I never forgot what that man said. I had never heard of a god who was sacrificed for the whole world and neither had any of our priests. They all said the same thing. "What god would sacrifice himself for someone he didn't even know?"
It all was very puzzling to me.
I finally dismissed those words as the crazed utterings of a man near death and went on enjoying life.
I went to war, fighting to conquer more lands for the emperor. I took many captives and was honored as a great warier. I moved to the Aztec capitol to be an adviser to the emperor. I got married and had a child, a little girl, but in her 6th year she was sacrificed for her blood, which was believed to bring good crops. All it brought me was heartache. Shortly after our daughter's death, my wife went crazy. One day she wondered off and was never seen again. I thought my life was over then. I had nothing to live for. The gods had failed me, The priests had failed me. What was left? Tears are splashing on the parchment even as I write this.
I had almost decided to end me misery when a messenger came to the court of Montezuma (the emperor at that time and my lifelong friend). He brought news of men in our kingdom. Strange men with fair hair and long beards,
Montezuma was fascinated and decided to leave at once to go see them. He told me I would be going with him. I told him I was too old for I had seen near 60 winters. He insisted and we left the next day.
