- We are here Honey!- He smiled at his wife after turning off the plane's engine.
- Take the map Miles, I'll take the medicine.
The tired doctor looked at the calendar and smiled... October 6th... - Only one day my love... - She thought.
- I can't understand where my journal with my map is, but according with your map, we have to walk behind the waterfall. I'm so excited... it's the first time that we can finally meet the secret city.
- I know, but remember, we have to do it fast, according to Eduardo, in only 1 week there were 18 infections.
- Don't worry, we'll be fine and celebrating with Arnold tomorrow at Hillwood.
- I really hope so.
The couple crossed all the way, overcoming each of the traps almost perfectly, until they finally reached the entrance, where a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the ancient civilization.
- OMG, It's worst than Eduardo said.
- C'mon the palace is over there. Lucky to us, the King's brother know how to talk with us.
- Miles... Stella?
- Yes we are! Are you prince Ujo?
- Yes me is... Come on quickly, a lot of sickness, so fast.
- What? Is not only 18 people? - The blond man asked worried.
- No, being almost all the adults.
- All? - Both asked scared.
- Yes... only are 7 healthy.
- Miles... the cure is not...
- Enough, I know...
- We can't prepare more, we can't travel again, if Prince Ujo get sick... nobody could communicate with us.
- Stay here, I can travel alone and get more ingredients.
- Are you sure? Is so difficult.
- What other thing we can do?
- Ok, but Miles... please, be careful, I couldn't imagine come back with our baby without you...
- Don't worry, I'll be fine. Wear a mask, we don't want you to get infected too.
- I promise, I'll be ok. Luck!
- See you soon!
Miles prepared their baggage, the map and return carefully along the dangerous road. - I'm almost in the plane.
- I'm not pretty sure about that...
- LaSombra? What are you doing here?
- Don't worry Shortman, is just that my men told me that we had special guests, and I wanted to say hello to you... you know... we have important unresolved issues...
- Get away from the green eyes...
- Maybe I would scared if your wife said that, but was only you... so, if you don't want to talk, I have to attack. FIRE! . The bad man screamed. The archaeologist watched with terror as some of the bandit's men set fire to his plane.
- NO! What have you done! Monster!
- I made you lose your only way out, now you will tell me... how do I get to the town with the green eyes...
- I will never help you... Even if it costs my life.
- Well if you wish it! We'll help you... attack!
A horde of sword-wielding bandits surrounded the concerned man. He had failed his mission before he even started. But he was not ready to give up. He quickly analyzed his opponents and found the one who could win to him, quickly confronted him and managed to strip him of his sword. - Damn, it's a pity that Stella didn't see it. - He smiled mischievously, until he saw how the number of bandits increased. - There are too many... the best thing will be to flee and see how to return to the city later.
He run away, trying to go to the worst scenarios, to lost all the people behind him. After running for an hour, he finally managed to lose them all and return to the entrance of the city.
- I did it... I came back. I've to find Stella. - He run so fast as he can, trying to find his wife, but what he saw, left him horrified, in all his way there was not a single adult standing.
- Stella! Stella! Where are you? - What happened? I just leave for a couple of hours...
- Miles? What are you doing here?
- I couldn't leave San Lorenzo... LaSombra is waiting for us... he and his men destroyed our plane.
- OMG... can't be possible... we are against the clock... and... - The woman stopped her speech, an intense dizziness came over her.
- Stella are you ok?
- I'm afraid that... no. I've been accommodating patients... honey, this strain is ultra contagious, the only good thing is that it only affects adults.
- Oh no... we don't have enough medicine and now we can't go outside... What will we do?
- I've a plan, but I was waiting for you... They have some... mechanism, we can use it to expand the medicine and cure all the people at the same time. It need just some maintenance.
- I have some tools in my bag, let's do it! They got to work, it was difficult, they worked hard all night, until they saw the first rays of the sun on October 7 and without them knowing it, the last time that they would see them.
- It's ready Miles! We did it!
- We just need El corazón to make it works... I'll... I'll look for Ujo and...
- Miles!- she caught him before he passed out. - You look exhausted... darling, I'm afraid we're infected...
- I'm afraid so... we have to... look for him and start to...
The couple began to see double, their legs gradually lost strength. They held hands and walked to the palace where the Prince would give them the amulet that would save everyone's life, however, despite the fact that they managed to reach the place, they opened their eyes in terror, the prince lay unconscious on the ground.
- Oh no... he's...
- I'm afraid so, he is... Stella...
- But he's the only one who...
- I know... and I can't resist more... I'm sorry Stella... It was my fault...
- No my love... you did your best...
- Stella? Stella? - But was useless... the woman had fallen into a deep sleep. - I'm sorry Arnold... I failed you...
He closed his eyes and started to remember the day that he looked his wife for the first time... the first kiss, their wedding, the miraculous birth of their little one, the first time that his baby said daddy and then... he had fallen into a deep sleep too...

Like everyone in this fandom knows, today is the anniversary of the day that Miles and Stella went to San Lorenzo, so I tried to imagine their last moments before they sleep for 10 years... I hope that you like it... I'm so sad now... see you tomorrow!
