There he reunites with his long-estranged mother, a member of an indigenous tribe of Indians living deep in the tropical rainforest. Mistaken for the ghost of his deceased twin brother, the narrator takes his brother's place in tribal society, learning to hunt and fight but never escaping the memory of his former life in the city.
