《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 50: The Di Fiore Family part 2
Advertisement
In the dining room, Maria and her children eat some breakfast, Sister Carolina and Father Clemente introduce the sisters:
“Allow me to introduce three of my students: Fabiola, Mariana and Abril. They all are 13 years old.”
“It is a pleasure to meet you.” The three of them greet themselves to Maria.
Abril is a young girl that has brown skin, black hair and light brown eyes. She has a thin, not so developed body, and she is always hyperactive and smiling.
Mariana is a young girl that has white skin, brown hair, and also light brown eyes, unlike Abril she is very shy. She has a thin body with regular breast size.
Fabiola is a young girl that has blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She has a thin well developed body and she acts more mature despite her age.
Maria has a suspicious face, drinks her tea and says: “Only three, what is going on here. Sister Carolina please tell us what happened.”
Sister Carolina and the other nuns lower their heads and then Carolina says:
“Very well, I will tell you everything.” Carolina stands up and continues to explain.
“I see, there is no doubt that Darius is behind all of this…” Maria expresses her furious tone. She looks at Sister Carolina and smiles:
“So Uriel defeated the Chupacabras...I am very proud of him.”
Valerie looks at Sister Carolina and asks:
"So, is Uriel at school right now?"
"That's right, however due to his injuries, he is staying with a friend right now…"
"A friend? Uriel has a friend?"
"That's right, his name is Alejandro…"
"Alejandro?"
The three of them try to remember that name. Valerie scratches her head:
"Alejandro...I know I heard that name before.."
"Well he is super optimistic and has helped around the Ministry…I'm sure you'll meet him later on…"
Valerie stands up, and runs to the door; “You know what mom, I can’t wait, so I am going to see my brother now…”

“Now? Oh, alright, make sure to bring him here okay…”
“Alright...are you coming Daniel?”
Daniel lies back on the chair; “No thank you, I will wait for you here…”
“Alright then, I’m off…” Valerie goes out the door.
“Wait… Maria, are you letting her go alone? Someone can kidnap her or worse…”
Maria chuckles; “I wouldn’t worry too much Sister…”
“But…”
Daniel takes out his phone; “My mom is right...despite her looks, Valerie is strong…”
Maria drinks from her teacup; “She might be stronger than me…”
Father Clemente and Sister Carolina look surprised. Daniel continues to explain; “One time, a man tried to steal her purse and you know what happened next?”
“What happened?” The girls ask Daniel.
“An ambulance came for that man, because Valerie broke two of his limbs and 3 ribs…:
Everyone looks in shock, meanwhile, Valerie runs with her pink coat singing:
♪ I will see my brother again….I want to see him again….I can’t wait….♫
At the dining room, Maria finishes her tea. Father Clemente looks at the sisters and says:
“Hijas, why don’t you show Daniel around and take him to his room.”
“OKKKAAYYY” Mariana and Abril reply with excitement.
“I don’t feel like it…” Fabiola says, crossing her arms. Carolina steps forward; “NOW…”
“O-o-okay…”
“Mother, do I have too?” Daniel asks Maria, Maria looks at him with a fake smile. Daniel immediately understands and stands up.
“Okay, okay…”
The four of them leave the dining room, Daniel leaves a beeping device on the other side of the door.
“Hurry Daniel”
“I’m coming…”
At the dining room, Father Clemente looks at Maria and asks:
“Maria, don’t tell me that you came here to kill Darius?"
"..." Maria doesn't say a word at first, she grabs her Rosary and says:
"Father, I came here with the sole purpose of applying justice to the Borderland...I know that sooner or later that justice will come…"

"But killing a man? Maria, I don't want you to ruin your soul…"
"My soul was ruined 5 years ago, when I lost my husband and son…"
-TCH- Father Clemente remains silent, Sister Carolina looks worried as she sees Maria’s determination. Maria sighs:
“Look, I only want justice...that is all…”
Carolina puts her hand on Father Clemente’s shoulder:
“I understand, Maria, I will support you...however, if you begin to move away from your sense of justice and go to the path of revenge, I will stop you…”
Maria smiles; “It’s a deal...now tell me, how is my son doing?”
Father Clemente sighs with his eyes closed; “Very well, you win Maria...as for your son…”
He stands up and continues speaking; “Your son is a very polite and gentle person. He helps with the chores and prepares dinner for us without anyone asking. He has a pure soul however…”
Clemente puts a serious expression; “I know you also felt it before, but he has a powerful darkness within him. I thought it was just a Sombra-like situation or a demon but he was different...I can’t put it in words…”
“I already know Father....I also felt it a long time ago...Uriel has a pure soul but he was corrupted when he made a pact with El Charro…”
“Maria, how can you be certain that he is your son? I mean there are no records or photos...how can you be sure…”
Maria looks at the window, the clouds cover the sun:
“A long time ago, I tried to kill him…”
Sister Carolina and Father Clemente are in shock as they hear Maria’s confession. Maria continues to explain:
“I was weak and let myself be possessed by an evil spirit. That scar that he has on his left eye was made because he protected me from the spirit who possessed me. He protected me, even though I tried to kill him...it was at that moment that Roberto appeared in a vision and told me about our son, Uriel…”
Maria cries as she finishes explaining:
“I tried to kill my son, then the evil spirit tried to kill me, but Uriel defended me. I was on the floor, Uriel stood in front of me, protecting me from the spirit. He turned around and smiled at me even when he was injured...I decided to believe in Roberto’s words and decided to defend my son for the rest of my life…”
Sister Carolina hugs Maria; “It must’ve been hard trying to be brave right?”
Maria cries hugging Sister Carolina. Father Clemente pats her head; “Hija, you are strong and brave...that’s why I never doubted that Uriel was your son. Because he is the same as you...he had no obligation to help us deal with the Chupacabras and yet, he save Fabiola and defeated the monster”
Maria smiles; “I know...Uriel is my son after all…”
“Hhhmmmpphhh...I don’t buy it, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt…” Daniel thinks to himself as he listen to all the conversation. He walks with the nuns who are giving a tour of the Ministry.
Maria walks outside to the back yard and she draws a huge circle with little crosses around it. She makes a cut in her hand and blood begins to fall to the ground. She chants:
“En el nombre del Señor, protege este hogar de humildad”
Translates: (In the name of the lord, protect this humble home.)
A huge golden barrier begins to surround the Ministry and closes the entire area. The barrier begins to turn invisible. Maria thinks to herself:
“I hope we will be alright, I know they felt our presence. Uriel, my son, I want to see you...”

Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.

Avatar: Jǫrðsaga
There is beauty in Chaos and serenity in Order. One cannot exist without the other. Each gives meaning to their counterpart, eternal rivals and eternal lovers. It’s a shame only a rare few ever come to this revelation. Most live their lives trapped in an illusion, their path to enlightenment forever cut off. A lie will forever remain a lie, no matter how sweet it is. I will not turn a blind eye to the truth of the world. It matters not what others think of me, be they family, friends, allies, or enemies. They may call me a monster, a devil, a lunatic even. But I will not bend. I will not break. I will not be forced into conformity under threat posed by the child of Order. Because what is Order if not Chaos’ accomplice? There is only one path worth treading, and I will do whatever it takes to advance forward. For I am Sǫlmundr, Lord of the Earth. Avatar series fanfic. The first volume will not have anything canon. I apologise in advance. It will be setting up the mcs background and origins. It’s gonna be between 60 to 70 chapters in length. The power system in the avatar is pretty non-confrontational. You don’t have to fight for resources like in cultivation novels, so the frequency of his evil acts will be pretty spread out. This is a slow burn novel that I hope will draw readers into the world and slowly build up to whatever the climax of each arc is. I can only promise that he will always be a rational, benefits based mc. No harem. There will be love of some sort, but only because I’m literally forced by the power system to include it. Don’t worry though, mc will always prioritise his own interests first and will not let feelings get in the way. Chapter length: ≈ 2k words Updates: Once a week
