《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 89: Justice and Vengeance part 2
Advertisement
Tiwa and Victoria go outside, Uriel walks closer to Coyote, Coyote lights another cigarette; “Why did you come here?”
“I have a mission...to kill a certain someone…”
“Who is it?”
“Sorry, but a bounty hunter does not reveal his target aside from the client...don’t ask who sent me because I won’t answer either…”
Uriel sighs with his eyes closed and asks; “So, what do you want to talk about?”
“I wanted to meet you in person...six months ago, I saw Juan de la Trinidad and we had a chat...he told me that you are after Darius Lucifugus right?”
“I am...that stupid viejo doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut…”
Coyote laughs; “He told me about the incident 5 years ago and I must say that you have the right to seek out vengeance…”
“It’s not vengeance, it’s justice...that guy deserves to be put down…”
“Justice and Vengeance are just synonyms...either way, you will kill that man...Uriel, remember the incident in Jalisco two years ago?”
“Yeah...so what?”
“That man you fought...Count Baltazar Cisneros Draculus II...he was strong right?”
“He was...the strongest opponent I ever fought…” Uriel replies as he looks at his hand.
“Well, Darius is 10x stronger than him…”
“What did you say?”
“Think about it, your father...the Solitary Wolf couldn’t beat him...do you think you have a chance?”
Uriel looks at Coyote, and gets angry; “I do...and I will kill that bastard even if I die with him…”
“HAHAHA” Coyote laughs, then you will need the power of the Golden Keys to do so…”
“The Golden Keys? Why?”
“They will give you an extra boost...Uriel, aside from the Charro Negro...you know what you are right?”
“Yes...I know…”
“Good...I want to have a proper duel with you, to settle once and for all , who will kill Darius Lucifugus…”
“What did you say?”
“You heard me...you are not the only one who has a grudge against him...but that is a story for another time...right now I need to finish my duty in distracting you…”
“Distracting me for what?”
(BBBBBBOOOOOMMMMM)
Suddenly, Uriel feels a massive amount of mana coming from the city.
“UURRRIIIEELLL!!” Tiwa screams at Uriel, Uriel runs outside and sees a pillar of purple mana.
“Uriel, what is that?” Victoria asks Uriel as she grabs his arm afraid. Uriel looks at Coyote walking calmly and asks; “What’s happening?”

“It seems the Shadow Tamer has appeared, and boy...the city is in trouble now…”
***************************************************************************
Rio Grande City
(RRRRAAWWWW)
Estrella, who saw her friend Naomi hurt, lost control and began to release her power. Mariana holds Naomi as she says:
“Oh no...there are too many Sombras here...I don’t know what to do…”
She shakes with fear as she doesn’t know what to do. Mariana feels worthless; “Why...why am I so weak…It’s all over now...” Mariana begins to shed tears. Suddenly, a hand grabs her shoulder and she hears a voice saying; “Calm down...nothing is over...in fact, it’s just beginning.”
Mariana looks up and sees Daniel; “Daniel” Mariana smiles with tears in her eyes. Daniel looks at Naomi; “I guess this wasn’t part of the plan huh…”
“Daniel, what do we do? Naomi is dying and there are Sombras everywhere…”
“Like I said...this wasn't part of the plan…” Daniel takes out a cell phone and makes a phone call; “It’s me...do it like I told you…”
“Right...Jefe…”
(RRRRAAAWWW)
A Sombra heads towards Daniel, Daniel kicks it and sends it flying. “So strong…” Mariana is impressed. Daniel takes out a triangular object and throws it to the air. The triangular object splits into three, and a forcefield covers the three of them.
“Teleportation, activated.” The forcefield begins to shine and the three of them disappear from that area.
(BBBBOOOOMMMMM)
The three of them appear in the abandoned building where the Chuco Clan hangs out. Mariana opens her eyes and asks; “Where...are we?”
“MARIANA!” Abril runs and hugs Mariana; “Abril, what are you doing here?”
“Why did you leave without me...I was so afraid that something bad happened to you…” Abril cries, Mariana also cries as she feels relieved.
“Honestly, you two are reckless...going there all by yourselves…” Fabiola walks acting mature, Daniel scratches his head as he states:
“Yeah...yeah, but I knew things would go that way...so I was prepared…”
“Jefe...you’re alright...and I managed to do it correctly…” Apá says as he and the Chuco Clan walk towards them. Daniel looks at them and with a satisfied expression says:
“Excellent, you followed the instructions and did your job correctly…”
“Wait, what’s going on?” Mariana asks Abril as she sees the Chuco Clan talking to Daniel. Abril begins to explain what happened.
***************************************************************************
Earlier today…
In the morning...Daniel had a meeting with the Chuco Clan…in the courtyard...

“Look, the things you saw yesterday, they were real…” Daniel says as he takes out his cell phone and shows an image of a Sombra.
“Wow...so that monster was real...so cool…” Chuy, who is awake, says in a funky fashion.
“That monster was strong...stronger than me…” Bofo states as he looks at his muscle. “Why are you showing this to us Jefe?” Tito asks Daniel.
“Tonight, there will be an attack from those things…” Daniel says to Tito. “Seriously Jefe? Then we should inform the authorities, right?” Apá asks Daniel. Daniel shakes his head; “No...they won’t believe us...nobody will...but it’s up to us to defend the city…”
“But we are just teenagers…” Tito comments are discouraged. The Chuco Clan looks discouraged.
“So...we might be just teens, but you have spirit, that;s why I chose you to be my team...I believe in you guys and I know that we will survive tonight...plus, we will have backup…”
“Who?” Apá asks intrigued. “That’s a secret...so, are you with me?” Daniel asks the Chuco Clan. The Chuco Clan looked at eachother and for a few seconds they agreed to help Daniel:
“We owe you our lives Jefe...so we will follow you to the end…”
“Thank you, but don’t call me Jefe…”
“Right...Jefe…”
And so…
“Wait..is that Daniel and Mariana with Naomi?” Abril who was walking to the entrance sees them. Abril, who is very energetic, begins to scream; “Hey Maria…” Suddenly, someone grabs her and prevents her from screaming.
In the shadows, Bofo holds Abril; “Hey what are you doing?” Abril exclaims, Apá gives a note to Abril; “Jefe wanted you to read this…”
Abril reads the note; “Seriously...Daniel…” Apá looks at Abril and says; “Monja (Nun) we need to look for Fabiola and go to the hiding spot. We will wait for Jefe’s signal…”
Abril hits Apá’s head as she says; “Hey, I am not a monja, call me Abril…”
“Right...sorry, Abril…”
The Chuco Clan and Abril searched for Fabiola...after that they decided to head towards the hideout and waited for Daniel’s signal…
***************************************************************************
“I understand now...so that’s why Daniel wanted to reclute the Chuco Clan…” Mariana mentions to Abril.
(COUGH COUGH)
Naomi coughs up blood; “Oh no...Fabiola please help her, a Sombra attacked her and now she is bleeding.” Mariana says to Fabiola. Fabiola quickly looks at her wound, she lifts her shirt causing the Chuco Clan to look like perverts. Abril pokes their eyes; “Don’t look you perverts…”
“Sorry…”
Fabiola slowly closes her eyes and begins to chant; “Curacion” (Healing) Golden mana shines and Naomi’s wound slowly closes. Naomi wakes up and sees Mariana; “Naomi, I was so worried…”
“Where am I?” Naomi asks, Mariana explains the situation. Daniel takes out his phone and a light comes off it and illuminates the wall like a proyector.
“Wow Jefe...that’s so cool…” The Chuco Clan looks with excitement, Daniel looks at Estrella and says:
“This is bad...the Sombras have gathered around her, I count 1000, this is going to be an invasion…”
Daniel puts his phone away and looks at everyone; “Listen, Chuco Clan, you will escort the girls to the Ministry, take these and use them in case of emergency…” Daniel hands the Chuco clan some spheres. “When you see a Sombra, throw these to them…”
“Right, got it Jefe…”
Daniel looks at Fabiola and says; “Fabiola, tell the Father what’s going on…”
“What will you do Daniel?” Fabiola asks Daniel, Daniel begins to walk to the exit as he states; “I’m going to summon the savior of the city…”
At the same time…
(BBBOOOOMMMM)
Calakmul walks towards the city as he says:
“Estrella, now order the invasion…”
Estrella who now has hollow eyes points at the city, the Sombra turns and looks at the city as well.
(RRRRAAAAWWW)
1000 Sombras begin to head the city, many of them with wings, others by foot. Clakmul also heads there as he says; “Now, it’s time for my Vengeance to begin, the Shadows will have their vengeance…”
Estrella cries out; “Naomi...Naomi...I will avenge you…”
Sombras begin to gather around her, the Sombras begin to join together, and slowly as the sun completely sets. Creating a giant Sombra that has the body of a dragon with wings and marks in its body.
(RRRRAAAWWW)
The giant sombra roars as it slowly begins to walk towards the city. Estrella stands in its head as she says:
“All of the sinners will be destroyed…”
Rio Grande City was about to face the worst situation ever...the invasion of the Sombras....the night is dark as if it is a new moon...perfect for the Sombras who begin their assault...

Almave
Welcome to AlmaVé. First thing you have to know is that it's a tragedy. Nope, not talking about my book yet. It's a tragedy that you're reading this instead of clicking on chapter 1. I did fail speech introductions after all. My story? Right that's what you're here for. My bad, try this: Lilia Hammond is reborn (cliché, but we all know we enjoy it when it's done for a purpose) as Syndra Sanmey. She was a graphic designer who hadn't caught her break yet. She was paralyzed for months before she was offered the opportunity to join a program that would allow her to-NOPE! not virtual reality. The doctors killed her and dumped her body. Tough. In her new world, Lilia has to fight herself to find out who she truly is. With the possibility to cast magic and a second chance at life, Lilia thinks she can really make something for herself. Her goal? Become the greatest artist the world had ever seen. The rub? World is a bit darker than anything she saw on earth. Thankfully, Lilia is getting quite familiar with the darkness inside her and her magic might just be the thing to save the-hey! wait it's not that kind of book. No saving the world. No hero syndrome. Just magic and blood and a bit of crafting. Yup. Fighting. Romance? Eh? What's that? The first arc is Lilia's shift from Earth to creating backstories for the three major characters. It's not funny and light. It's often dark and funny. Ah, I really should have gone through a punk-rock phase. Or goth. Would I look good with black hair? Hmm.. There are three MCs and they are Jackson, Daryl, and Lilia/Syndra. Daryl is currently kidnapped and Jackson just awakened his magic. I don't want to spoil (much) but soon things will be very fun to write. Hope to see you there! Leave a comment even if you're just stopping by so I can say hey! Chapters to be published twice weekly. Check tags before reading.

My Failed Reincarnation as a Demon’s Prisoner
When Kayn opened his eyes in the empty void, he was met with a familiar voice and the knowledge that he was neither dead nor alive and about to be reincarnated. What he didn't expect was to reappear in the world of the living and immediately get captured by a clan of demons, now living as their prisoner. After a lucky encounter, Kayn stumbles upon a room that could possibly give him what he needs to free himself from their captivity. But, as he soon finds out, escaping from the demon queen herself isn't the easiest of tasks... **DISCLAIMER**This story attempts to be quite comedic (I don't know if I'm doing a great job at it) and will be more comedy heavy at the start than later on. As the situations Kayn finds himself in become more grave, the story will become serious and less comedy oriented. There will always be comedy throughout, but at some point I do plan on shifting the focus. I'd love to hear everyones opinion on whether the comedy should be kept in full, or dialed back a little so the plot can take centre stage more often. Happy reading!
