Mayan Empire, 1200 Years Ago…

Standing behind the Giant Sombra, Calakmul, the Last Mayan Emperor, looks at the beast's struggle, he closes his eyes and remembers his life and why he decided to attack Rio Grande City...

The Mayan Empire was the strongest Empire in Meso-America. The Mayans ruled over Mexico and Central America for Hundreds of Years. Their rulers were selected by heredity...Calakmul, was the ruler after his father Payah passed away...Calakmul, was a very egocentric king who only believed in expanding the Empire and gaining power...In the last year of his Empire, Calakmul was facing a major problem…

*NOTE; THE CONVERSATION IS ACTUALLY IN ANCIENT MAYAN

In the Great Pyramid of Kukulkan, located in Chichen Itza (Yucatan, Mexico), Calakmul sits on his throne listening to one of the priests; “My king...I’m afraid we are facing a crisis, the water supplies are low and there are no signs of increasing…”

King Calakmul was a man with average size, brown skin, black hair and hazel eyes. He had a muscular body and long hair like any traditional mayan warrior. He also wore a traditional Mayan king attire.

Calakmul doesn’t express any concern and says; “Please stay calm, I am sure that our Gods will return the water to us...for now, let’s focus on conquering the Cibola Tribe in the North…”

“But my lord...our people are dying…”

“Silence...you are to follow my orders, recruit the soldiers to start our campaign...Now…” Calakmul orders his generals. The generals nod in agreement, they abandon the room. Calakmul looks at the wall behind him. The wall has the figure carved into it, the figure of a Serpent with Wings.

“Oh, God Kukulkan, give me the wisdom and power to conquer the Cibola rebels and conquer their lands in your honor…”

The Next two months, Calakmul and his army went North in order to conquer the Cibola Territory, with countless battles happening from Day and Night, the Mayans were defeated by the Cibola tribe. An army of 10000 men lost to a small unit of 500.

Having admitted defeat, Calakmul decided to retreat back into the Mayan territory…

“WHY...WHY...WHY DID WE LOST! ARE MY MEN THAT WEAK?”

Calakmul infuriated exclaims to the Head Priest and the Head General; “King Calakmul, we didn’t lose to them because our men were weak, the Cibola tribe had excellent mana control and their techniques were too powerful…”

“NONSENSE, WE HAD WITH US THE TREASURE THAT OUR GOD KUKULKAN LEFT WITH US...HOW COME WE LOST…”

“My king, the treasure did not work, we don’t know what happened, but the treasure did not respond to us…”

“WHAT DID YOU SAY?”

Calakmul orders his men to bring the treasure, he grabs the treasure that is a gem and holds it tight; “What is the meaning of this? Did our God forsake us?”

“My king don’t say that, or he will bring down his wrath.”

“Nonsense, I will act as arrogant as I want, I have conquered lands under Kukulkan’s name, and this is how he pays us? Soldiers, destroy the wall behind me…”

“But my king? You will fight against one of the Gods?”

“Of course...I don’t care...destroy the wall...Kukulkan is no longer our God…”

The soldiers hit the wall, the figure of Kukulkan breaks, Calakmul smiles as he says; “If Kukulkan is really our God, then he will present himself to me in person…”

(DRIP DRIP DROP DROP)

Everyone looks up and sees the miracle that was happening to them. The sky filled itself with clouds, and the drought that hit the Mayan territory for 15 months ended with a storm hitting the mystical land.

“What is going on here?” The priests ask as they look up at the sky. Calakmul begins to scream; “SEE MY FELLOW FOLLOWERS, I WAS RIGHT, IF WE GO AGAINST OUR GODS, FORTUNE WILL SMILE UPON US…”

“SILENCE!” Everyone in the kingdom hears a voice coming from the sky. Everyone looks up and sees. What they see is a giant figure of a serpent between the clouds as the lightning falls.

“This can’t be...it’s the Feathered Serpent…” One of the priests kneels with shock. The Feathered Serpent slowly descends from the sky, the serpent has giant wings and feathers falling from them. Because it is dark and the clouds cover the moon. The colors are not shown.

“It’s our God Kukulkan…” Another priest states with fear. Calakmul, feeling fear, asks; “Oh God Kukulkan, what brings you to our humble mortal kingdom?”

“Silence...I have come here to punish those who have decided to go against my will...King Calakmul, your kingdom has brought nothing but shame to us Gods…The gift of the Gem that I gave you was used for evil...it was meant to bring peace to this land...”

Calakmul is in shock upon hearing those words and lifts his head; “Why are you saying that? I have done nothing wrong, I even expanded the territory under your name...why…”

“King Calakmul, what makes a great king is not conquering land or destroying civilizations...it's by taking care of the people that make this kingdom...you have forsaken that aspect, take a look around you...your people are dying of thirst…”

Calakmul remembers what his generals and priests mentioned about the drought, he gets furious and exclaims; “God Kukulkan, this is your fault, you have decided to give us this drought, we who are your humble followers do not deserve this kind of treatment.”

“Silence...Calakmul, you dare blame me for this catastrophe? You have committed yet another sin...Your arrogance and egocentric behavior have condemned you and those who follow you...you will be punished…”

“What? This can’t be...God Kukulkan has gone insane...No…” Calakmul looks at his army and screams; “MEN...FIRE AT THAT DEMON...THAT IS NOT GOD KUKULKAN BUT A DEMON WHO CLAIMS TO BE HIM...FIRE...THE ARROWS…”

The men in the army are scared as they see the giant God. They disobey the order and kneel towards Kukulkan. Calakmul feels betrayed; “You disobey your king? This is unacceptable...everyone should be punished…”

“No...King Calakmul...You are the one who will be punished...the Great Mayan Empire will cease to exist, everyone will forget about you...and you...will have to walk upon this earth forever…”

Calakmul grabs his lance, and prepares to throw it at Kukulkan; “DAMN YOU...DEMON...I WILL ELIMINATE YOU…”

(BBBBOOOOMMMM)

Kukulkan releases mana from the mouth in the form of flames and strikes the altar where Calakmul was standing. The altar disappears along with Calakmul. The Gem that Calakmul was holding got sealed within the wall off the destroyed Serpent and was located in its eye. The Serpent roars and returns to the sky once more.

On that night, the Mayan Empire fell as people began to abandon Chichen Itza, and walk in various directions. King Calakmul’s name was slowly forgotten. As for King Calakmul…
