Deep beneath the surface, where light dares not reach, the Cucarrojos hide. Living in caverns carved with the patience of shadows, their homes are entwined with ancient roots and moss that murmurs forgotten secrets. Each dwelling, a unique refuge, is a whisper in the vast darkness of the forest, a testament to their dominion over the subterranean world. There is no haste in their existence, only the silent heartbeat of the earth, an echo that resonates within them, where time seems to yield to stillness.

​

Each day, the Cucarrojos emerge from their homes in silence, wandering shadows moving through the cloak of darkness. They move aimlessly, guided by a deep calm, cultivating roses that sprout from the cracks of the earth, symbols of their harmony with the unseen. Solitude does not weigh them down; instead, they embrace it, feeling in their connection with the earth an unshakable strength. They do not seek company, but their presence is like a promise: they will always be, though no one sees them, forever at peace with the mystery of the forest.

​

They know no enemies, for their world lies beyond conflict. When threat approaches, they do not fight, for they need not. They dissolve into the darkness, vanishing into silence as if they had never existed. They seek neither glory nor possession; their power lies in stillness, in the ability to become invisible when danger looms, and in remaining where they belong, untouched by the struggles of other beings. In their perfect balance, the forest grants them an ancient power: to live without disturbance, to observe without being seen.

​

It is said that in a time of great chaos, when the forest trembled with a fierce storm, a Cucarrojo found, among the rubble of his destroyed home, a seed, lost and alone. Without thinking, he planted it, and from it grew a rose of such strength and beauty that it seemed to defy the storm itself. Since then, each Cucarrojo has cultivated these roses not out of necessity, but out of an ancient oath: to remember that, even in the deepest darkness, something can emerge that endures, something capable of withstanding the passage of time and the echoes of chaos.
