Alishba - The Ice Maiden's Diary by Alishba Sultan https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp A diary/timeline based on the Ice Maiden's last few months before she sacrificed herself. en-us 2020-09-10 06:13:02 UTC 2024-05-28 03:02:50 UTC hello@padlet.com September 4th, 1440 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734095342 Dear Diary,
A whole month has passed since I have been feeding off coca leaves and corn beer. Most of the month me and the other two kids have been spending time sorting out the bird feathers I bought and the shells they brought. We made our way to the front of the cave and started to lay them out in a nice pattern. It was quite hard as every part of my body is aching and I can't think straight. I am feeling very tired and dizzy which means the coca leaves and corn beer are working. ]]> 2020-09-10 06:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734095342 October 1st, 1440 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734116667 Dear Diary,
The most important stage of my preparation for the ceremony is to make sure I don't run out of coca leaves and corn beer anytime soon. If I do, then the only way I can sacrifice myself is... well you know. The least important stage of my preparation for the sacrifice, is to give hair clippings to the Gods, as that part barely takes anytime.  I am super exhausted and am feeling light-headed. Sometimes I wish I wasn't chosen for the sacrifice. I don't like going through all of this pain because I want to go home and be with my friends like every other normal kid my age. I also need to use the headdress which was actually made from the finest bird feathers I have ever seen. This specific headdress is used just for the ceremony. Not the same ones as the ones I have, but similar.  ]]> 2020-09-10 06:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734116667 November 24th, 1440 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734441658 Dear Diary,
Almost two months have passed by since I last wrote in here. My feet have gone numb because of how cold it is getting and I don't feel well. I have a tapestry which has a lovely design on it. The two children will need to bury me in it once I die. I still need to lay out the gold God figurines which were also wrapped inside the tapestry. I shall sacrifice myself in front of the figurines.]]> 2020-09-10 10:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734441658 August 3rd, 1440 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734461912 Dear Diary,
It has been a whole week since I have been here in this cave. I have to change my diet now since we have to ration the meat. Before, my diet consisted mostly of potatoes since I am a peasant child, but now it will be only coca leaves and root beer for the sacrifice. I understand that corn beer will make me drunk and that the coca leaves are drugs, but it is the only way I can sacrifice myself if I don't want to feel any physical pain. Only a little bit of time left to go now.

I think my time has come to an end and I should start to lay out all the equipment for the sacrifice. I can't see very well and my whole body is in severe pain. I feel weak and I am having a lot of difficulty breathing. My heart is racing really fast as I am writing this down and my hands are shaking a lot. This is going to be the last time I write in here, and to who ever is reading this, this was my journey through these last few months of my life. 
Goodbye.]]> 2020-09-10 11:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734467396 July 27th, 1440 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/foyl46cxxdbyfuvp/wish/734483229 Dear Diary,
I have just arrived at Mount Ampato because I have been chosen to sacrifice myself for the Sun God so I can serve him for the rest of eternity. Two of my friends are here with me,  a four year old boy and a five year old girl. They come from the rich side of the country therefore, they bought red meat with them.
