«Julius, vamos al bosque a jugar». Lou llamaba por celular a su amigo.
«No tengo ánimos, estoy con sueño». Julius bostezaba y se sobaba los ojos mientras hablaba con su amigo.
«Anímate, Julius, es el último día de vacaciones».
«Ok, ok. Nos vemos en el parque en una hora». Julius se levantaba sosamente.
Después de una hora, los chicos se encontraban en el parque y se encaminaban hacia el bosque. El día pintaba un bello sol resplandeciente en lo alto del firmamento.
Los chicos corrían rápidamente y después de unos minutos, llegaron hasta el río. Un lugar a donde solo iban ellos y era su secreto.
Los chicos se prepararon para hacer sus famosos clavados, desde la enorme rama de un árbol viejo.
«Mírame, Lou, te dejaré sin palabras con este salto. Jaja». Julius se movía por la rama como un clavadista profesional.
«Deja de presumir y has el clavado. Jaja». Lou grababa con su celular a su amigo.
En ese momento, Lou miraba por el celular una esfera en el cielo que se movía rápidamente de un lado a otro. Lou abría los ojos al máximo de sus cuentas, nunca había visto algo así en su vida.
«¿Qué pasa, Lou?»
«Mira». Lou apuntaba al cielo.
Julius levantaba el rostro y abría la boca ante aquel fenómeno tan extraordinario. Aquella esfera luminosa se dirigía los chicos, quienes al ver esto sintieron mucho terror. Julius bajaba rápidamente del árbol y junto con Lou salían corriendo del lugar. Llegaron hasta un claro del bosque y pararon para sosegar un momento.
«¿Qué era esa cosa?». Julius colocaba las manos en las rodillas tratando de recuperar el aliento.
«No sé y no me gustaría averiguarlo. Vámonos de aquí». Lou tomaba a su amigo del brazo.
Cuando se disponían a seguir corriendo, una luz incandescente los cegó por un instante. Los chicos gritaron, mientras se tapaban los ojos.
«No se asusten. No les haré daño». Una voz potente, pero llena de paz salió de aquella luz.
Los chicos abrieron los ojos y frente a ellos estaba aquella esfera con ruedas que tenían ojos girando alrededor y unas grandes alas que despedían un polvo brillante. La esfera flotaba y los chicos se sobaban los ojos, tratando de deshacer aquella ilusión óptica, pero por más que lo hacían la esfera seguía ahí, flotando y despidiendo el polvo brillante.
Lou cobró valor y se dirigió a la esfera.
«¿Qué cosa eres?».
«Soy un Ophanim o lo que ustedes conocen como ángel».
Julius se acercaba y replicaba.
«Disculpa, pero tú no te pareces a las imágenes que tiene mi mamá en la casa».
«Los ángeles con forma humana son una inventiva humana y están fuera de toda realidad celestial».
«Rayos, nos han estado mintiendo todo este tiempo». Lou miraba a su amigo.
«Entendimos todo, pero, ¿Por qué estás aquí?». Julius miraba fijamente a la esfera.
«Vine a llevarlos conmigo. El último tiempo ha llegado y la gran tribulación ha iniciado».
«Estas loco. No puedo dejar a mi familia». Lou daba media para disponerse a huir.
«No puedes escapar, Lou, debes venir conmigo, al igual que Julius. Su destino no lo pueden evitar».
«No puedes hacernos esto, Tenemos una vida aquí. No podemos irnos de la noche a la mañana y dejarlo todo». Julius se unía al reclamo de su amigo.
«No pueden evitar lo inevitable, en pocas horas este mundo será destruido para darle paso al nuevo orden». El Ophanim empezaba a volar. «Les doy una hora para que se despidan de sus seres queridos, luego vendrán conmigo».
El Ophanim desaparecía en el aire y los chicos se miraban, no podían creer lo que acaban de ver y de lo que habían escuchado de aquel ser. Sin perder tiempo fueron hasta sus hogares, todo parecía normal. Luego, los dos amigos se encontraron en el parque.
«Lou, ¿cómo te fue?».
«Todo parece normal. ¿No sería que ambos tuvimos una alucinación?». Julius miraba al cielo.
«No sé qué creer. Deberíamos decirles a nuestras familias».
«¿Tú crees que nos crean?». Julius miraba desconsolado a su amigo.
Lou agachaba la cabeza y se quedaba en silencio. Julius daba unas palmaditas a su amigo. Lou levantaba la cabeza al bello cielo veraniego.
«Tal vez fue una alucinación, mira el cielo».
Los chicos se quedaron mirando al cielo, mientras los minutos pasaban. Algo dentro de Julius le hacía sentir una angustia terrible.
«Lou, debemos intentar decirles, no perdamos el tiempo. ¡Vamos!». Los chicos corrían rápidamente.
Llegaron a la casa de Julius, y empezaron relatar todo lo que les había dicho el Ophanim, ellos reían al escuchar la historia inverosímil. Todo era infructuoso y la hora había terminado. Lou y Julius salían decepcionados.
«se acabó el tiempo, Julius». Los chicos miraban al cielo.
Los minutos corrían y nada pasaba. Los ojos de los chicos seguían mirando fijamente al cielo.
«¡No pasa nada! Jaja». Lou reía sin parar.
«Parece que fuimos víctimas de algún alucinógeno. Jaja». Julius suspiraba profundamente.
«Vamos para mi cuarto, hay una nueva canción de mi grupo favorito».
Los chicos escuchaban la música, cuando de repente se quedaron dormidos profundamente. Después de un momento, Julius se levantó sobresaltado y vio que el cuarto estaba lleno de neblina, movió a Lou, quien despertó y no sabía lo que pasaba. Frente a ellos apareció el Ophanim.
«Bienvenidos, chicos, sean salvos de entre todos los mortales».
«¿Dónde estamos?». Lou estaba aterrorizado.
«Este es el paraíso». Frente a ellos se abría una puerta. «Deben pasar al otro lado».
«¿Y qué paso en la tierra?». Julius miraba expectante.
El Ophanim hizo aparecer una pantalla y en ella se mostraba el terrible apocalipsis que se vivía en el mundo, todo era fuego, sufrimiento y dolor. Nada escapaba a la destrucción que se había desatado. Los chicos lloraban al ver esas terribles imágenes.
«No lloren más, chicos. Así deben ser las cosas. Ahora debemos pasar al otro lado». El Ophanim volaba hasta la puerta.
«¿Y nuestras familias?», preguntaban los chicos al unísono.
«Lo descubrirán al otro lado de la puerta». Una luz intensa lleno el lugar.
Lou y Julius pasaron la puerta y se desvanecieron en la niebla del lugar.

"Julius, let's go to the forest and play." Lou was calling his friend on his cell phone.
"I have no mood, I'm sleepy." Julius was yawning and rubbing his eyes as he talked to his friend.
"Cheer up, Julius. It's the last day of vacation."
"OK, ok. See you at the park in an hour." Julius was getting up quietly.
After an hour, the boys were in the park and heading towards the forest. The day painted a beautiful sun shining high in the sky.
The boys ran quickly and after a few minutes, they reached the river. A place where only they went and it was their secret.
The guys got ready to make their famous dives, from the huge branch of an old tree.
"Look at me, Lou, I'll leave you speechless with this jump. Haha." Julius was moving along the branch like a professional diver.
"Stop showing off and you've nailed it. Haha." Lou was recording his friend with his cell phone.
At that moment, Lou was looking through the cell phone at a sphere in the sky that was moving quickly from side to side. Lou was opening his eyes to the fullest of his beads, he had never seen anything like this in his life.
"What's the matter, Lou?"
"Look." Lou was pointing to the sky.
Julius raised his face and opened his mouth at this extraordinary phenomenon. That luminous sphere was heading towards the children, who felt very terrified when they saw this. Julius quickly climbed down from the tree and together with Lou they ran out of the place. They came to a clearing in the forest and stopped to calm down for a moment.
"What was that thing?" Julius was placing his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.
"I don't know and I wouldn't like to find out. Let's get out of here." Lou took his friend's arm.
As they were about to continue running, an incandescent light blinded them for an instant. The boys screamed, while covering their eyes.
"Don't be frightened. I won't hurt them." A powerful voice, but full of peace came out of that light.
The boys opened their eyes and in front of them was that sphere with wheels that had eyes spinning around and big wings that gave off a bright dust. The sphere was floating and the boys were rubbing their eyes, trying to undo that optical illusion, but no matter how hard they did it the sphere was still there, floating and giving off the glowing dust.
Lou gathered courage and headed for the sphere.
"What thing are you?"
"I am an Ophanim or what you know as an angel."
Julius approached and replied.
"I'm sorry, but you don't look like the pictures my mom has in the house."
"Angels in human form are a human invention and are outside of any heavenly reality."
"Damn, they've been lying to us all this time." Lou was looking at his friend.
"We understood everything, but why are you here?" Julius was staring intently at the sphere.
"I came to take them with me. The last time has come and the great tribulation has begun."
"You're crazy. I can't leave my family." Lou turned to leave.
"You can't escape, Lou, you must come with me, just like Julius. Their fate cannot be avoided."
"You can't do this to us, we have a life here. We can't just leave overnight and leave everything." Julius was joining his friend's claim.
"They cannot avoid the inevitable, in a few hours this world will be destroyed to make way for the new order." The Ophanim was starting to fly. "I give them an hour to see their loved ones and then they will come with me."
The Ophanim disappeared into thin air and the boys looked at each other, they could not believe what they had just seen and what they had heard from that being. Without wasting time they went to their homes, everything seemed normal. Then the two friends met in the park.
"Lou, how did it go?"
"Everything seems normal. Didn't we both have a hallucination?" Julius was looking at the sky.
"I don't know what to believe. We should tell our families."
"Do you think they believe us?" Julius looked disconsolately at his friend.
Lou hung his head and remained silent. Julius was patting his friend. Lou was raising her head to the beautiful summer sky.
"Maybe it was a hallucination, look at the sky."
The boys stared up at the sky as the minutes ticked by. Something inside Julius was making him feel terrible anguish.
"Lou, we should try to tell them, let's not waste time. Let's go!». The boys were running fast.
They arrived at Julius's house, and began to relate everything that the Ophanim had told them, they laughed when they heard the implausible story. Everything was fruitless and the hour was over. Lou and Julius were disappointed.
"time's up, Julius." The boys were looking at the sky.
The minutes were running and nothing was happening. The boys' eyes were still staring at the sky.
"It's all right! Haha." Lou was laughing non-stop.
"It seems that we were victims of some hallucinogen. Haha." Julius was sighing deeply.
"Let's go to my room, there's a new song by my favorite band."
The boys were listening to the music, when suddenly they fell into a deep sleep. After a moment, Julius got up startled and saw that the room was full of haze, he moved Lou, who woke up and did not know what was happening. The Ophanim appeared in front of them.
"Welcome, boys. Be saved from among all mortals."
"Where are we?" Lou was terrified.
"This is paradise." A door was opening in front of them. "You must pass to the other side."
"And what happened on earth?" Julius watched expectantly.
The Ophanim made a screen appear and it showed the terrible apocalypse that was happening in the world, everything was fire, suffering and pain. Nothing escaped the destruction that had been unleashed. The kids were crying when they saw those terrible images.
"Don't cry anymore, guys. That's the way things should be. Now we must pass to the other side." The Ophanim was flying up to the door.
"And our families?" the boys asked in unison.
"They'll find out on the other side of the door." An intense light filled the place.
Lou and Julius passed the door and vanished into the fog of the place.
