A Story of Friendship

Parties and songs

"So, Agatha used to be part of the family?!" Zipacna can't believe it as he was shock, and tried to make it clear.

"And Tio Xibalba already had a human friend a long time ago?!" Algner added.

"I can't believe it!" Marigold could not believe it either. "How did we not know?!"

"Well, Agatha was never mentioned anymore since she left." Candlemaker said. "And she was not actually a mortal. Her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents on both of her parents' sides are vampires, having the same heritage with them, so means she was half-immortal."

Juan Carlos sighed as he just realized that he's not the only (formerly) human who Xibalba got close with. "Is there anything else you can tell us about them? How they ended up being friends."

"I know they got off into a rocky start, at first." The wax god chuckled. "But the longer they bond, they became close to each other, like, not only being best friends, but also partners-in-crime and more like brother and sister thing, or father and daughter thing before you were born, Marigold."

"So if Agatha stayed with Papa, she would've been my adoptive sister or aunt." Marigold felt delight that she would have a sister or another aunt if her father hadn't left.

"I feel you, sobrina." Zipacna winked at his niece. "Your Papá and I never expect to have a sister. In fact, I never experience of having one, not even if it was a human."

"Anything else?" Camazok asked Candlemaker for more.

The Book poked Candlemaker on the shoulder, and it opened a few pages where Aggie's story was written. "Santa Chihuahua! It says here that Agatha already got married and had children!"

"She has a baby when I met her!" Hugo raised his hand.

"Well, congratulations to her. I wish I can go there, and meet her in person again." The wax god said.

"But is there anything else about Grandpapi and Tia Agatha's friendship story?" Kyroc asked.

"Hmm, there was story about them here in the book, but their stories are separated, so this might take a while to read them both." Candlemaker said as the book switched pages back and forth. "But, I sure do know that the Lizards knew about Agatha since her stay in the Land of the Forgotten."

"You mean, Emilio, Juarez, Roberto, Lorenzo, and Regina? They knew all about Agatha?" Juan Carlos questioned.

"Oh, yeah. They really loved Agatha's parties she made every week during her stay."

The family were confuse of what Candlemaker said about Agatha and her parties, but they don't want to ask anymore, not wanting to spoil the story as they left, and heading back to the Land of the Forgotten.

Trying to sneak inside the castle and avoid getting caught by Xibalba and La Muerte, the four gods and four godlings searched for the lizard servants to find more answers about Xibalba's friendship with a human Filipina. Just in the kitchen, they finally found them.

"Ah, welcome back, milords and milady." Regina greeted. "Where have you been? We saw you this morning that you left the castle very early."

"Well, we were just, um..." Alastor didn't know what to say; neither do the rest since they don't want to lie to their loyal servants.

"Come to ask about your father and his best friend?" Juarez guessed.

There was a little silent, until Hugo broke it. "Yes."
