I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 87

I wake up coughing, everything hurts, "What happened?", is what I ask disoriented, I can hardly speak or move, I can only see the rock ceiling, as if I were in a cave.

-Finally the sleeping beauty woke up,

I look for the origin of the voice and I only see a mirror that keeps talking to me:

-you snore like a pig, I don't know how she put up with you.

I react trying to break it with a blow, it is beard, who laughs at my inability and tells me again:

-calm down, gallant, please calm down, you can't move, you are still weak from the loss of blood and the blows of those two beasts. I preferred to pretend to be unconscious so they wouldn't finish me off. -Why are we in this cave? -I asked him tired of trying to hit him.

-We had to escape, the soldiers revolted when they remembered that they had been manipulated, everything went to hell, the government is now a bunch of assholes and your women left with the portal, I can't think of a way to escape, we have no means, the only thing....

I feel an icy breeze, I raise my head towards the mouth of the cave and it seems to be snowing.

-Hey, it doesn't snow in this country, what happened?

-Doroti, it turns out that you are no longer in Kansas, or rather yes, we had to flee and this was the best five star hotel I could get.

-I can't believe you had to save me.

-It was a last minute decision, you were lying there in a pool of blood, so I loaded you into a car headed in an unknown direction and here we are, I couldn't have arranged a better political asylum, -Beard, do I still have the bullet?

That's a beautiful story, too bad you don't remember, you screamed so much, an apothecary took out the bullet using a knife and then closed the wound with a hot iron, it reminded me of a movie about a man who single-handedly wiped out entire armies. -The memories come to me all at once like photographs.

-I seem to remember that we also had to run out of that place. -I comment, seeing him in my mind as he carries me on his shoulders, while some soldiers chase us.

-I had to lift you for very long distances, it's amazing what adrenaline does, of course it helps that you weigh so little, I couldn't even carry the fat Estiben half a block. -So I don't understand the reason why you saved me and got stuck with me. I touch my tongue, as I feel it again.

-It's like I was telling you, I saw you lying there and Lie left dissolving my empire, I was left with no options, I saw that you were still breathing and without thinking twice I lifted you on my shoulder, I had to get out of there escaping from the soldiers, they even shot at us, I felt how the bullets grazed us.

-It seems to me that they tried to lynch us leaving the city, I see myself disguised as a woman, a man kissed you, that was very funny. I grab my head remembering, another memory comes to me, we were in a military plane, I ask him about that.

-Do you remember that we were captured at the airport, but we were able to escape and we stole that military plane that shot us down arriving to this place where we are stranded.

-Well, I thank you very much for all your efforts, I really don't know what to say, while my loved ones leave me dying alone, my enemy saves me by incurring in a thousand calamities. -I almost cried saying this.

-They say that death has no friends, but it has no enemies either, besides we are the same being, I had to do it.

-You surprise me, it's not that I'm prejudiced, but that you have acted in a very horrible way, you know. -I explain to him, remembering that we go in a car that lights up in the back because of a blow, my head hurts remembering it. -How long has it been?

-A week, it's not much, you'd better eat this. -He places a handful of tuna I take out of a can.

-How come I remember that I ran with you?

-You were under the effect of all that drug that the apothecary, may she rest in peace, stuffed you with, you acted automatically, you looked like a zombie, seriously, you even left a trail of drool. -He laughs while he helps me to sit up, I feel more than four wounds, I ask him the reason.

-I ask him the reason: "Because of what I told you, they shot at us while we were escaping, I also suffered several wounds and blows, do you remember how they hit us with that missile that sent us to the bottom of that ravine, where we escaped by miracle, it was a crazy thing.

-I remember something about the missile, hey, but we have to recover, to make a portal that will take us out of this place, we only have three more worlds to go around, I guess so, besides worse situations we have vindicated ourselves.

-That's my Estiben, that's the winning attitude, although we are badly wounded in this cave without technology, you have faith that we can create a portal and capture a machine that thinks it's human and that has absorbed the knowledge of seven lands so far, that was undoubtedly what pushed me to save you.

-I thank you, in the same way, two heads think better than one, I know we will replace a way to achieve it, Mr. Conqueror.

-You conqueror, you gallant man, you even slept with my wife.

-Your wife is very pretty, the only bad thing is that she's a slut. -Beard looks at me petrified and in a second he laughs and cackles:

-I chose her because she won a contest for the most beautiful woman on the planet, and it turned out that she would be crowned by anyone. -According to her it was because you didn't pay attention to her and left her craving in bed.

-that's nonsense, someone without honor that justifies her faults with anything, look at you, what did it cost those women to share you, they could do it for days or something like that; Dr. Yací could have understood it easier, I have known of wives that give adult toys to their husbands or even pay them strippers, I don't see the pride in having someone for only one, if at the slightest opportunity they go with someone else, society is full of nonsense created by insecure losers, a nova hunter would never invent something like marriage.

-You preach it and you got married.

-That's why I say it, I was only able to get a woman to sleep with me, taking her to the altar, or showering her with gifts and properties, I could not be like those men who meet a woman and that same day they get laid. It was a trauma for that reason I dedicated myself fully to science, it was beautiful, because it gave me the knowledge to take possession of the planet, to change it at my whim and that was when I decided that I deserved the most beautiful woman on the planet, to compensate for my years of loneliness and abstinence.

-The prettiest and least faithful woman, similar to the bald man's wife.

-there's no comparison, that lady was already withered.

-I don't understand why she became ugly in such a short time, but that lady was hot.

-I understand that she also used him, she only wanted him for his possessions and the secrets she could steal from him to sell.

-Yes, besides the money for her and her husband who took him to work with the bald guy, even when that Estiben discovered her, the bitch blamed him for it, because he neglected her, because he spent all his time working alone, it's like you said.

-If Galán is like that, the one who is correct does not tempt himself no matter how much need he lives with, on the other hand, the rogue always seeks to take advantage of others.

-Beard, you enjoyed having a very beautiful wife anyway.

-Of course, that was like being with a work of art, that reminds me of a story that is not mine, it is of a great writer, I do not know if in your planet also this one, there is a very beautiful princess, of great fortune, her father demands her to marry because she is going to reach a certain age in which she will be considered old, she is very intelligent, she places only one condition that she will marry the gentleman who guesses her riddle, that consists of three chests, one of gold, another of silver and one of wood, in the first one has an inscription that says: "Everyone loves me, everyone wants me, everyone wants me, everyone wants me":

Everyone loves me, everyone wants me

Because they are illuminated by my false brightness

Although someday it will be over

And end in bones and balk.

The second one said:

I am loved by those who decide

That the first is popular

And they will be disappointed

When I end up on their palate

While the third said:

I don't offer much

I'll ask you first

I will also give you

And I will raise your spirits.

Kings and nobles came from all over the world, most of them because they esteemed themselves more highly than the others, or because they considered the queen as a treasure, since her dowry was an enormous wealth, for they chose the one made of gold that had another paper inside that said:

Those who chose me

For me they lost their lives

To a metal to adore

For its shine alone

Some knights ventured to choose the silver one, thinking that all the kings would choose the gold one, and inside it said:

How strange to think

And what a hard regret

The one who loved me

And then undid me

He threw me on the floor

For leaving his pocket smooth

Only a young scientist named Estiben analyzed the situation and chose the wooden one, the princess burst into tears and asked him for the reason, this handsome young man answered her:

-Simple, princess, even if you are royalty, born in golden quan and you do not lack silver, I consider that you are above all a human being, that like the wood someday will age and lose its beauty, your fortune can also fade, only what you really are will remain, your qualities and virtues like lifting my spirits when I get home from work and other things.

The princess, crying, opened the chest, in it there was a small key, it was the one that would open the lock of her chastity panties.

-And what else happened, Don Barbas?

-Well, they lived happily ever after, until the scientist invented a substance with which he could turn the ugly ones into beautiful ones, and he called it beer.

-that reminds me of my grandfather's saying "both the pretty one and the ugly one, poop and pee".
