In the year 1111 A.D, the Mexicas (Aztecs) abandoned Aztlan, guided by a sacred prophecy to find the land their gods had promised. Now, centuries later, Tlalli—a clumsy but relentless young dreamer—sets out to walk the same path, chasing destiny and something greater than himself.
Tlalli and her father find Citla unconscious after her encounter with the old man of the volcano. They go to look for the town's healer to save his life.
