《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 97: The Last King of the Mayans
Advertisement
Mayan Empire, 1200 Years Ago…
Standing behind the Giant Sombra, Calakmul, the Last Mayan Emperor, looks at the beast's struggle, he closes his eyes and remembers his life and why he decided to attack Rio Grande City...
The Mayan Empire was the strongest Empire in Meso-America. The Mayans ruled over Mexico and Central America for Hundreds of Years. Their rulers were selected by heredity...Calakmul, was the ruler after his father Payah passed away...Calakmul, was a very egocentric king who only believed in expanding the Empire and gaining power...In the last year of his Empire, Calakmul was facing a major problem…
*NOTE; THE CONVERSATION IS ACTUALLY IN ANCIENT MAYAN
In the Great Pyramid of Kukulkan, located in Chichen Itza (Yucatan, Mexico), Calakmul sits on his throne listening to one of the priests; “My king...I’m afraid we are facing a crisis, the water supplies are low and there are no signs of increasing…”
King Calakmul was a man with average size, brown skin, black hair and hazel eyes. He had a muscular body and long hair like any traditional mayan warrior. He also wore a traditional Mayan king attire.
Calakmul doesn’t express any concern and says; “Please stay calm, I am sure that our Gods will return the water to us...for now, let’s focus on conquering the Cibola Tribe in the North…”
“But my lord...our people are dying…”
“Silence...you are to follow my orders, recruit the soldiers to start our campaign...Now…” Calakmul orders his generals. The generals nod in agreement, they abandon the room. Calakmul looks at the wall behind him. The wall has the figure carved into it, the figure of a Serpent with Wings.
“Oh, God Kukulkan, give me the wisdom and power to conquer the Cibola rebels and conquer their lands in your honor…”

The Next two months, Calakmul and his army went North in order to conquer the Cibola Territory, with countless battles happening from Day and Night, the Mayans were defeated by the Cibola tribe. An army of 10000 men lost to a small unit of 500.
Having admitted defeat, Calakmul decided to retreat back into the Mayan territory…
“WHY...WHY...WHY DID WE LOST! ARE MY MEN THAT WEAK?”
Calakmul infuriated exclaims to the Head Priest and the Head General; “King Calakmul, we didn’t lose to them because our men were weak, the Cibola tribe had excellent mana control and their techniques were too powerful…”
“NONSENSE, WE HAD WITH US THE TREASURE THAT OUR GOD KUKULKAN LEFT WITH US...HOW COME WE LOST…”
“My king, the treasure did not work, we don’t know what happened, but the treasure did not respond to us…”
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?”
Calakmul orders his men to bring the treasure, he grabs the treasure that is a gem and holds it tight; “What is the meaning of this? Did our God forsake us?”
“My king don’t say that, or he will bring down his wrath.”
“Nonsense, I will act as arrogant as I want, I have conquered lands under Kukulkan’s name, and this is how he pays us? Soldiers, destroy the wall behind me…”
“But my king? You will fight against one of the Gods?”
“Of course...I don’t care...destroy the wall...Kukulkan is no longer our God…”
The soldiers hit the wall, the figure of Kukulkan breaks, Calakmul smiles as he says; “If Kukulkan is really our God, then he will present himself to me in person…”
(DRIP DRIP DROP DROP)
Everyone looks up and sees the miracle that was happening to them. The sky filled itself with clouds, and the drought that hit the Mayan territory for 15 months ended with a storm hitting the mystical land.

“What is going on here?” The priests ask as they look up at the sky. Calakmul begins to scream; “SEE MY FELLOW FOLLOWERS, I WAS RIGHT, IF WE GO AGAINST OUR GODS, FORTUNE WILL SMILE UPON US…”
“SILENCE!” Everyone in the kingdom hears a voice coming from the sky. Everyone looks up and sees. What they see is a giant figure of a serpent between the clouds as the lightning falls.
“This can’t be...it’s the Feathered Serpent…” One of the priests kneels with shock. The Feathered Serpent slowly descends from the sky, the serpent has giant wings and feathers falling from them. Because it is dark and the clouds cover the moon. The colors are not shown.
“It’s our God Kukulkan…” Another priest states with fear. Calakmul, feeling fear, asks; “Oh God Kukulkan, what brings you to our humble mortal kingdom?”
“Silence...I have come here to punish those who have decided to go against my will...King Calakmul, your kingdom has brought nothing but shame to us Gods…The gift of the Gem that I gave you was used for evil...it was meant to bring peace to this land...”
Calakmul is in shock upon hearing those words and lifts his head; “Why are you saying that? I have done nothing wrong, I even expanded the territory under your name...why…”
“King Calakmul, what makes a great king is not conquering land or destroying civilizations...it's by taking care of the people that make this kingdom...you have forsaken that aspect, take a look around you...your people are dying of thirst…”
Calakmul remembers what his generals and priests mentioned about the drought, he gets furious and exclaims; “God Kukulkan, this is your fault, you have decided to give us this drought, we who are your humble followers do not deserve this kind of treatment.”
“Silence...Calakmul, you dare blame me for this catastrophe? You have committed yet another sin...Your arrogance and egocentric behavior have condemned you and those who follow you...you will be punished…”
“What? This can’t be...God Kukulkan has gone insane...No…” Calakmul looks at his army and screams; “MEN...FIRE AT THAT DEMON...THAT IS NOT GOD KUKULKAN BUT A DEMON WHO CLAIMS TO BE HIM...FIRE...THE ARROWS…”
The men in the army are scared as they see the giant God. They disobey the order and kneel towards Kukulkan. Calakmul feels betrayed; “You disobey your king? This is unacceptable...everyone should be punished…”
“No...King Calakmul...You are the one who will be punished...the Great Mayan Empire will cease to exist, everyone will forget about you...and you...will have to walk upon this earth forever…”
Calakmul grabs his lance, and prepares to throw it at Kukulkan; “DAMN YOU...DEMON...I WILL ELIMINATE YOU…”
(BBBBOOOOMMMM)
Kukulkan releases mana from the mouth in the form of flames and strikes the altar where Calakmul was standing. The altar disappears along with Calakmul. The Gem that Calakmul was holding got sealed within the wall off the destroyed Serpent and was located in its eye. The Serpent roars and returns to the sky once more.
On that night, the Mayan Empire fell as people began to abandon Chichen Itza, and walk in various directions. King Calakmul’s name was slowly forgotten. As for King Calakmul…

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!
