Story:
Every planet is named for a god. Take Mars, or Venus, or Jupiter. There's a reason for this, besides purely nominal purposes, since each of them watches and reigns from his namesake residence, not mount Olympus, as the Greek thought.
But there is one, lost to the western world, but remembered by the ancient peoples. He keeps separate from the bunch, and even his planet only skims the outskirts of our skies. For he is Xocaquialotl, God of celestial motion, astrology and prophecy. Unseen and enigmatic, it is he, who controls the paths of our heavenly bodies, shapes the delicate pattern of celestial orbits, bestows eclipses on disobedient, and full moons on the faithful.
Expressed in the dance of the stars, the future lies open before him, thus he patronizes astrologists, prophets and seers alike. But those who fall out of his favor might find themselves in for an unpleasant surprise. For the false prophesies he would whisper are more dangerous than floods or locusts.
Our ever expanding civilization is now on the edge of space conquest, much like the Spanish once were on the edge of the New World, bizarre and unknown. When we come to the 9th planet, what will we find?
