The young athlete Richard Löwenkraft has just been interviewed on the sports program. The moderator asked the young man with the long black hair: "How do you feel? A few days ago you broke your own record in the 10km marathon."
Richard looked closely at the moderator and studied him first. Then he said in a calm voice: "How should I feel? I feel the same as always. ... Such a little morning walk is children's stuff. I don't even need to make a big effort.
The moderator looked at him in amazement. He probably couldn't quite identify what Richard had just said: 10km marathon - a morning walk? And what's more, was it all kid stuff for him? The moderator shook his head briefly and asked the next question: "Nice that it was a walk for you. But how did you get into this sport? I mean, how did it all start?"
Richard thought for a moment and replied: "It started when I was a little boy.Even back then, I was always the fastest at school and left everyone behind. ... Those were the days. Everyone wanted to know back then how I always managed to outrun them. Even the bigger ones I left behind. But at the time I didn't even think about pursuing my career as an athlete.
It was only after a few years that a friend of mine advised me to show my talent. I did it and you can see what has become of it. "
Richard finished his story and the presenter sat in his chair in silence for a while. But finally he said, "And you've won every race?"
The black-haired man looked at his counterpart and looked away with embarrassment: "Not really. There was a run: I almost won, but I was one meter short of overtaking Martini Barshek, who was in the lead In the run he told me that I was the only one who could keep up with him and still he was afraid that I would overtake him.After this race he retired because, as he said, he has found a good successor. ... Whatever he meant by that. He gave me his lucky charm and I've been wearing this lucky charm ever since. I do not take it off. "He pointed to his chain, which he wore around his neck. The amulet looked like a small ax with the blade pointing down.
The moderator was amazed and asked a lot of questions so that the interview lasted an hour. Richard was happy when he could finally go backstage. He mumbled to himself: “It's more exhausting than such a run.” He went to the toilets to refresh himself.
When he came out again, he heard a familiar voice: "Well, Richy. How are you?" The athlete turned in the direction from which the voice came and saw a man with dark blond hair standing back against the wall .
Richy walked up to the man and grinned fat in his face. He said, "What do you think Victor?... Does not matter. And how is it with you? "
Victor looked at him and said loosely: "So far I'm fine. But I'm worried about the recent incidents. More and more couples in love report that they had been attacked by a monster and then this dragon man comes and chases the monster away." disappears by himself. I wonder if these incidents involve ... "He paused as a group of people passed them.
Richy said: "You are so smart and have been appointed a detective. So you have to solve this case too. ... But I already know what you mean. If we could only get in touch with this dragon man, then we would be further. But unfortunately we don't know who he is or where he is. "
"If our theory is correct, then we should hurry up, because we are running out of time. ... And if the dragon man is who we think he is, then we are already three out of four. The next incident should we'd rather be there, "said Victor.Richy agreed with him. Both then went outside side by side. Both were silent on the way out.
They went to the nearby park and sat on a bench. There they watched the many children romping around or feeding the animals. The two of them were here very often and sat on this bench. It started when they were kids. They loved this park. He was always so calm and so beautiful. In the evening, lovers met again and again. Despite the four-year age difference between Victor and Richard, both had been good friends from the start. They shared every event. They both had the same secret too. And this secret wasn't that old after all.
It was created a few months ago on a full moon night.
-----
Victor and Richy were walking home from an interview through the park. Victor always accompanied Richy on the way home - it was always safer when two were out at night. And on top of that, Victor always went his way armed.And that night, as they were both on their way home, they heard someone scream out loud and it started to burn near them. The two ran there quickly, but before they got there, both were knocked down by two figures. They both got up and saw the two strangers. Both were wrapped in black and one said to the other: "Venom-Spider, take care of the two. I'll look around for Small-Snake. It can't be that difficult to kill a couple."
Vemon-Spider just said: "Yes." Then one of the two beings disappeared. Richy and Victor got up and wanted to run in the opposite direction. But Vemon-Spider knocked both of them to the ground again. The monster was too strong for both of them. Neither of them could muster anywhere near the strength they would need to hit this thing. The monster said to the two: "You two weaklings of humans. You have no chance against me." He went at Victor and hit him so hard that he fell into the nearby lake and slowly drowned in it unconscious.Richy wanted to get him out, but he was also hit and this flew into a tree. Richard got up again and still wanted to get to the lake to get his friend out of the water.
Meanwhile, Victor sank further and further to the bottom. At some point he opened his eyes and noticed that he was underwater. But he had no more strength to move. In his mind he thought: 'It's all over now. So that's how I'm supposed to die. I'm supposed to drown in the water? I can't move anymore. How's Richy doing? The monster is too strong. He took a deep breath and got up on all fours. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice and yet it was very strange to him. Victor looked around when he heard the voice: "Black-Cat, who was once on the side of darkness and is now rebelling against his own master, who was chosen for the element and became the ruler and master of the water.The water is your ally. You don't need to be afraid of the water. It will protect you. "
The voice stopped. Victor searched for the source of the voice, but did not find it. He shouted confused: "Who is there? And what do you want from me? I don't know what you want." His voice echoed in this place. And then there was silence again. No sound could be heard.
And suddenly he heard footsteps. Quiet and easy steps. And again came the voice that seemed so familiar and yet so strange: "I thought you were so clever and knew the answers to all your questions. Or where do you want your knowledge from?"
Victor turned around because the voice came from behind. He saw a man in a black puma skin. Victor looked closely at the alien being in front of him. It just came out of him: "Who are you? And what do you actually want from me?"
The stranger said in a calm voice: "Think about it. I was always with you and helped you.You have only come a long way through my knowledge. ... You have to finish what you started. And with my help and with the help of your friends you will make it. "
When the stranger told him that, Victor remembered that Richy was in danger. He woke up and was about to go to his friend - no matter how. He had to help him. The stranger noticed his reaction and said: "You want to go to your friend, don't you? I can help you, but you have to do me a favor. ... I have a request for you. ..." Victor listened to him. "... You absolutely have to prevent the darkness from spreading." Victor nodded and promised that he would do everything in his power to stop the evil. And at that moment the stranger came to Victor and disappeared into his body. At that moment everything became clear to Victor. He had the entire memory of this being in him and so Victor became with the words 'Water, my ally, give me the power' Black-Cat, the ruler and lord of the water.While Victor was underwater, Richard struggled to survive. His face was now smeared with blood and his opponent was still in his full strength. Another blow hit him and he flew into a tree. It went black before his eyes. He passed out. When he opened his eyes again he looked into the eyes of a wolf. He was startled and backed away from this wolf as fast as he could.
The wolf looked confused at Richy and walked slowly towards him. But Richy kept backing away. And finally he bumped into a wall. Richard looked around uncertain and frightened. The wolf came closer and closer. Out of fear, Richy hid his head in his arms and said with a trembling voice: "Please don't eat me."
With an answer he hadn't justified at that moment: "Why should I eat you?" Richard's head came out of its hiding place and saw a man in a wolf's clothing crouching in front of him. Richy looked at the stranger slowly and carefully until he finally took his arms off his head.The stranger asked him again: "Why should I eat you? I don't want anything of this kind from you. I just want you to help me."
Richard looked at him crooked and said: "I should help you? How do you get that? ..." And suddenly he remembered the wolf again and asked confused: "Where ... where is the wolf? Wasn't he here just a moment ago?"
The stranger looked at him in amazement and then said: "Which wolf do you mean? The only wolf I saw here was my reflection when I was a wolf. ... And ... you have to help me. You and me, we are one I have always lived inside you. You know, you have a mission to fulfill. You have to finish what you started. But you are not
