-PROLOGUE-
"Hurry, Miles, hurry!" A young woman around mid twenties shouted to her husband as she pushed her way through the green and dense wilderness of jungle green at the heart of San Lorenzo.
"Stella! Wait!" The blonde man stumbled as he was constantly wapped by the bushes and branches slapped into his face by his wife and his dearest friend in front, Eduardo, who was in a panic. Though Miles didn't mind the abuse of being in the back, he understood the desperate rush they were in. Eduardo's wife and only child had been snatched up by their greatest enemy, La Sombra, along with a sacred relic of the Green-Eyed people, La Corazón.
"Mi hija! He took my daughter! My wife!" Eduardo screamed as he ran frantically ahead of the couple. "Don't worry, Eduardo, once we find him, I'm gonna punch his lights out!" Stella fumed while jumping over a fallen branch. Miles stumbled over the fallen branch while he sent his best friend a sincere and reassuring smile, "Have faith my friend—" Mile's speech of good fortune was stripped from their ears, being replaced by the blood curdling scream of a young woman. "NO! CHALCHIUTL!" The three adults broke into a clearing next to the Great Falls of Chal, revealing a cackling La Sombra holding a less than thrilled infant and La Corazón. At his feet against a tree lies a young woman with dark hair that glistened green in the moonlight. Blood ran from the base of her right temple and the center of her head, running down her chin and slinder nose. "Eddy, Stella…" she whimpered, her jellybean-green eyes glazed and red with tears. "CHALCHI!" Stella cried.
Eduardo glared at La Sombra seeing only blood as his watering eyes flashed from his dying wife to La Sombra and his daughter. "LA SOMBRA! LET MY DAUGHTER GO!" La Sombra just chuckled maniacally, "You want me to drop her?" "NO!" Eduardo and Stella lurched forward but La Sombra stepped away, holding the baby over the ledge. "That's right. No te muevas! Or the little rat gets it worst than her pathetic excuse for a mother. Some princess, don't you think my friends?" Stella and Eduardo froze, worried for her friends' child. Heat boiled within her as she took offense to a hit on her closest friends' royal title. Her eyes wandered to the caramel colored infant wrapped in green silk. 'How could anyone, even La Sombra, threaten the life of an infant!' she thought, frustrated that she was at his mercy.
"Give us back Chaltiquel and give us back La Corazón!" La Sombra laughed cruelly at her weak attempt of retrieval, "Ahh, and here I thought your fool of a husband was the chistoso! Speaking of which, where is that clumsy oaf?" In the distance, a call is heard from the jungle. Everyone glanced at the jungle, only to see Miles approaching them using his whip to swing in full 'Tarzan' mode, yell and all.
"Miles!" Everyone yelled, one angrily. Well, the surprise was short lived, considering it was Miles. And Miles being, well, Miles, he leaped for La Sombra only to fall infront of him face-planting into the dirt at his feet. "And he says to have faith!" Eduardo cried, rolling his eyes. "Well, at least he got pretty close this time. Last time he hit a tree." Stella sighed with a half-lidded gaze. "And then it crashed into the river." La Sombra added. "And then it rolled down the falls." Eduardo added in distress. All three shared a laugh at Miles's expense. "İHoooola! I'm kinda dying here!" Chalchiutl yelled lying next to Miles.
"Ohh, right, sorry…" the three chuckled, only to immediately go back to glaring at each other out of pure hatred. La Sombra looked down at Miles in disgust. "Ah heh heh…" Miles chuckled, then in a blink of an eye, swept La Sombra's legs from under his body. "GAH!" He fell back over the edge, letting loose Chaltiquel and La Corazón. Miles quickly caught a giggling Chaltiquel and Stella leaped for La Corazón, catching it before it went over the edge like La Sombra. The two looked over the edge, La Sombra being nowhere in sight. "Think he's dead?" Stella questioned her blonde hero. "It wouldn't hurt to hope." Miles tossed her a silly grin as they stood.
"Chalchiutl!" Eduardo shouted as he kneeled speedily on his wife's left side, grasping her hand in desperation. "Oh, mi amor! Stella! Come quickly!"
"No."
"What?" Eduardo stared wide eyed at his love bewildered.
"I said, 'No.'" she blinked calmly.
"What do you mean! You can't!" Eduardo bellowed, pushing her locks of pine from her face. "Let me help you!" Stella cried, setting down La Corazón beside her and kneeling on her best friend's right side. "Take care of my baby, Stella. Eduardo will need you. You too Miles." "Chalchi…" Miles frowned, kneeling infront of her. "Please! Stella, do something!" Stella nodded at Eduardo and began trying to stop the blood flow. "Eduardo? I love you. My daughter, my Chal, I am her protector. Miles, Let me see her." Miles nodded, handing her to the wounded woman. He began to comfort his best friend as his wife continued to work.
"I love you, my little Chaltiquel. Eduardo, she has your smile…" Chalchiutl smiled, before closing her eyes and drifting away. "Eduardo, my family…my Chalti—" her bright glistening eyes changed from bright green to a violet-brown before closing for her eternal slumber. Eduardo broke down holding his wife, while Stella shared a look of loss and sorrow while removing Chaltiquel from Chalchiutl's limp arms.
"What do we do now, Miles?" Stella struggled to keep her voice from faltering.
Miles looked from his best friend to the baby, then back to his wife. "We'll protect her like we would Arnold…"
