The Children of the Clouds

The story begins with the realm of the gods, where the Lord of the Clouds gathered his people. He sent his son, Wind, to spread the clouds like seeds, fertilizing the land. From the clouds descended the Cloud People, the ancestors of the Mixtecs, who sought a homeland where they could establish their roots.

The Quest for a Home

Led by their wise leader, Lady Seven Serpent, the Cloud People wandered the earth in search of a place to call their own. They encountered the fierce Jaguar People, the enigmatic Bee People, and the cunning Rabbit People, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Through trials and tribulations, the Cloud People learned the importance of unity, perseverance, and the power of adaptability.

The Birth of the Mixtecs
