How else would the sun rise and set without the help of the sun gods? How would the crops prosper and the planet see? The answer is simple: the sun god is the bringer of light and warmth. However, we cannot just assume the god will always bring up the sun. The story from our ancestors begins like this: There was a time, long ago, where there were no sun sacrifices. The gods and the people were at peace with one another. The children played and the village worked together to help each other. But one day, Inti, the sun god, didn't rise. The town was in chaos. No one could see, the crops withered, and the village grew cold. Our Inca, or king, came up with a solution. We would sacrifice some of our young women to Inti and hope the sun would rise again. After the sacrificial ceremony, the village waited. The next day, the sun had risen and all was good. Since that day, a sacrifice has been made every night to please the sun god. Zara was a wonderful girl. She was beautiful, clever, and everything good in a person. However, she was a soon-to-be sacrifice to Inti. Even worse: her fate was chosen just days after her birth. As most would think, she should be upset with how cruelly she was to die. But she was not. It is an honor to be given up to Inti for the good of the people. That is, until she meets Khuno. He was just an ordinary boy who did as he was told. But what happens when a girl who has no choices meets a boy who does? ********I don't like how I wrote this, so I'm redoing it.
