Chapter 3 - Selection

(Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire, July 1520)

The journey to Tenochtitlan took several weeks. During the long march, Tezozo and the other prisoners of war were not unduly mistreated by their captors, who regarded them as they would prize cattle on the way to market. However, with their hands bound behind their backs, the captives had to drink and eat like cattle from the dishes of water and porridge presented to them once a day, although their hands were untied at dusk to enable them, one by one, to toilet and wash. The males of Tezozo's people were accustomed on occasion to wearing only small loincloths but public nudity was considered shameful, being confined to those suffering the severest of punishments. All of the prisoners, including Tezozo, were therefore thoroughly humiliated at having to perform some of their natural bodily functions and cleansing in front of their comrades and the watching guards. Some of the latter had to exhibit great discipline to prevent themselves from raping the 13 years old beauty, although the restraint of the would-be-rapists was fortified by the knowledge that their commander would have them executed, in a very horrible manner, for damaging such precious goods.

All of the captives were amazed at the sight of the Aztec capital, which they reached late one afternoon, for their own small town could bear no comparison. The huge crowded city, with its many beautiful lakes and waterways, magnificent buildings and skyline dominated by stepped pyramids, was like another world to the astonished Tezozo and fellow prisoners. Some now thought that their captors must truly be representatives of a mighty irresistible race which had the favour of the gods. A lot of passers-by stopped to watch the line of fresh males, destined either for sale in the metropolis' slave-market or use on its many sacred altars. All admired the unusual looks of the fair-skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy, attired in just his skimpy, and now rather dishevelled, blue loincloth.

The prisoners were taken across a causeway to a huge, heavily fortified and guarded stockade located on an island in the middle of one of the lakes, populated by crocodiles through human design. It was the transit centre for fresh slave stock and temporarily housed hundreds of men, women and children until they were scrutinised by priests. Those selected for ceremonial honours would be led away to one of the capital's many temples whilst the remainder would proceed to market. The captives were split, by age and gender, into groups which were confined in separate smaller enclosures, where they sat with hands tied behind them to stakes firmly embedded in the ground. There was no shelter in the stockade and the ground could sometimes become quite muddy during the occasional mid-year storms. The facility was not used in winter as the Aztecs generally conducted their Imperial expansion only in the summer months.

Tezozo found himself bound to a stake in an enclosure shared with about 200 other boys, from several different vanquished peoples and whose ages ranged from four to sixteen. Some had been here for a few days. Tezozo had been allowed to toilet in a hole in the ground and wash himself with water from one of several tubs placed around the enclosure before being tied and given some water and porridge, which he had to consume as if he was a dog. Gradually darkness came and Tezozo fell asleep, despite the coolness that descended, for he was now accustomed to spending nights in such demeaning and uncomfortable circumstances.

Tezozo woke at first light. As was now usual, his body was stiff from the awkward posture that he had had to adopt in order to gain his rest and he manoeuvred his limbs as best he could to eliminate the cramps. The boy wanted to urinate but was determined not to soil himself and therefore hoped that he would soon be released to use the hole in the ground. Fortunately, the guards complied as they unbound the boys individually for their dawn toilet and ablutions. However, no food would be wasted on the young prisoners as the High Priest himself would be visiting today, alerted by a report of a fair-skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy captive. His appearance with accomplices should result in the emptying of the enclosure as the lads were moved on to face their destinies.

The High Priest, dressed in his distinctive garb, arrived with an entourage mid-morning, by which time Tezozo was very warm and thirsty, the temperature having soared in the hot sun. Whilst other priests inspected the rest of the young male stock, the High Priest, accompanied by four handsome boy acolytes attired in tiny red loincloths with small gold sunbursts embroidered on both flaps, was guided to Tezozo by the guard commander, who untied the lad from the stake and, because their languages were different, signalled to the youngster to stand. The commander then shocked and humiliated Tezozo, whose hands were still bound behind him, by removing the boy's tattered loincloth. The High Priest carefully appraised the beautiful form presented before him, walking slowly round the delicious young nude. He stopped half-way and gently forced the boy to bend over, with his legs apart, so that a check could be made of the lad's anal virginity. When the High Priest returned to the boy's front, he smiled as he observed that his intimate attentions to the lads' pink sphincter, combined with his close visual examination, had caused the youngster to become aroused. However, the expressions on the faces of the four acolytes, one aged 12, one 13 and the other two 14, were of sadness for they had been reminded that they were incapable of such a feat. In fact, their undercloths displayed no bulges at all for their genitalia had been presented to the previous incarnated sungod at the vernal equinox so that they would be ready to be the servants of his successor. They knew that their hearts would be the next organs to be removed from their bodies, on the next midsummer's day, so that they could follow their sacred master to serve him in the afterworld. They would first place the sungod's seed and organs in the container of snow in the main pyramid before proceeding to the adjacent temple, the largest and most important in the city, for the rite to be performed on the plinth before the sacred altar.

Tezozo blushed in shame when he too noticed his excitement. His face turned even redder when the High Priest delicately gripped the 13 years old penis between his right thumb and forefinger and began to rub. Tezozo was desperate for sexual relief as he had been unable to masturbate, his favourite pastime, since he had been captured. He far preferred this form of release to having sex with his young wife because he did not particularly like girls. He preferred boys of his own age and he and his best friend had frequently played with each other's cocks. The High Priest's ministrations therefore brought quick reward and a convulsing Tezozo soon impregnated the ground of the enclosure with copious amounts of overdue white liquid.

Having satisfied himself that the boy could produce semen, the High Priest again surprised Tezozo by kneeling before the naked lad and uttering a loud invocation, incomprehensible to the shamed youngster, and then placing his forehead on the ground. He was followed in these actions by the four acolytes, the guard commander and the other priests, the latter having gathered round after hearing their leader's pronouncement. After they had all regained their feet, one of the acolytes stepped forward. He had been holding a bag of red cloth emblazoned with the gold sunburst emblem. He extracted from within a white loincloth, of the finest material and marked with a similar but larger symbol, and handed it to the High Priest, who redressed the newly reincarnated sungod in the sparse attire. Two of the acolytes then held Tezozo gently by the arms and escorted him out of the stockade, accompanied by their two companions and the High Priest. The other priests, who remained behind to select sacrificial victims for certain imminent ceremonies, bowed as the sungod passed them, as did the guards and the many people the small party encountered on the way to the main temple. However, this new respect for the bewildered young captive did not extend to untying his hands.
