《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 213: The Golden City of Halona
Advertisement
After being thrown back into the cell…the group awaits for their unknown fate…the others fall asleep except for Dr. Escobar…
Adihe and Xochitl act like guards as they await for El Muerto’s new instructions. Xochitl sleeps in Ahide’s lap as she begins to cry; “MAMA”
“You miss your mother don’t you?” Dr. Escobar asks Adihe, and Xohitl wakes up. Adihe glares at her:
“That doesn’t concern you. You’re just like the rest of them.”
“So you can speak our language huh?” Dr. Escobar smiles at Adihe who replies:
“Of course we can, thanks to the Gods we understand every language on earth.”
“Now that is interesting, why do you want to kill the Cortes, if you are a Cortes as well?” Dr. Escobar asks Adihe, he lowers his head:
“Our father denied us on that day, he killed many of our people and our mother, and I saw how he stabbed her heart out thanks to Quetzi’s memories…”
“I see you lost your mother.” Dr. Escobar looks at the sky; “You know I had two children just like you.”
Those words catch Adihe’s attention; “Really?”
“Indeed, they were beautiful and I loved them so much…but on that day…5 years ago…on January 31st… A huge earthquake hit the city we live in and killed them.”
Dr. Escobar begins to cry as she remembers her children.
“What were their names?”
“Mauro and Sandra, they looked exactly like your age, when I see you, you and your sister, you remind me of them.” Dr. Escobar replies crying. Adihe walks towards her and asks:
“How did they die?”
“A building collapsed when we were trying to get out, and my children fell, when we found them it was too late.” Dr. Escobar replies. Adihe Touches his heart; “We also fell off a pyramid as it collapsed but we were lucky that day.”

Xochitl gives her a flower, and smiles at her:
“Mama always told us to smell a flower if we felt sad. Dr. Escobar smells the flower:
“Thank you, it smells wonderful.”
Xochitl smiles back at her.
“The effect of the gas seems to have passed…” Crespo whispers to Antoine who analyzes his body:
“Indeed, maybe I can use my techniques now…” Antoine looks down; “We were so naive…I never thought we would have been beaten that easily…”
Madeleine holds his shoulder; “Antoine calm down…I understand it but we must stay strong…”
Antoine looks at Madeleine and Marinette; “You’re right, I must be brave…I am your older brother after all…”
“Hey hermano…I wonder how Ana is doing?” Angel asks Crespo. Crespo chuckles; “That girl is strong, she will probably return with reinforcements…don’t worry about you idiot…”
Stefan looks away as he thinks; “Aww man…I feel so left out and hungry…but I guess this is normal…”
Suddenly, a portal opens beneath the prisoners and everyone falls. They fall near a passage of magma; “What going on? Where are we?” Stephan asks as he looks around. The others look around asking the same question.
El Muerto appears before them; “WELCOME TO THE ECLIPSE SHOW!”
The Sun begins to cover the moon creating a Lunar Eclipse, the small red light begins to shine in the center of the volcano, and the level of Magma begins to lower down, slowly the path becomes safe to walk.
El Muerto opens four portals, suddenly four golems.
The golems are 7 feet tall with muscular bodies, huge muscles, the face is similar to a lion with glowing yellow eyes. They have fangs and claws, the golems roar.
(RRRAAAAAWWW)
(GGYYAAHHHH)
The twins scream with fear. Angel, Crespo and Antoine get in front of them; “Stay behind us…”

“Relax, they won’t do anything to you…Now walk” El Muerto begins to walk, the golems split up. One heads to the entrance of the volcano, one stays there and two are behind the students.
“We need to find a way to escape…” Antoine whispers to Crespo. Crespo nods in agreement. El Muerto hears their conversation. In a blink of an eye, El Muerto kicks Crespo, sending him towards the wall.
(PPUUUMMM)
“CCRREESSPPPOOO!!!” The twins run to help him. El Muerto looks at Antoine; “I told you…escaping is impossible…”
The twins help Crespo stand up. El Muerto looks at them; “Now then…keep moving forward or I’ll start killing you…one by one…”
(GULP)
Stefan takes a big gulp; “This is bad…I want to run but if I do that…I’m dead…I wonder…what would Goku do in this situation?”
The group continues to walk, following El Muerto and with the Golem behind them. As they arrive at the end of the tunnel, everyone is surprised as they see a Giant Golden Temple, the light of the Eclipse makes it shine bright, and there are golden pillars making a path, with Aztec Symbols surrounding them.
There is a city inside the Volcano that it’s completely covered in Gold. The buildings, the roads and the statues of people are all golden. As the lunar eclipse slowly begins, the amount of lava slowly disappears, revealing a golden road that leads towards the Golden Temple.
Everyone looks surprised; “It can’t be, it should be a legend…” El Muerto extends his arms:
“WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN CITY OF HALONA!”

The Successor
The Immortal God Emperor is dead...yet his Successor will one day arise. The worlds had long moved on from the greatest Cultivator of all time. The things that had been achieved and the advances made in the Immortal God Emperor's absence were nothing to turn one's nose up at. And yet, something was always missing. Because Cultivators, no matter the goals they pursue, always bow to the greater power. They seek it, they covet it for themselves, and they serve it with reverence. Shan Kai Lan was born into such a world. Born to two herb farmers whose cultivation did not surpass the Foundation Realm, yet who loved their son more than anything. Kai Lan was a child blessed by the Spiritual Plain, far more gifted and more intelligent than others his age. Yet the more profound his achievements, the greater the likelihood that his happy, peaceful life would be trampled on by those who desired his potential for themselves. The question of Kai Lan's journey becomes not whether he will reach the highest peak of cultivation, but what he will be forced to do to keep his young Clan, and the happiness it provides, at peace.
