The fight lasted thirteen minutes. I won’t lie—I took a gash to the ribs. But I carved a nahui (four) into each of their foreheads. The number of balance. The number of destruction and rebirth.

“No,” I said. “I am a fox who remembers the old songs.”

Three nights ago, they took a child from La Merced market. Not for ransom. For sacrifice. Someone is trying to restart the New Fire Ceremony, but twisted. Instead of lighting a new sun, they want to extinguish this one.
