[ This has been difficult for Quetzalcoatl as well as strange. Her being was an oddity among oddities, something divine and inhuman, so the way that the Blight makes her body fail is a strange experience. She’s died before (as many gods of her pantheon have), but death for gods of the Aztecs came through fire and sacrifice. This slow degradation is strange to her, to say nothing of just how wrong it felt for a god that was once the sun itself to feel such a chill.
Yet, it won’t stop her. There are people that she’s decided are her people, and they need help. It’s really as simple as that.
So, even though she feels a deep chill and fatigue, she’s on her way out of the Seat when something catches her attention—a smell. Her nose isn’t actually any more sensitive than a human’s, but it’s distinct and familiar, though not in a way she connects immediately. It’s just enough to get her to pause and look around for its source and try and connect the smell to a memory. She tries to follow it, and that hesitation is just enough for Silco to offload his Blight onto some poor, unsuspecting Meri. But it’s also enough for Quetzalcoatl to catch Silco before he retreats to invisibility. ]
You again—
[ His hostility in Highstorm was one thing, but here in Springstar, she’s not so forgiving. She holds her hand out to the side, and from a glow of golden light, an odd-lookiing sword materializes. Though she’d been conversational before, there’s no hesitation this time as she rapidly starts to close the distance between them. Luckily for Silco, it’s at least a decent amount of distance for him to react, and she’s not quite able to move as fast as she could normally. ]
