February 6th, Hills outside Sun City
After the battle against the Chupacabras, Uriel needed to heal his wounds, but in order to do so, he needed to be away from the Ministry. The reason is because Uriel is considered evil under the eyes of the church, and anything holy could harm him and prevent him from healing faster…
Alejandro offered their secret hideout, a small shack located at the outskirts of Sun City…
(BADUMP BADUMP)
Laying on a couch, Uriel sleeps as he recovers from his injuries. Soon, he begins to move around as he has a dream:
"PIU,PIU, I got you Space Ranger Red."
Alejandro plays with his toy gun, Uriel fakes his death as he says:
"Oh, I died, no…curse you….Silver Space Ranger…"
"Hahahaha" The boys smile as they begin to throw mud balls.
Uriel….
Mama….
Uriel opens his eyes, he has his arm extended with a tear falling from his right eye. Uriel slowly lifts his body as he thinks:
"Why am I having those dreams? It's as if...I was seeing my life before I became El Charro Negro…"
Uriel stands up, he walks towards the window and sees the setting sun. He walks around and looks at the posters of the famous show "Space Rangers", the secret hideout has a couch bed, a fridge, and a generator.
Uriel looks at a picture where Alejandro, Marjorie, Raul, Angela, and Victoria appear. He looks at it suspiciously because between Marjorie and Alejandro, there is a space, almost as if there was someone there.
"Oh good, you're awake, here, I brought your uniform and your backpack for tomorrow…" Alejandro enters the secret hideout.
"Thank you for helping me, sorry you had to go all the way to the Mission…"
"Hey no sweat...besides, I wanted to tell everyone that you're okay...they were relieved…"
"I see…" Uriel looks at Alejandro covered in bandages and a swollen eye; "Hey Alejandro, why are you helping me? I was the one who beat you up you know…"
Alejandro shakes his head with his eyes closed and with a smile:
"Uriel….Uriel...it's because we are friends...besides, I was acting stupid at that moment. You were right all along…"
"Still...I'm sorry…"
Alejandro laughs; "Are you apologizing? Man you sure are something…in fact, I am the one who is sorry for being a burden…"
Uriel extends his arm and chants:
"Curación" (Healing)
Slowly, Alejandro's injuries heal in a blink of an eye; "Incredible, I'm healed, hey I didn't know you could do that."
Uriel bleeds from his mouth; "It's just a simple miracle technique called Miracolo."
"Hey dude, you're bleeding...why?"
"Miracles are holy and I'm a cursed soul remember, they affect me…"
"So why did you do it? I didn't want to be healed, Sister Carolina offered to help but thought it was too much of a burden."
"You idiot…" Uriel smiles, he grabs the photo and asks; "Hey, why does this picture have someone missing?"
Alejandro looks at it and smiles; "Well, you are the one who is missing in that picture…"
"I see...hey, how come you're the only one who remembers Uriel Vazquez...not even my family remembers him…"
"I don't know...maybe it's because of this…" Alejandro eats chips as he searches for the fire badge…"
"Here catch..Alejandro throws the badge, Uriel grabs it and sees that it has something written in the back:
Fire Space Ranger…Uriel Vazquez…
"This is...incredible...For something like this to exist, this might be the only proof that Uriel Vazquez existed..."
(BBAAADDDDUUUUMMMPP)
Images of "Uriel Vazquez" begin to pass on Uriel's mind, he grabs his head. Alejandro looks at him and asks:
"Is something wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong…"
Alejandro sits on the couch and eats chips, Uriel puts the badge down, he grabs his head.
"So Uriel, how is your family? I remember you have one but I can't remember them at all…"
"I had a father, but he was killed 5 years ago…"
"Yeah, I know that already...what about your mother?"
"Well, my mother is really kind, she accepted me as her son, even though she doesn't remember me…"
"Oh, that's very kind of her…"
"But she is really strict plus she gets angry when I don't call her…Right now, she must be spitting fire because I haven't called her for over months…"
Alejandro imagines a woman with horns and spitting fire, similar to a dragon:
"Hehe, that must be tough…what about siblings?"
"I have a little sister, she is a year younger...she is nice to me, but she is very annoying sometimes…and my brother is two years younger, however, he doesn't trust me at all...so we are distant to each other…"
"I see...that's too bad…" Alejandro scratches his cheek, avoiding eye contact.
"What about you?" Uriel asks Alejandro.
"Well, my parents died when I was only three, so I can't remember them...I have a sister who is five years older than me but she lives in Spain and I think she doesn't like me at all…"
Alejandro changes his expression; "My grandparents raised me, they died four years ago, and ever since then, Ms. Gutierrez has watched over me…"
"I see…well then, I will go to sleep now…" Uriel lies down once more. Alejandro looks surprised; "Already?"
"Yeah, tomorrow we have school…"
"Man, sometimes you're so boring…"
"Good night…" Uriel turns around and goes to sleep. Alejandro sighs and looks at the picture:
"I guess, some things never change…"
Alejandro sits on the other bed across from Uriel and begins to play video games.

Lucifugus Mansion
Located at the North east side of Sun City, a beautiful mansion that stands on top of the highest hill. The mansion has over 20 rooms and has two floors. In the biggest room of the mansion known as the living room, Aleister sits on a couch as he zips a cup of tea.
"This arm of mine sure hurts…" Aleister, who has a cast on his left arm, holds a cup of tea with his right hand.
"Master, you shouldn't move too much…" A girl dressed as a maid tries to help him.
"Anastasia, I am doing fine...you don't have to worry that much…"
"I understand, sorry for my rudeness…"
"By the way, how are you doing in your classes?"
"I am doing well, my grades are average as usual...I try not to get too much attention…"
"I see...well keep up the good work"
"Thank you for your kindness…"
Aleister stands up, he holds Anastasia's chin and moves it up; "Anatasia, we've known each other for many years, you should at least try calling me Big Brother…"
Anastasia avoids looking at him; "No, I am not worthy of calling you that...I am just a peasant…"
Aleister chuckles and walks to the window; "Do as you wish, but for me, you are like a sister, remember that…"
"I will keep that in mind…" Anastasia bows her head.
"Aleister, I have returned…" Darius enters the living room, he looks at Aleister's cast and laughs:
"What happened to your arm? Don't tell me that you fell down the stairs?"
Darius sits down on the sofa, Anastasia gives him some tea; "Thank you my sweet daughter...I hope you've been doing well?"
Anastasia nods in agreement; "Yes, I have Master Darius…"
"Please, call me, papa or father…"
"I am not worthy…'
Darius sighs and chuckles. Aleister walks towards him; "Father, how was your trip?"
Darius changes his expression, he sits up straight and replies; "Unfortunately, I couldn't find the objective...that "object" is hard to find...but don't worry, we still have time. Anyway, how is Charro doing? Is he your ally now?"
"No...he allied himself with those from Yggdrasil…"
"Ahh, Yggdrasil huh...well that was unexpected…"
"Nonsense father, in fact, I planned that all along…"
Aleister smiles at Darius, Darius looks intrigued; "Oh, well, I will leave things to you then…"
"Thank you…"
"ALEISTER! WHERE ARE YOU?" A young man with short spiky white hair enters the room.
"Ian, it's been a while…"
Ian Constantin is Aleister's cousin. He has short white hair, pale skin and reddish eyes. He has a muscular body with average height. He is very straightforward and likes to hit on girls.
"Anastasia, you're looking well…" Ian kisses Anastasia's hand. Anastasia steps back without any expression.
"Ian, you never change…" Aleister chuckles. Ian looks at Aleister and asks; "What happened to your arm? I can't believe that you got hurt, you of all people…"
"It was just a miscalculation...don't worry about it…"
Darius looks at Ian;"Ian, I brought you back because I need you to work for Aleister…"
"I accept…" Ian answers without hesitation. Darius looks surprised; "Well now…that was unexpected…"
Ian sits on the couch and puts his feet on the table; "I was bored in Europe, thank you for the opportunity to bring me here and have some fun with you...Aleister…"
Aleister smiles; "You never change Ian...this brings back memorie...I expect that you will behave...right?"
Ian scratches his head; "That depends on whether I get bored or not…"
"Excellent, Aleister, I have something to do, I will see you at dinner…" Darius opens a portal and disappears.
Ian looks at Aleister; "Now then, what do you want me to do?"
Aleister looks at the moon and replies; "I need you to beat up someone for me…"
"Now we're talking...who is it?'
Aleister smiles; "I'm sure you know him very well…He's…"

Tiwa's Apartment:
On the South side of Sun City, there is a sector filled with apartments. The rankings go from basic to luxurious. On the luxurious apartments called "Diamond Apartments" room 329, a beautiful girl with blonde hair lives there:
"Ha..man this sucks…" Tiwa combs her hair as she looks at the mirror.
A spirit owl appears as he says; "Hoot...Hoot...Lady Tiwa, why are you so upset?"
"Well Suma...I really wanted to hang out with Alejandro a little more but he decided to help Uriel…"
"Sss….Mistress Tiwa do you have feelings for him?" Jana, a spirit serpent appears behind her.
"EEHHHH" Tiwa falls back, she begins to look at them nervously:
"N-n-no, it's nothing like that...I just wanted to talk a little more…"
"Don't get nervous…..sssss…..it's only natural that a girl your age is interested in the opposite sex…"
"Hoot, hoot...she's right Lady Tiwa"
Tiwa has her face all red, she stands up and continues to comb her hair:
"Even if it was true...he only has eyes for Marjorie…"
"What's that supposed to mean? You're not giving up are you?" The spirit of a coyote appears out of the amulet. Tiwa looks down:
"No, I am not Zuni…"
Zuni is a spirit coyote that is contracted with Tiwa like Suma and Jana. He has a regular size just like a coyote, he has reddish fur and blue eyes.
"Remember, you're the last descendant of the Ysletas, so you must be strong, you must not lose, even if it is a love problem.."
"I know that...but this is different, it's just that I...see Alejandro and feel nervous…ever since our eyes met, I felt warm in my heart"
"That is love mistress…ssss...and it is a normal feeling…"
"Love ehh? Can someone like me have the right to carry that feeling?"
Tiwa looks at the mirror; ¨What do you think? Emma?" After a few moments, she changes her expression to a confident one:
"You're right...if I do feel love, then I must fight...Valentine's day is approaching...then I must do my best and give Alejandro the best present…"
"Hoot,hoot, that is the spirit Lady Tiwa…" Suma flies around. Tiwa chuckles as she thinks:
"Thank you guys…I know that you will always be with me…"
Tiwa changes her expression to a serious one, but I can't let that distract me, I need the Golden key...only then will I be able to return home…"
Tiwa looks at a picture where she appears as a little girl with a woman standing next to her. However, that picture is very old, as it has a yellowish color on it, and everyone has a native attire:
"Hopi…please guide me…"

February 8th; Rio Grande City International Airport
The afternoon of the next day marks a great change in Uriel's life…..
Passengers of flight 07261998, our destination to Rio Grande City is nearby. Please fasten your seatbelts.
An airplane arrives at the "Rio Grande Airport." After the plane lands a certain family comes out of the airplane and goes to the line to get their luggage ready.
"It's been 5 years, I´m happy to be back, now to begin a new adventure!" A young girl stretches her arms, her long straight light purple colored hair with blue eyes catches everyone's attention.
"How long are you going to goof off, Valerie?" A teenager that is about her height says as he walks past her. He has red hair and green eyes.
"Aww, Daniel, you sure are a slave driver…" Valerie whines as she walks behind him.
"It's not my fault, mama said that we would meet her at the exit." Daniel replies as they walk down the corridor.
"France sure was nice huh...being there for 3 months was a blast but now that we are here...I can't wait to see him again…" Valerie shouts with excitement.
"Yeah...see....him again…" Daniel doesn't make any expression. Valerie begins to skip feeling excitement.
Valerie is a 15 years old girl, she has a slim figure. She wears a red short skirt, with white button shirt combined with a red tie, a pair of black long tights, and red shoes with a black French hat. She has a hyperactive activity and always smiles making her the center of attention around guys.
Daniel is a 13 years old boy, with a thin body. He wears glasses, and he always has a typical teenage face, always looking bored. He has the same height as Valerie, making people sometimes think that they are twins. He is wearing a white shirt that says "#1 Gamer", a black jacket, blue jeans and white shoes.
"Valerie, you are making a scene again…" Daniel feels embarrassed. Valerie turns around and makes a cute face saying; "It's not my fault that I'm cute"
Many boys come around to talk to her making random questions:
"Hey, are you single?"
"Are you French?"
"Can I have your number?"
Daniel crosses his arms, close his eyes and make a huge sigh as he thinks to himself:
"Here we go again, Valerie likes the attention but she likes to play with men and I am the one who needs to control her."
Valerie then goes behind Daniel , and says while laughing: "Sorry friends but as you can see, I have company here so please leave me alone."
The guys feel down and leave. Daniel sighs with his eyes closed; "Come on, our mother is here…"
The two of them reach the exit where a beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes waits for them.
"Valerie, Daniel, it's so good to see you…" The woman hugs both of them;
"Mis niños (my children), you don't know how much I miss you."
"Calm down Mama, it has only been 5 days." Daniel replies to his mother. Maria pulls his ears and Daniel quickly changes his attitude:
"I mean, I miss you too MAMA."
Maria Di Fiore (age 40) is a beautiful woman with light brown skin, red hair and blue eyes. She has a well developed body with curves and a large breast. She is wearing a black dress with a coat and gloves.
Valerie laughs at him, the three of them get into a taxi, the driver asks:
"Where are we going Ms. Di Fiore?"
"Please, call me Maria, and please take us to the Mission of San Juan."
The taxi heads towards the mission. In the back of the taxi, Maria looks at the window; "After all this time… I will get to see him again…"
"I know right, I hope he didn't change much...I can't wait to see my big brother…" Valerie expresses excitement, Daniel frowns:
"Sister, we don't know if he wants to see us…"
"Oh he does, otherwise, I will punish him." Valerie smiles, releasing a purple aura.
Maria looks at the sun; "Finally, I will see you… Uriel…my son…"
******************************************************************************
Walking back from school…Fabiola, Mariana and Abril head back to the Mission…Mariana walks in front of the other two as she is still upset about what happened the night of the attack…
"School sure was boring today…" Abril walks in front of Fabiola and Mariana. She turns around and sees her sisters walking silent and avoiding looking at each other. Abril sighs with her eyes closed:
"Come on girls…it's been 2 days since the incident…can't you two just forget about it…"
"She's right…Mariana…I already told you that I was sorry…but it was something that I had to do…please…try to understand…" Fabiola looks at Mariana, Mariana avoids looking at her. -HMPH- "You don't understand…"
Mariana stops walking; "Why are you apologizing?"
Both Fabiola and Abril look at each other, not understanding the situation. Abril takes a step forward:
"Well…we're sorry that I knocked you down…and that Fabiola took off to take down the Chupacabras…you must have been very worried…"
Mariana shakes her head; "I already forgave you…" Abril and Fabiola look at eachother; "Then why are they acting that way towards us…"
"You just don't understand…" Mariana walks towards Fabiola with tears in her eyes; "Why didn't you take me with you…"
Wind blows as there is silence for a couple of moments. Fabiola looks confused; "Mariana…what are you talking about?"
"Melissa wasn't only your sister…she was ours as well…I wanted revenge just like you…I wanted to go with you…but you were selfish…" Melissa turns around; "I wanted to go too…"
Fabiola understands her feelings and replies; "I'm sorry…I was caught up in my own world…that I didn't see everyone around me…please…forgive me…"
"I already have…but Fabiola…next time…trust in us as well…we're family after all…" Fabiola looks at Mariana and Abril smiling at her. A tear comes out her eyes as she nods in agreement; "Thank you…both of you…I promise that I will do my best…"
Abril feels embarrassed; "Sister, you´re being too clingy…"
(BBBAADDUUMMMPPP)
The three girls feel a presence. Abril takes a step back; "This feeling…that mana…it's enormous…"
"I know…it's coming this way…I sense three individuals with great power…" Mariana replies as she and Abril take a step back and stand behind Fabiola; "Stay behind me…they're getting close…"
At that moment, a taxi cab passes by them, the girls see a young man with red hair. The three of them are in shock.
"Who was that?" Abril takes a step forward.
"I don't know but he looked familiar…" Mariana blushes looking in that direction.
"I know…he looked just like…" Fabiola gets into her senses and looks at her sister:
"They're heading to the Mission…come on sisters…we must hurry…"
The girls head towards the Mission…
*****************************************************************************
Mission of San Juan…
In the Mission of San Juan, Sister Carolina walks towards Father Clemente´s Office…
"Father, do you have a moment?"
"Of course…" Sister Carolina enters his office and closes the door. Father Clemente notices her expression; "Do you have something you wanted to tell me?"
"I do…" Sister Carolina gets closer to his desk; "Why didn't you stop Fabiola that night?"
Father Clemente sighs with his eyes closed; "I figured you would ask that"
"Father...you were supposed to stop her if she attempted to escape...you were even supposed to have a barrier...why did you let her go?"
"Listen Carolina...a long time ago...a demon killed everyone you loved...am I right? How did it make you feel?"
"What are you talking about Father, why did you bring that up?"
"Answer my question…"
"It made me feel anger, sadness and…" Sister Carolina opens her eyes wider; "Wanting revenge…"
"That's right...and what would you want to do when you see that demon again?"
Sister Carolina looks down; "I would want revenge…"
"That's right...revenge is poison...if I had stopped Fabiola that night...her hunger for revenge would have grown even more...all I did was to let her go and free herself…" Father Clemente stands up; "Please forgive me...I took a gamble on letting her go...I know I may be the worst human being alive...but I knew she would be safe...because you and Uriel were there?"
"Please don't apologize...it is I who should apologize for doubting you and criticizing you…" Sister Carolina bows her head, Father Clemente smiles; "Let's just call it even...okay"
"Yes Father…" Sister Carolina smiles at him.
"Now then...it appears we will have some important guests arriving soon…" Father Clemente looks at the window. Sister Carolina looks confused; "Guests? What do you mean?"
(BBBAAADDUUUMMMPPP)
Sister Carolina feels an enormous amount of mana; "This presence...it´s huge…someone´s coming…"
"Oh it appears they arrived…"
Sister Carolina looks frightened; "Who?"
Father Clemente smiles; "Our reinforcements"
***************************************************************************
"We have arrived, Ms. Maria…" The taxi says with heart shaped eyes. Maria smiles and replies:
"Thank you...how much is the fee?"
"No,this one's on the house…" The driver replies nervously.
"Are you sure? I don't think it's fair…"
"Of course it's fair…"
"Well thank you so much…" Maria leaves the taxi, the man is drooling as he sees her; "What a babe…and what a nice body..."
Daniel chuckles:
"That was a bad move…"
(CLICK)
Daniel presses a button on his phone. As soon as he gets down, the car drives on its own; "WHAT THE HELL!!!!!"
Valerie looks at Daniel:
"I know what you did and that wasn't very nice…"
Daniel walks past her; "I don't know what you're talking about…"
Maria looks at the Mission; "This place hasn't changed at all…you know...Roberto and I married in this church…"
"Oh how romantic…." Valerie smiles at her. Maria looks with sadness; "Roberto…"
"MMMMAAARRIIIAAA" Sister Carolina and runs to hug her; "Maria...it's really you…"
"It's been a while, Sister Carolina…" Maria hugs her back. Sister Carolina cries;
"You don't know how much I missed you…"
"Hahaha...if it isn´t Maria...you haven't changed...lovely as always..." Father Clemente looks at her and her children. Maria looks at Father Clemente; "Father...I came back"
"Welcome home...my daughter"
Maria sheds tears as well; "It's good to see you…I´m home..."
Sister Carolina and Father Clemente look at Valerie and Daniel.
"Oh my, is that your children? I can't believe how much they've grown…"
"Hello...the number one idol girl of Rio Grande City has returned…" Valerie makes an idol pose. Daniel rolls his eyes, Sister Carolina hugs both of them with tears:
"You two, I missed you as well…"
"Ha...ha...ha…" The three sisters arrive. Fabiola looks at them; "This mana...it was coming from them?" Fabiola opens her eyes wider; "That woman...I can´t believe it…"
"Wow, who are they? The boy sure is cute…" Abril and Mariana see Daniel and blush.
"Cut it out, you two...that woman is Maria Di Fiore...she is a member of the order as well, and one of the most powerful members known as the Scarlet Maiden...and the two of them are her children...Valerie and Daniel…" Fabiola explains with excitement, the girls nod with surprise.
Maria looks around and asks:
"Now then, I came here to see my son...and I would like you two to tell me how he is doing…"
Clemente and Carolina laugh nervously as they say:
"Well, it's a long story…"
*********************************************************************
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. They are also members of the Order of Holy maiden."
"It is a pleasure to meet you." The three of them greet themselves to Maria. Fabiola takes a step forward and looks at Maria with excitement; "I am really excited to meet you...Scarlet Maiden"
"Oh my...you know who I am?"
Fabiola nods with excitement; "Of course, you´re the famous maiden who fought against the demon Beelzebulb and managed to send him back to hell…you´re super strong..."
"Oh my...that was a long time ago dear…" Maria feels embarrassed. Daniel and Valerie smile; "Here we go again...mama sure likes to be in the spotlight…"
"Not at all...you even exorcized 100 vampires a few months ago in Jalisco...am I right?" Fabiola replies with excitement. Maria shakes her head; "100? No no...they were 200…"
"OH WOW…" Fabiola looks impressed as Maria feels empowered. Valerie shakes her head; "Ay mama...you're so easy to read…"
(COUGH COUGH)
Maria coughs and returns to normal; "Now then...back to the topic…" Maria has a suspicious face, drinks her tea and says: "Only three, what is going on here. Sister Carolina please tell... what happened to Melissa?"
Sister Carolina and the other nuns lower their heads and then Sister Carolina:
"Melissa was taken away...I will tell you everything…" Sister Carolina stands up and continues to explain. After a few minutes, Sister Carolina tells Maria everything that has happened.
"I see, I´m sorry...it must´ve been hard...there is no doubt that Darius is behind all of this…" Maria expresses her furious tone. Daniel looks at them; "The Chupacabras ehh...now that is interesting…"
She looks at Sister Carolina and smiles:
"So Uriel defeated the Chupacabras...I am very proud of him..." Fabiola steps forward; "He did...he saved my life...he was so strong…"
"Thank you dear...I really appreciate your feelings…"
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?" Valerie looks surprised. Mariana steps forward:
"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…" Abril replies with the other sister nod their heads.
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…" Maria nods in agreement. Valerie looks at Daniel:
"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. Sister Carolina stands up:
"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:
"Hijas (daughters), 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 replies, crossing her arms. Carolina steps forward; "NOW…"
Fabiola replies nervously; "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…" Daniel walks slowly along with Fabiola; "Just so you know...I don´t trust you…" Fabiola comments to Daniel, Daniel smiles; "Wise choice...you are not as dumb as you look…"
"What did you say?" Fabiola´s face turns red as Daniel continues to walk; "I will need something from you girl, please go to my room"
Mariana and Abril blush; "W-W-What do you need?" Fabiola blushes as well; "Hey we're nuns...we…"
"Relax...there is something I need you to tell me…" Daniel continues to walk; "Tell me everything about El Charro Negro…"
Meanwhile...
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:
"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..you should reconsider...that man killed Roberto...and Roberto was one of the strongest men in the world…
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.
