can you tell me the tail of Quetzalcoatl? i dont know all of it

Well, here's the version I'm making: Quetzelcoatl is the embodiment of goodness in Aztec myth, (comparable to Christ- born of a virgin, died for the sake of humanity, etc etc). The World as we know is is created and destroyed four times, mostly at the hands of Quetzalcoatl and his opposite, the shapeshifting God of Thunder and Magic, Tezcatilopoca. After the fourth destruction, a flood, "Q" decides to rise the sun from the sea and re-create the Earth. Then all the Gods can come down from the sky and live on Earth again. "T" is very upset by this and jealous of how much the other gods love Q. So T uses his magic to transform Q into a human body. (Described as pale and attractive) As soon as he is human, he is overcome by physical weakness and temptation. He refuses to be seen by anyone except his best friend, the Coyote God Xolotl, who is very clever and makes a mask and feather cloak for Q to wear to disguise himself as a feathered serpent again. So Q is happy again, and goes back outside. T sees what happened and gets very upset. He brews up some pulque (basically really strong mexican booze) and gives it to Q, who as a human cannot resist it's intoxication. T persuades the drunk-ass Q to sleep with his sister. When Q wakes up he is so ashamed that he builds a funeral pyre and sets himself on fire to atone for his sin. When he falls into Mictlan (Aztec hell/afterlife) he sees all the bones of the people who died in the previous four worlds. So making a deal with the King and Queen of Mictlan, he carries the bones back to Earth and sprinkles his blood on them, bringing them all back to life. Yay, humanity is recreated. After that he sails off into the sunset on a raft made of snakes, promising to return someday.

Which was why when Cortes, who was pale, came to Mexico, he get such a warm welcome. Too bad for the Aztecs that he came to steal their wealth and kill them. *tear*
