Chapter 785 Only in fate [2/2]
Sadly, the images I saw of how Robyn died in my dreams matched the tales of her suffering from the Mabinogi. I simply couldn't accept such a truth.
I began re
"It was Pwyll and the Mabinogi," I answered trying to calm my nerves.
"Welsh? Interesting. I guess the nature of Linkers would make it easy to establish ties. For me it was The Weeping Woman and Brother Mohán."
'Exa?'
[Both are famous folk stories in Columbia. Brother Mohán or El Mohán is about a legendary creature believed to inhabit rivers and streams, often depicted as a handsome man who lures women to the water, sometimes with tragic consequences.
[The weeping woman or La Llorona is a tale of a beautiful woman who fell in love with a man who betrayed her. In her despair, she drowned her children and now wanders, searching for them.]
'That's…something...'
[Yes, the only resemblance between them is that both are tales about the dangers of wandering near bodies of water. Colombia has many rivers, lakes, and coastal areas which would explain the need for such stories.]
Wanting to understand why Carlos considered these folk stories as his the "look" moment, I asked out of curiosity.
"I am familiar with both. Why did you connect Reapers to them?"
"Because I learned from a Graveyard report that there was a Rogue Shifter from Africa who ran to Columbia around 1840. The Shifter's {fate} turned him into water. He kidnapped women around the area to rape, kill and turn them into Reapers.
"La Llorona was one his victims. The only one who had a regret strong enough to ascend to a Reaper. However, as El Mohán forbade her from returning to Earth, La Llorona used her Champions to drown her children believing they could join her in Hellsgate."
I then remember what Exa just mentioned about La Llorona.
[…In her despair, she drowned her children and now wanders, searching for them.]
"Fuck…" I cursed out loud as Carlos finished dropping a bomb.
"Yeah. El Mohan was terminated by a Specter nearly two centuries after. He was very good in hiding. Without a proper water-based Champion, Summoners couldn't subdue him. Especially in open waters. Funnily enough the report said La Llorona's betrayal was what lead to his death." Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
At his words my mind understood the dynamics of the Reaper Classes. If an African Reaper whose soul form turned him into water fought a Summoner who only had tigers or insects, the former would win.
'I mean, how the fuck could you even hurt water? I thought Soul forms were limited to animals but if they could turn to elements then they had the potential to become extremely powerful!'
The more I heard about Reapers the more I learned that I knew nothing. If Columbian folk tales spoke of the crimes of Rogues, then it was not impossible that America's stories would be the same.
Feeling, I had to learn more about the Reapers Classes, I fixed my seat and pulled out a bucket of chicken, burgers and cans of Miller high Life. If just the information about Keepers was this loaded, what more of the others?
"Carlos, I cannot even begin to describe how much I appreciate your lectures to me right now. I no longer wish to duel you. Please eat to restore your strength. And teach me more."
"Like I said my friend, you have done more for me, so this is nothing. But I am a bit hungry. I see that you have KFC and Mc Donalds I wonder if yours tastes the same from the ones in my country?"
In line with his personality as a rich obnoxious asshole, Herman commented in disgust. "Tsk. Fast food? Don't you have any proper food? Why must we dine on this trash like peasants?"
I found that rather than waste my breath on this bastard I should just listen to Carlos. When the Inca warrior noticed I ignored his comrade he smiled and continued as he unfolded the paper wrapping on a big mac.
"As I was saying…"
