Cuento (Intro)

Erase una vez,
Un país en el que sus habitantes podían ser felices, pero no lo eran.
En el que la justicia,
La ética y el amor podían ser cotidianas, pero no lo eran.
La mentira era una opción errónea pero
Sus habitantes la utilizaban constantemente.
El odio, junto con la violencia, separaba los reinos del país.
El responsable de todo esto se llamaba Miedo.
Era un mago malvado.
Vivía recluido contando monedas y esperando a que el germen del odio
Contaminara toda esperanza,
Que cualquier noche, pudiera salir el sol.
Los niños nacían y crecían educados por el Miedo, y
Poco a poco, tras pasar los años,
Todo recuerdo de felicidad se esfumó.
El hechizo del mago transformó a sus habitantes en dóciles borregos.
Hasta que un día, tras largas décadas de alimentarse con la hierba
Que les daba el potente mago,
Una de esas ovejas decidió salirse del rebaño.
En un descuido de este, se escapó.
Comenzó a caminar guiada por su instinto.
Transcurrido largo tiempo, comenzaron a rugirle las tripas.
Tenía tanta hambre que se hubiera comido cualquier cosa.
Apartada, entre unos matojos, encontró una pila de libros viejos.
Instigada por una necesidad imperiosa,
Hizo que el hambre los convirtiera a sus ojos en un sabroso manjar.
Comenzó a devorarlos vorazmente hasta que acabo con todos ellos.
Saciada y con la tripa llena, se tiró a un lado a descansar.
Aquella noche,
Tuvo uno de los sueños más bonitos de su
Vida, en el que recordaba que una vez fue humana.

Story (Intro)

Once upon a time,
There was a nation whose inhabitants could be happy, but they were not.
Where justice,
Ethics and love could be commonplace, but they were not.
Lying was a wrong choice, but
Its inhabitants used it constantly.
Hatred, along with violence, divided the kingdoms of the country.
The person responsible for all this was called Fear.
He was an evil wizard.
He lived in seclusion, counting coins and waiting for the germ of hatred
To contaminate all hope,
So that the sun might rise any night.
Children were born and raised educated by Fear, and
Little by little, as the years passed,
Every memory of happiness vanished.
The wizard's spell transformed his inhabitants into docile sheep.
Until one day, after long decades of feeding on the grass
That the powerful wizard gave them,
One of those sheep decided to leave the flock.
In a moment of carelessness, she escaped.
She began to walk, guided by her instinct.
After a long time, her stomach began to rumble.
She was so hungry that she would have eaten anything.
Off to the side, among some bushes, she found a pile of old books.
Driven by an urgent need,
She made hunger turn them into a delicious delicacy in her eyes.
She began to devour them voraciously until she had finished them all.
Sated and with her belly full, she lay down to rest.
That night,
She had one of the most beautiful dreams of her
Life, in which she remembered that she was once human.
