* Niether Yes, Nor No; You Ask Her To Explain. *

You are quite confused by this declaration and ask her to explain. "Teoxihuitl, what are you talking about? How does my 'attempts to use your foreknowledge to create Pottery ahead of schedule' put the stability of the universe in jeopardy?" You ask, "and what do you mean 'awaken to godhood'?"

"Children, take the canoe back to the house and get into bed, I will be along in an hour or two," Teoxihuitl says and the children swiftly vanish back the way they came. "To answer your questions Leader, I must reveal some facts about myself and the world. I am spirit touched, thus my amethyst colored eyes. Part of that is that I understand certain facts about the world that are not known to the population at large," Teoxihuitl begins.

"One of these is that you and the other great leaders who were given the Elixir Of Immortality are not who you were before. No one else remembers Acamapichtli, but I do. You are not the man we gave the Elixir Personal Family, for everyone else you are remembered as our ruler but you're not him. The other thing that this tells me is that you are about to turn on 'cheat mode' in the Engine of Reality. If you do this, you will forever forgo your ability to enter a 'high score' into the 'Hall of Fame'. If you did win a high score, then you would gain access to Cheat Mode without consequences, allowing you to build new worlds and populate them. You also would have all your advisors, present and former, by your side as your legates..." She seems to shiver, in spite of the current heat.

"If you actually activate 'cheat mode' however, when you 'win' you will instead return to the world and moment from which you came, forever denied the glory of Godhood. This universe, and everything in it, will vanish as though it had never been, and there will be nothing left of us, your subjects and advisors, except your memories," Teoxihuitl explains.

Ah-hah! you think to yourself, This is the in-character equivalent of the dialogue box asking me to confirm that I want to turn on Cheats... But... Do I? you ponder for a second...
