《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 28: Yggdrasil (The World Tree) part 3
Advertisement
Alejandro stands looking at the sky, thinking:
“Grandfather, who can I trust?”
“Are you okay, Alejandro?” Sister Carolina walks towards Alejandro. Alejandro lowers his head.
“Sister, I grew up thinking that people that surrounded me wanted to be with me. But all I learned is that they only felt sorry or were on a mission.”
Alejandro makes a fist and tears come out of his eyes. Sister Carolina hugs him, Alejandro blushes as he thinks:
“Whoa, they are big…”
“It’s okay to feel that way, you’re human. But try to forgive them. You must also remember that even if Ms. Gutierrez was on a mission, I think she did it on her own free will.”
Alejandro remembers every time that Rosa helped him or was by his side.Tears come out as he smiles:
“You’re right, thank you…”
“Now come on, because the meeting isn’t over yet.” Sister Carolina pulls Alejandro from his arm and they head back.
“Remember that God has put you in a place where we are not fake…”
Alejandro smiles and thinks:
“Maybe you’re right, and maybe I found my home…”
******************************************************************************
The sphere that Kasumi activated shines down forming the hologram of a man...
The man in the hologram has short blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. The man walks in front of the table looks at Uriel and says:
“It’s great to finally meet you, Roberto’s son.”
Uriel stands up and says; “How do you know my father?”
The man begins to laugh and introduces himself:
“My name is Allan Carter, I am the Director of the American continent division of Yggdrasil: The World Tree”
“I take it you are the leader?”
“Indeed I am…”
Allan then continues his explanation:
“Roberto was part of this division in fact he was my predecessor 5 years ago and Kasumi’s mentor. As for how do we know you, that is a secret”
Allan says, pointing at her. Uriel hears his father’s name and lowers his head.
(BADUMP)
Suddenly, his head begins to hurt. Father Clemente and Tiwa notice and put on a worried face. Allan says clearing his throat:

“I’m really sorry about your father, that night 5 years ago an “organization” attacked many branches around the region leaving us powerless.”
Uriel looks up to Allan and says:
“My father did his best to save us and he did it successfully. Unfortunately, I don’t remember him, so don’t feel bad about it.”
“That’s interesting, why can’t you remember?” Allan asks Uriel. Everyone stares at him waiting for an answer.
“That’s something personal that I can’t reveal right now…”
Allan laughs and says to Uriel: “I understand, now then, time to get down to business...I need you to help us with this operation, that is why I asked Katsumi to bring me to talk to you.”
Uriel sits down and asks: “What do you need my help for?”
“We know that you are the new “Charro Negro.” According to our info, you have been constantly hunting down the Kage, am I right?”
“....” Uriel doesn’t respond to Allan he continues to explain:
“So the help we need is for you to hand over Alejandro Sanchez to our care…”
“What?” Uriel gets mad, Allan continues to explain:
“Alejandro Sanchez found a golden key 5 years ago, and two weeks ago, a strange phenomenon happened..”
Alejandro enters the room, Allan points at Alejandro’s hand that has a seal and explains:
“Alejandro fused himself with the key, now he is one with it. We of Yggdrasil promise to protect him from now on as his personal bodyguard. What do you say?”
Alejandro is speechless, Uriel looks at Allan:
“Denied…”
“What was that?” Carlos stands up and walks directly to Uriel.
“Look punk, we are not playing around, that idiot over there must come with us, he is a target for the man named “El Muerto”, do you understand?”
“El Muerto?”
“That’s right, the man with the skeleton mask is the one who controls the Borderland. Alejandro, come with us, you’ll be safe.” Mr. Jairo says to Alejandro.
“NOW WAIT JUST A SECOND, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE HIM, AS A MEMBER OF YSLETA TRIBE, HE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY…” Tiwa stands next to Alejandro who blushes.

“Look girl, you have no word here, Alejandro will come with us, that’s an order…” Carlos says to Tiwa causing Alejandro to get angry and scream:
“WHY SHOULD I GO WITH YOU, I DON’T TRUST YOU AT ALL…”
Alejandro looks down making a fist:
“Look, I know my hand is dangerous and that I am a target but I can’t trust you. I will stay here because this is my new home.”
The others stand up, Kasumi looks at Alejandro and says:
“Alejandro, I’m afraid you have no choice, you will come with us and that’s final.”
“You heard her, you’re coming with…”
Suddenly,everyone is paralyzed as they feel Uriel’s aura increasing.
“That’s enough, Alejandro belongs here, you say that he is the target, what I see is that Alejandro is also your target, am I wrong?”
-TCH- The room is filled with tension as Father Clemente and Sister Carolina look at thm nervously.
(CLAP CLAP CLAP)
Allan claps as he says; “Okay now, I think things got out of hand here. Carlos, step away from them, and everyone, sit down.”
Allan looks at Uriel, smiles and says:
“I have a better idea. Let’s form an alliance. Uriel, you are strong so I need you to help Kasumi to stop the man known as “El Muerto” who released the Chupacabras”
Allan says to Uriel, surprising everyone in the room. Kasumi stands up and says:
“W-W-Wait I’m fine doing this by myself.”
Allan begins to laugh at Katsumi saying:
“Come on, I know you want to, you told me yesterday that he was handsome.”
Kasumi’s face turns red and begins to punch Allan's hologram. Carlos gets furious and Chelsea laughs.
“Senpai” Shion blushes as she looks at Kasumi. Kasumi with anger says:
“I know what I said but please don’t repeat that in front of him. Yes he is my type but I d-d-d.” Kasumi turns around and sees everyone and steam come out of her head. She sits down with her hands covering her face. Allan only laughs at the situation.
Uriel makes a small cough and comments:
“So, you need my help...”
“Hold on, I want to know if he is strong or if what I saw the other night was just luck.” Kasumi exclaims as she stands up looking at Allan. Allan asks Kasumi:
“So, this means you want to test his strength?”
“Yes I want to duel him” Kasumi replies with a serious tone, she stands up looking at Uriel:
“I challenge you to a duel”
Everyone looks surprised; “WWWWHHHHAAATTTT?”
Uriel chuckles and with a confident expression. He stands up and stands in front of Kasumi:
“Sounds interesting, I am eager to put my abilities to use...”
Allan begins to laugh. Kasumi sees Uriel's serious face as she smiles and says:
“Very well let’s go to the hills on the back of the Ministry outside the city. We will duel there.”
Uriel looks at Father Clemente; “Father, do we have your permission”
“Of course, I like seeing the young ones duel…”
“Very well, if Kasumi wins, Alejandro will come with us and Uriel, you will stay away from the Chupacabras as Kasumi said. And if you win, you will have Kasumi as your bride…”
“WHAT THE HELL?” Carlos screams with jealousy.
“B-B-Bride?” Kasumi blushes, everyone is in shock.
Allan makes a smirk; “Just kidding...Uriel, if you win,you can decide what we do plus I will tell you how we know that you are Roberto’s son.”
Uriel smiles and replies; “It’s a deal…”
Allan’s hologram disappears. Everyone heads to the door, Uriel opens the door and the three sisters are at the door saying; “We will come too.”
Sister Carolina looks at the three sisters: "You can’t, it’s too dangerous”
“Let them come with us, this is going to be interesting…” Father Clemente says to Sister Carolina.
“Are you okay?” Tiwa asks Alejandro, Alejandro smiles and replies:
“I am thank you…”
Tiwa blushes and crosses her arms; “It’s not as if I was worried or anything…”
Alejandro scratches his head wondering what happened.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
