Palace of Kukulkan, Aztlan

After the battle…Xolotl decided to visit his wife, La Catrina…

“TONANTZIN!” Xolotl walks towards the pyramid like throne. Hunahpu steps forward:

“Have some respect…you’re in the presence of the ruler of Mictlan…father…”

“Hunahpu…you should learn to respect your father…” Xolotl and Hunahpu glare at each other. Xbalanque stands in between them:

“Now now…we’re finally together after a 1000 years…how have you been…dad…”

Xolotl smiles and pats her head; “Xbalanque…you never change do you…”

“Why hello dear…you look as handsome as always…” La Catrina walks down her throne and approaches Xolotl. Xolotl looks at her and chuckles:

“And you look as beautiful as always…Tonantzin…”

“Would please call me…La Catrina…I dropped that name a long time ago…”

“As you wish…Catrina…now I have a question…why did you interfere in my mission…you know that I must take care of the intruders…so why did you let them escape…”

(SNAP)

La Catrina snaps her fingers; “Well…it’s because it was all written down…by the book of fate…”

The Book of Fate is a special object handed down to the Gods of Death from the Horseman of Death…the large book is brown with a special skull symbol on the cover and in the back. The book looks old and it tells the fate of the name the user puts the name.

“The Book of Fate told me that four souls would return to the land of the living…” La Catrina explains.

“I see…so that girl was destined to…”

“Yes…it’s all written down here…”

“Very well…I will never donut the book of Fate…but marked my words…if you ever interfere with my kingdom again…I will take you down…even if you are my family…” Xolotl looks at everyone as he walks away and disappears.

“Your father is always so serious…” La Catrina closes the book. Xbalanque and Hunahpu look at their mother; “Mother…what’s next for the Horseman of War…”

“Well…he will head west…where he will face one of his old rivals and strongest enemies…the book mentioned that it was a coyote…”

“A coyote…what does it mean?” Xbalanque asks La Catrina. She shakes her head; “I don’t know dear…but what I know is that his fate will change the world…”

New Mexico…

In a hill located in the desert of New Mexico…a man camps in the hot summer night…He smokes his cigarette as he looks at the moon…That man is Sundance “Coyote” Bill

“What a splendid night this is…but I’ve seen it for more than 100 years that I am getting bored…” Coyote closes his eyes and remembers an event from the past:

Sundance and the chief of the Mescalero stand on the shore of a lake…the lake has a destroyed golden temple as it shines as the morning sun rises.

The chief has the key and looks at Coyote:

“Sundance you need to destroy this key in order to break the curse. Here you go old friend” The chief hands over the key, Sundance refuses the key:

“No thank you, you need to seal that thing in the temple before the ghost returns, I will live on with my Granddaughter, this area will remain separated from time thanks to that key, and I don’t want to die just yet.”

The chief laughs; “Well I will die soon Sundance, please be safe and I hope you don’t regret this decision.”

“I know I will but that is my price to pay for making deals with a demon.” Sundance replies, smoking a cigarette, the sun begins to rise.

“Grandpa, Grandpa are you okay?” Cassidy (Coyote’s Granddaughter) asks Sundance who returns to his senses.

“I am dear; go to sleep okay, Good night.” Sundance says to Cassidy as she smiles and goes to the tent; “Good night Grandpa.”

Sundance feels a breeze and smiles; “It appears that you will be coming here…Charro Negro…our duel will be legendary…I will be waiting for you…”

Sundance “Coyote” Bill and El Charro…a rivalry and friendship that transcends time…
