I had wanted to do one of these for a long time, so here goes! For those who don't like this sort of thing, I've gotta warn you it includes public humiliation, a bit of foot fetish, incest, masturbation and anal fingering. If you find it interesting and want to see more, let me know in the comments. In advance, apologies for the strange-sounding names and vocabulary; I've included them to make it as realistic as possible, but if you find it distracting I'll play it down in any future installments of the series.

PRINCESS OF THE INCA
Cuzco was burning. The Imperial City of the Inca was aflame, untouched for a thousand moons; but now the streets bled with fire as the foreign conquerors from a distant land set it ablaze.
The men who had conquered Cuzco were not men: their bodies were shining, they rode great beasts, and they had weapons that spat fire and thunder at their enemies. These were men come from a distant land, or perhaps from another world entirely; it did not matter. They had arrived and turned the world of the Inca on its head.
Huaman distrusted these strange people, but he hated the Inca even more, so his reply was certain when they approached him and said:
"Show us the weakness of the Inca; and we will reward you."
So he accompanied them to the north, and watched as they pillaged their way to the Imperial City, razing every village, chaining the women together, slaying the men and hoarding every last piece of gold they could find.
Huaman had no mind for the gold that these foreign warriors -- just like the Inca -- valued so much. He wished no title, and he wanted no lands. The only thing his heart wanted was locked safely away within Cuzco's walls -- and these outsiders, with his help, would smash those walls down.
He had shown the foreign warriors the back-door to the great watchtower that stood vigilant before the Imperial City: and he had rejoiced when the foreigners fell upon the sentinels keeping a lazy watch there, and he had drunk their blood when it spilled over the cobblestones. The foreigners had been horrified, for the customs of the land were barbaric to them -- but Huaman's heart was satisfied, at least for the time being.
That had all been earlier in the night. Now -- dawn was still far from breaking, but the sky was red with the fires that raged over Cuzco, and Huaman gripped an obsidian dagger as he ran through the blazing streets and towards the Imperial Palace.

Spring had arrived to the village of Winay, but it was not a time of rejoice for these people. In Spring the field would be sown, the days would grow longer, and men's wives would give them children; but it was not a happy time.
In Spring, the Inca would visit them, and they would demand tribute from the people. Often they would take crops, and cattle, and whatever they had of value, and let them be for the year. But sometimes, they would demand mit'a -- military tribute, and take away men from the village to use in their faraway wars; and the village would take years to heal from this form of tribute.
Huaman awoke early the first day of Spring, and he went to his neighbors and told them:
"I have heard it said from Raslla, who is a kacha that delivers mail and knows the rumors of the land, that this year we will be visited by C'anca, the young ñust'a -- the Princess of the Inca!, and that she is a spoiled, arrogant and ambitious creature."
At hearing this, they all revolted in anger, for it was the law to please the Inca emissary in whatever he chose to order from them: and a young and spoiled Princess would be a nightmare to please.
But Huaman made them be quiet, and he told them:
"We owe the Inca allegiance! But we owe it for their strength of arms: their fathers beat our fathers in battle, and so now we must submit to them. But this ñust'a -- this princess! She has won nothing, but it has all been given to her as a gift. She is no scribe, and she holds no office in the Empire: we will treat her as a guest, but she will not order us around!"
Huaman's neighbors applauded him fiercely, with yells and oaths, but the wise Yachak -- who was the oldest man of the village and, some said, of the whole world -- put his hand on Huaman's shoulder, and said to him:
"Huaman -- you are right in what you say, and your heart is brave. But you have seen only a handful of years; I have seen many. And I've known the Inca intimately, for I was there when, as you said, they beat us in strength at battle, and we had to surrender our futures to them! Yes, I know the Inca, and I can tell you this: to displease the princess C'anca will be to displease the Empire!"
Hearing this, the men were calmed down and reflective: for, while they admired Huaman's bravery, none could stand against the wisdom of Yachak. And soon enough they all made it their plan to bear the princess as best they could for the day she stayed, and after move on with their lives: but Huaman didn't. He said to them:
"Do as you will, but I will not bend my knee to that spoiled brat!"

The people of Winay stood at both sides of the road as they awaited the entrance of Princess C'anca. They saw her herald arrive, dressed in black, and they lowered their heads as he said to them:
"People of Winay! The Gods have smiled upon you by sending to your village Their light and emissary -- the Ñust'a C'anca, daughter of the Great Inca!"
Huaman felt a shiver of anger run through his spine, but he shook it off as if he were stretching his shoulders, not to draw attention.
"The Princess is the blood of your Emperor!" the herald continued. "You must please her in her wishes. She wishes this: that all women, as she passes by and until she leaves, strip themselves of their clothing and throw them onto the road, and not retrieve them until she has left!"
The women of all ages in Winay wore a face of consternation, but none dared object. Huaman clenched his fists in silence.
"As she passes by," the herald went on, "you must put your forehead against the ground, and not stand up again until she has left! You will do this because she is your superior, in beauty, and charm, and lineage."
The herald then turned to the men, and he said:
"She wishes, too, that all men come forward and kiss her feet as she passes by, and remain kneeling until she has left! Those with wives will spit on their woman's back as she lies on the ground: you will do this because the Princess is your superior, and as the animals you are, you would rather a hundred times kiss her feet as slaves than touch your wives as husbands."
Again nobody spoke; but Huaman's fists tightened until he almost bled.
"Long life to the Sapa Inca, the Emperor! Kawsachun!" the herald yelled out.
With that, he moved on, and all waited expectantly for the Princess to arrive and leave, too.
The air hung quiet for a moment: it was as if all on the streets that day expected execution, and were just waiting for the club to split their heads. Then, a great rumble could be heard, as if stones were rolling down the mountain in a slow and steady avalanche, coming towards Winay. The multitude shivered and gasped at this sound, and prepared for the worst.
Soon the first feathered helmets appeared in the distance, with spears shaking like a walking forest as the Princess' royal guards, the Ukuku, marched by. They wore no armor, but carried shields covered in alligator skin as wide as a man's chest, and with human hands painted in blood on them: each was the mark of a beaten foe, and the Ukuku that guarded Princess C'anta wore scores of hands on their shields.
"Disrobe, women of Winay!" they clamored as their column advanced.
Huaman watched enraged as the women of his village removed their clothing in tears: some were old and worn, but most were young and barely budding into womanhood. The wise Yachak, who stood next to him, sighed in resignation; and in that sigh Huaman almost could hear the words:
"Ahina adisi," -- so it must be.
