That Special Feeling of Christmas

Maria walked into a meeting room, with Kukulkan and Ququmatz in tow.

“are you sure about this idea, mija?” Ququmatz asked Maria.

“Sure, I'm sure. I have more than enough authority as an Underworld goddess to make this happen!” She said, confidently.

“I have faith that she'll manage!” Kuku added.

Using her authority, Maria summoned a large stone gate, shaped like a skull, opening up in the middle of the room. Varying gods came out of the gate, gathering into the room.

Suddenly, Maria shifted into a somewhat horrifying appearance, fitting for an Underworld goddess. “GREETINGS MY SUBJECTS! I HAVE SUMMONED YOU FORTH FOR ONE EXPRESS PURPOSE”

All the underworld gods who had been summoned stood in attention to her. Eyes pointed straight at her, with the upmost respect.

“I HAVE SUMMONED YOU- to help me with Christmas!” Mari says, as she turned back into her more standard appearance.

All of a sudden, those summoned seemed to have lost some of the fear and respect they originally had. Now being skeptical and a lil insulting.

“SILENCE!” Shouted Ququmatz, with rageful burning eyes.

The gods stopped their prattling, and stood at attention again.

“You guys know Christmas, right?” Maria asked them.

One of the gods, Xquic, spoke up. “I've heard something about it. Is it like a celebration of winter or something?”

Mari sighed in response, “not exactly. It takes place in winter, but it doesn't celebrate winter. Uh, the history is complicated but there's various things celebrated. Family, love, peace, the winter solstice, this one pretty important Messiah figure for this one religion. That kinda stuff.

Then another god, Chamiabac, commented “Wait, what was that last-”

“Eh, that's not super relevant for us. Instead we have something else to worry about.”

Then the Camazotz of PHH questioned “and what would that be?”

“Santa Clause!” Mari said. “Here in Chaldea, every year around Christmas, one servant gets to be the Santa for the year. Their job is to deliver presents and/or spread ‘Christmas joy’ in some way shape or form. And this year, that's my duty!”

Then another god, Miccapetlacalli also had a question “So where do we come into this?”

“I need someone to help me get ready! This is a big job, and I can't just do everything. I need people to help make the gifts, help with my outfit, and inevitably there will be fighting too-”

Then someone interrupted Maria.

“Oh fighting?!” Cabrakan said. “I can definitely handle that!”

“I enjoy the enthusiasm.” Mari said.

Then the Queen of the underworld raised her hand, and had a question. “Could you give us a few examples of aspects to Christmas?”

Mari thinks for a bit. “Well I have a few things.” She picks up a present “this is a present! Starting with a box, wrapped in paper and ribbons!”

Some gods now had questions. “Oh what's in it?”

“Is it a heart?”

“Is it bones?”

Mari clarified “the point is to not know, but it could be anything!”

“Very morbid of them” Kukulkan commented.

“That's their default setting.” Ququmatz explained.

Mari then picked up a stocking. “Now this is a stocking! We hang it up on the wall, and fill it with treats!”

More gods commented

“Is that where the bones are?”

“Or maybe eyes?”

“Maybe cacao?”

“Maybe some blood?”

“Blood would ruin the sock!” Kuku corrected them.

“The cacao was closer, but only by so much.” Mari explained.

Maria then picked up a Christmas tree. “This is the tree! Covered in lights, topped with a star, and underneath is where we put the presents.”

“That star is kinda small” said Cabrakan.

“It's not a real star” Ququmatz said.

“Don't be so stupid, brother!” Zipacna scolded.

Mari tried to get them to understand. “Very rarely would some of these gifts include things like blood or hearts. Tho, since the purpose is just to make the recipients happy, it could theoretically include those things! Like for all of you!”

Suddenly the gods got excited!

“Hearts and bones?” One said.

“Sacrifices for us! What an exciting festival!” Another commented.

Suddenly Mictlantecuhtli raised himself up, and in a deep and intimidating voice said “as the feared and dark gods of the underworld, we rarely get our pick of the better offerings. Especially after those damn hero twins cursed our lands. If we were to receive such quality sacrifices and offerings, we'd be happy to assist you, Miquitzlicoatl.”

“Well that's amazing to hear.” Maria responded.

Everything seemed to be going great!

Then, after assigning the gods their duties, Mari took Kuku and Ququ somewhere else.

“Everything's looking good Mija!” Kuku said.

“Si! Looks like things will go smoothly!” Ququ said.

“It's good to see things go smoothly!” Mari said “but also I wanted to tell you guys something.”

“What is it?” Kuku asked.

“Well, Blonde Mama had been Santa before. But that was before you two came, and as such you missed out. So I wanted to help remedy that.” She said.

“What are you saying?” Ququ asked.

“While I'll still be Santa, would you two be willing to be my Reindeer?” She asked them.

Simultaneously they both said “OH!!!!”

Ququ said “Oh that'd be great!”

“We’d love to, mija!” Kuku said.

Now Mari was a Santa with not only helpers, but reindeer too! Everything had been going oh so smooth so far! But I can't help but wonder if things will stay that way.

Here, the design of Chimi in this AU

Some headcanons I have of her:

Chimi obviously has a father-daughter relationship with Vucub, a very close one. He is quite protective of her constantly due to her being a mortal. She sometimes gets frustrated by it, but she lets it go because she loves her father very much.

The only gods that she knows throughout her life They are Camazotz, Cipactli, Cabrakan, and of course, Micte.

Yes, Zatz and Chimi have a platonic relationship here (bromance). Zatz is basically Chimi's older brother, a bit protective but understanding. Supports her almost all the time and he accompanies her on the missions that vucub sends her to do.

Camazotz, Cipactli and Cabrakan are like her uncles. Camazotz helped Vucub train her along with Zatz while Cipactli and Cabrakan sometimes invite her to have dinner with them.

Chimi earned her golden bow at fifteen.

Zatz teaches Chimi the language of bats (she herself asked him since she wanted to learn)

Chimi meets rico at one point...not very lucky 😅.

Little by little I will upload more headcanons. There's a lot to talk about... 😉

Cabrakan (Maya Mythology)

[hasquetzorkukudoneanythingwrong]

Mictlanmas: Cold and Cruel Chaos.

The Gods had gotten started making presents for Christmas. With Maria and her official “reindeer” watching over them. They still had to make sure nothing deadly was included, but otherwise things were going well.

Maria also had her newly made Santa outfit! A fun outfit, with a mix of red, black and purple. With her large tentacles also sprouting out.

“People still play with balls, right?” Xquic pondered. “I'm sure a big solid rubber ball would be a great gift!”

Camazotz of PHH was making what was essentially an army of small toy bats!

“Try to be more careful with the fucking figures, dammit!” Zipacna yelled at Cabrakan.

“It's not my fault they're made of such flimsy materials!” Cabrakan argued.

Suddenly an alarmed blared!

“Oh hell, here's the shitshow!” Mari said.

“What do you mean?” Mictecacihuatl questioned.

“Something always goes wrong around Christmas time.” Q'uq'umatz answered.

Mari and her mothers ran off to the command room. There, they met with Rex and Quetzalcoatl.

“Papa! Mama! What's going on?” Mari asked.

“There's a new snowy singularity that's popped up!” Rex explained to Maria.

“Here we go! Here comes the shitshow!” Maria exclaimed.

“You're very excited for this, mija.” Kuku commented.

“I wanna go to town on the enemies!” Mari answered.

The group was rayshifted into the singularity. They found themselves in a freezing field, covered in snow and a few trees spotted around.

Mari noticed that Quetz in her Santa form, had a different look to her.

“Hey wait, Mama you have a different outfit! Where'd you get that Christmas-y top and cape?” She questioned.

“Oh, tu Papa made it for me!” She said. “some people were getting worried with how exposed my outfit was. So he made this!” She stated, as she did a cute twirl.

“Aw, it looks really nice!” Kuku commented.

“Oh hey, what's that?” Rex commented, as he saw a small figure running towards them.

“Heeeeeelp!” The figure said.

“They need help!” Mari commented.

Mari grabbed the small figure, which would seem to be a nutcracker, with purple hair, a small jacket and a skirt.

“Heeey, Cerejeira?!” Mari exclaimed.

“Yes!” The Nutcracker exclaimed.

“What happened to you?” Ququ asked.

“That stupid Templar, Molay put my soul into this stupid body and turned my real body into a demonic reindeer!” She explained.

“Welp, guess we know what's going on.” Quetz said. “I'll fly ahead and try to find Molay, you guys try to find her elsewhere too.”

She flew off, heading northwest.

“You stay on my shoulder, Cere. I'll keep you safe.” Mari assured her, as she placed her on her shoulder.

“God, I'm never gonna forget the Christmas where I was turned into a nutcracker…” she commented.

“That memory thing does not sound worth it” Rex said.

Suddenly the group heard very loud singing.

“What the hell is that?” Kuku asked?

“I think I know.” Mari said. “We should head go the source”

As they traveled forward, they found the source of the caroling.

“That's Eli!” Ququ said.

Skating around on a frozen lake, was Elizabeth Bathory. Singing a hyper loud Christmas Carol, while dressed as a sugar plum fairy.

“So how should we handle this?” Maria asked.

“Hey Eli!” Rex yelled out. “What are you doing?”

Suddenly Eli noticed the gang, her eyes oddly a glow of red. “Oh finally! An audience!” She said, before turning up the volume even more, and more pointing the sound towards them.

“Ah hell, now what?!” Mari asked.

“I don't know if my little body can't take much more!” Cere said.

Kuku noticed the frozen lake. “Wait! What if we broke the ice she's skating on? The freezing water should help chill her out!” She suggested.

“Good idea!” Rex told her.

“Oh! I got a good idea to help make it happen!” Mari said.

“Oh?” Ququ wondered. “What exactly?”

Mari stood up “Hey Eli!” Mari exclaimed.

Eli looked up, tho keeping up with the songs.

“Your performance is great! Here's a gift to show my appreciation!” Mari exclaimed, as she threw a huge and heavy present box with one of her tentacles.

Eli's eyes opened wide, and she leaped to catch the gift, only to be overwhelmed by the weight and crashing through the ice.

She then popped back out of the water. “AAAAH! It's freezing!” Eli yelled out.

“Gotcha” Mari said, as she picked Eli up with one of her tentacles.

“Sorry about that, Elizabeth. But the volume was a bit too high.” Rex said.

“I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!” Cere yelled.

“Did you at least still like it otherwise?” Eli asked, as she shivered.

“It was great, Elizabeth.” Kuku said, as she gave Eli a blanket to warm up.

“Thanks!” Elizabeth said.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a solid ball flew through the air, actually sending Rex flying, before he disappeared in a flash of light.

“AMOR!?” Ququ and Kuku yelled out loud.

Then the same ball flew and did the same to Eli.

“Who the hell is doing that?!” Mari bellowed.

Then an unknown feminine voice answered back. “Wouldn't you like to know, Underworld goddess.”

“Who the hell are you?” Kuku asked.

Two people cake into view from the snow. A guy with a red and yellow color scheme and a girl with a purple and blue one.

“Hunahpu and Xbalanque.” The red one answered.

Then suddenly their eyes glowed red.

“We're here to fix Christmas.” Xbalanque followed with.

Things have started getting bad. Now what could the hero twins possibly mean by that? I mean, I know what. But what do yall think? Otherwise, hope you guys like how it's been going so far!

Maya and the Three + Analog Horror

Hey guys! I have been thinking of a Maya and the three au. So I’ve been interested in analog horror, and thought if Maya and the three + analog horror would make a pretty good au.

So here’s my summary of the au. In the modern times, a newly wed couple (Maya and Zatz) are two archeologists, while having an expedition throughout South America, as well as their honeymoon 😁, but they hear rumors, that people have gone missing in the forests of Brazil, as well as in the mountains of Peru. There have also been rumors of vengeful spirits roaming around South America, looking for those who wronged them. These spirits are known as “The Three” (Rico, Chimi, and Picchu) and there is also a story, of 3 outcasts from Luna Island, Jungle Lands, as well as the Golden Mountains, who were forced to be sent to the god of war, Lord Mictlan, in order for the kingdoms to be saved. The Three died very brutal deaths, and because of Lord Mictlan, cursed to live as monstrous entities, for 500 years. The Three had hope, that the Teca army, but they came too late, and were slaughtered as well. There were gods who chose to escape because of Lord Mictlan’s insanity (Camazotz, Lady Micte, Vucub, Cipactli, and Cabrakan). The escaped Gods went away and started new lives in North America. The wife of Lord Mictlan, Lady Micte, started a family with a man and his wife, and they loved each other very much (King Teca and Queen Teca), and had 4 children. Two children are also expected from the family. Lady Micte then decides stop Mictlan, as well as free the spirits of the Three, but she sadly fails, along with Camazotz, who also left his family behind. Before going to South America to stop Lord Mictlan, Lady Micte makes a video message to Maya, one of her youngest children, that she’s sorry she had to leave her behind, because of a cause, as well as revealing that she’s the Goddess of Death. This leaves to a 27 yr old Maya, and her new husband, Zack (Zatz), while also having their expedition, as well as their honeymoon, to look for their missing parent, as well as free the Three

And now, for the Three!

Rico: Rico’s a very tragic soul, whose limbs can float, as well as his head. He tends to stay hidden from the people, who don’t know that he lives in this part of the area. But he also has company and basically journeys through South America with his friend, the Stone Giant (Picchu), while also trying to seek friendship from the Forest Spirit (Chimi). However, if angered, he will try to kill, with his magic. There is a 50% chance that you can survive Rico. But if you succeed in being friends with Rico, he will come with you, as well as have faith in you, to get the other two of the Three. He may look dangerous, but he’s just hurt, wanting to go home. He also disguises himself as a beggar when the sun arrives, always wearing a scarf, so people wouldn’t see that his head’s floating. Whenever he floats with his head, his hair also spreads, like Medusa. He also does Peasant Magic, which he mastered over the 500 years of his misery. He will try to help you go against the God of War too, as well as finding the other spirits. Rico always wanted to be lovingly embraced, if a mortal understands what he has been going through.

Chimi: Chimi’s a soul who has been deeply wronged, and is the one with the most vengeance. She has no lower body, her arms are stretched and sharp, so she can slice victims, but she also knows how to use her bow, often jumping and shooting. She has very sharp canines, clothes covered in mud and blood, her hair down and messy, her very tainted makeup, pitch black eyes, and also a very, very disturbing smile. She often talks to the Stone Giant, and also to the Sorcerer Spirit, sometimes, and often has a soft spot for them, that they are suffering the same fate as her too. If angered, Chimi will chase you on her arms (like the Japanese yo Kai, Teke Teke), and will slice the victim with her hands. Another alternate, she will try to shoot her bow at you, and once you’ve been impaled by one, she will pounce and attack you. There is a 30% chance you can survive against Chimi. If you do end up making friends with the spirit, always, I mean always, make sure that you’re not going to leave her behind, as well as betray her, so she wouldn’t get hurt and try to kill you again, but if you do, she will be very loyal to you, as your protector, while also being starved of physical affection.

Picchu: Picchu is a soul made of stone, who always roams around the Andes Mountains at night, and turning into a mountain when day comes. Picchu’s eyes are just two very deep holes, with jagged cracks below, and is always crying two water falls. He doesn’t talk, but can make sounds to show how he’s feeling. His hair is grass and vines, as well as a fruit tree on his head. He sometimes walks around the mountains, with his friend, the Sorcerer Spirit. Picchu isn’t really a spirit that kills people, but when angered, his body will have cracks, with lava inside, and well as his hair also turning into lava. His chest has a very huge hole that goes through his body. He and Rico are the most nicest spirits from the Three, but also likes spending time with his friends. There’s a 10% chance if you can survive against Picchu. If you become friends with Picchu, he’s really nice once you get to know him, and he’s also really sensitive, if you hurt his feelings. Picchu will try to give you a ride around the mountains, as well as the whole South America, if he doesn’t get caught. He too, has been starved of physical affection.

Perhaps my interest in birds was not as “Normal” as I thought…

Seriously, Vucub had to be my favorite in Maya and The Three bc he’s a giant humanoid bird. I remember looking at all the Gods’ designs and going “Ooh pretty girls…HOLY SHIT THAT’S A BIRD!”

Not only that, we saw the other Gods simply hate humans just bc they’re humans and see themselves above humans. Vucub had a legitimate reason to be angry at humans, they killed all his Jungle animals! And he is the God of Jungle Animals! That conversation he has with Chimi is so important to me bc the scene is like a reflection of Chimi. He reminds Chimi of how she was dehumanized and raised by animals and then humans killed her animals, saying how humans are terrible and calling her a traitor

But! While talking to her, he realizes that he shouldn’t kill all humans and that not all of them are bad. She informs him how she has learned that she can trust some humans and they aren’t bad. He then decides not to fight Chimi or her friends and simply leaves them alone and comes back during the final battle to fight alongside our heroes just like Cipactli and Cabrakan and Lady Micte

I just love his design. All the designs are banger but he may actually be my favorite design

[obsidian-warthog]

What's your favorite Mayan god?

Going to cheat a little and say the Maya Hero twins, because they aren't distinguished that much from each other in the Popol Vuh, which is my main exposure to Maya mythology. And their narrative ends with them becoming the sun and moon, which is also set before the creation of humanity.

I like how the hero twins actually do lose some battles before coming up with a trick to win. Seven Macaw trounces them in a head on battle so they disguise themselves as doctors and commit medical malpractice on him. The lords of death outright kill them so they get reborn as performers for a sneak attack. Feels rare for a mythical hero to need a rematch.

And even when it's not take two of a fight they're pretty clever, using an insect to learn the individual name of each lord of death, poisoning Cabrakan instead of bothering with direct combat, etc.

I'll admit to a slight preference for Xbalanque over Hunahpu due to being introduced to him first thanks to Smite, which gave him a fun personality that felt fitting. Speaking of video game appearances, I also made a point of pretty much always using the hero twin inspired characters in Indivisible.

Okay. Zip is still hard. I want to give him pizzazz. Much like hum and Xolo. The only problem is that the depictions of the gods that are related to crocodiles are not that fun.

zipacna depictions and their brother cabrakan are very hard to find references for. And I don't mean references entirely. I mean proper historic depictions. A lot of them are worn. Many of them are pencil sketches of the stones of the twin heroes story. Although it is really hard to differentiate which brother is who. cabrakan has a lot more media representation but that is creatively free. Sorry don't wish to use those depictions as reference. So I'm stuck with this one media depiction that is so lackluster it barely gives any detail, and a bunch of pencil sketches of stones that I cannot tell who or what God is in them.

In a wishful chance I looked at the other God that was a runner-up for Zip's name. Cipactli. They have a lot more representation due to their story being Aztec and therefore more fresh in the history books. Unfortunately much like the Earth Brothers their depictions are simplistic. They have a little bit more color, again due to having a pressure depiction in the timeline of history. But it's not much more than a spiky red crocodile. There isn't any fantasmic interesting features. Just crocodile with skirt and necklace. Cipactli of course having teeth everywhere.

I am at a loss of how to give Zip an intriguing design. I could look at general Aztec and Mayan clothing but that feels lackluster. There are of course other gods I could take from. There is of course Quetzalcoatl. God of arts and crafts and a bunch of other things due to how ancient they are. Attempting to look up gods that relate to lizards is testy. For some reason there's a coyote trickster god That keeps popping up. Some sort of creation deity that also pops up and only has one lizard depiction. There's a lot about a day that they worship lizards but no god associated. There is not a lot of interesting depictions when it comes to reptiles unfortunately unless it is the flying serpent.

Cabrakan and Zipacna

It's these fuckhead brothers.

Sons of the god Vucub Caquix, these two were among the enemies slain by the Maya Hero twins.

Zipacna, the older of the two, was a brash and arrogant bastard. When forcing a group known as the 400 boys to make him a temple, they tried to kill him by attempting to crush him with a huge stone. To escape, he borrowed underneath, when the stone was lifted he jumped out and ripped them all asunder. Then the twins tricked him by setting a fake crab into a deep tunnel. Wanting to grab the tasty morsel, he went in. But the crab kept being pulled closer by one of the twins, before eventually he was trapped.

With Cabrakan, the mountain crusher, the twins decided poison could work out. First, they played to his arrogance and strength to challenge him to destroy a distant mountain. Dragging the two with him, the twins gathered poisonous plants together the whole time. When Cabrakan grew tired, he demanded food. The twins used the plants along with meat to give him a deadly toxic meal. After devouring the meal, he died and became stone.

That's how their story ended in the Popul Vuh, but in my lore they have more to do. Seeing their potential use in her own schemes, Nexoxcho used her authority as Princesa de Mictlan to drag their souls back to life. Now they serve her, under threat of death.

Cabrakan as an uncle be like:

Zatz: We're heading into the mortal realm right now to interrogate the murderer.

Chimi: (take out an ax) We have an ax! Ree! Ree! Ree!

Cabrakan: huh, seems like the kind of thing a responsible parent wouldn't want you doing...(smile widely) Good thing I'm an uncle. Avenge me, kids! AVENGE ME!!!

Maya and the Three / Maya x (god/goddess of parties reader) Platonic

(Saw a story about if Lord Mictlan died and Lady Micte took Maya to live with her and the other gods and goddesses. They then had a second quinceañera for Maya, so I’ll be following that plot a bit. I don’t own the AU since I’m getting ideas from someone else I just didn’t get their username.)

“Are you not enjoying the party mi flor?” Lady Micte asked leaning over to look at her daughter who was watching all of the other gods mingling. “No no, I am!” Maya answers waving her hands and fixing the beads in her hair. “But?” Micte ask. “I don’t know I just feel a bit out of place,” Maya signs.

She’s talked with some of the gods and goddesses that helped her mother, but it was hard since she felt like an outcast being only a Demi-god. Sure Zatz was there too but Acat was protective over him and was always around him at any chance. Didn't help that Acat hated Maya. Camazotz was her mother's right-hand man and was quick to become a good father figure for Maya since he too had a Demi-child (not a Micte & Camazotz ship).

Cipactli was quick to grow on Maya taking care of her as if she were her own daughter teaching her how to fight and stay safe. Cabrakan wasn’t as quick as his wife, but soon also warmed up to Maya (partly just to make his wife happy). The other gods such as Hurra and Can, Xtabay, Skull and Bone, and Vucub would casually talk with Maya, but not that much not that they hated her just they saw no real interest. Chico was just a bitch, still mad about the fall of Lord Mictlan he would use his magic to make Maya’s new life in the underworld slightly harder. I didn’t help that some of the other gods found these pranks to be funny. Luckily Cipactli was always quick to help and put Chivo in his place.

Taking a sip of her drink Maya turns to the god/goddess her mother was talking to. They looked cool and fun having some bright color paint on their body and messy hair with confetti stuck in it. “Are you having fun?” The other god/goddess ask. “Huh? Oh yes!” Maya answers.

“Oh how rude of me!” They exclaim bowing down. “I am (Reader) God(dess) of Parties. I would have meet you early when you were given gifts, but I was busy helping set up. Speaking of gifts here,” you offer holding out a wine bottle to her. “(Reader)! She can not be drinking that this early in the party!” Micte scolds. “What? Why not I wasn’t sober at my party,” you justify “Hell most gods and goddesses aren’t”.

Taking the bottle Maya then gives a quick thanks feeling shadowed by the other outgoing god(dess). “Maya why don’t you go with (Reader) to meet some of the other guests. They’re quite a social butterfly and know about everyone in this room,” Micte explains. “That’s sounds wonderful!” You exclaim grabbing Maya’s arm. “Come on I’m going to show you how to really party!” You finish before dashing off pulling Maya behind you as Micte laughs at the sight.

After a while of you dragging Maya around meeting new gods and introducing her by her name and not Micte’d daughter or as the Demi-god of death. You were fun always cracking jokes and making sure Maya was involved in the conversation, but also that the attention wasn’t just on her so she felt comfortable. At one point Maya mentioned how Chivo was messing with her.

“Wait here and watch,” you say getting up and making something with your magic, but it was hide from Maya’s view. “Hey Chivo?” You ask sliding in next to him as he talks with Vucub and Xtabay. “What do you want?” The god retorts. “How’s the party huh? Does it live up to your standers?” You inquire getting ready. “I suppose,” the goat responds carefully. “Have you had anything to eat?” You ask getting closer. “No not ye-,”

Bam!

“Why you!” Chivo shouts with pie dripping down his face. Xtabay and Vucub cackling as they lean on you for support while other gods turn to see what’s the commotion before joining in the laughter. “What? You said you were hungry,” you say innocently. “Alright alright here,” you say offering the smaller demon a handkerchief. Taking it Chivo becomes surprised as it seemed to just continue to come never seeming to end.

“What is this?!” He exclaims getting frustrated. “It’s magic man. Aren’t you the god of magic anyway,” you say pulling the handkerchief out all the way making the god look like an idiot. “God of black magic to you!” He shouts storming off as you turn toward the two other gods.

“How about you two? We you having a fun party?” You ask. “(Reader) any party with you is always fun,” Vucub says patting your back. “Agreed,” Xtabay adds. “Wonderful! Catch you at the after party!” You call out as you leave to go stand next to Maya again. “Soo?” You ask. “That was amazing!” Maya cheers jumping up and down. “I- what- how?!” “Oh just some old party tricks,” you wave your hand like it was nothing.

“You have to show me how you did that!” Maya pleads giving you puppy dog eyes. “Only if you agree to come to one of my parties,” you add. “Deal!” She exclaims shaking your hand. “Great! Now I’m hungry after that pie gig,” you say looking for the food table. “I guess meeting all of those gods and goddesses made me hungry too,” Maya adds. Leading the way you walk up to one of the tables.

“Mine!” “No it’s mine give it back!” Bone yells trying to take the glass back. “What’s happening?” You ask heading over to help as Maya grabs a plate. “She took my drink!” Skull explains pointing to her sister. “You already had some!” Bone responds. Grabbing the glass from the two you snap your fingers causing the glass to duplicate. “There now you each have your own,” you say handing them each their own. “Thank you (Reader)!” They exclaim running over while giggle with each other.

”You’re like really good at making people happy,” Maya says munching on some weird underworld berries. “Huh? Oh yeah,” you answer grabbing your own plate. “It’s kind of my thing since the whole god(dess) of parties and whatnot, but I also feel the vibes from people,” you say taking a bit. “The vibes?” Maya questions. “Yeah if someone wasn’t having a good time I can see a dark cloud around them and I know that I have to go help so that their energy doesn’t rub off on others. That's why I have such killer parties since I make sure all of my guests are having fun,” you finish taking a swig from some wine.

“Who makes sure you’re having fun though?” Maya ask. “No one really besides alcohol,” “That’s ruff,” Maya mumbles taking another bite. “Yeah, but hey I think I have I new friend to keep my sprites high,” you say nudging her. “Who?” Maya asks clueless to your hints. As you give her a blank stare Maya starts to get nervous she said something wrong. This thought was cut short as you burst out laughing. “Girl you are just a hoot,” you say between laughs. “O-oh thank you,” Maya responds slightly embarrassed.

“Ah don’t worry about it!” You exclaim punching her arm. “And that is why you’re going to be my new friend,” you add putting your plate down. “Me?” “Sí,” “But why I’m not as cool as the other gods and goddesses,” Maya says as she looks around at all of the gods who are way more powerful than her. “Psh, that’s the thing all gods and goddess are kind of boring,” you retort waving your hand.

“Don’t get me wrong there are some good ones, and it’s great to see family again, but they’re all mostly self-centered. Besides your are funny, smart, and brave. By the way you have to tell the the story of how you sacrificed yourself,” you ramble causing the Demi-god to get confused. “Of course, there are others like my fiancé (insert your favorite god(s)/goddess(es)/human(s)) who I adore, and your mother is great too, but she’s a little too serious for my liking,”

“You want to be my friend?” Maya asks looking up at you. “Yeah, why?” You ask looking down at her. “Do you not want to?” “No no no! I would love to be friends I don’t have that many friends here,” Maya explains. “What about Zatz aren’t you both Demi-gods?” You question. “We are, but he’s dating Acat and she can be…protective,” “Psh more that obsessive,” you chuckle. “True,” Maya laughs.

After a while of you two just standing in a comfortable silence you break it. “Come in let’s get you back to your throne so you get more gifts and once this party is done you can ask your mom if you can go to the after-party,” you explain starting to walk. “After-party?” Maya ask rushing to catch up with you. “Yeah I always host an after-party after most events, of course, if the main host is there then it gets really lit, but if you don’t want to I won’t force you. Cause that’s not what friends do,” you finish as you both approve the thrones. “They do tend to have more alcohol and gambling games though,”

“There you are mi flor. Did you have fun?” Lady Micte asks ushering Maya to sit down and tell her all about it giving you a cue to go and make sure others are still having fun. “Hey Mama, can I go to the after-party?” Maya asks sheepishly. “Oh, let me guess (Reader) hyped you up about it?” “Maybe,” Maya says stretching the word. “Hmm, (Reader)’s parties can get pretty intense,” Micte says thinking about it. “I'll she how I feel later,” Micte says sitting back to talk with a new god that came up to congratulate Maya.

●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●

“So can you make it,?” You ask walking over to the throne as other gods and goddesses leave to head to your own temple. “Well,” Micte starts. “Please mama! I’ll be safe and drink responsibly,” Maya begs. “(Reader)?” Micte ask looking over to you. “Your Highness,” you bow causing the goddess to smile at your antics. “I vow to keep Princess Maya safe and have her home by a reasonable time,” you say standing back up and talking in a silly accent.

“Alright you can go,” Micte says gesturing for Maya to leave. “But change your clothes I don’t want to party in your nice clothes Acat gave you,” she orders. “Fine,” Maya groans walking away. “Acat gave you those?” you ask as you walk down the halls together. “Yeah, it was her gift, but really she just wanted to get rid of the old outfit,” Maya explains.

After changing and stepping out of her room she sees you waiting down the hall talking to Hurra and Can. “Once off the bridge, you take a left and go straight till you come to a fork and take a right, not a left or you end up at my brother’s casino then follow the stairs till you see a bunch of bright colors,” you explain again. “Left, straight, right, stairs, colors. Got it!” Hurra exclaims before pulling his brother away. “There you are girl I’ve been waiting forever,” you sign dramatically. “Nice outfit by the way,” you add. “Thanks, I like yours too,” Maya says. “Really?” “Yeah, it’s so cool and fun just like you,” Maya answers. “You flatter me too much. Now come on!” You say using some of your magic to teleport to your temple.

“Ready to have the best party of your life?” You ask grabbing her shoulders and looking Maya in the eyes. “Totally,” she answers excitedly. As you both approach the doors with music blaring on the other side and gods and goddesses all laughing Maya starts to get nervous. “Hey don't worry I'll stay with you the whole time okay,” you reassure. “Okay!” Maya says with more confidence this time happy to know she now has a new friend who’s always going to look out for her.
