Leyendas de mi tierra: La Cantuta Tricolor - Parte 1

Introducción a los Soberanos

• En las tierras del norte, gobernaba el noble Champú, conocido por su riqueza y ejércitos invencibles. Tenía un hijo llamado Astro Rojo, quien nació bajo una estrella roja.

• Astro Rojo era querido por todos debido a sus cualidades y logros militares a pesar de su corta edad. Había liderado exitosamente las tropas de su padre.

El Rey del Sur

• En el sur, dominaba un rey llamado Nyman, casi tan poderoso como Champú. Su ejército también era famoso por triunfos en los fértiles valles de los Yungas.

• Nyman tenía un hijo llamado Rayo de Oro, nacido bajo una estrella dorada que crecía con él. A diferencia de Astro Rojo, Rayo de Oro se dedicó al comercio y la caridad.

Las Estrellas y la Prosperidad

• Ambos príncipes nacieron bajo augurios estelares que eran observados por adivinos imperiales. La prosperidad de sus reinos se reflejaba en el brillo creciente de sus respectivas estrellas.

• Con cada victoria militar o progreso económico, las estrellas brillaban más intensamente, simbolizando la fortuna y poder de ambos soberanos.

Envidia y Ambición

• Con el tiempo, surgió envidias entre Champú y Nyman debido al crecimiento paralelo de sus imperios. Cada uno deseaba eclipsar al otro.

• Esta rivalidad llevó a ambos reyes a buscar formas para disminuir el brillo del astro rival; la ambición comenzó a nublar su juicio.

Consejos Mortales

• Champú consultó a sus consejeros sobre cómo destruir la estrella rival. Los sabios le recordaron que no podían afectar astros elevados directamente.

• Un yatiri sugirió que podrían apagar la estrella destruyendo al hombre afortunado cuya vida representaba dicha luz; esto encendió el plan oscuro en Champú.

Parte 2: Odio a Muerte

Cambio en los Imperios

• La paz se transformó en guerra; los habitantes dejaron atrás la agricultura y música para enfocarse en fabricar armas destructivas.

• Se promovió el odio mortal entre pueblos antes pacíficos; ya no había amor ni deseo del bien común, solo preparación para la guerra.

Battle of the Kings

Prelude to Battle

• The German extermination and sovereign control over southern lands led to a rivalry, prompting both kings to prepare for war. Each side mobilized their formidable armies under their respective leaders.

The Day of Battle

• On the day of battle, both armies camped close together on a vast plain at the border of their territories. The northern king was eager to demonstrate his army's superiority.

Initial Combat Engagement

• The northern king hastily arranged his troops for battle, launching an attack with skilled archers who unleashed thousands of poisoned arrows. The opposing forces quickly retaliated with stones from slingshots, escalating into widespread combat.

Escalation and Climax

• As fighting intensified throughout the day without a clear victor, one king decided to commit all his best troops in a final push against the enemy's center, leading to fierce clashes between rival princes.

Turning Point in Battle

• In a dramatic moment, one prince skillfully used his sling to strike down the opposing king, causing confusion among northern troops as they began to retreat while others rushed to aid their fallen leader. This shift sparked victory cries from the southern warriors.

Fatal Consequences

• Despite being gravely injured, the fallen king managed to shoot an arrow that struck down his victorious opponent, altering the course of battle once again and demoralizing both armies after hours of relentless fighting. They ultimately chose to suspend combat in order to assist their wounded leaders.

Aftermath and Reflection

Return Home

• Both armies returned home amidst heavy casualties; many lives were lost due to prideful conflicts driven by vanity rather than necessity. The battlefield was left littered with bodies as soldiers mourned their fallen comrades who died for trivial reasons.

Grief in Capital City

• Upon returning with their dying monarch, news spread through the capital city causing widespread sorrow among citizens who lamented for their loved ones and feared for their rulers' lives as they gathered around the royal palace in grief.

Final Moments of Leadership

• In his last moments, the dying king summoned his son and successor but failed to impart wisdom or remorse about past decisions that led them into conflict over trivial matters like pride and ambition instead of focusing on peace and prosperity for their empire.

A Son’s Plea

• The heir expressed deep sorrow towards his father’s choices that disrupted peace within the empire merely out of vanity; he questioned why such sacrifices were made when it only served personal pride rather than any noble cause or benefit for their people.

Legacy of Vengeance

• As death approached him, the king urged his son not only to avenge this humiliation but also warned him about carrying forward this burden which stemmed from arrogance—highlighting how pride can lead nations into ruinous paths if unchecked by reason or compassion.

The Tragic Cycle of War and Duty

The Burden of Legacy

• The dialogue reveals a conflict between duty and personal fear, as the son grapples with his father's curse while vowing to restore peace through conquest.

• Illampu, torn between his conscience and filial duty, swears to fulfill his father's wishes, indicating the heavy burden of legacy on the next generation.

• Both empires are depicted as entrapped in a cycle of vengeance, where rational thoughts are overshadowed by a desire for bloodshed instilled by their dying rulers.

The Onset of War

• The narrative highlights how both sovereigns prepare their armies for war, driven by hatred and a sense of obligation rather than genuine need for conflict.

• As preparations intensify, the true needs of the people are neglected in favor of military endeavors that promise destruction instead of prosperity.

The Battle Unfolds

Consequences and Reflection

• In an unexpected moment during battle, two young princes fatally wound each other but choose forgiveness over vengeance in their final moments.

A Divine Intervention

• As they embrace in death, an extraordinary event occurs: Pachamama emerges from the earth to address the consequences wrought by their parents' prideful wars.

• She reveals that she will punish their fathers’ arrogance while symbolically dimming stars representing royal power—an allegory for lost glory due to senseless conflict.

The Fall of Stars and the Birth of a New People

The Descent of the Stars

• Two stars tremble in the sky, appearing to detach from the firmament before plummeting to Earth, resulting in a catastrophic explosion as they land on their respective capitals.

• Pachamama addresses innocent children, lamenting that they should not have served their parents' criminal ambitions; she prophesizes that after death, they will symbolize a new people under red and gold stars.

Symbolism of Colors

• The new people's flag will feature red and yellow combined with green, representing love and fraternity; however, rivalries threaten to divide them just as they did before.

• Both young monarchs die simultaneously, their bodies entwined in an embrace made stronger by death; they are buried together without separation.

Reconciliation Through Nature

• Amidst the ruins of bloodied earth, a flower symbolizing reconciliation emerges over time; despite desolation, mountains continue to rise high above as if competing against each other.

• The mountains weep for their past sins until their tears nourish the land where the two princes rest; this miracle leads to life returning to the barren ground.

Emergence of New Life

• With spring's arrival, a green plant grows from the legendary tomb adorned with red calyxes reflecting colors from fallen stars. This tricolor symbolizes hope and unity for centuries to come.
