The World of Mixkoa
Long,
long time ago there was only darkness, but something was growing there,
something very tiny, it was a small flash, but it soon became bigger
and bigger, until all the universe was covered in light, and there he
laid. His name was Mixkoa. Mixkoa, lived there for a long time, but he
was very lonely, tired of this, he kindled a small fireball to give him
warmth and company, his name was K’iin. Both begin to grow fast and
strong, but they wanted something more, something to give them meaning,
so Mixkoa and K’iin agreed to create Tlal. But Tlal was too far away
from them, so they created Painal, but he was very far away as well, seven times they tried and still they didn’t accomplish what they wanted, they wanted someone special, someone to live for, to give their
lives a meaning and a purpose, so they decided they were going to
create something, not like the other ones, this one will be very special, it will take a lot of time, love and care, but it will be worthwhile.
They created Kaab. Kaab was strong beautiful, full of life, he had rivers,
and oceans flowing through his veins, but he also had lovely green spots of lands. Mixkoa and K’iin had Kaab, but now they didn’t know what to
do with him. Mixkoa and K’iin were desperate; they needed to feel they
had something to make them meaningful, still they hadn´t found their
purpose in life. Years, and years passed by, and so the question remained, until one day Kaab felt something, he felt something was
moving inside him. So he talked to Mixkoa and K’iin, and told them what
he felt, so they looked closely and saw a tiny animal, a mixture of a
crocodile and a fish, and they named him Tiktaalik. They were so happy,
and they realized they now had a big purpose, they needed to take care
of him, so Mixkoa and K’iin came together to discuss what they had to
do. So they created Kuu, to give Tiktaalik darkness so he could sleep and rest. Years passed and now Tiktaalik was no longer alone, more animals were growing inside Kaab, there were animals that could fly, others who could swim, others who could run in forests, desserts or
jungles. Mixkoa,
was so happy of all of he had created, K’iin gave warmth to Kaab, Kuu
gave darkness for the animals to rest, and Kaab gave them shelter, now
they all had a purpose in life, they were meaningful.
