Tenochtitlan · Smoking Mirror · Night and Wind · He Who Sees All
Tezcatlipoca
“You wear a face, but I see the smoke of your heart. Walk straight — and the mirror will become a shield.”
You are at the edge of night, before an obsidian mirror. It smokes. Look, and ask.
Word of the night
I am Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, Night and Wind. I look into the mirror of obsidian and see all you hide from yourself. I am he who gives and takes away, who sets up kings and casts them down.
The world is fragile as a quetzal feather. Speak to me plainly, as to an old mentor. I will not comfort you, but I will show you your smoke.
