Temple of the Sun…
El Muerto captured everyone who was in the Temple group except for Ana who managed to escape thanks to Antoine and Leticia who became a sacrifice in order to revive Tezcatlipoca…
“Where am I?” Antoine opens his eyes. “Grand Frère” (Big Brother) Madeleine and Marinette hug Antoine crying. Antoine looks around and sees Angel, Crespo and Stefan in a cage.
“What happened here? The last thing that I remember is that Ana managed to escape…and Leticia…”
“Leticia became a sacrifice…” Stefan looks down, Dr. Escobar regains consciousness, she looks around and smiles; “Thank goodness, you’re all okay…”
“Dr. Escobar, why did you give us in?” Stefan looks enraged. Dr Escobar opens her eyes wider; “I don’t know what you are talking about?”
Stefan stands up with anger; “YOU DON’T KNOW? DON’T PLAY DUMB, HE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT IT! YOU AND DR. ORTIZ PLANNED TO SEPARATE US FROM THE OTHERS AND REVIVE TEZCATLIPOCA! IT’S YOUR FAULT THAT LETICIA IS DEAD!”
Everyone looks confused, Dr. Escobar cries; “It’s true, that man threatened my husband and I with our lives if we didn’t do this…I’m sorry, I didn’t want this to happen…”
-TCH- Stefan cries as he remembers Leticia. Antoine looks at the others; “Okay guys, we are in a difficult situation, does anyone have a plan?”
“Of course not, you cheese smeller, we have our hands tied…and this cage prevents us from using mana…”
“Hey don’t say that you imbeciles…my brother saved your sister's lives…” Marinette responds, everyone looks at each other with killing intent.
“You guys are hopeless…” Stefan shakes his head.
(RRRAAAAWWWWW)
They hear a loud roar, El Muerto walks towards them; “You guys have to be more considerate with your teacher, you guys would have done the same am I right? Even in this situation, you’re still fighting…talk about pathetic…”
Madeleine acts tough; “Let us go…we’re part of the Mages Association, if something happens to us…”
“War could break out right? I have that in my mind…Don’t worry, I won’t kill you…but I can’t let you go just yet…”
(RRRRAAAWWW)
Quetzalcoatl roars as he is being chained in a special wall. El Muerto looks at it and says:
“So, this is what happens when God corrupts himself with anger.”
“My Brother sure is foolish, corrupting himself like that…” Tezcatlipoca walks towards El Muerto. Everyone is in shock upon seeing the Aztec God.
Adihe opens his eyes and looks for his sister:
“Where is Xochitl?”
(RRRAAAWWWW)
“QUETZI!” Adihe runs to Quetzalcoatl, Quetzalcoatl struggles. Adihev looks worried; “What happened to him?”
“He was corrupted by the rage he felt…little one…” Tezcatlipoca approaches Adihe; “You’re the Guardian Jaguar?”
“Indeed I am, it’s been a long time…where is the little girl with the flower name?”
Adihe looks down; “I don’t know…I can’t remember anything…”

“I see, you’re still too young to be handling that kind of power, it could kill you…that brother of mine is foolish…Hey, damn snake, come to your senses…” Tezcatlipoca hits Quetzalcoatl with his paw. -POOF- Quetzalcoatl turns back into a black snake with red eyes:
“Where am I? Tezcatlipoca? You are alive brother…”
“Shut up you foolish brother, I can’t believe that anger dominated you…it reminds me of the time I tricked you into getting drunk and you…”
“Shut up, you damned cat…”
“HAHAHA…”
“What’s going on? The Gods are fighting among each other…” Stefan looks impressed and he takes out a notebook, writing notes.
“Hey, this is no time for that…” Antoine scolds him. The others look scared as they see two Aztec Deities in the same place.
Quetzalcoatl looks at Adihe; “I’m sorry…I failed to protect you and your sister…”
“Don’t worry Quetzi…for now, let’s see where my sister is…” Adihe looks at El Muerto; “I see that you’re done talking, very well…”
El Muerto takes out the same device Kasumi has, the “Translanguaging.” El Muerto activates it for everyone to understand; “This device belongs to Yggdrasil, I stole it from one of their members…with this, language barrier does not exist anymore.”
Adihe looks at El Muerto and asks; “Where is Xochitl?”
“She has been taken hostage, but don’t worry I will get her for you. For now I want to know what exactly happened to you siblings and Quetzalcoatl.”
“Can you understand me?” Adihe asks surprised, El Muerto nods in agreement; “I promise that I would go and save your sister…but first, I need you to tell us your story…” Adihe looks down as he remembers what happened that night.
“It’s okay…tell them…”
Quetzalcoatl says to Adihe, Adihe looks up.he notices everyone looking at him:
“I will tell you”
***************************************************************************
500 Years Ago- Mexico…
“Hurry mother” Xochitl and Adihe shout with excitement as they go up to the temple.
In the interior of the temple they encounter with the wall painting of 5 Aztec Deities: Quetzalcoatl the Feathered Serpent, Tezcatlipoca the Black Jaguar, Huitzilopochtli the Green Hummingbird, Tlaloc the Blue Rain Salamander and Xipototec the Orange Guardian Dog .
Their mother, whose face is hard to see, puts their offerings to the Aztec Gods. Xochitl looks at her mother:
“Mother, why do we give offerings to the Gods?”
Adihe and Xochitl’s mother was a beautiful woman with a slim body, brown skin and long black hair…her face is yet to be revealed….
“Well you see, we give them offerings and they protect us.”
“But why can't we see them?” Adihe asks her mother. She smiles and rubs his head saying:
“Well you see they will always protect us even if can’t see them, they are always watching over us”

“I wish I could see them…” Adihe looks at Quetzalcoatl’s painting. Their mother stands up and walks to the door:
“Come along children…your father is waiting…”
“Papa…you’re right…” Xochitl runs and holds her hand. Adihe walks towards, suddenly, he hears a voice:
“Beware…Beware…”
Adihe looks back scared; “What was that?”
“Adihe, is something wrong?” Their mother asks, Adihe turns around and shakes his head. They continue walking as Adihe wonders what that voice was.
***************************************************************************
Later that night…
“AHHHHHH” Adihe hears screams. He opens his eyes and sees a red light coming from the outside. Xochitl is looking outside with tears in her eyes.
“Xochitl what's going on?” Adihe asks her but she is too frightened to answer. Xochitl answers with a low tone.
“The capital is on fire ” Adihe looks at the door and sees the great pyramid of Tenochtitlan on fire along with the capital. Their house is located on the outskirts. Adihe and Xochitl run as fast as they can as they see men on horses killing their fellow natives.
“Where is our mother?” Xochitl asks Adihe as they run for their lives.
They encounter a fellow Aztec Native; “Where is our mother? What is happening?”
“RRRAAWWW” Adihe notices that his eyes are red; “It can’t be…Xochitl, run…”
The Aztec Native picks up his sword trying to slash the siblings; “GGYYYAAHHH”
“XXXOOOCCHHHIIITTLLLL” Adihe grabs Xochitl and they jump off the hill, dodging the sword. They roll down the hill; “Big Brother, I’m scared…”
Adihe hugs Xochitl, both of them continue to head towards the temple as the killing continues; “Xochitl, close your eyes…we must head to where mother is…”
Adihe and Xochitl hide from the men on horses and arrive at the
“We need to head to the temple, Xochitl”
Adihe and Xochitl arrive at the temple by using a secret pathway that their mother taught them.
“MAMA!” Xochitl screams as they see their mother with the Emperor of the Aztecs tied up by the Conquistadores.
“HIJOS!” Their mother screams.
“GENERAL CORTES! TENEMOS INTRUSOS!” (General Cortes, we have intruders!)The man who calls himself Cortes walks towards them. He is accompanied by two soldiers, one has red eyes and the other has green eyes.
“General, que hacemos con ellos?” (General, what do we do with them?)
“Matenlos…” (Kill them…)
Adihe opens his eyes wider. Xochitl within her eyes, screams; “NOO…PAAA…”
(RRRRAAAAWWW)
Suddenly the Five Gods Emerge from the Temple as Cortes smiles:
“Son Verdaderos, esos Dioses existen!!!” (They are real, those Gods do exist!)
“RUN AWAY CHILDREN '' Their mother screams with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly the Red eye man in armor walks towards the children and draws out his sword:
“Run now or I´ll kill you!”
Xochitl begins to cry, calling out for her mother. Adihe steps in front to protect her sister, the man is about to swing his sword when suddenly Quetzalcoatl releases an attack to prevent it from happening.
Suddenly the temple begins to collapse Adihe and Xochitl fall, however before they fall they see their mother smiling as she says:
“I LOVE YOU!”
(BOOOOMMMM)
The temple collapsed. At that night the Aztec Empire fell by the hands of the Conquistador named Cortes.
(DRIP,DRIP,DROP,DROP)
Rain begins to fall waking Adihe and Xochitl, who survived the night thanks to a pillar who covered them.
“Xochitl, are you alright?” Adihe asks as he stands up. Xochitl nods in agreement; “Where is mother?”
“I don’t know, we need to look for her…”
Adihe and Xochitl decided to look for their mother. They walk slowly seeing all the destruction.
“It can’t be…our home…”
“Busquen sobrevivientes y matenlos!” (Find survivors and kill them)
Adihe and Xochitl hide from the other conquistadores in search of their mother.
“Adihe, I’m scared…” Xochitl cries, Adihe holds her hand and smiles; “Don’t worry, your big brother is here…”
“Help me!” Adihe and Xochitl hear someone calling them. They see a snake with colorful scales at the size of a hand bleeding.
The children get closer; “Who are you?”
“I am Quetzalcoatl…” The snake replies, the children look surprised. Adihe picks the serpent; “It can’t be, you are our guardian God…”
“We need to escape…”
The children nod and decide to return to their home. As they arrive at what it was once their home, they see that it was brought down and destroyed.
Xochitl cries; “Waa…mama…papa…”
Adihe with tears in his eyes makes a fist; “That man will pay…”
“Oh my, I found Quetzalcoatl…” The children look at the lake and see a woman walking towards.
The woman covers her eyes, she has a classy outfit consisted of a long dress with sleeves, worn over a underdress. The sleeves were made detachable and were heavily ornamented. The long-waisted silhouette of the previous period was replaced by a high-waisted style with fullness over the belly, often confined by a belt.
“It looks like the two of you survived, what a surprise.” The woman smiles.
“W-W-Who is she?” Adihe asks, feeling the enormous amount of mana.
“RUN AWAY SHE IS THE RED WITCH '' Quetzalcoatl screams. The children start to run
The Red Witch raises her hand and chants: “Sigillum Sueno” (Slumber seal)
A red light shines sealing the three of them into four separate crystals.
“That should do it, now sleep that you will be needed again in the future” The Red Witch smiles as she walks down the path towards a Volcano.

Apocalypse at Mighty Max
God sold us out and the world ended... well, sort of. God may have sold us, or at least, our universe but our world didn't end. Instead, the new owners decided to play, and we all know what that means: Monsters, a System, Magic, Cultivation, and, of course, two new moons! Thanks for reading! I appreciate the interest. This is a rough draft and is intended to flesh out some ideas for a novel that I had. Maybe figure out if I want to do this author thing, you know? If you want immediately OP MCs, fights every chapter, a harem, this is not the story for you. Sorry about that. If you're willing to put up with a long growth curve, an MC that doesn't know what he's doing most of the time but is trying his best both to survive and to help his friends survive, you might enjoy the story. I'm just trying to have fun, maybe create something that in a second draft I can sell on the eBook market. If you're not into that, not into providing helpful comments for revisions, hey, that's cool, but do us both a favor and stop reading now. ** Oh, release schedule For the first weeks, I'll be releasing a chapter (1800-3000 words) a day. Following that, I'll be releasing whenever the mood strikes me. If I get some feedback, the mood might strike me more often, hint! hint!
