- Esteban, Zia and Tao walk through the mountains in the direction of Zia's village. They are being followed by two men, both of whom are strangely dressed, wearing clothes such as Zia has never seen any Inca wearing before. They shake the two men off their trail, however, and arrive at last at Zia's village. But to their great distress, they realize that it is deserted. No one comes to greet them except for Zia's condor Pattu, who flies off abruptly when he feels the presence of soldiers. In fact it is Gomez and Gaspard who have also been following Zia on Pizarro's orders. He had known that the girl would try to return to her village. This time the children cannot escape and Gomez threatens to burn down the village if Zia refuses to read the quip for him. Zia will still not agree. Then he threatens to throw Tao and Esteban into a giant nest of ants. At last Zia agrees and gives them the following interpretation: "Go up to the Old Peak, north of Puma village". Gomez decides to leave the next morning to check this reading and locks the three children up in a temple. At this moment, the two strangely-dressed men who had been following them up the mountain appear and tell them "Don't be afraid of us. We are here to save you. We are sent by Kraka, the Great Chief of the Old Peak". The children escape from their Spanish guards and, escorted by Vaina and Ketcha, head along a secret path toward the Old Peak, where Kraka is awaiting them.—Anonymous
