Hide the bodies of course, if they were discovered we would not get a quarter of the way to Tollan, he was very calm, so I left the thinking to him, my head was going around and around in a daze, I still couldn’t believe that I had survived capture, so I followed and did as he wanted, we dug a deep grave in the sandy bottom of the gully deep enough to stop any animals uncovering our secret until we were long gone on our journey, he rolled the first body in and began to push the second warrior into the hole, I was horrified and rushed to stop him, the headdresses alone, even without their weapons were worth a fortune, I was not about to bury such trophies so I jumped into the hole and stripped what I thought I could comfortably carry, I then stripped the second body, the spoils made quite a nice pile, two Quetzal feathered headdresses, two Jaguar skin cloaks, one obsidian knife and two swords tipped along the edges with obsidian and inlaid with lapis lazuli, sandals and leggings of fine deer skin, a spear, two bows with nine arrows in each finely decorated quiver, the bearded one looked at me and slowly shook his head from side to side, then went back to the task of burying the Mixteca, after putting the second warrior in the hole he continued filling in the grave, I laid one of the cloaks out and began to bundle up the treasures, I offered one of the swords to the hairy one but instead he chose a small obsidian knife and put it in the cord he wore around his waist, I completed the bundle and with no small effort hoisted it onto my back, I then helped to wipe away any signs of what had happened here, we spent the rest of the day under a heap of brush further down the gully, the hairy one went to sleep as soon as he lay down, I was far too excited to sleep, I had to know more about my bearded companion, awed by his fighting skills, but impressed more by his quiet demeanour and air of confidence, what wonderful good fortune, finding this white warrior was indeed the work of the gods, I was wondering what the people would think of my new friend when I got back to Tollan, with that thought I fell into a deep and satisfying sleep suddenly I came instantly awake, the hairy one had a hand over my mouth, voices came down the gully, I listened, then relaxed, this was not a search party, they were discussing the ball game they had just come from and were making their way home, as the enemy moved on the voices faded away, the hairy one took his hand from my mouth and I put my finger to my mouth, he understood and relaxed, it was quite late in the afternoon and we only had a short time to wait before continuing our journey to the west and home, the bundle on my back got heavier and heavier with each step and we still had two hard nights travel before we were on Toltec land


    47. Half way through the night, I was not so sure my bundle was worth the trouble, my shoulder where the strap had rubbed was beginning to bleed and I breathed a sigh of relief when the hairy one stopped to drink and eat the food he had taken from the two warriors, he had food, I had trophies, I had a lot to learn from this strange ally, after sharing the food, my moon skinned friend picked up my bundle and effortlessly threw it on to his shoulder, we marched on through the rest of the night and as the false dawn shed its light, we began to scout around for, hopefully, our last hideaway in enemy country, the day passed without incident and when evening came we again set off to the east and in the false dawn as I scanned the horizon looking for a glimpse of the Hill of Setvic my hairy companion began to scout around for a place to stay, the land had sloped for the last two nights and we followed the incline and eventually reached the plateau, two nights later before we lay down to rest I thought the lie of the ground had a familiar look to it, the next evening before the sun went down I looked around and my heart leapt, the Hill of Setvic was there in the distance, tomorrow we would be on Toltec land, but we were not safe yet we had to survive the night, oh, what a cruel fate if we were to fail with the prize in sight, that night I was followed by demons, jumping in alarm at every noise, every animal call, when the morning star appeared I dropped to the ground, totally overcome by the sight of the outline of the Hill of Setvic in the near distance, a sight I never thought I would see again, my friend, misunderstanding, rushed up and stood astride me, his shiny sticks in his hands, I started to laugh and laugh, uncontrollably; he bent and shook me, I leapt up and hugged him whirling around and around, he put his hand over my mouth, the terror and permanent vigilance of the last few weeks seemed to roll from my back like a worn tattered cloak, I stopped my antics and tried with signs to make him understand that we were safe, not knowing if he understood or not, I walked towards home and he followed
