Can I just say that Quechua is a beautiful language?

As both a native Peruvian who has only spent 7 years in Peru, and a student of Archaeology with an interest in linguistics, I have been looking into learning more about my native culture.

The Incas spoke in a language family we call Quechua, and that they would call Runa Simi ("people's language"). The languages that come from this family have survived to this day and whenever I hear them, I am just a little bit awestruck! One of my main sources for listening is Renata Flores, a fellow Peruvian who sings in Southern Quechua, most likely the Ayacucho dialect based on where she is from. She originally did a few covers of modern songs in Quechua, and now she sings her own original pieces and... Just listen for yourselves! Here is a link to an old cover. Earth Song by Michael Jackson sung in Quechua. I love it, and you all should have the honor of learning about the beauties of this indigenous language.

"Come again?" The witch asked, perplexed.

"I give up. Here, I'll even let you cast a truth spell on me if you aren't convinced. Dispelling the protections now."

She looked at me with this mix of perplexity and curiosity. "Okaayy..." She cast her truth spell on me. "Are you actually surrendering to me?"

"Yep, zero hesitation. I refuse to fight you now." I spoke freely and truthfully.

"Why?!"

"You are a gifted spellcaster in every sense of the word. Not only that but you are built like an Amazon."

"Ok when you put it like that I guess it ma-"

"It is taking everything within me not to get down on my knees and beg for you to crush my head with your thighs!"

"..." Yeah she has no words, that took her completely off guard.

At first we thought it was an illusion and ran all sorts of tests, but there were no trace of illusion magic. Maybe it was evocation? Hell we poked and prodded for every school of magic under the sun. None of this was natural, but none of our explanations stuck either.

Then the kids saw something that shook them to their cores. For just a split second, those wings of hers turned grotesque. None believed them because, well they're kids. We kind of raised them to hate her. But Sata... she seemed different since that day. She was more careful, flew less than she already did.

And then she let herself slip. I saw it with my own eyes...

Naked wings of bloody flesh, always watching you... even when you weren't watching them. Bone, teeth, sinew, all jutting out like there wasn't room beneath the skin. Puss and sickly bruises oozing but not falling. And she was using these abominations to fly around?

You would in fact collapse ecosystems by just taking away the bloodsucking habit. That is the important part.

"Leviathan, the largest of all sea beasts and is said to be an avatar of Old Salt himself. The few that survive an encounter with Leviathan, describe it all differently. For some it's a massive greatwhale, others the largest of all krakens, others say it takes the serpentine form of the sea itself, and so on."
