Faith, And Determination

[Nathaniel Maxwell 66]

Within the Ancient Jungle, the Two Crimson Suns Loomed...

 

The Tigerasi's enormous form was eclipsed by the light, the constricting feeling in his chest intensifying as the all too familiar eyes bore down their pressuring gaze upon him.

"...Come to your senses, have you now, Yhl'?"

The Divine Being's form began to solidify, the shadowy essence that enshrined his form now gradually fading as he descended upon his perch to rest, now at level with the Aelkos's eyes.

"Do you now see the need for your faith in our Glorious Work?"

"Descendant from on high, you are the salvation of we Kharajyr. My faith has never faltered.", the Yhl's voice Rumbled, though only a fraction of the strength of the voice of Teuzauhtototl, Divine Beast of Faith and Devotion.

"A genuine faith is good, Yhl', but far too Quiet for what is needed."

The Aelkos bowed his head, unfortunately illustrating Teuzauhtototl's point...

"...However, your unbreakable will may indeed make all the difference.

I know that you understand the responsibility of carrying my blessing,

and perhaps that shat suffice."

The canopy of the Jungle became enshrouded in darkness, the only light now the two intense eyes that stared into the very soul of the Aelkos.

...Before tiny, shimmering stars began to manifest, forming a wonderous constellation as the sky overhead brightened from the formation of the new moon, the Symbol of  Teuzauhtototl, as the Tigerasi felt the new power well within his soul.

"Your effort is irreplaceable, Yhl'. Go now, and be my Glorious Mouth, that you would spread our Muuna's Gospel to our people."

And soon enough, the Aelkos found himself back within the home of his pride, exhausted, but wearing a satisfied smile upon his face, for he knew that he now carried with him the Blessing of Teuzauhtototl.
