Biography
Early life
The niece of a respected chasqui, or running messenger, Quila decided to leave her husband in Cuzco in 1534 to follow her uncle's path, dreaming of one day meeting the Emperor. Despite her speed and stamina, Quila was looked down upon by the other all males chasquis, who constantly told her that she was not a true chasqui and that she should go home to be a good wife. The only exception was Turi, a young chasqui novice, whom Quila secretly took under her wing, teaching him how to read quipus.
By 1536, according to the Spanish Don Gonzalez Pardo, Quila had become the fastest chasqui among those he had seen pass before him, while sleeping off his wine on the roadsides.
Discovering a plot
That same year, after a quipu was again passed over her to a slower male chasqui, Quila stole the message with the intent of losing her pursuers and delivering it herself. However when she read it, she accidentaly discovered a conspiration to kill Emperor Manco who was besieging Cuzco and the Spanish. Decided to warn her Emperor of the threat, Quila tried to steal the horse of Don Gonzalez to quickly warn Manco before the attempt on his life. Unluckily, the drunkard giant was awake for once and drew his sword, threatening Quila and telling the Inca that no one was allowed to touch either his drink nor his horse.
However at the same moment, the three other Chasquis from whom she had stole the quipu caught up with her and threw a stone on her head with a sling. This act enraged Don Gonzalez, who decided to defend the stunned woman and charged the natives. Being half-drunk, he stumbled and knocked himself out.
