Chapter 16: One Final Meeting With Cortes
Later, as the two con artists return to Nahuatl after the clouds have turned back to white and the beautiful blue sky appears, they see dozens of people cheering them for their heroic attempt to save all of Nahuatl, but to their horror, Cortes appears and walks towards the two before he spoke. "How did you two escape from the brig remains a mystery to me", said Cortes, "But... it is necessary that you two have saved all of Nahuatl", said King Peratu as she shows as well to thank the two, "We are forever at your dept, Miguel and Tulio, protectors of Nahuatl." Then, he and all of the citizens of Nahuatl bowed down respectfully to the two con artists. "You don't have to bow down to us", said Tulio. "We're just con artists, not the gods themselves", said Miguel, "and Cortes is right. Tell you what. How about if we give you half of the gold the king and Fevgra themselves gave us and we will not be stowaways on your ship again?" "Do you swear on behalf of what you two have done?", asked Cortes. "We swear", said Miguel and Tulio together. Cortes then smiles and offers a handshake from the two con artists. Later, we see Cortes and his men carrying half of the gold Miguel and Tulio have given them and they say their farewells to one another before he disappears into the passageway. Then, Tulio and Miguel smile at one another and hugged each other while the song "The Panic In Me" plays on the background.
Often these days
And always these nights
Of the turbulent heights
No matter how crazily
No matter how far
The moments of tenderness
Are those where you are
For when you are laughing
Like silver, like rain
You cool me, you soothe me
And love me again
For a few perfect hours
The world lets me be
You know how to calm down
Oh oh
The panic in me
The panic in me
The panic in me
Once in a while
I slip back to my past
Where I long to remain
But the dream does not last
In the trials of the present
No matter how low
You bring me such peace
And you won't let me go
For when you are laughing
Like silver, like rain
You cool me, you soothe me
And love me again
For a few perfect hours
The world lets me be
You know how to break down
Oh oh
The panic in me
The panic in me
The panic in me
The song switches to instrumental and we see Miguel hanging out with Rosie in the two palaces, kissing each other and sleeping with each other. They smiled at one another and kissed each other once again before the song continues.
For when you are laughing
Like silver, like rain
You cool me, you soothe me
And you love me again
For a few perfect hours
The world lets me be
You know how to break down
Oh oh, oh oh
The panic in me
The panic in me
The panic in me
The song ends and we fade to black.
