This is the last time that you and I will talk
«Well, we have returned to this place, after a long time» Vroeg said sitting on the mound of sand on Amistad beach.
«So I see. But here nothing has changed Vroeg. The same beach, the wind, the waves, the sand. Everything stays the same” Replied Esteban sitting next to hym.
“That’s right, boy. When your consciousness awakens, everything external remains the same, like this beach. The change is internal.» The skunktaur replied serenely. The waves constantly lapped at the sand. The wind stirred their hair while the warmth of Chakastra’s rays caressed their bodies.
«Esteban. You have climbed one more step in your walk. You know, right? Everything happens in due time. If I had told you about these when we met for the first time, you would not have understood anything, and perhaps you would have walked away from me, just as you did at the beginning, when you thought I was a crazy old man, do you remember?
«Yes, Vroeg. I remember» Said the boy closing his eyes.
“Now, I’m happy for you. You managed to mitigate the hatred, pride and resentment of your heart, and instead you allowed compassion, love and understanding to flourish in it. Despite your injuries. Despite the ego At least, you managed to narrow it down a bit, heh heh heh.”
«A bit? Vroeg, do you know how much I had to go through to get here?
“Every step, it’s a tough battle, son. I never said it would be easy. Learning to conquer oneself requires effort and sacrifice. And you, you paid a high price. Nobody is born knowing how to surf, my little one”
The two remained silent for a moment. Esteban snuggled into Vroeg’s arms and rested his head on hys chest. The skunktaur, in a fit of love, kissed him forehead and caressed his hair. They both felt happiness in their hearts to be together again, after so long. After a few minutes, which seemed like days to them, Esteban declared:
«And now what should I do?»
«Son. You must keep moving forward. Once you start this path, you never stop progressing. There is always something new to learn” Said the skunktaur standing up. After taking a few short steps, hy added:
“Esteban, it is easy to love respectful, kind and loving people. And you have surrounded yourself with them since you arrived in Chakona. But it is much more provocative, to recognize in those who are not kind, neither respectful nor affectionate, a wounded person. And that wound, although it does not justify his actions, they acknowledges that they have it. When you receive something different from what you give, transformation occurs. Remember my son Ugkar. Hy gave you aggression, and you responded with kindness. And hys life changed. The same thing happened with Doren. And with your human father. You never finish progressing, because you never stop walking. And if you are able to change the lives of others, it is because you managed to turn on your inner light. That light that cost you pain and suffering, through your successive lives, is the guide that illuminates your path from now on. You awakened the teacher that everyone has inside. And for that, you don’t need me anymore.
«Vroeg!» The boy said, getting up too.
«I am so proud of you.» Added the skunktaur wagging hys tail. They both hugged again for a few moments. Then Vroeg testified.
“It is time for you to return. My friend surely already healed your wounds. Don’t let OUR father Renzar and my son Ugkar make a mistake. You are the only one who can take them away from the darkness that they are approaching at every moment.»
“And what will you do, Vroeg? Where will you go?»
“This Stariionae will go away from Chakona and return to his family. And I am no longer here. Little boy. I’m just a memory of what I was.
«Will we meet again, my beloved Vroeg?» Esteban inquired with moist eyes.
“Esteban, didn’t you hear me? Now I’m closer to you than you think. I love you brother»
