House of Fire

NEXT they went into the fire, for there was a House of Fire. There was nothing
but fire inside. But they were not burned. They were to have been roasted and set aflame.
Instead they were just fine when dawn came. It had been desired that they would
straightaway die when they passed through there, but it was not so. Thus all the
Xibalbans lost heart as a result.
