{LOAD GAME}

[06:44:16] LOOC - Lotlhuitl: (Hey friend)
[07:04:44] Dramatic -- Powerful change.

Those alone seemed the words fitting to describe this Ezmaran as he moved without hesitation through these streets. Confidence practically clinging to his body as he stood only slightly taller with each and every proud step forwards. His attention focused on not a single soul as though he was looking through those around him as though they didn't quite exist in his eyes for whatever reason.

"... How wonderful a day is with a blessing upon my shoulders." He seemed to practically muse as the clanking of his boots was almost overpowering at this moment. The world around him nothing more than scenery as he attempted to stride through this square of Cruxati without so much as a single thought placed into any other. Even brushing past Lotlhuitl without a single word as he pushed forwards.

That was...

Unless called out for whatever reason.
(Noa Huitzilopochtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:17:32] To say Lotlhuitl was sore about what happened the other day was an understatement!

Her blood boiled when she saw Shining Prince Noa walk down the main street of Cruxati.

The Cruxati woman, now obviously heavily pregnant, stood in the middle of the road. Getting in Noa's way. She opened her mouth to speak.. and Noa literally just brushed past her.

The woman stumbled slightly. Put off balance not so much physically by Noa brushing past her, but, well, emotionally. For a second, her heart had fluttered in her throat. Her green eyes widening. Heck, perspiration suddenly threatened to dot her brow.

"Noa." She said, hands curling into fists. She couldn't work out what was worse. The fact that he was slighting her, or the fact that he was strong enough to get away with it.

The fact that he was strong enough to get away with it.

The realisation threatened tooverwhelm her. The mana within her was spiking, her blood churning. She wanted to strike him down again.

"You.. you might have Karma fooled, but others will not be so easily blinded!"

(Lotlhuitl)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:22:40] He snapped -- Just as quickly as he heard his name called.

This staff upon his shoulders flung into his hands as the tip of such was shot in the direction of who had called out his name. The weapon itself falling just inches from slamming into the neck of Lotlhuitl, his body free from any semblance of tension as the word imposing seemed all the more appropriate now. Eventually the realization of just who he stood before had come to overtake him.

"... Ah! Lotlhuitl, I'm slightly on edge." His words rang without hesitation as the tip of such a weapon quickly pulled back from the neck of this Nagual. Though as those words finally began to register in his mind his lips couldn't help but to part in a brilliant grin. Fooling anyone was meant for those at the very bottom of the barrel, those who could do nothing but make a fool of themselves.

"I have no reason to fool anyone. Though, tell me. What have I done, Lotlhuitl?"

His interesting gained for that moment.
(Noa Huitzilopochtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:26:56] The Nagual's ears were pinned backwards, her eyes wide with surprise. Even a touch of horror. She.. she hadn't expected the staff to swing out towards her. The expression was evident only for a second, but that was likely enough for Noa to see it.. and for her to know Noa had likely seen her moment of weakness.

She didn't like not being the best. She didn't like being out of control. And in that moment, she was made to feel both of those things acutely.

A scowl rose to her lips, her displeasure increasing as Noa smiled at her. Grinned.

"I.. our duel. You tricked Karma. Made it look like it was my fault, when it was all you. You're the one who threatens to kill his wife, and yet somehow I'm the one who gets publically scorned."

Her gaze narrowed.

"I can't believe I ever trusted you."
(Lotlhuitl)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:32:03] "... So?"

His tone now seemed incredibly bored as his attention drifted down towards his nails. Almost as though he had expected something more, though still all this talk about himself was truly wonderful. Absorbed entirely in his own body be it physical appearance or even hearing of himself it took him a moment to finally reply beyond what was otherwise a rather lazy response.

"I never threatened the wife of Karma. However, I did not force you to strike me. At any point you could of stopped that constant assault of blows." Noa spoke as calm as ever as finally his gaze lifted once more. Returning back to Lotlhuitl as though he had somehow come to expect something more from these allegations that otherwise meant nothing to him.

"Honestly. I don't understand your rage, afterall! I am blessed by The Sun, each of my actions are righteous. Even choosing not to send a single blow in your direction."

As embarrassing as that was.
(Noa Huitzilopochtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:40:35] Lotlhuitl's anger changed to bewilderment. Never threatened the wife of Karma?

"What? No, that's not what I-"

He hadn't understood her. She'd meant to imply that Noa threatened Xitlalli. That was why she'd struck him in the first place, after all.

The Nagual's tail twitched, her lips slightly agape for a second before she let out an intensely frustrated cry. "By all the spirits in the highest realms, Noa. What have you got between your ears, boy, a rock?"

She pointed at him. "You threatened Xitlalli. You let others threaten Xitlalli. Or have you forgotten?"

She shook her head, disbelief evident at her delicate face. "I could have stopped, sure. But you deserved that beating."

Her voice dropped in volume, her tone incredibly silken.
"You've never deserved Xitlalli."
(Lotlhuitl)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:40:35] Noa Huitzilopochtli says, "... Oh. Right."
[07:53:23] Mmm...

She continued to spout those words as though they could hurt him now. Leaning forwards with his gaze suddenly level with Lotlhuitl now that wicked smirk seemed all the more imposing. His entire demeanor acting as though everything she said, it had meant nothing to this man who had once listened to such criticism with all of his heart. Pushing a hand out from beneath his cloak it would come to gently cup the chin of this Nagual and force her gaze into Noa's own.

"Who does she deserve, Lotlhuitl? Someone like you? Someone who could never dream of matching my power? Matching how absolutely flawless I have become? Does she deserve you, Lotlhuitl?" He seemed to practically muse those words as the hand pressed against her features pulled back. Pushing beneath his cloak once more with a body straightening outwards all to look over this square of Cruxati once more, perhaps such a land was fitting for her.

"She is mine to do as I please with. She placed her trust in me, not you or any other. I will not concern myself with insignificant ants as I work to repair Agartha."

Then, came yet another pause.

"She is mine, Lotlhuitl. I earned her, I find pleasure in her presence. No matter how hard you struggle, nothing is changing that."

My... How cold.
(Noa Huitzilopochtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:55:05] LOOC - Lotlhuitl: (how tall is Noa?)
[07:55:05] LOOC - Noa Huitzilopochtli: (5'9
[07:55:05] LOOC - Ame: (3.0)
[07:55:05] LOOC - Ame: (S-Shit)
[08:10:27] Lotlhuitl of the Cruxati was taller than Noa Huitzilopochtli, and yet, somehow the younger man made Lotl feel small.

Her breath had audibly caught in her throat as Noa gently cupped her chin and forced her gaze onto his. Somehow, she had half-expected violence in his actions, or, well, anger in his gaze. She looked down her nose at him, hands trembling. Silent.

She would have stared him down even if he hadn't forced her to look at him. Lotl hated being touched. Hated it. Her entire body was filled with tension. And yet, she couldn't back away. Couldn't break contact. This was a game of wills, and her will was surely superior!

And then Noa spoke. The Nagual's eyes had visibly widened. Each word cut through the defensive wall of anger she kept herself wrapped up in. She wanted to deny everything he said. Desperately so. But how could she? He made her feel weak. Insignificant. Her fluffy ears, which had been pinned back slightly, slowly shifted forwards. Not perked up, or alert.. just into a more neutral position. Pointed down, rather than back.

Lotlhuitl trembled as he let go of her.

Perhaps that was it. Perhaps she would have just stood there, looking defeated. If it wasn't for the fact that Noa just kept going.

"You're.. you're wrong! Xitlalli trusts me! More than she trusts the likes of you, you who would dare consider hurting a hair on her head."I've been fixing all the trouble she's been in. What have you done?"

Lotlhuitl spat at him.

"Insignificant ant?! Fuck you, Noa."
(Lotlhuitl)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[08:19:50] Mmm...

Her words once more seemed to fall upon deaf ears. Even as she spat upon him it was nothing more than a minor stain that would soon be cleansed the very moment they took to purifying this land. Noa spoke not a single word in that moment as he turned away from this woman who had once managed to strip him of his right to combat, almost as though even now she was something beneath him he could so easily disregard.

"Goodbye, Lotlhuitl. Perhaps if you're blessed all the same, you can witness the rebirth of Agartha with myself as it's savior." Noa made that proclamation without so much as a second of pause. Those were words he truly believed above all else, that still the possibility to achieve something greater was present. Though all the same it still sounded as though he was repeatedly looking down upon Lotlhuitl.

"Feel free to return to Ezmara. Even ants deserve the right to roam as they please, I will not strip that from you or anywho would witness this future of Agartha."

With those words, he made his exit. He needn't say anything more on Xitlalli, as what he had spoken prior would be allowed to linger on her mind.
(Noa Huitzilopochtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[08:34:20] Lotlhuitl's heart was beating rapidly in her chest as Noa denied her the reaction she so desired. Was he really so much better than her? The woman's tail bristled, her ears still pointing downwards as she watched him walk away from her. Disbelief.

Why.. why couldn't she be just like him?

Strong. Calm. Heck, liked.

Her hands uncurled from fists as a terrific sense of despair just sunk into her bones. She almost fell to her knees right then and there.

Somehow, she remained standing. Her self loathing was bad enough, she didn't really need to add publically breaking down due to an old friend deciding that she was worthless.

worthlessworthlessworthless--

What the fuck was wrong with her. She had to change. Become better than this. Whatever this was. No matter the cost. She would become someone Noa, Xitlalli, Xoconan - heck, the wholeof Argatha - would have to feel envious of! She would be on top.

One last retort. Said to his back.

"... you're not going to save Agartha. Dmex is."
(Lotlhuitl)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[08:38:36] ... Aha?

That alone was enough to make him pause. Wrapping his arms over his gut his entire physical form seemed unable to hold itself back in that moment, she was so far out of the loop it was wonderful to witness. Needing not to so much as turn around Noa could only laugh in retort to those words. Standing in the streets of Cruxati leaning forwards with arms firmly coiled around his gut, this followed of The Sun simply laughed.

"For the longest time, I felt I haven't laughed like that for the longest time. I suppose I can still find entertainment in the oddest of places, can't I?" His words filled with pure bliss now as tears were wiped away from his eyes. Standing upwards once more with that gentle glow of cosmic energy seeming to flicker for a moment, he allowed this Nagual the right to match his gaze once more. Peering over his shoulder, back towards her.

"Who do you believe blessed me, Lotlhuitl? I am the flawless angel created by a God, one who will bring force that salvation."

With that, he would let nothing stop him as he marched off.
(Noa Huitzilopochtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[08:41:10] LOOC - Noa Huitzilopochtli: (bring forth*
[08:41:10] LOOC - Noa Huitzilopochtli: (im sleepy
[08:49:42] Lotlhuitl had frozen as Noa laughed. Her skin, rich and brown, gained a distinct furious pink flush of colour as he laughed. She didn't understand. Her tail whipped back and forth like a serpent waiting to strike.

How could he laugh at her? How dare he mock..

And then at his words, a distinct fear was realised. Her green eyes widening, her gaze for a moment completely horrified. A pang of intense, bitter longing threatened to overwhelm her as for a second she struggled to understand what he meant.

And with understanding came despair.

"...no." Lotlhuitl breathed, her eyes wide as she watched him walk off.

The woman stood there for some time afterwards, silent and as still as a statue. Dmex had replaced her. Dmex had found a new favourite. Dmex.. had blessed someone other than herself.

The woman felt something crack within her. The mental image,the identity she had built up. It was slowly being shattered.

She wasn't worthy of being loved. She wasn't beautiful. She was weak and a coward. And nobody liked her. Even her Goddess thought she was pathetic, choosing Noa over her.

"No!" A single word. Screamed. Loud enough to startle some nearby birds out of a tree. Hands pressed against her face, Lotlhuitl began to quietly sob. "No.."

[09:15:18] The days flew by.

Lotlhuitl gave birth in Cruxati.

Twins.

Though the birth was not easy, the Nagual woman was strong. Both children were healthy. And their presence in her arms was a comforting force.

Though, what little comfort these sweet babes could offer could not offset the damage dealt to her psyche, to her will.

Nursing them both, the Nagual had softly cooed to her children. Whispered sweet promises. She would be strong for them. Protect them. She could be whoever they needed her to be.

If she wasn't good enough?

Well. She would just become someone else.
