Esteban and Zia befriend Tao and his pet parrot Kokapetl. Tao explains that he is the last of the Heva people – a great civilization that once existed on a continent that sank into the Pacific Ocean. Before the cataclysm, they hid their advanced knowledge within the Seven Cities of Gold on the mainland. When Mendoza and his men show up, Tao runs away with Zia and takes her to a hidden temple. There, Zia translates a message in a knotted string called a quipu which leads to events that releases the Solaris – a golden sailing vessel. Mini-Documentary: The Lost Kingdom of Hiva.
