Sara continued to tell her story while Azaak, astonished, listened to that extraordinary woman's words.
-Since the Inquisition was established in Spain around the year 1478, the intolerance, the fanatism and superstition took over the heart of this beautiful land. We were all suspects; jews, muslims and any other person with an intelectual anxiety. Even personal vendettas ended up in accusations of witchcraft or other dark arts. The Holy Office was like some sort of Soul police. Carriages of faith in which heretics, jews and everyone susceptible of being "saved" were burned alive.
-That's horrible! -said Azaak- the spanish were supposed to come to the land of my ancestors to teach us the religion of love and forgiveness, they were even scandalized about our sacrifices. And that religion allows the assassination for being different? The gods gave us intelligence to doubt about everything and to ask questions -Azaak couldn't understand these white people's supposedly spiritual superiority-.
-In Europe things are gloomier than they seem. Knowledge is the cure for fanatism and fear. Look, I'm going to tell you a story about the place where I was born, Granada, the most beautiful city a even God couldn't imagine. There's a boulevard with a beautiful and sad legend.
