Ch 16: Talk is Overrated
The seventh heaven
"Well this seems to be a good approach to things." Ixtlilton frowned at the black slab called the obsidian Rock.
"What approach?"
"One of carelessness."
"Staying the hell out of it is what this is called."
"But are we not going to warn the poor creatures?"
"The mother ship should be warning enough."
"They are healing from their last…thwarting."
"This has become a challenge indeed… I like it."
"Just like our demigod to give us a real challenge."
"Yes."
"Those damn Japanese Goddeses. Their Dragons are annoying."
"I wonder who could have dealt with them."
"The moon is vain." Xochiquetzal, Goddess of Beauty, shook her head.
"You think she is the traitor?" Metzli frowned.
"She claims everything for nothing. What shall we do about her?"
"Nothing. She will kill herself off soon."
"Then we will be left to choose a new moon." Macuilxochitl, Queen of the Dead, was almost smiling.
"Let that time come when it must. For now…the rising threat to this entire civilization is bearing down on the people and they know virtually nothing of it." Mictlantecuhtle, Lord of the Dead, waved a hand at his wife. She hissed.
"Should we send a sign?"
"No." Quetzalcoatl, God of Knowledge, sighed.
"Yes." Paynal, messenger god to the Sun, smiled. Any chance to go to the world below.
"What?" Meztli's eyes grew larger.
"Idiots." Ixtliltonalmost laughed. "you never know what you want."
The gods circled the stone again, this time to stay here for days. They had been arguing, thinking, and devising ways to achieve their goal. Goal? To change the fate of an empire with…Love. Make the great City last longer and connect the world in the future. Now they were working against the Moon Goddess and her cohorts the Japanese Goddesses. They worked against Fate and her sisters. And now they were out of ideas. The time was passing and they had no idea what to do.
"Why can't we kill the Moon?
"The world would be destroyed idiot"
"Should we send that little star to be the moon? Nelli I believe was her name?"
"No. we cannot. She is…returned to her former life."
"Yes we cannot destroy her heart again. So…"
"I almost for thoughts."
"we as well. But this new distraction….this Queen thing….is going to be a problem."
"that damn moon…"
"can we be sure it was her?"
"not the Egyptian Gods or the Japanese?"
"no they would simply do something cataclysmic as is the Egyptian way. Plagues and disease and such. And the Japanese would send their Underwater Palace. It is the way of the moon lately to do these things."
"so we will…."
"I've no clue."
"Me either."
"Mayahuel said to make love change the world. We may not be able to save the lovers but it was the course of an empire she wanted saved."
"So we save an empire by…killing the creature."
"A girl with the power of influence and a Hunter with the Weeping Spear."
"Oh…I see."
