Si cada día que pasa u cuerpo se
desgastara, por muy duro que fuera, ¿no harías lo posible por salvarte?
Es esta precisamente la causa por la que
surgió un hecho imposible, algo que ni en mil años creí posible, una pluma con
vida propia.
Era algo tan irracional, era algo mágico,
lo que todo mundo cree ficción, que llegue creer que me había vuelto loca.
Esta era una pluma común y corriente en
un principio, con mordiscos tanto en la tapa como la punta y el tapón de la
parte de abajo, sus inscripciones de color negro resaltando la marca y el tipo
de punta que poseía, tenía inscrito un
código y la marca en el mismo color del tubo, amarillo, se encontraba algo
manchado, el orificio que tenía en la parte media me recordaba a una ballena,
me imaginaba que lo era, perdiendo mi tiempo en imaginaciones sin hace tarea,
no tenía mucho tiempo de estar ocupándola, por lo tanto tenía aun casi toda la
tinta, en conclusión estaba igual que todas mis plumas, maltratada.
Todo ocurrió un martes por la noche,
mientras escribía un cuento para la clase de español, me encontraba a la mitad
de la redacción, frustrada por no encontrar la palabra correcta, repasaba una y
otra vez la lista de sinónimos, roía la pluma con los dientes, como si aquello
me tranquilizara, los lentes se bajaban hasta el puente de la nariz, de repente
un pequeño ruido llamó mi atención, más bien un alarido, un pequeño ¡Ah!, giré
la cabeza de un lado a otro azotando la pluma sobre la mesa y sonó de nuevo con
una vocecita apagada, me asome en la ventana y nada. Pensé que sería mi
imaginación, gracias a ello la chispa de mi mente se activó para terminar mi
precioso cuento.
A pesar de no hallar el motivo del ruido
y pensar que fue imaginario seguí
pensando en ello, algo muy extraño ocurrió en ese pequeñísimo instante.
El día siguiente ocurrió lo mismo de
todos los días la escuela, entregar tarea, platicar y otras actividades, pero
la inquietud no se iba, así que no era del todo normal, cosquilleaba en mi
mente como si fuera de suma importancia.
Por la noche volvía a mordisquear la
pluma, aburrida de estudiar y pérdida en un fantástico mundo.
-¡Basta! ¡Para ya!- gritó alguien
sacándome de mi ensoñación- me lastimas.
-¿Quién habla?, ¿Tu eres el de ayer?-
pregunte apuntando con la pluma- ¿Eres un elfo?- aventure.
- No soy el objeto con el que apuntas
a la nada- respondió entre dientes, si es que tenía.
-la pluma, pero…
-Lapicero- corrigió con tono herido,
me pregunté si no seguiría en mi ensoñación.
Me pique con fuerza en el brazo, con
la punta de la pluma, sin tapón, dolió mucho.
-¿Por qué haces eso?- preguntó
quejumbroso.
-Creí que soñaba, veo que no, sin
embargo, esto es imposible- dije desconcertada y muy en el fondo divertida con
algo más grande, miedo- ¿Cómo es que tienes vida?
- Por tus maltratos, ningún lapicero
tiene vida pero yo sí, no sé porque, sólo un día comencé a sentir dolor por tus
mordiscos, todo se hizo extraño, porque ya no era sólo pensar si ni también
sentir y ninguno de los demás podía hacerlo ni el nuevo- me callo como piedra
al hígado su reclamo, instintivamente lo solté al sentirlo blando, no fuera yo
a aplastarlo.
-Es raro, si los otros no pueden,
supongo que u eres único y esto sigue siendo imposible- repetí nerviosa,
tratando del que cerebro se acostumbrara, voltee la mirada.
En su lugar ya no había un lapicero,
sólo un charco amarillo con una pizca de negro. Suspire decepcionada, cuando,
el líquido se hizo viscoso y comenzó a formarse un pequeño hombrecillo
larguirucho, amarillo, cuando acabo se encontraba con una boina negra, sus
amarillos parpados cerrados con largas, la boca amarilla no mostraba expresión,
sus pequeñas manos contaban con largos, delgados u y lisos dedos, las uñas
negras, su vestimenta toda de color amarillo no podía definirse bien como para
saber qué era lo que portaba, sólo se definía una chaqueta y sus botas que bien
podían llegarle a las rodillas.
Cuando abrió los ojos fue algo hermoso
e impresionante, en un principio eran azules con un aro fuertemente plateado en
la pupila, después fue un remolino uno se volvía plateado y el otro azul, luego
viceversa o era un aro azul y el resto plata, el otro igual que en el
principio, azul, plata, plata, azul, un destello de colores hasta que concluyo
en un ojo azul con un aro plata y la pupila negra mientras que el otro era
plata con un aro azul y la pupila negra.
Mechones amarillos se movieron dejando
al descubierto sus puntiagudas orejas.
-Esto no paso ayer- dijo sorprendido y
asustado – ¡es genial!
-Shhh… Calla te escucharan, pero sí,
es ¡fantástico!- era hermosísimo y de ser algo real o no, sería mi amigo.
-¡Oye! No me calles, primero me
muerdes, me miras extraño y ahora me callas- inhalo molesto y su ombligo
surgió, el agujero que me recordaba a una ballena.
-lo siento, en verdad a veces no me doy cuenta de lo que haga, ¿me
perdonas?- tendí mi mano al diminuto hombrecillo, parecía joven.
-Claro, pero ten en cuenta que todos
sentimos, aun lo inesperado puede tener vida- estrecho su delgada mano a la
mía.
-Lo tendré siempre en cuenta- la
apretuje con cuidado.
Se quedó tieso, pero qué le ocurría,
me espante enormemente, su ombligo subía y bajaba, no se había muerto, se tensó
y la respiración se aceleró a más no poder, parpadeo desconcertado.
-¿Qué te ha pasado?- quise saber.
-Ahora sé porque tengo vida, y gracias
por lo menos puedo moverme.
-Y…
-Sí, soy un elfo y mi nombre es Izzy
Stradlin, soy el elfo guardián de mi pueblo y el malvado Rey de los duendes,
Merliorn me ha hechizado, un hechizo e sujeción a este lapicero y sólo durante
las noches cuando un humano de alma bondadosa me hable volveré a ser así, casi
como es mi verdadera forma pero no del todo igual, en el día volveré a ser un
lapicero.
-¡Qué horror!, sabes eres mi amigo y
yo te desharé el hechizo, buscare hasta debajo de las piedras y así te poder
conocer bien, físicamente- fue una especie de juramento.
-En verdad ¿eres mi amiga?- pregunto
emocionado e incrédulo.
-Sí, somos amigos- contesté.
Platicamos toda la noche hasta
quedarme dormida sobre la mesa, al despertar estaba debajo de mi mano, como si
lo cobijara y volvía a ser el mismo lapicero de siempre pero ahora tenía una
pizca de vida y mi cariño.
Los días pasaron, el me enseñaba cosas
maravillosas, me platico sobre sus colores que lo representaban y el poseía,
fueron pasando los meses, yo buscaba en los libros de magia y nada.
Llegaba ya el quinto mes y por fin
halle lo que buscábamos, él consiguió esa misma noche todo lo necesario, tenía
que practicar para no equivocarme.
Por el día era tan común y yo le veía
tan maravilloso, igual y nadie lo comprendía, durante todo el día lo portaba
con delicadeza, Izzy era mi mejor amigo.
Llego el momento esperado, se preparó
todo y entonces al decir las palabras, un remolino amarillo y negro surgió a su
alrededor, un destello segador lo ilumino todo.
Cuando termino, el lapicero descendía
en una caída rápida al piso, seguía igual, alcé la mirada y encontré a mi
amigo, tenía su chaqueta de cuero negro con una cadena en el bolsillo,
pantalones negros ajustados con las botas un poco debajo de las rodillas, portaba
una playera blanca que decía “Live fast, die Young”, su cabello igual que sus
ojos no dejaba de cambiar, de negro a rojo hasta concluir en un rojo
oscureciendo en las puntas de color negro, los labios se transformaban de
morado a negros y rojos, concluyeron en negro, era de tez clara, era bello.
-Así soy de verdad- dijo iluminado de
felicidad.
-eres bellísimo- alague.
-Gracias.
-Y ¿qué paso con tu pueblo?- inquirí
-Ellos han librado la guerra- sus
orejas se movieron y el cabello se tiño negro y los labios rojos.
Los ojos destellaron plateados con un
aro azul y la pupila negra.
-cambian constantemente, son mis
colores- explicó.
-Sí, me lo has contado, y es
hermosísimo.
Y todo volvió a ser como antes, sólo
que ahora tengo a mi mejor amigo, Izzy, he comprendido que nada es tan simple,
ni que la quietud significa muerta y que en ocasiones el dolor da vida.

Elf at home
If each day passes or body wore out, as hard as it was, would not you do their best to save you?
It is this precisely the cause for which he emerged an impossible fact, something not thought possible in a thousand years, a pen with life.
It was so irrational, it was magical, what everyone believes fiction that comes to believe that I was crazy.
This was an ordinary pen at first bite with both the lid and the top cap and bottom, their inscriptions in black highlighting the brand and type of end that he possessed, had inscribed a code and the mark on the tube color, yellow, was somewhat spotty, the hole was in the middle reminded me of a whale, I imagined that I was wasting my time imagining not do homework, did not have much time be occupying therefore still had most of the ink, in conclusion it was like all my pens, abused.
It happened on a Tuesday night, while writing a story for Spanish class, I found myself in the middle of writing, frustrated by not finding the right word, going over and over the list of synonyms, gnawing pen with teeth, as if that reassure me, the glasses down to the bridge of the nose, suddenly a small noise caught my attention, rather a shriek, a small Ah !, turned his head from side to side whipping pen on the table and rang again with a little voice off, I peeked in the window and nothing. I thought it was my imagination, thanks to that spark my mind went off to finish my beautiful story.
Despite not find the reason for the noise and think it was imaginary kept thinking about it, something very strange happened in that tiny instant.
The next day was the same everyday school, give homework, talk and other activities, but the concern is not going, so it was not quite normal, tickled my mind as if it were important.
At night nibble pen again, bored studying and lost in a fantasy world.
Enough!For Now - someone shouted me out of my reverie hurt me.
Who speaks ?, You're yesterday - pointing with his pen ask Are you an elf - aventure.
- I'm not the object that you aim at nothing-said between his teeth, if he had.
-the pen, but ...
-Lapicero- Corrected hurt tone, I wondered if I would continue in my reverie.
I down with arm strength, with the tip of the pen, no cap, it hurt a lot.
Why do you do that - he asked plaintively.
I thought I dreamed, I see not, however, say this is impossible bewildered and very funny in the background with something bigger, fear-How are you living?
- For your abuses, no pen has life but I do not know why, just one day started to feel sorrow for your bite, everything was strange because it was not just thinking about whether or also feel and none of the others could do nor again-callus stone me as liver your claim, I dropped instinctively to feel soft, I was not going to crush him.
It's odd, if others can not, I guess u are unique and this remains impossible repeated nervous, trying the brain is accustomed to, turn away.
Instead there was no longer a pen, just a yellow puddle with a hint of black. I sighed disappointed when the liquid became viscous and began to form a small lanky yellow man when I just met a black beret, its yellow eyelids closed with long, yellow face expressionless, her small hands had long , uy smooth thin fingers, black nails, its all yellow dress could not be defined well enough to know what he wore only a jacket and boots that could reach out to well-defined knees.
When she opened her eyes she was beautiful and impressive, at first they were blue with a hoop heavily plated in the pupil, then was a whirlwind one silver, one blue turned, then vice versa or was a blue ring and the rest silver, other as in the beginning, blue, silver, silver, blue, a flash of color to conclude that a blue eye with a silver ring and black pupil while the other was silver with a blue ring and the black pupil.
Yellow tufts moved revealing her pointed ears.
'This did not happen yesterday said surprised and scared - it's great!
Shhh ... Calla will listen, but it is fantastic - it was very beautiful and it is something real or not, would be my friend.
Hey! Do not streets, first bite me, now look at me strange and annoying me breathe Callas and his navel arose the hole reminded me of a whale.
-sorry indeed sometimes I do not realize what you do, you forgive me - I held out my hand to the tiny little man looked young.
Sure, but keep in mind that we all feel, even the unexpected can have life-narrow her slender hand to mine.
'm Always have in the account-apretuje carefully.
He stiffened, but what was wrong, I greatly afraid, your navel up and down, had not died, tensed and breathing quickened as could be, puzzled blink.
What happened to you - I wanted to know.
Now I know that I have life, and because at least I can move.
And ...
Yes, I'm an elf and my name is Izzy Stradlin, I am the elf guardian of my people and the evil King of the Elves, Merliorn has bewitched me, a spell and subject to the pen and only during nights when a human soul I will speak kindly to happen, almost like it is my true form but not quite the same, on the day I will be a pen.
!, Horror 'How do you know you're my friend and I will rid the spell, I will look under every stone and so you get to know well, physically was a kind of oath.
In truth you are my friend - I wonder excited and incredulous.
Yes, we are friends-answered.
We talked all night until I fell asleep on the table, waking was under my hand, as if he will shelter and was again the same pen as always but now had a bit of life and my love.
The days passed, he taught me wonderful things, me I talk about your colors and representing it possessed the months passed, I looked in the books of magic and nothing.
Already reached the fifth month and finally finds what he wanted, he got that night everything you need to practice had not mistaken.
By day it was so common and I looked so wonderful, and like no one understood it, all day carried it delicately, Izzy was my best friend.
Came the expected moment, prepared everything and then at the words, black and yellow swirl came around, it lit a spark reaper everything.
When I finish, the pen down in a rapid fall to the floor, was the same, looked up and met my friend, had his black leather jacket with a chain in his pocket, black tight pants with boots a little below the knees , wore a white shirt that said "Live fast, die Young", his hair like his eyes kept changing from black to red to conclude on a red at the tips of dark black color, the lips were transformed from purple to black and red, finished in black, was light-skinned, he was beautiful.
So I told the truth lit with happiness.
-you're bellísimo- Compliment them.
Thank you.
And what happened to your people - inquired
'They have waged the war and moved his ears black hair and red lips was stained.
The eyes flashed silver ring with a blue and black pupil.
constantly -cambian are my colours- explained.
Yes, you told me, and is very beautiful.
And everything became as before, only now I have my best friend, Izzy, I realized that nothing is as simple, or that stillness means dead and sometimes the pain gives life.
It was so irrational, it was magical, what everyone believes fiction that comes to believe that I was crazy.
