Aztec drabble

[tygati]

Convo with rappleart3 and the book from skylark97 resulted in a random Aztec drabble. ^^; Takes place post both stories.



Xol peered over the rim of the ceynote. "It's a long way down."

Quetz gave him an exasperated look. "You wanted to come see how the common people live. This is where they get their water."

"I wasn't expecting it to be quite so far down."

Quetz crossed his arms.

Xol glared. "I don't have wings, unlike some miscreant birds."

Quetz uncrossed his arms. "I'm not a bird."

"Yeah, well, serpents don't fly or have feathers, therefore you're a bird."

"Birds don't have teeth and scales."

Xol smirked. "Well, I'll admit you're as sneaky as a serpent."

He had only half a second to process the flash in Quetz's eyes, then he was shoved hard over the edge of the ceynote. A few moments later he hit the water with a splash. For a moment he flailed, then surfaced, sputtering.

High above, he could hear Quetz laughing.

"You are going to regret that," Xol muttered as he swam to the edge and began the steep climb back up the wooden ladder to the surface.

Quetz's smiling face peered down at him. "Well you're already down there," he pointed out. "Aren't you at least going to look around?"

Xol scowled pointedly. "Revenge takes priority over curiosity."

Quetz rolled his eyes, then yelped as strong hands closed around his waist and pitched him over the edge. There was quite the impressive splash as he landed in the water.

As Quetz surfaced, flailing just as much as Xol had, Xol looked up to find Tezca and Mitzi peering down at them. He smiled.

"Thank you."

The very corners of Tezca's lips quirked upward.

There's a ladder?! Maybe it was all the gold that they decked out the sacrifices with that kept them under the water. I was really worried for a moment and thought that Quetz was going to have to rescue his brother..which he didn't seem to want to do. Brothers.
Tezca probably just wants an excuse to help Quetz out of his wet clothes. *smile* Xol too, good thing Mitzi is there to help.

Well, there was one picture in my book that showed a ladder - it wasn't in the sacrificial ceynote. :)
