They catch the animal and eat it and bring it back to the village so they can all feed there families. Usually the men go hunting and the women stay home and take of the kids. Well that all changed one day as they were all sleeping. A group of enemies came to their village and attacked them. They killed dozens of people and they mainly planned on slaving the captives. Jaguar paw’s wife is pregnant so he puts her in this deep hole. They burned down the village and took a lot of Maya people captive. They took them far away from there village and into the enemies land. There were a lot of disturbing scenes as they enter the city. They chopped off the heads of some of the captives for religion purposes and they also took out the heart. They continued to do that till the sun went down. So the remaining people who were captive was taking to this hunting arena. They let them go 2 at a time so they can shoot them down with spears and arrows.
