Jonathan levitated both of them and Ronú and Lena helped
guide the limp bodies inside the protected house. Kuó grabbed
up the fallen Staff of Power and carried it inside the house. Once
everyone was inside, Viviana collapsed the protective cocoon.
“Are they...dead?” Lena asked bending over to see if either of
the victims were breathing. Brilloso came up and licked on Tital’s
hand and whined, this only set Moka and Eegh into a chattering
frenzy.
“They are starting to turn blue,” Jonathan said holding a light
on them.
“We need to give them mouth-to-mouth resuscitation,”
Viviana said.
“What is that?” Ronú wanted to know.
“Just do as I tell you to do, exactly as I say. Put your mouth
over Bardala’s mouth and blow air into her. Pinch her nose
closed. Lena, you do the same thing for Tital, don’t be afraid, do
it NOW! Jonathan, you pump on Tital’s chest to keep his heart
working. I’ll do the same thing for Sis. Ronú, Lena, force the air
in then let it leave their lungs. Then repeat it over and over till
they return to us. Jonathan, do it like dad taught us. Twenty-two
pushes on their chests per minute.
Back atop Kukulcán’s Pyramid Yum Cimil said to Ah Peku,
“Nice work, I’m sure the other Spirits will be happy to know you
killed your two servants, the Pterodactyls. You can start feeding
those six babies over there in those nests. Maybe you can even
teach them how to fly.”
“But…you saw me kill the two big humans. They are the most
important ones. The little ones of the group, I’m sure I can get
them all later. Come, let’s drag their souls to Xibalbá then you
can have some fun with them.”
