Information: SPC-NAH-010 is an extremely dangerous being that came out of hiding in the last few weeks after following an Agent home. Subject claims to be peaceful and because of Statements submitted by DIV-GRK-012, Subject will not be contained for now. Subject is to be closely monitored with weekly check-ins, and Protocol Smoke and Mirror is to be implemented if Subject is to be hostile in any way.


Ixchel was a wandering spirit wearing tattered clothing, lost in a swamp thousands of miles from where she came from. She was quiet and never bothered anyone. Then, a young Remi Drake saw her. Remi was in the Swamps of Okefenokee clearing out hostile spirits that attacked archaeologists. When the mission was over, Remi saw Ixchel and raised her weapon, but didn't fire when the spirit wasn't hostile. Remi saw the girl, shivering, almost naked, and saw her eyeless sockets. Remi took off her old hoodie and gave it to the spirit before teleporting away.

Unfortunately for Remi, the spirit followed her back to Manalith, which triggered a response from the DDDF. It turns out that Ixchel might be a Shard of Xolotl or a descendant. Though she denies being associated with the god, Ixchel has a number of abilities associated with Xolotl. She can "see" perfectly despite having no eyes. When she gets angry, sparks of black lightning form around her, which heat the air so quickly and with such force that it sounds like a dog is barking. She can teleport vast distances, shapeshift, and has a spirit awareness that makes even spirit sensitive beings feel uneasy. Like any divine entity, she can speak all languages fluently.

If Ixchel really is a shard of Xolotl, then the God has been missing for over five hundred years and has not been doing the job of guiding souls to the afterlife, what has caused problems. Not wanting Ixchel to leave again, the DDDF kept their distance and transferred funds to Manalith Academy to treat her the way she wants to be. Ixchel was enrolled in school, issued uniforms, and has the same schedule as Remi. The other students of the school are rather scared to be around her, especially Maria, who is convinced that Xolotl has come to take her soul to Mictlan. Others like Nourhan know exactly who Ixchel is and it amuses them.

Nēhuatl nimitztēnēhua in nēhuatl, auh nēhuatl Ixchel. Nēhuatl amo nimitztēnēhua in amo nēhuatl, auh nēhuatl amo yehuatl.

[00:00:01] A. Luvia: Sit. Now.
[00:00:03] R. Drake: Okay, okay! No need to dramatically airbend the door behind me!
[00:00:09] A. Luvia: Do you know how many fucking mana sensors you tripped bringing this thing home with you?
[00:00:18] R. Drake: Technically she followed me and--
[00:00:21] A. Luvia: QUIET! Answer the question.
[00:00:24] (silence - 4 seconds)
[00:00:28] A. Luvia: All of them. You managed to somehow set off every single mana sensor from New London to Providence, because you gave an old hoodie to a wandering SPC-Class Entity?
[00:00:42] R. Drake: Is she really a spirit? She hasn't done anything spooky yet. She's just, I don't know... Swampy?
[00:00:58] A. Luvia: Swampy? Are you fucking serious right now!?! You brought an unclassified SPC-Class Entity onto my campus, accidentally or not. You didn't mention it in your field report. You didn't alert the active Guardian on your mission. You didn't alert facility security. You didn't engage in any containment protocols. You didn't even call me or your parents.... because she was swampy?
[00:01:28] R. Drake: I guess I was just tired? It was a long mission and--
[00:01:33] A. Luvia: QUIET! Not another word.
[00:01:37] (silence - 8 seconds)
[00:01:45] A. Luvia: After your mission last night, where you, Agent Rosenrune, and Agent Kori were assigned to clear out SPC-Class entities that attacked an archaeological site, you claimed the area was "Clear :)" in your field report, with a smiley face. You failed to include the part where you stayed behind after Agent Rosenrune and Agent Kori teleported away, made contact with an SPC-Class Entity of unknown origin and threat level, gave that entity something, then let it follow you to my school.
[00:02:20] R. Drake: Okay, okay, but, like, she wasn't doing anything, just standing there being a creepy and sad ghost. She looked cold and wasn't hostile. She didn't even blink at me.
[00:02:31] A. Luvia: SHE DOESN'T HAVE FUCKING EYES REMI!
[00:02:38] R. Drake: O-okay fair. Poor choice of words. All I did was give her my old hoodie. It wasn't like I gave her the key to the school or anything.
[00:02:49] A. Luvia: YOU. GAVE. HER. AN. INVITATION. That's what your hoodie was you idiot. Did you know that spirits can imprint on someone who gives them a gift? It allows them to stick to them like glue and follow them around... Oh wait, of course you don't. You probably skimmed through the DDDF Handbook because it wasn't one of your mangas.
[00:03:16] R. Drake: (barely audible mumbling)
[00:03:21] A. Luvia: WHAT WAS THAT?!?
[00:03:24] R. Drake: The text is really small! Okay?
[00:03:29] A. Luvia: Gods save me from my dumbass niece... You violated way too many DDDF procedures to count. I should take away your mission transponder! I should ground you.! I should expel you from my school and from the Foundation!
[00:03:42] (silence - seconds)
[00:03:50] A. Luvia: Did you even scan her? Do you even know what kind of abilities she has?
[00:04:01] R. Drake: I was going to! Uhm, in the morning. But she was all scared and muddy and eyeless, so I, uhm--
[00:04:12] A. Luvia: Oh great! She looked sad, so you forgot how to do literally anything involving your job? Are you making all your decisions based on misguided vibes?!?
[00:04:20] (silence - 12 seconds)
[00:04:32] A. Luvia: Gods dammit... I need to figure out what to do. You sit there and do not move! I need to make a call and figure this shit out.

[00:00:01]
L. Akti: Beginning Interview. Subject: SPC-NAH-010, possibly DIV-AZT-009. For the record, please state your name as clearly as you can.
[00:00:05]
SPC-NAH-010: Ixchel.
[00:00:07]
Artemis: That's the name you told to the girl who found you. Do you have any other names?
[00:00:13]
SPC-NAH-010: No, Ixchel is the only one I know.
[00:00:20]
L. Akti: Noted. Ixchel, you seem rather tense. We are not going to harm you. We are simply seeking answers about your origins. We are going to ask you several questions and we would like you to be honest with us, okay?

[00:00:33]: (Silence - 9 seconds)

[00:00:42]
SPC-NAH-010: Okay.
[00:00:50]
Artemis: Can you please tell me your age and your birthday?
[00:00:59]
SPC-NAH-010: Sixteen Years and I was born on October tenth. This time.
[00:01:04]
Artemis: This time?
[00:01:11]
SPC-NAH-010: I don't know another way to say it.
[00:01:16]
L. Akti: Subject expresses ambiguity regarding temporal identity. Possible Reincarnation or Divine Shard. Subject Possessing a Nahua female also seems likely.
[00:01:22]
SPC-NAH-010: I am right here...
[00:01:27]
L. Akti: I am aware Ixchel. I am just speaking of several possibilities for the record.
[00:01:33]
Artemis: Ixchel. We need to know what you are. You are currently bleeding off energy that matches that of a powerful divine entity, specifically, that of Xolotl: God Of The Evening Star. You triggered dozens of mana sensors.
[00:01:46]
SPC-NAH-010: I am not a god. I'm just a girl.
[00:02:12]
L. Akti: Subject claims to not be Divine and is unaware of her energy output. Please continue.
[00:02:19]
Artemis: Are you aware of who I am Ixchel?

[00:02:26]: (Silence - 5 seconds)

[00:02:31]
SPC-NAH-010: no.
[00:02:33]
Artemis: I am Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt. We crossed paths many times over the centuries. Then you disappeared...
[00:02:41]
SPC-NAH-010: Centuries? I am not that old. I was born in Tollan sixteen years ago.
[00:02:47]
Artemis: Tollan? (Audible Amusement) This took less time than I thought.
[00:02:52]
SPC-NAH-010: For what?
[00:02:54]
L. Akti: Subject claims to be from the mythical Golden City in the Heavens.
[00:02:58]
SPC-NAH-010: Wait! I don't mean... uhm... Me...Mexico City could be said to be T-To--
[00:03:07]
Artemis: Xolotl... why are you hiding and why did you return just now?
[00:03:13]
SPC-NAH-010: Th... That isn't my name. I am Ixchel.
[00:03:19]
Artemis: The Goddess of Rainbows?
[00:03:24]
SPC-NAH-010: N-no! It's just a common, pretty name.
[00:03:28]
Artemis: Xolotl--
[00:03:30]
SPC-NAH-010: DON'T CALL ME THAT!

[00:03:34]: (Static and Audible barking of a dog - 8 seconds)

[00:03:42]
L. Akti: For the record: The lights in the room temporarily inverted and Subject was surrounded by black sparks, both of which DIV-ACT-010 is capable of.
[00:03:58]
SPC-NAH-010: I-I...I-m sorry.
[00:04:09]
Artemis: (Audible sigh) Okay Ixchel. You're Ixchel. I won't say that other name again, alright? Lycoris, I think we should have a follow-up interview in a week.
[00:04:22]
L. Akti: That would be best. A follow-up interview will be conducted in seven days. Ixchel you are free to go. Agent Drake is waiting for you outside and will take you back to Manalith.

[00:04:34]: SPC-NAH-010 (Left the interview room. Agent Akti and Agent Artemis are still in the room)

[00:04:41]
Artemis: She is definitely a Shard of Xolotl
[00:04:45]
L. Akti: I agree that there is some sort of link to Xolotl, but I am not convinced that she is a shard of the god herself. Do you still believe she is harmless?
[00:04:50]
Artemis: As long as she is in that form, I believe so, yes.
[00:04:55]
L. Akti: And your belief is the only reason we haven't contained her yet, or worse... Summoned Him. I do hope your belief is correct because if it were to come to a vote, most of the elder council will not hesitate to vote containment, or neutralization.

NAH-010: Interview 2

[TL-2024.173.681] **INTERVIEW LOG – SPC-NAH-010 (Alias: “Ixchel”)**

Date: (09/28/2024)

Time: 17:00

Location: DDDF HQ #3, Sub-level 1

Interviewers: Agent Artemis (DIV-GRK-012), Lycoris Akti (Elder Council 03)

Present Individuals: Agent R. Drake, Anubis (DIV-EGP-013)

Subject: Ixchel Moreno SPC-NAH-010

[Begin Audio Transcript]

[00:00:01]
L. Akti: Beginning Interview. Subject: SPC-NAH-010, possibly a shard of DIV-AZT-009. For the record, please state your name as clearly as you can.
[00:00:05]
SPC-NAH-010: Ixchel.
[00:00:08]
R. Drake: Why am I here? And what's with the creepy looking dude in the dog mask? Do you have all the gods on speed-dial or something?
[00:00:14]
L. Akti: Remi, you are here as an emotional anchor for Ixchel, and are to keep silent unless spoken to.

[00:00:23]: (Silence - 5 seconds)

[00:00:28]
L. Akti: Artemis, you may proceed.
[00:00:31]
Artemis: Ixchel, Do you know who this man is standing next to me?

[00:00:36]: (Silence - 8 seconds)

[00:00:44]
Artemis: This is Anubis, and I brought him here to confirm or deny your identity. Are you alright with this?
[00:00:51]
SPC-NAH-010: W-what is he going to do?
[00:00:56]
Artemis: Something that very few Divine beings can do. He is going to measure your soul.
[00:01:03]
R. Drake: Like, with the feather and golden scale? Or is that all metaphor?

[00:01:08]: (Silence - 5 seconds)

[00:01:13]
R. Drake: heh... sorry! Shutting up now.
[00:01:18]
Artemis: Measuring a soul is... let's say invasive, and Anubis will not do it to a living being without that being's consent. Do you consent, Ixchel?
[00:01:27]
SPC-NAH-010: If it will put to rest the absurd idea that I am that god, then yes, I do.
[00:01:34]
L. Akti: For the record. Anubis approached Ixchel and placed his hands in front of her upper chest. A Blackened ball of energy started to form in front of his left palm, and a ball of golden energy forms in front of his right palm. This energy mixes and starts to set itself inside of Ixchel. As it does so, Ixchel starts to moan and her entire body siezes and stands still.
[00:01:51]
R. Drake: Hey Aunti Lycoris, why are you narrating?
[00:01:56]
L. Akti: For the record. The spawn of Darius Drake is quite annoying right now! Remi dear, read Volume II, section 7 of your handbook about Entity containment. It explains the process and procedures for these interviews.

[00:02:10]: (Silence - 9 seconds)

[00:02:11]
L. Akti: For the record. Anubis and Ixchel have remained motionless for over thirty seconds.
[00:02:14]
R. Drake: I don't see her breathing-- Did you just kill her!?!
[00:02:19]
Artemis: Anubis has to take the soul to the underworld to measure their soul. They will be back shortly.

[00:02:24]: (Silence - 12 seconds)

[00:02:36]
R. Drake: This is taking too long!
[00:02:40]
L. Akti: For the record. Anubis and Ixchel have remained motionless for over sixty seconds.

[00:02:46]: (Audible gasping is heard.)

[00:02:50]
L. Akti: Ixchel's soul has returned to her body. Total time away was sixty six seconds. For the Record, the energy unmixed itself and left Ixchel's body and Anubis stepped away slowly.
[00:02:54]
Anubis: She is... fragmented. The soul is incomplete.
[00:03:00]
Artemis: So she is a Shard of Xolotl?
[00:03:07]
Anubis: I am unsure. Shards of my own being are always the same, no matter how many times I divide. For this one, they are always different.
[00:03:12]
R. Drake: No matter how many times you-- what do you mean by that?
[00:03:16]
L. Akti: Remilia Drake, I asked you to be silent!
[00:03:23]
Anubis: I am but one piece of many thousands of beings known as Anubis as a whole. I could not deliver souls to the underworld if there was only one of me. However, I am at my limit and because of this, spirits linger on this world for far longer than they should.
[00:03:29]
Artemis: Okay, so let's get to the point of this. Is she a Shard of Xolotl or not?
[00:03:33]
Anubis: Yes... and No. The one known as Xolotl may not exist anymore, but his shards are still everywhere.
[00:03:36]
SPC-NAH-010: See?!? I told you I'm not him!
[00:03:39]
Artemis: Thank you for coming Anubis. I know this made you a little behind on your soul collecting...
[00:03:45]
Anubis: It is alright. I will be leaving now however. I have just one more thing to say. Ixchel as you call yourself now. You may be but a small piece of Xolotl, but that will not stop Him from coming to retrieve you. You will never be able to hide from Him .

[00:03:49]: (Audible rumbling is heard)

[00:03:53]
L. Akti: For the record. Anubis turned into black smoke and increased the air pressure into the room before dispersing and leaving no trace of himself.
[00:04:00]
R. Drake: So, are we done here? I still don't get why you made me co--
[00:04:06]
L. Akti: Remi. Shut up. Look at Ixchel.
[00:04:08]
R. Drake: (audible gasp) ...oh. Wait, I suck at being the comforting type though!

[00:04:10]: (Audible shuffling is heard. Audible sound of a girl crying is heard.)

[00:04:21]: (SPC-NAH-010 and Agent R. Drake left the interview room. Agent Akti and Agent Artemis are still in the room)

[00:04:23]
Artemis: So now what? Are you going to summon Him now due to your foundation's containment procedures, or are you going to let him come retrieve Ixchel on his own?
[00:04:36]
L. Akti: As long as Ixchel remains non-hostile, we will not implement Protocol Smoke and Mirror. That said, Tezcatlipoca may come to retrieve this shard of Xolotl if he wishes. That is his right.
[00:04:41]
Artemis: So she is damned either way? your organization gets more screwed up every year, Lycoris.

[00:04:47]: (Audible door opening and then slamming closed is heard. Agent Artemis left the interview room. Agent Akti is still in the room.)

[00:04:53]
L. Akti: For the record. Ixchel is a Shard of Xolotl or SPC-AZT-009, Confirmed by DIV-EGP-013. However, the nature of her divinity is still in question.
