Then the great chief of the tribe ordered his best warriors to go in search of the chief
of the warriors and ask him for peace. Thus, days later, the soldiers returned with
Huáscar, the most recognized warrior of the invading tribe, who brought a message of
non-aggression. Upon receiving the news of the young warrior, the great chief was so
delighted that he ordered that he be given the best treatment. Everything was going
perfect until one day a beautiful girl appeared, playing in a water well. The warrior
was surprised and asked his name, then he discovered that it was Huandy, daughter of
the great chief himself. But the worst thing for Huáscar was not that he had looked at
her or that she was the chief's daughter, but that she had looked at him too, blushing
and smiling. After that they talked, fell in love and agreed to meet on the river bank,
when the night was at its peak.
But his tribe did nothing, and on the contrary, praised the determination of the great
chief. Already without illusions, seeing how his beloved died, seeing that only a
stream separated him from her, he then vowed to take revenge one day on those who
did not allow them to be happy. They both cried, from the maiden's tears the
Chinanchocha lake was formed, and from those of Huáscar, the Orconcocha lake. It
was the last breath.
Finally, seeing so much love, the sun god took pity on them and supported Huáscar's
revenge. Rain, thunder, lightning and hail was what sent the tribes in question, and it
was so much and for so long that it covered the corpses, thus turning them into the
snow-capped Huascarán by Huáscar and Huandoy by Huandy.
