It was going to be a very full day of activity, Tital realized as
he awoke early the next morning. He needed to go out and talk
to Zotz.
“Is everything going as I planned?” Tital asked, as Brilloso ran
over to check on the G-raptors.
“Yes, Mahucutah and Iqui Balam set sail moments after you
gave the command. They should be joining the Almaya tribe
within a few hours from now. I will take care of the Atoo
warriors, as if they were your brothers. No harm will come to
them while you are on your trip. I will expand their bubble cell to
be two kilometers on a side, which should be big enough for
them to comfortably live in till you return. The six Gigantoraptors
that can be ridden, I will see to it that they are cared for while
you are gone. I’m sure they will miss you,” Zotz said smiling.
“When I questioned Prince Togué, was he telling the truth
about Koo?”
“Yes, when we checked on the Almaya, they had only been
enslaved by the Atoo. Only six of the Almaya have died in the
four years since they were captured. All six of those died from
natural causes. Prince Koo is in good health, but he does miss his
family.”
“When I return, we will be proposing a ransom to see if
Atoo’s King Kaal wants his two sons back home with him, and the
other warriors. We will see if Royal Atoo blood is worth the
freedom of all of the Almaya that have been enslaved. While I
am gone, have Ah Chun Caan go to King Kaal, and tell him that
the Atoo war party that went to the Lost City of Dómpu, have all
been captured.”
