children lived in the 13th heaven with their parents of these children tis Kotla polka was the most powerful together the four children of the dual God decided that they would like to create a world and some people to live in it took them several tries before the world became the way we know it today because the gods fought over who should be the son and ruled the earth the first attempt at creation was made by Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli first they made a fire which was the Sun but it wasn't big or strong enough to give much lighter heat as it was only half of a Sun after they made the Sun Quetzalcoatl and Witsel lapolt li made a man and a woman they called the woman Oakes omocha in the man sheep octonal the gods told the man and the woman what work they were to do the man was to be a farmer while the woman's duty was to spin thread and weave cloth the gods gave the woman the gift of maize some of the grains were magical and could cure illnesses or help foretell the future together Oakes omocha and CPAC tonal had many children who became the mossy Holland the farmers who worked the land even though there was already a half Sun and even though they were already a man and woman the gods had not yet created ton this they did by making days and months each month at 21 days and when 18 months had gone by this made 360 days and that span the gods called a year after there was a son a man and a woman and time the gods created the underworld which was called machlin then Quetzalcoatl and Witsel opposed we made two other gods to rule over this place they were called machlin to cool a and make T cos I want the Lord and Lady of mifflin when all this was done Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli created some water and in it they placed a giant fish the fish was called C partly and the earth was made out of the body of the fish Ochs omocha and seep octonal had a son named pelts and acutally the gods looked upon him and saw that he had no wife at that time there was a goddess of beauty and young women called Sookie Quetzal flower Quetzal feather the gods took some of Sookie castles hair and from it they made a woman to be Piltz and coot Lee's wife the gods looked at all the things they had created and they were not satisfied with them especially with the Sun which was too weak to give much light Tezcatlipoca thought about how to make the old Sun brighter but then he thought of a better idea he turned himself into the Sun this new Sun was much better than the old one it was a whole Sun and it gave enough light to the world that gods had made this was the beginning of the first age of the world the age of the first Sun the gods also wanted more beings in their new world they made a race of giants who ate nothing but pine nuts the Giants were very large and very strong so strong were these giants that they could uproot trees with their bare hands so for a time Tezcatlipoca shone brightly over the world the gods had made but after this world that existed for thirteen times 52 years formed 676 years Quetzalcoatl thought his brother had reigned as the Sun for long enough he took his club and struck his Kotla polka with it sending him plummeting down down down into the waters that encircled the world discount lopaka was very angry that Quetzalcoatl had done this he rose up out of the water in the shape of a giant Jaguar and in the ship he roamed about the whole earth the Jaguar hunted all the Giants and about every one of them once all the Giants had been eaten Tezcatlipoca rose back up into the heavens where he became the constellation Jaguar Ursa Major the second age of the world was the age of the second Sun this was the age of wind Quetzal quan made this world and Quetzalcoatl was the Sun during this age the massive Bali's lived in this age eating nothing but pine nuts the second age also lasted for six hundred seventy-six years until Tuscola polka took his revenge on his brother Tezcatlipoca came to the world in a blast of wind so great that Quetzalcoatl and the massif onyx were blown away although some of the muscle qualities escaped the blasts these turned into monkeys and they ran away into the jungles to live after the time when the second son was complete the god of rain whose name was plainly he who makes things sprout became the son and ruler of creation and his age is the age of the third son this age lasted for seven times 52 years or 364 years during this age the people ate the seeds of a plant that grew in the water but again Quetzalcoatl destroyed this world he brought down a rain made a fight and all the people were turned into births after Quetzalcoatl ended the reign of play law it gave the world to play Locke's wife Chowchilla Kwai Jade's skirt woman to rule chao le quai was the goddess of rivers streams and all manner of waters she was the son for six times fifty two years or three hundred twelve years this fourth son age was a time of great rain it ranged so long and so hard there was a great flood that covered the earth the flood washed away the massive Wallice turning them into fish after the flood was over the sky fell down and covered the earth so that nothing could live on the gods looked upon the world they had made and saw how it had been destroyed by their quarreling Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca made peace with one another and went down to rebuild the work the gods each went to one end of the world where they transformed themselves into great trees with their mighty tree limbs they pushed the sky back up into its place and they hold it there still the god Tony cut acutally the father of Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca looked down and saw that the brothers had ceased their fighting and had worked together to mend what their anger had broken toe Nakata cooling therefore gave the brothers the starry heavens to rule and he made a highway of stars for them to use as they traveled this highway is the Milky Way then the gods created new people to walk upon the earth once the sky had been put back in its place Tezcatlipoca took flint and used it to make fires these fires lit the world for the old son had been destroyed in the flood and a new one had not yet been made also there were no people for the Giants had all been devoured and the people had all been turned into monkeys birds and fish so Tezcatlipoca met with his brothers to take counsel about what to do together they decided that a new son would have to be created but this would be a new kind of Sun one that ate human hearts and drank human blood without sacrifices defeated this Sun would cease to shine and the world would return to darkness once more so the gods made four hundred men and five women and these were to be food for the new son some say that Quetzalcoatl and Leila each wanted their sons to become the fifth son and that these gods each took their sons to one of the great fires that have been kindled Quetzalcoatl son had been born without a mother the God through his son into the fire first and he became the new son his son rose out of the fire and whinny to the sky where he still is to this day Blaylock waded into the fire had nearly burned itself out he took his son whose month was Chowchilla Quentin and threw him into the glowing embers in ashes clay-like Sun rose out of the fire and went into the sky as the movie because Quetzalcoatl son went into the blazing fire he became a creature of fun and glows for the light that is too bright to look in but because laylock son went into the embers in ashes his light is dimmer in his face is splattered with ashes and this is how night became divided from dead and why the moon in the Sun crossed the sky in different ways in along different paths but another tale tells how the sickly God Anna Watson willingly sacrificed himself to become the fifth son the gods had gathered at the great city of Teotihuacan to discuss how they might make a new Sun to replace the old one that had been destroyed by the flood one of them needed to jump into the bright bonfire and then rise into the sky nana watson god of disease whose name means full of sores came for i will do this thing he said even though my body is diseased and bent and even though my skin is covered with leprosy the other gods laughed at not watson they said you silly fellow your sickly and weak you will not have the courage to jump into the fire but someone else become the Sun then the Cuza staccato the one from the place had become came forward he was a most wealthy gun well made in his BUN and well dressed with all manner of gold and feather ornaments I will do this thing he said vote would be better than a healthy God make this sacrifice than a sickly one the other gods agreed that it should be so and caused a great fire to be kindled while this was being done the coup sista cotton and naina Watson retired to places where they might fast and prepare offerings to purify themselves so they would be worthy to become the new Sun D kusa staccato prepared offerings that were made of the finest things of jade and Quetzal feathers and balls of gold none of Watson's offerings were humble reads and the spines of the maguey cactus at the appointed time the coozes to connell and the other gods gathered around the fire the wealthy got dressed in his best finer strode up to the great blaze with it's searing heat he made us to throw himself in but at the last minute he balked and walked away again he tried but he could not bring himself to jump into the flames he tried again and yet again but each time his courage failed after the fourth time he walked away from the bonfire and from the other gods a shame that he had not been able to turn himself into the Sun is he boasted he would do the other gods wondered how they would make a new Sun since Dooku staccato had failed to jump into the fight but all was not lost Nanak Watson had not forgotten his offer to become the new Sun and he had also fasted and purified himself so they might be a fitting sacrifice the sickly God stepped forward dressed in garments made of paper and walked straight up to the raging fire he stared into the heart of the place for just a moment then threw himself into the very heart of the flames Nana Watson's hair was ablaze his clothing was ablaze his skin crackled with the heat of the flames that licked all around his body Tikku sista Connell saw the currents of the sickly Nana Watson and was deeply ashamed so he also stepped forward and jumped into the flames with Nana Watson in Eagle when a Jaguar had been watching the sacrifice - they saw the courage of Nana Watson and - Cuza staccato and so they joined the guns throwing themselves among the flames this is why the Eagles feathers are tipped with black in one that Jaguar is covered with black spots this is also why the Aztecs created the orders of the eagle and the Jaguar to honor their bravest warriors after the Eagle and Jaguar had thrown themselves into the fire the other gods waited to see what would become of Donna Watson and Tikus is to come slow slowly light began to Rim the world the gods looked all around wondering where the source of the light was then suddenly not a Watson burst forth over the eastern horizon covering the world with the brightest light his sacrifice transformed him from the lowly sickly leper God into a new Sun God Olin Tona TV whose name means movement of the Sun but the coozes to come had also transformed by his sacrifice and shortly after Nana Watson rose into the sky so deity Cuza staccato and now the gods had a new problem for there was not one but two suns in the sky and the light they made together was too bright for anyone to see anything one of the gods snatched up a rabbit that was near buying and flung it into the face of two coozes to calm the rabbit it to kusa staccato so hard that his light was dim that was how the moon was created and the shape of a rabbit was now permanently marked on his face then the gods rejoiced for now they had both a Sun and a moon but their joy was short-lived for tonetti refused to move from his place in the sky until all the gods had sacrificed themselves to it the other gods grew angry and refused to do this thing but tonot II was steadfast he would not move until he had drunk the blood of the other gods - Louise cow pant acutally Lord of dumb who is the morning star said I will stop donut to you I will save you from having to be sacrificed Tok we scalp aunt acutally threw a dart at Tony tee with all his might but it missed tone atif threw a dart of his own back at the morning stop hitting him in the head this changed tell three scalp aunt acutally into it's like Cola Yuki curved obsidian the god of coldness frost in AB City and this is why it is always cold right before the Sun rises the other gods realized they could no longer refuse what tonot eat demand they came before him with bare breasts and Quetzalcoatl cut out their hearts with a sacrificial knife once the gods had been sacrificed Quetzalcoatl took their clothing in ornaments and wrapped them in two sacrificial bundles these sacred bundles were then worshiped by the people sated with the blood of the Gods tonot II began to move across the sky and he has done so ever since and this was the birth of the fifth Sun the Sun under which all life lives to this day but still the people offer blood and hearts to the Sun to ensure that he is satisfied and to keep him on his sacred path across the sky please know that there is no
