Room 530

Kasumi stands outside her room…After the events two days ago, Johanna and Kasumi have watched over Uriel…Eversince then…Kasumi has been…well…

“Hihihi” Kasumi chuckles as she walks in the hallway with “hearts” coming out of her; “I can’t believe he is staying at my room…we have been sleeping together for 2 days now…I wonder if that feels like having a husband…”

Kasumi remembers that night when Uriel performed CPR; “Oh that’s right…two nights ago…he k-k-k…”

“Hey there, senpai…” Alejandro shouts coming out of the elevator. “GGYYYAAHH” Kasumi screams, and drops the towels.

“Senpai…are you alright?” Alejandro runs to help her pick up the towels. Kasumi looks embarrassed; “Y-Y-Yes…you surprised me that’s all…what are you doing here?”

“We came to see Uriel and see if he has woken up…” Alejandro replies with a cheerful tone. Kasumi looks confused; “WE?”

“Hello, Ms. Miyazono…” Marjorie greets her with a smile. Kasumi frowns; “Oh its her…” Kasumi makes a fake smile; “While hello Ms. Bellerose…what brings you here with my kohai?”

“She’s disgusted for me being here?” Marjorie notices her attitude. Alejandro notices it too; “Oh-uh…this looks bad…” Alejandro steps in; “She wanted to see Uriel…so I-I-I told her she could accompanied me…”

“Well now kohai…Uriel is under our supervision and someone who isn’t part of Yggdrasil aside from Johanna can see him…”

Marjorie gets mad and makes a fake smile; “I understand but Ms. Miyazono…we are currently in a neutral zone in which we are all part of an Alliance remember? That means I can see my fellow partner and check if he’s alright…”

“Fufufu…is that so?” Both of them exchange challenging looks. Alejandro sighs with his eyes closed; “Oh boy…”

Both of them walk side to side to see who arrives at the door first, Kasumi grabs the doorknob; “URIEL!”

At that moment, the three of them are surprised, Johanna walks behind them; “Good morning…is something wrong?”

The three of them enter the empty room; “URIEL IS NOT HERE!”

Johanna notices the window open; “Fufufu, now that is a problem…”

Room 526

In room 526…an important meeting was taking place…the door was shut using a spell by the Mages Association and the room was covered by a sound-proof barrier…the reason…M.A.G.I.C. was holding a meeting…

“That is all we have to report…” Antoine finishes explaining to a monitor located in the room.

A distorted voice comes out of the monitor; “Excellent…thank you Antoine…it appears Marjorie isn’t with you at the moment…”

“I’m afraid not…in order to avoid any suspicion from the other organizations, Marjorie decided to act normal with the others…”

“I understand…Marjorie has a difficult task when it comes to socializing…very well…I have spoken with the Archbishop and everything was cleared…M.A.G.I.C. is no longer involved with the incident at the volcano…for now, enjoy the rest of your trip…also, avoid any necessary confrontation…that includes between yourselves…”

The monitor shuts down. In the room, LeFleur and the Cortes remain silent. Marinette sighs; “Now what? Do we have to act all friendly with you guys now?”

“Chavala, after all we’ve been through, you are still against us?” Angel exclaims. Marinette puffs her cheeks; “No…but, it’s like, we’ve been fighting ever since we have memories…our families have been at war for centuries…and you expect us to be friends just like that…3 days ago, you wanted to punch Antoine…”

The room remains silent once again. Ana stands up; “I know that we are enemies…but let’s try to change that…after these events…I learned that we are a true team…I for once saw that we can be friends and work together…we can be like Marjorie who is friends with Yggdrasil…”

“That’s right…I for once would like to be friends with Ana…” Antoine stands up as well, he sees Ana who is blushing. Antoine blushes as well and immediately adds; “And with Angel, and Crespo and the others as well…” Antoine laughs nervously.

“Yeah…we can be friends…I enjoyed spending time with you guys to be honest…” Crespo also stands up. “YEAH ME TOO! I LIKE, WANT TO HAVE FUN WITH YOU!” Madeleine also stands up. The others stand up as well. Antoine takes a deep breath and extends his hand:

“Our families have started this war…and just like Uriel said…we the Cortes may have a cursed name but that doesn’t mean we can’t change our fate…from this day forth, we are an alliance…our family dispute ends now…put your hands together…”

“Seriously?” Everyone looks at him weird. Antoine gets embarrassed; “Come on everyone…I know it’s embarrassing but we must do it for our sake…”

Ana puts it first; “Very well…” The others sigh and put them on as well. The six of them put their together at the center. Antoine clears his throat:

“From this day on…we are an alliance…there is no war for us…”

“YEAH!” The six of them cheer with joy.

“Now then, what about the others?” Antoine asks. “I believe that the members of Yggdrasil are trustworthy…” Angel replies. “Yeah, Alejandro was very brave and strong as well…” Marinette blushes and looks away.

“I also agree with that…I understand that Marjorie trusts him completely as well…” Antoine replies, Ana looks at everyone and asks:

“What about Uriel?”

The room remains silent once again. Ana continues to speak; “Uriel was the one who told me that we could not change the past but rather look into changing the future…I believe he is a kind soul…”

“Yeah…and he’s hot…” Madeleine lifts her hand, the girls nod in agreement. The boys look with jealousy. Antoine clears his throat; “For now…let’s just wait until he wakes up…he did fight two Gods…he is strong, I give him credit…”

“Yeah, but we could’ve done something as well…but I felt weird after inhaling that weird gas…” Angel makes fun of the gas.

“The gas…I remember…that man, El Muerto…” Crespo looks at everyone; “That man is dangerous…the leader said to prevent any more encounters with that man but why?”

“Maybe because he's Yggdrasil's enemy?” Madeleine wonders. Antoine sighs; “For now…let’s enjoy our vacation, we have one more day left…so let’s have some fun okay…”

The group decided to split up and have fun doing their respective activities…

***************************************************************************

Basílica de Guadalupe (Basilica of Guadalupe)

Next to the Basilica, there are dorms in which the novices, and nuns live in peace. In one of rooms, Room 3…a nun with black hair and yellow eyes lies on her bed…Sister Veronica, the nun in which everyone is talking about as the nun who defended a demon…

Note; This conversation is in Spanish

Sister Veronica looks up at the moving fan, she looks soulless and full of guilt; “What am I going to do? It’s been two days since I commited that sin, and since then, I have been punished by staying in my room…I know there is a special seal in the door…I guess, I am going to be punished by Sister Magdalena…”

Sister Veronica turns and sees the wall; “Giovanni…I wonder how are you doing?”

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Sister Paola enters the room with a tray. She has a plate with scrambled eggs and some orange juice:

“Oh good..you’re awake…how are you feeling?”

“...” Sister Veronica doesn’t answer. Sister Paola puts the tray on the table located next to the bed. Sister Veronica sits on her bed, Sister Paola sighs with her eyes:

“Sister Veronica, you must eat before your breakfast gets cold…”

“I can’t…” Sister Veronica looks down; “I am a traitor…a sinner for having defended a demon…at least…that’s what everyone is saying outside…”

Sister Paola looks at her with anger; “You’re right, you defended a demon such as El Charro Negro…Sister Magadalena is not happy with you…you might get demoted for that…I hope you are ashamed for what you did…”

Sister Veronica trembles, she remembers everyone who fought at the volcano; “I am not…”

“What did you say?”

Sister Paola glares at Sister Veronica, Sister Veronica looks at her; “I said, I am not ashamed…those people fought for their lives that night…El Charro Negro saved Giovanni from dying…I was weak and stupid, I thought I could handled a God and I almost died that night…everyone there fought to protect themselves and me as well…that’s why…that’s why, I am not ashamed, I am proud…”

Sister Paola gets closer to her with rage; “You fool..” She lifts her hand, Sister Veronica covers herself; “Oh no…”

(BOING)

Sister Paola hugs Sister Veronica, Veronica looks confused; “Sister?” Sister Paola with tears in her eyes begins to explain; “You are a fool, I was so worried when you decided to go without reinforcements…but you’re alive and that’s what matters to me…”

Sister Veronica also cries with her. After a few minutes, Sister Paola sits next to her; “You see…you were grounded not because you defended a demon, but because you did not follow Sister Magdalena’s orders of not risking your life…”

“...” Sister Veronica is speechless. She looks at her Sister Paola; “Then, are you mad because I defended them?”

“Of course…” Sister Paola replies with a smile, leaving Veronica worried; “I am but only you know what happened that night…I can’t judge you for that and besides, everyone, including El Charro Negro were pardon by the Archbishop…”

“Really?”

Sister Paola nods in agreement; “The higher authorities decided to treat this incident as a Natural Disaster and will not take any actions…”

“Thank God..” Sister Veronica smiles; “Sister? Is Giovanni okay?”

Sister Paola gives her a letter; “He said to give this to you…he return to Italy…but he insisted on you reading it…”

Sister Veronica opens the letter and begins to read it:

Dear Bambina,

If you’re reading this, it means that I am dying…that’s right, dying for a good old beer…hahaha…I am really glad that you are doing well…I decided to go back to my hometown and relax for a while…after a near-death experience…I earned it…anyway, don’t feel guilty on what happened, it was my decision to go there with you…live you life to the fullest, and the next time we meet…I will treat you to some homemade cooking…the one my daughter used to like…

Giovanni.

“That idiot…” Sister Veronica cries; “Thank God he’s alright…when I saw him get absorbed by the mirror…I thought he died…”

“You went through a lot my sister…but God wanted you to experience it so you can become strong…”

“I was arrogant and full of myself…but not anymore…Sister…can you please train me one more time?”

Sister Paola smiles; “Of course…”
