The moon rises in the east, and the bonfire shines. Priest Tomate holds the scripture high, gazing at the clan leader of the Kokom Family, the young Serpent Divine Descendant Ti'aj Kin. The devoted priest's heart is as hard as stone, viewing faith as the foundation of everything. If the opposing Maya chieftain refuses, he will lose the hard-earned opportunity.
"Ah! Abandon the Heavenly Serpent Divine and completely convert to the Chief Divine?"
Upon hearing his uncle Tikalo's translation, Ti'aj Kin's forehead sweats. Such a condition is an unacceptable price for any Maya Divine Descendant. Generations of ancestors have worshiped the Heavenly Serpent Divine, the family has prided itself on being the most revered Serpent Divine Descendant, passed down for a thousand years... Is he to convert to the Mexica Chief Divine of the Highlands today?
"I?... How could this be?... "
"Promise him! Ti'aj Kin, my nephew, the last sun of Mayapan!"
