I said no thank you to everything but the food and they were very hospitable. I told them I must go to my homeland in the morning they allowed me a place to sleep and some food. When I slept I could somehow sense the gods from all over Cemanahuac and the world was watching me from afar. I knew somehow my journey was simple but it wouldn't always be so this world would become my trial and hardship. I woke up with the wolves communicating with me and informing me telepathically that it was time to continue on our journey as they howled towards the wolves in the south and they howled back in acknowledgment and informed my familiars which directions to take. The environment I was in slowly became hotter, arid, and the land become more desert-like. I saw weird plants with sharp spines and scorpions and snakes traverse the land I walked. I slowly learned that my senses although enhanced also provided me night vision as well and I was even able to sense a strange man who was walking towards my direction.
As I walked with caution I noticed the man smelled unusual as if he had the scent of both man and beast including a faint smell of magic. The man approached me with his walking stick his hair was long and untended. It was tied back with a white ribbon and smeared with soot which his entire body was also covered with. He slowly spoke "My name is Quauhtli I am a Naoalli of the Mexica tribe, I was sent by the gods to bring you to our city Tenochtitlan. You will have to fight four champions or demigods of the four gods of directions." He slowly raised his staff and hit the floor and became a giant eagle and stood facing me while he opened his large wings and invited me to get on his back. He spoke still with magic but not in my head his open opened and words flew out with ease. "Do not worry I will bring your wolves with us through magic." I walked on his wing that he had expanded on the ground and sat on his back. He flapped his great wings and to the sky, we went.
He flew fast as if he commanded the elements and they worked with is eagle form. From the sky, we were approaching the city Tenochtitlan and it was beautiful but it was on a swampy island but surrounded by a lake. It was for all intentions and purposes a city made on the water and my breath was taken away at the magnificence of the city. (AN: here an idea of the city looks like an all it entails https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/aztecs/home/water-in-valley-of-mexico) We landed in an area where it looks like it can be used for many purposes like a market, an arena (look here for an idea of the space and everything https://www.thoughtco.com/the-aztec-capital-city-of-tenochtitlan-167271) For the purpose today that I am brought here It goal is to be an arena. Quauhtli landed and my wolves appeared beside him with their furs ruffled as if they were transported here at the same speed the eagle flown. He transformed back into his human shaman appearance.
He walked up to a big bowl and threw some clear resin inside and told me it was called copalli. He chanted his magic words and spit out fire underneath the bowl. The smell released from the copalli was pleasant and amazing as if I wanted more. Quauhtli shouted to the entire city "Come people listen to your Naoalli I brought before you a champion demigod who the gods sent me to bring here and challenge our four champions chosen by GODS of the four directions. Win or lose we will see the winner will be the true champion to fight against the upcoming threat in the gods' warnings and visions that is the future darkness. The darkness has destroyed our world 4 times and we are now living in the era of the fifth sun. We do not want our world to end with an earthquake. We must continue the sun god demands we sacrifice the yōllōtl of those who are struck with darkness to keep our world and our sun moving for if we do not the darkness will continue to prevent our sun from moving and then end our world for good. " I was listening as he went on to explain that as of right now humans the gods are currently immune to the evil darkness however the darkness would not stop until he influenced a god and then destroyed a world.
The shaman faced north and said "Tezcatlipoca we ask you to send your champion or demigod of your choosing to fight this champion to prove his worth to you that you asked me to bring before you" I stood there dumbfounded as the black smoke was coming from the north with floating obsidian in the middle. and there he stood a GOD before all mortals. (AN: he looked like this https://www.deviantart.com/yukkeky/art/Tezcatlipoca-499041112) He looked at me and nodded as a form of acknowledgment. He spoke to me "Demigod I sent you my child who is born of mortal and god a demigod like you but his powers are only magic thus I can foresee two futures one where you win and he fails or the other way around. This fight won't be to the death it is a fight until one gives up" His son walked up from the crowd and kneeled towards his father saying that he wouldn't fail him or something like that. He then looks at me and said "my name is Ocēlōtl good luck!" stood ready for battle then Tezcatlipoca shouted "FIGHT" Ocēlōtl turned into a jaguar and came at me with claws and fangs (https://scaleeth.tumblr.com/post/169024167745) as he lunged with an animalistic roar. As he lunged I trembled with excitement my wolves joined the crowd frightening some of the people but they calmed down as they realized that they were not going to harm humans. I ended up shifting on instinct as a form of self-defense.
I jumped to the side at great speed and could feel the excitement of the battle becoming a battle junkie. Ocēlōtl landed where I was and did jump in an arc backward to where I was with ease and grace. I roared so loud he landed behind me on his chest but with his hands to the ground. I rushed towards Ocēlōtl while charging on all fours. Ocēlōtl looked in my direction and came towards me on all fours as well and we clashed creating a shockwave.
The crowd was cheering after getting knocked on their butt and getting back up screaming as if they have been involved the fight themselves. WE scratched at each other with our claws, we bit each other. This brutal fight went on for an hour just like this raw combat no fear of death. finally, I could sense that Ocēlōtl was getting tired so I swing with my right hand across his face while my left hand went under my right arm towards his chest to knock him on his center of gravity and puncture his chest with my claws in the process of it all. He fell breathing heavy while I l stared at him as he shifted back to human form chuckling while his wounds were healing at a slower rate than mine. Ocēlōtl looked at his father and said: "Sorry to have failed you, father, I yield to my opponent his powers are greater than mine in combat."
