2. The story of the hero twins began with a pair of twins, not the Hero Twins, but still twins. Their names were One Marksman and Seven Marksman. Woohoo! They were very loud when the played ball, and the Lords of Death were angry with them. How dare they disturb my eternal sleep?! Bring them here! Yes, Master
3. The Lords of Death decided to kill the two boys. One Marksman was buried under the ball game court, and they hung Seven Marksman’s skull to a gourd tree, warning others not to make them mad. One of their daughters, Blood Moon, found the skull. After it spit into her hand she became pregnant. Her father was very angry so she fled to the middleworld and was taken care of by the twins’ grandmother.
4. Blood Moon gave birth to twins, the Hero Twins. Their names were First Jaguar and Venus Lord. They found the ball game gear of their father and uncle and they became experts at the game. They disturbed the Lords of Death as well. The Lords of Death called them to the underworld and gave them a series of challenges they had to survive in each of the following houses in the following order. They did not complete all of the challenges, but they were able to make decoys and when the Lords looked out the window ,they were tricked.
5. In the bat house, a bat knocked Venus Lord’s head off, so First Jaguar carved a squash to look like Venus Lord’s head. In the morning, the Lords of Death challenged the Hero Twins to a ball game, using Venus Lord’s head as a ball. the twins played for a while, then First Jaguar called a time –out, while he switched out the squash with Venus Lord’s real head. The game continued, with the squash as a ball, so when one of the Lords of Death bumped the ball with his hip, squash splattered all over the field and the players. The Lords got very angry and they decided to kill the boys.
6. The boys heard their fate and got killed. The lords were told to grind their bones to dust, and throw the dust into the river. The twins soon came back to life and killed the Lords of Death.
