00:00Children of Atlantis. Werewolves in the Andes Creepypasta 81. Confessions of a Witch in Love.
00:08Drex walked purposefully through the village of the moon, passing between the still empty stalls.
00:13While the scent of shamanic incense hung thick in the air. In the distance, on the borders
00:20Sacred, the purge squads pitched their tents without disturbing the spiritual aura of the place.
00:26But he wasn't there for the sake of ceremony. His keen, relentless sense of smell was tracking the scent of
00:32Maria felt a tension that was palpable even in her temples. She had just spoken with Fabián. And something
00:39It didn't add up. The priest, his voice breaking, had confessed that he had been visited for several nights.
00:45in dreams by a demon. A seductive female entity, impossible to look at without desire.
00:53It drained him until he was empty, body and soul. Although Fabián didn't say it openly,
00:59Drex understood perfectly. It was Maria. He knew her too well. He knew what she was.
01:05capable of doing it. And he knew, with the same instinct with which he tracks his prey, that he was
01:11avoiding. Using her powers to stay out of his reach. He found her on the edge of
01:17bordering the interior forests, opposite a light adobe building with a palm roof.
01:23She stood gazing at the horizon as if she wanted to escape the world. Her dark hair
01:30It barely fluttered in the breeze, and her fingers gripped the shawl tightly, as if she were clinging to the last of it.
01:35thread of sanity. Behind her, the orichalcums unloaded weapons, sensors, and armored crates.
01:43Drex didn't say anything at first. He just approached and stood beside her, in silence.
01:49The air was so thick it hurt to breathe. Do you know that Fabián is in the office with Tatiana?
01:55She finally murmured, her voice barely contained. Maria didn't turn around. She just took a deep breath. And in that sigh
02:03There was fear, sorrow, and a knot of guilt that he couldn't swallow.
02:07"I don't know what you're talking about, Drex," she whispered, trying to maintain a composure that no longer belonged to her.
02:15Fabián confessed to me that a succubus visits him every night, Drex said, with a heavy calm.
02:20from tension. He doesn't remember the details well, but he wakes up exhausted, drained. He says he feels
02:27Something was invading him from within, as if his soul were being eaten away.
02:31What do you think it is? Maria turned slowly. Her face, which so often had been the symbol
02:38Once unshakeable in her serenity, she was now a shattered mirror. Her mouth was pressed tight. Her eyes
02:45Red. And shame trickling down his back like cold sweat. Drex, he's not a sugar cube.
02:52Her voice cracked like glass in the dark. We both know what it is. He held her with
02:59Her gaze. She didn't say anything at first. But the trembling in her pupils betrayed her disappointment.
03:05that burned in his chest. I thought that cursed ritual was behind me, he said,
03:10Now without restraint. Did you also destroy Fabián's mind? She shuddered. Not because
03:17The words. But because she had already said them inside her head, over and over again. Because
03:23He had already heard his own condemnation before Drex pronounced it. No, Drex. He is
03:30Okay, I swear. His voice trembled, broken, like a wounded animal. I wanted to talk to him. I tried
03:38I really can't resist. But when he looks at me... I can't imagine a world where he walks away.
03:44Where he tells me he must remain pure. That he can't. That I am not what he is looking for.
03:49"How long have you been doing this, Maria?" Drex interrupted, his gaze like a knife.
03:56"I don't know, Drex," she cried, as if saying it made it less true. But she lowered her face.
04:03Immediately. It wasn't like with Sebastián. It wasn't the same. Fabián does love me. I only had
04:11Drex clenched his jaw. Sebastian, that young man broken by mental manipulation,
04:17with memories forcibly erased. The imposed love she never asked for. The one to whom
04:23He himself had to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Bogotá, trembling and stammering.
04:28Unable to meet your gaze. If you know she has feelings for you, why put her through the motions?
04:35Do you want to drag him down with you? To the same hell where you left Sebastian? Drex asked with a
04:41This reality even caused the temperature to drop. The name fell like a curse.
04:47Maria collapsed instantly. Her legs gave way and mud stuck to her skin. She screamed,
04:54But her scream was muffled by the hands with which she covered her face. Her whole body was shaking,
05:00as if his soul were being torn apart in real time.
05:04I know. I know. I'm a monster. He wept between agonized sobs. I'm weak, Drex. I'm horrible.
05:13But I can't stop it. When I feel him near, when he looks at me. It's as if everything I've learned,
05:20All the pain from before disappeared. And only I remained, empty. Trying to fill that void with
05:27Crumbs of stolen affection. I wish I could be with him the way you are with Tati.
05:33Drex crouched down in front of her. There was no hatred in his eyes. But there was a sadness so brutal that it
05:40It felt like a stone in my chest. You have to break this cycle. You can't keep destroying yourself.
05:46minds just to feel loved. Her tone was firm, but each word was like a bandage being ripped off.
05:52from an infected wound. Maria barely nodded. The ground beneath her knees was stained with water.
05:59from her crying. Her face was swollen, her nails dug into her thighs, her whole body trembling
06:06because it contained years of pain that she had never dared to face.
06:10I will. I promise, she whispered, like a broken child, without strength, without faith. As if she hadn't promised it to
06:19Drex, but in the shadow of what he once was. I'll be watching. Drex and María's communicators
06:26They rang at the same time, interrupting the conversation without giving them time to finish it.
06:31Maria, come to my office. Tatiana ordered with that cutting coldness that characterized her.
06:38Drex, I'll wait for you too. They looked at each other for a moment. They knew that this unfinished dialogue
06:44It still hovered between them, like a barely contained storm. Later they would have to face it.
06:51Without saying a word, they walked through the silent streets of the village of the moon,
06:57surrounded by stone walls and spirits that seemed to be listening. Upon reaching the outskirts,
07:03where the tactical orichalcum tents were deployed like an organized swarm,
07:07They found a peculiar scene in front of Tatiana's office. Next to Fabián and Julián was a face
07:14New, a man in a black cassock with a distrustful expression. Beside him, Lia, Oscar, and Tatiana.
07:21They were analyzing a report with tense faces. Ah, Drex. Maria, Bambert Token said when he saw them arrive,
07:29without regard for the emotional weight they carried. The translator has arrived. With him,
07:35We began the next phase of the purge. Maria remained motionless. She felt their eyes upon her.
07:41like knives. She couldn't look Fabián in the eye. She knew her sister was furious.
07:47And Drex. Drex had made it clear that he wouldn't tolerate another betrayal. All he could do was listen.
07:54Our worst fears have been confirmed, the archcount continued. Ragnarok and the aftermath of death
08:00Silver scientists accessed information from the lunar disk. They have data on the routes to Paititi.
08:07The lost city. As Archcount of the Purge, my duty is clear. Exterminate the separatists and
08:13To protect the secrets of our kingdoms. Their eyes met with unease. No one spoke.
08:20They said it out loud, but everyone was thinking it. Bambert Token wasn't improvising. This phase had been planned.
08:27For a long time. What should have been a military response felt more like the inevitable outcome.
08:33of a long and silent plan. Even Master Saint Julian seemed uneasy, caught up in something that
08:40I didn't quite understand. Master Pizarro, I hope your journey was comfortable, Bambert Token said with
08:47A slight bow of the head. It was, Archcount. I am here to do my duty, nothing more.
08:55Pizarro replied in a firm voice, making no attempt to conceal his distance. Bambert Token smiled, not letting himself be intimidated.
09:02to be affected by the coldness of your interlocutor. That's all we ask, maestro. Welcome to the
09:09Purge. Tatiana, Drex. Come with me. I'd like to speak with Kaulis Plex before we proceed with the next step.
09:16The archcount, flanked by Master Pizarro, Tatiana, and Drex, advanced with a firm step.
09:23through the heart of the village. Her figure, completely covered to withstand the daylight, was so
09:30Striking and terrifying. Her black overcoat, ankle-length, was embroidered with Sumerian reliefs.
09:37In gold thread, cuneiform inscriptions dedicated to the god Enlil, combined with symbols of the ancient
09:44Kingdom of Mu, fractal spirals and marine crosses. He wore gloves of black eel leather, tanned
09:51according to arcane rituals, with inlays of red orichalcum that imitated the tablets of
09:56Sigurat of Ur. His ceremonial boots and thick linen trousers were adorned with traces of coral.
10:02White, evoking the sunken temple of Makaru. His entire body was protected by an umbrella.
10:09of black silk reinforced with thin sheets of murico onyx, inscribed with solar spells that
10:14They only activated under direct sunlight. Drex, I've been told you spoke with Kaulis Plex last night.
10:21Bamber Token commented without looking at him, as they continued walking.
10:25Yes, I did, Drex replied in a restrained tone.
