It was not his intention to be known. A good trick leaves no one the wiser, and yet these two new things seemed very wise indeed. They spoke in laughs like he did, and in doing so knew the world to be a game.<em>Fine,</em>thought the Laughing God. "Spread like laughter," Huehehahol replied with an uneasy snicker, as if it were a simple fact. "Breed, lead. Pursue and subdue. But do not chase me into dark places; you are the Bright People, now."<br/><br/>And so, Huehehahol bound north, away from worship. He stepped through the Badlands, darker, and far more grim than he remembered. The air of the place no longer agreed with him, so he continued into the Desert of Glass-- and came across a curious traveller. The shaman spoke to him about another God, a god of Changing Waters. Huehehahol learned that he was not alone. Worse, this world was no longer his-- or at least, his alone. He huffed, and guffawed. "Why are you so sure he is a God? Your tricks do not sound impressive."<br/><br/>"They are not tricks!" The traveller cried, taking affront to such notions.<br/><br/>"Prove it, then," the Trickster God answered with a wolfish grin, his eyes scanning for a target; not too far away he spotted an oasis of glass, clear and blue as the sky. He trotted over, and the traveller followed him warily. "If you can put your trick in the pool where I can see it, then I will be able to tell if it is indeed, a trick." Pride chased away caution, and the witch dutifully produced such a feat of magic that Huehehahol was first amazed, and then deeply envious.
