This is a story that few will dare to read. It is about a warrior, strong as steel, who looked like a living mountain.
This is the story: He wanted to look for and destroy evil and for that reason he had great combats and battles. He was never at rest but always attentive and would not show the weariness of the battles.
The day arrived when he was to face evil. He , then, was in front of a sinister darkness and this warrior said in a very fierce way: " Come here, be brave and face me, I will finish you off today. Show your face of vile, damned and disgraced being."
He then, heard a laugh, a terrible laugh, that seemed to come from everywhere, filling every space.
And that warrior said again: " Show yourself oh infernal being!"
The laughing was heard again and then an icy wind came, it was filled with smell of blood that was very intense and repugnant but the warrior was standing firm and shouted again:
"Have the courage of presenting yourself or maybe you are a coward? Tell me, who are you? Tell me what are you?"
He heard a sordid, sickening laughing. Then, the wind became icier and the blood smell was more acid; the laughing turned into crying and the crying in lamenting.It was something terrible since the crying seemed to come from several places, up, down, in front, to the side, to the other side. After a few moments, the laughing and crying became one and it was terrible, immense, nauseous, coming from everywhere.
But the warrior could not be stopped and said: " Tell me who are you? I order, demand you to do it."
That darkness turned into a faint light that shouted, groaned, while one thousand voices were heard there. Then, it transformed into the sound of bones, creaking, bursting, while the ground was shaking and the sudden shine was divided into pieces, many pieces.
Oh, what a terrible scene!
And the voice that was laughing and crying said: " That's fine, that's fine. What an irony! Look around and tell me what you see? "
And the warrior saw dead children looking like dry trees who had by their sides, agonizing mothers with dry arms, tongues, breasts, not able to give anything.
He said again: " Look"
And he saw hundreds of arms, bones, heads, eyes, open chests, exposed internal organs, worms, and foul smelling flies.
And the voice said: " Don't be surprised, you know these, and I also know them, these are the children, mothers, men who died, the ground that turned rotten.These will never see the light because their lives became terrible and they will not be able to fulfill not even one dream.
I will talk now. You asked: What is the evil, where does it live, what does it want? Look, oh warrior, because these are your own works, this is the fruit of your battles, of your violence. They died in your hands. The evil that you reclaim, you know. That evil is you."
