Fermín López's Hat-Trick and the Invocation of Akerbeltz in the Clásico

Fermín López's historic hat-trick in the Clásico should have been his definitive consecration, but it transformed into the accidental awakening of Akerbeltz, an entity from Iberian legends that grants sports gifts in exchange for fragments of the beneficiary's soul. ⚽

The Echoes That Wouldn't Stop

After the match, Fermín began to experience disturbing auditory phenomena. The echoes of his goals resonated in his head in a distorted way, slower and deeper, to the point of whispering his name in the solitude of the empty locker room.

Post-hat-trick manifestations:
  • Distorted echoes of the goals that persist after the match
  • Ball that rolls toward him without human intervention
  • Shadows and dark reflections that remain on the grass
"The hat-trick was not an achievement, it was an invocation. And the Clásico, its next sacrifice" - Anonymous witness to the event

The Encounter with the Entity

On the eve of the next Clásico, Fermín had a direct encounter with the figure he had awakened. Akerbeltz appeared to him as a tall and thin entity with an blue fire crown and empty eyes, cracking the ground under his feet as a display of power.

Observed characteristics of Akerbeltz:
  • Tall and thin figure with blue fire crown
  • Completely hollow eyes that absorb light
  • Presence that cracks the ground under his feet

The Player's Transformation

Fermín López has experienced subtle but unsettling changes since the encounter. His name sounds different over the loudspeakers, his voice has a supernatural dubbing effect, and his smile no longer fits naturally on his face.

Alterations in Fermín:
  • Voice that seems to double with supernatural echo
  • Facial expressions that do not match his emotions
  • Technical skill increased inexplicably

The Pact with Akerbeltz

According to Iberian legends, Akerbeltz is the dark billy goat that guards forbidden gifts. It offers power, speed, and sports glory in exchange for soul fragments that are extracted with each significant triumph. 🐐

Terms of the ancestral pact:
  • Supernatural power and speed on the field
  • Immediate glory and recognition
  • Progressive loss of soul fragments per triumph

The Consequences of the Pact

The ball seems to have a life of its own when near Fermín, adhering to his feet as if breathing. The horned entity now inhabits the Camp Nou, watching from the shadows and awaiting the next sacrifice to consolidate the supernatural pact. 🔥
