《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.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
