Mist Haze smiled at the new landscape, "wow, I sure have been travelling a lot lately" she mused as she trotted in no particular direction. Mist sighed and glanced around, eager to meet some locals or more knowledgeable travellers or anypony that could be a potential new friend. A sudden bolt of giddiness shot through her and she began to skip as she went along her way, "oh I will never get tired of this feeling" she cooed happily to herself as she bounced along. After a moment she stopped and let out a calming sigh, "ok Mist, you do this every time. You go to these far away place without any kind of plan so this time we are going to stop and think, what do we want to do?" Mist said sternly to herself, "make new friends" Mist replayed before bouncing off again with a new sense of purpose but no more sense of direction than she began. |

As Mist trekked across the landscape, The dense jungle would have opened up into a charred, destroyed clearing. All the trees around her were blackened, and the treetop villages of the Quetzalcoatl were present, but only as collapsed, smoking ruins. Pikes with the skulls of the feathered snakes mounted upon them littered the area. Instead of leaves, the dead, decaying bodies of these magnificent beasts hung from the trees. A collapsed Quetzalcoatl treehouse hung limply towards the base of one of the trees, its ladders dragging along the ground. From it, ragged gasps could be heard, and a scaly, snakelike tail bordered by greenish-blue and gold feathers curled out from the door. |

Mist Haze felt like she had ran into a brick wall, the scene before her was incomprehensible, "what happened here" she breathed, her voice cracking as a tear slide down her cheek. Mist glanced around the area, half-expecting the village to suddenly return to its once undamaged state and its inhabitants to return to their daily lives as if everything in front of her was just a scene in a play. Mist mind snapped to reality with a jarring crash as she became aware of the faint sound of life and the implication that somepony needed help. Mist shot toward the injured creature but stopped dead, her hooves hovering over the exposed part of its body, "no...no, Mist you need to calm down first or you could injure the poor thing even worse" she said, taking a calming breath before carefully removing the debris covering the creature and moving it out of the collapsed building. Mist forced herself to smile reassuringly at the snakelike creature and spoke in a soft, soothing voice, "hey, it's ok I'm here to help. Can you understand me? What's your name? I'm Mist Haze, a Pegasus from Equestria. I've never seen anything like you before, you're really beautiful" Mist bit her said, biting her lip to stop herself from asking any more nerve fuelled questions. |

The Quetzalcoatl was in bad shape, and it was quite surprising he hadn't died yet. Most of his body towards the front was a bright cobalt blue, with orange zig-zag markings going down it. Towards his tail, it lightened up to the bluish green and yellow that Mist had seen. He was Itztlicoatl, a great Quetzalcoatl king of the Xiuhcoatl tribe, now reduced to a bloody mess of feathers and scales. He held a wing over his stomach in a feeble attempt to hold his insides into his body, and other gaping wounds covered the creature, those that could only be made by a macuahuitl club. His golden eyes weakly opened, blinking a few times at the pony before him. She was so blurry, and a bright light caused him to squint. It called him...told him to fly towards it. "I....am Itztlicoatl..." He coughed up a small splattering of blood that ran down his beak. "King...of the Xiuhcoatl Quetzalcoatl..." |

"Sssssssssssss....." Charred wood. Burning flesh. Eggs, crushed under hooves.... Llamas. And the mad pony. "SSssSSSssssAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Ixcehel burst from underneath the burning rubble, some of her scars still bleeding as she glanced frantically around. Skulls. Feathers. Ruined houses. A survivor? A looter! Maddened with pain and vengeful fury, Ixchel lunged at the pegasus and wrapped her tightly in her coils. "So you think us SAVAGES, do you pony? YOU DARE TO TORMENT THE DYING?!" She tightened her grip with a snarl. "Then do so in the life beyond! But before I send you on your final flight, answer me this: was your debauchery WORTH the live of the unhatched?!" |

Mist Haze barely saw the movement out of the corner of her eye before the Quetzalcoatl was coaled around her, her speak was impressive given how injured she was, "I didn't do this...I'm trying to help" Mist gasped, panic rising inside her. Mist struggled to breath under the Quetzalcoatl's powerful grip, "please calm down, I realise you are hurt and scared and I can't even begin to imagine how angry you must be but I swear I didn't do this" Mist tried to explain. She could feel her head becoming light, "my name is Mist Haze, I would never harm anypony like this...I came here to make friends and I stumbled across this offal scene...please let me help you" she pleased, looking the Quetzalcoatl in the eyes and smiling weakly. Mist could feel herself about to loose consciousness, "please, Itztlicoatl is hurt badly and needs help" she said, taking slow shallow breaths as the inability to breath comfortably forced her to focus on breathing over speaking. |

Ixchel's features continued to grow more and more hostile as the pony tried to save herself through words alone... until the moment that Itzlicoatl's name was mentioned. For less then a second, her eyes widened. Then she tossed the pegasus aside. "Feh. If you are not the enemy, you are not worth my time." Slithering over to the king, she peered at his injuries. She sighed. "There is no hope for you, great commander. What final commands are yours?" |

Itztlicoatl hissed and shuddered as he prepared to give what could possibly become his last orders to the brave Ixchel. The light he saw was growing brighter and brighter.... "Ixchel..." the blue and orange creature gurgled as he coughed up more blood. "You must lead what remains of your tribe deeper into the jungle...where the heat is too intense for the llamas' thick coats...When the Blood King's rule has ended, repopulate the land, and restore our people to their former glory..." Tears began to roll down the old, bloodied king's cheeks. "And you, pony," he said to Mist. "Accompany Ixchel for today.... You will learn about our culture and anything else you desire..." The light was shining intensely into his eyes, causing him to squint. He wasn't dead yet, but his consciousness was fading quickly... |

Mist Haze rolled as she hit the ground and as soon as she gained her balance, or a close enough semblance at least, she pushed herself up with her forelegs and took several gasping breaths. Her heart still pounding and her breath still slightly laboured, Mist almost didn't hear Itztlicoatl speak, "Bloody King?" she breathed quietly to herself, a feeling she hadn't ever felt before welling inside her. Mist wasn't sure what the feeling was, but she did know she didn't like the thoughts it was causing her to have...terrible thoughts that seemed not to be her own. Mist shook her head and glanced at the two Quetzalcoatl when she realised she was being addressed, "thank you, Itztlicoatl...I'm so sorry I couldn't help you" she said, her voice barely a sob as she looked at the dying creature. Mist sighed and forced herself shakily to her hooves, "I'll learn as much as I can of your culture and I promise I'll make my self as useful to Ixchel and your people as possible" Mist said, shooting the female Quetzalcoatl a weak but warm smile...then the feeling flared up again, "I'll find this so called Bloody King and make him dAnCE WiTH tHe RopE eNgIne TiLL He WeEps spIderS!" Mist pressed her hoof to her head and groaned before looking up confused. "Is their anything I can do for you now?" Mist asked, her voice thick with concern and sadness. |

Ixchel nodded. "For the safety of the clan. Now, great commander... let me grant you a warrior's death." And she lunged. Itztlicoatl's head fell away from his body. Ixchel licked the blood off her beak sadly. Then she turened to the pegasus. "Come. Your task will be to gather the eggs here, under his corpse. They are kept... kept in the center of the homes...." There was silence as she looked at the trees. "...the, the center. Handle them gently, and bring them even if they're dented. They're soft shelled. I... will seek out those who survived. They would trust a familiar face, but your hooves would earn you a swift death." Without any other word, she took to wing, flying over the jungle. |

Mist Haze nodded grimly to Ixchel before silently trotting toward the nearest of the Quetzalcoatls' homes...what was left of it anyway. She carefully picked through the debris until she made it to the center and the clutch of eggs, "sweet Celestia, no..."she breathed, her voice dying in her throat at the site in front of her. The eggs where almost all smashed, maybe two out of the entire clutch were still in tacked and the rest where nothing more than broken shells and the dried remains of un-hatched Quetzalcoatls. Mist cautiously picked up one of the surviving eggs and cradled it gently but securely in her forelegs. She gave the area a look over to make sure nothing could potentially fall on the other egg before flying the egg she was holding out of the broken structure and placing it where Ixchel had told her to. Mist didn't hesitate to regard the body, she was focused on gathering the eggs one by one for maximum safety...she hoped that doing so would not be a quick task. Mist sighed as she placed the last of the eggs with the others, images of Quetzalcoatl families burnt and broken in their homes as she gathered the few of their eggs that remained fresh in her mind as she looked over the depressingly small number of eggs she had gathered. Mist glanced over at the severed head of Itzlicoatl and sighed, "at least you aren't suffering any more...at least I hope not" she mumbled as she placed her hoof on the lifeless head and let a tear slide down her cheek. She looked back at the eggs, "barely seven clutches worth from the entire village, still they're alive...that's something, right?" she sighed, her voice hollow and tired as she became vaguely aware of somepony behind her whom Mist presumed from the fact she wasn't dead yet was Ixchel. |

"¿Quién es este?" hissed a Quetzacoatl as he landed. "¿Por qué ella maneja nuestros huevos?" "Le pregunté a. Ella no es con... los asesinos." Ixchel nodded to Mist, slithering up beside her. "The Coatl are a strong race, pegasus. We have risen from far worse and always have we had our vengeance. Let the dead lie, take care of the living." She had found all of thirteen survivors. One of the winged serpents growled. "No deberíamos dejar a este poni acompañarnos. ¡Ella es una espía para las llamas!" "¡Era el gran comandante de morir fin! No quiero desafiar los muertos." Ixchel snorted. "Encontrar carteras, línea ellos con hojas. Estamos teniendo los huevos con nosotros. You too, pony, try to find soft leaves." |

Mist nodded and set about gathering as many soft leaves as she could find, deciding not to speculate what the Quetzalcoatl where saying in their own language...the hostile glares she was getting where bad enough. Mist sighed, trying not to dwell on the completely understandable hostility being directed at her, "I can't blame them for not wanting me around...still hurts though" she muttered to her self as she clutched a large bundle of leaves to her chest with her foreleg and picked more from the tresses with he other foreleg. After a couple of trips up to the canopy and back Mist had managed to gather a reasonably big pile of soft leaves, "is this enough?" she asked, gesturing to the leaves in front of her. Mist hadn't bothered to ask what they where for, she was just glade to be doing something useful. |

"Yes... Good padding." Ixchel started stuffing the satchels with the soft leaves, forming shock-proof hollows before turning to the eggs. Gently, she put as many as she could into the bag; all around her, the action was being mimicked. In the end, there were 21 bags worth of eggs. Twenty one bags, fourteen Coatl and one pegasus... "Derecho. Seis, llevas tres bolsas cada. El pony llevará a los otros tres, mientras que la protección de mosca del resto. Nosotros te va lento a través del dosel hasta llegar a la red, todavía hay algunos nidos viejos de allí. Si atacan, portadores de huevo retirarse mientras protectores defienden. ¿Entiendo?" "Si." One of the Coatl gave the pegasus a pointed look, but he slung on three of the bags. Ixchel turned to Mist. "You're going to be carrying three satchels. We'll keep to the canopies, it's a decent comprise between maneuverability and camouflage. Don't stop for anything, not until... you don't know what the Network is. Eh, you'll know it when you see it. Saddle up pony." |

Mist Haze nodded and slung the satchels straps over her body, careful of the satchels themselves and the eggs within, "no, I've never heard of this Network or anything around here really, that's why I came here in the first place. To learn..." Mist said as she took to the air and cradled the satchels hanging from her with all four of her legs to ensure they were as safe as possible. Mist glanced around at the Quetzalcoatl flying around her, Ixchel had said they should stay under the canopies of the tress but for camouflage but as far as Mist could tell the bright multicoloured creatures had next to no ability to blend in. Actually, with her green coat Mist could blend into the surroundings better than the natives. It was a slightly amusing thought but Mist decided not to bring it up in case she offended the Quetzalcoatl, "Itztlicoatl said you should go to the deeper part of the jungle, but will it be safe there? I mean, I know he said those that attacked you wouldn't be able to fallow but what about predators and the like?" she asked, keeping her voice low enough that only Ixchel would be able to hear her. This precaution was more to ensure any local dangers didn't hear her then making sure none of the other Quetzalcoatl would hear her...Mist wasn't sure any of them could understand her anyway.
