(POV:Writer(Me))
Carmen introduced all of the family members to Manolo, who happily greeted them. He felt happy to be with his family, to be surrounded with so much love and happiness.
-"This, is La Muerte's castle" a tree-like castle surrounded by flowers and beautiful patterns and colors, was in front of them.
-"Come, she will help you find my new daughter-in-law" Carmen pulled Manolo forward and they walked to the castle doors. They walked inside, amazed by the wonderful inside's.
-"Wow!"
-"Now, this is a castle!"
-"We were always La Muerte's favorites!"
-"You know how bullfighter's flirt with death, huh?"
-"And that's why there are so many of you down here" Carmen teased with a smirk on her face, while Manolo chuckled.
-"La Muerte's throwing a big Day of the Dead fiesta for everyone!" Carmen explained as they finally reached the table.
-"Ask her, mijo" she pushed her son forward.
-"My lady, could you help me find Y/n Posada?"
-"No one here can help you, bullfighter" everyone gasped in surprise as the chair turned and it was Zibalba seated, not La Muerte.
-"The Land of the Remembered has a new ruler!" he chuckled.
-"What!" everyone gasped in surprise and Carmelo spit out his drink.
-"Who, you ask?"
-"Little old me" he chukled.
-"You again?" Manolo looked at him suspiciously.
-"But La Muerte would never hand her domain over to you" Luis stated as he took off his hat.
-"She lost a bet," Xibalba replied blandly.
-"Ah, she would do that" Luis agreed, nodding.
-"This land is finally MINE! All thanks to you, Manolo!"
-"What?"
-"La Muerte, bet that Y/n would marry you, I bet that Joaquin would marry her"
-"And since your not around anymore, Y/n's gonna marry Joaquin, just to, you know, protect her beloved town"
-"So I win!"
-"No, but Y/n passed away...I-I saw her...Oh no!"
-"Oh, Yes!" Xibalba laughed with a big sly smirk plastered on his face.
