-Release her! -I order them, without measuring myself, while the gavel of a guard reminds me of reality, I am not a king, they do not have to obey my orders and I see myself as the man who stole the royal coffers, some lights cloud my sense while I feel another blow that sends me face down to the ground, I feel my nose boiling and a hot stream that washes my mouth, two guards lift me up and tie me next to her.

-What a rescue," exclaims the doctor.

-Wait, guards," orders the king, "the execution is cancelled, apparently there was a misunderstanding, that demon tricked us and took the face of that man.

-Excuse me, sir, that will not be possible, I only receive orders from his holiness Bishop Wilson, -answers one of the guards lighting the torch with which he is going to start the bonfire. -Where is the bishop," asked the president.

-His holiness has gone on pilgrimage," answered the guard, directing the torch to the pile of wood below us, while the crowd shouted, "Stop him!

-Stop him," shouted the president and shots pierced the guard's shining armor.

-It can't be, they are demons firing thunder, their wands pierced Sir Chisten's invincible armor which was blessed by his holiness himself," were some of the murmurs the locals shouted.

The guard fell dead, the torch rolled away throwing sparks that ignited the piles of shamizo, the anguish took over us as we felt the heat that seemed to swell our skin, the smell of wood with scorched flesh, made us scream in horror, asthma attacked me, closing my lungs even more, I remembered the times they put me in a room with boiling water with eucalyptus and other plants added, I had to absorb those vapors that supposedly would alleviate my asthma, which turned out to be another failed attempt of the good intention of my parents for their son to live a normal life, I remember how many concoctions they gave me, the places they took me to in the hope of replaceing my cure even though that made them replace their faith, a place that welcomed us where they felt at ease, on the other hand, I gave up attending when I came of age because I had many points of view in disagreement, that would have mattered now that my death was approaching, since it would be easy to accept it knowing that in a few years I would return to live in another body by something called reincarnation.

The smell changed to steam, the vapors again, we calmed down and managed to hear what they were saying:

-put them out, pour water, take them out, -again some soldiers lifted me up, sitting me on some logs, this steam, if it worked, seemed to calm my asthma, although what really helped me was a kiss from Yací that gave me back my soul, she did not care that my face was covered with blood and ash, the sweet taste of her lips deflated my lungs, it filled me with life, the joy of replaceing her again filled me with vitality.

-This one we can burn," proposed a soldier, grabbing Estiben in a mannered way.

-No, they are our guests, today there will be no executions, captain, I need your collaboration in the construction of shelters for the hundreds of newcomers, provide them with food, show them the wood forest, and talk to the clergymen so that they increase sacristy shifts while we erect some new temples," ordered the king to his captain.

-Yes your majesty, although we should go hunting with your warriors to bring meat for everyone," said the guard.

-Listen to your king or you will be the one who will end up at the stake. -The sir left grunting.

-I'm glad to see you, I'm glad you found out it wasn't me, that bastard set me up," I tell my doctor while kissing her like a machine gun.

-Yes love, I also fell into his trap, he even pretended to be you very well, only that I discovered it in the only place you are unique," Yací tells me making my imagination fly, watching him fail in bed, I feel good although I am offended that that truhan had her naked in his arms, I better change the subject to not continue torturing me.

-How did you get to this dimension and not theirs," I ask him, looking into his beautiful sooty eyes.

-It turns out that Lie didn't have enough energy to jump directly to that world, so he said they would cycle forward in the frequencies to get to his home,

-then we can follow him and catch him, -as I speak I imagine hanging him with my bare hands.

-Before we should take a bath, suddenly now if they don't allow it, here is a luxury, something allowed for the nobility, there is no aqueduct, their technology is medieval, they are submerged in ecclesiastical dogmas, besides having nefarious viruses that in our lands were exterminated or minimized by science, with vaccines or medical treatments, -Doctor Yací summarizes me trying to catch me up, -and as you could see, the only show is to see witches burning at the stake, besides there is something very creepy? She is interrupted by the fat Estiben who tells us:

-friends, we want to invite you to dinner, we will give you new clothes and a good tub of clean water, we are going to the castle of my master Leonidas.

We accepted the invitation, wishing that they would give us a room for just the two of us, where we could overflow our passion without measure, when we arrived at a beautiful castle, different from the others. We drank some strong and lumpy wines, the food tasted different, I do not know if it was the lack of seasoning or because it was cooked in wood or perhaps the fact that it was a more natural world, without pesticides and other chemicals that affect the food, at dinner the master Leonidas proposed a toast as follows:

-for you, a same being divided in the prism of the universe, with enough knowledge to change this tyrannical and oppressive world, you who in your worlds surely must have known better sciences and arts, where surely your worlds were not consumed by fanaticism, I want to offer you all my resources to your services in the time you wish to stay here.

-For you, the same being divided in the prism of the universe, with enough knowledge to change this tyrannical and oppressive world, you who in your worlds surely must have known better sciences and arts, where surely your worlds were not consumed by fanaticism, I want to offer you all my resources to your services in the time you wish to stay here.

-Yes, of course, friends, you know that it is not fair this burning of people and that the priest has more command than the king, you can't imagine the problem that will form when Monsignor Wilson returns from his pilgrimage, to that we must add how scared the people are with the instruments that the rescued people brought, -complemented the fat man while he chewed a partridge, we could see the little pieces flying, giving the impression that it was still alive.

-Well, we should kill them, the bishop, the king, the queen, all of them, even the jester of the castle," proposed Estiben loudly, and until that moment I noticed his company.

-It is something that we have contemplated," said the fat man, "only that it will be complicated for the people the transition of power and an impossible matter at this point the replacement of their church hierarch whom they consider as a god.

-I understand you, it is a matter that requires strategy and planning, it should not be done at the drop of a hat," interjected the bald man.

-Let me get this straight, you want to take power in order to establish a better government," interrupted the man of manners, who contrasted with the fat man, his good manners distinguished him from us more than his way of moving.

-If that is so, we need to be able to give free rein to research, to invent new ornaments without them being considered witchcraft, to be able to extract materials from the subsoil without being judged for the heresy of despoiling the earth, we need to form a better system where we are all equal, where women have other options other than having children, where they are not burned for knowing how to read, we must be able to have cats that devour those filthy rats that spread so many pests and.... -Leonidas' voice trailed off for a moment, his eyes whitened and he collapsed, his face buried in his bowl of soup.
