Sí, for sure! Tezcatlipoca would absolutely be Zenith too and for no real good reason.
[ She huffs, since knowing her brother, he’d say something like “what, and give one side a huge advantage?” or “this war needs more casualties, so we’re up again, Birdie”. Ugh…
However, her sour expression is interrupted by Liem’s completely fair question, but she definitely looks sheepish. It’s a little embarrassing, honestly! The Aztecs had a bit of a reputation, and it was earned, but not because of her. She loves her people unconditionally, sure…. But it sure would be nice if there wasn’t that particular association with her too! ]
Oh, well… It’s how they would worship, yes! Because of how we made the world, the Azteca always wanted to express their gratefulness for how difficult it was for us… There’s symbolism in it too, but… Well, we would receive sacrifices. Mine were all smaller things, though! I couldn’t bear to have the more intense things, so things like piercing themselves with a cactus spine or maybe a butterfly or hummingbird on a holiday, but…
[ She sighs and shakes her head ]
Well, there were a lot of human sacrifices. Tezcatlipoca would receive, um, fresh human hearts, for one. And that’s what my Azteca got to be known for, you know! None of the amazing stuff they did! Just the bloody stuff!
