The high priestess of the Orizaba town near the Syphinx borders meets the emissary. "We shall not spread our seeds in your barren lands, but nor shall we be confined to this corner of the world. Our reach will extend to the peninsula to your south, where the wet land meets the river." Behind her, Orizaba warriors stand ready, wearing newly fashioned armour of animal hides.
Elsewhere, intrepid Orizaba settlers attempt to extend the borders of Tamoanchan to the firey peak to their North. Initial forays into the lower slopes are successful, and some of them choose to stay there amongst the shattered rocks. Others press on, attempting the peak itself. The first few ventures fail miserably; the heat and harsh slopes prove too difficult. Their prayers to the goddess are met with a curious result. Rather than helping them reach the volcano, the volcano is brought to them: The earth around them erupts, rising and buckling as molten rock pours out. By the time it has hardened and cooled, the Orizaba are already at work exploring the font of minerals that has boiled up from beneath.
At the heart of Itzpapalotl's power, the priestesses select warriors to do battle with the mythic creature threatening the growing city. They don ceremonial attire - including the newly improved armour - and set forth to challenge the beast.
