The Legend of the Aztec Goddess [The Road to El Dorado (2000) Fanfic]

Ch. 6 El Dorado! It's real?

Isabel, Blanca, and Chihuahueño followed Altivo towards a cliff. They stopped walking and looked down, seeing that they were standing on top of a massive waterfall.

" We are at a dead end!" Blanca looked at her companions worryingly.

" Since we are standing on top of a waterfall. There must be a way to get to the bottom. That way, we can have access to drinkable water." Chihuahueño barked, wagging his tail and looking excited.

Isabel's throat started to get sore at the mention of drinkable water. She looked at her companions and nodded.

" The only way to get to the bottom is to jump!" Altivo shouted as he jumped, surprising Isabel, Blanca, and Chihuahueño.

" He is nuts! How are we friends with him again?" Blanca asked as she and Chihuahueño looked and watched Altivo fall to the bottom of the waterfall.

" You have to remember. Altivo is a warhorse. So, Altivo must have gotten trained to be sudicial?" Chihuahueño spoke afterward.

" Altivo!" Isabel shouted, looking scared since she couldn't see due to the waterfall creating a mist below.

" I'm okay! The water is quite warm." Altivo shouted from below.

Blanca and Chihuahueño looked at Isabel, wondering what she planned to do next.

" Nope. We are not going to jump." Isabel shook her head when she saw the younger animals looking at her.

" There must be a faster way to get to the bottom of the waterfall." She turns and walks away, with Blanca and Chihuahueño following behind her.

Isabel, Blanca, and Chihuahueño walk through the jungle, trying to find a way to get to Altivo, who is casually swimming, unaware of the dangers of a pack of crocodiles eyeing him.

Isabel didn't know why, but as she walked and looked at her surroundings. She felt at ease in the jungle, like she was one with nature and its habitats.

' I wonder if I feel at ease in nature because of my gift to communicate and understand animals?' She internally asked.

Unbeknownst to the trio, mischievous Spider Monkeys were watching them. Despite its small size, they were bigger than Blanca and Chihuahueño. They looked at one another and nodded, deciding to play a prank on them.

Isabel walked, hearing the sound of the waterfall coming to her right. She turned and was about to walk to the path to the waterfall when she heard a cry.

" Isabel!" Chihuahueño and Blanca cried out as a group of Spider Monkeys grabbed and pulled them up to the trees.

Isabel watched in horror when she saw the Spider Monkeys jump from tree to tree with Chihuahueño and Blanca. To her relief, they were heading to the waterfall where she knew Altivo was.

" Hey! Give them back to me!" She shouted, but her voice was too far from the Spider Monkeys to hear.

She looked at her surroundings and spotted a twisted jungle vine nearby. She ran towards the tree, and to her surprise, her feet could run up the tree to the branch.

She grabs the twisted jungle vine tightly with her hands and jumps, quickly swinging from one vine to another.

Her eyes narrowed, intently watching the Spider Monkeys throwing Blanca and Chihuahueño to each other like they were dolls.

She didn't know why, but feeling the wind on her face and hair as she swung from vine to vine gave shivers all over her body. It was as though she was born to live in the jungle.
