Later, in the Morning, the girls are sleeping the tent that being carry by the guards. And then, the leader of the High Priest, Lansuyu, put his head in, awake them from their slumber and greet them. After that, Lansuyu walk to the cliff. "The Goddesses have awoken!" said Lansuyu and the foulks are cheer up. As they are cheering, the girls come out from the tent. They saw the faces of the other three High Priests are filled with tension and displease about something. "Hey Tla... what is going on?" asked Flitter as he's sowing the flowers before them. "It's not going to be good!" said Tla. "This city had got the wish from heaven! And what do we do... in return? A mere... celebration?!" asked Lansuyu as the group of the Huaca ladies walk to him with a tray of a filled sack. "The Goddesses deserve a proper tribute!" said Lansuyu as the Huaca ladies put the tray of tribute upon their heads and slowly drop it down before the leader of the High Priests. "The beginning of the new age! The age of the greatness and power for us! Demand! SACRIFICE!" shouted Lansuyu as he's use his magic to create the orange lightning around the sack, destroyed it and revealed the tied up male middle age Huaca to all of them. The whole entire citizens are shock and gasp from this, along with their Queen her vizier and the other three High Priests as well. Flitter and Cloudchaser are starting to don't like what is going to happen along with them as well. "I'm starting not to like it now," whispered Flitter "Flitter, we have to do something!" whispered Cloudchaser "Now..." said Lansuyu and he's use his magic to pull the male middle age Huaca up and force him to go to the end of the cliff. Before any bad things going to happen, Flitter and Cloudchaser called a halt to the sacrifice. "STOP!" shouted Flitter and Cloudchaser and they walk to the leader of the High Priests. "This is not the real proper tribute!" said Flitter. "You both don't want the tribute?!" asked Lansuyu. "No! Of course, we wanted the tribute! It's just... Flitter! Tell him!" said Cloudchaser. "The stars... are not in position for this tribute!" said Flitter as she's poiting into the sky. "Like what she said. Not for this tribute, not today!" said Cloudchaser as she's drag the tied up male middle age Huaca away. "Well... it is possible that I had read the prophecy wronged," said Lansuyu. "No worry. The err is what all mortals have," said Flitter. "My ladies!" said Tepelan. "The citizens of the La Canela would like to offer our tributes," said Queen Zalan and the young male Huaca walk from the door and show trays that filled with dishes, pots, jars and staffs that made out of golds to Flitter and Cloudchaser. "My ladies... are these please you?" asked Tepelan. "Of course!" said Flitter and Cloudchaser. "The Goddesses had chosen!" said Queen Zalan and the carriers of the trays are quickly prepare themselves for the Queen's command. "To Sarlyga?" asked Queen Zalan after ran out of the idea of the place to send them. "N-no... no..." whispered Tla. "To Sarlyga!" said Flitter and Cloudchaser, even they don't know what it's mean. "Oh no..." whispered Tla with do facepalm. The carriers of the trays move to the cliff and Flitter and Cloudchaser are in hope to get golds. But then, they are shock that instead of give the golds to them. They are throwing the countless of things that made out from golds into the whirlpool below instead. "Umm hey... Tla... why are they throwing the golds away?" asked Cloudchaser after Tla walked up to meet them. "They sending those golds to Sarlyga! The Spirit World!" said Tla. "The Spirit World?!" asked Flitter. "Let me fix that," said Tla and he's walk to the Queen and her vizier. "Ahem! Sorry for the interrupt, but the Goddesses change their minds about Sarlyga," said Tla and he's show them the unhappy Flitter and unhappy Cloudchaser. "But they want all of the tributes to be in their temple," said Tla. "STOP!" shouted Queen Zalan and the carriers immediately stop their actions. "They wish... to bask! Take all tributes to the temple of the Goddesses!" said Tepelan. "YAY!" cheered The Citizens and the carriers of the trays quickly take the remaining gold to the temple of Flitter and Cloudchaser. "Nice work!" said Flitter and she's walk with Tla and Cloudchaser, left the leader of the High Priests in confuse. The Queen and her fat vizier look back at Lansuyu and smile to him with fun of beat him for the second time. "Smile as long as you can..." said Lansuyu Meanwhile, far outside from the City of Gold, at the Shore, the invasion force of the Kraang that Flitter and Cloudchaser had encountered many days ago had arrived. "Well, well, well..." said Kraang Subprime as she's looking at the broken Ship's boat nearby. Then, saw the footprints lead into the jungle. "What have we here?" asked Kraang Subprime and she's lead her force follow the trail of Flitter, Cloudchaser and Muhammad into the jungle. "HEHEHEHEHEEE!" laughed Kraang Subprime.
