Part 1- Island of the Dolls
(DRIP DRIPDRIP DROP DROP )
Once again rain begins to falls at Xochimilco, Uriel stands in front of the ghost of the woman. Uriel looks at the ghost, shaking as he thinks: "So this is the Famous Llorona huh, my mother always told me if I went outside at night without permission La Llorona would get me, now I know it´s true."
"I want to talk to you; you are the Llorona are you?" Uriel asks the woman in Ancient Aztec language. The woman stares at him and nods. She lets go of the children, the children frightened of seeing the ghost run towards Marjorie and hug her crying.
La Llorona has the appearance of a beautiful woman. She has her skin and hair white color, yellow eyes, a long white dress with long sleeves. She has white veil covering her face and her feet are not visible. She sees Uriel´s aura and says: "Guerra"
Uriel also sees her aura growing as the wind begins to blow. La Llorona suddenly screams:
"AAAAAYYYYY MMMMIIIIISSSS HHHIIIJJJJOOOSSS"
"Marjorie takes the kids and run inside the house. Hurry!!" Uriel says as he stares at the ghost. Marjorie nods and grabs the two children from their hands and run inside the house. Bella and her cat were nowhere to be seen.
The ghost appearance changes as claws begin to grow out of her hands. Her corneas changes into black and her eyes change into red with blood coming out of her eyes. She releases a shock wave as she screams one more time.
(BBBBOOOMMM)
Uriel begins to feel that his soul was separated from his body the moment he hears her scream. His body begins to feel numb and he is losing conscience. Suddenly Uriel makes a fist and flames come out of his ring changing him into a partial Charro Form which only consisted of his suit without his coat, gloves or his hat. His soul returns to his body.
Uriel breaths heavily as he says: "That was a close one; I could die if I´m not careful."
La Llorona screams one more time, Uriel stands up and says: "Barrera de Viento" (Wind Barrier) and blocks her attack. La Llorona disappears behind a tree. Uriel searches for her with his senses.
"Where is she, I can´t hear her rhythm at all." Uriel thinks as he closes his eyes.
(Drip,Drip, Drop)
Uriel feels water from behind. The ghost was behind him leaving Uriel frozen with fear. Uriel turns around and the ghost scratches him with her claws.
"URRRIIEEEL!!!!"Majorie screams, Uriel steps back and gets in one knee breathing heavily and he is bleeding from his arm.
"She is quick, and dangerous." Uriel says as he loses sight of the ghost. He stands up looking for her, however she disappeared her presence completely.
(SSSCCCRRRRAAATTTCCCCHHH)
La Llorona scratches Uriel´s back causing him bleed. She continues to attack while Uriel dodges her multiple times.
"Calm down Uriel, read her movements." Uriel tries to hear her rhythm but he can´t concentrate. The ghost disappears one more time. Uriel closes his eyes and begins to concentrate. He begins to hear guitar strings coming from the ground.
"I found you!!" Uriel says as he dodges the ghost attack from the ground. He grabs the ghost's arms and looks at her in the eyes. Uriel holds tightly and says:
"Ahide and Xochitl are alive." Suddenly the ghost turns back to her original form; her claws disappear as she calms down. She begins to cry putting her hands in her face saying:
"AY MIS HIJOS." Uriel puts his hand in her shoulder and says in Aztec language:
"I met them, they are beautiful children. However they are being controlled by an evil man, and I want to help you, please tell me your story."
The ghost stands up looking at Uriel, she begins to speak saying: "You have pure eyes, but an evil soul, you remind me of Cortes a long time ago."
"Please tell me what happened to you" Uriel says to the ghost. The ghost lowers her head looking down saying: "I will, I want to see my children and I know you take me to them."
The ghost looks up and begins to speak: "It all happened 500 years ago, on the faithful day I met that man."
Part 2 – 500 years ago in the Mexican Gulf Coast.
"Ayúdenos por favor necesitamos Agua." (Translates: Help us please, we need water.) A young man says to the elder of a Native village near the coast. The man was wearing strange clothing made of silk, colored brown. He had white skin, brown eyes and brown hair. The man came with some soldiers with him and wanted water and food.
The village elder ordered them to stay in the coast and provided water to them. Also he ordered them to provide medical treatment. Among them was a young girl named Marina; she was 16 years old at that time. She had brown skin, black hair, and yellow eyes. She was ordered to look after Cortes.
A couple of months later:
Marina (Age 16) was the smartest person in the village. She learned to communicate with the voyagers in just one month. She became close to the captain whose name was Cortes, she often went to their ships to learned more about their language and cultures. She would bring that information to the elder. She and other woman became close to the man of the ships.
"Thank you for taking care of us, Marina" The young man says to Marina putting flower in her head as they walk down the beach.
The voyagers and the Natives formed a close relationship, the elder permitted them to enter the village and live with them. As a reward the voyagers gave them some of their treasures they brought with them, such as silk, plants and other marerials.
"No, thank you!" Marina blushes and asks the young man: "Cortes, why did you come here are you going to hurt our people?"
"Of course not!!" Cortes grabs Marina with his arms and looks at her in the eyes:
"My mission is to explore and nothing else Marina, the only thing I want is to follow our God´s will and to help my family in Spain" Cortes realizes they were too close and blushes.
He steps back from Marina, but Marina hugs him saying: "Cortes, I think that I felt in love with you, isn´t that funny?" The man blushes but holds her tight as well surprising Marina. Cortes looks at Marina and says:
"Marina I love you too, under this full moon I swear I will be with you forever."
The two of them exchange a kiss under the light of the full moon with the wind blowing causing the waves to move as well.
Part 3 – 500 Years Ago: Aztec Empire
Cortes and Marina married, but Marina needed to leave her village because it was against the rules. She began to move along with the voyagers, with her help the voyagers venture into deeper Mexico where they encounter the powerful Aztec Empire. Marina received the name of La Malinche because some of the natives considered her a traitor even if the Aztec Emperor Montezuma accepted the voyagers as "Heavenly" people who return to earth and Marina was considered the "chosen one" because she was the only one that understood them.
They were permitted to stay in the empire and Cortes became an ambassador for the Spanish and Aztec relationships. Cortes and Marina stayed in a house outside the empire in a small island in the middle of Lake Texcoco where she gave birth to two children: Xochitl Monroy Cortes, and Ahide Martin Cortes.
For 10 years the relationship between the voyagers and the Aztecs went very well. The Aztecs trusted the voyagers and vice versa, many of the sailors had kids with the Natives as well and they created the new race Mestizos.
During that time Marina got in contact with 5 Aztec Deities. She also became their translator, at least once a month she would go to the altar on top of the temple in Teotihuacan where she would bring offerings to the Gods.
However one night near the city of Tenochtitlan, Cortes and Xochitl were walking down the road. They were approaching the little bridge that connects the island. Xochitl was holding a little flower and playing with her father saying:
"Daddy, daddy look, look this is pretty flower right?"
"Yes it´s a nice flower mija we should hurry or mommy will get mad." Cortes says smiling at her daughter. Cortes sees that in the beginning of the bridge there was a woman standing there with the resemblance of Marina.
"Mommy what are you doing here" Xochitl says as she runs to her, however she passes out.
"XOCHITL!!" Cortes screams as he runs towards Xochitl.
"Don't worry she is only sleeping, I need to talk to you." The woman that resembles Marina says to Cortes.
"Marina what are you doing, where is Ahide?" Cortes asks.
"My name is Malintze, not Marina and I am your wife remember, we have a child name Martin and here he is" Malitntze says as a boy comes out of the tree, the boy is 6 years old, has brown skin with yellow eyes. He walks towards him saying:
"Hola Papa"
"How can this be, I don´t remember you, you are mistaken. I have only two children." Cortes says as tears come out of his eyes.
"Of course you don´t, it is best for you not to remember." Another woman comes out of the tree; she is wearing a red dress with a veil covering her face.
"Who are you?" Cortes says shaking.
"They call me Isabella, but I am not important." Isabella says as she puts her hand on Martin's head.
"Why is this happening, what did you do to me?" Cortes says as he drops into his knees crying.
"Nothing, six years ago while you were on an expedition you met Malintze and you fell in love remember." Isabella says to Cortes. Cortes looks up with rage saying:
"No I don´t! I only love Marina that is all." Cortes takes out a sword and charges towards Isabella. Isabella raises her arm paralyzing Cortes. Wind begins to blow hard as Isabella and Malintze walk towards him saying:
"Listen, you are the chosen one, you will conquer this land in the name of Spain, and it is your destiny."
"That´s right Capitan, you will be our guide." Two men come from behind, both of them white skin but one with red eyes and one with green eyes.
"Who are you?" Cortes asks them.
"We are your subordinates, and in two days, when the eclipse is up in the sky, the conquest will begin." The two men say to Cortes. Isabella kisses him in his lips making his eyes shine red and says:
"You understand now, right?"
"Yes I understand, I am the Conquistador," Cortes says smiling.
"Good now then time to go" Isabella says to everyone around them.
Suddenly everything goes black. "PAPA. PAPA" Xochitl calls for Cortes.
Cortes wakes up looking at Xochitl and hugs her saying: "Hija, thank goodness you are alright."
Cortes walk into his house thinking on what he experimented was a dream or not.
