So, Ometecuhtli and Omesihuatl created four brothers: Red Tezcatlipoca, Black Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli. Six hundred years passed during which the gods did nothing. After this time, the four brothers gathered to decide what to do next. Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli were given the task of creating fire. The gods also created the Half Sun, which did not illuminate the world sufficiently.
Then they created man and woman, and gave them the names Oshomoko and Zipactonal; the man was sent to cultivate the land, and the woman to spin and weave. The woman was given maize grains with which she had to perform rituals.
They also created a calendar in order to measure time; it consisted of 18 months of 20 days each.
Then they created the Ruler and Ruler of the Underworld - Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, so that they would rule in Mictlan - the World of the Dead.
Then they created thirteen heavens and water, as well as the fish Sipaktli, so that it lived in the water.
They created the god of water, Tlaloc, and his sister Chalchihuitlicue (whose name means: She Who Wears a Skirt of Green Stone), who lived in a house with four rooms and a courtyard, where there were four large vessels with water, with the help of this water they made rain. Tlaloc created for himself many little helpers - tlalocs - so that they would help him make rain.
Then the four brothers-gods gathered again, and from the fish Sipactli they made the Earth, which they called Tlaltecuhtli.
From the marriage of the first man and the first woman, a son was born, who was named Piltzintekuhtli. Since he did not have a wife, the gods made him a wife from the hair of the goddess Xochiquetzal. From this marriage all other people were born.
Then, seeing that the Half Sun created earlier gave almost no light, the gods decided to make a real Sun
