Shiro tries to return to himself but he still must not have remembered what he must. Deciding to go explore the village in hopes of remembering he leaves the cave and carefully goes to the river below. He sees a small girl she is different from the others she resembles himself as a human. She speaks in the same tongue as the priest and since he is in this form unable to speak he just sits close by to observe everyone. Shiro sees Cixi talking to a woman , she looks angry with her. Slipping into the underbrush where no one can see him he listens to them argue.
"I told you to stay away from him. Itzamna is mine and no one else's. He is not to be dirtied by you trying to mate with him. If I catch you one more time no one will find you." Cixi pulls the woman by the hair dragging her across to a pit in the ground. Throwing her inside Cixi causes the ground to shake with her anger. The villagers fall to the ground on their knees with their faces in the dirt.
