joy. Eventually they fell asleep. Embracing tenderly, unconsciously they were unwilling to separate in the future.
Morning woke them up with love. The first sun rays that came into the room, found the couple in a love ritual. Rain Flower rain and Night Eagle wanted to recover all lost time, their time of love.
For four days and nights, love took over all spaces in that room. Sometimes tenderly, sometimes with passion, the lovers recuperated all the kisses and caresses that fate had denied them. Night Eagle was materially captivated. The world had disappeared. Love was the strongest sentiment which had thus far experienced. The only reality was incarnated in Rain flower tenderness and passion. Her body was the only true thing and represented a lost paradise.
The morning of the tenth day Night Eagle reacted when he saw his empty gourds. He recalled at that same moment, that this was the last day when he must find "The stone of power of the land of the feathered serpent".
He explained his situation to Rain flower and suggested that she went with him in search of the stone. Rain Flower explained to her beloved, that by enchantment, she could not get far from the Cenote, that if she did, she would gradually disappear as mist, that if he left, because of the same spell, he would never find the way back to her. The girl passionately asked him that instead, he should stay and live with her in the House. With kisses and caresses, she told him that they would have everything and could love one another for life.
Night Eagle then told her, that he also suffered from an incantation, and if in ten days he did not find "The power stone ", he would forever lose his memory. The warrior said to Rain flower:
—So if I stay, tomorrow you will love a body, but my being, will be totally lost. The woman cried disconsolate in the warrior arms. They had no choice; love had been eternal
