Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 6: The Aztec Capital Of Tenochtitlan

(A city which was the capital of the expanding Aztec Empire in the 15th century)

Tenochtitlan, 1521 A.D.

Now called Mexico City, the Aztec built their capital city on Lake Texcoco. They were able to settle there because no one else wanted the land, and eventually they made it work so they could grow crops.

But soon enough, this dream of building the capital of Tenochtitlan to yet another beautiful city to the Aztecs, collapsed right in front of them, and they somehow were not being able to defend themselves from these created conflicts.

It wasn't until the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés succeeded in bringing about the fall of the city, trying to bring an end to the Aztec civilization. It meant this city isn't such a beautiful one like Babylon right now, which makes my heart beat faster right away.

It's a city that's burning up in flames, almost destroyed, and taken over my forces you don't want to mess with right now. With seeing this, you almost want humankind to find us a new home.

There are a lot of fights going on between the citizens, you don't even know where to see a hint of light sparkling into the night. And it comes with unfortunately a lot of deaths, and pain, feeling torn apart by it.

This fight began because of some events that happened in the past, and while the Eternals settled here because Deviants wanted to strike again, they saw it all happening without being able to interfere.

They saw the want for power, because power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick, a shadow on the wall, and a very small man can cast a very large shadow.

It's where chaos erupted itself, because chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder, and many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall wil break them, while some are given a chance to climb it anyhow.

However, I am luckily not standing in the middle of this chaos, but I still see it going on in this forest just outside the city. The fighting is contuining itself like nobody's watching, but right now everyone is, almost making it's way into the woods, ruining the beautiful trees that once stood there.

Somehow I dream a lot about being in the past, living a life in some periods of time I never got the chance to do so, but there are places I rather not be, and unfortunately our history is one of them. If I could stop this horror, I would've.

The Eternals had their chance, but they were busy wiping out the last Deviants whom were here. There was actually no reason anymore for them to stay together after this last fight against the monsters, but yet it was their hardest goodbye.

The gunshots and horrible screams filled my ears again, as I am standing besides Druig from the past in the forest, standing next to his fellow Eternals while they're hiding from the fight. Unfortunately, he just watched as these soldiers came running and screaming into the woods to fight each other to the death even more, bringing pain and suffering for the Eternals to watch.

This world was overflowing with horrible things, but they're all a tray of cakes next to death.

The mind controller knowing, he couldn't handle any of it, which made him glow his eyes gold immediately to control their actions. My heart skipped a beat because of him, seeing this as a sign he wanted to help these people, before he was stopped by the Prime Eternal.

"Don't. We don't interfere in their wars." She warned him sternly, hearing her voice as coldly as he was, and the gold slowly faded in his eyes anyhow. However, it still made him sigh because of her warning, not wanting to let anyone control him.

He didn't want to listen to his leader. He didn't want to see them killing each other so easily, but there was nothing he could do about it. I started to get worried for him, even tho I can't possibily stop his past.
