Huitzilopochtli and Coyolxauhqui -

The God of War, who acts as the Sun, Huitzilopochtli was threatened by his sister, Coyolxauhqui, Goddess of the Moon, when he was yet to be born. Along with her hundreds of siblings, the Gods of the Stars, Coyolxauhqui went to attack Huitzilopochtli on the day of his birth. When he came out of his mother’s womb, he flew with a snake covered in flames and beheaded and killed her, then proceeded to slay the rest of the Star Gods.
