They both waited until it was dead at night for the plan to make its run, Tulio was packing the supplies onto the rowboat while Miguel was just out of the brig. He gently closed its trapdoor and tippy toed towards his partner. Out of the shadows Altivo appeared behind Miguel poking him with his nuzzle, Miguel turned and sighed in relieve. "Oh... Altivo listen if you ever what a favour..." he stopped, as Altivo started sniffing all around him searching for something.

"Would you forget about him Miguel! He's a ruthless war horse, Not a poodle! Lets go!" He started lowering the rowboat.

"Adios..." Miguel said to Altivo as he jumped up on the sides and dropped on the rowboat. Altivo rushed at the side, neighing loudly at them.

"Shh, shh. Whats the matter with him?", Tulio questioned.

Miguel suddenly realised, "Oh, he wants his apple" bring out the apple from his red shirt.

"Well! give it to him before he wakes up the whole ship!" Altivo neighs more wanting his apple that was promised. Tulio grabs the apple off from Miguel, "Fetch!" Throwing the apple up at the horse. The apple went overhead above Altivo and bounced from the mass to the other mass, Altivo did nothing but stared at it before it flew off ship. Tulio and Miguel were lowering the boat into the sea but stopped as they both heard a small splash, then happen to see a water diving horse.

Altivo was now swimming for his live, all for a apple.

"Hold on Altivo!" Miguel dived off the boat and swim to the rescue.

Tulio rowed the boat towards the two. "Miguel! Have you lost your mind!" Miguel swim to the boat, while dragging Altivo along. Both turned as a ship was heading towards them, "HOLY... SHIP!" Tulio Shouted. The ship made their boat capsized, making all three swimming for their lives. All three were under the capsized boat, Tulio a rope that was attached to the boat. "Loop the rope under the horse!" Miguel took it and swam under the horse and to the other side of the boat, both climbed up and grabbed the rope. "On three, Pull the rope."

"What?" Miguel asked before another ship was closing in on them.

"THREE!" They pulled away at the rope just before the ship smashed into it. Thanks to the waves the ship made near them it gave them more pull into tipping the boat back up.

Both swim towards the boat which had Altivo Laying backwards on it, enjoying his earned apple. "Tulio! It worked!" He beamed. Both climbing back up the boat, lying onto their backs, heavily breathing.

"Did any... Of the... Supplies make it?" Tulio said between breaths.

Miguel turned facing the supplies "Well, umm... Yes and no" he said timidly, as Altivo was stuffing himself on the supplies that survived.

He threw his arms out "Oh... Great!", He shouted sarcastically.

"Hey Tulio look on the positive side at least things can't get -".

*Thunder claps and rain falls*

"Excuse me, Were you gonna say "worse"?" He leans over to him, with irritation in his expression.

"No" Miguel replied sheepishly.

"No?"

"No. Absolutely. I've revised that whole... thing."

"We're at least in a rowboat."

"Yes, in a rowboat, you missed nothing."

For hours the trio have being rowing in that boat. From murderous waves, to scorching sun, and left the starve. Nothing to mention that they could of had a nice main course of a unconscious seagull that landed one of the paddles, but ended up as a tasty meal for a shark. They continued to row until they reached land, but unfortunately... They didn't reach anything. On the boat during the scorching day, the duo leaned back to back to each other, giving up.

"Tulio..." Miguel started in a dehydrated tone. "Did you ever imagine it would end like this?"

There was a pause before he answered back "The horse is a surprise".

"Any regrets?"

"Besides dying? Yeah." Tulio starts Whimpering, "I never... had enough... Gold.

"My regret, besides dying, is... our greatest adventure is over before it began."

"Well, if it's any consolation, Miguel, you... made my life... an adventure." Tulio then started the whimper more.

"And if it's any consolation, Tulio, you made my life... rich" Miguel Joined in the whimpering. Altivo snorts in irritation.

The two rested one of their hands off the boat, but then felt something soft, dusty. They lifted up their hands and stared, as sand appeared in palm of their hands. They both sieved the sands off their hands before they finally came back to reality.

"Sand?" Miguel said in disbelieve.

"It's land!" Beamed Tulio. All three jumped off, repeatedly kissing the sandy land. Miguel closed his eyes as he kissed, then kissed a few a more before opening his eyes seeing an skull in front of his kissing. All three jumped up in horror. In front of them were two human skeletons, rotten to the bone, also having an native's sword through each of them.

Miguel spat his tongue out wiping it off with his hand, as he had just kissed a dead skull.

"All those in favour of getting back to the boat say "I" ."

"I!" Miguel agreed.

"I!" Tulio turned and both ran, Altivo snorted in agreement also trotting to the boat.

Miguel followed, but stopped and turned back facing forward. He brought the map out from his shirt and looked at the pictures and descriptions on the map as a large stone in front of him resembled the same picture on the map. "We're here.." He whispers to himself.

"Miguel! I could use a little help here" He gestured at the boat, Altivo also agreeing with him holding a paddle in his mouth. Miguel didn't listen as he was paying more attention on the map. "Miguel..." Tulio came closer to him, "Hello?".

Miguel turned "Tulio we've done it!", He said quickly, turning back to the map.

"What is that, you still have the map?", He said slightly annoyed.

"It's all right here!" Still not listening properly to Tulio.

"You kept the map but you couldn't grab a little more FOOD?!" Now shouting, annoyed more.

"You said so yourself" He pointed at him, walking towards him. "Tulio it could be possible, and it is! It really is the map to El Herdado!" Tulio huffed and paused, giving him a deadpanned stare.

"You drank sea water, didn't you..."

"Oh, come on!" Miguel Exclaimed.

"I'm not "coming on"!" He walked passed in, shoving him aside. "I wouldn't set foot inside that jungle for a million pesetas!".

Miguel smirked as an idea came to him. "How about... a hundred million?".

Tulio stopped, "Say what?".

"Well, I just thought, that since El Herdado's the city of gold... a place where you can pluck gold from the very walls, it might be worth stopping by.", He started walking towards the boat, Tulio walking up behind him. "But you don't want to do that! So let's go back to the boat and row back to Spain! After all, it worked so well last time."

Tulio spluttered, "Waaa- Wait!" Tulio changes his mind and hurriedly stops him, he placed both hands on Miguels shoulders and leans closer to him "New Plan. We find the City of Gold. We take the Gold... And then we go back to Spain."

"And buy Spain!" He added quickly. "Yeah" Tulio agreed. Miguel grabbed one of the swords from one of the dead skeletons and pointed at a direction with it. "That's the spirit. Come on Tulio we'll follow that trail!"

Tulio looks ahead at the direction pointed, seeing nothing but vines and trees. "What trail?"

Miguel slashes and hacks at the vines in front of him "The trail that we blaze..." The vines fell, showing a huge boulder in its place. "That trail that we blaze" He pointed at another direction. Tulio shook his head at his stupidity, he turns as Altivo starts heading pass him at a different direction.

"A,A,A! No! no you don't..." He grabs the lead, pulling Altivo along.

*Crunch!*

"E'OUCH! YOUR HORSE BIT ME IN THE BUTT!"

Meanwhile
Back At The Temple

Luna wasn't liking this at all, Celestia's Idea of seeing the outside world. She knew that Celestia was wise and clever, also free spirited. But not wise enough to listen to her parents orders and never leave the city grounds. Luna had to think fast as the more she thinks of Celestia the more she thinks she could be in danger.

"Guards!" She shouted. Making two royal white native guards stand tall in front of her holding long spears. "Search for my sister, Bring her back here and Make sure Nothing harms her!" She ordered.

"Yes your highest!" They replied simultaneously in their guard tone before running off, fetching more guards for the mission.

"Please be alright sister...", She whispered worriedly.
