Chapter 3 - Papel Picado and Mariachis

Micta was happily skipping along the rocky path, The reaper and Xoilt following behind them as they soon approached a bridge made of marigold flowers galore and decorated with colorful patterned papers. The child looked at the decoration then looked on forward to see where they were going to.

It seems that they're passing through the city of the dead, a lot of skeletons and spiritual creatures passing by whilst having fun with spending time with family and friends. It gives such a joyous vibe to Micta and they feel giddy about it.

The xoilt shook it's head and scratched an itch away before going beside the child and looking at the colorful city. The reaper stood nearby as the three looked at the colorful, happy surroundings.

"This is where you will have to learn how things work around here, child. For beyond this we will go to a deity that will help us go to the one that will help you go to the afterlife in the underworld" the reaper tells the child as he started walking toward the city, the child was dumbstruck as they looked at the dog. The dog could only look back at them and nod before ushering the child to move forward and with a little hesitation, they both followed the reaper.

In the city were many papers with patterns and words decorating and connecting to each of the road lamps seen around, marigold petals scatter the road, filling it with a golden sunset orange color as they all walked.

Micta notices music coming off from somewhere, it seems that the child's companions notice as well. "The mariachi." The reaper starts. "They seem to be playing something different for this year, always full of surprises from those bands." he says as he approaches the source of the music, Micta and the dog following.

The Mariachi was playing a joyful song and everyone danced around along with the music that played throughout the night.

Micta smiled brightly and joined with the other skeletons to dance, the hairless dog and the reaper watched in content as the night went on with happiness and melodies.
