《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 103: Being Sincere...
Advertisement
Tiwa looks at Calakmul’s body slowly decaying. Uriel looks at Tiwa and says; “Let’s go back…”
“Wait...before we go, I have something to say…”
“What is it?”
Tiwa takes a few steps in front of Uriel; “All this time, I have nothing but one purpose...to seek vengeance...to avenge my tribe from what you did...to destroy El Charro Negro and Coyote...but now, Coyote apologized and I learned the truth, and you are not El Charro Negro who destoryed my tribe...my soul is in peace…”
“I already told you that...thousands of times…” Uriel sighs with his eyes closed. “So that means you are going to disappear?” Uriel asks Tiwa scratching his hair. Tiwa gets mad: “NO YOU IDIOT...DON’T INTERRUPT ME…”
Tiwa clears her throat and continues speaking; “I think I will start once again...you know that I also had the objective to find the golden keys, like the one that Alejandro has...there are seven in total scattered all over the continent…”
“You too...why are you fixated on getting the golden keys?”
“It is said that the seven keys will grant you a power compared to a God...others say that it will open the gates of the underworld...I myself thought that the keys would help me bring the Ysleta tribe back to life…”
“And do you still believe that would've happened?”
“To be honest...I don’t know...but, I made my decision…” Tiwa turns around and stretches her arm with her hand in the form of a fist; “I...Tiwa de Ysleta...decided to make you my friend…”
“Your friend?”
“That’s right...you are the person who I can depend on from now on...what do you say? Will you be my friend?” Tiwa asks Uriel. Uriel remembers when Alejandro said the same thing. Uriel chuckles; “You and Alejandro are weird people, you know that? However...I don’t know why...but I like people like you?”

“And just what do you mean by that?”
Uriel grabs her hand, Tiwa notices, she changes the fist into a handshake, Uriel agrees by saying; “I accept, Tiwa de Ysleta, from now on...you and me are friends...I will trust that you will cover my back and I will protect yours…”
Tiwa blushes and avoids looking at him; “O-O-Okay...then it’s settled...I will do what you tell me to as your friend…”
“Right…”
“So...my friend...what is your next goal?”
Uriel changes his expression to a confident one; “Well...now that I learned that Darius is after the Seven Golden Keys...we must stop him from obtaining them…”
“Really? Do you know where the other keys are?”
“No idea…”
“Seriously!!!”
“However, we already know who has one and we must protect him...right?”
“Alejandro Sanchez”
“Exactly...but for now...let’s head back…” Uriel opens the portal, suddenly, he feels weak and he is about to fall.
“I got you…” Tiwa prevents carrying him with her shoulders, Uriel smiles and says; “Thank you…”
“That’s what friends are for…” Tiwa and Uriel slowly cross the portal making their way into Rio Grande City.
**************************************************************************
Rio Grande City Cathedral
In Rio Grande City people began to come out of the temples and churches...they celebrated because they survived that darkest night...The Bishop ordered Father Clemente and the other priests to erase everyone's memories...
More than one hundred priests make a circle in the center of the cathedral. The circle has a triangle and a cross in the middle that cover all of the circle. The priests begin to chant:
“EN EL NOMBRE DEL SEÑOR...HAZ QUE TUS HIJOS E HIJAS OLVIDEN A LOS DEMONIOS Y TRAERLES PAZ A SUS CORAZONES...AMEN” (IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD...MAKES YOU SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO FORGIVE ABOUT THE DEMONS AND BRING THEM PEACE IN THEIR SOULS...AMEN)

A golden ray shines to the sky, the sky darkens for an instant as golden drops fall into the sky. With the golden drops, people begin to forget about the attack last night. The memories of the Sombras were erased, and people believe that it was just another earthquake .
After the ritual ended, Father Clemente, who was among the people who were in the ritual, walked down the hall of the cathedral. Suddenly he hears a voice of someone calling him; “Father Clemente, do you have a moment of your time?”
The one calling him is the Bishop of Rio Grande City. At the courtyard of the Cathedral, Father Clemente and Bishop Adrian look at the birds as he throws seeds towards them.
“Father Clemente, I asked you to come because I have an important matter to discuss regarding El Charro Negro…”
“Yes, Bishop, what is it that you like to discuss?”
“I wanted to know what has been his situation with you...when he came two months ago, I told you that he could stay at your Ministry because you asked for it...naturally, the priests and monks are afraid that he would lose control...The Cardinal of the country already knows the situation...he tolds us to stay alert…”
Father Clemente looks at the birds and replies; “I know that the church is against me giving him a place to stay and that is normal, I mean...he is…”
“Stop...you shouldn’t say that outloud…”
“Right...sorry, he is what he is...but he is also a teenager who likes to watch television, goes to school and has friends...he is not a monster that needs to be feared…”
“Father Clemente, aren't you getting too attached to him? That situation also worries me…”
“You do not need to worry, I am fully aware of my responsibility as a member of the church. I may be retired, but I am still a member of the Order of the Holy Cross...However, how can I be cold to someone who risked his life and saved my daughters from the Chupacabras…”
The Bishop chuckles; “You got a point...eventhough the others think it’s a bad idea and that we should arrest the Charro Negro...I will continue to support your idea, and I pray to God that someday, we will find peace in this city…”
Father Clemente stands up and begins to walk away; “His name is Uriel Di Fiore...don’t forget, he is still a young man...and don’t worry, if he ever loses control, I will be the one who will put him to rest…”
