Breaking an Unspoken Bond

The young Aaron and Jose Luis have been friends since they were small boys growing up in Collado Villalba, a small hillside town in Spain. Eventually, their childish pranks began to burgeon into a mischievous mission, as the two befriended a free-spirited and rebellious foreign newcomer to Spain Lavinia de Granada. Her air of mysticism and charm ran through the old city and brought a spark of determination to their plan to put an end to the four year friendship of the town’s beloved boys, Ivan Castellanos and Xavier Simon.

The trio then set about their task, and each night brought a new escapade riddled with intrigue and the threat of being discovered by the traditional villagers of the hillside. Through a concoction of mind-bending characters and mysterious old gods, the mischievous adventurers fashioned a series of fast-paced events that brought chaos to the little town. Old households were woken as late-night get-togethers occurred, while secret assignments connived in hidden alleys and doorways - a foolish gamboling that led to the entire town taking direct notice of their misadventures.

Sacred artifacts were stolen, initiation rites taken, and truthfully nefarious activities sanctioned, all in the unfortunate but fervent secrecy misguided to ensure that this most heinous of plans was carried out to its malicious conclusion. The meddling Aaron, Jose Luis, and Lavinia made certain of this, unaware of the forces even greater than their combined notion of rebelliousness that pushed forth their mission, as if it were in tribute to a higher power.

But eventually this bridge stirred by the conquests of the three was painstakingly uncrossed, with an epic evening party serving as the test of this dangerous connection's power. The old gods observed quietly in the towns old church academy, strung along by the combined efforts of Aaron, Jose Luis, and Lavinia, a trinity forged as by divine will. Things seemed to be back to normal when suddenly a shout of protest arose from Ivan and Xavier, with their friendship gloriously intact.

The reunited friends advanced upon the conspirators in joy, refusing any form of punishment before leaving them all in shock. The whole town far surpassed by the power of friendship shared by two, the three characters slowly come to understand the true magnitude of their crime - something Ivan Curtiz and Xavier were born to confront, only with the help of Aaron, Jose Luis, and Lavinia’s unwitting attempts.

They parted ways in peace just as quickly as the winds had brought them together, evidence of their actions cawing quietly on the edges of their memories. The power of a friendship was the ultimate victor in this story, a common but never-forgotten message revealed by a trio that had only wished to understand it. None of them ever really understood what had happened, but an even greater force of truth was able to move between them a promise never to break a bond this strong.
