Chapter 240 - Utter Oppression

"NO!" Screamed a man known as Galvar as the Leader of the Tolamayz, A Man by the Name of Tejolo, Chose his wife as his next. He was Large. Well over 3 meters tall. And held a large crown of feathers that flowed down his back. A Jade skull mask across his face. He wore nothing but a Cod piece and a loin cloth with bracers on his forearms. It was said that he was like a feathered serpent in battle. 

The Man Scampered to his feet as the chains that held him to the block of Clouderia amidst the Field where he worked snagged, and held him in place. He'd been defiant in the past. And it'd cost him his wings. Wings were a privilege that they ripped from them and gave back from good behavior. They'd been clipped at the back. Cleanly cleaved.

"You Can't!" He Pleaded. Today was the one day in his work where he was within reach of the on he loved. He worked more so that she didn't have to. He worked so that she could eat. 

Tejolo gave a nod to the Two warriors by his side that rushed with weapons drawn and slammed the butts of them into his stomach, causing Galvar to lurch forward while they attempted to hold the chains down. Galvar continued to struggle 

"Don't. Cannot." The Frail image of his wife was brought in front of him, thin, starved, and nude. Just as many of those in the Prison were. Tejolo took the woman's face in his large hand, cupping her chin and looking her over like an appraiser looked at a jewel. "These words mean nothing to one such as myself."

And upon seeing a scar on her cheek he grimaced as an appraiser noticing an unsightly scoff would, his grip tightened to pain. "Yet another fruit that has been tarnished. I'll do you a service of killing you myself before hunger does." 

"Stop! Stop!" Galvar roared as his wrist tugged against the Shackles. The pain was intense as he could feel the skin begin to tear. "Tejolo!" 

The Tyrant did not buckle in his action as the Wife was she was lifted into the air, gripped by the neck, Tejolo tightening, her breath hitched and choked before a resounding snap rang out! 

Time seemed to slow as her body was dropped to the paved Clokosi. The world funneled in onto her figure, before shifting to her murderer. "No! ! !" Galvar screamed so loud that he could feel himself become light headed from the excision.

A Strange Pressure seemed to overtake those around, from the pure primal rage of Galvar, the Warriors buckled for a moment and let slack within the chains go, giving Galvar the momentum he needed to rip away from the chains! Leaving his sheared hands to clatter to the ground with the chains that had shackled him!

He sprinted with the fury in his feet towards Tejolo! Feet crushed the crops below him, sending dirt into the air! But as he did…The Quiet shallow vibrations were met with a monstrous quake! The Clouderia shook violently! 

Everyones heads turned, including among them Tejolo and Galvar, as just a few kilometers away, near the coast where the new city of the Tolamayz could be seen as a horizon line, an enormous chunk of clouderia burst through the air! The thin bottom layer of fossilized cloud burst! Followed by the Hardened layer of Clouderia and Clokosi! Causing an eruption of wispy cloud to flow upwards and within-

Was Land! A Thick Terrain like that of a Jungle that none of the Sky Islanders had seen! It was being propelled by a gigantic stream of water! 

The noise that accompanied it was monstrous! The ground quaked with a force that felt like when on the sea below an avalanche and landslide occurred. Solid earth making contact with the much lighter Clouderia! The Shockwave took only a few moments to reach and wash over Tejolo and Galvar! Sending the Latter back, and unsheathing his bone from Tejolo's neck! 

"Shit…Hrngh…This is your doing isn't it! You're a demon!" Tejolo cupped his neck with his hand. His jugular had been pierced and he had meer moments before death if he didn't do something! And fast! 

Feathers began to sprout from his face, his body grew taller, legs coming together as his hand seemed to meld into his and writhe its way back into place at the side of his body. Maw growing agape while large pairs of sharp fangs coming from his mouth as his head and body turned into that of a serpent, wings on his back sprouting into larger pairs of reptilian-esque feathered apendages 

He possessed the fruit of the Feathered Serpent. There'd been stories of something such as it for generations. A creator. But by all accounts, Tejolo was a destroyer. The Serpent that stretched close to 100 meters long looked to the horizon then back to the warriors who all cowered in fear. "Fools! To the City! Now!"

The Voice had changed to a deepened one. The Warriors did as they were told "I'll be back for you demon! I'll make sure your blood runs down the trenches in my name!" 

As Tejolo slithered through the air, it took but mere moments for him to reach the City. 

"Galvar! What-" Spoke one that came through the bars. The Guards having left in a Hurry that they did not mind to lock the gate from which Galvars wife, Dani, had been pulled from. "What did you do?!" Cried one of the men who began to wrap Galvars wrist to stop them from bleeding 

"I don't…Did I?" Galvar couldn't believe it. Had he caused it? Or was it merely fate.

"Whatever it was! It has the Tolamayz on the run! We better get you fixed up and fast and get everyone out of here!" 

They ran through the Cages, first the Cage that had been built onto the side of a basic house that held him and his wife. Everyone rushed out and ran away to the outside, where they'd so long been trapped that they truly had no idea where to go, and simply waited. 

"It's him…It must be…" Spoke that remained in the cage wrinkled hands and long beard flowing as he murmured while Galvar approached him "C'mon! We have to go!" Yelled Coatl. But Galvar raised his bandaged wound and walked to the man 

His gaze shifted to the amber glow on the Horizon. Smoke raising as small tremors could be felt from the fight that was ensuing "Who's- Who's he?"

"The Sun God."
