《MEMÓRIAS DE UM DEUS - Ficção [português]》O MULO
Advertisement
O que eu posso criar e deixar para este mundo? Talvez, se eu encontrar algo que ilumine o mundo, eu possa criar alguma coisa...
- Eu sei que você está aqui – Valentina falou para a distância, a alegria se espalhando em seu ser.
> Eu sei! - repetiu para a brisa e para as montanhas distantes.
> Está bem, então – falou se levantando e se preparando para tomar a direção da aldeia, que ficava a poucas léguas para o sul.
- Eu só estava cuidando...
- De mim?
Ela sorriu ao vê-lo surgir ao lado da trilha.
Ele a sondou, os olhos azuis cintilando.
- É que... Eu estava vigiando esses lados e...
- Sei... Então você é um guardador...
- Eu acho que pode me chamar assim – falou se aproximando.
- Que bom então, senhor guardador. Agora fico bem mais tranquila – falou sentando novamente e depositando o arco ao seu lado na rocha que improvisou como banco. – E seu nome, não vai me dizer?
- Os nomes são poder que delegamos... – falou, mostrando estranheza no interesse dela.
- É mesmo? O meu é Valentina, e não tenho medo...
- Nome bonito – disse ele meio sem-graça.
- Eu lhe disse o meu. Me diga o seu – pediu. – Uma troca de poder. Que tal?
Ele ficou em silêncio, pensativo.
- Mulo. Meu nome é Mulo – revelou.
- Estanho esse nome. Por que esse nome? Não pode gerar filhos?
- Me chamam assim porque não os tenho, nunca os tive, e nem os quero ter.
- Ora, e por que? – ela se mostrou surpresa. – Você os pode ter, se quiser?
- Acho que sim. Mas, por que os teria?
- Então é por falta de filhos que lhe deram esse nome... – cismou.

- Não, não só por isso. Muitos acreditam que estou destinado a não encontrar quem quer que seja.
- Ora, e por que pensam assim?
- Porque sempre repeli qualquer tipo de amor. Acho que amo mais a guerra, e temo o que posso deixar de herança nesse mundo. Esse mundo não é bom.
- Mas é o mundo que temos.
- Talvez, se algum dia o tornarmos melhor...
Valentina o observou com mais cuidado. Não esperara esse pensamento dele. Afinal, ele lhe parecera extremamente duro no encontro anterior.
- Você é diferente, meu amigo. O que você é, Mulo? Pessoa não é, nem mesmo anjo ou demônio. Você é um nefelin?
- Um nefelin – sussurrou ele pensativo.
- Se for mesmo um nefelin, confesso que nunca vi um como você. Eu não consigo definir. Me diz, que pessoa, ou pessoas, são seus pais?
- Essa cabecinha sua descansa algum momento?
Valentina abriu um enorme sorriso.
- Ora, então o meu amigo tem senso de humor? Não acredito – falou, forçando um modo assombrado.
Suspirou forte, tendo novamente aquele sentimento de intimidade, de um relacionamento discreto e antigo.
> É você, não é?
Ele ficou quieto por algum momento, observando-a com ar de quem não entendeu o que ela queria insinuar.
- Não entendi.. Eu o que?
> Ah, você sabe do que eu estou falando, sim. Por muitas vezes, e já faz um tempo longo demais, que me sinto sempre protegida. Eu sei que muitas vezes os que vinham contra mim fugiam sem motivo, ou simplesmente desistiam ou sumiam. Era você?
- E se fosse, me julgaria?
- Como poderia? – sussurrou. – Esse cuidador, nunca senti que agisse como dominador, nem com sentido de posse. Eu sempre o senti como um ato de carinho. Nunca poderia julgá-lo, a não ser dizer que sempre me senti em dívida, e que sempre quis dizer: obrigada, muito obrigada... Então, Mulo, muito obrigada...
Mulo baixou a cabeça. Valentina podia jurar que vira uma ameaça de um sorriso, e com certeza um sinal de alívio. Então, comovida, o viu chutar sem jeito uma pedrinha e se sentar bem devagar ao seu lado, em paz, enquanto observava também as montanhas no horizonte.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

Aelios Online
The year is 2040, technology has progressed on all fronts, but no field has shown as much growth as Virtual Reality. Aelios Online is the latest of innovations in the field, creating an entirely different world that its players may "dive" into. The world of Aelios itself is a world of both magic and technology, with the city of Retissia offering a more magical landscape compared to the more industrial streets of Gram. While the design of the world is impressive, the real draw of Aelios Online is its master AI, RIN. Quests, NPCs, the very shape of Aelios itself are all dictated by RINs response to player action and behavior, and over the course of the 5 years that Aelios Online has been active, the world has been changed in unimaginable ways. For every player action, there is a RIN reaction, and that has remained true throughout the game's entire runtime. There are many stories, many legends, that have been carved into the world of Aelios, but here we focus on two new players to the world. One aims to create in this new world, the other, to escape. Updates every Monday and Friday.
