S1.E15 ∙ The Subterranean Secret
Sat, Aug 7, 1982
Esteban and his friends are now trapped with Mendoza, Pedro and Sancho in the Fort of the Black Eagle, surrounded by Gomez's men. Our friends attack the Spanish twice. First, they draw up the stolen cannon, but the ammunition runs out quickly. They then begin to use vases filled with gun powder as cannon balls. These unexpected attacks take Gomez's men by surprise, and they draw back, but determined to take the Fort, they prepare for a second attack. Mendoza and Yupanki advise the three children to flee to the Old peak. But Gaspard almost catches them, and a long chase begins through a dark cave inhabited only by bats.
At last, Tao discovers a secret passage of the Incas, which leads them up towards the light. The children recognize the path leading to the Old Peak when they emerge. They see to be safe this time. But what adventures await them now that they have both pendants in their possession that will allow them to open the gates of the Cities of Gold?
S1.E16 ∙ The Urubus
Sat, Aug 14, 1982
At the old Peak, Esteban, Zia, and Tao find Mendoza and his two companions with Chief Kraka. Offering to guide them, Mendoza, Sancho, and Pedro set off with the three children to see the Cities of Gold. But Kraka is wary of Mendoza and sends Vaina and several good soldiers to escort them. On the way, the little group is attacked by the giant Urubus and its huge bronze arrows, but they escape with the help of Vaina and his soldiers. Pressing on, the children come across a girl who has fainted on the ground. This is Lana, who is from the village of Totola and has been kidnapped by the Urubus as an offering to Pacha Mama, the Goddess of the Earth. Our friends accompany Lana to her home, where they are given a warm welcome by Sabal, Lana's father. Mendoza questions Sabal about the Cities of Gold, but Sabal has never heard of such a phenomenon. Our friends hardly relaxed when the Urubus attacked the village (built on an island of floating reeds) on rafts they had made. The Urubus bear Lana off again. Despite Pedro and Sancho's fear of the Urubus, the children refuse to abandon their new friends. Once again, Tao has a brain-wave that enables them to save the villagers and take Kuruga, chief of the Urubus, as a prisoner. He begs Esteban for his life and tells them, "The Oracle revealed to us that the Goddess Pacha Mama must have her sacrifice, or she will pour the fire of her anger down on the Urubus". Hearing this, Tao suddenly remembers the words of Kraka, the chief of the Old Peak, who told them that the goddess Pacha Mama protected the gates of the Cities of Gold. Kutuga shows them the way, and our band of friends sets off again, convinced they have finally found the mountain of the Cities of Gold.
