SHOUTOUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO READ THE WHOLE STORY.

The last chapter was so long! I really surprised myself! IT WAS ALSO UPDATED. Please enjoy.


Teoitotia's POV:

"You must be Liu Kang," I bowed my head to him and then bowed while saying to Kung Lao, "and you must be Kung Lao. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Teoitotia. You can call me 'Dancing Spirit' if you cannot pronounce my name."

They looked at me confused. Kung Lao spoke, "What do you seek here?"

He didn't... I tilted my head. "Raiden did not tell you about me then?" I sighed. I told Raiden that he could tell both of these monks about me since I would be at the Sky Temple quite often and they were bound to see me eventually.

"Lord Raiden did not mention you whatsoever," said Liu Kang. I heard his emphasis on the "lord."

"I see... Then I might as well tell you what he did not." I turned to look at their faces. "As I said before, my name is Teoitotia of the House of Black Stone. I come from a group of people indigenous to what is called the 'Americas.' We have been isolated ever since the Spanish conquest. I came out and started interacting with the world barely five years ago. No one knows who I am besides those who you call 'gods.' I helped very little in the Outworld invasion and led half the battle against Shinnok's forces. I even helped freeing some of you who were Revenants."

They looked at each other. "We've never heard about you...or your people," stated Kung Lao.

"I know that you wouldn't know about my people and you will never hear more of them. But as I said before, I told Raiden to tell you both about me. Although, most importantly, I am not just here to help the 'gods' and Earthrealm, I am also here to be with my mate, Fujin." Their faces reflected some of their shock.

"You married Lord Fujin?" asked Kung Lao.

"I did." I responded. I closed the distance between us, put on a very serious face, narrowed my eyes like a predator, and leaned forward. "But you must swear to never speak of us or me in public. You may think and speak of us as I know you will, but never do so in public or in front of others who know nothing."

They took half a step back and my tactic succeeded. "We swear on our lives."

I relaxed. "Good."

I stepped back from them to give them some space I know they needed. I looked at the early morning sun and sensed Fujin's spirit. Then Fujin emerged from gusts of winds onto the ground we also stood on. He looked at them and they bowed while saying, "Lord Fujin." He nodded his head and then turned to me and said, Notlazohtzin. I closed my eyes and tilted my head to the side and downward in acknowledgement. Under normal circumstances, he would have kissed me, but displays of affection that only married couples could do was frowned upon if done in public/front of others. He walked towards me and turned to the monks, saying, "Lord Raiden is in his temple, he should be here shortly." Then he turned to me.

In Nahuatl, he said, "Nothing new has been discovered. The sorcerer is still out and about. We can do nothing but wait."

NOTE: Every interaction between Teoitotia and the Elemental gods is in Nahuatl unless said so.

"I see. I am free the rest of the day. Want to train?"

"You know I am always down for that," he said with a smile in his tone, knowing where it will lead.

"Axax, Ehecatl," I lightly scolded him while rolling my eyes. He smiled and teleported us somewhere near Tliltetepetl.

2nd Person (POV):

Kung Lao looked around them to make sure no one was near. Once he saw that the area was clear of other souls, he spoke, "Lord Fujin married her? She said she was from America and they were isolated, which explains her look I suppose. Why did he chose her?"

Liu Kang corrected him, "She said 'the Americas' and the 'Spanish Conquest.' That means that her people are still living somewhere south of the United States. Also, don't let Lord Fujin hear you say that. She may look...'primitive,' but if she is with someone like Lord Fujin for life, then she is far more capable than what we see."

Kung Lao considered his words. "I'm just surprised he did what he did. Also, a mortal? Argus was the only one who had a family. Speaking of family, do you think they have any children?"

Liu Kang shook his head. "I don't believe so. They look too free."

"She mentioned that her people were isolated. It would take something strong like magic to keep them isolated for many centuries. Either way, I want to see what she's made of." Kung Lao grinned at the challenge. Liu Kang was expecting the last part, but still gave him a look that said, "really?"

Liu Kang and Kung Lao slightly jumped at being caught of guard when Raiden spoke, "If you are both implying that 'she' is Teoitotia, then I apologize for not telling you both. I felt as if it was not my place. Please keep their relationship a secret. No one else can know."

The monks turned to face him and greeted him, "Lord Raiden. We will say nothing regarding that." Then Liu Kang continued, "It is understandable, Lord Raiden."

Raiden went on, "It would not be wise to challenge her. Not even the both of you combined would be enough."

The monks looked at each other and they both thought, NOW I'm intrigued.

... ... ... ... ...

Teoitotia's POV:

We were sparring a few miles from the Sky Temple and eventually decided to stop. It was almost sunset. Before it could lead to anywhere else, I said, "Let me feel the cosmo's energy." I sat on the ground and tried to sense for any threats by looking at the balance of the cosmos. After a while, I thought that I would sense nothing in a certain part, but I heard a laugh, saw splattered blood and flesh-less lower face, and then felt chaos. I widely opened my eyes and gasped at what I saw/felt. Fujin immediately kneeled in front of me in concern.

"What is it?" he asked in a very serious tone.

"Havik is alive and free."

... ... ... ... ...

Fujin teleported us back to the Sky Temple and we went in the Jinsei Chamber to find Raiden inside the Jinsei. Once he heard us, he opened his eyes and glided out of it. Before he said anything, Fujin told him, "We have a pressing matter, Raiden."

"I'm listening," Raiden responded.

I spoke, "I was checking on the balance of the universe and I saw images that I recognized as attributes of Havik. Chaos increased very slightly, but I noticed the tip in the balance of the cosmos to almost 35/65, with chaos leading. He's alive, Raiden."

Raiden frowned. "Hanzo Hasashi told me that Havik was captured by him and put in the Neatherrealm after the incident a year and a half ago. When he went back, he later told me that Havik was killed. Presumably by Quan Chi."

I chuckled darkly. "If there are a few thing my people learned over the centuries, one of them is to always assume that something as chaotic as Havik will always be around. I know no one wants to hear this, but Havik is essential to the balance of the universe." The balance of 40/60. There is always more chaos than order, but it is the balance of the cosmos and it works out. If Havik was in Chaosrealm, there would be a balance, but since there is no balance, he must be somewhere else.

The debriefing was done, and now it was time to think about how to deal with it. "Where is he?" asked Raiden.

"We do not know. But since the balance is tipped, we can safely assume that he is not in Chaosrealm."

We stayed silent for a while. "If it truly is Havik we are dealing with, then everyone else needs to know," advised Raiden.

I snapped my head up and hesitated to speak. Yet, I still forced the words out of my mouth, "Then it is time."

The two teotzin looked at me. I looked up at both of them and crossed my arms. "It is time for Earthrealm's protectors to know of my existence."

Raiden nodded his head in agreement and Fujin asked, "Are you sure?"

"Havik needs to be taken seriously, even by us. I have permission to let myself be known to only specified groups, but I will not reveal anything about my people. I assume that after a while, I will have to start serving as a diplomat. I know that it is time my people interact a bit more with the outside world. Starting with Earthrealm's protectors."

Fujin nodded in acceptance of my decision and Raiden said, "Tomorrow after we have done our duties, you and I will meet the others at a hidden Special Forces headquarters."

"Of course, Raiden. Rest well."

Raiden responded, "Thank you and you as well." (Note: It was frustrating that I couldn't say "Gracias, igualmente" which is the same thing as I said here, but most of my readers don't speak Spanish, so I had to use a lot of words to send the same message)

Fujin and I headed out and I told him, "I will alert the council and my uncle of our...situation." He nodded and we continued walking.

When we walked out of the Jinsei Chamber, it was already nighttime. I could sense that everyone was sleeping. It was morning in Tliltetepetl, but a general is not needed in times like these, so I do not need to be present in my uncle's meetings. Fujin and I walked to our room in the Sky Temple. We were concerned, but so far, we can do nothing. The monks needed their rest and in the morning, we would go about our duties. After that, we could regroup and deal with this chaos. For now, Fujin and I would go to our room to sleep. The Sky Temple didn't really have any residents, and times like these made me glad. I was a little bit restless and I wanted something else. Once we closed the door to our room, I stayed standing before our low platform bed with blue sheets. It took me a while to get used to a mattress. Fujin knew what I wanted and waited for me to make a move. I turned around and grabbed his hand to bring him close to me. I kissed him and he reciprocated my passion. While kissing, we removed our garments and caressed each other's bodies. I turned us around and walked towards the bed as he was walking backwards to it. He put a hand behind him and bent his knees to soften his fall onto the bed. I stood standing as he moved further into the bed and removed the sheets. Once they were on the floor, I lowered myself onto the bed to straddle him. I moved my hand back to grab his length and rubbed the head with pre-cum. He bucked his hips and tilted his head back to groan. Taking advantage, I leaned forward to softly bit his neck with a playful growl. He chuckled. I lifted my upper body up as he tilted his head forward to look at me with one of my eyebrows raised. "You know I can kill you right?" He smiled. "Don't chuckle when a predator has your neck." He jumped when I put my nails, now claws, underneath his ribs to prove my point. Now I chuckled and moved to kiss him. I lifted my hips up and lined them up with his cock. Then I rapidly lowered my hips and he slid into me. We both groaned as we kissed. I started to rock my hips back and forth. As I gradually built up my speed, he grabbed my hips and started to thrust into me. We broke our kissing and he started panting as I softly moaned. I tilted my head back and rocked my hips faster. He decided that he had enough and wrapped his arms around my hips to stop me. I lowered myself so our chests could touch and as soon as they did, he started pounding into me as fast as he could. I moaned as he hit my sweet spot. I was getting closer, but then he sat the both of us up. We were basically sitting with out legs bent to stabilize us. He was still inside me and we kissed while feeling our love toward each other via our bond. He rubbed my clit and I bucked my hips. I was so caught up in my feelings and then I felt my spirit move beyond my body with his. It was the most pleasurable sensation I have ever felt. Better than an orgasm. He broke the kiss and gasped at what he felt, which must have been the same as I felt. The both of us trembled in pleasure, arms wrapped around each other, and gasping for air. We both felt ecstasy physically and spiritually. After our spirits went back into our bodies, we sat there panting and trying to recover enough to speak. After a few minutes, I closed my eyes and leaned my head forward so my cheek rested on his head. He tilted his head so he could kiss my neck.

"What was that?" he asked.

"I don't know." I paused and thought for a bit. "I don't know what I did." He continued kissing my whole neck. "I think I was subconsciously thinking about moving my spirit in a certain way and was focused on our bond. It must have triggered something."

"Hmmm," he responded.

We lied down on the bed. I could tell that it was about two hours until midnight. For a few minutes, as we recovered, we caressed each other and kissed while focusing the feelings of the other via our bond. Eventually, we wanted to go again and moved to straddle his thighs, he immediately turned on his back. I grabbed his erection, where I could see a small vein pop out, and stroked it. He moaned and tilted his head back. I rubbed the moisture at the tip around the foreskin and his hips jerked up a bit. I grinned and started stroking harder. I sat a little closer to him so our crotches touched. I felt my natural lubricants start spilling out of me, but I ignored it and pumped his cock as hard and fast as I could. His hips bucked and he grunted. I could tell he was close, so I moved a bit higher and put half of his manhood in me while still pumping the lower half. We both moaned and then he moved his hand to grab my clit between two fingers while his thumb rubbed it. Now I bucked my hips and whimpered. I tilted my head back as he looked at me. I stopped pumping him and lowered myself so all of him was inside me. I rocked my hips back and forth as well as in circular motions. I knew that I would come in a few seconds and he rubbed my clit faster. Panting, I bucked my hips and put my hands on his chest. He stimulated my clit using his three fingers and I came with a half moan half groan. My walls tightened around him and he tilted his head back, groaned, and coated my insides with his seed. I moved to lie down beside him on my back. He turned and pulled my leg on his hip. I turned my head and he caught my lips. I hooked my leg on his thigh and we caressed each others face while kissing. We eventually stopped and I lied on my back. He supported himself on his right forearm and summoned some winds to bring our sheets to us. He fixed them to cover us both. We turned towards each other and were only inches apart. We nuzzled our faces against each other as I purred and he told me, I love you, before we went to sleep.

... ... ... ... ...

I woke up an hour before dawn and saw Fujin with his back turned towards me, still sleeping. My mind went to last night's events. I narrowed my eyes and shifted into a jaguar. I moved close to him without touching him. I moved my head near his ears and let out a small huff through my nose. With that noise and our bond, he was alerted that I was awake. I looked down to see him opening his eyes. He immediately looked up at me. Before he could turn around, I growled and went on my lower legs to slighly jump on top of him. He let out a grunt and chuckled while loosely putting his arms on my large body. "Still mad about last night?" he asked. I knew what part of last night he was referring to. I growled and opened my jaws to softly bite his neck as he tilted his head back with a small smile on his face so my large canines wouldn't bite his face. He massaged my ears and before I could go soft, I let go of his neck and rolled my body around. I rubbed myself against him with a groan-like sound while he laughed.

Fujin's POV:

I could tell that she wanted to play so I shifted into a jaguar as well. She stood up on her legs and before she could do anything, I lifted my body up, still on my back, and pushed her away from me while nipping at her lower neck. She moved away from me and off the bed as I took the opportunity to stand on my legs. We faced each other and she lowered her head and playfully snarled. I lunged and she dodged to catch my neck in her paws. I turned my head to nip at her, but she turned her body into mine and softly bit my neck. I let out a small growl and she growled back. Times like these made me glad no one stayed in this building. To catch her, I turned sharply and fell so my back was on the ground. She was on top and tried to bite neck, but I caught her head in my paws. She shook her head, trying to be free. Eventually, she got free and moved back to pounce again. After a few minutes of biting, pawing at each other, snarling, and growling, I caught her in a compromising position from her back with a growl and she rushed to get out. I realized that I caught her in a mating position and I know she tried to stop or hide it, but it was too late and I caught scent of her arousal. I softened up and tried to get her to calm down so we could satisfy our growing needs. I could tell that she was using aggression to cover up her arousal. She snarled and growled while trying to get me in a losing position, but I got on top of her and licked her neck. Her eyes moved to look at me and lowered her lips to cover her teeth. Before she could show her teeth again, I put my mouth over her neck as I told her, easy, my love, and pulled her towards the bed. She agreed and we switched positions. I walked towards her and she walked to the bed. I knew she wanted to play but neither of us thought that it would lead to this.

Once we reached our destination, she fell on her back and shifted back to her human form, her eyes still gold. I barely reached the bed and shifted back too. Her legs spread so I could settle between them. I noticed that she was really wet. I covered her body with mine and we kissed, my length poking her abdomen. She was squirming and I decided to skip the foreplay, so I grabbed my cock and guided it inside her with a moan. She caught my mouth as I started to thrust at a relatively fast pace. She shivered as I nuzzled my face in her neck and I started to go faster and harder. I grunted as she moaned. I could feel that she wanted to be rough, so I started to pound her into the bed, grunting loudly as she whimpered and groaned as I was hitting her sweet spot. Wet skin slapping sounds emerging and she tilted her head back as she instinctively spread her legs more. As I thrusted into her, her body shook at the force and her small breasts bounced. I put most of my weight on her as I continued pounding into her. She clung onto me and chanted, "Oh, Fujin, my love." When her walls clenched onto me more often, I groaned and said, "Almost there, my love." I went slightly faster, but then lifted my body up and she was entranced at the sight of my wet, thick, hard cock slipping in and out of her. I looked at her face as she dug her fingers into my back with a lustful growl. I pounded her as fast and hard as I could and moved my hand to rub her clit. She closed her golden eyes, whimpered, and her juices rapidly flowed out of her. I gave a few hard thrusts and coated her walls with my seed with a moan. I put all my weight on her as she recovered. The moment I felt her pulse through her clit, I instinctively thrusted into her and she moaned.

I didn't want to ruin the moment or even stand up, but I slid out of her and stood up. I went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet so the large, square bath tub could be filled. After it filled up, I went back to find Teoitotia as a coyote, who had the sheets wrapped around her and her eyes were drooping. I chuckled and squatted to offer my hand and said, "We should bathe." She tucked her head in her tail with a huff, so I removed the sheets and picked her up. She gave a low growl in protest. Once by the tub, I gently lowered her in the tub. She immediately shifted back to lie back on the tub and with a sigh, said, "I wanted to sleep." I responded, "I know." I joined her and kissed her. "But we have to go." She started bathing as I undid my braid. She broke the silence, "We will never do that so close to dawn, again." I chuckled and we went on to bathe.

Teoitotia's POV:

After we bathed and dressed, we went about our duties. But I did my daily meditation beforehand. It was 7am in China and about 6pm in Tliltetepetl when I returned to the Sky Temple. I saw Raiden and Fujin discussing something outside when I landed on the Sky Temple grounds after I made sure no one would see me. Liu Kang and Kung Lao were there too. I dived as a falcon and shifted into my human form before I hit the ground. I landed with my legs bent as if I were to squat. I stood to my full height and the two monks bowed. I nodded in return and Fujin greeted me, My love. I sent a part of my spirit to fly around him and I purred at him telepathically. My spirit became whole and Raiden said to me, "Teoitotia, we will go now."

"Of course, Tlatlotzin," I said while bowing my head.

Fujin walked backwards to the chamber as the monks, Raiden, and I huddled closer to each other. "The Special Forces, Lin Kuei, and Shirai Ryu leaders will be there," Raiden informed me. I nodded in understanding. Raiden extended is arms in concentration and lightning went down on us.

When I blinked, we were at a Special Forces base in the southwestern United States. "Let us go," said Raiden and he started walking. The monks waited for me to go, but I told them, "The both of you can go ahead." They didn't argue and walked behind Raiden as I walked behind them. Before we entered the base, I made sure nothing was present to witness me and I shifted into a ladybug. I flew behind the monks. I shifted so no other people would see me. I had to make sure no one would speak of me or my own in any way for the time being, and only a general could do such a thing. Once the trio stopped before the door to a conference room, I shifted back and was glad no one saw me. I made myself as small and non-important as possible. We entered the room and Raiden stopped before the large table. "Thank you for assembling at this time," he told everyone. The monks nodded to everyone in greeting and moved aside so I could be seen more.

Raiden moved a bit to the side and as I approached the group, he said, "This is Teoitotia, a fellow Earthrealmer who will aid us to defeat Havik. She helped us during the Outworld invasion, the return of Shinnok, and the resurrection of the the rest of Revenants."

I stopped before the group and slightly bowed. Remembering the English language, I said, "Good evening, as Lord Raiden said before, my name is Teoitotia, but you may call me 'Dancing Spirit' if you cannot pronounce my name. My people and I are indigenous to this continent and I do not wish to be rude, but you must all swear to never speak of the existence of me or mine with those that do not know of us. Speak only amongst yourselves, as I know you all will, but make sure no one else is near. Besides that, it is a pleasure to meet you all." I saw the stares of most of them. The only thing that makes me stand out are my garments. I am wearing my wedding cloak (over a cloth covering my breasts) tied over my right shoulder, a white loincloth with black stripes under a white hipcloth with a black border, white sandles with red ties, white cloths with black borders tied under my knees, jade earplugs, jade circular septum jewelry, jade stud labret, and my hair is down to the nape of my neck. I need to look formal for this meeting, so that is why I chose to wear what I did.

Raiden and the monks approached the table, but I stayed behind the people with a good view at the rest. Then Raiden continued, "Teoitotia was the one who sensed the next danger not just to Earthrealm, but the rest of the realms. This old enemy is Havik of Chaosrealm."

Scorpion stated, "I heard that Quan Chi killed him."

"Perhaps he did, but he did not stay dead," Raiden retorted as Scorpion looked down.

Sonya asked, "Does he have an army at his disposal?"

Raiden thought about it and Scorpion answered her question, "He does, but he usually works alone at all times. An army is not a concern. The concern is his ways of achieving chaos. They can be the most rarest and ancient of magics and artifacts. Not even his fighting style can be pinned down."

Raiden spoke again, "What Grandmaster Hasashi said is correct. Havik only seeks to bring chaos and his methods are unpredictable, we can only prepare for everything we can prepare for."

"How do we stop him?" asked Sub-Zero.

I spoke up, "If I may interfere," Kung Lao moved to the side so the others could see me, "Havik cannot be eliminated completely. If you kill him, greater dangers emerge. I suggest finding a way to simply return him to Chaosrealm and lock him there for as long as possible."

The group considered my words and Nightwolf asked, "What do you suggest?"

I looked at him as if we were equals. "I do not have a definite answer, but if he is immobilized, I can return and lock him in Chaosrealm." We support your decision and request. It was my ancestors. Thank you, ancestors, I responded.

Liu Kang asked me, "If you can return him to Chaosrealm and make sure he stays there, why can you not immobilize him?"

"He is chaotic and even I cannot predict his moves, this objective is a 'team effort.'"

They seemed satisfied with my answer. It was Sonya's turn to ask me a question, "Raiden said that you were the one to detect Havik's presence. Is he in Earthrealm? Is it his target?"

"He is not in Earthrealm, but even if the target were not Earthrealm, would it not be wise to stop him?"

I could sense that Raiden was about to dismiss this meeting. "For now, you must all be extremely vigilant and when you can, try to find more information regarding this threat." The rest of them nodded their heads in agreement. Then Raiden continued, "Thank you all for coming. We will take our leave."

Raiden turned to leave and I told him in my tongue, "I will go to Tliltetepetl. I must be alert of the no-good spirits' activities, but I will still be of aid."

He nodded. "Of course." Then he left with the monks.

I turned back to look at the others who were still speaking of the matter in groups. Nightwolf turned to me and I approached him. Within conversation distance, I bowed and said in his tongue, "Nightwolf, son of the Matoka, my name is Teoitotia of the House of Black Stone from Tliltetepetl. It is an honor to meet you."

He responded, "Teoitotia, it is an honor to meet you. You may call me Grey Cloud. You know my tongue?"

I smiled. "I learned all the indigenous languages spoken in the Americas to this day."

"I've never heard of your people."

"We have been isolated ever since the white men conquered most of the land, so we do not go out much. However, one of your elders know about us."

"I never knew other tribes with their lifestyles intact still existed besides some of the Amazonian tribes. I assume you know my abilities?"

"Yes and I will let you know some of mine. Please do not tell anyone. I can manipulate my spirit in the way that lets me interact with other spirits and the physical world. I can also feel the energies of the cosmos, which is how I detected Havik. Also, what I am about to tell you must be kept between us. You must swear to tell no one, not even your people."

"I swear on my honor to tell no one."

"Thank you." I paused for a bit. "I am married to the spirit you call 'Tate' and my people are overall, classified as 'Nahua' but we have fought no-good spirits for thousands of years, which is how we developed out abilities."

His face showed his surprise. "May I ask, when you married Tate?"

"A little over two years ago, but I have known him more years than that."

He thought for a second. "One of my elders told me at about the time in a particular day, 'the wind is happy and blows with joy.' I thought it odd and that he meant something else, but I suppose it was you who influenced that."

I chuckled. "You can say that. That very elder you speak of, he knows about my people and I. You can talk to him concerning us."

"I see. Now, I apologize, but I must leave. It was an honor meeting you," he said and bowed.

I bowed in return. "The pleasure was all mine. Please don't treat me like Heyoka; I don't want to handle more formalities beyond my people. Take care of yourself and may your people be well. Now that you know me, if you or your people are ever in extreme danger, just call out for me."

"I shall and thank you," he said and he left.

Then I walked to Sub-Zero who was talking with Scorpion. I was surprised. It seems that they came to an understanding. The turned their heads towards me and then their bodies. I turned to Sub-Zero and bowed deeply. I greeted him in Mandarin, "It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Grandmaster KuĂ­ (Kuai) of the Lin Kuei."

He bowed and responded, "It is an honor to meet you."

Then I turned to bow to Scorpion and greeted him in Japanese, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Grandmaster Hasashi of the Shirai Ryu. Would you please give Sub-Zero and I a moment to speak?"

He bowed and said, "It is nice to meet you and of course."

I thanked him, "Thank you."

I turned to Kuai Liang. "It really is an honor to meet you Grandmaster."

"Thank you and it is also an honor for me. You said 'it is a pleasure to finally meet you.'"

I smiled. "Yes. I have heard of your honorable acts for Earthrealm and your clan."

"Thank you, but that was nothing. I am still rebuilding my clan and earning our honor."

"That is a truly honorable act, Grandmaster. I do not look down upon you, Grandmaster, but please continue looking forward while also addressing the past. I must leave now. It was a pleasure." I bowed in respect again.

"Thank you for your positive words. It was also a pleasure to converse with you." He bowed.

I smiled and turned to walk out the door. Once I was outside the room, I made sure no one saw me and I shifted into a ladybug. I flew through the base and reached the moonlight. That is a man worthy of our secrets, said my ancestors. I agree, I responded. Once the Special Forces base was no longer in sight, I shifted into a golden eagle and flew home. My people would be sleeping by the time I got home, but I am still not tired. I kept on flying and when I reached central Mexico I started to get sleepy, until a gust of wind hit me. I furiously flapped my wings to gain my balance again and let out a cry. I knew who that was...

Very funny.

I heard Fujin chuckle. You're falling asleep, my love.

I might as well stop here to rest.

Come now-I was just watching out for you.

Or stalking me.

He chuckled again. Still tired from this morning?

Silence or I will sleep here. That cactus looks like a good spot. Hmmm.

What is it?

I didn't dance today.

You can do that tomorrow in the night of song and dance.

How come you're at home? Wouldn't Raiden put you on watch duty for Havik?

I offered, but he obviously said that he could take over. I was going to stop him, but you know how he gets.

Are you not tired?

The Jinsei wore those feelings off, but I will still sleep with you. Speaking of which, I'll be right there.

I got confused and tilted my head mid-flight as I didn't feel his spirit in Tliltetepetl. I felt gusts of winds above me and saw Fujin falling towards me. I cried out in surprise. I heard him laugh as he caught me. Then I noticed that we were on the roof of our home, right above our bedroom. He lowered me on the ground. I made a hole right below us and we fell through. Then I looked up and closed it.

"A little warning next time," I told him with scolding eyes.

He gave me a small smile and started removing most of his clothes. "How was it?"

I started removing most of my garments and jewelry. "As good as it could have gone."

I found him already on our mat/bed, on his back and under the covers. I walked towards it and went on all fours on our bed to kiss him. Then I lied down on my side with my back to him. "Sleep easy, my love. I know you need it more than I do," I told him. I knew he smiled. He turned to his side and moved to kiss my lower jaw. Then he went back to his previous position and I let my body shut down so our spirits could go out beyond our borders to play.


Please give me some feedback! Thanks!
