In the fifth year the sickness began, my children. First people fell sick with a cough. Then the blood was corrupted, and they were sick with yellow urine. Truly terrible was the dying in that time. Then Lord Vakaki Ahmak died. Great darkness and great night fell on our fathers and grandfathers, and on us too, my children, when the pestilence struck. On the day 1 Ah, one cycle and five years had passed since the Revolt, and the pestilence spread. That year the pestilence spread, and our grandfather Diego Juan died. On the day 5 Ah our grandfathers carried war to Panatacat, and then the sickness of the pestilence began to spread. Truly terrible was the death that came upon the people, and the people did not escape it. Forty [days] after the sickness began, our fathers and grandfathers died. On the day 14 Camey, King Hunyg, your grandfather, died. Only two days later our father died too, the counselor Balam, your grandfather, my children. Grandfathers and fathers died alike. Great was the stench; the people stank of death. When our fathers and grandfathers died, half the people fell into the ravines. Only dogs and vultures fed on the people. Terrible was the death that destroyed your grandfathers. The king’s son died together with his younger brother and his elder brother. So we were left in poverty, my children. We were small boys, and all of us were left. So our birthright was set aside. The counselor Balam was the name of the eldest son of King Hunyg. He was already honored before the lords when the great death of the pestilence came. Ahtzalam Hunahpu was the sixth son. He and our three fathers were saved from the pestilence. We were small then, all of us, when we were left, and we saw all the sickness, my children.
