<div class="text-justify">The crow gave a human sigh and flew away. The woman said to me: ‘Run to your parents, this road is dangerous. I ran to them without telling them, knowing they would scold me.</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify">When we arrived at my relatives' house, they showed pictures of a deceased aunt I didn't know. But when I saw them, I was shocked: the woman was the same one who had warned me and chased that creature away.</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify">I didn't say anything to my parents that day. Only later, when we returned to the village, did I tell them what I had experienced and how my aunt had saved me from that evil being.</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify">They looked at each other gravely and said: ‘That aunt had a special gift for seeing beings from the other world. They say that after she died, her protective spirit watches over our family.</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify">When I looked at the photo, the aunt was smiling placidly, but with a perceptive glow, as if she knew the danger she had faced.</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify">Since then, every time I walk those paths, I say a silent prayer. For I know that my family's ancestral guardian watches over me to keep me safe from the evil that lurks in the shadows.</div><P/>
