As they entered the Ministry, Alejandro was greeted by the Sisters:

“ALLLEEJJJAAANNDDRROO” Mariana and Abril hug him, Alejandro making a pervy face says; “Hi, girls, how are you doing?”

“We were worried about you….”

“Thank you, but I am doing well...”

“Oh so you know them?” Valerie asks Alejandro, Alejandro gets nervous and tries to invent an excuse.

“Yeah, he is staying here with Uriel...he is a perv though…” Abril says with a smile.

“SSHHHH” Alejandro tries to shut her up, Fabiola appears and hits him with a broom:

“You pervert, stay away from them…”

“Not you too...Fabiola…”

“GYAHAHAH YOU’RE SO FUNNY….” Valerie laughs, Alejandro sighs with his eyes close.

“Alejandro, you’re here…” Uriel says as he walks towards him. Alejandro changes his expression and sees him with anger thinking; “I must learn the truth….I will ask him now…”

“Uriel, what’s your relationship with her…” Alejandro points at Valerie. Uriel who is dense answers:

“Well, she is a very important person to me…”

“I knew it, she is his girlfriend…” Alejandro feels jealous. Valerie chuckles noticing that and teases him:

“Remember when we bathed together...it was fun right…”

Alejandro feels betrayed as he cries out “blood”; “Uriel, you traitor…”

“I don’t remember that…” Uriel answers without having a clue. Valerie puffs her cheeks as she says; “Sheesh Big Brother, get a clue, I was only teasing him…”

Alejando looks with shock; “Wait, Big Brother!”

“That’s right...this is my little sister, Valerie Di Fiore…”

“WWHHHAATTT?” Alejandro is in shock as a “donkey” appears in his mind. Alejandro bows his head and apologizes:

“I’m so sorry that I doubted you…”

Uriel not knowing what Alejandro means; “Sorry for what?” Valerie laughs as she thinks; “Uriel, you’re really clueless...”

“Hey guys, Mama says dinner is ready” Daniel says as he walks towards them, Alejandro walks back, Uriel introduces him to Alejandro:

“By the way, he is my brother Daniel Di Fiore…”

“Hey…”

“It’s a pleasure…” Alejandro walks with them as he thinks; “So this is your family...Uriel...I’m glad…”

In the dining room...Alejandro meets with Father Clemente and Sister Carolina:

“Alejandro, are you alright?” Carolina checks on Alejandro. Alejandro smiles thinking; “Man, I’m in heaven, she’s an angel…”

“I’m alright, thank you sister…”

“Hijo, how is your hand?” Clemente asks Alejandro, Alejandro moves it to his back as he answers:

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it…”

Father Clemente looks at him suspiciously. Alejandro drinks water nervously, Maria comes out of the kitchen:

“Okay, dinner is ready…”

“Pfffff” Alejandro spills his water as he is bewitched by Maria’s beauty. Maria puts some plates in the table and notices Alejandro:

“Oh my, we have a handsome visitor.”

“This is Alejandro, he is a classmate at my High School” Uriel presents Alejandro. Alejandro nervously stands up and stretches his hand:

“Nice to meet you, I am Alejandro Sanchez…”

“Oh my, that’s a lovely name, nice to meet you, my name is Maria Di Fiore, I am Uriel’s mother…” Maria shakes his hand with a smile, Alejandro blushes thinking:

“What the hell Uriel...your sister is beautiful, your mother is gorgeous...I envy you so much…”

Maria sits down and says; “Well then everyone, time to eat…”

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

Everyone ate and had fun…after dinner, Alejandro decided to go to his room to pick up his stuff…

“So you are really leaving huh…” Uriel comments as he sits on his bed.

“Yeah, I’m returning to my apartment, Ms. Rosa told me that Yggdrasil will watch over me.”

“I see…”

“Hey but don’t feel bad, I mean you still have your family with you...and we will continue to see each other at school and the secret hideout.”

Alejandro says with tears in his eyes, Uriel sighs with his eyes close; “You’re the one who is crying…”

Alejandro walks down the stairs with Uriel, Maria is waiting for him to ask him something:

“Alejandro, may I see your left hand…” Alejandro is confused but he sees Maria’s gorgeous face and runs down saying:

“Of course…”

Maria looks at his hand that has a red bandage, she takes it off revealing a grotesque scene. Father Clemente and Sister Carolina are in shock, Alejandro’s hand is covered in black veins that spread to his elbow.

“I see...you have blood poison that is spreading in your body...if you don’t take care of it, you will die…”

“That I know, but Yggdrasil is helping me find a cure…”

“Yggdrasil...who is in charge of that unit?”

“A man named Allan Carter…” Uriel responds to the question, Maria looks at him:

“I see, Carter huh…Alejandro, I think I can help you with that…”

Maria puts both of her hand on his arm, Alejandro blushes, Maria begins to say:

“Alejandro, what you have here is the Golden Key right? This Golden Key is one of seven that are spread across this continent, however Gold doesn’t mean fortune but the contrary...as you can see, it means poison...now I don’t know how to remove it but…”

Maria closes her eyes and begins to pray:

“Señor Dios, reduce el veneno de tu siervo y librarlo del mal; venenum Aufero” (Dear Lord, reduced the poison from your lamb and free him from evil; venenum Aufero)

A small current of wind begins to form around Alejandro’s arm, and it begins to shine in a golden color, the veins begin to disappear and the skin begins to turn back to normal. After a minute the veins are completely gone and a scar with the shape of the key is formed on the outer part of his hand.

Maria opens her eyes, she wraps Alejandro’s hand once again and says:

“There, I reduce the poison, I’d say that it won’t spread again unless you use it’s power, try to keep it to a minimum, please.”

Alejandro smiles and says; “It doesn’t hurt anymore, thank you so much Ms. Di Fiore…”

“Please call me Maria…”

Alejandro nods in agreement.

Alejandro stands outside the Ministry, he waves his hand thanking everyone for their help, Uriel opens a portal that connects with his room and pushes him.

“Now that he's gone, I will head to my room…” Uriel begins to walk towards his room, Valerie begins to tease:

“Aww, aren’t you sad that your friend left?”

Uriel stops walking and replies; “ Sad huh...No…”

Valerie “shivers”; “So cold…”

Maria chuckles; “Valerie, don’t tease him too much, of course he is sad, I can tell from his reaction…”

“Okay mama...I promise to go easy on him…”

Uriel arrives to the door of his room, before he opens it, he turns to his right:

“Is something the matter, Daniel?”

Daniel turns the corner and walks towards him; “The rhythm sense of your still sharp as always Uriel…”

“Did you need something?”

Daniel leans towards the wall with his arms crossed; “Well, I came here to give you a heads up, I don’t want to call it a warning, but it’s something similar”

“Is that so…”

“Mama and Valerie may be fond of you and trust but I’m not…”

Uriel doesn’t say a word and only looks at him, Daniel continues to speak:

“Don’t get me wrong, Mother described my brother Uriel and you're just like him. I don’t know if you are “that” Uriel but I don’t fully trust you and I must warn you...don’t ever try to do something to Mama or Valerie...I know that you care about them but despite all that, you are still El Charro Negro, meaning that you are evil…”

“I understand..”

“If you ever try to do something to them...I will personally eliminate you...are we clear?”

“Mmpphh...you don’t have to worry about that Daniel...my mission is clear here, I don’t plan on staying long okay...besides they are the ones who are clingy to me...but let’s make a deal…”

“A deal?”

“That’s right...I swore that I would protect you three with my life, but, if I ever try to harm you...I will take my own life...what do you say?”

“Very well, I hope you can keep that promise or else I will kill you…”

“I understand...good night…” Uriel enters his room, Daniel continues walking towards his room. Standing in next to the wall, Fabiola trembles on what she just heard, she has her hands covering her mouth as she thinks:

“Uriel….”
