Weasel And Hueymakt Make A Trade

This is a story of ancient time, long before the sun stopped in the sky and cursed us all. Long before the sun was freed by Dewey Windrake from Hell. Long before the Darktime, to the time before Freedom was lost. To the start of the Godswar.

This story starts with Weasel Windsfool, the Trickster. Once, as he walked upon the earth, he came upon the Black Pool. In this pool he saw three beautiful Black Swan maidens swimming. Weasel's penis grew stiff on seeing the eldest maiden, and said "This is a woman for me! Take me to her!" Weasel looked at the eldest maiden and saw she was very powerful and wise. He knew she would not willingly lay with him. He spoke to his penis, saying "If you want her, you must go to her yourself, in secret, for I cannot be the one to bring you to her."

With that, Weasel removed his penis and watched as it made it's way to the pool. Weasel's penis slipped into the water and swam like a snake to the eldest maiden and began copulating with her. The younger maidens did not know what was wrong with their older sister when she began moving around in the water and making strange sounds. When they saw what was happening, they grabbed Weasel's penis and tried to pull it out. When they could not, the eldest sister said "Take me back home. Our mother will know what to do." And the maidens and maid all disappeared into the dark depths of the Black Pool.

Now, with the maid's words, Weasel forgot all about his pleasure and became worried. He did not know who the mother of the Black Swan maidens was, but he did know he did not want to live his life without his penis. Weasel dove into the pool and followed the maidens down into the Dark Waters. In this way, Weasel came to find his first way into Hell. There, he was met by Styx, the Mother of Black Waters, who had already removed his penis from her daughter. Styx said to Weasel, "You have done a bad thing, both in what you did to my daughter and in coming here. You must now be punished for this." Styx then called upon her sister Subere, who helped to twist Weasel's penis into a terrible thing.

After leaving Hell with his broken, twisted penis, Weasel met up with Grandfather Mortal. Weasel had tricked Grandfather Mortal in the past, and had used his penis on him before. Weasel tried to do so again, hoping this would straighted his penis out and make it work again. Instead, he felt nothing and Grandfather Mortal cried out in great pain and died. He told Weasel,"You have killed me. Now I must go to Hell," and left. Weasel was frightened by this, and began a great wailing.

Hueymakt heard Weasel's crying, and went to him. "Why are you crying so?" asked Hueymakt. Weasel answered "I have done something to Grandfather Mortal, who has changed into a new thing I do not understand." Hueymakt said to Weasel, "Take me to Hell, so that I can see this new thing for myself." Together they went to the Black Pool, and together they went to Hell. This was how Hueymakt first came to Hell.

Once in Hell, it took a long time to find Grandfather Mortal. When they found him, Hueymakt looked at Grandfather Mortal and tried all of his magics on him. Hueymakt said to Weasel, "There is nothing I can do to help Grandfather Mortal. But, I am interested in what your broken penis did to him, for it is powerful magic. I will you trade my working penis for your broken penis." Weasel quickly agreed, for his only thought was for the future pleasures he would lose without a penis. This is how Hueymakt gave up his own powers of procreation and sexual pleasure to have the power now called Death.
