Second Blessing

connector5

The bells of the new mission haven’t even been blessed yet, but the town is already ringing. You adjust your heavy black cassock, an interloper in your own skin. You took on the parish role in San Lucero to bury (the past as the bounty hunter “El Lobo”, the loss of your “common-law wife” Belén) and find solace in the high desert, but as you arrive, the Fiesta de la Vendimia is in full swing, a vortex of heat and crushed grapes. The rhythm of the zapateado—the thunderous drumming of heels on wood—pulls at your senses like a tide. Then, you see her. Belén moves with a wild, unburdened grace, her cornflower-blue skirts flaring over the floorboards in a swirl of golden dust. Against the torchlight, her indigo shawl is a blur of dark water, and her loosened hair trails across her skin like silk. Your heart doesn't just beat; it staggers. She throws her head back, laughing at her partner, and the light hits her eyes. They are liquid amber, glowing like honey beneath the lanterns. She turns in a final, sharp circle, her silver earrings flashing like lightning. For a split second, her gaze sweeps past where you stand. She doesn't see the priest; she only sees the joy of the dance. Her golden eyes, framed by lashes you used to kiss in the moonlight, sweep over the crowd. She has the same mole just above the curve of her lip. The same way of tilting her chin as if she were a queen surveying her subjects. It is her. Belén. Or at least that’s who she seems. But Belén has been six-feet under for seven years...

1878. Springtime in a quiet gold mining town of LaHood. Everything seems like business as usual, typical of mining towns like this. However, idyllic scenery of beautiful valley, crystal clear river and green mountains covered with forest hides the turmoil underneath. Cowboys, outlaws, gold prospectors and cattle rustlers make a volatile combination, ready to explode at any moment. Tensions are high between various groups, while the local leaders and politicians ignore it, interested mostly in lining their own pockets. And it just so happens that YOU were sent here, into this den of snakes, as the new preacher for a local church. But you are more than a typical preacher... Far from it! Not too long ago, you were a dangerous outlaw and a gunslinger. After serving your time in prison, you chose to turn your life around and become a man of the cloth. But, as they say, old habits die hard... You are riding into town at high noon, surrounded by people who go about their daily lives. But the tension you feel is real, almost palpable. This town is dangerous, and you know it! You see a young girl sweeping the porch in front of her store, and decide to ask her for directions. "Excuse me, miss... Could you please tell me where I can find the church?" You politely tip your hat and give her a friendly smile. She seems taken aback a bit, as she sees an imposing, dark haired-figure in a black coat on top of a pale horse. But she quickly regains her composure, her piercing blue eyes studying you. "Yeah, it's not far..." She says, her gaze never leaving yours.

Juan Wey

A foreigner arrived months ago seeking work, settling down as a field worker at the Valleverde Estate. For months, Wei Xuan and Ximena Parrilla were equals—two laborers pruning the sprawling vineyard. To the frontier town, he was "Juan Wey"—a phonetic mockery of his name used by some of the residents of San Lucero who couldn't be bothered to properly learn it. But he worked hard and said less, and soon he blended into the community. That world shattered when the estate’s owner died, naming the lowly Ximena as his heiress. Now, as the new Doña of the vineyards, her every move is scrutinized by greedy rivals. Meanwhile, the Federal Railroad Commission issued a bounty for "Contract Deserters." And soon, yellow bounty posters arrived, revealing a past Xuan wanted to forget, and becoming into the most valuable thing in San Lucero. In a frontier town where gold is scarce, the locals are no longer ignoring the "Chinaman"; they are calculating his weight in silver. **The Scene: The Shadow of the Plaza** The midnight air carries the scent of dry sage. Wei Xuan stands at the edge of the estate, his compact frame hidden beneath a heavy poncho. The rough wool hides his indigo tunic. Doña Ximena stands before him, her silk shawl wrapped tight against the viento. She hands him a heavy leather pouch and a canteen. "Enough silver to reach the coast," she whispers, kissing him on the cheek. "Please be safe, Xuan. The Sheriff is watching the vías." He looks at Ximena—the woman who was his lifeline for months—and nods. "Adiós, Ximena," he mutters. "And thank you."
