The crescent moon shines brightly, the night is deep. Outside Kapok City, trees are everywhere, lantern wax cicadas stop among the trees, striking a low drum-like intimidation.
"Dong... Ka... Dong... Ka..."
The low cicada drums echoed through the camps of the Kingdom, sounding like the mysterious jungle whispers in the eyes of the Mayans. Within the Kingdom's military camp, the Royal Banner of the Chief Divine, the Royal Banner of the Lake, and the Royal Banner of Mayapan stood side by side.
"Dong... Ka..."
East Sea Marshal Bertade sat silently on his knees in the main camp, accompanied by the cicada's drum-like sound, his fingers lightly traced across the unfolded Maya map, from Kapok City on the west side of the Yucatan, through a very short narrow jungle path, reaching the Capital City of the Xiu Clan, the "Three Times Rebuilt Star Ancient City," Uxmal Three Star City.
