-Run! There's one! Run! Catch´em! - The cries were confused among the trees.
I was running completely disoriented… Felt walked past me, backing away with a look of horror on his face, his hands trembling covering his mouth. When I saw the direction his eyes were looking I understood. Kronx rested with the knees of his front legs touching the ground in an abnormal position, his chest leaning forward and he would have fallen on his face if it wasn't for the stick through his chest.
But still, his chest moved… "
Kronx!"
My voice attracted glances, several men turned
around -There's another one! Are two! double prize!
I was scared... my legs don't respond, Felt fell from the weight of a net while trying to run and I watched as Kronx stood up again and kicked the men he could as he approached us... However, one of them took out a sword. The next thing I remember is the blood on my face, the blood of Kronx, my legs trembling under the heavy net and my own bleating… I couldn't scream but like an animal… Then the lights went out and it was night again.
At night like when I went to see, I don't know why, the little boy...
There were no humans, everything was so quiet... so much so that some rabbits were nearby and prowling around the place.
One of the windows of the big house lit up and I thought I saw a glow... And then nothing, it must be my imagination, I thought as I stroked one of the rabbits among the trees.
I'm Hendrick, do you remember me?
The little boy's voice made my heart jump out of my mouth...
Did you come to see if he was okay?... Did you take a long time, you know?
I got ready to leave… -
Are you leaving?... You can't, I have to be grateful!
-You already thanked me- I replied…- I came… for the rabbits…
-What rabbits?
Yes… there weren't any… obviously they were smarter than me and had escaped from the human…
-Forget it…
-What are you?… You look like a boy… but you're not a boy… right?
- Well, I'm not a boy, because I'm taller than you...
-Hmmm... But you're not a girl... I mean... What kind of animal are you?
"Me? An animal?" No one had ever called me an animal...I didn't know how to respond to that...except clarifying things...
-I'm a centaur, and you're a human... we shouldn't be talking, it's forbidden...
-Who would prohibited? - I had also asked the same question a long time ago and received the same answer that I was going to give to the boy.
-The ancestors, they have the truths of the world… and if we are together for longer I will be cursed and the balance of the world will end…
-Oh… that is terrible… - he said sadly - Well, here….
He gave me a cloth bag. which I held with both hands in a state of bewilderment.
-Open it, it's for you... I thought about what a horse might like and that it could last a long time...
-I'm not a horse!
-Well... I like them a lot too... she said, opening the bag and putting a cube in her mouth... She showed it to me and spoke with a puffed cheek- it's very tasty... sweet... Have you tried sugar?
If he ate it himself, it couldn't be bad, right? Although humans ate other living beings…
I held the bucket as if wanting to see… What animal is this made of?
-That's not meat…Do you like meat? I can bring a lot of meat! Rabbit, boar, deer!
My tail bristled…
-No meat! No meat! - I said almost dying from nausea-do you understand?! Would it be possible to tame a human and teach him good?
Suddenly he put a lump in my mouth and covered it with his hand.
