In the story of the [[Wikipedia:Five_Suns|Five Suns]], Quetzalcoatl was the second sun to ascend to the heavens after bringing down his brother [[Wikipedia:Tezcatlipoca|Tezcatlipoca]], also known as the Black Tezcatlipoca, the first sun due to a sibling rivalry. Tezcatlipoca took revenge by turning the people at the time, whom Quetzalcoatl was fond of, into monkeys which caused Quetzalcoatl to blow them away. He then stepped down from being the sun to create new people. The third sun was [[Wikipedia:Tlāloc|Tlāloc]] and the fourth sun being [[Wikipedia:Chalchiuhtlicue|Chalchiuhtlicue]], Tlalocs second wife; both of them stepped down from being the sun due to the machinations of Tezcatlipoca.

The fifth and current sun is [[Wikipedia:Huītzilōpōchtli|Huītzilōpōchtli]], also known as the Blue Tezcatlipoca. | ||
