Aztec Eternals

v1 Chapter 862: First sight of the Kumeya

"In the beginning, the world was a sea, full of salty sea water (Pa\'pa), and nothing..." Cool

"The great **** of the sky and the **** of the sea were conceived together in the sea, and they were brothers of the same egg... They both closed their eyes and floated to the surface of the sea. The **** of the sea opened his eyes and took a look. The sea blinded him, and he sank into the sea. The bottom of the sea. God opened his eyes, took a look, and the sky let him see, and he ascended into the sky (Kukate)..."

"Then, God created red ants, and the ants filled the original red earth (Súja) with their bodies on the sea. God also created black eagles (Qawi), but without light, they I couldn't see, lost my way, so I kept flying in the sky, and couldn't find a place to live..."

"Thinking, God made a disc out of red, yellow, and black clay, threw it far into the sky, and it became the moon (Kaa'ip), so there was light...but the moon was too dark, and He Then he made another bright one, threw it again, and became the sun (Makwáy)...and before he ascended to the sky, he made a man and a woman out of the offcuts of the sun and the moon. That is the Kumeya Taa', the sun and moon in the hands of the gods!  …”

On the red coast, in the evening when the sun and the moon shine together, the Kumeya priests of the Ipa Department shake their wooden rattles and sing ancient vicissitudes songs. They wore black eagle-feather crowns, red, yellow and black cloth robes, and agave straw sandals on their feet. Around their necks are necklaces of shells and pearls. On the inside of the bridge of their noses, there are buffalo bone ornaments, which are pierced and worn, and it hurts to look at them.

Eagle feathers, cotton cloth, agave, shell pearls, bison bones... These are the "currency" cherished by the Kumeya people, implying their daily life of half hunting and half farming. And the costumes with these decorations are the most solemn costumes of the priests in the tribe, symbolizing the tribal traditions for thousands of years!

"The gods bestowed generosity, turning the deceased ancestors into the wind, blowing to the distant world...from the continuous mountains in the north, to the barren desert in the east, to the endless wasteland in the south...wherever the wind blows, there are common ancestors! . . . "

Matutumbe, the chief of the Red Stone, wore a crown of eagle feathers and danced the war dance of the tribal meeting. His cloth robe flies like wings, and he is as agile as a mountain eagle, flying over the two fish. Then, he stopped, came to the knowledgeable Mickey, tilted his head, and looked at the uninvited "shark" in front of him. cool

"Drawing a long boat, tribes from the sea! The violent sea **** is sleeping on the bottom of the sea, while the majestic **** of heaven is watching us. Have the winds of our ancestors ever blended? Are you looking for the wind? Footsteps, come with good intentions?..."

Facing the question of the Redstone Chief, Mickey the Knowledgeable was silent for a long time. From the other party's words, he heard many specious Nahua words, as if they really foreshadowed some kind of common origin.

But when he looked at the Kumeya people, looked at their peculiar tattoos, costumes and weapons, and listened to the tribal myths sung by the other party... he also clearly understood the difference between the two sides. He still can't understand each other, but he can try to communicate...

"Lord God bless! Dear tribal chiefs, we are the descendants of the glue people, your brothers in the far south!... We come with goodwill, with a new wind that has never been seen in the south, and we want to spread it in the far north. New life!..."

Saying so, Mickey the Knowledgeable took out a cloth bag full of gems and handed it to Chief Redstone.

"Friends, brothers! ... This is our gift!"

Chief Redstone took the bag, opened it and looked at it, his eyes changed. He pondered for a moment, but put the cloth bag on the ground, and said in a deep voice. cool

"You guys, gave a gift. You guys, are friends! But brothers...have blood and vows!"

As he spoke, Chief Redstone took out a flint dagger and handed it to Mickey the Knowledgeable. He looked serious and spoke simple and clear words.

"The **** of the sky and the **** of the sea...are brothers...and the oath...is a bleeding eye!"

"Brother's oath...Bleeding eyes? Huh?!"

Hearing the stammered words from the translator, Mickey the Great Knower shuddered. He took the dagger tremblingly, hesitated for a long time in his heart, and then resolutely recited the name of the main **** silently, and aimed the dagger at his eyes!

"Lord God! For your glory, spread the word in the north...for the fleet of the kingdom, make a covenant with the Kumeya people...I will offer my left eye devoutly to you!..."

Mickey the Knowledgeable prayed tremblingly, mustered up his courage, and finally made a move. Chief Redstone shouted, interrupting him. cool

"Brother's oath, eyes of blood!"

The knowledgeable Mickey looked over after hearing the reputation, but saw that Chief Redstone had swung his dagger and carved a bleeding eye on his arm. Then, with a serious face, the strong chief held out his arms to Mickey, waiting patiently.

"Arms, eyes! Stick together!"

"Huh? Carved eyes on the arm?"

The well-informed Mickey was startled, and then suddenly understood. With ecstasy in his heart, he glared at the unreliable translator again, and decisively swung the stone dagger, carving out the same **** eye. Then, the two arms were pressed together, the **** eyes overlapped, and the blood fused together!

Seeing this scene ~lightnovelpub.net~ the Kumeya fighters who were watching around burst into deafening cheers in an instant! They held up the stone spears in their hands, stepped down heavily, and danced like a galloping bison. The tribal priests also beat their skin drums and sang celebratory songs. And the crowd on the shore shouted and celebrated until they shouted the same thunderous voice!

"Sile! Ku\'up! Sile! Ku\'up!..." Cool

This is the kingdom's exploration fleet, the first meeting with the Kumeya. From the imminent fight, to the meeting of the two leaders, to the engraving of the oath of blood eyes, and a grand welcome dinner!

Even after several months, the exploration leader Zuvaro still deeply remembers that scene, remembering the two people shaking hands and holding high on the beach on the coast! Of course, what made him even more unforgettable was the warm and unrestrained welcome from the coastal tribes after that dinner...

The bonfire is lit, and the singing of night sounds on the beach, like the intermittent chirping of insects in summer. And he was on the night beach, holding the young Kumeya woman in his arms. He still remembered the deep cry in his heart, and tentatively said to the woman.

"Sile?"

"ha?"

The young woman was stunned, and suddenly laughed out loud. She shook her head, pointed at the man, then at herself, and replied.

"Silem, no. Yukul, yes." Cool

"Silem...man and man? Brother? Yukur...man and woman? Husband and wife?..."

The exploration captain Zuwaro pondered for a moment, thoughtful. Afterwards, he tried again, looked into the pure eyes of the woman, and said.

"Kupra?..."

This time, the woman understood. She bent over laughing, like a tidal wave engulfing Zuwaro. Then Zuwaro got it too. It turns out that the meaning of "Kupra" is called "combination".
