Warning: vague plot

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ternyata seperti ini.”

Jari-jari Daybit bergerak menelusuri paha kanan Tezcatlipoca. Tepatnya, dia meraba tepat di bagian paha yang sekarang tidak menyisakan apa pun selain bekas potongan berwarna hitam mengilap. Serangan mendadak yang dilancarkan para Deinos liar beberapa waktu yang lalu lebih parah daripada yang selama ini terjadi; sesuatu yang lolos dari perhitungan si pemuda bermata ungu. Selama beberapa saat, dia bisa menangkis rahang-rahang mereka yang penuh gigi tajam dengan bantuan ‘teman-teman’nya. Tapi, para Deinos itu terus mendesaknya mundur ke satu titik di hutan yang amat terpencil hingga punggungnya menabrak sebuah pohon besar.

Just Like An Action HeroAmong the countless invention made by modern civilization, Tezcatlipoca was particularly drawn to movies.

No matter where he was, whether observing from his Grand Berserker throne or receiving it as part of Pan-Human History knowledge when he walked on Earth in his modern man vessel, the god made sure that he had the time to appreciate movies. A projection of moving slides, camera tricks, and exhilarating background music. Handsome actor done his role as a noble hero to answer the call of the leading lady, while dastardly villain plotted the hero’s demise behind the shadow. Much like the the Aztecs’ dance-play entertainment, a movie’s plot had acts. Tension escalated as the act progressed, reaching its climax as the hero confronted the villain in a dramatic battle, and ending with a charade of explosion as the hero walked away with the heroine in his embrace. Then the credit rolled, and Tezcatlipoca clapped and shouted “Bravo” with the widest smile on his face.
