Bab 156: Chapter 96: The Coronation Ceremony: Song and Dance, Sacrifices, Light, and Blood_4

"The noble Osanto of the Otomi goes to the realm of the War God!" Quetzal chanted briefly, casually adding a name, without commentary.

This time, no cheers erupted. A cowardly Samurai was not worthy of praise. In the martial society of the Mexica, cowardice was the greatest sin.

The sacred sacrificial rites continued. Whether brave, calm, or crying, in the divine sacrifice, the outcome was already destined.

The sacrifice ceremony had to be presided over by a Priest capable of communicating with the divine, and such high-standard ceremonies even required the personal presence of the Chief Priesthood. Quetzal's actions were precise and swift, making him the most skilled at the task.
