I should be carrying the sun. I am a warrior. I am a fighter. I died a noble death. I have earned my place in the heavens

What is Mictlan? This word is unknown to me.

[leadsthestars]

The place of smoke. The place of darkness. It is where the dead linger.

[deathmerciful]

Not too distant a description of this place, chere. Here we exist in a place between death and the afterlife. Our souls remain tethered to reality for a second chance.

That is what I have been told, at least. I for one am not a believer in second chances.

[leadsthestars]

I do not understand. I do not need to live life once more. I have lived bravely. I have died bravely. My reward is death.

Are you a warrior? Are you a noble? You speak in a refined tongue.

[general_chang]

I understand. I should not be here, warriors do not belong. Though do not assume this to mean that you will not need your skills.

[leadsthestars]

Something is wrong. Something is amiss. If you and I are warriors, then we should be in the heavens. We should not need to battle.

[general_chang]

We were snatched from in between our life and our death to relive our 'mistakes' by this being known as 'the Admiral'. He sends us trails and a guide known as a warden.

[leadsthestars]

[Sense. You make it. Coyolxauhqui is fond.]

The Admiral is the being that rules this underworld. I understand.

Warden. Xolotl? He guides souls to Mictlan.

[preachyrose]

You are not in Mictlan. That place does not exist here.

[leadsthestars]

I am in a different underworld. One run by the Admiral.

[preachyrose]

Exactly. But he is no god.

[leadsthestars]

Is he a magician? Is he the Speaker? The Tlatoani?

[alzarian_youth]

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, but a lot of us just escaped the place with people who were missing flesh, and there was quite a bit of blood there.

[leadsthestars]

Is escape possible? Did you leave Mictlan?

[alzarian_youth]

I left...the place I was. I suppose it could have been called Mictlan.

[leadsthestars]

Your answers are unhelpful. I glean very little from them. Is is possible to come and go from this place?

[leadsthestars]

Mictlantecuhtli. The Lord of Mictlan.

[leadsthestars]

The underworld. The place where souls travel. The place of shadows. Mictlantecuhtli is Lord, and he rips flesh and bone to pieces.

Souls of warriors do not go to Mictlan.
