Power seeks first it's own survival.

The Nasha-sheen had been in hiding since the fall of the great Yucatan cities. No longer a part of the Mayan Civilization, their isolation insulated the Nasha-sheen from the aparant demise of those pyramid builders. In the next milennium, these hidden people studied, watched, and prepared themselves for the coming of the next great leader in power, one who might solve the problems humankind was creating for the rest of the world. The Nasha-sheen watched as their world diminished and other civilizations flooded the wild places, bringing wars and destruction, and they hoped for the change a new leader would bring. Yet they worried. Power was always a threat. Always. And the power within a great leader, a Somi, could rival all the destructiveness all the rest of humanity could conjure with their hatred, violence, and bombs. Somi might be salvation, but Somi could also be the greatest threat of all.
