《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 140: The Silver Hero Awakens
Advertisement
Unknown...
A strange place, similar to a desert...someone walks aimlessly as his end is near…
(STEP STEP STEP)
“Where am I?”
A young man walks down the desert, wind blows hard causing the sand to rise, creating a sandstorm. This desert is different, it has Silver color sand, the sky has so many stars that it resembles an ocean.
“What was I doing?” The young man continues walking aimlessly, he doesn’t remember who he was, where he came from or where he was going.
He is covered in bruises and cuts, his clothes are torn up, he continues to walk as he hears a voice from afar:
“NDRO...ANDRO...ALEJANDRO...ALEJANDRO…”
“Alejandro? Who is that?” The young man falls to his knees and begins to cry as he sees images from the past:
(SSSSSLLLAASSHHHH)
Blood falls into Alejandro’s face as he sees a mana sword piercing through Jairo’s chest. Blood comes out of Jairo’s mouth as he slowly falls to the ground.
“JJJJAAAIIIRROOOO!” Alejandro screams as he looks at Typhoon.
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
“Alejandro? Who is that?” The young man falls to his knees and begins to cry; “I don’t know who I am, I only remember seeing, someone died…Was I a coward...why can’t I remember who I am…”
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
“My journey ends here...but yours is only the beginning, please, stay strong...and don’t worry, the ladies always like the brave one better, don’t forget that….Good bye...my friend…” Jairo slowly lets go of Alejandro.
“NO... THESE IMAGES...NO…”Alejandro sinks in the silver sand, more memories appear:
Alejandro kicks Anastasia, sending her to one of the beds. Anastasia tries to stand up but Alejandro begins to kick her multiple times; “Master, what are you doing?”
“I want you to die…”

“The truth is, I already felt something like that, but Master, I did not say anything because I am your tool…”
“SHUT UP, I AM NOT YOUR MASTER...YOU ARE A TOOL THAT I WILL USE...I HATE YOU...I HATE YOU...I HATE YOU…”
Alejandro, who is sinking, begins to cry; “Maybe it’s best if I just disappear…”
At that moment, the Crimson Moon appears, illuminating a figure who stands on his horse up on a hill. The shadow it creates covers Alejandro; “Hey, you idiot, don’t go dying on me that easily…”
“That voice...it can’t be…” Alejandro turns around and sees the figure of a Charro mounting his horse.
“Uriel?” Alejandro asks the figure. The figure doesn’t say anything. Suddenly, Jairo’s spirit appears and begins to pull Alejandro:
“Alejandro...don’t give up...you must save that girl...you must become a hero…”
“Jairo, it’s you...I’m sorry...you died because of…”
“No...I died because I wanted to protect my friend...I wanted to protect the Silver Hero…”
Alejandro begins to sink faster, Jairo pulls harder; “Come on...you need to move...come on, don’t die...don’t lose…”
“Jairo...I…”
“Alejandro...Alejandro...Don’t give up...I believe in you...come on…” Alejandro sees Valerie standing in front of the hill waving at him.
“See? You are not alone, you still have friends...Come on...move…”
Alejandro cries of joy; “Thank you...Jairo… I miss you...but I know that you are in a better place…”
“I am...Alejandro...take care and don’t go dying on me too soon...I will see you again...but please let it be 100 years in the future…” Jairo begins to disappear, Alejandro wipes his tears as he says:
“Thank you, my friend...I won’t let you down…”
He begins to move towards the figure, forcing his way through the Silver sand.

“That’s right...I know who you are...and I know who I am...I...am…the Silver Hero...” Alejandro reaches the hill and a silver mustang stands in front of him. The Mustang gets close to him, Alejandro gets nervous at first, however, he calls himself:
“Hello...are you going to be my partner?”
The Silver Mustang lower its head, Alejandro pats the head:
“From now on...we are going to be one…”
The Silver Mustang and Alejandro begin to shine in a silver color as the world he was in... begins to crumble and disappear...
