### Origin

It’zae was born in Zul'Gurub, capital of the Gurubashi tribe and she is the eldest of a brother named Zul'Xujul. Her mother, Itx’zama was Priestess of the Gurubashi Tribe and an religious fanatic of the Loas, specially the Loa of the Blood Hakkar, while her father, Zul’alak was a warrior guard of the Gurubashi capital. Her earliest memories are in the jungle, at the age of 5, with her younger brother Zul'Xujul of 4 years, playing in the undergrowth with pups of raptors and monkeys, while at night she witnessed voodoo rituals and human sacrifices directed by her own mother, without truly understanding the power behind them because of his innocence. Both, mother and father were very severe with her, military discipline and spiritual fervor were always present the years they were together... until the day arrived.

Her mother Itx’zama looked at It’zae as the gift that Hakkar had given her and her reddish hair and eyes confirmed it, she would be her assistant and her successor. Her mother day after day prayed more and more to the Loas, specially to Hakkar and Bwon'samdi, Her fanaticism seemed to have no limits. Her father Zul’alak worked harder and harder in search of sacrifice, but they were not enough, at least not for the true interest of the couple: make It’zae the best priestess of the tribe.

### The sacrifice

It'zae will never forget that month when she was only 7 years old, remember hot and humid days where the earth was prepared and the seeds were sown, her mother made her endure long fasts and make slight self-sacrifices for the day, in which she cut slightly her tongue, dropping drops of blood on land that would be cultivated, while at night she consumed ritual drinks and ate sacrificial meat during long ceremonial nights, which ended with a small sip of blood obtained from offerings served to the Loas:

*"You have completed another day of the circle of blood ... which is the circle of life and death ... my beloved Itz ... there is little time left,"* her mother always told her.

It'zae remembers walking towards the ritual site that she knew so much, going hand in hand with her mother while she told her how special it would be that day ... remember to look at the moon as her mother indicated before each ceremony, and look at a totally dark sky ... it was a new moon.

The ritual began, although this one seemed different, because she was the protagonist of the dances, the songs, the drinks and the offerings, this time it was not a public act, it was private, since there were few trolls and although they all used masks, only she was able to recognize some of the masks because they belonged to her mother's close friends, while others indicate belonging to high-ranking spiritual masters.

The enclosure was only lit with torches, among songs, dances, drinks, drugs and smokes,, the offerings entered, they were drugged as routine, they wear masks, do not speak and are placed on the altar, as usual, but this time it is a double sacrifice : an adult and a child and are lying together, she was little drugged by the concoction prepared by her mother Itx’zama, receives the order from her mother to take the ceremonial knife and take out the still latent heart of both offerings, she was with fear but with courage does, she places them hearts on the ceremonial plate and drank the blood, her mother was proud, she had already become a Gurubashi priestess.

### The Pact

When she drinks the blood that flowed from the hearts of the ceremonial tray, she has strong visions: She is in the realm of the dead, a cold and dark place illuminated by thousands of souls flying through the sky in the middle of a rotten jungle: It is the "otherside"and ahead, there is Bwon'samdi:

*“Im da Loa of da spirits… of da souls… of da dead’… of da living’… cause life arises from da death… and death arises from da life… little girl. Youh have completed da ritual... da blood and spirit of your young bruddah... da blood and spirit of your old father.... are inside of your body ... of your spirit ... and with them my blessin', my strength, my presence, my spirits... your young soul will understand better later but remember ... you have sealed the pact with me and for dat you owe me fidelity ... and offerings, the spirits' are your family now ... It'zae ”*

### Kidnapping

*"...Dont Forget to pray... for da loas... for da tribe... for your mother... pray for me sistah... you will get very far Itz ... ... you will be very powerful ... ... forgive our mother ... ... she just wants da best to you ... ... for da tribe ... "*
