Capítulo 51: 51th Time

Cuatzho Bath had developed into a strong warrior, agile, intelligent, a good student and very brave. The two of them would run around the jungle and even venture into the Pemón and Woajuus villages to buy food and utensils that the jungle did not provide.

Marutta had also learned the sciences and was developing into a beautiful young woman. The Wayuu people who saw her said that the goddess of flowers dwelled among them.
