The Guardians Of Desires

Prologue "Everything will be alright, you're a big boy now...Go back and play with the other kids. We'll meet each other again, I promise!" The kid watched him with teary eyes as he was walking away; him, the one person who had been playing with him since forever. The kid ran back towards the rides in the sunny park, where he went back playing with the other children of the neighbourhood, as the memory of his imaginary friend was already fading away slowly. After making his way among the other kids, he could finally get on the slide finally. He didn't waste any second and he started slipping down the slide, pushing as hard as he could.   He didn't even get to slide until the end, when he saw a little blonde girl run sneak away from her mother and run towards his feet. He did not manage to slow down and hit her violently. The little girl lost her balance and hit her head on the concrete edge of the slide. He tried to reach the little girl and make sure that she was okay, but he got unkindly pulled away by her mother, who came at her aid. All of a sudden, a crow of grandparents and mothers gathered around the poor little girl. As he was trying to crawl his away from the adults' legs, he only could only hear that she had fainted. "Somebody call an ambulance!" With that voice fiercely echoing in his ears, fears began assailing him. He ran towards the woods at the rear of the park. Suddenly, everything around him became dark. A cold wind was carrying strange noises. Unknown verses started echoing together with the chattering of the parents in the park. They were coming from behind a group of trees, from which a long shadow was revealing itself. Then, that voice that was propagating from different directions became more and more insistent.   He was reaching out to him more and more, until he had the feeling it was whispering in his ears:   "Damnabilis ies iom, mirdo cavus mirdo, cessa verunt ies iom, mirdo oblivio ement, mors damnabils ies iom, ospes araneus ies iom…" He put his head in his hands to muffle the sound, but it was useless. He dropped to his knees and he closed his eyes...   "Damnabilis ies iom, mirdo cavus mirdo, cessa verunt ies iom, mirdo oblivio ement, mors damnabils ies iom, ospes araneus ies iom…"
