Chapter 10: Escaping The Prison Cell
Meanwhile, back at the forests, we see Cortes, Tzekel Kan and his men entering the cave that leads to Nahuatl and they saw a light across the distance. As they entered the light at the end of the passageway, they have found the most beautiful city. "Nahuatl", said Cortes, "How I have found you at last. Soldiers, prepare your weapons. We got us two thieves to find." Cortes' soldiers prepared their guns and they marched while Cortes and Tzekel Kan follow. Meanwhile, back at the prison cell, we see Miguel taking a nap for an hour or two while Tulio bangs his head a few times on the door. After he stops, he looks at Moctuzema, still in Delgar's evil spell, but then comes up with a plan. He sees a coconut near Miguel as he continues to nap and Tulio takes it. After reaching his right hand out from the prison cell bar, he throws it at Moctuzema, knocking him out in one hit and becomes unconscious.
Then, he takes out the spear Moctuzema was holding and uses it to grab the keys from the key hanger and he succeeded. "Psst, Miguel", said Tulio, "I've got the keys. Now, we'll wait until that guy wakes up and we'll give him the keys so he can get us out of here." "His name is Moctuzema", said Miguel, still asleep. "Boy, you sure are a sleeper", said Tulio and he goes to sleep with him after making a huge yawn. An hour later, they woke up to hear a sound from the keys. "Tulio", said Miguel, "Can it be?" "Yes it is", said a voice from outside of the prison cell and the two partners saw Moctuzema now back to his normal self. "Moctuzema", said Miguel, "You're back to normal." "Normal?", asked Tulio. "I'll explain later", said Miguel, "Can you get us out of this cell, please?" "Certainly", said Moctuzema, "Since you are in love with my daughter." Then, he opens the prison door, letting the two out.
Two minutes later, they have gotten out of Delgar's lair where we see Chel still playing with the panther before she sees the two along with Rosie's father and Moctuzema wants to know how he has gotten out of here. "Why was I down there in the first place?", asked Moctuzema. "You were controlled by Delgar, though I don't know why I found out about his name", said Miguel, "but it doesn't matter. Anyway, have you seen Rosie?" "I think I saw him taking my daughter with him after I heard that he is to become king in Nahuatl", explained Moctuzema. "Oh, no", said Miguel, "He's going to do something horrible to her. We've got to get to the palace and fast." Chel looks at the panther and finally thinks of something. "I have an idea", said Chel, "It might just work." The three looked at each other for a while and agreed to know what Chel is planning.
She plans that while Delgar gets the crown somewhere in the palace, Tulio and Miguel will surprise him and try to hold them back while she and Moctuzema try to get Rosie back. "Let's hope it might work", said Miguel and Tulio nods his head in agreement despite a few questions that came to their minds. Will the plan succeed? Will it fail? Those questions remain unknown as the four walked on the panther as the cat ran as quickly as it could to bring them to the palace.
I'll update tomorrow.
