Able to think of nothing else besides her adventures on the day of the competition and not deterred by the trouble it got her into, Tlemilli went about eavesdropping on her father and his political machinations with little hesitation. Even if to do that, she had to to slip out of windows or run around the Palace’s gardens barefoot like commoner slaves. The chance of learning about the mysterious boy from the Plaza and his whereabouts was well worth it. He had promised to find her, but she was eager to help him keep his promise. In the meanwhile, Miztli, thrown in the strange surroundings of the noble boys’ school and out of his depth on more counts than he could deal with, found that the Emperor was a subtle man of many ideas, not above using spies even if those were villagers of most humble origins. The mission of sneaking to Tlatelolco again, this time semi-officially, looked tempting, promising, offering opportunities to find that Palace’s girl. He greeted it eagerly, impressed with the Emperor’s brilliance and acumen. However, the politics involved in the brewing conflict between the two cities were deep, the rulers’ games ruthless, stalks high. Neither of the youths, not even the restless, resourceful Necalli, anticipated the trouble they would became embroidered at, forced to fight for their lives at times, face difficult dilemmas.

A gamer raised on first person shooters is forced to test his skill to survive in a zombie apocalypse.Chris Lecher’s Journal, a curious discovery that will surely leave researchers puzzled about the true nature of events that transpired several years ago. Teams of anthropologists, environmental scientists, and even occult scholars have joined forces in attempting to solve the mystery of the cause and the subsequent end to the terror. Though I should state that the hellish fiends still manage to worm their way back into our world, and the sure randomness of their trajectory makes tracking them almost as impossible as staying equipped to handle the more demonic horrors. However, this particular discovery is remarkable, the millions used in funding the project have turned a resource too valuable for budget scrutinizing. This document explains the origins of the hellish portals and the event that transpired before the real domination began.
