- I was born in the edge of anhilation, born to a civilization whose end was just knocking on the door when I first opened my eyes.Strange visitors where already sowing destruction and grief to my people when I first breast feeded. Our king was slaughtered the day I grabed an object for the first time. A horrible plague brought unknowingly by the invaders killed one third of our country while I learned how to crawl. The city I lived in was destroyed and our last king surrendered the day I learnt how to walk.

Such is the tale my mother told me. She was slayed for worshiping Tonantzin (mother god) instead of the Virgin Mary.
How tragic can my destiny be when my own roots where being violently pulled out and burned the same day I came upon this world?
What evil trick is fate bestowing upon me when i belong to the first generation that won´t learn their own language, eat their own food, conduct thier life like countless generations before us did or even worship their own gods?
I never had a chance to know my own heart.
I don´t even know my real name.
