Why have you killed our ruler?” But when Mayehuatzin found out his subjects were angry, [since it made him angry], then he said to Coyohuehuetzin, “My elder brother, please get one of the war leaders who can shout, who has a strong voice.” Then they summoned a seasoned warrior named Tlamayocatl, and Mayehuatzin gave him instructions, saying to him, “Go over there and say to the people of Cuitlahuac, ‘Oh people of Cuitlahuac, your ruler Mayehuatzin has sent me. Look at him standing over there at the altar platform.’” When the people of Cuitlahuac heard it, they replied, “No, you have killed him.” Then he said to them, “He is not dead.

The other answered, "He is not dead as you think; look
