ACT II
The Spanish camp.
The Aztec warrior Cuitlahuac stood before Hernan, leader of the Spanish. Already the Aztec was devising a plan to defeat the Spaniard, the so-called invulnerable conquistador. Still, diplomacy was where it all began. Cuitlahuac was not one who liked diplomacy, neither was Hernan but still it was always where things began and so here they were talking.
"My ruler and the other two Indian leaders would like to live in peace with the you and your people." Said Cuitlahuac.
"I would like that too." Said Hernan. "However I came here on an expedition for gold to bring back to Spain and will die before I go back empty handed! You central Indians have gold, the northern Indians such as the Navajo do not therefore they do not interest me and the only one of you people willing to hand it over would be the Mayan leader Kan after I made a kind offer to him."
"What offer would that be?" asked Cuitlahuac.
"My sister as his wife." Replied Hernan.
"His reply?"
"He wants to meet her first before making his decision." Stated Hernan. "Thus he I have sent a ship back to Spain to bring my sister."
"Will it work?" asked Cuitlahuac.
"I hope so." Replied Hernan. "The Maya are the most formidable people on this continent. I would not with to fight them."
