At first, all was black. All animated beings lived in darkness. Quetzalcóatl, the great wise one, met Huitzilopochtli. Quetzalcóatl commanded: "Let it shine!" And Huitzilopochtli, the life-giver, emanated his radiance like the sun. The sun, Huitzilopochtli's radiance, illuminated the earth. Quetzalcóatl created the moon and the stars, thus he adorned the sky. Nights and days, these two gods first created them. With this light, all living beings rejoiced. Quetzalcóatl and Huitzilopochtli completed the earth.
— The balance between light and shadow brings joy and life to the world.
