Summary No one in Machu-Pichu knows where the City of Gold is. Tao finds a blazon, engraved in a stone, representing the sun, at the bottom of a well, but no one knows what it means except perhaps Mayucca, an old man who knows a multitude of the Inca legends. The children set of to find him, hoping that he will also be able to tell them something about Esteban's father. Mayucca tells them a story: Twelve or thirteen years ago, a man who came by boat over the great ocean to the west, is said to have had a child by a young Inca girl, who was a vestal, one of the servants of the Sun God. The sun, in anger, threatened to plunge the land into darkness. Terrified, the Incas offered the young girl as a sacrifice, then they built a boat and set the man and his child adrift on the great ocean to the west. Before leaving, the man is supposed to have said, "In the place where Inti, the God of the Sun and Koyolite, the brilliant star meet, there will be born again the sacred blazon of the sun." "That is the place represented by the sculptures that you saw" says Mucca, thus ending his story. The old Inca adds that he does not know if the story is true or just a legend. Zia decides that she prefers it is a legend as this would mean that there is still hope of finding Esteban's parents alive. Back again at the old Peak, Tao manages to work out the significance of the blazon on the stone with the help of his ancestors' book. In addition he makes some calculations which lead him to the conclusion that from where they are now, he can find the City of Gold.
