Once upon a time, in the heart of the indigenous Pasto culture, lived a princess named Yamal Chaza. Although she was the daughter of Tayta Guachumbal, she was known for her independent spirit and radiant beauty.

Tayta Guachumbal one day, announced that he would marry off his daughter to a brave warrior who could resist the Incas. This announcement triggered a powerful competition among the Pasto warriors, especially Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha.

Túpac Yupanqui Coya, a warrior of immense strength, was favored in the contest. His decision to fight for Yamal Chaza was driven by his burning love for her. He was filled with confidence about his victory.

Guaicha, on the other hand, was not as powerful as Túpac Yupanqui Coya, but he had a sharp mind, swift body, and a ferocious spirit. He, too, was in love with the beautiful Yamal Chaza, and was determined to win her heart.

A battle against the Incas had begun. Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha, along with other Pasto warriors, fought valiantly against the powerful Inca army to protect their land and their princess.

Unexpectedly, the Incas kidnapped Princess Yamal Chaza in the midst of the battle. This unexpected event triggered immense grief among the Pasto people, especially Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha.

Overwhelmed with a sense of urgency, Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha decided to put aside their rivalry. They united to save Yamal Chaza, knowing that their shared love for her was stronger than their personal desires.

Their journey through the treacherous Inca territory was riddled with dangers, but their determination to save Yamal Chaza from the clutches of the Incas propelled them forward.

During their mission, the two warriors had to face numerous Inca soldiers. Guaicha, with his cunning and swift movements, skillfully outmaneuvered the enemy.

Meanwhile, Túpac Yupanqui Coya, with his raw strength, fought fiercely, defeating countless Inca warriors who stood in their way. Together, they were a force to reckon with, baffling even the most formidable Inca soldiers.

After days of nerve-wracking encounters and narrow escapes, they reached the Inca stronghold where Yamal Chaza was held captive. With their hearts pounding, they prepared to storm the stronghold and rescue her.

Guaicha, with his astute mind, came up with an ingenious plan to infiltrate the stronghold, while Túpac Yupanqui Coya prepared for the imminent battle. Their resolve was stronger than ever.

The plan was set into motion under the cloak of darkness. Guaicha, with his swift and silent movements, managed to bypass the guards and infiltrate the Inca fortress.

Simultaneously, Túpac Yupanqui Coya launched a frontal attack on the Inca guards, creating a diversion and drawing the attention of the enemy away from Guaicha. His courage and strength were unparalleled.

With the guards distracted, Guaicha managed to find Yamal Chaza held captive. He swiftly untied her, and together they began to escape from the stronghold.

Outside, Túpac Yupanqui Coya was holding his ground against the Inca soldiers. Despite their number, his strength and courage kept them at bay, allowing Guaicha and Yamal Chaza enough time to escape.

However, as Túpac Yupanqui Coya was about to retreat, he was surrounded by a group of reinforcements. The situation seemed dire, and his defeat seemed imminent.

Just when all seemed lost, Guaicha, along with Yamal Chaza, returned to help Túpac Yupanqui Coya. Together, they fought off the reinforcements, showcasing a display of unparalleled bravery.

With Yamal Chaza safe and the Incas defeated, Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha returned to their tribe as heroes. The Pasto people rejoiced, their princess was safe and their honor restored.

In the aftermath, Tayta Guachumbal was so impressed with the bravery and unity of Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha that he broke the tradition. Instead of marrying off Yamal Chaza, he decided to let her choose her own path.

Yamal Chaza, touched by their bravery, decided to keep her freedom. She thanked both of them, expressing her desire to stay independent and contribute to the tribe's prosperity in her own way.

Túpac Yupanqui Coya and Guaicha respected her decision. No longer rivals, they became the greatest warriors of their tribe, their friendship forged in the fires of adversity.

Their tale of bravery and unity echoed throughout the generations. It became a beacon of hope for their people, a symbol of courage and the power of love that could conquer even the mightiest of foes.

The story of Yamal Chaza, Túpac Yupanqui Coya, and Guaicha, served as a constant reminder to the Pasto people of their rich history, their unyielding spirit, and the values they held dear.

Henceforth, the princess and her valiant warriors lived happily, each making their own contributions to their beloved tribe. Their legacy lived on, inspiring countless generations to come.
