Part I

Visit

After the resolution of the seer's second adventure, I returned to the normal routine of work, social contact, and human relations. I was a long time without contact with Renato, the guardian or even the Hindu and the priestess, walking companions. Until on a beautiful sunny day when I enjoyed a moment of leisure with my family, I heard a thin voice calling me from afar. As I directed my vision to voice, my eyes filled with tears as I recognized my benefactor who had helped me overcome my challenges and entered the world's most dangerous cave on my first trip to the mountain.

As I got closer, I got up to greet her, gave her a kiss and a big hug. I took the opportunity to introduce you to my mother and my brothers. The contact was brief, but intense. Discreetly, she asked me for a private conversation. I accepted the invitation, and together we went to my room to have more privacy. On the way, our eyes crossed and hers gave me confidence and a dose of mystery. With a few more steps, we enter the room, she praises the decor, I thank you and offer a chair available while I sit in bed. We go head-to-head and it starts the dialogue.

“Is it a pleasure to see you again, son of God, how you spent that period away from me? I am here because I feel a cloud of doubt and uncertainty hanging over your life, hindering your evolution as a psychic and as a man. I believe I can help you by serving to point out the way, as in our first meeting. Are you ready to take a chance one more time?

“It is also a pleasure to see you again. Your help was fundamental for me to start my project in literature, and I am already in the third book. I appreciate everything. Yes, it is true, I am filled with doubts about my past, present and my uncertain future despite all the promises I have received from the higher spirits. I need a path. I need to evolve more. What am I supposed to do?

“Looking at you, I remember a young man with the same difficulties and with the same longings. It is an ancestor of yours named Víctor, the seer. He overcame his difficulties, studied magic, and developed his gifts by making him the winner in everything. His family is of a developed spiritual lineage capable even of performing miracles.

“I've heard of Víctor. Some of your deeds have reached my generation. I just do not know I have as much potential or courage as he does. Tell me guardian, do I have a chance?

“Do you ask me such a thing? Have you of just a simple dreamer, ever won challenges, faced the most dangerous cave in the world, understood and found the answers to your dark night of the soul and still have doubts? Trust yourself more and continue your path. What can I tell you is that your potential is excellent and as a seer can perform miracles in time and space?

“Thank you for the compliment. What am I supposed to do then?

“You must be trained by a special person who dominates the first six gifts of the holy ghost. This person's name is Angel, and he is thirteen. He lived as a young man with Victor and was exceptional in his life. To find, you should go to the Fundão site, a rural area of Pesqueira, in this same municipality. He lives in a simple little thatch house, in this place. Once there, you will begin to better understand your case and, in the end, you can develop and unroll the veil of time solving your problems.

“I get it. I have heard of the Fundão site, and I know where it is. It is close to here. When should I go?

“Immediately. Go pack your bags and when you are ready, say goodbye to your family. But before that, I have a surprise.

            The guardian whistled and in a matter of seconds I heard a noise of footsteps, a knock on the door of my room. Upon opening it, I came across my companion from two adventures behind, Renato, holding a suitcase. I watched him from top to bottom and noticed how grown, manly, and beautiful the hitherto little boy when I met him in 2010. Without thinking, I also gave him a big hug. Insistent tears flowed down our faces by the emotion of the moment. When we got apart, I asked him what all that meant, and he simply replied that he would help me one more time. I thanked the guardian and Renato for their support. Shortly after, she said goodbye and went to get my bag as recommended. In this task, I get help from my faithful squire. When we finished, I said goodbye to my family, left the house with Renato and walked a while towards the bus point. When we get there, we introduce ourselves and hire a driver to take us to the Fundão site. His name is Geronimo. I would start a new adventure searching for knowledge and fate still uncertain. Let us go along, readers!

The trip to the site

            We get in the car; we close the door and in a matter of seconds he leaves. As the journey was long, we began to talk to each other to distract ourselves. We talk a little of everything transcribed in some excerpts below:

“How you have been, kid, this period when we were separated? Have you studied hard? (The Seer)

“I took my life in my normal routine: Collaborating with the guardian and her teachings to help you on adventures, daily study at Mimoso's school, outings with friends and girlfriends. But all the time I thought of you. What about you? (Renato)

“I also fulfilled my routine that includes working in the public sector, social contacts, spiritual evolution, new learning, meeting new people, but I was also missing my life as a writer, a psychic. Thank you for the interest and your help. Without you, I would not have gotten much. As for girlfriends, aren't you too young to think about it? Don't you agree, Geronimo? (The Seer)

“You're absolutely right, you seer. Boys should play ball instead of flirting on girls. It is a lot of responsibility for those who do not have a well-formed mind. There could be an accident. (Noted Geronimo)

“Stop being grimaces, I’m not a boy anymore, and I can prove it. I already have a beard, underarm hair and in some other places that modesty does not allow me to mention. Besides, it is nothing serious, it is just a few flirts. (Protested Renato)

“That's all right. I am going to pretend to believe you. Like I do not know you, boy. But changing the subject, have you seen on the news how precarious our health is? Queues and more queues in public hospitals and people in need of urgent care in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) of hospitals and do not have a vacancy? What do you say to that? (The Seer)

“I have seen yes, and it is a disgrace to our country and our rulers. But it appears that the people are always more aware and protest. We need to be worth our rights because we pay taxes, we work four months to have quality public services, and we do not. This reality is not only health, but we also have latent problems in education, transport, sanitation, industry. I believe that only society can change this reality and a way out of this is peacefully protesting, electing more just and worthy leaders, and doing their part helping others without thinking of receiving anything in return. (Geronimo)

“But a lot has improved. I am young, but I was told that Brazil had a rampant inflation and that in the nineties they created an economic plan that slowed this process. Since then, everything has been better. With price stability, the economy has grown, there has been job and income generation, and we are already among the emerging countries. But I agree that we have much to improve on the quality of life of our population that deserves a lot because it is a very working people and full of dreams. Being a Brazilian to me is a pride. We are still number one in the world in every way. (Renato)

“Hopefully, Renato and that our football wins the cup and have a good participation in the Olympics to cheer our suffering population. (The Seer)

“And may my team win the Brazilian championship. (Completed Geronimo)

“What's your team? (Renato)

“Little secret. I do not want to displease my newest friends. (Geronimo)

“I root for Pernambuco. It is my state, and I will fight for it. I will do this through literature. I want everyone to be proud of me. (The Seer)

“Do you write? Interesting. What do you write about? How did this gift come about? (Asks Geronimo)

“Yes, I write. My story began in 2010 when on an impulse, I traveled to a mountain that promised to be sacred searching for finding my destiny. I climbed your steep trail, and when I got to the top, I had a life-change encounter. I met the guardian, an ancestral being possessing many mysteries who guided me and helped me to realize difficult challenges culminating in my approval in the stages. So, I was allowed to reach my goal: To face the cave of despair, a place where I could become a writer or any other dream I had. Even if I were overcome with fear because failure would cost me my life, I went in, dribbled traps, advanced scenarios and at some point, I arrived at the secret chamber. As I entered it, I partially developed my gifts and became the seer, a gifted being. With my new powers, I could make my first journey in time and in thirty days I lived in Mimoso along with my faithful partner Renato incredible adventures. In the end, I gathered the opposing forces, resolved conflicts and injustices, and helped someone find themselves. Everything I have lived has been documented in my first book I published in 2011 called “Opposing Forces.” After this first victory, I spent time dedicating myself to finishing college and solving personal problems. As I felt prepared, I returned to the mountain...
