1 Crimson moon: the beginning of calamity.

The street vendors were in the process of closing. The youths were busy chatting with each other.

The elderly were happy with seeing the smiles of the children running in the streets.

Among the running children, one was not paying attention in front of him, crashed with someone.

"ouch, my nose." the kid complained to no one in particular.

This kid began to apologize to the man in front of him. This man looked to be in his 20's, was wearing a black robe, half of his face covered by a mask that was quite eerie.

"It's okay, no need to apologize to me. It was my fault for not paying enough attention.", the man admitted to the mistake by himself and even bowed to the people.

"no, no,*-------*'', the one answering was a man who looked to be in his 40's, he had the same face as the kid who had crashed with the mysterious man, but the man couldn't complete his sentence. It looked like he was trying to move his mouth but couldn't because of some restriction.

"you don't need to address me formally here. You can call me by name *here*'', this sounded polite to everyone. But this man was getting annoyed by all this. He just wanted to end the chatter. But the matter was going out of hand. He had to be somewhere very important too.

"Kle--Klein-Kun, please forgive me for my blunder. The god may be with us'', the person made a cross in his chest nervously.

"The god may be with us'', Klein, however, said this while bringing out an unusual object that looked like a key. But this key looked unique. People believed that this was given to Klein by god themselves. However, nobody knew about the truth though.

''Okay, I'll be on my way then." Klein then started walking away from the crowd and vanished shortly after that.

"oh... he must be in a hurry." The kid's father said ponderously to others as he was quite unsure of what just even happened.

"Yeah, he was not like this before. But why was going in the opposite direction...?." a person inquired because everyone was going towards their home.

"Now you say that it's going to be that time so, it is unusual for someone to go out."

"you fool! He's not just someone. It will be fine; do I need you to remember his position in the cathedral? "The old man "informed" this to the curious fellow.

"hehe, you know that I've got a bad memory. Anyway, may the god be with him."

After this short event, the people started to move towards their home in haste, as the dawn was already upon them and nobody in their right mind would be outside at night.

"dad! the moon it's looking today!" the same child whose nose had broken said this excitedly to his father, who just ignored the kid as he had already noticed the anomaly. Not only the moon but the clouds had already disappeared with no sign of any stars as well.

The most unusual thing was that the crimson moon felt like someone had spilled blood all over it.

"When the moon turns crimson, the moon acts as the portal between the demon's world and the human world ."

Now people were beginning to panic. Some people had booked rooms in the inn. Those who couldn't get a room were running towards the closest shelter. But amid the chaotic situation, there was a stark figure walking quite calmly in the opposite direction.

The figure was of the same mysterious man who stood in contrast among all the people running past him. His black robe was fluttering with the wind.

When the boy was about to exit the gate, he slowly looked up towards the sky and smiled creepily for reasons only known by himself. And he finally went out of the gates.
