The story of the 5 suns.

To celebrate indigenous peoples day, I wrote my own version of the 5 suns story. With my own alterations to try and fit both fate and my own lore. I do hope you guys enjoy it

Many years ago, the four great gods of Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, Xipe Totec, and Huitzilopochtli had wanted to create a world and people to inhabit this world. At first there was just water, and the horrid beast that lived in the water: Cipatli. Cipatli devoured anything and everything that entered the waters. So the gods discussed how to be rid of this beast.

"We must kill this beast!" Huitz demanded. The youngest of the siblings was very impatient, and demanded a solution fast. Though didn't seem to have any solution himself.

"They are a powerful beast, how do kill them?" Xipe Totec questioned.

"If we can get them into a vulnerable state, we could all attack them." Quetz, the smartest among them, suggested.

"Let us use some bait to tempt the beast. It thinks of nothing but eating, so a nice tempting meal should work fine." Tezca insisted on his siblings.

Xipe was hesitant at the idea. "What would be a good enough bait for the monster?" He questioned.

"Why not use your leg, Tezcatlipoca? The beast seems to especially love devouring gods, so you yourself should work fine. It is your idea after all." Quetzalcoatl suggested.

"Fine! I shall do so myself." The smoking god decided.

Tezcatlipoca floated himself above the near endless seas that Cipatli made their home, sticking his leg into the waters. The crocodilian monster raced towards the god, ready to devour him. Just as Cipatli leaped towards Tezca, he leaped away, but it had seemed that he was just too slow. Cipatli managed to bite off his leg.

"AAAAH!" The obsidian god yelled out in pain.

Just as Cipatli jumped out into the air to bite Tezca's leg, the other 3 leaped into action. All ganging up on the beast, tearing it apart and killing them.

Tezca gave himself an obsidian prosthetic leg to replace the one he lost. And then, the gods got started on reworking the monster's body into a landmass for the people.

Once the land was complete, the gods decided that they needed a sun to shine in the sky.

"I should be the sun." Tezcatlipoca boasted. "I'm the highest of us gods. No one is more worthy then me."

Huitzilopochtli felt enraged at his brother's boast. Mostly cause he saw himself as the highest.

Quetz was annoyed by her brother's boasts, but also thought the logistics weren't great. "We serve a very important role, brother. Should we not allow another god outside of us four? I think maybe Coyolxauhqui could work."

"No, I insist! I shall be a great sun!" And before any of the other gods could protest, Tezca flew up into the sky and took the form of a black sun.

The sun didn't shine as brightly as the gods had originally expected. The serpent goddess could add disappointment to the feelings she felt about her brother's actions.

"Brother, you're shining pretty dimly up there. Maybe you're not that cut out for it?" She suspected.

"I'm not dim at all! Maybe your eyes need to be checked?" He taunted.

Some of the other gods, who were originally off in other parts of the new world, observed the new Sun.

"Oh there's a nice new light in the sky. Tho, wish we could see more of the earth." Commented Huixtocihuatl, goddess of salt.

"You be quiet you!" Tezca demanded.

While Tezca fulfilled his duty as the sun, Quetz went onto making the humans that'd inhabit this world. The first go around, the people were very large. They didn't seem very intelligent either, but Quetz loved them regardless. The other gods didn't argue with her, tho did wish they were more intelligent.

After a very long time, the gods and people grew accustomed to the dim sun. But Quetz was still annoyed by her brother. After many years of him boasting, she grew tired and decided to act.

"Ok brother, I have had enough of you and your boasting Bull crap!" She yelled. Rising into the sky with her powerful wings, Quetzalcoatl raised up her Macuahuitl, and spiked her brother down onto the earth below!

"Why you piece of shit!" Tezca yelled out. In retaliation, he turned into a huge mighty jaguar and devoured all of the giant humans Quetz created. In shock and horror, Quetz attacked Tezca in response.

Eventually many other gods had to separate the two from their fighting. After this, Quetz took up the role of the sun. The other gods decided to create new humans. These humans were smaller than the originals, and seemed smarter too.

As the sun, Quetzalcoatl shined much brighter then Tezcatlipoca. The humans and gods seemed to appreciate this. Tho Tezca wasn't exactly a fan of this.

Over time, the humans seemed less appreciative of the gods. They slowly stopped praising them, stopped praying and stopped building temples. Many of the gods didn't appreciate this.

"Why have the humans stopped praising us?!" Questioned Huitzilopochtli. "how could they be so ungrateful!?"

"Maybe we aren't as cut out at human making as Quetzalcoatl was?" questioned the water god, Tlaloc.

"Maybe them being smaller is the problem?" The god Xochipilli thought.

Eventually, the humans even stopped being so intelligent. Running almost entirely on base instincts, acting the same as animals.

"I have had enough of these pathetic humans!" Tezca yelled out. "I shall give them a form fitting their actions."

Then the god turned all the humans into monkeys. Seeing this, Quetzalcoatl was outraged! In retaliation, she whipped up a powerful wind storm, destroying most everything on the surface of the earth. Blowing away almost all of the monkeys. Leaving only those who hid in caves or the like.

Quetzalcoatl had stopped being the new Sun, instead continuing her duty of being the one to create humanity.

The gods reconvened in Teotihuacan to decide who'd be a better sun.

"I think our duties are for too important to let them go to be the sun." Stated Xipe Totec. "We should have a god outside of us 4 fulfill the duty."

"Who would be able to do such a thing?" Questioned, Tezca.

"I think I know a very good candidate for such a duty." Huitz said confidently, as he raised himself up. "My good friend Tlaloc would be more than worthy of fulfilling such a duty."

"Maybe he would be a good fit?" Considered Quetzalcoatl. "We have other rain gods to help fill the void he'd leave while as sun."

"Tlaloc you say? His wife is very beautiful, but demanding. Are we sure this would not upset her?" Tezca commented.

"She shall be fine!" Huitz insisted. "Beside, I shall help make time for them to meet up on occasion."

And so the other gods agreed, albeit somewhat reluctantly, to have Tlaloc be the next sun. The rain god was honored, and more then ready to attempt to fulfill the duty.

As he was doing so, Quetzalcoatl went about to make new humans again. They were the same size as the previous ones, but already felt more appreciative of the gods then their predecessors.

While Tlaloc was busy with his duty as the sun, Tezcatlipoca saw an opportunity. He went to the now more lonely Xochiquetzal.

Xochi was surprised to see the dark god in her chambers. "Oh, Tezcatlipoca! What brings you here?" She asked.

"Well, I knew that since your husband was busy with his sun god duties, I figured you might be lonely without him around." Tezca explained to her.

Xochi then got a somewhat downtrodden look on her face. "You are correct. However it isn't just his sun duties that make me feel lonely." She expressed.

Tezca raised his eyebrow in curiosity. "Oh? What else could be troubling you?" He asked.

"Even before this, I have seen him talking so closely to my sister Chalchiuhtlicue. I don't know what they speak of, but sometimes he seems to forget about me when this happens. I feel he doesn't have the same love for me anymore." She explains.

"Oh?! How a fool like Tlaloc be so blind as to ignore such a beautiful wife?" He asks, while getting closer to Xochiquetzal. "He has hurt you so much, hasn't he?"

Xochiquetzal nodded her head.

"Would you like to hurt him back? I can help you." Tezca tells her.

The two then started to get intimate.

After some time, Tezca brought out Xochi into the open, in plain view of Tlaloc and the other gods. "Hey Tlaloc! Watch this!" He yelled out.

As Tlaloc and the other gods watched on, Tezcatlipoca and Xochiquetzal kissed passionately in front of everyone.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Tlaloc yelled out.

Huitz, was also enraged. "BROTHER! You cannot take away his love like that! I command you stop this immediately!"

"I shall listen to no command from you, little brother!" Tezca responded back.

The new pair then ran off to continue their acts out of sight.

Now in a depressive state, Tlaloc had stopped the rain altogether. The earth started to dry up thanks to this.

With the plants, animals and people struggling to survive thanks to this, the gods struggled to think of a solution.

"I am going to rip his heart out of his chest myself!" Quetz yelled out about Tezca.

"That's not going to help the current situation, sister." Xipe stated.

Quetzalcoatl also held the youngest of siblings, Tlazolteotl, with her. When not creating and watching over humanity, she also helped care for the young goddess.

"You do not do that with someone's wife!" Huitz yelled. "He deserves retribution!" He demanded.

"We can consider that another time. This drought is a much bigger problem." Xipe tried to tell his siblings.

In the meantime, many humans would beg for Tlaloc to bring about rain. Most were persistent that with time he'd return the rain. However some had lost faith, and turned to other ways to help. One village decided to sacrifice one of their own to the underworld lord, Mictlantecuhtli. This female sacrifice would give her life to protect her family, and would eventually go on to become the lady of the dead, Mictecacihuatl.

Unfortunately, the begging from the majority of humans would grate on Tlaloc. He grew tired and decided enough was enough.

"Oh, you demand rain so much?! Fine! Then you shall have it!" He said, before bringing forth a rain of fire to destroy the land, and its people.

In the midst of this, he did not see Quetzalcoatl coming in, enraged at his actions. Just like with Tezca, she spiked him out of the sky and onto the scorched earth below with her Macuahuitl.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING THE LAND?!" She questioned him.

"I have had enough of the humans constantly begging for rain. This is what they get." Tlaloc said back.

All this got him in return was a threatening look from Quetzalcoatl. But before she could continue any attacks, the other 3 great gods came in.

"It is clear we need a different sun god." Xipe Totec stated. "You made a good effort, but we shall be trying with someone else instead."

Tlaloc then decided to return to his realm of Tlalocan and forget about this. But before he could, Tezcatlipoca still had something to say.

"Before you leave. You should know, Xochiquetzal birthed your child. At least I assumed she's yours. It is far too early to be mine." He stated.

Surprised at this, Tlaloc went off to get the child. He may have lost the marriage with Xochiquetzal, but he refused to lose his child too. The child was the goddess of drought, fittingly, and was named Atlacoya.

In the scorched remains of the earth, Quetzalcoatl found the body of a burnt bird-like animal. She felt horrible for the creature, and taking pity on it, used her blood to bring it to life. This would turn the animal into the wind deity, Ehecatl.

Meanwhile, in Tezca's realm of Mictlampa, a lone human found himself in the God's presence after death. The human had cursed the sun in his last moments. Tezca had found respect in this, especially since he still harbored Ill will towards Tlaloc in regards to Xochiquetzal. So in gratitude, he had made the human into his second, Tepeyollotl.

After the dust was settled, the water goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, Tlaloc's new wife, took the role of the sun next.

The goddess took to caring for the humans, giving them all the water they needed.

While Chalchiuhtlicue excelled at being the new Sun, Quetzalcoatl decided humanity was in need of a new food source. She had discovered an ant carrying a corn kernel, and so disguised herself as another ant to follow behind. Then Quetz eventually discovered a mountain of food, mostly maize.

"Oh so much food! I should take these back to the humans. They could use this food.

As time went on with the humans being so appreciative to Chalchiuhtlicue, Tezca started to become suspicious of her.

"Chalchiuhtlicue" Tezca called out.

The water goddess was suspicious of him, knowing what he had done to her husband. "What do you want?" She asked.

"Why do you spoil the humans so much? What did they do to earn this?" He questioned.

"There was no earning." Chal stated. "I just appreciate them and their prases. Humans like being treated well."

"Oh? Could it be that you're only doing this to take all their attention for yourself!?" He accused her.

Chalchiuhtlicue was so very hurt by this accusation. "H-how dare you!?" She yelled. Before crying an endless amount of tears. Flooding the earth, and ending humanity once more.

Quetzalcoatl had grown more and more impatient with her brother, Tezcatlipoca. "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, BROTHER! I will have no more of this!"

"Enough you say? Ha! You're too soft, birdie! Growing so attached to these humans. It only clouds your mind." Tezca said to her.

Quetzalcoatl, growing impatient, attacks him. Breaking off his prosthetic and attacking him with it. "No more! I will not allow you to end humanity anymore! Be gone to your Mictlampa! We do not need you to create the next world." She yelled.

"Fine, I'll leave. But I shall return, and you'll regret this." He stated.

Most of the gods went about trying to pick a new Sun. But Quetz, growing tired of making humans over and over, decided to do some recycling.

She went to the gates to Xibalba, and was greeted by her twin, Xolotl.

"Sister!" Xolotl exclaimed excitedly. "It's great to see you!" She said, hugging Quetz.

"It's great to see you too, Xolotl." Quetz responded in kind.

"What brings you here?" Xolotl asked.

"Well, I wish I could say it was just to visit, but I need to get in there." Quetz told her twin.

"Oh?" Xolotl said, cocking her head like a dog's. "Whatever for?"

"Our brother Tezca has caused the end of another earth, and I grow tired of making humans from scratch. So I have decided to just bring the bones of humans back from Xibalba to speed it up." She explains.

"Ooooh. I don't think that's a great idea" Xolotl says in response.

"Well that's where you come in!" Quetz says. "I need you to help me in, and to distract the lords of Xibalba so I can get the bones and get out." Quetz explained to her sister.

"Oh! That should work then!" Xolotl says.

Meanwhile, as this was happening. Coyolxauhqui saw that this time most of the gods were more preoccupied then others and saw this as an opportunity. "Too long have you angered us, mother." Coyo says to herself. "Why does he get so much of your love?! And we get almost nothing?!"

Her sister, Malinalxochitl grew worried. "Coyo, it is not wise to just attack mother. You know Huitzilopochtli will retaliate in kind."

"I DO NOT CARE!" Coyo yelled out. "He is just a spoiled brat! He is not the all powerful being he claims himself to be, I shall destroy both him and mother!"

Back in Xibalba, Xolotl was successfully distracting Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl. Giving Quetz the chance to steal the bones.

As she picked up the bones, a small figure revealed herself to Quetz. "Oh! You must be the princess." Quetz said, addressing the young goddess.

The princess of Xibalba, Nexoxcho, stood in front of Quetzalcoatl. She was still young and so was also still very small.

"Young lady. If you could just go back and return to your chambers, that'd be apprec-"

"MOTHER! FATHER! THE BONES ARE BEING STOLEN!" The princess screamed out to her parents.

Quetz could only make an annoyed face in response to this.

She and Xolotl found themselves in front of the queen and king of Xibalba.

The skeletal figure of Mictlantecuhtli was very annoyed by this development. "What is the meaning of this?!"

"I need to recreate humans again, and I have grown tired of creating them from scratch, so I decided to recycle some bones." Quetz answered honestly.

The queen whispered in her husband's ear. He seemed to roll his eyes in response to what she said, but still agreed. "Ok, we shall give you the bones. But only if you play our shell, while dancing in a circle 3 times." The king said.

"Y'know, weird things like this are part of why the hero twins killed your predecessors, Mictlantecuhtli." Xolotl said.

"Silence! I am attempting to be reasonable." He explained.

Meanwhile, back in the heavens, the primordial goddess Coatlicue found herself besieged by one of her daughters.

"So this is the thanks I get for raising you?" She states.

"Raising us?!" Coyo yells in frustration. "That's what you call neglecting us, and giving all your favor to that brat?!"

"Enough sister!" Malinal pleaded. "She is not worth the anger."

"No! I shall have the blood that's owed to me" Coyolxauhqui stated

And in an instant, a slash went through Coatlicue's neck. Her head had fallen to the ground.

"Yes!" Coyo yelled in response.

But before she could Celebrate, two enormous snake heads emerge from the stump. "YOU FOOLISH GIRL!" The heads yelled in unison.

Before long, Coyo found herself sliced in pieces. The plasma hot flames of Xiuhcoatl slicing her flesh like butter.

"Sister!" Malinal said in horror.

Huitz was then seen floating the pieces of his elder sister. "What an ungrateful sister. To dare to cut off mother's hea-"

But before he could finish, the pieces of Coyolxauhqui found themselves floating back up together. "What is this?!" He yells out in anger.

"I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!" The floating head of Coyolxauhqui screams.

Back in the underworld, Quetzalcoatl found the shell that Mictlantecuhtli gave her lacked holes. So to remedy this, she dug deep into the ground and grabbed earthworms to drill holes into it. She then called upon bees to make the sound.

When the King and Queen saw she managed to complete the task, she was sent on her way with the bones. But the princess still wanted to pay 1 more trick.

"Dont think you're getting away without one more 'gift' serpent" Nexo said.

Having her mother's attendants dig a pit ahead of Quetz, and placing a Quail at the edge. Quetz tripped and fell into the pit. Causing the bones to snap in the fall.

"Oh no!" Quetz said!

"Wait! Maybe we can still save them." Xolotl said.

They had gathered them back up and then spilling blood upon them, new humans were born.

Meanwhile, in Teotihuacan, Xipe Totec had two gods ready to try and become the sun. They were to throw themselves into a great pyre. However before they could start, Huitzilopochtli, being chased behind by Coyolxauhqui both fell into the pyres.

"What is happening?!" Xipe yelled.

"BROTHER! GIVE ME YOUR HEAD!" Coyolxauhqui said, now burning with ashy flames.

The eagle and jaguar for the ceremony, not realizing what went wrong, lifted both gods into the sky. There, they became the sun and moon. With their constant movement fueled by the chase for vengeance Coyolxauhqui desired.

And that is how the world was created.

Hope you guys liked that story! I don't do this stuff often, but it's still very fun. Lemme know if you want anymore myth retelling.
