So spoke Heart of Sky, Hurakan, Chipi-Cakulha, Raxa-Cakulha, Tepeu and Gucumatz, the Bearer and Begetter, Xpiyacoc and Xmucane, the Maker and Modeler, as they are called, when they remade the nature of the people they had made. Then Heart of Sky blew mist into their eyes. Their eyes clouded over, like the face of a mirror when someone breathes on it. Their eyes grew dim. Now they could see only what was near. Only what was close around them was clear.
