Xiuhtecuhtli's Tale:
I am Xiuhtecuhtli, the god of fire, time, and the hearth. Flames rise at my command, small and flickering in the homes of mortals, roaring and golden atop the altars of temples. I am the keeper of warmth and light, the guardian of every hearth and the pulse of every year. The people look to me for guidance, for comfort, and for the fire that sustains both life and ritual.
From the smallest flame to the great pyres of ceremony, I see the threads of time woven through the world. Each year turns like the turning of a wheel, each season flows from the one before, and the fire within me marks the passage. I watch as mortals gather around the hearth to share meals, tell stories, and honor the gods. In every spark, I see devotion, in every flicker, I see life.
My fire is both gentle and fierce. It teaches, it transforms, and it endures. I am Xiuhtecuhtli, the eternal flame, present in the quiet warmth of the home and the grandeur of the temple. Through me, time moves forward, seasons change, and the world continues in balance. The light I carry reminds all who see it that even in darkness, there is warmth, guidance, and the steady pulse of life itself.
