In the morning Xibalba came to my realm.
"Sorry my dear but you lost!" He said laughing.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your boy Manolo, hes dead."
"What?! No hes not dead!" I said.
"Look for yourself." He said. I went back into the mortal world. I saw Carlos by the big tree. He was crying, and there I saw the grave he made for Manolo. Oh dear. I was shocked. How could he die?
"How did he die?" I asked. Xibalba kept silent. "Xibalba. "
"I dont know. It turns out Maria died protecting Manolo from a snake. After Maria died he wanted to die to " he explained.
I took a deep breath. " Well. A deal is a deal. Congratulations Xibalba. You won my realm." I said. Xibalba looked like a child that got a new toy.
"Good game." Was all he said. There was nothing I could do. So I traded spots with my husband. Xibalba got the land of the remembered and I got the land of the forgotten.
The land of the forgotten is so much different than my kingdom. Here its gloomy and poor forgotten souls are being wooshed into oblivion. I guess im just going to have to get used to this. But my thoughts settled on Manolo and Maria. Win or lose I didn't care, but it just breaks my heart to think that they had to die to be together.
