Mayahuel’s mother was identified in the normal course of business as being descended from a Huastecan deity by the name of Tlazolteotl, a fierce and beautiful little goddess who had many talents. Tlazolteotl was also known as the Filth-Eater--something of little interest to anyone even after the filth surge began. The factions had been already been grudgingly working together for years on various projects to train progeny of the old gods for various ends. Before Maya was even born, ironclad agreements had been put into place as to her fate if she ever showed any promise related to her maternal bloodline. |
− | Maya’s young childhood was spent mostly with in London with her father. Her mother returned to Mexico when she was still quite small. They saw each other rarely until Maya moved to the southwestern U.S. to live with her grandmother when she was fifteen. Once Maya came of age she returned to London with the expectation that she would begin her training with the Templars just as her parents had before her. While in London, she fell in love with a promising young guard named Jeremiah Clarke. Jeremy and Maya were blissfully happy until Jeremy became ill upon his return from an archaeological expedition to Egypt. | + | Maya’s young childhood was spent mostly with in London with her father. Her mother returned to Mexico when she was still quite small. They saw each other rarely until Maya moved to the southwestern U.S. to live with her grandmother when she was fifteen. Once Maya came of age she returned to London against her mother's wishes with the expectation that she would begin her training with the Templars just as her parents had before her. While back in London, she fell in love with a promising young guard named Jeremiah Clarke. Jeremy and Maya were blissfully happy until Jeremy became gravely ill upon his return from an archaeological expedition to Egypt. |
He was immediately whisked away to a secret location underneath London. Maya was determined to find him. She somehow managed to bypass the security measures and broke into the infirmary, completely disregarding the quarantine. She locked herself in with him, crawling into his bed and whispering to him in a language the Templars had never heard for hours until the dawn. When the Securi-Med teams finally got back into the room with the likely intention of dispatching both Mayahuel and her young guard, they were shocked to see the both of them curled together sleeping as if nothing had happened. | He was immediately whisked away to a secret location underneath London.

In spite of attempts to keep the incident secret, the Templars received word shortly thereafter that it was time to honor the bargain made with the Dragon years prior. She was simply brought into one of the Templar offices, sedated and handed over to the Dragon. The "training" she endured there was part of what later became known among the factions as The Ablution Project. Regardless of any protocols tried, Maya was never able to replicate what had occurred with the filth infected Jeremy in London. This did not keep her handlers from pushing her to breaking points again and again. It was a brutal experience, one that left her with no memory or connection with anyone when she was finally allowed to leave. There was much struggle and heartache before she finally found her way to the person she is now. In the end, love was what saved her and love is the only thing that she still believes in with her whole heart. |
Project Ablution was deemed a failure except for a minor success at an obscure site several hours from Mexico City that none of the factions thought worth the trouble to try repeating. Mayahuel left the Dragon with the uneasy but respectful understanding that she can still come and go as she pleases when in Seoul. | Project Ablution was deemed a failure except for a minor success at an obscure site several hours from Mexico City that none of the factions thought worth the trouble to try repeating.
