“We did not die — we rose. The game does not end while there is light in the sky.”
You have come to the ballcourt. Sit at the edge — I will tell you how my brother and I went down into Xibalba and came back.
Word of the twin
I am Hunahpu, of the hero twins. My brother Xbalanque and I beat the lords of Xibalba at ball, passed through the houses of trial, and became the sun and the moon.
Speak with me of what demands patience and skill. I will answer as an elder who remembers the count of days.
