╚══════════════. ☾.═══╝
KINGDOM OF TECA At the palace courtyard late at night, the moon was full and Maya held a tray with orange petals and her brothers broken weapons. Music began to play, and Maya sighs as she looks down at the tray. Women and children began to sing and dance in a a rain of orange petals to honor the now dead army and the Jaguars.
Maya walked through the dancing crowd to her mother and father were kneeling down to a statue, the children and women danced as orange petals few and danced around along with them.
"In this realm and the great beyond, you honor us with your sacrifice, brothers." Maya says as she sets the tray down. She kneels down to touch each of the broken weapons, before sitting back between her parents.
The music soon began to die down and the crowd soon left, followed by the parents but Maya just sat there, by her side (Y/n) sat as well not wanting to leave her best friend behind to grieve alone.
The sky fogged up but Maya didn't see the need to focus on it, however (Y/n) looks up blinking away the tears that had formed, and notice that the sky had cleared slightly letting a ray of moonlight to come down. From there a single orange butterfly lands on Maya's head but it doesn't faze her.
Just as (Y/n) was about to bow her head back down, both she and Maya raised their heads up hearing a jaguars' snarl.
Maya looks up to the statue, and starts to cry guilt washes over, "Lo siento, mis hermanos. If it wasn't for the prophecy, I would have been there to fight by your side."
(Y/n) sadly looks towards her placing her hand on Maya's shoulder. As she did liquid gold soon came out of each the jaguar statues eyes. Maya and (Y/n) followed the trail.
"Rooster."
"Skull."
"Puma?" Maya and (Y/n) reads. (Y/n) looks at it confused and gets up to inspect it some more while Maya repeats Rooster, Skull, Puma. The jaguars snarl once again and the moonlight was covered.
