5 The God Of War The God Of War
The fifth sun had come and gone and it was now the age of the sixth sun. The sun god, Huitzilopochtli, was all alone in the world at this time so he decided to create cities, people, and a goddess to be his wife. Her name was Coatlicue. A couple months after the Sun God made his wife, she had a son, Tezcatlipoca. The odd thing with the son was that he wasn’t born a baby, he was born an adult. He demanded that his mom not have any other children or he would kill her. She didn’t believe him so she went on and had four more children, three sons, Ixtililton, Xochipilli, Mixcoatl and a daughter, Coyolxauhqui. When the first son found out he grew furious. He went on a rampage, killing his mother first, and one by one he defeated and killed his brothers because he was too strong for them to kill. While this was happening his sister ran off and hid where her older brother couldn’t find her. After Tezcatlipoca killed his three brothers he noticed that his sister was nowhere to be found. He searched for a little while but then decided that his sister could not fend for herself or be able to survive alone so he left.

6 The God Of War Once, Coyolxauhqui saw that he was far enough away she came out of hiding. She had seen everything that her brother did to her mother and brothers and at that point she knew that she had to make it her life long journey to hunt her brother down and avenge her families death.  Three long grueling years passed before Coyolxauhqui found Tezcatlipoca ruling in a far far away city. During those three years Coyolxauhqui had learned how to fight from the best warriors in all of the cities she passed through. Also, before she left, a renowned shield and sword maker had made her the strongest shield and the sharpest sword in the whole entire world. Coyolxauhqui was very confident that she could defeat her brother. As she approached the temple where her brother resided, however, she grew very nervous and anxious because this had been the day she was waiting for, for pretty much her whole life. When she finally got to the top she went up to her brother, who didn’t recognize her at first, and explained the reason she was there. He grew angrier and angrier as she explained until he finally couldn’t take it anymore so he got up and yelled for his guards to come and kill her. Coyolxauhqui easily killed all of the guards and her next target was Tezcatlipoca. It took a while to do but eventually Coyolxauhqui defeated her evil brother.
