Eztli, Peta, Konane and Rono were searching for each other in the maze of trees and bushes, they were holding stones in their hands. They shared a sense of confusion, unsure of where these stones had come from, yet instinctively choosing to keep them hidden in their pockets as they continued their search.

As Rono meandered through the rancho, his feet leading him closer to where Konane resided. Spotting Konane in the distance, Rono quickened his pace and called out to him, only to be met with the same question from Konane - "Where did you go?"

With a shared sense of bewilderment, Rono and Konane decided to head back towards Peta grandparent's house. However, as they reached the threshold of the house, a sudden, piercing scream shattered the tranquil atmosphere.

Eztli and Peta, who had been in a different part of the rancho, instantly hurried towards the source of the screams. Konane and Rono hearts raced with fear as they stumbled upon the eerie sight of a goat, its body riddled with inexplicable holes, oozing with crimson blood.

Their hearts pounding, their breaths ragged, Konane and Rono raced across the sprawling fields, their feet carrying them far away from the macabre spectacle. Finally, they found respite beneath the shade of an ancient palm tree, catching their breath and trying to make sense of what they had witnessed.

Shocked and frightened, the pairs of friends found themselves frozen in place, their minds reeling with the inexplicable horror before them. And then, in a sudden twist of fate, there was short-lived as a figure emerged from the shadows, an old man wielding a menacing machete, his eyes glinting with suspicion. With a sharp edge pointed between the boys' heads sharp edge glistening wickedly under the moon.

Before they could process the gravity of the situation, an elderly man emerged from the shadows, his weathered face etched with concern and suspicion. "Who are you, and what brings you to my rancho?" he demanded, his eyes darting between the bewildered youngsters. While Konane stood rooted to the spot, too overwhelmed to speak, Rono took a step forward, attempting to defuse the tension. "Wait, sir! I am a friend of Peta's; please, calm down. We mean no harm," he pleaded, his voice quivering slightly.
