Quetzalcoatl

Quetzalcoatl is a creator god that is now lord of the fifth age of the world, which is the world today. He created the world by sacrificing himself at the beginning of time so the world came out of his body, and his reamins became the sky and stars. He created humans with his blood mixed with our ancestor's remains. Quetzalcoatl looks like a huge snake with green feathers and scales. His gifts to us were agriculture, culture, and most importantly chocolate.
