    About this ebook

    Hechicero 'The Legend Begins' is the first installment of the Hechicero Trilogy. It is about a young Texas man named Angel whose bride Elizabeth is murdered by his rival and half-brother Raven. While Raven is busy forming a criminal enterprise and engaging with dark forces, Angel finds an obsidian amulet which he then learns is tied to his destiny. After Elizabeth is murdered Angel decides to seek out Raven and get revenge. Along the way, Angel meets up with his two future crime fighting sidekicks, Michael and Gogee who were exiled from their respective kingdoms of heaven and hell for causing problems. They all join forces against the villain Raven, Carlos 'the man with the scar,' and the brujo demonic spirit Hechicero. The story is a powerful mix of non-stop action, and excitement. Mixing elements of the supernatural, with love, crime, and wry humor, Hechicero is the one story which you do not want to miss.

      Hechicero

      The Legend Begins

      By Frank Solis Copyright 2021

      Chapter One

      THE WIND HOWLED VICIOUSLY over the small town of Presidio, Texas, as clouds of dust went flying by threatening to punish the face of anyone who dared venture outdoors. Two young men were about to face off over the love of a young woman. Raven and Angel, two more different personalities could not be found anywhere. Raven had dark brooding eyes which seemed to look right through you; he also had a penchant for mischief and was prone to violence. It was rumored that his tía Dona Márquez was a bruja, a witch who practiced black magic. It was also rumored that she was the reason for the drought in the area in which so many cattle and sheep had perished. On the other hand, Angel was a young man who many of the townspeople liked, as he was kind to everyone, and always took care of his grandmother Doña María.

      It was three in the afternoon, and the sun was almost totally obscured by the horrible dust storm. The devils wind El viento del diablo, the townspeople called it, swept down off the nearby mountains when the spring rain came. Elizabeth, Angel’s girlfriend tried in vain to shield her eyes from the sand that seemed to be everywhere. She had hoped to speak with Angel on her way home from school, but he was nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, on the edge of Presidio, Raven waited. His lips forming a scowl as he toyed with the switchblade in his pocket. Angel believed, that if he confronted Raven, that he would come to realize that Elizabeth was his girlfriend. So, you came, coward? Raven’s eyes narrowed like those of a snake and they burned with hate as he walked toward Angel. Why don’t you just leave us alone? You know that I’m the one she loves! replied Angel. Oh, I don’t care about love altar boy; I just want to be naked in bed with her! With that, fury rose up in Angel’s heart, like the rising dust storm wind, which was now blinding his eyes. Anger clouded his mind, as Raven lunged at him, and they engaged in a furious fistfight until Angel got the better of Raven, knocking him down hard upon the windswept ground. Raven, looked up at Angel with bloodied lips, and stammered, Okay, okay, I give up ese!

      Then let that be the end of it, replied Angel, as he turned to walk away. Angel had only taken a few steps, when he felt the burning pain in his back, as Raven stabbed him over and over with his switchblade. The parched ground greedily drank up Angel’s blood as it flowed from his wounds. In the howling wind, Raven’s laughter arose mocking Angel, as he gloated over his tainted victory. He then walked away and left Angel behind to die in the Texas heat. Several hours later a sheep herder who was passing by, found Angel and took him home. His grandmother tended to him as best she could until the town doctor arrived. I think the boy will be alright Doña María, luckily the knife’s blade did not hit any vital organs. I have bandaged his wounds and am leaving him some medication in case of infection. What he needs now, is plenty of rest.

      Gracias Doctor López, muchas gracias. His grandmother seemed relieved by the news that Angel would be okay.

      Later that evening, loud pounding on the door echoed throughout the small wood frame house. Doña María went to open it. Doña María , I’m Sheriff Delgado. Someone reported that Angel was in a fight and I came out to investigate, Como esta Ángel?

      The doctor says he will be okay, Sheriff Delgado, but for now we just have to wait and see. After the sheriff spoke with Angel and finished asking him questions, he went to search for Raven. Doña María lit a candle to the Virgin of Guadalupe, praying that everything would come out alright. Later that night, Raven was arrested and charged with attempted murder due to the fact that Angel’s wounds were all located in his back. Six months later, Raven was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to fifteen years in prison.  

      Several years had passed since Raven’s trial, and memories of the fight were long obscured in Angel’s mind by the death of his beloved grandmother, Doña María. Angel was now working for a rich rancher who owned a great deal of property at the foot of the nearby mountains. Occasionally, he had to go in search of stray cattle or sheep. Then one day, as Angel was searching for strays, he took shelter in a cave from an approaching thunderstorm. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he slowly made out the outline of a rusty metal box which lay half buried in a pool of mud. Due to water flooding into the cave from the spring rain, the box had become unearthed. After the thunderstorm passed, he took the box home with him where he placed it under his bed and forgot about it. Work was hard in the Texas sun, and he often felt weary from the long twelve-hour days of working on the ranch. One night he dreamed his grandmother was holding the metal box in her hands while speaking to him, This is your destiny Angel, your people need you, humanity needs you. But it wasn’t until he had dreamed the same dream three times, that he realized that the time had come to open the mysterious box.

      A Mysterious Box

      It had been almost three and a half years since the fight with Raven, and Angel had heard that he would soon be released on parole. Angel’s abuelita had passed away during this time and he missed her dearly. It was so quiet in the little house without her. He knew in
