We found a beach and landed on it.
The natives of this land was very friendly, unlike Tabascans. They offered us food, clothes, jewels and other supplies as well. They said to my interpreter that they belong the the empire. The name of Empire was Aztec, and also they called it Mexica.
They included a huge amount of gold and silver. This Aztec empire could be the land of gold, El Dorado! I should make the empire friend, or I have to defeat them.
Fortunately, we also met the Cempoalas, who were not friendly to Aztec, but amicable to us. Cempoalas, who were not friendly to the Aztec empire, supported us to defeat the empire! They offered us their men at arms. They build a fortress and a little town, near the coast, for us. This is the first town in the new continent! I will name it Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz, the village of True Cross. It is now our fortress, headquarter, and port.
However, my men did not want to go further. They wanted to returned to Cuba. They saw the fierce warriors at Tabasco, and they also heard about the huge empire, Aztec. Unfortunately, I had to do make a decision: I burnt all the equipment and ships, except for only one.
Also, I met an ambassador from the Aztec empire. He will report us to the emperor. They think we departed from "tower on the sea" and our cavaliers are "men-beast." But they adored us as much as they worship gods. I do not know what will be happening, but this could help us to treat this entire empire.
