Two Eyes Cenote Does he speak to you now?

Yeah, you have not been very succesful in advertising your faith to possible converts. Dwin thought to herself in response to his remark about her being a non-believer. Which - strictly speaking -was not true at all. His particular brand of gods did not convince her much (or maybe the gods were not blame for bad marketing). However, she believed in there being something that was larger than life. A power that kept everything going on. Not controlling. Neither did she give any cents for conspiracy theories. But just as death was a mystery, so was life on Earth. Wasn't it amazing, how dust could come together again and again to create so many different shapes, forms and characters?

The remainder of his replies to her questions was met with a slightly disappointed sigh. Why was it so that tall, dark, mysterious, brooding and very handsome strangers were ALL those things in (saucy) stories? When you met them in real life they were either crazy (though this fellow seemed more in touch with reality today) or had boring explanations. Had he been a hero of any of those steamy chick-lit or mild erotica novels, he would probably have have had a whirlwind romance with the new pharaoh before her becoming the wife of the sun god (or what-not - Dwin had not paid close attention to details). Or he would have attempted to steal her away. Or prove his undying immortal love in the most ridiculous ways.

Or... Dwin had to admit - he was a complete loss to the myths and legends for the future generations of women to dream about and swoon over. The worst part - he was not even aware of it! "What do you do now that you are not leading a pack or scaring people with ghastly premonitions?" she asked. Then for some reason she remembered that creepy white-furred guy, who went around doing trades. "Does your god tell you other things that might happen in the future? I am pretty sure that many packs would be happy to trade in food and - perhaps - even paws of their youngest daughters in marriage, were you to tell them their fortunes?" she teased him.
