Present Day; January 31st, 20 km West of Sun City

The Borderland, a large desert area located between two countries.It is January 31st, in Sun City, today is special because it’s a memorial day for the tragedy that happened 5 years ago. Students and staff of the highschool get the day off.

Located 20 km to the west of Sun City, there is a giant hole. A crater that was created 5 years ago with an unknown motive. The Crater has a circumference of 1 kilometer making it huge and a depth of 1 kilometer down. People are prohibited to go near the crater as the authorities made them believe that it was a nuclear explosion and that there is a high radiation reading in the area.

However…

“Hey, how long are you keep hiding over there....”

A young man with blue hair and green eyes stands near the crater. He is wearing an unbuttoned black jacket, blue jeans and black shoes. He has a red scarf around his neck and has black gloves.

The young man is looking at the crater as a strong wind blows upward. He turns around and says:

“Alejandro, come out already, you look so dumb covering your mouth like that…”

Alejandro (16 years old), a young man with brownish hair and orange eyes. He is hiding behind a rock covering his mouth with his black scarf. He is wearing an orange winter coat, he has black gloves and blue jeans.

“I must do it Uriel, this place has high levels of radiation, you didn’t know that?” Alejandro says with his gloves holding his scarf as he covers his mouth.

Uriel (Age 16) sighs with his eyes close, he turns around and replies:

“That’s a lie, there wasn’t a nuclear explosion here…”

“Easy for you to say, I can’t believe you brought me here…”

“You’re the one who insisted on coming with me, idiot…”

“Because you created a portal to get here.. and I thought it was super cool…”

Uriel scratches his head, and continues to explained:

“You sure are stupid, anyway, this crater was created by mana not radiation. I know because I can still sense some mana coming from this crater…”

“Seriously, now that's a relief…” Alejandro says standing next to Uriel, Uriel looks at him thinking:

“Now that was fast…”

“So anyway Uriel, why did we come here today?”

“I wanted to see this crater, because…”

Uriel looks down, wind blows hard. Alejandro also looks down thinking:

“It sure is deep…”

Uriel begins to remember images from the past.

“URIEL...URIEL...MI HIJO…”(MY SON)

He begins to remember a man with blue hair and a mustache. His head begins to hurt as he grabs it with his left hand.

“Uriel, is something wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing, the reason we came here was...because ...I think I was here five years ago…”

Alejandro looks surprised and exclaims:

“Wair, seriously? You were here? But the Principal told us that you went out of town…”

“That was another lie, the thing is, I don’t remember why, but the manna here is very familiar and nostalgic, I know I was here but…”

Suddenly, Uriel sees something shining down at the crater, a silver light shining.

“Alejandro, do you see that?”

“No, what do I need to see?”

Uriel jumps down the crater in search of the object he just saw.

“HEY WAIT...URIEL…” Alejandro sees Uriel disappear in the darkness.

“Aww man, that guy sure is unpredictable…”

Without warning...

“FFFRRRREEEZZEEE, STAY WHERE YOU ARE…”

Suddenly, two soldiers appear pointing their weapons at Alejandro. Alejandro lifts his arms looking surprised:

“Damn it, why now when Uriel isn’t here…”

“Why are you here, this is a restricted area. No one can enter…”

Alejandro laughs nervously thinking:

“Come on Uriel, hurry…”

Alejandro begins to speak:

“Well you see...uhmm...I got lost on my way home…”

“Liar, we are in the middle of a desert...son, you’re coming with us…”

The soldiers walk towards Alejandro, Alejandro takes a step back but he is on the edge of the crater. He begins to think:

“Oh shit, now I am in trouble, damn it Uriel, hurry.”

(PPPUUMMM)

In a blink of an eye, Uriel knocks both of the guards unconscious as he stands behind them.

“DAMN IT URIEL, YOU SURE TOOK YOUR DAMN TIME…”

“You’re so loud, do you want to wake them up?”

Alejandro takes a deep breath feeling relief, he looks at Uriel and asks:

“So did you find the thing you were searching…”

Uriel lifts his arm, revealing a silver Rosary.

“Wait, is that a Rosary?”

“Yes, I found it at the bottom of the crater...it’s really strange but this Rosary…”

Uriel then looks at it and thinks:

“This Rosary is the same as the one mother has…”

Alejandro scratches his head thinking:

“I don't know what he is thinking, but I want to go now…”

Uriel extends his arm with his hand open. He begins to release crimson mana, suddenly, the space begins to bend and a portal begins to open.

“Anyway, let’s go home...I want to speak with Father Clemente and Sister Carolina…”

Uriel enters the portal, Alejandro runs to the portal. Suddenly he feels someone is watching them. Alejandro looked in all directions but there was no one:

“I swear I felt someone was…”

Uriel pulls him into the portal before he could see who it was. As the portal closes, a figure appears from the shadows.

A green colored wolf made of natural energy walks to the crater and looks at it, the wolf begins to howl as it turns to mana particles.

******************************************************************************

Night slowly falls in the Borderland, with a clear sky, the moon once again shines down on the twin cities. In the Ministry of San Juan, Uriel decided to show the Rosary to Father Clemente and Sister Carolina…

“Hhmmmm…’ A beautiful woman dressed in a nun’s attire looks at the rosary that Uriel found.

“Well Sister Carolina, does it seem familiar?” Uriel asks, Carolina (Age 29) looks at the rosary as she says:

“Well, the rosary looks identical to Maria’s but it isn’t hers. Our rosaries must always be with us, I think it might belong to someone else.”

“I see, I’m sorry that I bothered you.” Uriel grabs the rosary, Carolina smiles and replies:

“Not to worry, I’m sorry that I couldn’t be of more help.”

Uriel heads back to his room. Alejandro walks in the hallway of the ministry, he feels pain in his left hand thinking:

“I know that my hand was sealed but it sometimes hurts…”

Alejandro looks up and sees a young girl dressed in a nun’s attire. He smiles and says:

“Hey Sister Fabiola, how are you feeling?”

Sister Fabiola (Age 13) looks at him and runs away, Alejandro scratches his cheek thinking:

“That’s weird, ever since that night, she’s been ignoring me…”

Alejandro sees Mariana (Age 13) and Abril (Age 13) mopping the floor.

“Hey girls, can I ask you a question?”

Alejandro walks waving his hand, the girls look at Alejandro and walk back scared. Alejandro does not understand and asks them:

“Hey, is something wrong?”

He walks forward to them but both of them shout:

“STAY AWAY, YOU ARE A SINNER!”

This leaves Alejandro confused; “Why are you calling me that?”

“Well you like to see panties and attack girls just like my sister told us.” Mariana replies scared.

Alejandro now understands the situation and sighs with his eyes close while he says:

“Come on, don’t let Fabiola’s words get to you okay”

Alejandro continues to walk with the intention of going to his room but suddenly trips with a towel that the girls drop by accident.

He falls over the two girls landing on top of them. The two girls begin to scream:

“GGYYYAAHHHH”

Alejandro quickly gets of them into his knees and says:

"Wait you got it all wrong it was an accident”

Fabiola opens the door of the kitchen and sees Alejandro in his knees with the two girls on the ground as well with tears on their eyes causing her to blush and exclaim:

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU PIGGGGGG!!!”

Fabiola jumps into the air and strikes Alejandro with a kick in his face while he screams:

“WAAAAIIIIITTTT, AHHHHHHH!!!!!”

“Hey Alejandro, it’s time to sleep…” Uriel walks down the hallway. He sees Alejandro on the floor, with the three sisters looking scared at him.

“I am not going to ask okay, come on you pervert…”

Uriel grabs Alejandro’s legs pulling him from his leg.

The girls look at him smiling:

“GOOD NIGHT…”

Alejandro regains consciousnesses and asks:

“So, did you learn something about the rosary?”

“No...but I will keep looking for answers…”

Uriel and Alejandro decided to go to bed and call it a night because the next day was a school day…
