37: Do not forget!

Do not forget!

"Wh...who.." Alfonso was so stunned that he couldn't complete the phrase.2

"I….. Don't have a specific form….. or name.... For years people have called me by different names…. Atropos…Cloto…..Laquesis….. etc... all in all, I am just a bystander" Said figure, curiously the voice of Artemis that Alfonso heard before wasn't there, now, it was a mix between a man and a woman, furthermore, Alfonso couldn't tell the age, if he didn't see the form of Artemis, he wouldn't be able if this voice was human or not!

"Wait a minute! Cloto….. Laquesis….. Atropos…. Where have I heard those names before!?" Thought Alfonso.

"I…. don't have much time…..Alfonso Lockheart….. you are a new variable that it wasn't in my calculations before.... I warmed Primordius about this….. but she didn't listen...….. She never listens" Said "Artemis"

"Primordius.... Who-"

"You don't need to know.... However, what you need to know is this...… No matter what you do….. No matter the circumstances...do not trust the gods….. nor the ones that are here…. Or the ones that you have brought to this world…" Said the voice.

"She… she knows about the system!" Though Alfonso.

"... I don't understand! " Said Alfonso.

Before "Artemis" could say anything else, she looked a little absent-minded and then made a long sigh.

"She already caught me ... its seems..... That my time is over...…" Murmured "Artemis".

"Artemis" looked behind her, Alfonso follow her gaze, but he didn't see anything there.

"Alfonso….. you must not forget... you have to remember!" Said "Artemis" while lifting her hand and pushing hard towards Alfonso's chest, Alfonso saw that the hand passed his skin and felt the hand grabbing something.

His heart.

"What are you doing…." Said Alfonso who has never felt so afraid on his life like now.

"Artemis" grabbed his heart and began to tighten it.

"Do…..not...forget!" Said "Artemis".

*Crush*

A small crushing sound could be heard in the quiet night.

.........….

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Alfonso shouted like never before.

"Ha….ha…ha…..ha" Alfonso was out of breath, he rapidly sat down on his bed, he looked one side to the other, but he couldn't see anything.

"What…. What happened….. I remember that Artemis was.....hmmm?.... wait…..Artemis?...no that isn't it....she told me.....?...someone told me something…?" Alfonso though that he was forgetting something, but he didn't know what was it.

"Ouch, what?" Suddenly, Alfonso felt a small pain on his chest.

He unbuttoned his pajama and saw a small hand mark on the left side of his chest. He instantly became pale.

"What the hell is this?" Thought Alfonso.

............…..

[At the same time]

[In a place who anyone knew about]

"Artemis" was sitting in a chair surrounded by darkness, the only thing that it could be heard was the ticking of a clock.

"Primordius.... I don't know what are you playing at...…..but you are playing with something you shouldn't..." Said Artemis.

A figure could be seen in the shadows, it couldn't be determinate if the figure was a woman or a man, however, what it could be distinguished in the darkness was a pair of large-red eyes and a playful smile.

"....." The figure seems to move his/her mouth, but nothing could be distinguished, however, "Artemis" seems to understand.

"!?...Primordius!... are you planning to...!" Said "Artemis" while her face became ugly.

"....."

The figure said something else and then chains began to appear behind "Artemis", the chains lock Artemis limbs.

"Primordius….. Don't do it!" Shout "Artemis", however, all she could saw was the smile of the figure growing wider and wider.

"PRIMORDIUS!!" Shout "Artemis" before been complete drag by the darkness.

............…..

At the next day, Alfonso woke up as usual.

"Strange…. Did I have some weird dream yesterday?" Thought Alfonso.

However, he didn't give much of a thought and began to dress. When he took out his pajamas, he saw a small mark on the left side of his chest. It was a hand-size mark.

"Weird…. What is th-"

DO NOT FORGET!

Before could conclude his thoughts, a phrase come to his head.

"Forget….. Forget about what?" Though Alfonso.

He thought and thought, but nothing came to his head, so push back to his mind. The strange thing was that, every time he looked at his chest, the same words came to his head.

DO NOT FORGET!

.........…..

Alfonso came to the main hall, Artemis had already left to her usual hunting duties, Demeter was looking through the window, she was talking to little blue, who when to his "home" yesterday for some reason.

"Alfonso, good morning~" Said Demeter.

"Good morning, Demeter, hello there little blue." Said Alfonso.

Little chirped happily and took its spot on Alfonso's head.

"What are the plans for today?~" Asked Demeter.

"Well, Cerberus should be waking out anytime soon, so we should just-"

*BOOM!*

Before Alfonso could complete his phrase, an exploding sound came from the second floor, Alfonso and Demeter looked at each other for one second before running towards the second floor. When they got there, smoke was rising from Cerberus's room.

"What happened" Though Alfonso.

He and Demeter stood there for some time, but seeing that nothing happened, they slowly walked towards the room, when they got there, they could see the figure of Cerberus through the smoke, however, when the smoke dissipated, and they took a better look of the figure… they find something….. Strange….

""What the fuck is that?"" Thought Alfonso and Demeter at the same time.
