8/8/2019 24604936 My Story About the Aztecs
1/2
Preface
This will be a story with anime/manga-like characters with
inspirations from Dragonball, DBZ, Final
Fantasy VII, the Gundam Series, and maybe a l ittle bit of Saint
Seiya. I have decided that I want my story
to be based on the mythology, religion and culture of the
indigenous people of the Americas. You know
that tells about their origins, their culture, their mysteries,
their wars, and various other conflicts
I want it to be mainly based on Aztec Culture, but with maybe a
few references to other indigenous
tribes in both North and South America and maybe some cultural
references from China, since the
indigenous people are believed to originate from Asia.
Prologue
Thousands of years ago, man had seemed to reach a new dawn. Man
was beginning to gain intelligence
and make tools. Tools for hunting, tools for gathering, tools
for making fire, tools for transportation. This
revolutionized man for years to come and have made possible for
man to travel great distances and
hunt animals.
Story
Some nomadic tribes invent and discover new tools. The tools
that they created they were using
them for hunting. One day, when hunting for animals they realize
they are lost that they are no longer in
their own land. Little do they know is that they accidentally
went into a new continent while attempting
to hunt for animals.
They scatter across the American continent. One of the tribes
(later known as the Aztec) lived
somewhere in the North (Somewhere in Utah, around Salt Lake).
They gradually emigrate south to find
better land.
The Aztecs eventually find a home that seems promising. It is
where it is now present day
Mexico. There is a huge lake surrounded by huge monstrous
mountains. An Eagle appears out of the
horizon and finds a cactus in the center of the lake. There is a
snake on top of the cactus and the eagle
grabs and eats the snake and flies away. One of the leaders of
the clan says that this is where they will
settle.
The Aztecs make an island in the center of the lake and it
gradually expands, and after 50-100
years, they create a really large and powerful megalopolis with
houses, buildings, infrastructure andmilitary superior to any other
tribe in the continent.
This was at the peak of their prosperity. The population was
said to be anywhere from 4-8
million and about a total of 30-60 million inhabitants in the
Valley of Mexico. They had a vast, powerful
empire that governed and controlled many of the local tribes
such as the Toltec, Maya, Olmec, Mixtec,
Zapotec, Tarascan, Huichol, and many others around the Valley of
Mexico. The Aztecs never forcefully

made them slaves or any of that nature. The Aztecs actually made
them do stuff and cooperate through
moral persuasion, rather than force, and actually offered them
incentive and other forms of
compensation. The Tarascans did the fishing, the Toltecs helped
with the engineering, and so on, and
they would receive in exchange maize, chili peppers, good luck
charms, rituals/dances, necklaces,
bracelets, and many other stuff as incentives.
In some random, ordinary day a boy is playing ball with his
friends in the streets of the city of
Teutihuacan and one of his friends tossed the ball really hard
and it went into the thick forest/jungle.
The boys are very scared to go into the dark forest. They
reluctantly go in there and one of the boys find
a box like stone of a picture of a creature half bird, half
snake. They observe the box and finally open it.
The sky turns dark and out bursts a very strong luminescent
light and appears the God Quetzalcoatl. It is
a beautiful creature, with a thin, slender snake like figure
that rose up into the sky and stood for a while
way up in mid air with its feathers that brightly illuminated
the night sky and radiated a thousand colors.
The 3 little boys were the first to witness the appearance of
Quetzalcoatl. After about a couple
of minutes, the boys begin to speak to the mighty feathered
serpent and ask him what he is and what
his intentions are. The feathered serpent delivers his message
and says
I come in peace. I am the feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl, the
god of all gods. I am the one who
watches all of you humans. I am the one who truly governs these
lands. I have noticed and appreciated
the achievements of you Aztecs, however do not over work the
other tribes or they will rebel against your
tribe and you Aztecs will suffer serious consequences
afterward
The boys return to their homes afterwards and the next day, they
tell their parents and the
towns folks about their encounter with Quetzalcoatl. Nobody
believed them and they thought they
were crazy or just trying to be silly, so the boys were laughed
at and nobody took them seriously.
In the following months, Famine, drought, insects eating the
crops and other disasters occurred
and on top of the, the neighboring tribes were fed up with the
Aztecs and they rebelled against them
and destroyed the crops, burned the fields, stole their animals,
killed some people and raped the
women. They were pretty much leading the place into turmoil.
The Aztecs civilization was nearly destroyed, but not
completely. Montezuma stepped in to
become Emperor and he over time restored order and had his men
help and rebuild the civilization to its
original state. After a few months, the place was just like, if
not better than how it was. Montezuma says
that the boys were right because he too has come in contact with
the great Quetzalcoatl, and he
showed the people to come and follow him in the jungle, where
Quetzalcoatl is.
