Aztecs 10

By Pueros

Chapter 10 – Epiphany

(Florida, U.S.A., 6 January 2002, Epiphany according to the Christian calendar)

The two young friends, one 14 years old and one 13, were sat next to each other in front of the elder’s most expensive Christmas present, a brand new flat screen computer, with most of the trimmings. They were currently the men of their respective households as their fathers, also lifelong friends, had followed family traditions and had joined the armed forces. They were officers in the special services and were currently trying to track down Bin Laden in Afghanistan.

The pretty fair-haired blue-eyed young friends had completed their chores for the day, helping each other to take down the Christmas trees and decorations in their respective houses before deciding that it was time to play. They were alone, as the host’s mother and sister were out visiting and would not be back for several hours. The lads first surfed the internet, ending up as usual at sites that had sexy tales involving boys. The youngsters particularly liked eunuch.org, castration or at least genital endangerment turning them on, causing erections to develop inside their designer jeans.

The two young friends had especially appreciated ‘Aztecs’ by Pueros. They liked the blood and gore, but what had particularly intrigued them was the fact that the story’s heroes possessed physical and other attributes that matched their own. Both had wondered at first whether the author might somehow know them and had based the characters on them. However, the 14 years old had eventually dismissed the idea, suggesting coincidence instead, as he was sure that the writer must be British because of the way he spelt certain words, such as ‘colour’ rather than ‘color’, and they knew no Britons. The 13 years old agreed with this supposition.

It had been traditional in both boys’ families for generations to call their first sons by certain respective names. No-one really knew why or for precisely how long the practice had been followed. The lads did not mind carrying on the nomenclative custom. The younger was actually quite proud of his particularly strange name, which his friends invariably shortened. Their families had taken the precaution of giving the lads more common second names but neither elected to use them.

The two families had known and liked each other for as long as anyone could remember, occasionally inter-marrying. They were proud that their lineage appeared to go back hundreds of years to the original Spanish founders of their eastern Florida community. Ancestors had played major but unheralded roles in the development of their township and the eastern part of the peninsula, including encouraging its eventual purchase from Spain by the United States in 1819. Family members were also influential in securing statehood, as the 27th state, for Florida in 1845. They were against secession from the Union in 1861, having always been, for as long as anyone could remember, against slavery. However, their views were unpopular and many fled north for the duration of the Civil War, a number of the men joining the Union army, apparently starting the families’ proud military traditions, although that had actually occurred 340 years earlier.

All later returned to Florida to be of enormous help in post-war reconciliation and rebuilding, and were influential in seeing that the state was readmitted to the Union in 1868. Men of the family fought with distinction with Theodore Roosevelt’s ‘Rough Riders’ in Cuba in 1898, in the 1st and 2nd World Wars and in Korea and Vietnam, some sacrificing their lives for their country.

Having been thoroughly stimulated by chapter 9 of Aztecs, the two young friends decided to play their new game, re-enacting events described in an earlier episode. They tossed to see who would initially be the reincarnated sungod, masturbated by the evil High Priest before the man severed the boy’s genitals. Rope tied to bedposts had to substitute for the restraining hands of four Aztec priests. The boys had made rather neat erotically skimpy loincloths for the performance and a knife was at hand, although for sexual titillation by pressing against the supposedly endangered genitalia rather than actual use. The feel of the blade combined with their friend’s manual manipulations invariably quickly induced the desired climax to their play. The stimulating game, which had been filmed throughout using a digital camera placed on a tripod, was thoroughly enjoyed by both participants. It was as if the imminent threat of being unmanned ran excitedly in their blood.

Juan and Tezozo had been told by the High Priest what they were to suffer and were naturally already tearfully terrified when the four nullified acolytes arrived to cleanse them. However, the four boys were without their usual priestly supervisors. The impostor gods were released from their chains and quickly washed to remove the smelly dried urine from their bodies but not in readiness to go to their long lingering horrific fates. The euphoric lads were instead told of the eunuchs’ plan and were more than pleased to help.

The nullified foursome had decided, not unreasonably, that they did not want to have their hearts cut out at the summer solstice. They had mutually agreed to follow the former two reincarnated paramount deities in the Aztec pantheon in attempting to flee, despite the dangers and awful consequences of failure. However, they had also deemed it appropriate to take the recaptured false divinities with them. Despite the fact that the latter had floundered in their own first attempt, the eunuchs appreciated that the duo had been very unlucky, their bid for freedom showing bravery and guile, qualities the quartet needed to supplement its own effort.

The young nullified acolytes had, as usual, entertained their overseer priests sexually overnight, the men also enjoying much pulque in celebration of the evil ones’ imminent horrific demise. The eunuchs had encouraged the priests to over-indulge in the strong alcoholic beverage and, as a result, could reach the condemned boys’ cell at dawn without them, the men sleeping off acute hangovers.

Juan and Tezozo were swiftly dried and redressed in spare loincloths provided by the acolytes before the sextet set off to try to escape the temple via the rear entrance.

The two young friends cleaned up, redressed, hid away their loincloths and returned to the computer after their delicious erotic game. They later had to reappraise rapidly their attitude to the identity of the author of ‘Aztecs’ after reading chapter 10, with its summary of their secret and very intimate escapism.
