Yes I know its technically after midnight but work and awesomeness in my off-line life got in the way.

2. Mythology
It wasn't often that Gods fell from the heavens but Clark thanked the sky for the day it granted his village the honor of having Quetzalcoatl live among them. The very vision of the God's skin passing in the corner of Clark's eye made him pray his thanks.
Quetzalcoatl was not only beautiful but the most intelligent being Clark had ever known, not to mention kind. Life in the village had improved tremendously since Quetzalcoatl's arrival, not to mention Clark's personal life.
Clark had the privilege to be one of Quetzalcoatl's bodyguards, though it hardly seemed like the god needed one, which meant Clark got to see the god regularly, even if he couldn't look at him directly.
They reached the top of the temple stairs, Clark kneeling and bowing his head when Quetzalcoatl stopped and turned to him.
"It's odd," Quetzalcoatl said after a moment of observing him. "You're the only one here who avoids looking at me."
"I'm not worthy," Clark managed to stammer.
"You are many things Clark, and that is not one of them," Quetzalcoatl stepped closer to Clark, smiling when Clark audibly gasped as Quetzalcoatl grasped Clark's chin and lifted it upward. He chuckled when Clark still would not look at him. "I won't smite you, you know."
"I know, you are far too kind to do so," Clark said softly, heat spreading through him from the contact of Quetzalcoatl's hand on his chin.
"I wonder if you'd say that if you knew that truth," Quetzalcoatl said so softly, Clark almost missed it.
Slowly, Clark looked up and looked into Quetzalcoatl's eyes, purple and magenta and so warm as they gazed at him.
"That's better," Quetzalcoatl smiled but held onto Clark a little longer.
