Devil's Bridge

Devil's Bridge

A long time ago, there was an Indian named Krk. He was twenty-four years old, witty and talented, and his neighbors liked him very much.

In his village also lived a lord who owned some of the property bestowed by the Inca king. In addition to a portion of the land, he also owned several cattle and hundreds of alpacas.

The lord had a daughter who was very beautiful, and it seemed that all the beauty in the world was concentrated on her. Her pure and charming face flashed with a pair of big eyes of affectionate Maimai, and under her long, crescent-like eyebrows, they were like two pearls. Because of these big eyes that captivate the soul, the people in the village call her Cheska.

Krk was fortunate enough to meet Cheska at a religious festival and fell in love with her at first sight. Therefore, Krk often went to Cheska's house on the pretext of listening to the lord talk about the heroic achievements of the old warriors and the command art of the chiefs.

The lord is a generous parent, but he may not be able to fully open up. After all, he still takes his daughter's lifelong happiness very seriously. Therefore, when Krk proposed to him to marry his daughter, he did not quite agree. Although Krk's honesty and affection for his daughter really touched him. But he was also worried that his daughter would suffer in the future with this young man who had almost nothing.

After Krk understood what the old lord meant, he said firmly and solemnly: "Lord, please give me a one-year period. During this period, I will use all my talents to provide my future wife with a satisfactory life guarantee for you to marry Chesca. If the deadline is reached, I will achieve nothing. For Chesca's happiness, I will reluctantly give up my love and persuade her to forget me and obey your arrangements."

"Good! This is a man with ambition!" Old Kuraka praised, "I hope my daughter Chase, Ka can have such a blessing! May the God of Velekcha bless you with your wish!" Then he patted Kirk on the shoulder.

Early the next morning, Krk left the village, and no one knew where he was going.

The young girl Chesca reached a tacit understanding with her beloved, ready to endure the pain of parting, and waited steadfastly for his return.

That same year, the Inca king Pozakutek toured the province where the lord was located. King Pozakutek rested for a week in Chesca's father's estate. The beautiful maiden Cheska was also received by the king.

The conqueror, who was all the rage from north to south, thought she could easily conquer the girl's heart, but she did not know that she had already put all her feelings on Krk. True love gave her the strength to refuse the courtship of the king of Megatron.

Finally, King Pozakutek sighed and said to her: "Don't worry, the gods will not let you submit to his will, your kirk will come back to you as promised, and the cloud of pain will never cover your heart again."

The Inca king's affection for Chesca made the girl famous. Many beautiful young men who did not give up came from far away, wanting to see her face and win her favor. Among those who pursued was the son of the chief of the tribe, a respected and powerful young man.

In the eyes of Chesca's parents, the king is certainly difficult to climb high, and the chief's son is otherwise qualified to be their son-in-law.

However, the old lord, like all Indians, kept his word, and he did not forget his promise to Krk. But the promise was not a natural obstacle to his refusal to propose. Because, he must think of his precious daughter, and he cannot miss this good opportunity to bring her the happiness he thinks she is.

Old Kuraka felt that he had to prepare both hands, so he neither agreed to the chief's son's proposal nor rejected his proposal. As for Krk, old Kuraka hoped that he would succeed, because that would also make Cheska truly happy. But he also realistically saw that Krk had little chance of success.

Therefore, when the chief personally condescended to discuss the marriage of his children with the old lord, the lord could only say to his boss: "Lord Chief, I believe you have heard about the temperament of the little girl, so before the deadline of my promise, I can't promise you anything, because you are also a person of great righteousness. If the young man breaks the appointment, then my daughter will give up, and then everything will naturally fall into place."

The chief naturally understood that his son could not be the same as the king, but he also believed that Krk had no chance of success. So the two old men agreed to actively prepare for the wedding. Krk broke the contract when it expired, and they would marry their children and relatives; Krk's successful return was a congratulatory gift for Cheska and Krk to hold a wedding ceremony.

Besides, Krk, after leaving his sweetheart and hometown, came to work in a salt mill on the coast of the Empire. By this time the sensational news had reached here, and Krk, inspired by the steadfastness of his sweetheart Cheska and the generosity of the king, worked harder and harder.

Due to his honest character and excellent command skills, as well as his extraordinary worship of the god Velekcha, he was quickly recommended to the prince by his superiors as a candidate for the new lord of the salt farm. The prince later learned that he was the Krk who had defeated the king. In order to commend and reward the faithful follower of the capable god Velekcha, to fulfill his legendary love with Chesca, and to fulfill the virtues of the king, Krk was awarded a lord who symbolized honor and status. There are quite a lot of gold and silver treasures, and he was given two months of vacation.

Originally, Krk was fully qualified to return to his beloved girl within the deadline. But people are not as good as the sky, and the continuous torrential rain often interrupts the road. Although Krk kept rushing the road day and night, never stopping, he arrived at the Yugara River with only a day before the deadline.

Days of torrential rain caused the Yugara River to rise to its limit, only swirling one after another, dragging down the rooting trees and drowned livestock without a trace.

The rain got heavier and heavier, and Krk's heart became more and more anxious. Finally, he had to beg the god Velekcha for help. Suddenly, he heard a voice saying, "Malek the devil will help you!"

Krk thought it was strange, but he had no other choice but to ask the devil for help. As soon as the thought flashed, the devil Marik appeared and said, "I can give you what you want, but when it's done, you must entrust your soul to me."

Krk asked Malik to build a bridge over the river immediately, and they agreed that it must be built before the rooster crowed. In this way, Malik can dominate Krk's soul. Otherwise, the agreement is void. After the devil and Krk agreed, they both bit their middle fingers and smeared their blood on a stone, swearing to the god Pachacamac.

Malik was very satisfied with the deal, and immediately set about building the bridge. Soon, the bridge will be built, and there is only one last stone left. But the devil can't move a single stone. In the end, he put a lot of effort to lift the stone onto the bridge, and just as he was about to put it down, the chicken crowed, the agreement was invalid, and the devil could not possess Krk's soul, but was blown to pieces.

At this point, Kirk realized that all this was just a means of Welekcha's ingenious plan to eliminate demons.

Krk finally rushed home at the last minute and married Chesca's lover.
