To see the future clear at last, first you gather all the past.
For long dark years he would use his might to make his wrath known.
But Tlaloc's mind grew dark, and the people's gifts would please him no more.
He worried for the future, what was to be his final fate?
Four wise diciples gathered under her word.
And he gave the disciples the fruits from the founder's tree.
Michlan loved death and life, and Xinu loved future and past.
A lens he crafted, to see the threads of times unfold.
She laid the roots of her greatest masterpiece.
Through the essence blue, it might grant endless life.
The founder fled in the chaos, never seen again.
And so the world ended. Just a handful were left to start the world anew.
Then at last the founders' work bore fruit, and in that she had great hope.
Chal and Tlaloc loved rain, sun and sky, and each other even more.
But the truth of this boon, was yet to be revealed.
Through their power, Chal and Tlaloc gave bounty to the land.
Together they toiled, attempting to change their people's fate.
Horrified at the brutality, Chal and Tlaloc railed.
Their beloved people fell by the wayside, forgotten.
The land became neglected as the great task commenced.
Michlan, in his anger, struck Xinu down, his endless life now ended.
Michlan, Chal and Tlaloc moved to cast Xinu from his throne.
Michlan's most dreaded vision was now complete.
So Michlan rotted in the dark, while Chal and Tlaloc ruled.
Xinu ruled as best he could, and the people flourished.
The founder came on a ship, spotting fertile land.
Chal was shocked by Michlan's action, and she bade Tlaloc act.
By her command, the people made it theirs.
In time, her mind grew powerful, but her thoughts grew dark and grim.
In the end, Chal would call down the sky to end the blue fruit's cycle.
The keeper of time, her most trusted one, was appointed in her stead.
Through the lens, Xinu saw only ruin and despair.
Alone on his throne, Xinu now felt despair descend.
No single word from Chal would end Tlaloc's terrible reign.
He brought his vision to the founder, and pleaded for her to return.
Of the disciples, one felt that his counsel was much overlooked.
They had the people take Michlan, and punish him for his deed.
