After having buried the corpse of the mother bear and cub, the Ahuizotl searched the corpse of the magician in search of something of value.
Fortunately, he found water and earth stones, as well as many gold and silver coins.
Using his storage rune, he took away everything valuable and left the corpse in that place so that it will finish rotting.
Well, he did not deserve a funeral for having murdered an innocent family. After that, he began to walk towards the forest because he had a long way to go to reach the village of Nahuales.
As he walked, he could hear his daughter laugh, so he removed his hand and realized that there were hundreds of butterflies around her.
Little Diana was enjoying the butterflies who seemed to want to be close to her.
The Ahuizotl smiled when he saw that and only used his hand to scare away the excess of butterflies that were in the place.
Diara did not seem to mind because she was having fun with one of the red butterflies that there were. Her father simply looked fondly at his daughter and continued walking through the forest.
After a while of walking, they came to a beautiful stream where there were some animals drinking water.
The Ahuizotl approached and began to drink water. Little Diana, who was playing with the butterflies, did not notice that, so in a bad movement she felt that she fell.
So she closed her small eyes, although to her surprise nothing happened because her father’s hand had held her.
So she began to laugh because she was extremely happy because she felt safe in her father’s hand.
The Ahuizotl only sighed and with his hand covered his little baby to have her better protected. When he finished drinking water, he began to walk.
Well, he wanted to find a safe place to eat some meat and maybe some golden fruit.
As he advanced for a while, he could see something curious in the distance because he looked like a Maquizcóatl, a two-headed snake was binding a human woman.
The Ahuizotl only looked at this with curiosity so he approached in a normal way because he did not want to start a fight against the Maquizcóatl.
One of the heads of the snake raised, and it began to speak, “What do you want, Ahuizotl? This is our prey. We will not give you its meat.”
The Ahuizotl only pointed with his paw to the woman “I would like to give you a golden fruit for the things that the woman has?”
The Maquizcóatl looked doubtfully at the Ahuizotl so the other head of the serpent stared at him, “Why does an Ahuizotl need the belongings of this human woman?”
The Ahuizotl turned to see his daughter on his back “I need the things because my little human daughter will one day grow up and she needs to have human things so that she can grow without problems.
She should not have to live a life in poverty because I did nothing to prevent it, at least with the things I get on my trip I will guarantee that my daughter has a wealth.
Well, for me it does not have any kind of value, human things as well as for you.
But I think an exchange is fair. “
The head of the Maquizcóatl only nodded. “You are a very responsible father for having adopted a human girl, even knowing that humans grow.
You have very good intentions, so we accept your deal. Just place the golden apple on that stone and you can take anything from the woman. “
The Ahuizotl then appeared a golden apple on the stone that they had indicated and, after approaching the woman, he used his magic.
With this, he managed to remove all the things from the woman who was completely naked, but that did not affect him because he was in a trance.
This because he was under the influence of the poison of the Maquizcóatl so he could only stay in that place to wait for his death.
“Thank you very much for the human woman stuff. You know where I can find a quiet place to take a short break.”
One of the heads of the snake looked at him. “You can go east. In that place you can find an area where a friendly dragon lives.
He does not tolerate human or elven adults but he will not mind that an Ahuizotl with his human daughter enters his home. Maybe you could even meet him.
It is a majestic creature that will respect the life of any creature; it is just that humans, elves and orcs do not stop seeking death trying to challenge.
Many times, the bones are left from their victims because they are obliterated from the forest.
I suppose it is a fair punishment for disturbing such an honorable creature. “
The Ahuizotl nodded and said goodbye to the Maquizcóatl before starting his way east to reach the dragon’s territory as he planned to rest and make his base to rest that day.
The main reason she didn’t want to go too far was because little Diana needed to take her time off in the shade.
Well, the heat of the fur and the heat of the forest could be harmful for her. That is why she had to always look for places to spend time.
Besides, he was not in a hurry because spending time with his daughter was the most important thing because he knew that sooner or later she would grow up, so he would have to leave her side.
Fortunately, human babies take a long time to mature, so he knew he would spend a lot of time with her, so he wasn’t desperate.
After walking for a while, he managed to reach the dragon’s territory where he looked for a good place to rest.
Once he found it clean, the place prepared a fire and placed a small cloth on the ground where he left his little daughter with a milk plant.
For his part, he began to eat some cooked meat because he was very hungry; it was not that he would not like to eat, but with a small baby it was her first and then it was him.
While the two of them were eating near that place, a group of mercenaries were gathered to face the forest dragon.
They had entered to kill him in one go because they believed that it was something necessary because he was a dangerous beast.
Not to mention that the reward for slaying the dragon was very high, so they weren’t interested in fighting a dragon for the gold coins.
