The saga opens with Naibe, raised by his grandmother beneath the Ceiba’s branches, who taught him the balance of roots and wings. As a young man, he discovers ancestral fire powers and the gift of foresight. Gabriela is first shown in nature among animals, reflecting her instinct to protect life and her harmony with the land. When chaos erupts in San Salvador’s marketplace and the Jaguar of Xibalba bursts forth, Naibe answers with fire, but it is Gabriela who prevails: lifting a sewage cover to shield civilians, she subdues the beast with mercy instead of force, binding the Jaguar spirit into the shield. Guided afterward by the riddles of Cipitío and shadowed by the twin Cadejos - the white urging mercy, the black whispering temptation - the two descend into the underworld tunnels of San Andrés, beneath the Ceiba roots. There, Gabriela recovers a stick carved with Mayan symbols and names her shield the Escudo del Jaguar Eterno. The ancestral leader Francisco Morazán appears, entrusting Naibe with the sword Fuego del Pueblo and its sheath, La Voz Colectiva. Soon after, La Mara Sombra arrive with the ghostly Carreta Chillona, from whose smoke La Dama Oscura emerges to test them with illusions of power and despair. By resisting her manipulations, Naibe and Gabriela prove their strength of spirit. Morazán reappears to affirm their choices, entitling them El Visionario and La Guardiana. The issue closes with foreshadowing: the white Cadejo rests while the black retreats with the Shadows, and Los Hermanos are glimpsed preparing as La Mara Sombra gathers strength. | The saga opens with Naibe, raised by his grandmother beneath the Ceiba’s branches, who taught him the balance of roots and wings.
