《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 18: In the Silence of the Night part 3
Advertisement
5 minutes before…
In the Ministry of San Juan, the girls were ready to go to sleep without noticing the calamity that was happening in the city. However, the calamity was heading in their direction…
“I’m going to the restroom sister.”
Mariana tells Fabiola who is lying on her bed still awake.
“Okay, but go quickly.”
Fabiola responds to Mariana. Mariana steps outside the room without noticing the protection tag that Carolina left on their door.
It’s already midnight, Father Clemente and Carolina are still awake in the kitchen. However, they didn't notice that Mariana was out of her room.
After Mariana gets out of the restroom she heads back to her room.
The monster flies on top of the Northwest region of the Rio Grande City. In that part there are few houses including the Ministry of San Juan, and in the back it is surrounded by hills making it the poorest part of town. The monster repeats the powerful roar:
(RRRRRRAAAAAWWWW)
Mariana who was heading to her bedroom hears the roar and falls into its hypnosis. She begins to walk the other way towards the exit of the Ministry without anyone noticing.
It’s been 5 minutes and Fabiola stands up and begins to run in search of Mariana thinking:
“It has been a while since Mariana went to the restroom, something is wrong.”
Fabiola runs looking for her; “Mariana...Mariana where are you?”
“Fabiola what’s wrong?” Father Clemente and Sister Carolina notice Fabiola running outside:
“FABIOLA WAIT!”
Fabiola runs outside the ministry and sees Mariana; “MARIANA! COME BACK INSIDE!”
Fabiola is about to step outside, at that moment, she notices the winged monster in the sky.
“It can’t be...that creature…”
Fabiola turns and sees many people outside their houses standing there hypnotized. The monster flies down and attacks a man who is standing outside on the far end of the street.
The monster covers the man with its wings causing him to scream. The monster finishes and the man begins to turn into ashes and disappears.

Fabiola begins to tremble of fear, thinking to herself:
“It’s the same as before, what should I do?”
The monster begins to attack one by one the people closing in on Mariana.
(SSLLAAPP)
Fabiola slaps herself and stops shaking. She runs towards Mariana and begins to slap and yell her name trying to wake her up:
“MARIANA SNAP OUT OF IT!...YOU MUST WAKE UP!”
The monster finishes the last person next to their house and begins to charge at the girls.
“MAAAARRRIIAAANNNA!!!”
Fabiola screams one last time causing Mariana to react; “Fabiola, why are we outside…” Mariana notices the monster; “KYYAHHH IT’S THE MONSTER!”
The creature heads towards the girls and flaps its wings with force.
(BBBBOOOMMM)
The girls are separated, the creature heads towards Mariana. Fabiola begins to remember what happened to Sister Melissa and screams:
“NOOO!!!”
In a blink of an eye, Alejandro appears and saves Mariana. Both of them roll a few meters. Mariana opens her eyes and sees Alejandro; “Hey girl, are you okay?”
Mariana blushes and nods in agreement. Alejandro stands up carrying Mariana and expresses excitement:
"Woo-hoo this is my second save of the night."
"Hey you perv, stay away from my sister."
Fabiola screams at Alejandro who notices that he is still carrying Mariana
Mariana looks at him very nervous causing Alejandro to panic:
"I'm sorry…"
“It’s okay, please put me down…” Mariana says with a shy voice.
(RRRRRAAAWWW)
The monster roars again and charges at them. Fabiola stands in front of them and says:
“Stand back, you two...”
Mariana then goes behind Fabiola. Fabiola with a brave face puts her two hands in front in a position as she was holding something.
She then begins to chants:
“En el nombre del Santo Protégeme: Lanza Divina de Santa Inés” (In the name of the father protect me: Divine Lance of Saint Ines)
A spear with a white staff and a silver blade appears in her hands. She grabs the spear and hits the monster with the staff and says:

“I’m your opponent.”
“Listen to me Mariana, you need to hide!” Fabiola tells Mariana as they both see the monster flying on top of them.
"Hey, what about me?" Alejandro says feeling left out.
"You're bigger than us, you can defend yourself…" Fabiola says to Alejandro who feels sad.
However, Mariana is so scared that all she does is stare at the monster, Alejandro grabs her hand and both of them run to the Ministry.
The monster flies down once again with the intention to attack the girls.
(PPUUMM)
Father Cleemente appears and punches the monster.
"Don't touch my daughters you beast. "
Sister Carolina also appears and stands in front of both Alejandro and Mariana.
(BOOOOMMMM)
The monster releases a sound wave causing the cars, and the girls to fly away.The shock wave is too powerful that blows Father Clemente and Sister Carolina away.
Alejandro holds Mariana, however they are also blown away.
Mariana hits her head in the ground causing her to bleed. Alejandro notices Fabiola smiling at Mariana who is barely conscious:
“Mariana take care, I swear I will avenge Melissa and protect you but stay strong.”
Fabiola begins to run and throws the lance to the monster, hurting its right wing.
Fabiola begins to spin the lance at high speed. Fabiola jumps into the air and hits the monster with the lance causing it to fly to the sky once again.
(RRRRRRAAAAWWWW)
The monster roars and begins to charge straight to Fabiola, she runs straight to the hill where a farm is located.
Alejandro stands up and begins to run towards the direction that Fabiola went.
“I must help that girl, I must help her...”
Father Clemente and Sister Carolina regain consciousness, they notice that Fabiola was missing.
“Where is Fabiola?”
“She went that way...” Mariana answers as she is barely conscious.
“Mariana, stay with us...”
Mariana suddenly faints causing both of them to panic. A figure falls behind her causing wind to blow hard and a dust cloud to rise. Carolina makes her lance appear, preparing to attack.
“Are you okay?” The figure says. As the dust cloud begins to clear she notices that it is Uriel.
“Uriel are you okay?” Father Clemente asks with a worried face, Uriel looks at him and says:
“I’m alright, what happened here?”
“It was a monster; Fabiola is fighting it at this moment.”
Sister Carolina begins to cry saying: “No, God not another one, Fabiola”
Uriel walks a little bit to the side and closes his eyes and thinks to himself:
“Hear the rhythm of the soul.”
(BADUMP, BADUMP, BADUMP)
Uriel begins to hear Fabiola’s soul; he opens his eyes and says:
“Found you…”
Uriel takes out a ring and puts it in his right index finger. Mariana says with a lone tone: “Please save my sister.”
“I will”
Uriel answers with a serious expression, she passes out, he looks in front and begins to chant:
“Yo soy a jinete, yo soy el inicio, yo soy el final, yo soy el Charro Negro” ( I am the horseman, I am the beginning, I am the end, I am “El Charro Negro”)
He holds his right forearm with his left hand and lifts them. He squeezes his hand and makes a fist.
Suddenly a crimson flame begins to flow out of his ring and expands covering him causing a small pillar of crimson with pink flames, and the wind to blow hard.
Father Clemente and Carolina cover themselves from the flames. They begin to sweat because of the intense heat of the area.
Uriel comes out of the fire and takes off with a high jump:
“Time to hunt that monster....”

8 169A Portal Fantasy Comedy Poem
Mix an adolescent shepherd boy in love with a girl who wants to meet existentialists, a Viscount in need of an adventure, and a bland psychic. Add in a flippant god. Put them in a land made up of the after-lives of various different cultures. Stir gently. Sprinkle in some random Midgard Serpent, Genghis Khan, Scheherazade, and a cussing mocking bird. Fry lightly. Season to taste and serve with desired garnishes. Bon apetit! A comic fantasy poetic epic, filled with misfits, slapstick routines, light romance, people shouting out the names of their battle skills before using them, old philosopher dudes running around naked, a very serious lamb, demonic knitting, battery operated magic swords and even more traumatising stuff! I experimented with different styles in the beginning and finally settled on an ABABBCBC rhyme scheme (Give me your 0.5s. Gimme, gimme, gimme. I'm collecting them, seriously)
