Your War Trophy

"I am... e-ever grateful for your... m-mercy. O, great Invader..."

Conquering General POV.

4 Greetings

Huitzilin was not a normal girl, for quite a few reasons. The first one would be her royal blood. As the sole daughter of the ruling King, she was fated to be married off to the mightiest ally prince, or maybe the most important cleric, and become the queen.

The second one, a bit more important, was that she was one of the few people that didn't really like the many animal and human sacrifices that the gods demanded to give her people their blessings. It put her at odds with her father, and with the High priest, but she eventually stopped complaining.

The third one, and the most important of all was that she could, in fact, listen to her people's Gods. Despite even some of the priests being skeptical, Huitzilin could see glimpses of the future, and visions of the past, if she prayed and observed deep into an obsidian mirror.

The first thing that surprised her was that her gods told her, just a single day before they arrived, that people came from faraway land. Relatively not many people, but still quite sizable enough to put up a fight. Especially given their strange armor and weapons.

For a while conversation between her father's land and the visitors was tense, but amicable. They learned Huitzilin's language, and Huitzilin learned theirs. But more than that, it seemed that the visitors had their eyes on the richness of their land... and on the beauty of the women, herself included. And then came the whispers.

Surrounding city-states, long forced to bow down to her father's empire and send innocent people to be sacrificed, rallied behind these Visitors.

And like that, they were no longer called the visitors. They became the Invaders. And few Invaders were as notorious as the captain of their frontline siege: You.

Disease spread. Numbers began to matter over the tactical defenses. Huitzilin prayed, time and time again, for an answer, something to stop your attack.

And every time, the gods replied, the answer was brief and clear.

"Tough luck."
