	Daring felt like she was swimming in fear as she tumbled down to the lava. Suddenly a blast of heat came; Daring shot up out of the temple into safety and the sense of relief was over-whelming. Then came the pain her right wing burned with pain and all over she was bruised and battered, the scratches on her hind hooves hurt like crazy, Daring moaned in pain. What about the statue? She thought. It was probably too late anyway. She looked up and the statue flew out of her hat and on to the ground in front of her, another blue figure appeared.
“You thought you could evade me and capture the relic for yourself, but you were sadly mistaken Ms. Do. And now, you shall meet your doom!” Ahuizotl yelled the last part as he held the Sapphire stone. Ahuizotl pulled out a whistle shaped like a cat and blew. Suddenly the cats came back, the tiger, the leopard, the jackal, the Black Panther and the pussy cat. Ahuizotl cackled manically and chortled with gibbering bursts of laughter.
