Tahirza went out into the cold. He saw the captain Timotocuicas who with a gesture of concern saw the Woajuus putting his ear to the ground and looking everywhere, already frankly alert.
--The Woajuus say that there are many, perhaps thousands," --said Timotocuicas, even more worried.
Tahirza also scanned the horizon, wondering how it was possible that there was anyone who liked those green mountains, with that mist and air so cold that it got into his bones.
Until they all saw them coming up in droves. The Woajuus were ready and alert, ready to die for their queens.
Tahirza was amazed. Up the royal road towards their camp came thousands of Caribs, coming up at full speed, half-naked and armed to the teeth.
The queen's admiration increased when she saw Son of the Condor, with his naked torso and armed with a mace and spear, closing the way to the Caribs who were coming straight up to them. He was the restraint and the wall, nothing more was needed.
