When The Sun Loved The Moon

The mighty Mexicas believed that the rising of the sun depended on human sacrifice. Bodies drained of their blood and beating hearts ripped through flesh would feed the Gods. Through human sacrifice, the world would be saved and life would continue. Nothing is capable of cheating time or death, or so it is believed. The Gods held a deep secret that would allow them immortality so long as they drank from mortals, Love. The Gods knew that mortals were vessels of such miracle and power, they craved it. They thirsted for it. The Gods must have known one day the blood would stop flowing and all that would remain would be the bones of their memory. But, the Gods are too clever to be forgotten, they knew the day would come and they prepared for it. The Gods do not give up easily nor would they allow their memory to fade.
