《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 32: The Rhythms in Life
Advertisement
After the duel ended. Carlos, Chelsea, Jairo, and Shion decided to return home. Rosa stayed to help Carolina by preparing dinner for everyone. Uriel and Kasumi also help with the dinner. They were instructed to prepare “mole”. The “Mole” consists of chicken bathed in a special chocolate sauce “Mole” and sometimes people from the southern regions of Mexico add spices to make it more delicious. Uriel and Kasumi have a small talk before dinner:
“You are very skilled in preparing rice Ms. Miyazono.” Uriel compliments Kasumi as she is stirring the rice.
“You think so, well your mother was the one who taught me how to cook Mexican food.” Kasumi says to Uriel as he stirs the sauce. He turns around and asks:
“Wait, so how long have you known my mother and father?”
“Well around 8 years more or less.” Katsumi replies as she begins to serve. She continues to explain:
“I came here from Japan as an order from my father when I was 11 years old. Your father was a full fledged member of Yydrasill at that time. He became my master, and he helped me learn the culture and language of this area. Your mother also welcomed me to your house, you were very little when I met you and your siblings.”
“I see, sorry but I can’t remember…”
“Of course you don’t…” Kasumin looks down; “Hey, Uriel, is your family…”
“My father died that day, but my mother and siblings are alive...They are in Tapatio, however, I haven’t spoken to them for more than a year.”
“I see, that’s a relief…” Kasumi begins to shed a tear as she continues to speak:
“I always regretted not being able to help you that day, I know I was young but I know I could’ve helped my master somehow.”

“Don’t worry about it. On that night, Uriel Vazquez died...but Uriel Di Fiore was born…”
“I understand now…”
Uriel turns around to serve the plates and asks;“So what is this Yggdrasill organization?”
“Well as Allan said before, we protect people from monsters and evil entities such as the one you encounter. I am an “Elite Root” from the organization making me a leader if you put it in simple words. ” Kasumi replies as she begins to serve the rice. Uriel passes the plates with the “Mole” on it and asks:
“So what are these divisions you said before, how many are there?”
“Technically, that is a secret...but since we are going to be allies, I might as well tell you…”
“Okay...I thank you for that…”
“Well the first division are the Leaves, those are the beginners, and they are usually teenagers. Then the branches where Carlos and Chelsea belong. Then the Trunks which are divided into the Upper level where Rosa belongs and the Lower level in which Jairo and Shion belong to. After that, we have “Elite Roots” which is my division and we are supposed to be the strongest members. There are others who are special such as Allan Carter who is in charge of the American region but he is special but that Finally we have the “Primary Roots” who are in charge of the whole organization. My father is one of them.” Kasumi finishes the explanations as well as serving the plates.
In total they made 30 plates for all the people that live nearby. Uriel sees Kasumi and asks:
“Why did your father send you to this region?”
“Well it's complicated, you see I…” Kasumi was answering the question when she suddenly stops as she has “flashes” of her past consisting of images of blood and fire.

Kasumi shakes as she feels weak. Uriel holds her:
“I’m sorry that was too personal, please forgive me.”
Katsumi comes to her senses and smiles at Uriel saying:
“Don’t worry the past is the past right? Besides, you don’t remember yours either.”
Uriel chuckles and makes Kasumi blush.
As the two smile at each other, Fabiola stands between them with a furious face clearing her throat and says:
“Sister Carolina asked if you were ready, and as I can see you are.”
Uriel looks at her; “Indeed, we are”
“Good I’ll start serving the plates.” Fabiola says as she smiles with a “red aura” coming out of her. Kasumi only smiles at her as Fabiola thought to herself:
“Why do you smile at me, you witch”
The two sisters who were outside of the kitchen were whispering; “I think Fabiola is jealous, she must have fallen for Uriel.”
******************************************************************************
Alejandro sits outside looking at the stars, suddenly, Rosa appears to talk to him:
“Hello Alejandro dear...I hope we can have a little chat…”
Alejandro looks at her and nods in agreement. Both of them look at the sky as Rosa begins to speak:
“Alejandro, I must apologize for not telling the truth but it was my mission…”
“I see, but you don’t need to…”
“I do...you see, 5 years ago when I first met you, I immediately saw you as my child. I never had children because my husband died when we were young. He was an agent who was killed in the line of duty.”
Rosa begins to cry as she continue to speak:
“I accepted to come here in order to forget about my husband and when I met you, I felt as if I could move on. I think of you as my son, and it breaks my heart seeing you angry at me, so please...forgive me…”
Alejandro doesn’t say a word and walks forward.
“You know, I never met my parents, my sister is always busy, I haven’t seen her in four years and I lost both of my grandparents. Then my friend disappeared from existence. I felt lonely and without hope. However, when I met you, you helped me stand up once again and continue pursuing my friend. You never left me alone and for that I thank you…”
Alejandro looks at Rosa and smiles:
“Yes, I felt anger for not telling me but I won’t stay mad forever, please continue to watch over me, Ms. Gutierrez.”
Rosa cries and hugs Alejandro tightly.
“Thank you Alejandro, it seems we both learned from each other…”
“Yeah, now let’s go and eat…”
Both of them head to the dining hall and eat.

This is my attempt to go find motivation to write again as this was my favourite hobby. The idea is to be held accountable. As for being non-native, I don't believe that should be a major issue as I feel my proficiency in English to be sufficient enough to not be too much of the distraction. That said, be forewarned that the rules governing punctuation are beyond my grasp. All I can do is try not to completely suck at that. As mentioned this is an attempt to motivate me to write again so any message, encouragement or constructive criticism will go long way.
