THE BLUE FEATHER

“We are also going to need more equipment. We are going
to need Ek Chuah to come and buy us a big truck and horse
trailer. We can’t ride to the herds, that burns up too much time,”
Bardala said.
“I will send him to you, as soon as I leave,” Zotz promised. “Ix
Chel and her crew of Spirits are working on all the Maya
ceremonial attire that you will need for your crew and the
Almaya tribe wear.”
“Excellent, you are on top of everything,” Tital commented.
“Well almost everything. Yum Cimil is trying to get free of his
prison in order to come pay you a visit. Then there is the strange
matter of several trees being ripped up from the ground close to
Dómpu City. The monkeys who live in the area claim they have
seen a huge monster at night. I have not seen anything, but I will
keep you informed as best I can. You will need me to keep
opening the portal door to Vivia, so summon me when you need
me again. Now, I will return to Vivia.” Both Zotz and Mahucutah
walked away from the old campsite, then stopped, and turned,
with Zotz saying, “There is a strange smell around this area, a
strong smell.”
“Yes, we know, but we don’t know what it is that’s making it,”
Tital said.
“It’s Otherworldly, that’s for sure,” Mahucutah informed
them after sniffing the air deeply.
“Definitely, and the smell comes from those that stay in
Xibalbá!” Zotz reported. “That always leads to trouble. All I can
say is watch out.” Zotz and Mahucutah walked into the glowing
mist and vanished.
