"The men who hunt Iria," he whispered into the skull's empty eye socket. "Let them forget. Let them lose the path. And let me bring the proof to the world."

Mano grabbed the obsidian skull, shoved it into a canvas bag, and ran. He scrambled up the rock staircase just as the vortex collapsed. The Nube Negra was gone, smashed to splinters. But he was alive, clinging to a floating spar, the bag clutched to his chest.

The threat was cold, efficient, German. They knew about Iria. They knew about the watch. And Mano understood: the old sharks from the war, or their sons, had finally picked up the scent. the galician gotta 235
