《Crimson Moon》Vol. 9 - Chapter 4.5: The Two Mayan Heroes
Advertisement
Mayan Empire, 1200 years ago…
The Mayan Empire was the strongest Empire in Meso-America. The Mayans ruled over Mexico and Central America for Hundreds of Years…During that time…a couple of heroes were born…It is said that these two heroes came from Mictlan…and they were the offspring of mighty Gods…
With great spirit and fierce heart…the heroes led to the Mayans to Conquer an enormous land of territory…these heroes were known as the The Two Mayan Heroes…One had the appearance of young woman with brown skin, long curly black hair and bluish eye…The other had appearance of a young man, he had brown skin, long black hair…their names were Xbalanque and Hunahpu…
The Two Mayan Heroes were known for their power and worked as the Mayan King’s Bodyguards…
Xbalanque had a lover named Gabor…he had the same appearance as Alejandro, only with brown skin and black hair…
One night…Xbalanque and Gabor had an important conversation…
“Where are you taking me Gabor?” Xbalanque asks with her eyes blindfolded. She walks holding Gabor’s hand; “Don’t worry dear…it’s somewhere special I promise…”
The couple walks uphill. As they reach the summit, Gabor removes the blindfold on Xbalanque; “We’re here…”
Xbalanque opens her eyes and sees a wonderful view. The night sky is very clear, The full moon illuminates the jungle as mana rises to the sky, similar to fireflies who flies in the sky.
“It’s so beautiful…” Xbalanque looks with joy, Gabor acts cocky; “You like it…this is my favorite hiding spot…I like to climb here to watch the stars…"
"So you had this secret place and you never told me? We've been together for years…how could you?" Xbalanque acts as if she is about to cry. Gabor panics:
"No wait…I was going to tell you but…"
"Just kidding…" Xbalanque teases him. Gabor acts dumbfounded; "Wait…you weren't mad?"
"Of course not…you're so easy to fool…hahaha" Xbalanque laughs, Gabor gets embarrassed:
"Oh come on…you know I always believe in your words…"
"I know…you're so sensitive…"
"And you're crazy…"
"And you love me that way…right?"
"Of course…I love everything about you…"
(BBBAADDUUMMPP)
At that moment, both of them feel their heart rising and look away. Xbalanque asks very shyly; D-D-Do you…really love me?"
"Of course…I love you and I want to spend the rest of my days with you…"
"But I am a God…I will live forever…that means that you will eventually die…"
"I don't care…I'll go to Mictlan…and then we can be together with eternity…so please be my wife…"
Gabor grabs her hand and gives her a necklace made out of gold. Xbalanque cries of happiness; "Of course…you're the first person to look at me as a woman…"
Gabor and Xbalanque kiss passionately and on that night…they united as one….
A few days later…
Xbalanque and Gabor were supposed to get marry on the night of the new moon…however…the king of that time …Payah…father of Calakmul…who has an identical appearance as him…was envious because he too…was in love with Xbalanque….he decided to set up a trap in order to condemn Gabor…
He prayed to the Gods for punishment to the one who stole the Gem of Kukulkan…one night….the King asked Gabor…who was his right hand man to take the Gem because….according to him…it was targeted…
Gabor took the Gem however it was stolen by Payah himself…Payah sentenced Gabor to be punished by the Gods…
Xbalanque found out about the fraud…with great rage…Xbalanque stormed the Mayan Capital and attack the king…she headed the top of the highest pyramid to save her beloved…however…she would face with a great obstacle …

"XBALANQUE!" A beat up Gabor screams as he tries to break free. Xbalanque runs and hugs him:
"GABOR…I AM HERE MY LOVE"
"You must escape…you have attacked a human…the Gods will…"
(BBBOOOMMM)
At that moment the clouds form and cover the sky. Xbalanque holds Gabor as they witness the Giant Feathered Serpent descending upon the earth:
"Xbalanque…why have you broken the sacred rule…Gods should never raise their hand against a human and yet…you dare bring me the evidence here?"
Xbalanque has King Payah tied and beaten. King Payah gets into his knees:
"Oh God Kukulkan…please save me from this sinner…I was just following the law…this man lost the precious gem that you entrusted to us…please have mercy as I was only following the law…"
"SHUT UP…IT WAS YOUR SCHEME AND YOU WILL PAY!" Xbalanque raises her weapon and tries to attack Payah.
"Enough Xbalanque…if you continue this actions you will be punished as well…"
"I don't care…I will save him…" Xbanque prepares to release Gabor.
(SSSLLAASSHH)
At that moment Hunahpu stops her. Xbalanque feels betrayed; "Move brother…I'm just save him…"
"I won't…sister…respect the judgment imposed by Kukulkan…"
"I WON'T…I WILL SAVE HIM!" Xbalanque charges at Hunahpu. Hunahpu easily stops her:
"You're letting your emotions control you…stop this…"
"Xbalanque…it's okay…I'm prepare to die…but please…don't be sad…because I am not…in fact…I am happy because…I got to meet you…" Gabor smiles at her.
"NNOOO I CAN SAVE YOU!"Xbalanque screams. Hunahpu uses the opportunity to take her and Payah and jump off the temple.
"Gabor…you have been found guilty for losing the Gem of Kukulkan…therefore, your punishment is death…"
Kukulkan prepares to release a mana breath. Xbalanque tries to break free:
"NOOO GABOR!!!"
Gabor looks at her an smiles; "I love you!"
(BBBOOOMMM)
Kukulkan destroys the altar with a mana breath attack. Gabor disappears without any trace. Xbalanque looks at the flames with tears in her eyes:
"GGGGAAABBBOOORRR!!!!"
Xbalanque stands up and summons her mace; "KUKULKAN! YOU WILL PAY!"
"SISTER WAIT" Hunahpu tries to stop her but Xbalanque jumps with great force.
"You dare face me in battle…very well then…you will also be punished!" Kukulkan prepares to attack once again. At that moment, a golden rope ties Xbalanque and pins her into the ground:
"W-W-Why…brother?"
Xbalanque cries. Hunahpu walks towards her; "Because it is the law…"
Hunahpu looks at Kukulkan; "Lord Kukulkan please forgive my sister for the wrong that she did…please spare her life…"
"Very well…Hunahpu…I will honor your request, however the ruler of Mictlan must pass on the punishment…"
"That I will…" Xbalanque and Hunahpu look at her mother, La Catrina, walking towards them. She wears a Mayan noble attire for woman and she is in her skeleton form:
"Xbalanque…you dare raise a hand to a human…something that is forbidden…you will be exiled from the land of the living…"
Xbalanque opens her eyes wider; “No…” Hunahpu lets go of her; “I’m sorry sister…but it's the law…”
“I know…”
“Judgment has been passed…” Kukulkan flies to the clouds and disappears.
Xbalanque stands up, La Catrina looks at Xbalanque; “I’m sorry dear…but you will have to leave the Land of the Living…”
“I understand…but I need to go to a place first…”
Xbalanque goes to Gabor's secret spot and buries the Golden necklace…she vows to find him one day…Souls who are killed by Gods don’t go to Mictlan…meaning that Gabor’s soul turn into mana…
Xbalanque spent 2000 years looking for his soul in Mictlan…One day, while she was looking, she found a human with the same characteristics as his lover…and that human was Alejandro…

Xbalanque’s room
After Xbalanque and Alejandro talked…Xbalanque told him her story…
“I see…so you believe that I am his reincarnation?” Alejandro asks Xbalanque. She looks at the ground; “Yes...to be honest, I saved you because I thought you were him...then I received orders from my mother to bring you here...I’m sorry…”
“Hey don’t be...at the end...you saved me…” Alejandro smiles at her. Xbalanque remembers Gabor. She stands up and pulls Alejandro towards her; “Hey...what are you…” Alejandro opens his eyes wider as Xbalanque kisses him with passion.
(BADUMP BADUMP)
As they separate Xbalanque looks at Alejandro in the eyes; “Please...stay here with me...I like you…” Xbalanque kisses him once more, Alejandro is in shock; “Oh wow...I can feel her tongue...is this really it? Are we going to…” Alejandro slowly closes his eyes. At that moment, he sees an image of a girl with purple hair. The girl is Valerie who turns around and smiles at him.
Immediately, Alejandro pushes Xbalanque away; “I’m sorry but I already have someone I love...and besides...I am not Gabor…” Xbalanque looks surprised, she begins to cry; “You’re right...I was trying to use you...I’m sorry…please forgive me…”
“Everything’s fine...don’t worry…” Alejandro smiles at her. Xbalanque teases him; “So is my body not good enough for you.” Alejandro panics; “Oh no...you have a great body it's just…”
“Relax, I'm just playing…” Xbalanque chuckles, Alejandro looks relieved, he stands up and heads to the door; “I should probably get some rest…”
“Sounds good” Xbalanque looks at Alejandro and thinks; “Even though you're different...you are still the same as he was…”
*****************************************************************
A few hours before…
As the group left for Xibalba...Xbalanque had a request to make to La Catrina…
“Mother...I have a request…”
“You want to help them...right?” La Catrina asks Xbalanque; “ How did you know?”
“Fufufu...I am your mother after all...very well...even though it's forbidden...I shall give you permission for a couple of hours…” La Catrina gives permission to Xbalanque,Xbalanque stands up with happiness; “Thank you mother”
“I shall go as well…” Hunahpu steps forward; “But brother...it's against the law...” Hunahpu approaches towards her and pats her head; “A long time ago...I couldn't help you...Now I will atone myself by helping you...and besides...I want to test my abilities with the Judges…”
“Alright...thank you brother…”
Xbalanque and Hunahpu headed towards Xibalba...When they reached the town of El Diablo...they encountered Anastasia and Emma...They made a plan in order to rescue their friends...Once the army was ready...Hunahpu threw a signal into the air...a flare in order for Anastasia to make her move…
*****************************************************************
Outside of Popol Vuh…
Xbalanque and Hunahpu stand outside of the Capital of Xibalba…Popol Vuh…they have an army of Alebrijes and Soldiers, ready to attack. Standing in front of them, two of the Judges of Xibalba…Teotlale of the Desert and Nextepehua of the Ashes…along with an army of Sombras and Arahnezes soldiers.
“The two mayan heroes…what brings you to Xibalba?” Nextepehua asks as he and Teotlale walk forward.
Hunahpu shows respect; “Greetings, we have come here to retrieve one of our guests who happened to be here in Popol Vuh…”
“I’m afraid that your guests have trespassed without permission…therefore, they are being held prisoners…”
“YEAH…SO WHY DON’T YOU TURN AROUND AND LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!” Telltale makes fun of them. Xbalanque gets angry and moves forward but she is stopped by Hunahpu; “We understand about the situation but I am afraid…we cannot let you have them…”
(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)
At that moment, a giant sword cuts the castle in half. Telltale and Nextepehua look back with a shocking expression:
“WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?”
Xbalanque smiles and bends her legs. Without warning, Xbalanque charges through the army, and summons a golden mace. -PUM PUM PUM- Xbalanque crosses with great speed, taking down multiple adversaries as she heads towards the city.
“WHAT THE…YOU’RE NOT GOING TO ESCAPE!” Teotlale uses his power to summon a giant wave of sand, the sand heads towards Xbalanque. At that moment, Hunahpu appears and with his flames, he cuts the sand:
“Sorry…but I am your opponent.” Hunahpu swings his golden lance covered in flames. Nextepehua summons his ash and tries to attack him, Hunahpu makes a sinister smile and with his lance, he cuts the ashes with ease:
“Sorry but that won’t work on me…”
“Hunahpu…why are you standing in our way? Are you in favor of those humans?”
Hunahpu chuckles as he shakes his head; “To be honest…I could care less what happens to those humans…”
“THEN WHY ARE YOU HELPING HER?”
“Because, you skeleton idiot…I respect my sister’s wishes and if she chooses to help them…I will help her…that’s all there is to it…” Hunahpu releases a fierce red mana and spins his lance; “Very well…it’s been a long time since I fought two powerful adversaries…how about if we get this show on the road…”
“HAHAHA…VERY WELL BOY…LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!” Teotlale releases yellow mana. Nextepehua also releases a gray mana as he walk forward:
“You will be judged by my ashes…”
“I look forward to that…”
Hunahpu clashes with the two judges creating a giant explosion. The armies charge and collide with each other as well.
Meanwhile, Xbalanque manages to cross the army and reaches the doors of the city. Xbalanque walks slowly as she looks around:
“That’s weird…I thought there was going to be more people…”
“That’s because I went ahead and evacuated them…” Xbalanque hears someone behind him.
(BBBOOOMMM)
She turns around to hit the figure but the figure is not there. The force destroys the pillar and the gates; “That’s weird…I thought I heard someone…”
“Oh you did…it was me…” Xbalanque opens her eyes wider and sees a man covered in bandages:
“I-I-It can’t be…Necucyaolt…”
“It’s been a while…Xbalanque…”
Xbalanque looks angry; “Why are you here…you’re the one who sabotaged the king…”
“Oh no…you’re wrong…I was only acting upon Lord Xolotl’s will…believe that it wasn’t on purpose…”
“Yeah right…I know you’re lying…” Xbalanque attacks the Judge. -BBBOOOMMM- She sends him flying towards a building.
“Now that was a nice hit…”
“What the…” Xbalanque sees him walking behind her, Xbalanque looks at the building with a hole. Xbalanque chuckles; “So that’s one of your abilities huh…splitting your body the moment of attack…”
“Oh so you remember that’s good…but let me tell you this…you won’t survive if you keep attacking us…”
“Says who?” Xbalanque charges at him. Necucyaotl’s eyes shine bright and immediately grabs Xbalanque and slams her into the ground.
(PPPUUMM)
“Listen girl…right now…you are at a disadvantage…one false move and you could end up dead…”
“SHUT UP!”
(BBBOOOOMMM)
Xbalanque releases a light blue lighting and holds her mace tightly:
“I will avenge Gabor…”
“Oh Gabor…I remember him…” Necucyaotl jumps back, Xbalanque attacks, Necucyaotl dodges her; “Impressive…you’re faster than before my girl…have you been training?”
“I have…and I will beat you…”
“Unfortunately you won’t…you know why?”
(CCCRRASSSHHHH)
Necucyaotl cuts Xbalanque’s arm; “Becuase you will work for me…”
(BBBAADDUUUMMPP)
Xbalanque’s eyes turn black as she feels heavy; “N-N-Noo…”
“Let me tell you a secret…the one who turned into Gabor was you…”
“NNNNOOOOO!!!!”

Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).
