“And once the Lord of Mictlan said to his messengers, 'O gods, Quetzalcoatl is in fact carrying off the jade bones! Gods, go dig a pit.' Then they went to dig it, so that Quetzalcoatl fell down into it. He was startled by a covey of quail and fell down as though dead, scattering the jade bones across the ground and the quail nibbled and pecked at them. Soon Quetzalcoatl revived; he began to weep and said to his nahual, 'How can this be?' His nahual answered, 'As it must. Things have gone wrong but let us go on.”
