We resume the search for 'El Rey' as Steve Sayors has been cutting through the jungle creating a path. He attempt to make small talk with the guide.


Sayors: So do you have a name?


Guide: My name is not of importance right now.


Sayors: Well what's the deal with this 'El Rey' fellow going into hiding?


Guide: He's not hiding. He's mediating. Away from noises and the problems this corrupt world has.


Sayors: Well why did he come here of all places?


Guide: For peace.


Sayors: Peace from what?


Guide: That's a story for him to tell you.


Sayors: I heard he doesn't talk...


Guide: There are reasons for that as well.


Sayors: Well how is he supposed to tell me anything, if he doesn't talk?


Guide: You certainly ask a lot of questions.


Sayors: It's kinda my job.


Guide: The answers you seek will reveal themselves in time.


Suddenly they approach a cliff, The guide points out to Steve Sayors a bridge not too far in the distance.






Sayors: I can't cross that! Look how unstable it is!


Guide: It's fine. Look, I'll go first...


The Guide easily crosses the bridge, almost as if he was as light as a feather.


Guide: Your turn!

Steve Sayors takes two steps and breaks a piece of the bridge.


Sayors: Oh my God! I don't wanna die! Help me!


Guide: Mr. Sayors, what did I say about fear? If you show the jungle your fear, it will exploit it. Much like life, except here it's easier to die!


Steve Sayors starts to concentrate and hides any fear he might have. He gets up and crosses the bridge.


Guide: See, you did it! Great job Mr. Sayors. Now let's push onward!


Hours go by... eventually Steve Sayors attempts to learn more about 'El Rey'


Sayors: So I heard 'El Rey' translates to 'The King'?


Guide: You heard correct...


Sayors: Why?


Guide: That will reveal itself in time...


Sayors: Is there anything you can tell me?!


Guide: Jaguar.


Sayors: His Jaguar mask? What about it.


Guide: No. Jaguar.


Steve Sayors looks forward to see a Jaguar staring at him like he's its next meal.





Sayors: Holy...


Guide: Remember show no fear!


Sayors: How am I not supposed to show fear?! It's a fucking Jaguar!


The Jaguar roars and pounces! Taking Steve Sayors to the ground. Steve Sayors drops his sword. Just as the Jaguar is about to bite Steve Sayors face off, We hear another Jaguar's roar in the distance. Once the Jaguar hears the roar, he takes off back into the jungle. After a few minutes of frightened shaking Steve Sayors is helped up by The Guide.


Sayors: What happened?


Guide: I don't know. To be honest, you should have been that Jaguar's dinner.


A few more hours pass by... Steve Sayors starts to worry that he might have to spend the night in the jungle. On top of it all it looked like it was about to rain. Then they see an unbelievably tall pyramid.





Guide: The one you seek is in there...


Sayors: Alright.


Steve Sayors along with The Guide begin ascending up the pyramids stairs. After what seemed like an eternity. Steve Sayors made it to the top but was exhausted. Not having water for hours, and almost falling off a bridge, along with almost becoming food for a Jaguar. Steve Sayors barely was able to see the man before him.
