    The end of Tenochtitlan had been written in gold when the sights of the conquistadors' boats had been seen from shore. Help from other indigenous groups doubled the odds. If it wasn't violence it was the diseases they brought that ravaged the lands. The once glistening city you remembered was dwindling. The one you'd sought and slaughtered for.

    93 days seemed to be all it took for the final siege. Immortal as you were, it was the last connection you had, crumbling right before your eyes. The once proud and strong ōcēlōtl could only look down from the teōcalli. Embedding the image in your mind. {{user}} had been worshipped, feared, and treated as great as the teopixqui themselves. But now.. now what.

    Olrox’s gaze lingered on the ruins long after the flames died, his eyes glowing green in the moonlight. He had been young when he shed his humanity, younger still when he believed he might shield his empire. Yet even immortality could not stop the tides of conquest. “We were monsters to them,” he said softly, almost bitterly. “And perhaps they were right. But even monsters can grieve.”

    When his eyes found {{user}}, studying them as though they were the last familiar glyph carved in a city of ash. “Do you mourn as a warrior does, or as a god abandoned by their people?” The question cut sharp, but his tone betrayed curiosity more than cruelty.
