series of short stories and various written that I wrote some years ago and that I have not shared in English, so I thought about translating and publishing them.
Task 1: Separate the parties from the diverse reality for the constitution of similar groups and achieve analysis or synthesis.
Task 2: Achieve power without fighting, combat mastery in successfully conquering objectives without potential opponents even knowing what is being done.
Task 3: Cross the impossible on the wings of an ally who provides information from a new angle of vision, listen and learn from the advice and experience of others.
Task 4: Set priorities and learn to refuse when the intention is not to deviate from the planned route.
Task 1: Selecting do's and don'ts
Good has made my lord.
You should control your vassal tongue more, I can consider that you do not need it inside your mouth if you bother me too much.
You know that inside or outside my mouth, my whole being is at your service.
If it were not like that, you would not continue to be by my side.
Although I warned you that this idea of starting down the path where all others of your kind have failed is not sensible.
It is not sensible, but it is what my opponents do not expect, they believe that they will find me on my site, within the limits of my domains for when they return, but it will not be like that.
You can lose everything for this adventure.
And I can win it all too.
I think that if this is seriously proposed we should have had more assistants.
Are you afraid you can't help me by yourself?
I perceive a certain amusement in your tone of voice, I really don't think my lord is of much use to you, even so, I will do what is necessary to serve you.
Let's stop here.
This is the entrance of the hatch of the… nigroticos.
I hope it doesn't scare you.
If they scare me a lot, they summon the spirits of their ancestors.
There are no nigroticos for a long time, the spirits have not been called or summoned at a certain time.
By the tone of my Lord's voice, I don't think that makes him happy.
I'm not happy and to a certain extent if it does. You see, if they existed they would be formidable opponents and I could learn a couple of new tricks from them if I were to get out of their combat alive, and they could also teach me how to summon their forces. Taking the case that they are not, I do not worry about getting hurt by them although I will not have anyone to guide me in the call.
Announcement!
You won't think I'm going to make the trip without some kind of reinforcement or help.
Are you going to use the spirits as your personal guard?
It's a very good idea, they never sleep, they don't get tired and they can't die.
They are not obedient or submissive, they do not give up easily to anyone.
That's why I want them on my side.
Sir, I tell you that they bow their essence to no one, that includes you.
They will do it.
Your security makes me nervous.
Well, worse your nerves will become a vassal, it is almost completely dawn, we will enter the cavern as soon as the sun is visible.
It's already like that sir, but I would like you to think better of it before going in there.
Come with me.
I was afraid you wouldn't listen to me.
Stop complaining, spirits don't like to go out during the day.
They can do it despite the sun.
They do not like being in the light very much, they should have a good reason, also this cave has a spell to prevent this, they can only act at night.
So if we finish what you are going to do before the sun goes down, we can get out of here alive.
I don't know if we can finish on time.
Please, my Lord, don't scare me anymore, what is this?
What is on the floor of the cave looks like piles of stones.
Master, the entrance has been closed!
I was expecting it, it is another of the spells of this site.
My lord, if we don't go out they will kill us.
Not if I can solve the riddle of the other part of what I found in the palace library.
That thing is?
My ancestors had various memosteries at their service.
Yes Sir, they are people in charge of recording the memories of travelers and minstrels. They are very useful and helpful for the interrogation of prisoners as well.
Well, in the records I found the location of the cave and the reference to a riddle in it that gave the possibility of controlling the nigroticos that inhabited it.
But there are stones of all kinds and colors on this floor, how will we know which ones to take and in what order?
We will have to try them and quickly vassal, the sun will not last forever.
The work of the vassal and his master began, but as time progressed, no progress was noted in the task.
Sir, we don't seem to have any idea how to solve this.
It is assumed that if it is assembled correctly and each stone is in its place, the nigroticos are forced to present themselves.
Well, they will appear shortly and I doubt that with good intentions, there is hardly any light left outside.
There must be something that I have not considered, I have to think fast.
My Lord must have considered that this would not be like the infantile games that I shared with him in his childhood.
How?
Don't take it the wrong way my Lord, but this is more complicated than ...
Children's games, that is, I have tried to think only in complicated sequences of size, color combinations, and mathematical progressions, when it may be as simple as a child's game after all the nigroticos were not a people of academics, but of warriors more given to brute action. Place the stones according to their color in the different receptacle points of the cavern, we have to hurry before the light ends.
Running for their lives, master and vassal, they took the stones that they had placed in the receptacles, they worked desperately under the pressure of time and the certainty that if they did not finish, they would die.
Mr! Take the last stone, goes on your side
Throw it at me and step inside the center circle! There is no light left.
Ready.
I got it.
Lord, the shadows are already appearing!
I have it in place, ready. Make room for me in that circle.
Who dares to desecrate our place of being?
Sir, that voice is terrifying.
It was me.
You dare to enter and recognize your fault.
I came for a purpose.
Well, you won't be able to leave here.
I think so.
The riddle of rock… you have solved it.
Sir, that other voice sounds different.
Quiet vassal, they are more of a nigrotico.
We are thousands, millions, billions of ancestors of the race of the nigroticos. We see that they have indeed solved the riddle of rock.
Does that give us the freedom to go and summon you later?
Only those of our race can call us and be sure of help, arrogant boy
And only those of this race can put together the riddle, incredulous ancestor.
You are not nigrotico, we can smell it in your blood.
Sir, I think the exercise does not end as planned.
Quiet vassal, I was expecting this and I have an alternate plan.
Boy, you have plans of what to do in case we decide to kill you for your arrogance, you really believe that with your few years you can face creatures that have hundreds of existences.
I do not intend to confront the ancestors.
Are you going to beat us without facing us? We have to see that.
It is not combat, only to apply logic and analyze the current situation in which they are.
Logic?
My lord, I do not believe that black warriors are given to philosophical reflection.
What do you know, vassal, of the ancient warriors nigroticos? Don't underestimate us, go on boy.
They have been here since their deaths and it has been many years since they have been summoned for any combat.
We know, ours have already died and the traditions that summon us have lost their continuity.
I offer you new battles, new adventures.
In exchange for us to follow you, right?
So is.
You really are arrogant, I think you amuse us.
Would you rather have fun with me or stay in the cavern until the last piece of rock on this planet cools and dies at the end of time?
You know it too?
Only if they are summoned and after their mission has been completed, are they offered the freedom to go wherever they want, only in that case can they be free.
Can you offer it to us?
Yes, you can smell in my body that I am not lying to you, I swear by my blood that when I finish the tasks to which I am subjected I will release you and you will be able to go where your wishes lead you.
A logical offer.
My Lord, I think the nigroticos is amused by your offer.
Quiet vassal, do not leave the circle yet, fear clouds your reasoning, but the black warrior ancestors do not suffer that limitation, they know that they can be free and that I am sincere.
We will follow you, arrogant boy, if you deceive us we will attack you and we will disappear your body, being condemned to be one of us and to exist as a specter until the end of time.
My lord, they have accepted it!
Did you doubt?
Yes, my Lord, I thought we would die here.
Mortal of little faith in the intelligence of your Master, we recommend that you trust more in our Lord in the future.
Vasallo, Necrotic Spirits, let's go outside, nightfall and I must set up camp, tomorrow before dawn I must return to the road.
Does our lord follow the path of power? It is risky, but we understand better now why he called us so boldly, he needs us.
We could go out now, my lord must rest.
Stop bothering with your vassal fear, look with your own eyes, we have opened the entrance to the cavern and you have before you the seal of the spell that closes it, break it if you like.
Immediately, spirits.
Our Lord does not need to camp outside, as it will be our last night together in the cave, we humbly offer him our hospitality, following the rules of courtesy with travelers.
That old rule ... I'm glad it's remembered, I suspect that outside the cold is not a good companion for a traveler tired of a day carrying stones and thinking about riddles of existence in which life is at stake.
Your smile, Our Lord, tells us that you really are having fun.
