《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 209: Inside the Volcano
Advertisement
Unknown…2 hours before the eclipse…
“Where are we?” Dr Escobar opens her eyes. She looks around and notices that they are inside a cage. She notices that there are 6 students with her; Stefan, Angel, Crespo, Madeleine, Marinette and Antoine.
“Doctor, you are awake…that’s a relief…” Stefan, who is holding her smiles with tears.
Dr. Petra Escobar (Age 57) is a Biology Professor...she is a genius that knows about all the life forms on earth. She has brown hair, white skin and hazel eyes.
“Stefan, what happened?”
“I don’t know myself, I was knocked unconscious and woke up here…last thing I checked we were at the temple of the Sun and then…”
Stefan Albu (Age 16) is a student who comes from Eastern Europe. he wears a black cape (Similar to Kirito from SAO) and fingerless gloves. He is nerd-looking, white skin, has black long hair, glasses, brown eyes and he is a bit overweight.
“We were brought here by a man wearing a robe and a skeleton mask…we are no longer in the Pyramid of the Sun” Angel Cortes replies to Stefan; “However, we also lost consciousness…”
Angel Cortes (Age 17) is the next head of the Crespo Royal Family. He has a muscular body, long hazel hair, and yellow eyes.
“That’s right…what I heard, they want to make us living sacrifices…” Crespo replies in a calm manner.
Crespo Cortes (Age 17) is a muscular body guy. He has brown skin, yellow eyes and brown hair.
Crespo makes a small movement and for a blink of a second, he touches Marinette’s elbow. -TCH- Marinette looks at him with disgusts:
“Don´t you dare cross to this side you salute” (Filth)
Marinette LeFleur (Age 16) is a duchess in the royal family of France. She has white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, she has a “royal personality” and likes to be treated as a princess.
Crespo gets angry and replies “Well we don't want you getting near Sucios come queso” (Dirty cheese eaters)

“What did you say? '' Marinette screams with anger. “You heard me, or are you also stupid…” Crespo makes fun of her. Both of them glare at each other.
“Sheesh, why does it have to be so hot…I’m boiling here…and it stinks like a pig…but I guess that’s the Spanish natural odor…” Madeleine chuckles as she makes fun of Crespo.
Madeleine Le Fleur (Age 16) is a duchess in the royal family of France; she also has white skin, blonde loose hair but reddish eyes.
“I had it…you bitch!” Crespo gets closer to her. Antoine gets in front of them; “I won’t let you touch my sister…”
Antoine LeFleur (Age 17) is a French duke who has white skin, blonde colored hair and blue eyes.
“Oh so you want to fight?” Angel also steps forward. The Spanish and the French glare at each other with killing intent.
“THAT’S ENOUGH!” Stefan screams with anger. The five of them look at him, Stefan with tears in his eyes continues to speak:
“You don’t get it do you? Leticia died…one of our classmates died in front of your eyes, am I right Antoine?”
Antoine remembers Leticia getting pulled into the mirror.
“I heard that our other classmates were attacked by Quetzalcoatl…we are in a cage, imprisoned by who knows what…and you heard that we are going to be sacrificed and still…you guys are fighting…what the hell is wrong with you people?”
“Leticia died?” Dr. Escobar trembles as she cries; “It’s all my fault…it’s because that man in the skeleton mask threatened us… and…”
“Doctor, that’s enough…the past is the past…” Stefan looks at her and nods in agreement; “She sacrificed herself to save Ana and these idiots are still fighting…”
“Idiots?” The five of them stare at Stefan. Stefan shakes his head; “That’s right, idiots…you are still fighting for some stupid thing that I don’t care…”
Madeleine begins to speak; “How dare you, our families have been at war for centuries now…we can’t just act like…”

“War? Centuries? Are you even listening to yourself? Right now, in the present…right here, we are not at war…we need to survive…tell me…if you die now…will the war end?”
Everyone looks at Stefan with guilt. Stefan sighs; “That’s what I thought…now then, let’s focus on escaping here…”
“That geek is right? We are members of the Mages Association…we are part of the same group…right now, we must work together…just like before, when Ana and I worked together…we can do it…” Antoine looks at the 5 of them and encourages them.
Stefan looks confused; “Geek?”
“He’s right…I’m sorry for being an idiot…that was so rude of me…please forgive me girl…” Angel apologizes. “I’m sorry too…” Crespo also apologizes as he lowers his head.
“No, we are sorry as well…” Madeleine and Marinette apologize as well. Stefan still looks confused; “Geek?”
“I’m so glad that you are getting along…it was our goal to help you guys, that’s why me and my husband decided to take you on this trip…” Dr. Escobar smiles at them. Everyone looks embarrassed. Antoine makes a small cough; “Okay, now, we must focus on how to escape…”
“You can´t escape, if you try you will be burnt alive.” Everyone hears someone approaching them. A boy and a girl walking towards them, the boy is holding a device from Yggdrasil called Translanguaging. This device permits them to communicate with each other without speaking the same language.
“YOU’RE THE KID FROM BEFORE, WHO ARE YOU?” Madeleine asks the children. The boy looks at the Spanish students with rage:
“My name is Adihe Martin Cortes, son of Hernan Cortes”
Everyone looks surprised, the Spanish students exclaim:
“You liar, Hernan Cortes died five hundred years ago, how can you be his son”
“I am, and she is his daughter; Xochitl Monroy Cortes…”
Dr. Escobar walks in front and says:“I believe in you.”
“Doctor, are you crazy, he's lying” Angel exclaimed as he continues to speak:
“We are from the Cortes royal family, and the only son our ancestor had was Martin Cortes”
“Ay hijos, you need to understand that history is something that can be changed. My husband has researched this area for years now…he has found that there have been stories of Hernan Cortes living on the Island of the Dolls with two children. I believe that is you and the girl am I right?”
“Yes, that man was my father until he betrayed my mother and us 500 years ago and that makes me furious.” Adihe replies releasing Quetzalcoatl, now with black feathers in his body, red eyes and feathers red and purple in his head.
“What happened to the Serpent?” Dr. Escobar asks with a worried face.
“This is the Corrupt form of a God...this happened because of your fault…let’s go…”Adihe and Xochitl walk away with Quetzalcoatl disappearing.
A portal opens, El Muerto comes out of the portal and sees the students and the Doctor; “Ahh, so you’re awake…that’s excellent…we need to move now…”
“Move? Where?” Stefan asks El Muerto. “You’ll see…for now, let’s play a little game…”
(SSSLLLAASSHHHH)
El Muerto cuts the cage open; “I will let you guys go…if you can survive escaping…”
“Escaping? What do you mean?”
“Take a look around…” El Muerto points up. Everyone looks around. Angel asks El Muerto; “Are we inside a cage?”
“Not quite…”
“LOOK OUT!” Crespo tackles Angel. -PPUUMM- “Ouch, what was that for?”
Angel sees a current of magma; “Don’t tell me that’s…”
“You guessed it, we are inside a Volcano now…you have one hour to escape from here…if you can then I won’t kill you…however…”
“I see…so this is a game to you…”
“It is…now then, shall we get started?” El Muerto opens a portal and slowly walks towards it; “Good luck…”

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'
