The elder placed a hand on Agustin's shoulder. "Then may the spirits guide you and protect you on your path. You have a noble heart, Agustin. I believe you will succeed."

As Agustin prepared to continue his journey, Elena approached him. "Agustin, I want to come with you."

Agustin looked at her, surprised. "Elena, this journey is dangerous. Are you sure?"

Elena nodded firmly. "I know the risks, but I also know I can help. I have knowledge of the Otomi language and their customs. I can be your guide and translator."

Agustin considered her offer. He knew having someone with her skills could be invaluable, and her determination mirrored his own. "Alright, Elena. Let's do this together."

With renewed determination and the support of the villagers, Agustin and Elena set out on their journey. The encounter with Elena and her family had
