INTRODUCTION This work is a research of supernatural information to start changing the closed minds that accept that fascinating and strange things do not really exist, with the help of many proves and evidences my partner and me began to think that we are not alone here in the earth, that we are not the superior specie, many living things are walking and hidden just in front of our eyes, this series of documents are for proving that “monster” are real. We can define the supernatural events relating to, or being above or beyond what is natural; unexplainable by natural law or phenomena; abnormal, but according to the knowledge of nowadays we can say it in a different way, like something that can damage our integrity, like monster that only think in killing humans. In the first document, we research for a poem that talks about a typical tale in Germany, “Slenderman” is a tall and thin creature, that the legend says, it carries the children to a deep forest where you can´t recover them. It’s a traditional tale that supposedly was created for keeping calm children. The second file is an article that present us some and most known supernatural events that occur nowadays in certain places of the world. The third one is an essay that show us how some legends of some regions are just fiction and was created to give renown to this places. Then is an autobiographical file that is the mixture of a normal life with a special power that can communicate with celestial entities. In my personal opinion the best work in this magazine is the short story that our team created for show to you how supernatural things are in contact with us, and they need us to coexist, it shows us how an atheist can change the course of the world with the aid of an angel, we put all of our creativity and effort to present this work, hope you enjoy it.

POEM Oh dear tall man, I´ve been waiting for you Here in the darkness I waited a long time Until you beat the mountain and climb Oh, I was so stupid that I didn’t know

Leave me alone Was the first note You live it in the middle of the forest In comparison with you, I´m the smallest

Most of the people find you strange But me, my dear tall friend There is no clue of you either range You´re a German and God blend

Now I´m your server You´re my god and my only savior I feel you, since you were my observer I wish that you like my behavior.

The most interesting paranormal phenomena. Paranormal events are phenomena described in popular culture, folklore, and other nonscientific bodies of knowledge, the existence within these context is described to lie beyond normal experience or scientific explanation. The most remarkable paranormal beliefs include those that talk about: ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects, psychic abilities or extrasensory perception, and cryptids. Now that you are informed about what paranormal phenomena is, we present you some of the most interesting paranormal events and sighting

The Belmez Faces “The Belmez Faces” is a paranormal event that happened in Spain, 1971. The residents of the house where it all happened, claimed that images of faces appeared on the concrete floor of their house, these images continued to appear and to disappear. Interesting enough, this case is considered by parapsychologists as one of the best documented in the century; Although scientist and skeptical do not believe the same, as they performed extensive test on the faces, they conclude that all the case is a hoax, because the images were applied with lead paint. It is also said that the family that “suffered” from the faces perpetrated the hoax for financial gain. At the end of all this, this case was completely debunked on 2004, when a chemist from Spain, specialized on concrete, discovered that it was just some kind of paint, and it could be easily removed with a German painter remover.

Room 428 This particular “Room 428” is a room in the Ohio University, which is unavailable for students for unknown reason. It is claimed that poltergeist activity has been felt inside the room, such as flying objects across the room, doors opening and shutting by themselves, dark shadows appearing and disappearing irrationally. Something that creeps the most the people who find out about this room, is the “demon-like” face that appears in the wood grain of the door. Strangely, this door has been replaced several times, only to have the face on it again… People claim that the spirit that lies on the room is one from a student that committed suicide inside that

5 same room. It should be noted that authorities from the university claim that no student has ever committed suicide in that room, and locked up the room to prevent further “paranormal” investigation, but it had an opposite effect and it makes the room more interesting for everyone. But one thing is sure, is that no one in the university knows for sure why the room is closed…

Mapimi Silent Zone. Between the States of Durango, Chihuahua and Coahuila, Mexico, there is a place that has been the site of very strange radio wave phenomenon. In July 1970, it’s said that a US military test base in Utah Launched a test missile that went way off course and crashed in the desert. A team was sent to find the wreckage, and a road was built to transport it back. It has been said that no radio, TV, shortwave, microwave or satellite signals can get into the zone. Strange orbs, lights, and UFOs have been spotter in the zone as well as reports of three blond humanoid creatures. Several sources claim that they request only water, and when asked where they are from, they reply “From above”. To conclude, these paranormal phenomena surely are interesting, but there is one thing about, we have not certain proves about whether or not these phenomena are 100% real or just a hoax to scare off people. Even thought that doesn’t not make it less interesting for investigation or as cool creepy facts about something in general. References:    

Paranormal events, reality or scam? “Essay” Do paranormal phenomena even exist? If humanity is having lots of technological advances, why cannot prove paranormal or supernatural phenomena? Is science scared about paranormal events? In this essay, I will answer all these questions. First of all, we can’t be completely sure if paranormal events are true, because science has not been able to prove one of this events completely, why? Because of how these kinds of events are reported, people tend to distort reality when they are talking about them, this has to do with something on our own brains, which is that when we, humans beings are shocked with something or really scared, we deeply remember the event, dismissing details that our brain does not found relevant; but in fact they’re pretty important. When that happens, we now have a memory, but our opinion of that memory is biased, as we were not in full attention when that happened and we skipped the details. That’s why is difficult to gain information about supernatural or paranormal, with people that experienced them. Now talking about the technological advance that we have, with all the technology being in development, obviously there is someone that has started to think about a device that can perceive or show us that there is something supernatural happening, then, if there is someone probably developing a device or a technological advance to prove paranormal and supernatural phenomena, why haven’t we see anything like that recently? Well, I’m not saying that we cannot do that in a near future, but, we cannot prove something like this now, because the devices are made in a scientific way, and what do scientist use? That’s right, the scientific method, and I don’t have something against the scientific method, but It is not possible to explain something far beyond our comprehension such as paranormal activity and supernatural phenomena. And I say that because the scientific method has something called experimentation, where we need to prove our theories, then is when we hit a wall, how can you reproduce a paranormal event? Well, you can’t! It’s out of your control, if supernatural and paranormal entities exist, they won’t obey your will, so that is a “reason” why you cannot prove a paranormal event. Is science scared about the paranormal? I’m really sure that science is not scared at all about the supernatural and paranormal. It’s completely the opposite, many scientists are really into finding about these paranormal “realm” or “world”. While others are skeptical about it. Sadly, even if there are a lot of scientist interested about proving or disproving paranormal phenomena, it won’t be possible, until they find a way to adapt the scientific method to investigate this kind of events. I personally think that we could investigate the paranormal, but it won’t be in recent years, until we find a way to accurately record the findings and to reproduce those discoveries, but I hope that it will be possible on day.

7 Now, that I have answered all the questions that were made at the beginning of this essay, Paranormal events are a reality or a scam? Well they’re kind of, because we know paranormal phenomena exists, but there is no way we can prove it. But sadly it is more inclined to be scam, why? Because most of the people fake them, so they can earn money by attracting tourist, to scare off people in certain people, to keep intruders out. To prove it, here is a list of some paranormal and supernatural phenomena that resulted in a hoax. 1. King Tut's Curse When Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered early in the 20th Century, a curse was found inscribed over the entrance: "Death shall come on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the king". Before long, stories were being told about unnatural deaths of workers on the site. "King Tut's Curse" eventually found its way into popular culture and set the stage for a whole subgenre of horror stories and movies. In 1980 the security officer for the original excavation site admitted that stories had been circulated to scare away thieves. Historical records show that most excavation workers went on to lead long and healthy lives. 2. Uri Geller's Spoon-Bending During the 1970s Uri Geller enjoyed huge success with his mentalism acts, based largely on his alleged ability to bend spoons with his mind. Geller staunchly defended his claim to supernatural powers until hard evidence finally caught up with him. A 1982 book by James Randi exposed Geller's tricks, and Geller was caught numerous times on camera manipulating stage props (e.g. pre-bending spoons). He has since earned a reputation for frivolous litigation after a series of failed lawsuits—mostly against people who publish unflattering material about him. Despite never officially "outing" himself, Geller has tacitly confessed to the hoax. In 2007 he expressed the following change of heart: "I’ll no longer say that I have supernatural powers. I am an entertainer.... My entire character has changed." 3. Loch Ness Monster — The Surgeon's Photo There have been many hoaxes associated with the Loch Ness Monster but none more enduring than "The Surgeon's Photo", submitted to the London Daily Mail

8 by Dr. R. Kenneth Wilson in 1934. It wasn't the first sighting of the monster, or even the most convincing, but for decades this photo was an icon in the world of cryptozoology. The hoax is believed to have been orchestrated by photographer Marmaduke Wetherall, who had previously been humiliated after taking photos of fake monster footprints. In a 1975 newspaper article, Wetherall's son, Ian explained how the monster in the photo was actually a toy submarine attached to a wooden neck. Now that you have read the list, we can clearly see that people create hoaxes, to gain money, and became have some fame. But for what? It just creates a bad reputation for people who truly is involved in the research of supernatural events, which is really sad, that the ambition of some people, ruin the small credibility the paranormal and supernatural community has. To conclude, my essay, I do not think we should label supernatural and paranormal events as an absolute true or false, because the reason of this kind of phenomena to be seen skeptically is because of people who creates fake stories and to sell them to the people. Which leaves supernatural and paranormal phenomena in a weird spot, where, should it be treated seriously? Or does it need to be completely ignored. The thing is, that it needs to be considered relevant… but not completely true, because as I have stated, we cannot prove those events, so you don’t we cannot take something unconfirmed as a fact. Actually I believe that the researchers of the paranormal and supernatural, just need to be given a chase, so they can prove that they can be taken seriously, but this chance won’t happen until they realize a way they can really prove their “discoveries”. And at least to try to adapt the scientific method to their research, so it will be more valid to the scientific community, and accepted by everyone in the future. Hopefully it will happen one day that all those mysteries regarding paranormal and supernatural phenomena will end, and instead of mysteries, we will have facts about them and humanity will have a deeper understanding of all the phenomena that happens on earth.

My Life.

(Autobiography)

My name is Jose Maria Emmanuel Tehuitzil Hernandez, I am the second son out of third, I was born in March 18th in a place full of ancient culture, and like everyone know, full of tales and history, Cholula de Rivadabia is where” I´m living” right now and it is the last town that was created in Cholula, that is called Jesus Tlatempa, my family comes from different cultures all around the world, I didn´t even know that my grand grandmother was from French offspring, I specially consider myself like a mestizo that is the union of a Spanish with a native of Mexico, I think this is because my first last name is TEHUITZIL that in náhuatl means” Stone hummingbird” and HERNANDEZ that is the typical last name in Spain, the name that my parents Alejandro Tehuitzil and Mary Paz gave me was very catholic JOSE and MARIA because the parents of Jesus, and EMMANUEL means in Hebrew “God with us”, so I was raised in a catholic environment, I like very much this religion because is mixed with traditions that Cholula has, and here is where all the stuff started I´m different than others because of this “powers” or “God´s gift”, and another important fact you need to know before reading this, is that I´m a very catholic person, I think is one of the characteristics that complete the human´s soul. I suffered many family losses since I was a child, at the age of 6 years I lost my uncle, and my grandfather at the next year, so this made a connection with events that for my way of thinking at that age was strange .In the catholic religion many actions are forbidden and can be related with sins, my first experience was one day, when I was alone in my room, more or less at the 3:33 am, when I was 13 years old, an angel appeared to me in the corner of my room, a shiny figure start, (I think) , trying to communicate in a strange dialect that sound like a beep but with variations, since that moment I became interested in the supernatural topics that talks about demons and angels. Then talking with my family, my father and brother experienced the same situation at the same age, so I become very afraid of who I was. But I continue my life, I went to the most famous school in Cholula called “INSTITUTO GARCIA DE CISNEROS” where all my family did their school career, I went from 1st of kinder up to 1st grade of primary school, I was an outstanding student, I won many awards, like one of karate, of best soccer player, of best score in all the subjects, but then the academic level of the school started to decrease, so my parents took the decision of changing me of institute, my father´s dream was to change me where “I´m studying”, the IMM, at the beginning, it was very difficult for me to adapt, because everything was completely different for me, but with the help of my Friends I could overcome this problems, my best friend, Franco Avila, that I met him since I enter to the school, and many Friends where introducing in my life, So for eight years I was the best of my classroom for those special abilities, primary was a relaxing time, but when I faced the junior high school; I started to participate in many contest like being a candidate in speech and poetry, in math and chemistry tests and in many football matches, then I started to focus on my future, on what I will be in 10 years and discovered that the

10 chemistry and physics was the most easy subjects for me, so I´m focusing on that careers This whole cycles in my life taught me that everywhere you go, you´ll find people that you don´t like and people you will never forget, Friends play an important role in your life, I know that I´m not so old but since I have lived, the life is teaching me how difficult is to be successful surrounded by many people that have the same purpose that you, be the best, I just want to finish this work with the quote of a famous writer Paulo Coehlo “fight for your dreams or others will impose their own”.

Fall of the Light. “Short Story” Somewhere in heaven’s headquarters… Michael, is in an intense talk with Raphael, discussing a very serious aspect that involves all the heaven and the land of men, a terrible evil is going to descend on everybody, and it needs to be stopped right now, but, they do not know about this…yet. – “We should really need some help right now!.” –Said Raphael almost shouting. – “I know, I know… but, what can we do about it? All our research points out that any entity that comes from the heavens cannot be used to defend us…everyone from the danger that is coming.” – Michael replied calmly, but with a small feeling of panic. – “And what are you waiting for! We cannot stay like this and do nothing we shou…” – “I know! The solution is quite simple.” –“But…” –“Don’t you see it? If no divine entity can stop the evil that comes… Why not send a non-divine entity? Like, you know… humans!” –“You really are panicking about this if you think that a simple human can be of help.” – “Come on! Trust me, I’ve been thinking about this plan for a while, even if doesn’t look like it. I have already spotted a human that can be of help.” – “Oh really? Then, show it to me!” Suddenly, a subtle glow appeared around Michael’s silhouette while he recited this words “Nam exercituum. Ostende mihi speculum mundos” Almost instantly, a mirror that surely was not normal, started to display an image of the earth, and then, a moving image of a peculiar human being. After the image reached Raphael’s eyes, shocked, he exclaimed. – “I’m out! If you think that will help us, you surely have lost your mind.” After that, Raphael leaved dramatically. A few moments passed after Raphael left the room, Michael felt a little hurt, as one of his brothers do not believe in him. Afterwards, Michael left the room too, and in his way out, started to think in a way to fulfill his plan, he expected that Raphael will cooperate with him, and Gabriel was nowhere to be seen. Michael was really amazed that he had to use “Plan C”, which involved in going to search the human by himself. But it was a risky plan. Archangels have rules, one of them is that their visits to earth must not last too long, specifically, they should not be on earth for more than 1 month and 15 days and with a Cooldown of 6 months. He should really think a way where he can convince that particular human being. That’s going to be a tough job, this particular human, is an atheist, a non-believer, and has been one for at least 13 years. That is the reason why Raphael did not support him with this. But there’s no turn back, he has already decided to this the hard way. But all hope is not lost, Michael has a really strong feeling that he is the right human, and also other unconventional methods for convincing people, but he has hoping not to depend on using those kind of methods, as they’re forbidden to use, but it has a necessary evil for the greater good, no one is going end up harmed for a little broken rule… right?

Somewhere on Earth, in relatively big city on earth. A young man in his late twenties, with a miserable life, not because he was living in bad conditions or anything like it, but more because of a miserable existence, he was an individual that did not stand out in anything, single, he had no goals for the future, he was working in a job he did not like, and he could not study what he wanted, as he barely finished high school. He was getting ready to go to his boring job, he did not sleep well, why? Because he was awake until 3 a.m. on his phone, why he did that every night? He didn’t know either, it was a way to distract himself for all the duties he had to do the next day probably; It is for sure that he has to stop this habit quickly, as he has experienced the consequences of lack of sleep. He thought about it while he has eating his breakfast, when he received a phone call from a known number. – “Hello?” –He answered. – “Dudeee, how you doing? You up for a drink?” – “You know what time is it? Let me do it for you, it is… 9…32… 9:32 a.m.! The pub isn’t even open yet! And in case you didn’t know I have to go to work, bye.” – “B…But…HEY DON’T HU…” The call was ended abruptly. – “Sigh… gotta get moving.” He said out loud, while he quickly finished up his breakfast and left his department. It was not too late, in fact he left quite early, but he did not own a car, so he had to take public transportation, he had to take 2 buses to arrive to his job, and each one took 10 minutes, and by that time, he’ll be late to work. – “Hi Harry!” – A sweet voice took over him, he was not accustomed to be called by his real name, he turned back, just to see it was his neighbor Marie. – “Uhm, Hi Marie, I would really like to talk to you, but right now it’s not the time, or I’m going to be late for job, again!” –She giggled – “Do not worry, I’ll be staying here all day, so, you can come and talk later if you feel like it.” He left and said something, but he started to run as he saw that the bus is going to pass near here, what he said was not understandable, that even I do not know what he said. Marie just smiled at him and left to his apartment, a little disappointed, as she really looked forward into talking with him. They used to be really good friends and hang out frequently. Later, on the entrance of his office 10:12 a.m. He just arrived to his job, and by the look of his boss, that was casually waiting at the door, he did not seem happy by his arrival. – “BALFOUR! YOU’RE LATE, AGAIN.” His boss explained, not looking joyful. – “But… Since you are the first to arrive today, you’ll be pardoned.” Harry gave a confused look to his boss – “Oh, it seems that you didn’t heard, but, a massive car crash happened about 15 minutes ago, and blocked the main road where everyone of your coworkers come, and the only road not closed is where the bus passes by.” He was immensely relieved, and quickly moved towards his small office, he worked as an editor in a magazine, he certainly didn’t enjoy having to fix the mistakes and correct tons of articles. But today, since he was just a subordinate, he

13 needed instructions of his superiors in what to do for the day, but apparently, they’ve have not arrived; He took advantage of the situation and proceeded to take a little nap on his chair, but first he locked the door, so no one can enter to the office and catch him off guard sleeping. He easily started to dream, and the dream was the same that he has been having every night, if he falls sleep on the night. The dream that he has been having every night, takes place in a really dark mountain, with a strong winds and a storm, and he finds himself at the top of it, a dark figure rises above him, and is struck down by a lighting and after that the sun comes out and a wonderful day starts, but he feels oddly unsatisfied, and a sense that this should not be happening. A loud bang is heard. Harry wakes up quickly and tries to look presentable, before opening the door. The office is still silent, when it usually has the classic soft conversation happening here and there, the sound of papers being shifted, the typing on a keyboard along with mouse clicks. He proceeds to open the door, to his surprise is the boss again, and by his look, he was sleeping too a few moments back. – “Do you want something sir?” Harry said. – “I just come to tell you that I’ll give the day off, as it is already 12:40 and no one has arrived yet, so go home kiddo.” He was really glad to hear that. His boss left in that moment, and Harry proceeded to take all his stuff and walk home, maybe he will finally feel to go and hang out with Marie. He was already out of the building, and as he decided that he was going to walk, he is going to grab something to eat, probably order something to go at a fast food restaurant. The whole trip from the office to home will take him at least 30 minutes. So he started walking, strangely, he was feeling happier than usual, and it felt so wrong to him, he is not a happy person, and he knew that, and the people from his inner circle. He ignored the feeling and continue walking, but, as he walked, he felt a really odd sensation, as he was being watched intensely, he stopped at that moment, to observe the area and notice a suspicious individual. It was really easy to find the one who has been spying on him, as it was someone watching him over a bench in the park that was one block in front of him, it was a guy with reddish brown hair, slim but looked strong, looking at him with a strong neutral expression. Harry walked over to him, when he was close enough, without even noticing the suspicious individual stood up really quickly, in an inhumane way and proceed to take down Harry, and blindfold him. – “What the hell! Let me Go!” Demanded Harry. – “Sometimes horrible things must be done for a greater good.” Replied the unknown person. – “You’re talking nonsense dude! Let me go! Or…” – “Or…?” – “I’m going to call the…police! Yeah, the police!” – “Hahaha, and how are you going to do that if you’re blindfolded, huh?” Harry was sure that he has stared at his phone long enough to memorize the layout of the lock screen, and he is pretty sure that at the bottom left

14 corner is a button for “emergency calls” he tapped it and dialed the 911 and called. The unknown figure was amazed that he could do that and smiled, almost wickedly, but not without taking away his cellphone to Harry. – “Alright, alright, Let’s go through this quickly.” He tied Harry’s hands and sat him down then, He removed the bandage from his eyes. – “What do you want from me?!” Said harry, really angry, but a little scared too. – “Oh god… Where to start?... Well, believe it or not, my name is Michael.” – “So what?” Harry snapped out – “So, I’m an archangel, and I come here to take a human being that will be used as tool to help save both the earth and heaven from the darkness that is coming.” – “Do you expect me to believe that crap?! C’mon tell me what do you want from me! – “That is the truth the end is really here, believe me… uhm… It is exactly in 2 days!” – “ Pfft! A lot of people has claimed that the world will come to an end and nothing happened, what will make you believe in you? – “Sigh you are really stubborn…” After that Michael, recited these words: Vocavit. Ornatu. Placere credent mihi opus auxiliator tuus noli stultus. Just as he finished reciting those words a sword appeared on Michaels hand and his clothes changed to traditional clothes of a light roman soldier. And a big pair of wings spread out from his back. Luckily they were in an alleyway and no one could see both of them. – “Again, I’m Michael, one of the three archangels!” Surprisingly, even after such display of magic, being in front of a divine entity. Harry had a perfect poker face. Others most have thought that he was faking it. But it was true, in fact, he was not surprised at all – “So what? just because you have “divine” powers you can come to earth and act like a total asshole to a random citizen? I do know that entities like you indeed exist, but I don’t believe in your “god”, probably you have never seen him or heard him talk directly to you.” Michael felt a hole on his being, he was actually true, he had never seen God, but when he was summoned by him, he would feel his energy, but… how was he sure it was his energy and not a natural thing, or just instinct, he realized he was doubting in what he believes, because of a dumb human. He was furious, and that was a bad idea. – “And what do you know human?! You have not even lived a 10th of my life. You know nothing!” He was blocked, for a moment he didn’t knew that to say. – “ Arggh! You sure are really stubborn you’ll have to cooperate the hard hard way.” Harry wanted to laugh at how ridiculous Michael was sounding, but he heard some voices whispering to his head in a strange language that he could not understand. When harry looked again to Michael he was reciting…no, yelling this words: Vetitum est. Imperium. Imperium Romanum. Solvite animo. Et omnia mea! Something was wrong. Suddenly an intense pain came to Harry’s head, as it was being crushed by a car, and being stabbed with hundreds of needles on the top the head. Harry screamed intensely, he was not bleeding, but he could feel that he was, in that moment he realized, that the pain that he was not feeling, was not real, he was feeling it, but it was not really happening. He wanted to talk, but he was unable to move any single muscle of his body, and that scared like nothing else has done in life. He was not able to breathe. Fifteen seconds have passed and he was starting to faint, and then die, eventually for lack of oxygen. Michael regained his composure, and realized his mistake,

15 and weakened the spell. Harry was able to move again and started to breath heavily. Michael has done enough, he vanished from there and left Harry on his own. Harry did not know what to do now, how to return home, or where he even was in the first way. A loud bang is heard. Harry woke up, he was still at his office, now he was really confused, he stood up and opened the door. It was Wilton Lloyd his superior, everyone called him Lloyd. – “What’s the matter Lloyd?” – “I just come to do…Whoa! You look really pallid man; do you feel alright?” – “Yeah, I’m… fine, it was just a nigh…” Crap I can’t tell him it was a nightmare, he’ll know I was sleeping at work! He thought quickly – “It is just that I’m really hungry, I didn’t have breakfast today. – “You should go to the lunch room immediately then! Anyway, here is the work of today, see you later Balfour” Afterwards Lloyd left the room, and Harry was alone with his thoughts again. He was not the one of the people that are superstitious about their dreams, but the one he has just experimented was too real, and if it is definitely real, maybe he should help the archangel. 5 days later, Harry’s Home. Already 5 days after that “nightmare incident” and he still remembers it as if it was a just a few minutes ago. The same that happened when he returned from work, he felt the urge to tell his experience to Marie, it was good idea their friendship was not completely broken, and Marie told him that maybe that dream is a sign that he´ll have to do a difficult choice, and of course he didn’t believe her a thing. But that made him a little bit more calmed. Heaven, same day as above. Michael was back from earth, he’s been there for the exact time of 1 month and 15 days. When he arrived his two brothers Gabriel and Raphael where waiting for him with look of disappointment on him. – “What’s wrong?” Michael asked – “What’s wrong?! You went all by yourself to search the one and what did you do? Torture a random human, and wasting 1 month stalking him.” Replied Gabriel with a tone of angriness and disappointment. – “Alright, alright, I know, I messed it up, but… we still have time to stop the darkness, right?” – “Are you serious?! Time’s up! We have no more time, I’ve just alerted everybody that the first signs of the evil that is coming already arrived here.” Said Raphael. – “Please don’t tell me that… we…” – “Don’t worry unlike like you, we searched for a human, but… with better qualities, they’re like champions, but… and the one that defeats the evil is the one.” Raphael told Michael. – “Champions?! Treating living beings that way is against the rules!” – “And what you did with that human is permitted on the rules, right?” Said Gabriel sarcastically. – “The use of champions is punishable! I will tell God right away.” – “Then do it! Do you want to stop us? Do you want our world to be destroyed?” – “Uhm… No!” – “Then… STAY AWAY!” Gabriel and Raphael said at

16 chorus. And after that Gabriel and Raphael vanished, to stop the rise of evil as time was already over. Michael was devastated, as his own brothers have turned against him. He was going to see God, not to put in problems his brothers, but to bring Harry, he was convinced that he had all the qualities to defeat the evil that came. While he was going there, he was remembered when Harry told him that he had probably never seen God, nor heard his voice or a physical manifestation of him, he was worried that he won’t find anything. But again… he sticks to his faith and proceeded to talk to him. The room where God supposedly is just like everyone else’s but a little bit brighter. When Michael arrived, he was without words, God was not there, but he could feel a lot of energy there. Suddenly a Sweet but in the same way Deep voice started to talk to him. It was the most beautiful thing he had heard and his conversation with him so, so… good, that there are no words to describe their long conversation. Michael goes where their brothers are. A big floating mountain waiting for the concentration of all evil to manifest. He proceeds to summon Harry, just as his brothers start to summon their respective “champions”. It was all a trap, when Michael is summoning Harry, their brothers are doing an inverse summon and sending Michael again to earth. It is already too late to avoid this. Michael at his last glance watches that the summoning of Harry was completed at least, and he’ll have to do this by his own. The instant that Michael is on earth, he breaks the time limit that he has to stay on earth, and breaking a serious divine rule is punished with the loss of all divinity. Michael being and archangel will start to became a regular human being, and with his last moments of divinity, he brings up a mirror of worlds, to at least, watch how harry succeeds, as he is completely sure that he’ll make it. Harry’s Department, Same day. It looks that finally after 4 days of not sleeping, he’ll finally make it and sleep 8 hours at least, but, suddenly, his body starts to feel lighter, and when we open his eyes, he sees his whole world move extremely fast, and when he finally realizes it, he is there… in the place he has dreamed all these days, the mountain, with the storm and the strong winds. – “Oh what do I Do, what do I Do!” Harry is panicking, he looks away and sees that there are 2 other guys, but they’re busy fighting some shadowy creatures and demons. Now, he is completely sure about what he has to do. Harry sees a shield and a sword, and with an unknown reason, the moment he touches them both, he has the feeling that he has used them all his life. An arrow past near his head. – “WHOAA WHAT THE HECK!” A group of shadow creatures approaches Harry and he proceed to fight against them. He likes his new abilities, he’s now able to block, parry attack with grace and precession his opponents he ends with them easily. And tries to moves towards the other 2 humans. While moving he swings his sword to everything that is too close to him, killing it almost

17 instantly. He reaches one of the other humans. – “Look Jaime! We got some help, great!” The human told his friend Jaime – “Awesome!” She replied. – “I’m Duncan by the way. “The three of them fighter heroically for about 20 minutes, but as each minute passed, the waves of enemies got stronger and stronger, - “Hey we won’t last like this forever…” Harry suggested. – “We should look after their leader.” Jaime said. In that moment Duncan was going to talk when a demon appeared from below all the earth and stabbed him in the back – “I guess I made you a favor.” Effectively he has done them a favor, he’s the leader of all this darkness and evil group. – “Sorry but it’s my duty to do it.” With an incredible mobility, the demon dashed across and gave a slash to Jaime and make her a cot across all hey chest. Jaime Fell down and groaned with pain, she was going to die quickly, and looked at harry with deep sadness in her eyes, don’t letting her death be in vain. Harry was furious, so furious that he darted to the demon and started to do a series of slashes across his body, the demon was two times bigger than him. The demon thrower his sword at him. Harry blocked it with his shield, it was a distraction, as the demon went and grabbed a battle axe, and quickly moved towards him. Harry rolled to his right, to avoid being hit by one of the attacks of the demon, and stabbed him in one side; The demon groaned in pain. Harry was surprised that he was good at this. Then he opened his mouth. – “Why do you want do destroy both Heaven and the Earth?! This is nonsense.” The demon spitted blood before talking. – “E…Earth? What are you talking about, we come in revenge about all the horrible that angels and light beings did to us; We need earth as a bridge between worlds, why should we destroy it? – “I was being used…” Said Harry with tone betrayal – “what?” – “Why didn’t you fight your own battles, you useless archangels! You know what demon, there is no point in defending guys like them end with me NOW!” – “Sure!” The Demon was completely confused but didn’t doubt the orders. And before harry would feel anything, he was stabbed in his chest, passing by his heart. The moment his heart beat stopped. A new era has begun; All angels and archangels that were observing the fight were completely amazed, They’ve lost, nowhere to go, trapped in heaven, they will all die as it Is impossible for angels to hurt them. Since now, heaven do not exist, and all souls of people the people who belonged there to move freely across earth and across all existential planes without peace and rest. Harry was still alive… and with his last words – “Heh, finally evils wins, he,he,he… m…m…maybe, e…evil, the evil we know… isn’t a…as b…bad as w…we think…” Harry Died. Michaels is devastated, all divinity is now doomed, and heaven doesn’t exist now, because… he was so blinded, and believed in Harry; The worst mistake he has made,

18 and no way he can fix it now… Who knows what humanity has to affront with. It’s sad how great consequences can happen with little acts with no judgement.

A loud bang is heard…

Conclusion. Doing this online magazine was a little difficult work as it was not too easy to write a lot, but I enjoyed it anyway, it is an interesting way to improve my English writing skills and how to express myself.

What I really liked about this work is that we had the liberty to choose our own topic and write whatever we wanted, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice motivation so we do not get stuck in our writing, and to get inspiration about writing about things we like.

I think that the most difficult work of this magazine was the short story, as I did not find a way to make the topic we chose to match a story I liked to tell, at the end I managed to get regular story. It is not my proudest job, but it is still enjoyable at least. To finish, this work was really useful work for practicing English and was really enjoyable, I would do it again, but personally I would not choose this topic again.
