I've got some news: I've changed the amount of chapters from 20 to 18 because it might take... ah, I can't say anything else, should I? Because I'm making this chapter even longer than the previous chapters.
Chapter 8: Miguel's Love For Rosie
Later that night, we see Delgar dressing himself in his panther costume. Then he goes out of his hideout and he sees Tulio and Miguel playing "Rolling A Seven" where the two partners each take turns rolling a seven to see if he could wear a crown now that the people of Nahuatl think that they are the gods themselves. "What are the gods are doing?", asked Delgar and goes to his henchman. "They are playing some sort of game", said Delgar's henchman, "I am not sure of that." "What else do you think they are playing?", asked Delgar. "Um... sending out innocent animals?", asked Delgar's henchman. "No, you fool", said Delgar, "Listen, I have come up with a plan to get rid of those gods once and for all. We do not know where they came from nor whose names they have." "And what plan is it, Delgar?", asked Delgar's henchman. "It is very easy", explained Delgar, "There is an underground lava underneath Nahuatl and that is where I will get rid of them."
"At what time?", asked Delgar's henchman. "I suppose... two days to be exact", said Delgar and chuckles evily, "Then, I will kill King Peratu and his meddling fool Fevgra and take over as king of Nahuatl." He watches Tulio and Miguel continuing to play the game until finally, the winner of this game goes to Miguel and gets to wear a crown before the panther dressed Nahuatl vizier laughs manically.
The next morning, at Cortes' ship, where the boat lands on the shores of the palm tree island before we see Cortes', Tzekel Kan and the other men going into the forest. Along the way, Cortes speaks to Tzekel Kan. "Have you been on this island before, prisoner?", asked Cortes. "My name is not "prisoner", sneered Tzekel Kan, "It's Tzekel Kan!" "Then, my apologies", said Cortes, "Anyway, do you know where those two stowaways are?" "What stowaways?", asked Tzekel Kan. "Con artists", said Cortes, "Thieves who trick people and steal their money for their selfish greeds. They have escaped from me and if I see those two again, I will send them back to Spain... in chains and have their heads cut off. When I first saw you, I was planning to bring you to Spain and have the guards execute you when you lied to me about El Dorado being there back at the island, but something tells me that... you might help me find them."
"Really", said Tzekel Kan, "You see, I happen to be a priest of El Dorado until those meddling fools foiled my plan to kill them. That is the reason why I told you I did saw them the last time you grabbed me. They were on the gates of El Dorado which are now destroyed and you would not believe me." "Again, my apologies", said Cortes. "Apologies accepted, Cortes", said Tzekel Kan, "because I believe that you were the same person on the book of spells that you were the mighty lord with a sword and if I saw you, I will worship you."
Then, he bows respectfully to Cortes and the spanish explorer gives out his evil smile. "Thank you, priest", said Cortes evily. Meanwhile, back at Nahuatl, we see Miguel and Rosie making out with each other and nearly two minutes later, Tulio and Chel arrive and saw Rosie with Miguel. "Rosie", said Miguel, "I want you to meet my friends. This is Tulio, my partner and Chel, a person from El Dorado." "Lovely to meet you two and I see that you are quite a couple", said Rosie and begins to flirt with Tulio, "And you are unbelievably handsome."
"Uh, thank you", said Tulio and he and Rosie shook hands with each other as did Chel. "Now, I want to know what kind are you two suppose to be?", said Rosie, "Everyone knows that you are the gods after all. Especially me." "It may be hard to explain, but...", said Tulio, "We're not exactly the gods as you people think we are." "What do you mean?", asked Rosie and the two partners told Rosie everything about their personalities: partners in training, con artists who steal people's money and travelers as well when they first started their journey to El Dorado to grab the gold and head on back to Spain rich.
"Really?", said Rosie, "Wow. That's... amazing. It's amazing that you two only traveled to the most beautiful place in the whole world. I always want to go to other places as well as El Dorado someday." "You might get the chance", said Miguel, "How long will we stay here, Tulio?" "Exactly... three days", said Tulio. Miguel smiles and looks at the beautiful white skies. Meanwhile, in the middle of the night, we see Cortes and his men setting up camp while Tzekel Kan helps them out for a while and looks at the spanish explorer for a while. "Just you wait", said Tzekel Kan, "Soon, revenge will be mine." He chuckles evily. The next day, we see Miguel and Rosie hanging out with each other having lunch near the markets where they last met and Miguel makes funny faces, causing Rosie to laugh her head off. "You are so funny", said Rosie and kisses him in the cheek, causing him to blush in brightly red and fall to the ground, now dazed from love. "Oh, I am so sorry", said Rosie. "That's alright, Rosie", said Miguel, still dazed. Then, they started to have fun with each other chasing each other in the streets of Nahuatl as the song "Things Only Get Better With Love" plays on the background.
I'd say when
Heaven falls
I'll be the war you never fought
I will protect you after all My very own
And with a silent prayer
I'd run through city streets and bare
My soul from cold grey stone
For this love
I have in my desire
A will to walk through any fire
And I will stand by you
When winters come
chorus
And rise, rise above it
Take hold and take comfort
Cause things only get better with love
Break out the shadows, look to tomorrow
Cause things only get better with love
The song switches to the instrumental as Miguel and Rosie tackled each other to the ground and looked lovingly into each other's eyes. "This is it", thought Miguel, "This is your chance. Tell her how you feel. Don't freak out." "Uh, Rosie", said Miguel, "There's something I have to tell you." "What is it, Miguel?", asked Rosie. "I...", said Miguel. "Yes", said Rosie. "I...", said Miguel, "I love you." "Really?", asked Rosie. "Really, really", said Miguel. Rosie chuckles. "I love you too", said Rosie and the two lovers kissed each other and we cut to them in the bunk bed that he, Tulio, and Chel sleep while Tulio and Chel watch. "Ah, love at first sight, isn't it, Tulio?", asked Chel. "Yeah", said Tulio and the song continues as Miguel and Rosie continue to kiss.
I came just for you
A wall around the living proof
No one can tear it down
Or break on through
Under a crimson sky
A soul bathed in the healing tide
No mortal leans on life
Like me to you
I have in my desire
A will to walk through any fire
And I will stand by you
When winters come
[repeat chorus]
Laughter is better with love
Mothers live better with love
Teach your children love
Shower the world with love
Laughter is better with love
Mothers live better with love
Teach your children love
Shower the world with love
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus]
Laughter gets better with love
Mothers live better with love
Teach your children love
Shower the world with love...
The song ends and we cut to later where Delgar walking over to Moctuzema's house and attempts to talk to him about something... in secret. "Why, hello there, Delgar", said Moctuzema, "What brings you here? Is there something?" "Oh, there is something better", said Delgar, "What is it?", asked Moctuzema and Delgar takes out his magic powder and throws it on him, causing him to get very dizzy and then gets unconscious. "That", said Delgar and carries his body to his hideout where we see his henchman preparing something that would affect Rosie's father. He drops the unconscious body to the floor and Delgar takes out a red magical powder that throws it on him and nearly a minute later, Moctuzema wakes up, now being controlled by Delgar now. "From now on", said Delgar, "you will do exactly as I say. Is that clear?" Moctuzema, now in a spell, spoke. "Yes, Delgar", said Moctuzema. "Excellent", said Delgar, "I will use him to help me get rid of those two gods those fools worship."
