《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 235: Special Chapter- Last Day in Mexico; Serenata del Adios (Goodbye Serenade)
Advertisement
Ciudad de Mexico, El Zocalo…
The Last Day in Mexico…The Last day to do something interesting…the students decided to do interesting activities…The final events happen at night…as everyone decides to go to Felicitas Final Concert…
The Zocalo is supported directly on the foundation of the buildings; formerly it consisted of a stony parallelepiped that immediately settled on the ground. In a column, it is called Zocalo (or basement) to the cylindrical piece on which it is supported, and it is for this reason that it is used as a synonym for pedestal.
“Hey Uriel…” Alejandro shouts and waves as his group and Uriel’s group come together. “Hey Alejandro, I see that you had fun, am I right?” Marinette teases Alejandro as she shows a picture of him wrestling.
“Wait…that’s…” Alejandro reacts nervously. Antoine gets closer; “Man, you should’ve seen him, he fought alongside El Jaguar…and he even earned a handshake…and an autograph…”
“YEAH!THIS CHAVAL IS SUPER STRONG!” Angel and Crespo also approach him. Alejandro blushes:
“You guys…”
(BADUMP)
Madeleine smiles as she thinks; “This sensation, no doubt…I am really…”
Alejandro looks at Uriel; “How are you feeling man?”
“I’ve been better…don’t worry about it…” Uriel looks at Adihe:
“How was the show?”
“It was fun…I enjoyed seeing Alejandro fight…” Adihe looks embarrassed, he goes with Xochitl as they begin to talk between them.
“I can’t believe that a few days ago, they were our enemies…” Alejandro looks at them, Uriel nods in agreement.
“UN APLAUSO PARA LA BELLA CANTANTE; FELICITAS!” (A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL SINGER; FELICITAS)
(CLAP CLAP CLAP)
The announcer presents Felicitas, the lights turn off. The crowd applauds Felicitas. Felicitas waves at them as she prepares to sing.
-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-
“Esta es una canción para una persona que quiero muchísimo y que está entre ustedes escuchando…” (This is a song for a person I love very much and who is among you listening…)

Suddenly, everyone in the group sees Uriel. Uriel acts as if he didn't notice. Felicitas begins to sing:
-♪ A dónde irá
Veloz y fatigada
La golondrina
Que de aquí se va
Por si en el viento
Se hallara extraviada
Buscando abrigo
Y no lo encontrara ♫-
(Where will he go
fast and tired
The swallow
What goes from here
In case in the wind
She will be lost
looking for shelter
and you won't find it)
Note; This song is called “Las Golondrinas” composed by by Mexican composer Narciso Serradel Sevilla in 1883. All rights reserved…This song is used mostly in Graduations as it explains the parting of a Swallow and how the author wonders if he will ever see it again.
Uriel closes his eyes as he thinks; “This song…it reminds me of them…” Uriel remembers people from his past.
Alejandro hears that song; “I see…what a beautiful song…” Alejandro remembers all the events that happened during their journey. Alejandro opens his eyes:
“What will happen in the future? I need to be stronger in order to prevent this from happening again…”
Felicitas sings the last versed:
-♪ Junto a mi lecho
Le pondré su nido
En donde pueda
La estación pasar
También yo estoy
En la región perdido
Oh cielo santo!
Y sin poder volar♫-
(Next to my bed
I will put your nest
where i can
the station pass
I'm also
in the lost region
Oh good heavens!
And without being able to fly)
Felicitas finishes the song.-CLAP CLAP CLAP- People cheer as Felicitas finishes the song. Uriel notices her expression, and chuckles; “I understand…” Uriel walks to the back. Victoria notices:
“Uriel, where are you going?”
“I need to use the restroom…” Uriel disappears between the crowd.
***************************************************************************
Near the dressing rooms…
Uriel decided to look for Felicitas, he went backstage in search of her…

“Disculpe joven pero no puede…” (Excuse young man, but you can’t…) Uriel knocks the guard unconscious and walks to the door that has Felicitas’ name written.
(KNOCK KNOCK)
“Come in…”
Uriel enters the trailer, Felicitas combs her hair; “Uriel, I see that you understood my message…”
“Well, you made it clear…”
Felicitas looks at the mirror; “Uriel, I called you here, not just to ask if you enjoyed my presentation, but also to speak about what happened to you on that night?”
Uriel remembers the events inside the volcano; “I used the power of the Horseman in order to stop the Gods…”
“I see…and how are you feeling?”
“To be honest…ever since that night…my desires have increased, the desire of lust, power and wrath…I feel as if…I am losing control…” Uriel trembles as he sees his hand. Felicitas holds his hand:
“Muchacho, you don’t have to be afraid…it’s normal to feel that way…the power of War is something that can be controlled…but it requires patience…believe in yourself…if my drunken grandpa managed to control it…so can you…”
Uriel chuckles; “You really loved him, am I right?”
“I did…he was a kind man with the desire to protect those who he cared about, just like you…”
Felicitas looks shy; “Can I ask you for one more last favor?”
“What is it?”
Felicitas hugs Uriel tightly; “Can we stay like this for a few minutes…it’s been a long time and I wanted to hug you at least one more time…Grandpa…”
Uriel smiles a little and hugs her back; “I guess, it’s alright…Felicitas…”
Felicitas with tears in her eyes remembers her grandpa and the last time she hugged him; “Thank you…”
***************************************************************************
The next day, the plane begins to take off…Felicitas looks from afar at the tallest building near the airport…
“So, young successor, it was a great honor meeting you…may your travels guide you a better future…remember to always follow your belief and don’t ever feel doubt…you are going to come across difficult ordeals but this is where you must show the power in your soul…Muchacho, I wish we could meet again in the near future…although I doubt we will because the path that you chose will lead you to disaster…I wish you the best of luck and don’t forget that you will always have an ally by your side…enjoy this serenade as a way of me saying goodbye…”
As the plane takes off, Felicitas takes out her violin and plays it as she sings the final verse of the song:
-♪Mi corazón
Al tuyo acercare
Voy recordando
Tierna golondrina
Recordare
Mi patria y lloraré♫-
(Dear bird
beloved pilgrim
My heart
I will approach yours
I'm remembering
tender swallow
I will remember
my country and I will cry)
Uriel looks at the building and notices Felicitas. -BADUMP- He feels sadness as she slowly disappears from his sight, Uriel sheds a tear as he think:
“Thank you…Felicitas…”
And so…the journey to Mexico came to a close…a new chapter will begin as Uriel and Alejandro face a bigger threat that awaits them…
The End…
