《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.

Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
