This boy had light tan skin, black, neck length hair in a with a beautiful crown that rested on the top of his head. He was wearing jagaur skin covering his back and shoulder leaving his chest bare. The child had large, blue green, disk earings and a bead necklace made of red beads and a light green medalion of the Crimson Dragon's seal. The boy held a strong resemblance to Rua.

He continues to walk around the palace garden until he hears a twig snap. He turns around and sees a silhouette running passed him. He turns and sees another. Now scared, the boy looks in all direction now scared out of his mind. Then, a rustling comes from the bushes. The boy turns around and speaks out at the bush hoping it was his sister who was just playing a trick on him. If there was something they loved to do was playing harmless little tricks on their friends, family, and each other. "Quetzal? Is that you? If it is, stop it. I admitt it, you were scaring me, you succeeded. Now, stop."

A cloaked figure sneaked up behind the boy holding a large stick. The figure then swings the stick and whack the boy in the head knocking him out cold.

She half a staff wooden with a jaguar's head, two fruits on it hanging by a rope, and two beaded necklaces wrapped around it. On solid red and another tricolored with red, blue, and yellow.

Not to far to long after hearing the news, five people are running through the forest, frantically calling the prince's name. One of them, a black, spikey-haired man with blue eyes was running ahead of the group. He wore a leopard skin crown with four long feathers, two on each side, a poncho with designs similar to his birthmark, leopard skin around his ankles, a gold necklace similar to the boy's, and red markings on his arms, shoulders, and a dragon-head like birthmark on his right arm.

The cloaked man walked through the rain forest until he comes across a pyramid. He climbs the stairs one step at a time, carrying the boy, Coatl, up the stairway. The man soon reaches the top of the pyramid and enters a large room. Inside, there are five other cloaked figures surrounded a stone table. Around them are a set of lit torches burning the bodies of each animal. Each torch carried a symbol and the burning animal bodies. Hummingbird, lizard, monkey, giant, and spider. These were the marks of the Earthbound Gods. In the middle, were five gems, each color matching the color of the marks, orange, green, yellow, blue, and red. One of them held a knife.

The man carrying Coatl set the boy down on the table. Each member grabbed limb of the boy and tied a rope around each one bounding him to the table. The boy stirs and looks around the room, seeing he was no longer in the jungle.

"Wh...where am I?"

"In a temple."

"Piscu. What's going on? Where's mother and father and Quetzal."

"No need to worry about them where you're going, my prince."
