Billy Sunday dayspring in camp looked almost like any early morning in inner circle. To an untrained eye, aught was amiss. A sole figure moved through the camp. It was the NE undergraduate with the full torso jaguar tattoo that hadn't been there the cockcrow before. He paused near one of the tents and considered the occupier intertwined inside. As he considered the sleeping duad, he thought about how just a few changes in her appearance would defecate a big remainder in her self-pride. He also thought about how the love of a passionate char would change the young man she slept with. In thinking these things, alteration washed over the sleeping partners.

There were only two people who noticed anything different at first. Paul and Kari knew that everything had changed. They had discovered the concluding resting home of the last Jaguar Shaman and uncovered his Diquis Sphere necklace, bracelets and anklet. St. Paul and Kari had been profoundly affected by photo to the ancient Edward Durell Stone, awakening in Paul the Apostle powers beyond the comprehension of virtually humans. Kari channeled some of Saul of Tarsus's tycoon with her connection to ground as Mother and the life sentence, all animation, throughout the population. It was Kari's doing that the pair were sleeping together.

The two scientists, microphone Tobbe and Leyla Martinez had been altered to the core by the will and mentation of Paul David and Kari McCoy. When Mike and Leyla had retired for the even, it marked the first time that they had shown any interest in each other. In fact, it was the first time Leyla had been with any male person, man or boy. When Leyla had gone into the collapsible shelter of Mike Tobbe, she entered as a woman of trammel appeal ; or more accurately, no solicitation at all. Leyla was a solid archeologist and alumna educatee, and she was nice, but she was not attractive in the least. She still was prone to bouts of acne, though in the jungle she tended to shed light on up as her diet amend. Her haircloth was black, flat, and stringy. She was heavy on the bottom and nearly flat on the top, the pear tree chassis that her female parent and nan had blessed her with. Even though she had Spanish blood, she didn't tan. She remained pasty white in any atmospheric condition.

As Leyla's digging partner, Mike was a buster bookman from the University of Chicago. Mike had played first team football at Illinois and was the size of a heavy truck. After not being selected by the NFL, Mike had accepted a graduate school slot at University of stops where he sought an advanced academic degree in archeology. He expected to be selected to the Farm Six team, where the upper track student went. Getting selected to the backwater site had wounded his pride. When he had arrived on the dig, he had a beastly position toward everyone else so no one would partner with him except his swain student from Windy City. Mike wasn't hostile toward Leyla, but he had been aloof and disdained her at first because of her look and later because even with her drabness, she was Thomas More popular among their peer than he was.

But that had all changed the premature nighttime. Drunk and horny, he tried to dance with former miss North Carolina Kari McCoy. She had rebuffed him and said that he should dance with Leyla. For the starting time fourth dimension Mike looked at Leyla and saw something more than her rough looks. He could see into her real self and what he saw surprised him. Just a few countersign from Kari and his heart had changed. He found himself longing to dance with Leyla and make up for his beastly doings. To his relief, she had responded to his attention and with his new stake in her. With the attention she had begun to blossom. They had spent the night together, Mike's monolithic arms wrapped protectively around Leyla. They had even kissed but nothing else happened.

As the first light ignitor illuminated the jungle cantonment, Mike opened his eyes and looked at his companion. His eye raced, not with little terror or regret, but with joy. He felt a inspiration in his pubic region as he watched his new comrade sleep. It occurred to him that Leyla looked different in the faint morning spark. Her features were flaccid and more womanly. Her stringy bootleg hair was full and shiny. Her pasty white cutis had some color to it. Her faint acne has completely gone and her skin had a respectable glow, even in the pale dawn. He gazed down her body and to his mind, her chest was bigger while her heavy bottom wasn't nearly so vauntingly. She still wasn't beautiful in the shoal way, but she was form and lovingness and not untempting. Why hadn't he seen it before ? he thought to himself. microphone lightly brushed the hair from her face and she stirred. Leyla's eyes vitreous silica blue heart flickered unfastened and she smiled at him. He flushed with relief that she had not looked on him with revulsion.

"trade good daybreak handsome,"she purred. Her heart shined with really affection.

"Good daybreak beautiful,"he responded bending to kiss her lips.

I don't know how long this is going to survive, they thought simultaneously. But I plan on enjoying every second of it. Mikes hand moved from Leyla's typeface to her shoulder and from her shoulder to her breast. He was surprised to find his deal filled by her flesh. He thought her to be straight chested. This was a pleasant surprise. It was a shock absorber to her as well. She had gone from low a-cups to broad c-cups overnight. Leyla's hands roamed over Mike's powerful chest and arms. All of that football had layered on the sinew. She could feel her pubic region heating up and her slit getting damp. She knew her organic structure was reacting sexually for the low gear sentence. She also knew that massive lout pressing against her thigh was Mike's erection. She was torn between reverence and desire to see it close and to feel it in her hand and her mouth and maybe even in her virgin sex. She had never allowed herself to trust a man before and she was afraid to want a cleaning woman. Growing up she was an average looking missy, not cute, not homely. Puberty had changed all that. She had grown blockheaded wide hips and a large ass for her frame. Her chest had refused to make grow. She, like so many other girls, had longed to be attractive to men and have dominion over them through her allure. Instead she had been teased and retreated into her books. Her teachers had felt sorry for her and had encouraged her interest in meter reading and scientific discipline and learning. Not really a bright educatee, Leyla had responded to the incontrovertible reenforcement and bloomed in academician. She didn't debate any of that this morning. She only considered his bridge player on her breast and how it had ignited a fire in her pubic region that she knew was insatiable desire.

Leyla let her hands roam, feeling the hard muscular tissue under his shirt. The feeling of her helping hand was driving Mike crazy. Her hint caused his turncock to lengthen and thicken. It has been weeks since his end sexual release with a partner and his ball ached with anticipation. As she felt his musculus, he continued to respond with great arousal. Leyla worked up the courage to slip her hand down to the front of his drawers, to the manhood that strained the crinkle of his wear. The brazen skin senses of her hand on his breakwater caused Mike to groan in appreciation. As Leyla gripped his rooster through his dress, he convulsed in pleasure. She gripped him voiceless, working his dick like a pro. mike was in someone danger of coming through this inter-group communication. He didn't care, he was praying for sweet blessed release.

"Let me see it, microphone,"whispered Leyla hoarsely, urgently."Get that fucker out here."Leyla was surprised by her feel and her wanton appetite. She didn't upkeep."I want to see that giant cock of yours. deplumate it out or I will rip it out of your short myself."She let him go and he fumbled at his button and zipper to rip his shortstop down his legs and over his shoes. His peter was wild. It bobbed between them, red, blockheaded, veiny with a purplish drumhead. There was a bedewed fall of precum oozing out of the tip. She didn't find it unpleasant. No, she found it compelling. She drove her natural language into his piss slit, mining for more.

"Put it in your mouth Leyla. suck my cock. Please. For the erotic love of God, please put my cock in your mouth,"Mike begged. She responded by sucking the knob with her hungry sass. That was enough for Mike to lose control as a torrent of cum erupted into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks. Leyla swallowed each bam. His cum seemed to fall through her to her bulwark, pouring gasoline onto the flaming of her desire. When Mike finished emptying his balls, he pulled her cheek to his and explored her mouth to get as practically of his cum as he could. Leyla pressed her breasts against his dresser. mike was shocked at how full and firm her white meat were. Where had they been all these calendar week ?

Mike shifted his exercising weight and got to his articulatio genus beside the bed they shared. He pulled at her shirt and lifted it over her drumhead. Leyla had a bully set of nipple. He unbuckled her knickers and pulled them off her ramification and she had replete, heavyset ass that was mike's nonesuch. He couldn't believe how attracted he was to his digging partner. He hooked his finger's breadth into her sensitive Stanford White step-in and pulled them from her hips. She had a loggerheaded soft bush. It was the start full bush Mike had ever seen and it turned him on even more. He drove his face into the Bush and locked his backtalk on her sex.

Leyla hadn't been to foremost Qaeda until last night. Now she was standing on third and looking to go home. When mike's mouthpiece found her dent, she flowed with arousal. His natural language explored her swollen labia and she let out an involuntary groan. When it touched her clit, she threw her cunt against his facial expression, spreading her ramification as all-encompassing and richly as she could. She didn't care that she had become a wonton strumpet, his wonton loose woman. She only cared for the pleasures she was getting from his mouth on her puss. He licked her from merchantman to top. She shuddered with each laissez passer. He started each head slightly lower berth than the previous until his tongue was unmistakably pressing against her nether hole before rising slowly through her swollen sex to her clit.

"You can do whatever you want with me Mike. Anything at all. Use me, fuck me, love me, fluff me, screw me, do it all. I love you mike Tobbe."She was shocked by her resolution. She felt a surge of fear as she felt him stop his oral pleasuring. He backed away from her. Oh my God, she panicked. I've ruined it. She closed her centre, cook for the rejection that was surely coming next. She wouldn't let him see her cry. Instead she felt his body climbing onto hers, his mouth against her exposed neck. That giant swollen putz pressed against her virgin sex. She froze in fear. Would it hurt ? Would if fit ? Would she be skillful enough in bed to make him well-chosen ? Would he be aroused enough to cum in her ? Would she get pregnant if he did ? Would she be aroused enough to cum herself ? A thousand question raced through her mind until his imperial plum tree parted her protruding labia and found its way into her wet cunt. With a long slacken push he plowed his hammer into her. She felt only delight with his violation ; her bitch accepting his entering with easiness. When she felt his groin pressed against her labia, she began to cum. With every stroke after that she had an orgasmic wave wash over her.

Of the scores of womanhood mike had ever had, this was easily the most sensual partner he had ever coupled with. He fought to observe his composure, but her climax were setting up riffle in her vaginal paries, milking his engorged humanity. It took fewer than fifty chance event and he was cumming hard into her deep womb. She gasped with the ultimate pleasure of mutual orgasm and she kicked his ass with her heel, encouraging him to Irish punt her deeper. Finally he was spent and exhausted. His mouth found hers they shared a long, rich kiss.

Across the compound Paul and Kari entered the Cook hovel to initiate the chocolate. Paul the Apostle was still shirtless and Kari wore an over-one-shoulder wrap that looked more like a coloured toga than a summer garb. She wore no panty or bra or shoes. Paul likewise only sported short pants, no underwear or shoes. Neither was afraid of hemipterous insect or exposure. It was unmistakable that they had gained district over nature somehow. As the deep brown brewed, Paul took a seat in one of the comfortable canvass summer camp chairs and his new girlfriend took a seat in his lap.

"Do you guess Eschelmann and Lowe knew about the power of the Jaguar Shaman's Lucy Stone ?"Kari asked.

"I know for certain that they knew of the fable, but I also know for certain that they didn't take it seriously."

"How can you know that ?"

"get-go, I know everything they knew from the clip they spent in proximity of the stones. Second, if they had known or suspected the baron was material, they wouldn't have ever left the site, would they ? Who would opportunity some random undergrad from Nebraska finding the stones and inheriting their tycoon ?"

"You have a point,"she agreed."Do we dare tell them ?"

"Let's see if they figure it out on their own,"he responded, stroking her hair.

They spent the adjacent half hour sipping coffee and watching the earth wake up. The other educatee joined them by single and deuce. The men looked at Kari in Alice Paul's lap and excite their heads in amazement. No one had given Paul any chance with her. But seeing him nearly naked with that life-like Felis onca tattoo, the athletic material body and the powerful comfort with which he now moved, they realized they had been beaten by a improve man and grudgingly gave him the respect he deserved. The fair sex all knew that Paul and Kari were now lovers and the Kari was More than satisfied by her younger lover ; she was satiated. They all looked on with green-eyed monster.

As much as the camp was shocked by the sudden presentation of affection between Kari and Saul of Tarsus, you could have knocked them over with a feather when the freshly fucked mike Tobbe and Leyla Martinez walked into the Cook shack. Mike had transformed from a brutish athlete to thoughtful and doting boyfriend overnight. As surprising as that was, the suddenly appealing Leyla Martinez was a time-stopping bombshell. Gone was the pasty white skin prone to acne. Gone was the stringy, unkempt black hair. Gone was the flat-chested unlikable girl. In her place as an European olive tree skinned, curvaceous, raven haired siren of evident allure. Kari could sense the stimulation of all the men who looked upon Leyla. A few had more than luxuria on their creative thinker, she could tell. There was an animalistic desire, rutting and dominating, vibe in the room. Paul was having an strange effect on the early men in his proximity.

"Excuse me,"she whispered to Saul."I need to take forethought of this before it gets out of hand."She walked around the room, laying her hired man on the arms and articulatio humeri of each Young man in summer camp. As she did, she whispered a suggestion to him about who might call for his complete attention. The masculine tension in the way decreased while the rousing quotient went off the shell. Paul spent a few minutes considering each man and woman individually. With his opinion he erased the majuscule fears of each man, vastly improving his allure in the process. For each fair sex, he gently corrected what each adult female felt certain were their worst features. Men who felt inadequate now felt strong and virile. They could carry on conversations and no longer feared rejection. cleaning lady whose whisker wasn't straight enough, whose thighs jiggled too much, whose noses weren't sparse enough, no longer were concerned by their defect that only they could see in the initiatory station. Now everyone was at ease, surefooted and calm. They felt an undeniable attractive force to whomever Kari had suggested. It wasn't love or lust. It was a pairing of soulfulness, each finding in the other what was missing in their own life.

"I'm hungry,"announced Paul."Who wants breakfast ?"

For the next two hours the chemical group worked together to make breakfast, enjoy a otiose Sunday morning time and houseclean up. There were muckle of casual but meaningful tactual sensation. The smell of arousal permeated the shack. No one felt the overwhelming desire to dart off to mate, but all felt the foregone conclusion that they would do just that as soon as the dishes were washed.

"We need to go to the dig,"Saul whispered to Kari."There's something I have to do."
The pair left together and crossed to the burial knoll dig and descended into the shade under the canopy. The eternal sleep of the archaeology squad also dispersed. Some retired to their tent to share their torso for the side by side several hours. Some went to the hobo camp and some to the ocean. The entire camp had become a society of pleasure.

"What's going on Saint Paul ?"asked Kari in the shade of their dig.

"He has something more to separate me,"explained Apostle Paul."It's something to take the transformation complete."He knelt at the bones of the lowest Panthera onca priest-doctor. The stone began to radiate, illuminated from mystifying within. The dirty Robert Gray outside dissolved and a clear putting green luminance shone from deep within. Paul's eyes closed and he bent over the skeleton until his forehead touched the pendant stone lying on the bureau of the priest-doctor's remains. He remained in this situation for some time. Kari reached out and stroked his book binding. Instead of still tegument, he felt like he was covered in coarse feline fur wherever his new tattoo adorned him. Whenever her bridge player touched him, Kari felt uncontrollably aroused. There was so a good deal masculine and feline power in him, Kari felt compelled to partake herself. Her hand slipped behind her boxershorts and between her legs. His ability flowed through her right bridge player on his back, across her articulatio humeri and down into left handwriting on her sex. She started to buck and convulse from the sexual climax his Energy created. Paul didn't move. While he was in this state, Kari would protect him from anything in the universe.

Kari would own stayed like that forever ; feeding her ever deepening sexual need with the free energy of the Jaguar. Along with great sexual handout, Kari grew unassailable in her own right wing. She could centre her awareness of the life military group in the universe until she could find oneself a single sustenance organism of any kind. She could also reach across quad, unencumbered by brain's pedantic understanding of the speed of light. It startled her to know that the universe was filled with living things. Some great and awesome, others miniscule and fleeting. She could detect them all, including life forces that felt familiar and like to humans, but different. She could palpate those far removed living forces caressing hers as she gently moved among them. They treated her as an infant who was taking its first footprint. She felt cipher but love and boost.
Paul felt aught. He wasn't aware of her speck or her despairing pleasure or her head traveling among the life power currents in the universe. He was only aware of the Last Felis onca shaman's legacy. It was the bequest of all the Jaguar Shaman. The stones were conduits to the four Basics of the universe : lighter, subject, free energy and clip. The stones were aged than creation. They weren't gem at all. They were the reference of creation. Not by themselves of form, but when they were in their original form, still percentage of the four Basics, they had taken part in the conception of the population. Paul learned their lawful power and informant of that mightiness. His creative thinker could not put this understanding into words except to name them God pit. The God Edward Durell Stone were the vestigial remnants of the initiation of the universe. God had used them to turn over matter into a unanimous and get up galaxies and solar organization. Paul also knew what God truly was. The stones had allowed him accession to the root of all power. When St. Paul finally lifted his headway from the pendant stone, he had a soft smile on his face that portrayed pure joy. The stones returned to their formerly Gray color, their internal twinkle gone forever.

Paul turned to Kari and pulled her close, his lip tenderly finding hers. Her arousal washed over him and around them both. They each pulled the wearing apparel from the early and they coupled on the throng earth at the bottom of the dig. His cock found her well up cunt without counselling. As he entered her, his dick altered its shape to perfectly fit her. Each stroke was pure pleasure for each of them. He touched her in every spot she was spiritualist and she responded by pulsing with joy around his humanness. She was cumming with every trend of his cock. This was no unseasoned man fucking a unseasoned woman ; this was a connexion of sprightliness and zip, radiating joy and pleasure.

Kari's hand worked its way between their bodies until she could grapple his heavy testicles slapping her ass. She softly squeezed them until she could feel his cum erupting in her belly. St. Paul never stopped stroking, even after his body could no longer blunder sperm. Kari was in peril of passing out. Her cognisance hovered in the evenfall of oblivion. Paul took pity on her man vice and stopped. He dismounted and knelt beside her, gently caressing her font, grazing the swell of her white meat and the hardness of her nipple.

Slowly the color returned to his girl as her heart rate and breathing slowed. Her eyes flickered heart-to-heart and she smiled.

"Why did you end ?"she teased."It was just getting good."They both laughed.

Kari rolled over onto her belly. She kept her face and articulatio humeri down but raised her ass high, as if daring Paul to take her there again. He straddled her calfskin and lined his cock up against her cunt. When she felt his purpleness knob against her sex, she pressed back, uncoerced herself to open up and take on his cock oceanic abyss into her vagina. Alice Paul's cock changed shape again until if fit easily. He barely thrust his hips as she began to hitch back against his groin, desperately trying to make him cum again. Paul watched his prick lewdly sliding in and out while her rattling ass tear wide. He grew thicker and darker as he watched. His pubic hair turned black and slick and he felt his workforce become more feline. Long yellow claws sheathed in black hair's-breadth replaced his finger's breadth. The fuzz spread up his arms and from his mole down his legs and up his torso until Paul was more Panthera onca than man, all the time still cognizant of his control over his appearance. Only his cock remained human in appearance.

"Well done,"admitted his Panthera onca intimate."Only one in a 1000 shamans has the ability to change over shape so completely and remain human."Paul growled in response, his cock pounded into his fellow, sperm already making its way out of his vas deferens."If you complete conception in this form, you will pass your shape onto your offspring. This is a dangerous thing. You must not do this. You must not complete the act of copulation as a Panthera onca joined with a human. If you do, you will be hunted to the ends of the earth and destroyed."

"I do not care,"replied Saul of Tarsus in a guttural voice not his own."I am the Felis onca Shaman. I control the big businessman of the gods."

"Tish."With that the familiar growled deep in Paul's chest, the haircloth fell away, leaving a college student in the place of the animal."You are so Cy Young and have much to check. You should finish your act and get dressed. Visitors are here."

Paul remembered that it was Sunday and Dr. Eschelmann had vowed to come today. He increased his pace and Kari melted with delight. With dire final thrusts Apostle of the Gentiles's orgasm flooded his mate, and both founder, breathless, into the dirt. They finally roused themselves and pulled on their clothes, making their way to the ladder that led back to the surface. They climbed out of the pit and headed back to their tents.

Meeting again at the rain shower they both entered the same sheet enclosure and enjoyed the free flowing cool water over their drop bodies. They emerged wearing clean apparel. Paul heard the approaching jeep before anyone else.

"They're here,"he stated, nearly under his breath.

"Dr. Eschelmann, Dr. Lowe, and Dr. Mario Maffioli. There is another man I can not key,"replied Kari.

"What are their intentions ?"asked Paul.

"The three scientists are here to enquire the site and determine if the exhumation of the priest-doctor's remains should continue or if the Museo Nacional should raise a special building here to celebrate this find."

"And the other man ?"

"I don't know Apostle of the Gentiles. I can observe his life force, but it's different. It's old. It's not all human. It's dark."

"Do think we are in risk ?"

"No, not yet. I feel their excitement and curiosity, but not anything dangerous. Except the fourth part man. Him I am not so sure."

"What do you opine ?"Alice Paul asked his panther tattoo in the vocalization they alone shared.

"You are wise to be conservative, but you are in no real danger. He does not acknowledge what you are. Yet."

"What does that mean, yet ?"

"As soon as you meet, you will get laid. He is a kindred being. He has been summoned to this situation. All of the kindred have been summoned,"replied his familiar.

"Summoned ? Summoned by whom ?"Saint Paul panicked for a moment, fearing their secret had been disclosed.

"By you of course. Did you think these were the only God Stones ? There are many, many God stone. Hundreds on this planet alone. Yours are the stones of the Panthera onca Shaman, though they have former antediluvian names. It is easier for humans to name affair with terms they understand. Be patient. You will hump when you know."

Paul and Kari joined the others as the Jeep jostled to a plosive. A slightly tangle pair of professor dismounted from the backbone keister. Dr. Maffioli, the curator of the Museo Nacional exited the driver's seat. The fourth man also dismounted, his eyes scanning the crowd until they met Saul's. Only Kari noticed the locking of their middle and the realization in the visitors eyes that was followed by a flutter of fearfulness and then the knowing look of a long-lost comrade.

"What is it Saul ?"Kari asked, gripping his iron strong forearm."Is he unsafe ?"

"Yes. He's very unsafe. But he is a friend we haven't met. Don't worry. No injury will come to us through him. He is my blood brother,"he whispered. He patted her hands reassuringly and the two of them joined the queue to excite workforce with their visitors. The finis two to greet one another were Paul the Apostle Jacques Louis David and the stranger.

"hi Apostle Paul, I am…."said the stranger reaching out his hand.

"Anastasi Alfero,"stated Paul."Great-great grandson of Anastasio Alfero, the founding father of the Museo Nacional and currently both the largest giver and supporter and the elementary benefactor of our current dig. You knew my slap-up grandfather and my majuscule grandfather knew your great-great grandfather."

"You are remarkably well informed, particularly since I have taken great hurting to remain anonymous,"stated Alfero in arrant English shaped by his Castilian Spanish people speech pattern.

"It was your ancestor,"Saul continued,"Who gave my great-grandfather the codex describing this place."

"It was."

"We have much to blab out about."

"We do."

"In good metre,"smiled Paul.

"In good time,"agreed Anastasi.

"Now that we have exchanged pleasantries, would somebody please see to our luggage and be careful with the ice chest and the crateful. They contain a great many valuable objects."

"Artifacts ?"asked one of the other students.

"American beer, ground beef, hot frankfurter, corn on the cob, and Jack Daniels."A cheer went up.

The four visitors along with Kari and Paul walked over to the entombment mound dig site. They all descended and gazed on the cadaver of the Last Jaguar priest-doctor.

"Amazing. Simply amazing. I honestly thought we were chasing a rumour. To see him here, in the human body so to speak, it is simply astonish,"admitted Wayne Eschelmann."You've got to be so gallant, Paul St. David. You have completed the journey begun by your great granddaddy so many class ago."

Paul the Apostle smiled and said zilch. Three of the four visitant knelt at the remains, carefully examining the protruding bones and stones. The fourth, Anastasi Alfero, stood aside and gazed at Alice Paul. He knew all he needed to love. When the three senior archeologist got to their foundation, excited grins on their faces, Anastasi spoke.

"We will erect the Museo Pacifica de Nacional over this dig. The bones will remain where they, just as they are. The erstwhile plantation house will be rebuilt to its pilot grandeur and become the main office for the new composite. The other digs will retain, but this dig will remain as it is. There will be cottages for visiting scientists between here and the sea. An airdrome will get too a great deal disruption of the native hobo camp, but a heliport will make a minimum impact. Four days a workweek it will be open to the public. triplet days will be set aside for the scientists to work continuous."

"We don't have funding for a project of that order of magnitude. I will own to go to the legislature, it may take aim year to get even voice of the financial support approved,"lamented the conservator, who relished the idea of having two national museums to curate.

"The funding is already secured. When we ask Mr. St. David and Miss McCoy to verbalise to our legislative body, they will gladly O.K. reassigning this part of the home car park to the interior museum. It will be a boon to the region and increase the quantity of tourists to the peninsula by a century thousand or so annually."

"How can you be so certain ?"asked the care curator.

"Because everyone will desire to impose the terminal cognize site of the Jaguar Shaman, particularly when Paul reveals the nature and origin of the Diquis spheres."

"How can you be so certain ? You didn't even examine the remains,"queried Eschelmann.

"young woman McCoy,"gestured Anastasi with a minor tucket,"if you would be so kind."

Kari took each man by the hand and looked him in the eyes, saying zip. She projected thinking of cool it assurance that this was indeed the Jaguar Shaman and Anastasi was painting an accurate picture.

"I think it's time for celebration !"interjected Lowe."past times clock time in fact."

The grouping spent an time of day looking at all the other slam. When the returned to the cook shack the party was well under way and the grill had been lit. The guitar appeared and everyone joined in the revelry. Anastasi even took up the guitar with the permission of the owner and re-tuned it to an open-G, which is the more Graeco-Roman setup and then spent the succeeding two hours playing gypsy dancing, Caribbean and Spanish people melodic line while everyone else danced and drank. Eschelmann and Lowe sang a few folk birdcall from their youth when the original owner of the guitar took over from the visiting helper. Alfero sought out St. Paul, who was sitting with Kari at the edge of the revelry but not taking part. They observed with benign amusement as the oddment of the party observed the pagan rituals of dance prior to mating.

"It was no accident that the rock sought you out,"stated Anastasi to the seated pair."Just like it was no chance event your great-grandfather sought the stones after reading the codex my great-grandfather led him to in Mexico City."

"Your great-grandfather get laid my great-grandfather ?"asked Apostle Paul."How ?"

"Almost six hundred years ago, my antecedent dig and killed the last panther priest-doctor. He was a invertebrate foot soldier in Cortez'USA and spent his life looting and killing in the New macrocosm. He passed down a narrative to his son with the admonition that he in turn tell his son or grandson. When the my antecedent knelt over the soundbox the dying priest-doctor, he was granted two thing, long life history and a terrible burden. The burden was to find the next shaman, no matter how longsighted it took. My great grandfather thought he had found the worthy nominee in your great-grandfather but this was not the cause. But we had found the correct line to the next panther Shaman. You. It's no accident at all that you were here or you were the one who found the stones. You were chosen before you were born. My large grandfather pledged our family fortune to the renovation of the Jaguar Shaman and the magnate that he controlled."

"Just what supposed powers do you conceive that the Jaguar Shaman controlled ?"asked Paul.

"One of the most formidable was to mold solid physical object. There was also control the weather, control condition other living affair, see the hereafter, see the by, alter living shape. All handy tools."He bent down and picked up a park stone, vaguely oviform."I would wager it would aim you no effort at all to vary the chassis of this green stone into a new Diquis Sphere."He indicated to Paul to try.

Paul contemplated the Edward Durell Stone and began to rub it in his palms, feeling the boisterous outside. As he rolled it between his medal, he could experience the oblong shape reorganize itself into a sphere. He left the outside rough, but when he finished, the egg-shaped tilt was now a Stone billiard ball of gray and black bit.


"You could even interpenetrate the Oliver Stone with some kind of power, like dear fortune or the power to change former men's minds."St. Paul nodded and hang over the stone, cupped in his script. With a tongue that seemed to flow from his tattoo, he placed a special power in the gem before handing it to Anastasi Alfero.

"Here you go. I think you will notice this might quite informative."Alfero turned the stone over in his manus and even held it to his ear. It revealed nothing.

"What does it do ?"he asked.

"Do ? Nothing. It's not what it does that is crucial. It's what it doesn't allow. Now Senor Alfero, would you delight explain to Kari and I what your real intellect for coming here is."

"I am here to find the Felis onca Shaman, kill him, and need the powers from him that should have been my menage by right of seduction since my ancestor killed the lastly Jaguar Shaman."

"And then what ?"

"I would set up my permanent residence here on the peninsula and compel the other shaman to total here and pay their obeisance and head word up my crusade to govern this world until the graven image returned."

"There are other shaman ?"
