World to the West

For long dark years he would use his might to make his wrath known.

Through the essence blue, it might grant endless life.

But Tlaloc's mind grew dark, and the people's gifts would please him no more.

Through their power, Chal and Tlaloc gave bounty to the land.

A lens he crafted, to see the threads of times unfold.

And so the world ended. Just a handful were left to start the world anew.

Four wise diciples gathered under her word.

And he gave the disciples the fruits from the founder's tree.

Their beloved people fell by the wayside, forgotten.

In the end, Chal would call down the sky to end the blue fruit's cycle.

Then at last the founders' work bore fruit, and in that she had great hope.

But the truth of this boon, was yet to be revealed.

The land became neglected as the great task commenced.

Mictlan, Chal and Tlaloc moved to cast Xinu from his throne.

The keeper of time, her most trusted one, was appointed in her stead.

So Mictlan rotted in the dark, while Chal and Tlaloc ruled.

The founder fled in the chaos, never seen again.

He worried for the future, what was to be his final fate?

She laid the roots of her greatest masterpiece.

Mictlan loved death and life, and Xinu loved future and past.

Xinu ruled as best he could, and the people flourished.

Together they toiled, attempting to change their people's fate.

Alone on his throne, Xinu now felt despair descend.

Horrified at the brutality, Chal and Tlaloc railed.

Mictlan's most dreaded vision was now complete.

No single word from Chal would end Tlaloc's terrible reign.

Chal and Tlaloc loved rain, sun and sky, and each other even more.

Through the lens, Xinu saw only ruin and despair.

In time, her mind grew powerful, but her thoughts grew dark and grim.

By her command, the people made it theirs.

Mictlan, in his anger, struck Xinu down, his endless life now ended.

The founder came on a ship, spotting fertile land.

Chal was shocked by Mictlan's action, and she bade Tlaloc act.

They had the people take Mictlan, and punish him for his deed.

Of the disciples, one felt that his counsel was much overlooked.

He brought his vision to the founder, and pleaded for her to return.
