An Ahuizotl Father

In the territory of the ogres

After advancing for a few hours, they came to a hut where they rested to be able to advance the last plot during the morning.

When the Ahuizotl dawned, he stretched his legs and looked fondly at his daughter as he used his magic to clean her.

Little Diana opened her eyes and laughed when she saw her father, so she reached out her small hand to touch his nose.

The Ahuizotl at that moment looked at her with affection and caressed her small face before taking a plant of milk and giving it to her.

Little Diana took it with her two hands and began to drink calmly, the Ahuizotl simply looked at her with affection while stroking her hair.

After a while of eating, little Diana got full, so she dropped the milk plant and waited for her father to pat her on the back.

The Ahuizotl lovingly carried his daughter on her back and patted her so that she could expel the air into her stomach.

Dragan, who was looking at everything, just sighed. “It’s quite interesting how you take care of your daughter. You know if my father would have been like you.

My life would have been completely different from what it was, but no one chose parents.

But let’s stop talking about my past. You can take your time to take care of your baby. I’ll be waiting for you outside. “

Dragan rose from the ground and left the hut, where he gazed at the sun through the trees.

‘What will have happened to your life, father ...’

After bathing little Diana the Ahuizotl left the room and looked at Dragan, who was sitting on a rock looking at the sky.

“You know Ahuizotl, I was thinking about some things from childhood, but I think you will be the best father I have ever met.

Take good care of little Diana. I’m sure the girl will enjoy these moments and those in the future.

But let’s get out of this place that the border is a few minutes away. “

Dragan got up and started walking. “One of the reasons ogres don’t enter our forest is mainly because there is a barrier.

Created by the mother forest to guarantee that no one will interfere in the territory of the other. “

After walking for a few minutes, they reached the border, which was marked by a line on the ground.

Dragan pointed to the line on the ground. “Beyond that line is ogre territory. Be very careful with them.

Well, they have preferences for human flesh, so they may fight against you in order to take your daughter from you. “

The Ahuizotl looked at Dragan. “Thanks for everything Dragan. I hope you can create a safe path to the oasis.

I hope that one day our paths can come together again. “

After this the Ahuizotl began to walk towards the border where once he crossed it he could feel some glances towards where he was.

The Ahuizotl got big and began to walk because he was prepared to be able to defend his daughter if someone tried to take her away.

After advancing for a while through the bushes, footsteps began to be heard and suddenly an ogre came out, wearing a piece of leather as clothing.

In his gigantic hand, he had a wooden mallet. The ogre looked at the Ahuizotl “You are a curious creature, why do you have a human baby on your back.”

The Ahuizotl looked at the ogre seriously “She is my daughter, we are just passing through so we can go to the human city.

So we won’t be staying in this place for long. “

The ogre shook his head to the side “But why do you have to take care of a human baby, if she is not of the same species?”

The Ahuizotl sighed “Why is it what a father does? Remember that the father is not the one who begets, he is the one who cares and protects.

You must have had a father. “

The ogre just hung his head. “Ogre's father was never with me, eating all my brothers one day.

Only surviving because I am too small to be food for my father.

That day I understood that life is hard and that I also had to eat my children. At first I did not want to.

But when I taste tender meat, I understand why father was an intelligent person who knew how to choose his food.

You also duty to taste your daughter’s meat, possibly it is soft and tender, she may even taste it. “

The Ahuizotl shook his head “My daughter is an important part of my life, she cannot suffer an act as brutal as that.

I prefer to die before allowing her to suffer that fate; she is the most valuable thing in my life, so I must take care of her at all times. 

That is what a good father does. If you want to be a bad father and eat your children, you are free to do so, but my baby will not be eaten.

She is my greatest treasure. “

The ogre scratched his head. “You lose the taste of human flesh, but be careful when you advance. I am a very calm ogre.

But other ogres are more savage than me, they suffer head problems from not eating.

Be very careful little one and I promise not to eat baby ogre, so that I can be a father like you. “

After this, the ogre turned around and began his way back to his house.

The Ahuizotl only sighed and prepared his shadow magic because he did not think to risk with his little daughter on his back.

When he entered the flow of shadows, he began to advance quickly, but soon after he could see a great ogre which was eating the corpse of another ogre.

The ogre simply opened his eyes and looked towards the remains of a tree because he could feel a look, but when he didn’t see anything he just kept filling his mouth with meat and guts.

The Ahuizotl watched as the blood came out of the ogre’s mouth so he only shook his head and continued advancing because he did not want his daughter to see the horrible scene.

Because you might have nightmares about how awful it would have been
