JUANA PANCHA
Translated by:
Raúl Ernesto Chévez Mancia
It is said that she was born the day she was supposed to be born, at the top of the hill known as “Cerro Juana Pancha”, Juana Francisca Callejas, by all known as Juana Pancha.
Endowed with acute intelligence, the gods filled her with great physical gifts, that way she becomes the most beautiful woman in the region, her figure simply embellishes men.
A powerful sorcerer falls madly in love with the young woman, tried to seduce her, crazy with love and desire puts into play all his power and cunning, but is rejected with mockery; This will bring Juana Pancha misfortune since the necromancer warlock condemns her to never know true love.
Years pass and Juana Pancha travels alone on the roads of life without knowing love; feeling the toy of men, sadness, resentment and pain are nested in his heart, giving rise to a life of pillage and become an ally of the moon and the night.
With the curse Juana Pancha inherits powers from the shadows; She flies through the skies, travels on the back of wild beasts, visits the house of the wealthy gentlemen and silently took all his treasures, the finely carved chests give up without need of a key and give to Juana Pancha his velvet-lined cases, full of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and abundant silver and gold coins.
An excessive resentment overflows the heart of Juana Pancha, here she also begins to steal souls and for that purpose, she appears to men with her dazzling beauty, winks at them and with her sweet and picaresque smile bewitches them, leading them to her cave.
They say she appears and begins to walk slowly, turns to see you and smiles , begging you with her coquettish walk to follow her , they all fall to the spell and when they are about to reach it, in a peeping of eyes it is no longer there, you see it again within reach and you feel a whisper in your ear that passionately begs you to come ... follow me ... then a malicious giggle makes your soul vibrate. The great surprise is when you get to the cave, The tender creature becomes indescribable, an abominable being: his pearl teeth, now look like a hungry wolf, his sweet smile, a grimace of terror, and his whisper a scream that freezes the blood and paralyzes you from head to toe, once in front of it, impossible to escape, you feel the legs thick and heavy, as if your body had to move the legs of an elephant; then nobody knows about you.
When several young people disappear from the town, the suspicions go directly to Juana Pancha; the white sorcerers meet and decide to free it from evil. They manage to reach the cave, a stinking wind is breathed and very strange screams are heard, a terrible storm is unleashed, blinding flashes of lightning and a thousand rays discharge their fury illuminating the night; the sorcerers manage to make a magical fence and with powerful spells, after a hard battle against that horror, they seal the door of the cave.
Although they leave an outlet for that beautiful and unhappy woman who has been punished by fate. If a good man comes to his cave and camps in it all night on a holy Friday, undeterred by what he sees or hears, the chains of the curse will be broken and Juana Pancha will be freed with all her beauty and her treasures accumulated in gold and precious jewelry. You dare?
