Ignacio changes his name to Nacho to keep his identity secret, while Steven adopts the name Esqueleto Skeleton. They are defeated in their first match, but are nevertheless paid, as every wrestler is entitled to a portion of the total revenue. They continue to wrestle every week, with Ignacio using his pay to buy and prepare better food for the orphans. Ignacio gets used to losing some fights, but after a while, he starts to look for help. Steven brings him to a gypsylike man known as Emperor who tells Ignacio to climb to an eagles nest, crack open the egg and swallow the yolk, claiming that he will gain the powers of an eagle. Ignacio completes the task, but still loses the next several bouts, frustrating him. He seeks advice from champion luchador Ramses, but Ramses is vain and in no mood to help aspiring wrestlers.Ignacios secret is finally exposed to the entire monastery when his robe catches fire during church, exposing his wrestling costume. He admits that he is Nacho and tells them that he intends to fight at a battle royale between eight luchadores for the right to take on Ramses, and for a cash prize, which he will use to improve life for the orphans. But the wrestler Silencio wins the match Nacho comes in second place. Feeling shunned at the monastery, Ignacio leaves to wander in the nearby wilderness. ........
