The sun rose, and the king stood by the altar. He wore fine clothing and a golden crown. He really did look like the king of all the Incas. The king gave the offering for a good year of great harvest. "Inca forever!" he said. His voice was loud, like a real king's.
Once the offering was burnt and the smoke rose towards the sun, the sacrifice was finished. The king blessed all the people there.
In the Festival of Sun, the person playing the king offers the heart of llama, which is an animal like an alpaca but larger.
