Tales of aztecs

[Elven]

Cristobal Cortez was always dreaming. He wasn't simple Corsair. He wasn't so..cruel. He didn't ever pirated, they say.
I guess he was borned in pueblo del Cortez, their familia's city. Corsairs were always fighting for land, and Cortez familia wasn't exclusive. They fought off few familias who were trying to increase their food fields...
One day, Cortez and Soto familias, who were big friends, won all familias in sector. They forced everyone to pay quite big fine in food.

Because of that, Cortez familia started big fiesta. Everyone was getting drunk. And then, Enrique Cortez married Esmeralda Soto. After wedding, they've got kid quite soon. They name him Cristobalo. Most of locals were intrested in him, and relied big hopes on him.

In 5 years, he became quite found of stars. Then, he learnt Aztec mythology... They say he was present even on bloody sacrifices to the Huizilipochtli. And what's the most strange, he wasn't affected by it. He didn't feel much when he saw dying Maltese... He've been told a lot of bad things about those.

Mum, I don't want to sleep!
Sleep, vamos, or angry Maltese,nomad amigo, will come for you!
He shook a bit, and went to sleep. Madre smiled and turned off light.

Padre, who are those 'Outcasts'?
Caramba, I can't say for sure! They're just.. narcomen who want to infect everyone with their poison! A-and, I'm sure they killed a lot of famous people from our nation.

...and then, I killed them, crashing my Titan into their transport loaded with cardamine! I felt so bad, I'd never say it was good! - father sighed and looked to Crissie's eyes. - Son, never get infected with this poison - or I'll have to kill you myself.

At 15, Cristobal felt he's good enough to try flying space ship. In fact, he wanted to surprise one amiga whom he liked a lot. After few polite words to padre, he decided to steal one of the 'Leggionares' which were collecting dust nearby.

He jumped in one of those, pressed few buttons and launched that piece of junk! However, in few meters he noticed 'fuel leak' message on screen, he landed as fast as he could, and eventually crashed into the kitchen, injuiring his cat and scaring his parents.

Son, the hell did you do this! I told you I'll teach you later!
But padre, I want to see stars once! I can't all the time at home, caramba!
Very well, let's see... I'll give you a few lessons.

Enrique indeed had given him few lessons, and Crissie performed very well in those. Then, padre decided to give Cristobal his old "Centurion", but... not to give him any other money. He didn't want son to come away too far, as he felt he won't live as long as his son...

Unfortunately, Enrique was right. Few years after, strange decease infected everyone in pueblo del Cortez, and most of present people died, including Cristobal's parents. He was nearly lone now, exept his old grandma, who lived on another side of planet. With time, however, he made her resettling at his city.

Now, as rich muchacho, he could afford another ship to fly, and he became more and more found of those. He consumed alcohol, to keep in line with famous ship builders and scrappers on Crete.
Later, he joined the Brotherhood. Corsair Brotherhood, yes, that's it. He was quite famous there, for skill and..his money. He had a lot of money...
Later, he was introduced to the one who called himself Montezuma. They became big friends, ironnically.
According to old Earth's story, they'd rather become blood enemies.
