Read The Tales of Wieder :: The Shadow Part 3

The clouds finally cleared out and the light from the full moon illuminated the jungle “Enough” said a voice laughing. In the cliff there was the shadow who was actually Mictlan pushing a jaguar off her while she was on the ground, “If you did as I told you, you wouldn’t have been attacked”. The animal said as he backed up not before hitting her face with his tail “Come on, you know I can't sleep at night” Mictlan said as she sat at the cliff looking over the jungle.

With the round moon at the horizon “Well then ask your parents to tell you a story, don’t come here bothering us” the jaguar stated as he climbed a small tree besides Mictlan “You raised me to not sleep at night, I’m sorry but this is YOUR responsibility” “Now you blame me? After I saved you and raised you, even if it wasn’t my business” “Yes” Mictlan said with a big smile on her face, but the jaguar just looked away “you came all the way here all those years ago just to make sure I was safe, you have to like me just a little” she continued “Well I don’t dislike you more than the others” he said coming down the tree and sitting beside Mictlan as she said “Good enough for me, you tell me a story then” the jaguar just sighed “Fine, I was never able to win against you”. The jaguar started telling one of the many stories he knew with his many years on Tlali as the night grew deeper.
