Rio Grande City; April 16th…

It happened on the night where the Battle Royale took place…

“Thank you for helping me Maria.” Sister Carolina and Maria walk down the street.

“It’s nothing, I’m glad to help.” Maria replies as she carries the grocery bags.

The two of them walk down a crowded street with few lights uphill to the Ministry of San Juan. Maria looks at the sky:

“I hope my son is doing fine.”

“I’m sure he is Maria, he is having fun at this moment.” Carolina replies smiling.

“You are right, when he returns I’ll make a special dish just for him.” The two of them chuckle.

Suddenly, both of them sense a strong mana approaching them. They turn around and notice that all the people walking in the street are gone. The lights begin to turn on and off.

“Maria, what’s going on?” Sister Carolina trembles upon sensing the enormous amount of mana.

“I don’t know…but be on your guard…it’s coming…”

At that moment a black portal opens beneath a street light. A figure comes out of the portal:

“Buenas Noches Señoritas”

“I-I-It can’t be…” Sister Carolina takes a few steps back.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Maria trembles with rage; “WHY…WHY ARE YOU HERE?”

The figure walks towards them as he stands into the light. The figure is man with pale skin, no hair and sunglasses. He is wearing a black suit as he formally presents himself:

“It’s been a long time…Maria…how have you been?”

-TCH- Maria releases an enormous amount of mana, creating a massive wind current:

“YOU…DAMN YOU…I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!”

“M-M-Maria…wait…”

Maria makes her lance appear and charge straight to the man screaming:

“I WILL KILL YOU…DARIUS LUCIFUGUS!”
