Sun City; Mayor’s Office
Later that evening, in the Mayor's Office...Darius Lucifugus and Nathaniel Gonzalez had a conversation…
“Hahaha...I’m telling you, there is no better beer than the one that they serve downtown Darius…” Nathaniel says as he drinks from a mug of beer.
“You seem very happy Nathaniel...despite your city almost being destroyed by a Giant Sombra…”
“Ah come one, everything worked out...I will give them some money and make the repairs later...no sweat…”
“You sure are weird fellow...anyway, I want your son to go to Brazil to investigate the Golden City in two months time...don’t forget that…”
“I know I know...let me drink in peace…” Nathaniel drinks one more time; “Now that is life...I’m going to the club later tonight...want to come?”
“No...I have to meet with someone…”
“Are you talking about the weird bounty hunter...man that guy is just a bluff...I mean I can’t believe you hired someone like him…” Nathaniel bursts into laughter. -CLICK- Without warning, Coyote appears in a suit and puts his pistol onto Nathaniel’s forehead.
“Careful partner, such strong words for someone who just ran away last night and abandoned his city...If I want I can put this bullet between your eyes....”
Nathaniel is frozen with fear, Darius chuckles; “Don’t do that Coyote, he’s still useful...Nathaniel get out of here now…”
“R-R-Right…” Nathaniel stands up and walks out of the office, glaring at Coyote. Coyote puts away his pistol; “Why do you keep him alive? He’s just an idiot…”
“I know that, but he is a useful puppet.” Darius chuckles, he offers a glass of wine to Coyote, Coyote accepts and sits down on a chair in front of Darius’ desk.
Coyote takes out the Gem of Kukulkan and puts it on Darius’ desk; “Mission Accomplished…”
“Excellent...I can always count on you...Coyote…” Darius smiles as he grabs the Gem; “Your payment was already sent to your account...I sent a little extra for taking back the Gem…”
“No problem...now Darius, why did you let the Gem be stolen?”
“Good Question, perhaps I wanted to know what the last king of the Mayans was capable off…”
“Something so simple right?”
“I am a simple man after all...so...how is Roberto’s son doing...is he becoming more powerful?”
“Yes, he is...he might become strong enough to defeat you Darius…”
Darius laughs as he walks towards the window to see the city; “You know that is great news...I want to kill Roberto’s legacy in a fair battle. Right now, if we were to fight, I would just kill him in an instant…”

“I know, that’s why I warned him about going up against you…”
“You did good in telling him that…”
“I know… so Darius, is there anything else that you need from me?”
“For the moment, I don't, however, I will pay you in advance to hunt someone, that person will come to you in the near future, so be prepared to greet him in your town…” Darius hands over a wanted poster to Coyote, Coyote sees the picture and laughs:
“Now this is interesting, I was already planning on hunting him down…”
Coyote stands up and prepares to leave, Darius makes another question; “Hey Coyote...are you still looking for a place to die?”
“That I am...but, there is someone who I can’t leave alone right now...I must first see her safe…”
At that moment, a beautiful girl with blonde hair with curls, a doll like dress and blue eyes enters the office running and hugs Coyote; “GRANDPA GRANDPA”
Coyote smiles; “Cassidy, my child...did you have fun yesterday?”
“I did Grandpa...Anastasia is a really good person…” Cassidy replies with a smile. Anastasia enters the room and bows her head:
“I have returned, Master Darius.”
“You did a great job, Anastasia...please return to your student duties...you are dismissed…” A portal opens behind her; “As you wish…” Anastasia enters the portal.
Coyote carries Cassidy and begins to leave; “I’ll be taking my leave...until next time, Darius…”
Coyote walks with Cassidy as he smiles pampering her. Darius chuckles; “Everyone has a witness...and the Greatest Bounty Hunter’s weakness is her…”

“Hurry up Daniel...or we are going to be late…” Fabiola says as they eat breakfast. Daniel calmly eats his breakfast and turns to see Fabiola:
“Sheesh you’re annoying already...it’s early morning you know…”
“What did you say?”
“You two look more like siblings when you do that, you know that?” Sister Carolina says as she walks past them.
“NO WE DON’T” Both of them reply at the same time. Uriel enters the dining, he is wearing his school uniform:
“Good morning…”
“Hey Big Brother, I see that you won’t ditch school today…”
“I see that you are actually continuing school…”
“Well, I got bored being here, so might as well…” Daniel and Uriel chuckle and fistbump as a greeting. Fabiola looks at them jealous thinking:
“I wish I could do the same with him…”
“Uriel, are you feeling well?” Mariana asks Uriel, Uriel nods in agreement as he sits down and eats his breakfast.

“Mariana, you sure have gained confidence in two days huh…” Abril teases with her. Mariana blushes and says; “Well...I try…”
Valerie enters the dining hall:
“GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!”
“Good morning...you see as high spirits as usual…” Uriel says to Valerie; “Well of course because I want to present you the new member of the family; TAA-DAA”
Estrella walks in, she now has cut her up to her shoulders and fixed. She is wearing the school uniform. She shyly enters the dining hall and says:
“G-G-Good morning…”
“Good morning, Estrella...you look beautiful…” Mariana says with a smile, Abril quickly runs and hugs her:
“Wow, you look really nice...you did an excellent job Valerie…”
“Of course, I needed to make her the prettiest…”
Fabiola stands up and goes to Estrella, she pulls her hand and says:
“Come here, your breakfast will get cold…”
“O-O-Okay…”
Fabiola sits Estrella next to her. Fabiola smiles at her as she says; “You need to eat up okay...my new sister has to be strong and healthy…”
Estrella smiles at her and replies; “OKAY!” Estrella eats with joy, everyone smiles and enjoys the peaceful moment.
After breakfast, everyone leaves for school. Daniel goes to school along with the four girls. Uriel goes in the other direction with Valerie. Daniel’s group walks down the street as they hear:
“Hey Jefe…”
Daniel stops and sees the Chuco Clan. The Chuco Clan walks to his side; “ Jefe, we need you to check our homeworks please…”
Daniel sihs with his eyes closed and replies; “Okay, I will help you out but don’t call me Jefe…”
“Right Jefe…”
As they arrive at school, Flor walks towards the girls; “Hello, you must be Estrella...it’s a pleasure, my name is Ms. Gutierrez, if you need any help please let me know…”
Estrella nervously replies; “Y-Y-Yes, it 's a pleasure…”
“WWOOWW, SHE’S SO WHITE...WHAT A BEAUTY!”
Estrella rapidly gains the attention of the boys, Fabiola quickly steps forward; “Please leave my sister alone…”
Daniel, who walks from afar, chuckles; “She really is her Big Sister…”
“Daniel, is this going to be okay?” Flor asks Daniel, Daniel nods in agreement; “Of course, by having her with us, she will be at peace…besides…”
Daniel begins to walk to the classrooms as he says:
“The power of the Shadow Tamer will be needed in the future...I can feel it…”

After crossing the bridge, Uriel and Valerie walk to school…
Valerie walks, humming out of happiness, Uriel notices that and asks; “You’re looking really happy today…”
“Well, it’s because my Big Brother is finally coming back to school...I missed you so much…”
“I see...well, at least you’re okay…”
Valerie smiles at Uriel. Suddenly, her smile stops as she hears someone calling Uriel; “UUURRRIIEELLL!”
Uriel turns to see Victoria running and hugging his arm; “Good morning…”
“Good morning…” Uriel replies, Valerie is in shock and says; “Hey, why are you so clingy with my brother…”
“Well...your brother and I have an unfinished date...too bad the earthquake interrupted it…”
Valerie looks at Uriel asking; “I thought you erased her memories about the events the other day?”
“I did, but everything related to the Sombras, but nothing from the date…”
“Sheesh brother, you gigolo…”
Uriel walks with Victoria hugging his arm. Valerie walks alongside angry. At that moment, someone else appears and hugs the other arm; “Hey, what are you doing with my friend?”
Tiwa says as he pulls Uriel’s arm. Victoria makes a fake smile; “Well...I have the right, I’m her friend too…”
“I am more her friend than you…”
“No...I am…”
Victoria and Tiwa stare at each other, Uriel sighs with his eyes closed and begins to walk; “We’re going to be late, hurry up…”
“Right…”
As they walk, Victoria says; “Aww man, I have a student council meeting...the new president is a real slave driver…”
“New President?” Uriel asks Victoria, Valerie looks down as she says; “Yes, he is very strict…”
They arrive at the entrance, they walk to the entrance as students begin to say; “Hey...it’s the president...make way…”
Uriel and Tiwa turn to see who it was. Tiwa opens her eyes wider as she sees a young man with brownish hair and orange colored eyes. Following him is Anastasia who has a bunch of papers with her.
“It can’t be…” Tiwa says surprised, Uriel turns around to face the new president. The new president with a serious face, he slowly walks past Uriel and Tiwa. The New President continues walking without even looking at them. Uriel with a serious expression doesn’t move either.
The Student Council President continues walking and enters the school building; “Anastasia, please give me the documents for the meeting…”
“Yes sir, here they are…”
Uriel and Tiwa are in shock as Tiwa says in a low tone; “Alejandro…”
The New Student Council President is...Alejandro Sanchez…

This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.
