Hello everyone!

As some of you may have read I'm now moving my rewritten chapters and simply replacing the old ones in this I left these ones unchanged so people could read the difference but I don't think many people here on really care lol.

However to any who have read the old version I strongly suggest reading the new chapters. They're a lot better than the old ones, even if it follows the same plot there are still some changes.

...

Warning: Contains mild violence and coarse language. And of course, guy love. Don't like, don't read.

Disclaimer: I don't really think this is necessary do you? ...Fine. I own nothing. Nothing except the plot.

...

As promised the full summary (just a little more detailed than the other one really): Miguel is seriously injured during the fight with Tzekelkan. Mortally so. Tulio, scared and confused, will have to realise and confront his feeling for his friend and partner. But will he succeed before it is too late?

Read on to find out!

Prologue

...

"It's not called the Age of the Jaguar for nothing…"

...

Miguel sat in his throne next to his friend and partner of many years, watching the children of Eldorado perform below them. But he felt nothing. He felt neither comradeship nor the hard gold against his back. He felt nothing but the harsh bitterness of betrayal. He could see nothing but Tulio's lips pressed hungrily against Chel's, could hear nothing but those stabbing words Tulio had said repeating themselves over and over in his mind.

"Forget Miguel…"

Emerald green eyes glared into an image only they could see as an all too familiar voice cut into the blonde's thoughts. His conscious mind neither heard nor comprehended what had been said but he found himself replying despite.

"Isn't King kind of a step-down from God?" He asked. His voice sounded strange and unfamiliar in his ears. Miguel heard a muffled spluttering to his right as the willowy man beside him sprayed a mouthful of punch everywhere.

"Whoa! We can't stay! We have a plan remember?" Tulio choked out.

"How about…we forget the plan? Hmmm?" Miguel found himself saying, trying futilely to tempt the raven haired man.

Tulio stared at his friend in shock, his dark blue eyes searching his face in desperate confusion, his mind unable to think of a reply.

Miguel turned away from his partner effectively ignoring his physical presence, but unable to ignore the scene replaying over and over in his head. The blonde haired Spaniard wished desperately he could cut his supposed friend from his thoughts as well because after being betrayed so terribly he wanted nothing more than to forget that a man named Tulio ever existed…

Just as silence began to settle firmly over the two men once more a deafening BOOM nearby cause both their heads to snap up. They watched with wide, fearful eyes as a giant stone jaguar burst through the roof of Tzekelkan's temple. The panicked citizens of Eldorado scattered in every direction as large chunks of stone and rubble tumbled down like deadly rain.

High girlish screams ripped from the Spaniard's throat as the living statue ran towards their position, tail whipping, crushing everything and everyone in its path.

The two men started to run, terror coursing through their veins, but it was too late. The giant stone behemoth pounced, missing them by a few feet and coming to land in front of them, effectively cutting off their escape. Miguel stared into its glowing green eyes as the monstrosity glared down at them. The blonde felt the fear in his heart paralyzing his body. Dread pulsed through him.

This is the end… He thought, his mind becoming blank as he succumbed to his Fate…

Tulio looked over to see Miguel standing there in front of the creature, unmoving.

"Fuck!" The taller man cursed. 'This is bad. This is really, really bad!' Tulio thought desperately. 'Plan…Need a plan…!'

Suddenly a quiet, rhythmic pounding reached his ears, and it was getting louder and louder by the second. Looking up, the Spaniard felt relief flooding his system, for there was Chel, driving Altivo towards them. The horse reared as they reached their position, Chel yelling desperately.

"C'mon! Get on!"

Tulio didn't need to be told twice. Instinctively and without a thought to what he was doing, Tulio reached out and grasped Miguel's calloused yet slender hand, dragging him towards the white warhorse. But before they could jump on, a large stone paw reached out and whacked Chel off Altivo, straight into the beast's path.

Tulio and Miguel, his mind now wide awake, watched helplessly as the creature closed in on the Eldoradian woman whose face was contorted in fear.

"TULIO!"

...

Okay the revised Prologue is up! I know it doesn't seem that terribly different but they will be more and more in the following chapters.
