We were in the ball court getting ready for the game. The round consisted of me and Felipe versus 6 people from the chief. Itzel came over to put on our chin pieces, hard leather gloves, belts, wooden yokes around our hips, and quilted cotton elbow pads and knee pads. "Alright," Itzel had said, "The object of the game is that you have to get the ball through one of the hoops without letting it touch your hands, feet, or calves. Use your elbows, knees, hips, and your head to strike the ball. Got it? Good now get ready." I finally understood the object of the game and Gukumatz wanted us to get ready for the ball game. "Ready?" he proclaimed,"BEGIN!" The game had started and the ball was very hollow and had a lot of bounce. I passed the ball to Felipe and he hit it with his hip and he made the score! We were winning the game until the people from the chief were getting better at this. We had lost the ball and we had to end up getting a new ball. Itzel gave us an armadillo. An armadillo? I thought. We used it so our score could go up and as it had bounced it was jumping to the hoop various times. It was so funny Mabel, Itzel, Felipe, Me, and everyone else was laughing. The game was over and we won against the 6 people in the other side of the court so the leader of the losing team had to be BEHEADED. Everyone else in that team is sacrificed. "THERE SHALL BE NO SACRIFICES!" I had yelled out. Everyone in the court cheered except for Gukumatz. He was very displeased with this idea so he had to end up preparing the ritual by himself.
