Huitzilopochtli made this world...

that is... when he made it, he sent his incarnations to make this
world... but the world was cold and dark

You say in xyllic:
then one of his incarnations, Nanahuatzin, cast himself into a big fire,
and rose to the sky
You say in xyllic:
and then there was a sun. but the sun did not move.
You say in xyllic:
so the other incarnations of Huitzilopochtli sacrificed their blood
You say in xyllic:
and the sun started to move, fed by the sacrifice of their blood
You smile friendly.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
ahh,, so he needs the blood of the believers to help the sun moving?

ahh

and are you doing that too?

but I'm not a priest, if that was your question

You say in xyllic:
so you would like to worship the true god?
You smile questioningly at Julchen.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
yes I would love to

You say in xyllic:
unfortunately the shrine is not only a holy but also a secret place
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
I needed some informations, though and you gave them to me and made my
head clear for it

You emote: Crotalo thoughtfully looks down.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
I know that it is secret
Julchen twirls in her curls thoughtfully.

You say in xyllic:
you will need the permission of a priest to enter the place... and your
soul should be prepared for the meeting...
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
Is it dangerous to go there?

: you will need a very evil alignment. but do not expect me to call that evil, for crotalo "damned" means "holy" ;)

You say in xyllic:
Dangerous? only for enemies...
You chuckle politely.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
I heard it is in a jungle far away and the way is awful dangerous

You say in xyllic:
well... there is certainly a shrine in the jungles as well... I have
never been there...
You smile silently.

You say in xyllic:
but there is also a place nearby, where we worship our Lord

You say in xyllic:
only... as I said, it is secret... and I may not show it to you without
the permission of a priest

I understand

You nod understandingly.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
Im very young, so its better to keep that secretly
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
but as a follower of him you are surly used to secrets
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
no I cannot read and write, well I never tried to

You say in xyllic:
I just wanted to suggest that you write a letter to Gemini... he is a
priest who cares a lot for young followers...
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
you mean a mail?
You nod solemnly.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
oh good idea, I will do that

You say in xyllic:
erm... so you will learn reading and writing soon?
You chuckle politely.
Julchen nods solemnly.

You say in xyllic:

ones are fast learners...
You twinkle your eyes merrily at Julchen.
Julchen smiles happily.

You say in xyllic:

a bit.

Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:

You say in xyllic:
Hm... writing is not really that difficult... you should begin with
drawing parts of letters... or single easy letters...
You say in xyllic:
start writing pages full of o's, e's and u's
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
oh ok

You say in xyllic:
then single words... and then try copying a page from a book
You say in xyllic:
I think you will learn that quite easily...
You twinkle your eyes merrily at Julchen.
Julchen smiles at you.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
thank you
You ruffle Julchen's hair playfully.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
you helped me a lot

You stretch your legs and stand up gracefully.
Julchen sighs relievedly.
You say in xyllic:
well... I have to leave...
You hear the bells of the Padorn Cathedral in the distance.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:

You say in xyllic:

Julchen waves happily.
Julchen lisps furtively in xyllic:
