As the skeleton lunged towards Zacil with a bony claw reaching out, Zacil's instincts kicked in. With a swift movement, she transformed her hand into a razor-sharp claw, meeting the creature's attack with fierce determination.

Malinalli, swooped down swiftly, her eyes gleaming with malice as she aimed to strike at Zacil. But Zacil was quick to respond. With a sudden surge of energy, she transformed her hand into a razor-sharp claw, slashing through the air with precision and leaving deep cuts on Malinalli's skin. Blood trickled down from the wounds.

Breathing heavily, Malinalli looked at Zacil with a mix of surprise and admiration. "Zacil, I see your learning has surpassed mere basics. You have delved into the very depths of our wisdom". 

As if on cue, Malinalli snapped her fingers, commanding the Tecolotes  to come to her.

Meanwhile, in another part of the battlefield, Peta , with determination, found herself cornered by the enemy. Just as the Tecolote closed in on her, a group of majestic Eagles swooped down helping her fighting the Tecolote in the air.

Amidst the chaos, Peta's Grandpa, with a deep understanding of the old ways, approached Peta. "Peta, how did you manage to summon these familiars?" he inquired, his eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and concern.

Elsewhere, Rono and Konane, two who had been battling the dark forces found themselves exhausted and in hiding. "Where's that monster?" Rono whispered, his voice strained with urgency as he peered out from their hiding spot.

Konane, cautiously approached the edge of their hiding place, her eyes scanning the battlefield. To their surprise, the menacing creature was nowhere to be seen. Instead, two monstrous beings transformed into Tecolotes, their forms shifting and blending with the shadows as they soared towards Malinalli.

"Rest easy for now," Malinalli's voice echoed. This won't be the last time you see me. Next time, you won't be so lucky, no matter where you hide... you won't escape from me." 

Eztli caught a glimpse of Malinalli disappearing into the shadows.

Four friends - Konane, Eztli, Rono, and Peta - found themselves gathered in the aftermath of a harrowing encounter. Konane, with a look of relief on his face, directed his words to Eztli.

"I'm so glad you're okay. You had us hella shook," Konane exclaimed, his voice still tinged with remnants of worry.

Eztli, with a furrowed brow, replied, "Did you guys hear what happened?"Rono, chiming in with a sense of urgency, nodded vigorously, "We barely made it out alive. We had a fight with a monstrous creature while you were gone."

"So that witch attacked you guys too," Eztli muttered, realization dawning on his face.

Meanwhile, at a distance from the group, Peta's Grandpa and Zacil engaged in a serious conversation. Peta's Grandpa, visibly relieved, spoke to Zacil, "Fortunately, she's not badly wounded. What a relief. Did you see how the eagles protected her from that Tecolote? I didn't know she had it in her to awaken powers. It's hard to believe her nahual, her guardian spirit, would take that form. She could've died without their help."
