Jaguar House

NEXT they entered into Jaguar House, which was crowded inside with jaguars:

“Do not eat us. We will give you what is yours,” the jaguars were told.

Then they scattered bones before the beasts, who voraciously crunched them.

The hearts of the night watchmen found this sweet, saying, “They are finished.
They have given themselves up. They have eaten their hearts, and now these are their
skeletons that are being gnawed upon.”

But they didn’t die. They were just fine when they came out again from Jaguar
House.

“What kind of people are these? Where have they come from?” asked all the
Xibalbans.
