THE ROAD TO EL DORADO
Writer: Peter Lerangis, stage 2
El Dorado was a rich and beautiful city with so much gold that it was as bright as the sun. Some say that it is still there, hidden, waiting. The story begins more than thee hundred years ago, somewhere in the jungle?
Tzekel-Kan, the priest of El Dorado, knew that peacetimes were coming to an end. The gods were coming to destroy El Dorado. The gods want blood! I will find two sacrifices shouted Tzekel-Kan. He grabbed a young woman named Chel to sacrifice her. But the ruler came forward and said that they didn?t know the gods wanted sacrifice. May the gods come to El Dorado! Shouted the Priest. Everyone knew the gods would hear?
Far away in Spain, two good friends Tulio and Miguel, where playing a game of dice with a sailor. They where winning but they were using loaded dice. The sailor wanted to play one more time but he was broke, he only had a map. They won and they saw that it was the map to El Dorado. Just then, some dice fell from Tulio?s pocket and everyone saw that it was loaded dice. Tulio en Miguel ran for there lives they climbed onto a balcony, jumped off and landed in two containers, they where on a boat, sailing to the new world, to El Dorado...
But it was not long before Cortes (the captain of the ship) discovered the two friends and put them in a prison deep inside the boat.
Alvito. You want a nice apple? Help us get away. Miguel said to a horse, wich was above them. You?re talking to a horse, Miguel! Tulio said. But Alvito dropped some keys down to them. They opened the prison door and ran to the lifeboats. Miguel threw the apple to Alvito. It bounced into the sea and Alvito jumped after it. Miguel turned around and jumped in too. Tulio dropped a lifeboat into the stormy sea and saved them both.
Days passed on the boat and had no food. They thought they where going to die. Suddenly the boat stopped moving.
They saw a long white beach and a thick jungle. LAND!!!! Miguel noticed that he had seen this Island before. It was the same Island as on the map to El Dorado. They jumped on Altivo?s back and rode into the jungle, to El Dorado
Along the way, they saved an armadillo named Bibo from a snake. Finally, they came to a big waterfall, the door to El Dorado. Suddenly two soldiers ran out from behind the waterfall and took the two friends in to El Dorado
Look, the gods have come to us! Said priest Tzekel-kan. All eyes were on them. That?s right said Miguel. He was already enjoying being a god. The people looked at them and everybody dropped to their knees. Tulio and Miguel were gods now
Tzekel-Kan led tulio and Miguel to a beautiful temple. They think we?re real gods! The gold is ours! We?ll live like kings! Miguel said happily. Suddenly a young woman named Chel appeared. She had been listening and she knew their secret. What do you want? Asked Miguel. I want adventure too. So when you leave. I?m going with you! She said. If you want the gold, you?re going to need my help.
The next morning chel took the ?gods? to sacrifice. Tzekel-Kan wanted to sacrifice a man but Tulio saved him just in time and Chel said that the gods wanted no sacrifice but gold. So they carried tons of gold into there temple.
Back at their temple, Miguel and Tulio Danced happily. ?We?re richer than the king of Spain!? How could they get their gold back to Spain? They visited Chief Tannabok and asked for a boat. He agreed they would have one in three days.
Miguel walked trough the streets of El Dorado. He found a guitar and gegon to play it. Children came to listen. One of them had a ball. Soon they were laughing and playing ball. Tzekel-Kan saw Miguel and said to Tulio that gods shouldn?t play ball with kids, the people must fear the gods. Tzekel-kan brought Tulio and Miguel to a playing field. They should play the very best team. Crowds of people were shouting. How do you play this game? Tulio asked Chel. You hit the ball trough a ring at a wall. Oh no we?re going to lose. Said Tulio. Gods don?t lose! Chel replied.
The game began they were losing but Chel had an idea Bibo looked looked just like a brown ball so she threw him in He jumped through the ring again and again. Points for the gods! The gods won!
Tzekel-kan and chief tannabok came to them smiling. Tzekel-kan said, Well, You?ll want to sacrifice the losing team. Miguel stepped forward, Listen Tzekel-kan we don?t want sacrifice. Tzekel-kan was confused and angry. The gods did nit want sacrifice? Then he noticed a drop of blood on Miguel?s forehead. He knew gods do not bleed. Because they are NOT real gods! He thought and walked away.
After three days, the boat was finished. Miguel was standing at the door listening to Tulio and Chel. Maybe I don?t want to go to Spain, Said Chel. Tulio took a deep breath. He loved her. I want you to come to Spain with me and Miguel. Well only me. Forget Miguel. Ok? He said softly. Miguel was angry and hurt. What about their friendship? Forget Miguel? He would not forget that!
Tzekel-kan was cooking something hot and green in a heavy pan. Behind him, there was a jaguar made of stone. Smoke came out of the pan and..Ka-boom! A green light shot from the pan to the stone jaguar and to Tzekel-kan?s body. Tzekel-kan moved, the terrible jaguar moved too. Now, let?s find those false gods! He laughed crazily.
He and jaguar moved through the streets of El Dorado. The people were afraid and ran away. Lords Tulio and Miguel, help us! They cried. The jaguar found Tulio and then Miguel. They started to run, but the huge stone jaguar chased them trough the city. They ran and ran until the came to the side of the deep well. The jaguar and tzekel-kan jumped toward Tulio and Miguel. At that moment, Tulio and Miguel jumped to the side, and the jaguar and Tzekel-kan fell into the water below.
When the people saw Tulio and Miguel they shouted with happiness. Chief Tannabok said Miguel. I?ve decided to stay in El Dorado! Tulio was angry that Miguel wanted to stay what about their friendship? And Miguel could not understand why Tulio was angry. Tulio had the gold, he had Chel and he had said Forget Miguel.
Later that day, Tulio and Miguel coldy said goodbye. Tulio, Chel and Bibo got on the boat. A guard ran up to Chief Tannabok. Cortes and his soldiers are coming. Tzekel-kan?s leading them here! He showed them the gold. Chief Tannabok face went White. How can we stop them? I have a plan said Tulio from the boat. We must knock over the gates to the city and block the entrances at the end of the tunnel by the waterfall. We?ll use the boat. El Dorado will be safe and hidden. Tulio was sad. His plan would save El Dorado but he and Miguel would no longer be together.
The people were ready. The stone gates were held open as the boat moved slowly toward the tunnel. Tulio prepared to open the sails. Ready go! The gates began to fall but Tulio could not open the sails. We won?t get away in time cried Chel
Tulio?s life was in danger. Miguel jumped on Altivo and they raced toward the boat. He reached it and jumped on it. He caught the sail and pulled. It suddenly opened, and the wind pushed the boat toward the tunnel. Get off the boat quickly, Miguel, Tulio said, or you?ll never see this city again. I know. Said Miguel. But I decided that I?m not going to let you have all the fun! Tulio smiled. They were back together again.
A huge wave pushed the boat through the tunnel. We have to block the entrance! Turn the boat! Tulio cried. The boat hit the entrance and everyone jumped into the fast water. All the gold fell into the water and disappeared. The gates closed, and the entrance to the tunnel ? and to El dorado ? disappeared forever.
