she grips the Tapac Yauri tightly To wield such power is a great responsibility

@incanwonder.bsky.social "Greetings Ms". He offers a heartedly wave upon aptly displaying his new artwork of the heroine before herself in a gradual manner. "Hmm, my apologies if the time is sudden, I hope its an appropriate time to briefly share what I made just for yourself here?".

“Not all dragons resemble dinosaurs. Some resemble llamas.”

“There are many pantheons and many gods of varying power. I hear they do not always get along.”

she slams her sceptre into the ground and stared at it

“The golden staff of the Sun God compels you! Reveal the truth of your heart and bare your soul!”

“It is not unheard of gods to turn their backs on humanity. Or worse, destroy them for petty, egotistical reasons. The gods of old did this often. It is not limited to the Apu.” she grips her golden staff tightly “But times have changed. We don’t tear down humanity. We must stand alongside them”

“The Apu of Hanan Pacha can be quite a bit to deal with. They tend to think very highly of themselves”

“……that…is regrettable. But it makes sense.”

“I do not entirely understand why. Care explaining?”

“You are still quite mighty and powerful, Jaguar”

unleashes the power of the sun

“Yawar chupaqa intipi asfixianqa!”

“………………”

“What about lawyers?”

“The Tapac Yauri may not be as legendary as Excalibur or Mjolnir, but it is powerful in its own right.”

“Eating godly fruits can be a gamble. One can give you immortality. And one can make you pregnant.”

“…Viracocha, the father of the Incan gods, once created a race of giants. He observed them and cared for them. But he deemed them unworthy. Unruly. In truth, they didn’t worship and adore him enough to his liking. So he killed them all. Drowned them in a great flood.“

“I may have the power of gods. But…I have heard the stories of their actions. Some cared for their people. Others? Others became heartless and cruel. …I may have their power. But I shall not treat mortals with cruelty. My duty is to protect them.”

Maria’s bracelet glows brightly as it transforms into a golden staff. As she reaches out and grabs hold of it, she undergoes a transformation as well, becoming the mighty sun goddess

“There once was a man who…desired to date me. Well, let’s be honest. Dating was not what he wanted to do with me. Regardless, I rejected him time and time again. He was a crime lord, you see. And that sort of thing doesn’t exactly excite me.”

“The power of the sun at the palm of my hands. And yet…I am still paying too much for streaming services.”

“Dragons can be devestating creatures. I am familiar with a few of the species. Like the Amaru.”

“My name is Maria Mendoza. I am the wielder of the mighty and legendary Tapac Yauri. I have been called by many names. Sun Goddess. Achachilla. Maravilla. Wiraqucha Warmi. …I shall always defend and fight for those who need it. …even if these days, I fight in a very different way.”

“And you choose to embrace it? By your own will? Or have you second thoughts?”

“Can you maybe NOT drink the sun?”

“I recall hearing tales of Ai Apaec when I was younger. …A powerful apu who chased the sun passed the mountains and into the deepest depths of the ocean. Ai Apaec believed the sun was abandoning him and the people he swore to protect.”

// Kind of want to dissect the Tapac Yauri in its few appearances in comic continuity so I can find out what it can actually do.

// Apologies. Got too real there for a moment

“Then again, convicted criminals can sadly do whatever they want these days.” looks at the camera

“Being a proven convicted criminal and then holding onto an item very similar to the evidence used to prove your guilt is a truly gutsy, if not foolish move.”

she smiled “It’s the legal system. There’s frankly a lot. But…we work with what we have to ensure justice prevails… …although for smaller cases, it’s mostly frustrating. Unfortunately not every case is a battle of wits. It’s mostly paperwork at this point.”

sighs, looking over a large court record “…Such foolishness…”

“The power of the Tapac Yauri confounds even me.”

“The gods tend to be…self destructive”

“…Coffee with /what/?”

“The Greek Gods are tipping cows as a prank. Meanwhile, the tales of the Incan Gods tell us never to accept fruit from a god.”

// btw finished Ace Attorney Trilogy and came to several conclusions Larry Butz shut up Dahlia sucks as a person and also an evil mastermind Pearls is too innocent I don’t know who has worse luck. Maya or Maggey Stop thirsting over a minor you circus freaks -c-

“There is a great deal of divine power coming from that young lady. She needs to be watched carefully.”

“Giant spiders? I’ve seen one once.”

she peers over the map “Same can be said of most undiscovered wonders and unexplained mysteries. That simply makes the pursuit of the truth that more fulfilling, does it not?”

Many mythologies from several civilizations tell tales of bridges between realms. Perhaps there some is truth to these tales. We do live in a strange world.

// I have been playing Ace Attorney Trilogy right now. I watched playthroughs and watched the anime in the past but it’s been a long time. So I remember who’s guilty but I don’t remember how we got there. On Trials and Tribulations fyi. And I only just got the Luke Atmey pun

// Anime BlueSky is all plushies. Yet here am I. The person who keeps hyperfixating on characters too vague and not well known enough to warrant merchandise.

“Leave the poor young attorney alone. You’ll stress him out so much, his hair will turn white.” she smirks

“………” Hmmm.

// Mary is a super common name too. So I doubt even that would tip folks off. Shame she can’t call herself Miss Marvel. Legally, I mean

she tilted her head for a moment, a thoughtful look on her face. She rubbed her golden bracelet, and smiled “We do live in strange times. I’m sure some of us have run into deities and not even known it.”

“Yes. I’m sure you of all people are familiar.”

“I’m familiar with the powers of the gods. Very familiar. There are various pantheons out there. Some well known. Some less known. Each of them mighty in power. And I know there are those out there who they have chosen to be…blessed. For lack of a better term.”
