Smoke

The Goddess had a vision. She blew out smoke, and it became a woman. The smoke-woman faced her, and each time the Goddess breathed out the smoke-woman became more solid, more real. It became a reflection of the Goddess, but without hair. The Goddess could feel herself fade away into the smoke-Goddess, as it became more real she evaporated to smoke. As the Goddess was almost completely gone the smoke-Goddess became a hideous monster with deep empty sockets for eyes and spines growing from its face. It screamed and evaporated back to smoke and the Goddess was alone in her chamber atop the pyramid again. The visions shook her, but she did not speak them to her Daughters, for fear they would worry.
