And  as  we  went  approaching  to  it,  a  penetrating  and  sweet  smell  was  the  first  that
               caught our attention. It was a fragancy as sandal incense which resulted so out of place there
               that  we  looked  each  other  perplexed.  Both  recognized  in  the  act  such  perfume  for  having
               perceived it before, in different and dramatic circumstances: Uncle Kurt, in the Tibetan Valley
               of La Brea; and I in the cell of Belicena Villca, the night of her death. But this just lasted a
               moment because what came then concentrated all our attention.



               Chapter XIII


                      It was seen that they would not be common huma beings. At midway, when we didn’t
               separate us from the plane of the door yet and were not completely visible from there, this was
               opened at a stroke to leave pass for two men of enormous body. One jumped outside and the
               other remained in the threshold: contrasted by an inner light, we had in front of us the two
               Asian Gentlemen, impeaccably dressed with their English suits of fine confection.
                      The first who went out was Bera, wielding a handgrip with two globes, the fatal Dordje.
               Instantaneously  he  lifted  the  weapon  against  Uncle  Kurt,  at  the  time  that  his  face  was
               decomposed of terror. I comprehended that the human Demon was not seeing Uncle Kurt but
               the Sign of the Origin, the Absolute Truth of the Spirit that dissolved the Essential Lie of its
               own illusory existence.
                      Notwithstanding I was going to shoot the mortal ray, but Uncle Kurt was faster. On the
               run, almost without aiming, he pulled the trigger; and it was enough. The gunshot took Bera in
               the  midst  of  the  chest,  it  lifted  hima  meter,  and  thrown  him  many  meters  beyond.
               Simultaeously, I who was not precisely a professional command, stopped, aimed, and shot two
               times,  impacting  in  the  stomach  and  in  the  chest  of  the  Demon  Birsha.  The  eighteen
               ammunition, wisely spread by such magnificent weapon, crushed Birsha against the doorframe
               without giving him time for anything.
                      –Soon! –Screamed Uncle Kurt, at seeing that nothing had remained stationary, resisting
               myself to believe that everything ended–. Quicly, prepare the acid, Arturo! Hurry up, before
               Avalokiteshvara be manifested!
                      –Avalokitesh…? –I asked surprised–. Gods! Avalokiteshvara, the Merciful! That was
               the  fail  in  my  plan,  about  Captain  Kiev  warned  us  veiled!  He  had  forgotten  to
               Avalokiteshvara, now he was it clear, and that forgetfulness could make fail the plan,
               even  cost  our  lives!  The  Great  Mother  would  never  permit  that  two  of  her  best
               children be destroyed: protect her children animal-men, calm the fear of their Souls!
               And if she achieved to erase the fear fear of Bera and Birsha, just appease it, all my
               plan  would  fall  as  a  Castle  of  cards!  We  could  even  suffer  a  counterattack  of  the
               Demons, already recovered, who then would know in which World find us!
                      To evaluate these possibilities paralyzed me. I untied the ropes laboriously and I wnet
               down the carafe of acid of my back. Uncle Kurt displaying his extraordinary ability had already
               extracted the heart of Bera, replacing it by a horrible gap by which emanated abundant blood,
