96. Then the king Ychal went forth, and a great number of
distinguished warriors went with the king. He was profound in
knowledge, and he left these words to his house: “Whether I return,
or whether I do not return, my death is at hand.” The king
departed, saying these words. When it was known that the king was
on the road, the people came to carry him on their shoulders. When
he heard them he said: “Look to your walls; look to your lime and
your war paint; be prepared and your arms at hand, that you appear
not cast down before the Zotzil Tukuches.” Thus he spoke to his
warriors, and they returned in midway to their houses and villages.
The chief came on the day 10th Noh.
