<center><h2>EL DÍA NÚMERO 22</h2></div></center>

Betania cada vez estaba más angustiada porque llegara el día número veintidós, bajo el yugo del calendario de los dioses de neón que miraban a la Tierra con severidad. Había sido escogida junto con otras veintiún mujeres de cuarta década, para verter su sangre a muerte para el gran «Sanyún», único dios de neón entre los hombres. Los soliaris sabían que de no hacer el sacrificio, Sanyún le advertiría a sus hermanos y destruirían el mundo. Pero a Betania no le importaba, ella solo quería sobrevivir; librarse del sacrificio para luego escapar de la ciudad.

Intentó reemplazarse con Hortensia, una vecina de su misma edad, y quien era perfecta ya que ella no tenía miedo por ser sacrificada, pero su plan se desmoronó cuando fue enviada por los Alfas a la ciudad vecina de «Ocintus», quedándose con las esperanzas derrumbadas. 

Detestaba la tradición y a todos los dioses de neón. Cada día veintidós después de terminado un ciclo anual, veintidós mujeres mayores de cuarenta años debían ser sacrificadas, ya que sus órganos sexuales no eran útiles para la sociedad. Betania aún sentía que podía dar muchas cosas, no solo era un hueso para roer, sino un gran espíritu, buscando la alegría entre parrandas y fiestas.

Era el día número veinte, el cielo comenzaba a tornarse lila y el las brisas de la tarde poco a poco descendían; esa eran señales de que pronto se despertará Sanyún de su sueño. Betania estaba preocupada, cada segundo que pasaba era una aniquilación a un trozo de su vida. Había otra forma de escapar al sacrificio, pero esta no era viable para ella. Las mujeres que se negaban a sacrificarse para Sanyún, eran lanzadas a las arboledas «Narim», para convertirse en brujas.

Poco sabía Betania sobre las brujas y lo que hacían. Las leyendas decían que cuando una mujer se convertía en bruja, se transformaba en pantera, en oso o en búho, y difícilmente volvían a su forma original, y cuando lo hacían, solo les duraba poco tiempo. Betania no quería ser ninguno de esos animales, así que comenzó a pensar en otro plan que la librara de su destino.

Había llegado finalmente el día número veintidós, las nubes, los rayos del sol, las montañas a lo lejos e incluso la grama y las hojas de los árboles, se tornaron de color lila. La gran roca donde dormía el dios Sanyún se estremecía, mientras todas las mujeres a sacrificar ya estaban preparadas. Betania temblaba de miedo mientras veía que la gran roca se abría, saliendo imponente vestido de plasma lavanda el dios mensajero de los neones.

Betania no pudo más y soltó un alarido de miedo, suplicando piedad. Los demás la miraron con sorpresa y suspenso. El dios Sanyún la miró con enfado y la señaló. Los Alfas la tomaron y la arrastraron con brutalidad hacia el bosque, mientras ella seguía rogando por su vida: «¡Por favor, no quiero ser una bruja!», gritaba con desesperación con ríos de lágrimas corriendo por sus mejillas.

Fue amarrada inerte a los pies del bosque de Narim, y luego de que los Alfas se esfumaran; unos minutos después, fue arrastrada por manos fantasmales hacia el corazón del bosque. Se había desmayado del miedo, pero finalmente despertó. Al recobrar la conciencia, lo primero que notó fue que estaba desamarrada. Estaba rodeada de mujeres que la observaban fijamente, y un gran ser; tan imponente como un caribú, la vislumbraba fijamente con sus ojos destellantes color ámbar.

No estaba segura si eran brujas; no había panteras, ni osos, ni búhos alrededor. La gran criatura extendió su brazo musculado hacia Betania, y ella, con un poco de temor la tomó. Las brujas de Narim solo bailaban cada noche, para alejar de sus altares la influencia de los dioses de neón. Cada noche, en la cima de un gran árbol, Betania observa las luces de Soliaris con sus ojos imponentes de búho.

<center><h2>DAY NUMBER 22</h2></div></center>

Bethany was increasingly anxious for the twenty-second day to arrive, under the yoke of the calendar of the neon gods who looked at the Earth with severity. She had been chosen along with twenty-one other women of the fourth decade, to shed their blood to death for the great "Sanyun", the only neon god among men. The soliaris knew that if she did not make the sacrifice, Sanjun would warn her brothers and they would destroy the world. But Bethany did not care, she only wanted to survive; to get rid of the sacrifice and then escape from the city.

She tried to replace herself with Hortensia, a neighbor of her own age, and who was perfect since she was not afraid of being sacrificed, but her plan fell apart when she was sent by the Alphas to the neighboring city of "Ocintus", leaving her with her hopes dashed. 

She detested tradition and all the neon gods. Every twenty-second day after the end of an annual cycle, twenty-two women over the age of forty were to be sacrificed, as their sexual organs were of no use to society. Betania still felt that she could give many things, she was not only a bone to gnaw, but a great spirit, looking for joy between parrandas and parties.

It was the twentieth day, the sky was beginning to turn lilac and the afternoon breezes were slowly descending; these were signs that Sanyún would soon wake up from her sleep. Bethany was worried, every second that passed was an annihilation of a piece of her life. There was another way to escape the sacrifice, but this was not viable for her. Women who refused to sacrifice for Sanjun were thrown into the "Narim" groves to become witches.

Little did Bethany know about witches and what they did. Legends said that when a woman became a witch, she was transformed into a panther, a bear or an owl, and they hardly ever returned to their original form, and when they did, it only lasted a short time. Bethany did not want to be any of those animals, so she began to think of another plan that would free her from her fate.

The twenty-second day had finally arrived, the clouds, the sun's rays, the mountains in the distance and even the grass and leaves of the trees turned lilac. The great rock where the god Sanjun slept trembled, while all the women to be sacrificed were already prepared. Bethany trembled with fear as she saw the great rock open, and the messenger god of the neons, dressed in lavender plasma, came out imposingly.

Bethany could not stand it any longer and let out a scream of fear, begging for mercy. The others looked at her with surprise and suspense. The god Sanjun looked at her angrily and pointed at her. The Alphas grabbed her and dragged her brutally into the forest, while she continued to beg for her life: "Please, I don't want to be a witch!" she cried in desperation with rivers of tears running down her cheeks.

She was tied limp at the foot of the forest of Narim, and after the Alphas vanished; a few minutes later, she was dragged by ghostly hands into the heart of the forest. She had fainted from fear, but finally awoke. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she noticed was that she was unmoored. She was surrounded by women staring at her, and a large being; as imposing as a caribou, was staring at her with its flashing amber eyes.

She was not sure if they were witches; there were no panthers, no bears, no owls around. The large creature extended its muscular arm toward Bethany, and she, with some trepidation took it. The witches of Narim only danced every night, to keep the influence of the neon gods away from their altars. Every night, at the top of a great tree, Bethany watches the lights of Soliaris with her imposing owl eyes.
