Yolotl was a member of the group of nahuales. He and his tribe lived in the jungle of Campeche. The nahuales are beings that can be transformed into any animal that has chosen them at birth.

In order for a child to be able to transform himself, many steps must be taken between them. The most important one has to be a newborn that has to be placed in the middle of two hills. After this, the animal that has to be left alone must be left behind. go through the place and lamba the baby will give the power to the boy or girl to be able to be transformed into that animal.

The nahuales the difference of the witches or the werewolves do not become anthropomorphic beings but they really become animals for example boy or girl was lambido by a coyote or by a jaguar this will become the animal.

The nahuales have to meet certain requirements is impossible to keep alive those who have seen their transformation there are certain cases where you can continue to maintain life while reaching an agreement with the nahual.

Tezcatlipoca is the God in charge of the nahuals and the darkness, and Yolotl received a message from him, where he asked him to meet the Emperor and God of the mortals with his tribe, because after the choice of the Tonantzin mother to unify the Pantheons had known other gods such as Anubis and Hades.

I wanted to know firsthand how this God was who had managed to convince Mother Tonantzin and other deities so they could combine

Yolotl left the jungle next to his tribe and headed towards origin civitatem, on the way he could see some large buildings as they were strong wood which surrounded the small villages, in its walls it was possible to see soldiers with a quite different protection which was commonly used by the warriors he knew.

One of these changes was that the Mayan warriors occupied only jaguar skins and otherwise wore cotton shirts and for normal troops was bare body with only a loincloth, but these guards had a bright thing on their breasts and had A weapon very different from the arcs that he knew did not look like an Atlatl he wanted to investigate more but he knew that it would be dangerous to feel it, so they continued on their way.

Another thing that surprised him was to see roads covered in tar, this was surprising why only the Olmec knew how to use it and some cities in the center of the peninsula, but he liked it a lot because his travel time was reduced because a good road was not it presented him with no inconvenience and it was much safer for his tribe that was on the way to the city.

The rest of the trip was quite fluid they only had to camp 2 times, and they did not feel any kind of danger, all because they realized that every so often there was a small wooden fort with a tower on the side of the road in which there were guards They took care of the surroundings and gave rondines 3 times a day, therefore there was no anarchy and security was well assured.

They were not the only ones on the way they could see quite a lot of people sometimes were soldiers with bright shirts and long shields, others were merchants or citizens who seemed to carry goods from different places, the further they went they could see bigger constructions created with what It seemed to be red stone, you are unlike the wooden ones they looked much bigger and sturdier.

After 2 days of traveling they could see a large wall under construction that seemed to be gigantic, they had never seen anything like this but that was not what surprised them if they did not see some small people guiding in the construction and others with pointed ears checking the fishing of the day, to enter the city was a simple process, they only had to say their reasons to the guard, when Yolotl said that he was coming from a tribe of nahuales the guard was surprised and asked to wait for him

While they waited they were taken to a fairly large place where there seemed to be some small people enjoying a drink while they talked, the tribe of Yolotl is not big just 50 people therefore they settled into the place and were served eating.

In the meal they could see fresh fried fish accompanied with a mash of corn, a fret of green sauce and for adults to drink they had schnapps and for the children Papaya water, they enjoyed the food for the first time in a long time they could feel a meal with enough salt, some of them cried because of the great flavor they could taste and the large portion they could eat.
