《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 130: Alejandro's Downfall
Advertisement
The Sun has set...in the mountains there is a small graveyard located in the deepest part of the mountains... The graveyard has a gate with a sign that says "CIBOLA"
At the entrance, Navajo sits in a boulder with his legs crossed. He has his eyes closed as he remembers the destruction of his clan. Navajo sees his people slaughtered by other tribes. -TCH- “I wish I could have done more...but don’t worry my brethren...soon, I will bring you all back…” Navajo opens his eyes and smiles:
“You’re late...Alejandro, the moon is almost red…”
“Sorry, it took some time to get here while dragging her along…” Alejandro comes out of a shadow walking towards Navajo, he has Anastasia tied up and he is pulling her with a rope.
“I never thought you could be so brutal...I mean treating a woman that way…” Navajo chuckles as he teases Alejandro, Alejandro expresses anger:
“Shut up, she is a tool for my usage, that’s all...and now, she will serve her purpose…”
“Oh well. let’s begin then...time to resurrect the dead…”
Alejandro drags a barely conscious Anastasia to the graveyard. It is surrounded by a wood fence. There are seven tombs in that place. Six of them are in a position that creates a circle surrounding one that is in the middle.
“Okay Alejandro, now put her in the middle of the circle where you found the golden key…” Navajo says to Alejandro. Alejandro obeys and puts her in the circle. Navajo takes out some golden dust and begins to form a circle surrounding her; “With this, your mana and soul will serve as a sacrifice...and with it, you will serve as the revival of the Navajo tribe…oh, and your friend Jairo while we are at it...”

Anastasia doesn’t say anything, she only looks at Alejandro without any expression. Alejandro remembers the conversation he had with Navajo on that rainy night…
***************************************************************************
February 24th; Plaza de los Lagartos (Alligator Plaza)
Alejandro and Navajo had an important conversation:
“My tribe was destroyed...and I need that key to use its powers to restore it…”
“And how will you do that?” Alejandro asks Navajo, Navajo shakes his finger; “Sorry that is a secret...so...Alejandro, I proposed to you a deal...one where you will get rid of the golden key and I obtain that power...so what do you say…” Navajo extends his hand to Alejandro, Alejandro denies it:
“No way, I am not stupid, I know that you will only use me...am I right?”
“Fufufu, well I do want you...so you’re half right…”
“I knew it…” Alejandro says, stepping back, Navajo continues to speak; “Now, now...I know that you are a pure hearted guy so I would like to make another offer, think of it as a bonus...if you help me with this plan, I will revive your dead friend…”
Alejandro opens his eyes wider, lighting flashes in the sky as Navajo smiles at him. Alejandro nervously asks; “Are you telling the truth, you can bring Jairo back?” Navajo replies; “Of course...with the power of the golden key everything is possible, including bringing back the dead…”
Alejandro trembles; “Bringing him back? If you can do that...then…” Navajo chuckles; “Fufufu, I know that he didn’t deserve to die, and that you feel guilt for what happened to him right? Even worse, I bet that people blame you for what happened...but don’t feel bad, you were only acting the best way…”
Alejandro falls into his knees; “I never wanted him to die...I only wanted to help…” Navajo gets close to him; “So what do you say? Do we have a deal?” Navajo extends his hand, Alejandro stands up and grabs Navajo’s hand; “Very well, I accept...but, you will bring Jairo back…”

Navajo’s eyes begin to shine; “Excellent...you made the correct choice my sweet Alejandro...now for the things we need…first we must head to the Cibola cemetery located at the outside of this city...that place connects with the land of the dead...we will need some materials that I have and your golden key…”
Alejandro nods in agreement, Navajo says one more thing; “Oh...and we will need a sacrifice…” Alejandro looks surprised:
“A sacrifice?” Navajo makes a fist; “That’s right, however, it must be the person you hate the most, if we do someone random then the spell won’t work...it must be someone strong with strong mana...someone like the girl who is always with you…”
“Anastasia? But I don’t hate her?” Alejandro replies, Navajo winks at him:
“Anastasia Lucifugus? I’ve been observing you for a week now, and I know that deep in your heart you hate the Lucifugus, am I right? I can read your heart and the one you hate is Aleister…” Navajo uses the opportunity and stabs Alejandro with his hand.
(SSSLLLAASSSHHHH)
“What are you...doing?” Alejandro panics, Navajo chuckles as he looks at Alejandro’s eyes, his eyes begin to turn hollow:
“I am giving you a gift, the gift that you won’t doubt about your goal…Corrosio” (Corrosion)
Alejandro stops shaking and looks at Navajo with an angry face and hollow eyes; “That’s right, I hate Lucifugus...I hate Anatasia…”
“Good, in one week...you will bring her to me and we will start the ritual to bring Jairo back…” Navajo slowly disappears as Alejandro walks away; “I will bring him back…”
A few hours before the ritual...
Alejandro slowly walks towards her; “Hey, Anastasia...you said that you would do anything for me right?”
“Yes, I did...because you are my master…”
“I see...then would you do anything I ask you?”
“Yes...I would…”
Alejandro makes a sinister smile and touches Anastasia’s shoulder; “Then I have a favor to ask you...would you die for me?”
Anastasia moves back; “Master, what is this malignant mana that I feel...someone is…”
(PPUUMM)
Alejandro kicks Anastasia, sending her to one of the beds. Anastasia tries to stand up but Alejandro begins to kick her multiple times; “Master, what are you doing?”
“I want you to die…”
“The truth is, I already felt something like that, but Master, I did not say anything because I am your tool…”
“SHUT UP, I AM NOT YOUR MASTER...YOU ARE A TOOL THAT I WILL USE...I HATE YOU...I HATE YOU...I HATE YOU…”
Anastasia stops struggling upon hearing those words, Alejandro notices that stops kicking her. He goes to his bed and takes out some rope; “Now, you will obey as the tool you are…”
Alejandro says it with a sinister smile; “Now then...time to die…”

Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon.
