Quetzalcoatl's Tale:
I am Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, god of wind, wisdom, and creation. My body coils between earth and sky, my feathers glinting like sunlight on water. I brought knowledge to humans, teaching them how to plant maize, shape clay, and honor the rhythms of the seasons. I walked among them, guiding, protecting, and inspiring, my presence a promise that the world could be shaped with care and understanding.
But not all welcomed my gifts. Other gods, jealous of my influence, challenged me, plotting my downfall. I faced exile, forced to leave the lands I had nurtured. Yet even in absence, my teachings endured. Corn grew tall, crafts thrived, and the winds whispered my lessons to those willing to listen. My power was not in domination but in what I gave, in the wisdom that could travel farther than any army or weapon.
Now I soar across the skies, my wings stirring the winds, my feathers trailing light across the clouds. I am remembered in the songs of birds, the shapes of rivers, and the patterns of the stars. I am Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, a god of creation and guidance, a reminder that knowledge and compassion can outlast even the darkest betrayals. Wherever life blooms, wherever the wind blows, my spirit moves with it, shaping the world in ways both seen and unseen.
