we have come to flourish,
so we have come to meet
on Earth."
only to Polish the precious stone,
just as Eagle and jaguar in flourished battle,
so we have come to sculpt an own face,
so we have come to forge a true heart,
on land, strong heart as stone."
A light beam flooded his body. As a balm, the poem calm down and appeased his heart. He closed his eyes, took a breath of fresh air and sat down to wait for the old man. He was thinking what to do when he saw him and when he stop his thoughts, he noticed that Evening light had been there, almost in front of him, but in absolute immobility and the green color of his cloak, made him invisible to Night Eagle eyes and the multiple feelings at his heart.
—I see that you are faithful to your destiny— said the old man. Night Eagle rapidly incorporated; kneel down at the feet of the Teacher. Evening Light took his hands and got him up immediately and said to him:
—A warrior of the Lord of fire darts, a brave man of the flourished battle; never bows before any mortal. The Warriors only bows before the omnipresent Lord, before the impalpable and invisible, the one who invented himself. Never ever before any man, do not forget. They walked to the entrance and began to go down through the large stairs of the sacred cenote.
—Our brotherhood understands, —the old man continued talking— that although you're not one of ours; you're also not a common man. You surely come from distant lands and you are serving a power intention or a knowledge test. Whatever your destiny, the brotherhood has decided to support you in fulfilling your commitment.
