Mercy (2010)
“They had survived the foreign diseases that decimated the human population, then preyed upon the conquistadors who dared trespass their lands. Hers was a proud people, fierce, some would say brutal, isolated and preferring to remain so.
Iada looked out over the city. This had been their sanctuary for thousands of years.
Most of her kind would leave the city soon, returning only for the festivals and when need required that council be convened, such as this gathering to decide the broken success...ion. Most preferred to remain nearby in the surrounding jungle. Some traded the small gemstones that littered the caves to wander the world as wealthy humans.
From where she stood on a limestone ledge cut into the mountain face, the canopy was just below her feet, thick and lush, vibrating with life. The wanderers had brought many treasures back to their world, the luxuries and wonders of modern science and technology. The Yaguara knew their human neighbors intimately even while they remained invisible to human eyes.MoreLess
