"I could have taken them," Eris says as if to convince herself that its true, not mentioning how scared she was when she lost her powers, it made her feel like she was back in the hospital again, scared, scared and feeling like prey. She looks around warily at the community as she attempts to match up all the scents with their causes, as well as to etch the scent of the Gencons in her mind to get more advance warning of an attack.

Eris accepts the cloak with a haughty smile, wrapping it around herself in a single fluid gesture, "Thank you." she murmurs as she puts her cup to her lips, wondering if it was a good time to mention food.

"Much better," Domi says as her feet leave the ground again, "How did those gencons do that?"
They were obviously dog-like, but not related to any species I know.

She takes a look around the village, trying to spot her friends and admiring the sight. When the healer pulls out his herbs, Domi immediately starts to take notes and makes some quick sketches of the leaf-structure.

"Euhm, could someone bring me to my friends? This place is very nice and all but I really don't want to see them sacrifised, she asks Slicer.

The priest/doctor/medicine man (whatever he is) cheks over Domis scratches from the fall.
"They are no natural species. The King once told me that they where created to guard the machine before he arrived here."
The two lower claws Slicer's torso sprouts do something that could resemble a shrug and he hurries of towards the pyramid in the center of the village.
"I will see about your friends."

Sir Osis of Liver said:
Chamber takes the girls hand and gets to his feet, Thanks, Concha, you can call me Jono.

Handing Jono a cup of well it is probably some kind of tea.., the girl laughs.
"Jono, fine. I love your accent. Are you hungry? Or do you eat at all? That light there looks a bit like you might not. Like Nymph, did you know that she lives on sunlight like a plant does?"

The very good looking an nearly naked man who handed Eris the tea allready started staring at her like in trance. To his credit it took a full three seconds before he fell under her spell.
Brighteyes pure golden eyes fall on you and he seems to carefully think about your words.
"Quetzalcoatl is with you. If anyone can take them it is you."

"Aw, that hurts. What do you mean with 'guard the machine'? What machine?" Domi asks the medicine man, then it dawns on her she never said anything about their species outloud,"Hey! Did you just read my mind?" Qu'est-ce qu'une fille doit faire pour garder ses pensées privées? Nah, read this.

"Thank you Slicer," she says smiling at the strange mutant.

"Oh that looks painfull, are you sure you'r allright."
At least she is used to strange looking mutants and appears to be a little less shoked about the sight.
"Well then."
With that she stands he´lping to hand out tea to the others.

The medicine man answers without noticing Domis reaction at having her thoughts read but he does blink questioningly then she confronts him with french.
"Oh please good girl not so many questions at once. It is hard to find answers to some, I only know their meaning through your thoughts at all.
The Machine is King Putayamo's gift to all of us. It protects us all from the weapons the ignorant outsiders would use to destroy the paradise we worked so hard to built. The sun-god himself blessed it so we can live the old ways of this land."
From his pronouncement of the word -Machine- it sounds like he would talk about a deity than about a tool.

"I'm sorry, I just don't like the idea of people wandering about in my mind," Domi apologizes, I guess I should get used to it with Jack around and all, "So this machine is supposed to protect you from the outside world and the Gencon's are supposed to protect it? Then why are they attacking you or us for that matter?"

All the talk stops instantly then a figure emerges from the pyramid. At the newcomers side and slightly behind him walks Silcer, keeping a lot more upright than looks normal for him. All the men and women around you fall to their knees and bow their heads. The member of the Sunguard keep their heads up high but still sink to one knee.
You can all feel your hairs getting charged with elictrictiy as the man comes closer and you can see sparks dance around the high-tech, whatever they are, he is wearing.
The girl, Concha suddenly lifts her head and shouts out:
"Hail to King Putayamo!"
The shout is taken up by all the people around here moments later and they cheer for the man.
He lifts his hands and silence falls over the crowd. Looking around himself and trying to make eye contact with as many as possible the king speaks.
His voice sounds like one used to give orders and also like a skilled speaker who knows how to manipulate a crowd.
"Stand up my friends. None of you should kneel today. I congratulate you people of the Jaguar! The Sungod must be proud then he sees his children! You mastered the challenges of our live another day and proved you deserve the paradise he chose to create! And more, the workes performed wonders this day and our soldiers drove of the dreaded Gencons thereby saving more refuges from the outside! You see the races from everythere will realize how enlightened our ways are and they will come to rally under our banner.
And if that wasn't enough, the Sunguard once again proven its loyality by bringing us intruders from the outside. Explorers and soldiers who want to destroy our home! Their blood shall please the gods soon!"
Then he looks directly at you.
" Welcome brothers and sisters, I was told that you are of those they call mutants outside. Do not worry no one shall use that insult ever again. Here we are at peace. The two races will never have to fight again."
Again he lets his eyes wander over the whole crowd and he raises both hands into the air.
"The time of the new Aztec empire is here and you the Jaguar-people have made that wonder possible!"

Eris licks her lips as the king approaches, He looks scrumptious, she thinks to herself as she continues to stand while the others kneel. She walks brazenly forward, approaching the king, seemingly ignorant of the reverance all are paying to him. "Yea, about that blood being pleasing and everything, I am quite sure that might make Domi upset, so I will have to ask you to refrain from that since, Domi is going to get us out of this jungle and back to civilization. Not that your jungle is a bad place to be, its quite refreshing, but a girl still has to have her luxuries after all." the girl said, lewtting her cloak slide off her shoulders to increase the likelyhood of her pheromones getting the king to go along with her way of thinking.
