"Feathered Serpent arrived on a celestial petal. For generations, we kept the secret hidden. Until a young man broke the balance, and the forces of evil joined to usurp its power. We must find Feathered Serpent before it's too late."

"Feathered Serpent arrived on a celestial petal." Spoke an elder's voice in an ancient tongue.

In the crisp dawn light, the rainforest was violently disturbed. "Run, Santi!" cried a frightened voice behind. Macaws, toucans, and other birds fled in fear. His breath was ragged, almost lost, betraying the urgency of his flight, eyes about to pop. Santi broke through the undergrowth, tearing clothes and skin on thorns that left a bleeding gash; a city hipster running for his life. He heard a thump behind him. "Guido," he thought with teary eyes. Kike and Esteban had fallen first. Adrenaline coursing through his veins lent him an almost superhuman speed. In truth, he was no match for his pursuers, well-versed in the ways of the jungle. Yet, luck seemed to favor today.
Darts flew near, one tangling in his curly hair. Disappointed aboriginal eyes peered through the leaves, and an angered face expressed: "Now I'll have to chase him." A seasoned aborigine hunter, streaked with charcoal paint, moved like a shadow, with a fang necklace and a shrunken head on his blowpipe. A younger hunter followed, but both their darts kept missing their mark.
Though the dense vegetation obstructed his view, the roar of the river gave him hope. "I'm close!" he whispered, pulling every bit of strength, legs burning with pain. The sound grew louder. He sprinted the last steps forward.
Although close horizontally, the river was far vertically. The thick jungle had deceived him, and his astonishing speed became his demise. Out of the blue, he hurtled over the edge of a cliff next to a large waterfall.
His fall felt endless, his body slammed into the river below, head crashing onto submerged rocks. A cloud of dark, thick blood filled the clear waters, obscuring all sight. Everything turned pitch black.

Feathered Serpent
Darkness dominated all sight. After an eternity, a speck of light emerged in blackness. Moments later, another one shone through. Three flecks of light now, then four, now five. Soon specks of light bubbled afar. The inked void morphed into a tapestry of stars. Stellar nebulas spread in hues of fuchsia, blue, and purple, unfurling gradually.
Outer space, a sight to fathom.
