The Wise Men journeyed on through Madrid, unaware that King Mourinho's spies followed their every move. They decided to rest for the night within the city walls, as Barcelona was a long way away. Madrid was a holy city and was protected and watched over by a Holy Saint. The Angels Gabriel and Pavel enlisted the help of Madrid's patron saint to help to guide the wise men to the chosen one. The one who watched over the city was known as San Iker. He was a very watchful saint indeed. He knew his city like no other and was extremely generous to her citizens. Although the Wise men were not sons of Madrid, Zinedine had spent much time there in his youth and of course the chosen one hailed from Madrid too. So the Holy San Iker manifested himself in his wondrous earthly form and appeared to the three wise men. At first the sight of the stranger alarmed the wise men but San Iker simply smiled beatifically and explaine to them "I am the Holy San Iker, I have come to guide you to my fair city's favourite son." The three men understood right away due to their extreme wisdom and the saint explained that they must leave immediately in order to escape the attentions of the guards. They did as he told them and sure enough they were able to leave the city safely while the guards slept. Although he did not normally leave Madrid, the Holy Saint accompanied the wise men in order to pay tribute to the great gift that was to be given to the world. And so the wise men and San Iker arrived in Barcelona where the star led them to a humble stable behind the "Olimpico Inn." And sure enough there they found the chosen one, the boy who was to give the gift of beautiful football to the world.........Stay tuned for finale tomorrow!
