CHAPTER 10

I Have Studied Their Past

I REMOVED FROM MY MIND every worry, everything that was bothering me, and then picked up translating the story from where I left off. This time I wouldn’t stop until the end.

Here’s the rest of it.

Chicahtoc Tletl sat on the edge of a large, flat rock while the rest of the village kept their distance, talking to each other and staring up at him.

Finally Llacsa and the elder approached him. “Young one, how many warriors do we need?” the elder asked.

Llacsa quickly translated, and Chicahtoc replied, “While you encourage your villagers to produce more children, I can go and look for more warriors from other tribes. I will explore far beyond these regions.”

“The land is much larger than you might believe,” the elder said. “It takes more than one lifetime to reach the edges. There are other villages out there, other tribes, many of which speak different tongues, and you might not be able to communicate with them.”

“I’m sure the white demons have already reached other villages and captured other people, and have done to them what they have done to the people here,” Chicahtoc said. “I’ll find another translator out there, and I will find warriors.”

“You’re just a boy,” the elder said.

“And I’ve survived!” he responded. Llacsa hesitantly translated.

“Right before my eyes, my people were killed and many of the children were raped. And I have killed a white demon!”

The elder reached out and placed his hands on Chicahtoc’s shoulders. “You’re brave, and you are a warrior, but if your father is a white demon, then why do you side with us and not with them?”

After Llacsa translated, Chicahtoc looked into the elder’s eyes and replied, “The white demons are not my people. You are my people!”
