@@Rico-hb1rz Kukulkan is the Mayan God Serpent. They are almost the same deity. Just like Roman and Greek mythology, they have the same gods with different names (Mars = Ares).
@@zacariasblanco9738 so do you just openly state falsities that fit your narrative and the way you wish things were lol you can't just rewrite history and saying stupid things like that make you seem so ignorant

Agreed, im from guatemala and the aztecs are literally my ancestors and I honestly wish i could see my culture be used to inspire things like this more
@@neileapenninan8706 probably both, the Aztecs were a relatively recent development but the god states they basically saw the rise of humanity from what sounds like homo erectus or even earlier. Its likely the god moved continents the same way native American populations did since they said they moved to where humans weren't, and just doesn't have a concept of continents.
i love these creepypastas that don’t follow the popular pasta formula. they’re all short stories in their own and it’s very easy to see how any of these stories could be turned into a feature length film. narrator, played by The Dark Somnium!
This story wasn't scary... it was a bittersweet story. I would like to hear more stories like these, a sorrow filled story, or a bittersweet, or something like this. It beautiful to hear and read along.
The way you read the stories the way you put your feelings in it the way you use the perfect music makes the story a masterpiece and for our mind to go deep into it
That was in a word phenomenal. To actually bring to life a mythological god was a fantastic idea. I don’t think that I’ve ever heard of someone trying this out and doing so well with it. I mean except for the original story writers. Quetzalcoatl was one of a few of the mesoamerica gods that I am far with, though my knowledge of mythology is more on the Greek and Roman gods. Thank you for this fantastic story and narration.
What are you talking about ahmed ali? Historians know a hell of a lot about quetzalcoatl, or as the Maya knew him: kukulkan. Many mesoamerican civilizations knew the feathered serpent.
That indeed is the s art part. The road we as The human race her on, is in fact the scary part. I'm not sure the road could have been changed with our previous ignorance but now that our eyes are open it is scary that we do not change the path.
wait but how did it make a home? this story from the beginning made it sound like a disabled person whose legs did not function. also sorry for the ping a year later hehe...
@@RepeatSwitch my guess is as mythology goes, the author was presenting him as a "deformed" or disabled reptile creature. Not having legs, there for having to scrawl vs Slither. It's a long shot but that's what I took away from it.
This is a really profound story. I'm not embarrassed to admit I cried a little at the end. And for it to be told from Quetzalcoatl’s point of view? This is a gem. I don't know how else to describe it. It just touched my heart so deeply.
This was very beautiful and sad at the same time. You are the best narrator, Dark Somnium, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for providing us with your work.
Well said! I believe the greatest tragedy was his immortality. The “forest” was only as beautiful as he saw it to be, for as her grew and aged, he saw less of the goings on and only the forest as a whole. Within the forest was a menagerie of struggle and pain, just like when he was a mortal snake. The forest would have disappeared regardless due to climate and time. The same concept of “beauty” could be applied to the frozen world of the greatest ice age, or the volcanic wonder of a pre-protozoan earth. Quetzalcoatl had to suffer the loss of his reality and his beauty. Yes we humans have and will continue to do some really shitty things, but even our most beautiful creations would come at the cost of his forest, and thus would always create pangs of regret for an age and time where he was in line with the beauty he saw, a time that could never return, for even without humans, his massive size made him a threat to his own forest. Beautiful! Multilayered and complex!
I've listened to this several times over. It's an amazing story... and though it's fantasy, I'm glad you included it in a creepypasta. I could listen to this over and over... just something about it grabs my ear :).
@@proatbeingnub9945 technically we always use the sun at night because the moon reflects the light of the sun back at us and that's why we actually see the moon instead of the seemingly endless dark cold vacuum that is space.
Stop burning the Amazon coz Quetzalcoatl is sad. In all seriousness, great story, something to be proud of. If nothing else old Q is a personification of old things, pure things, and beautiful things. We should tread carefully and with deliberation in the understanding that the old and beautiful things cannot simply be replaced. .
i have been listening to your narrations for 1 year now and honestly you have helped me in a weird way you have helped me overcome honestly issues in my life and even today you helped me cause i was looking for a narration of yours cause i was feeling a down today and no one out of knowhere notification saying How i became a god and well i loved it and helped me thank you
Damn... this is a really good story. I love when people take a new look at old mythology and folklore and write things that resonate with modern people
Snake gods really are more benevolent than people think. Snakes in general are really more chill than people admit. My snakes...I need them. I keep trying to present them as emotional support. How they coil gently when rested with, how they relax with me when I watch movies or play video games, how they just chill on my person when I go for a walk. I just wish there was more media showing these creatures in positive light, it seems fairly...constant. It's still awkwardly a barricade of sorts to some people. One that I can't fathom, nor comprehend.
Yeah I completely agree, snakes are some of the most amazing pets. I haven't had one since I was a kid, but I've always enjoyed their company. The unfortunate thing is that people are biased and they hate things not because they're bad bit because they've been conditioned to do so
We have an innate fear of snakes and spiders, much like most other mammals. This is demonstrated in tests with human children, and the behavior exists in our closest primate ancestors. You’ve overcome millennia of evolution to feel comfortable around snakes and you are indeed the outlier among people. It’s pretty reasonable to expect people to be uncomfortable around them.
The Jaguar was Tezcatlipoca, not quite sure about the bird ... perhaps the bird was the previous Qetzalcoatl, since I think Tezcatlipoca and Qetzalcoatl fighting and one or the other winning signified something akin to the beginning of a new world? No mention of his brother Xolotl or any other deities, though.
The idea is this is the "real story", people met him thought the ages and the myths around him grew and changed. So the other deities from the religion might be additions that humans made.
the bird is what we call a Quetzal, was a bautiful bird hunting by its feathers. you can google it. Now for those who doeant know, Quetzalcoatl litteraly means, Serpent with feathers, that is why that serpet by eating the egg of the Quetzal, became a serpet qith feathers. became Quetzalcoatl.
The moment the words "feathered serpent" were uttered I was like "Holy shit, its Quetzalcoatl!!!" The bird in the story is the Quetzal bird! Or an ancient ancestor of it! Look up the pyramid of Chichen Itza, there's a REALLY cool effect where if you clap in certain places near it it sounds like the cry of a bird. Also the famous shadow play of the pyramid at every Equinox. This is SUCH a cool pasta and I'm in love with it. Up there in my favorites!!!!
I'm tagging this in my to do list once all this virus travel restriction ends, my friend. I hope to see the place someday and learn more abt the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl.
@@redlady120 Same. I want to go there one day...I love Mesoamerican culture and architecture. Their skills with Astronomy were (pun intended) out of this world! Look up videos of the pyramid, its so beautiful.
I was listening to this and got lil bits that made me think of a Central American god, like Quetzalcoatl and when he said it at the end I actually got excited for that reveal. I love stories of old gods reimagined, especially ones as tragic and empathetic as this one was.
I loved this, just a beautifully tragic tale of an immeasurably old giant being making its way through the world. Being able to hear its perspective of us, the little people, and how we taught it many things and sadly kept breaking its heart. It was all so powerful.
This one and 'Listen to the sounds of your own extinction' are my FAVORITES!!! Your voice and the ambient music and sounds you have in your readings just pull me into the story so we'll it's truly like I'm there!!! Thank you so much for what you do. I listen to your videos all the time and they help me out a lot especially because I'm alone. It's like having someone with me, so thank you thank you thank you!
On walk to work starting at 4:40 am,pitch black, damp air and a cold that shivered through my exhausted bones. I expected this story to be one of fire and fear as a lot of them seem to be as such... but this one made me feel like I was less alone,it brought tears to my eyes and no longer am I crawling through the mud. Thank you everyone who was a part of this storytelling / video 💙
The Dark Somnium I’m also a New Listener and I’m really enjoying the stories as well. My friends think I’m demented because I listen to creepy scary stories like Dr. Creepin, and CreepyPasta’s stories.
Absolute phenomenal story. It’s not even correct to even label these as creepypastas as they’re not scary, but instead thought provoking dives into these unique being’s perspectives, be it Gods, AI, Spirits or Devils. The character driven stories, the existential ones, these are my favourite stories that find a deeper meaning through all the doom and gloom, rather than falling for the trappings of mindless scares or gore.
I love the tangible feeling of disconnect he slowly begins to experience as the environment becomes less an environment and more of an observable garden that he can no longer really interact with. This was great!
Whoever the author is did an awesome job! It's been a while that a story evoked any emotion in me, and this one just made me sad in a good way. Not going to lie, I thought it would turn out to be a giant earthworm.
Coming back to some videos, like the classic ones, ur voice is always soothing. Keep going please. Been here since 20k, ur almost at 500k. Its very fun to see you keep growing.
My personal opinion. This is by far my favorite story. It's so creative how The author took a Mayan legend and gave a real face to it. There is so much about the earth we barely, know especially the oceans. One can only hope that's such a mythical being still exist.
What a wonderful story! Quite an analogy for our world today. As always your voice, and production were stellar. Thank you, so much for sharing your vision with us!
I guess I should have known this was a Quetzalcoatl story. Should have been obvious from the start that it was a snake and not a human or a monkey of some form. Great creepypasta, probably one of the best I've heard recently; not scary but it had a great plot and lesson throughout it and at the end.
dude what the i just finished listening to it but i can barely read, i have tears in my eyes kajsdhf omg this is making me think so much ;; amazing story, amazing narration, amazing editing everything is on point!
Another fascinating reinterpretation of traditional tropes. Humanizing a godlike figure instead of positioning them as eldritch or ambiguous. A misunderstood but benign anomaly, no different than us, but vastly different than us. Amazing.
This story came out at such a perfect time for me. I've been out of touch with nature for a few years now when I used to rock climb, camp, hike, etc back in my home country. I've only recently started getting back out again and rediscovering the outdoors, working through unfamiliar grounds and appreciating nature. This has definitely given great perspective on our place here on earth. Great story Brittonrt! Awesome quality as always DS! You've made me seriously consider trying my hand at creepypasta narration, I've always loved telling stories.
My heart swelled at the ending. Masterful storytelling. I"ve been watching you for years and it's crazy to see how quality even these old videos are. You are one of the best storytellers on this site. Your music and ambiance draws me in unlike anything else.
From the very first few sentences I was imagining a little garter snake (bc I love snakes sooo much, and they live together), but then a jaguar happened so I was trying to think of what other kind of snake farther south to imagine, and as the story went on, I was like, "wait, this actually IS a snake!!" I was so excited, even though this is such a heartbreaking story. What a great and somber narration to pair with it, too!
THIIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORIES I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. I CRIED AT THE END, AND IT TAKES A HELL OF A LOT FOR ONE OF THESE STORIES TO MAKE ME FEEL ANY TEARS FALL. MY SORROW FOR THIS EARTH IS UNFATHOMABLE :(
I have to say, I have watched all of your narrated stories and most of other channels like yours. Even though I have heard countless others this one still sticks out as my favorite and occupies a special place in my heart. Please keep up the amazing work!
I can't get enough of your videos! Especially these with a twisty ending like Quetzalcoatl?! Are you kidding me?! I did not see that coming! I've even come up with my own creepy stories based from your videos! Keep up the great work!
This is so wholesome and motivating at the same time. A story from Aztec mythology on how times come and go pass. From sacrafices to the destructive nature of the little people being us. Love your stories brother please keep up with your amazing content 🙏
That was the best "No Sleep" story I have ever listened to. I only say "No Sleep" because instead of being scary it was mysterious and deep. Honestly one of the best short stories I've ever seen. I was absolutely captivated the entire time. Bravo! I'm definitely recommending this to some people.
this story made me so sad. it was so beautifully written yet so heart breaking hearing his perspective and the death and destruction that he witnessed. this one was a real masterpiece
Wow. That one hits hard and true. Excellent story. I love the ones which linger in heart and thought long after the story is read. This is now one such as those for me. Ty
This video had me enthralled from start to finish so thank you very much for the enjoyment. The descriptive language and pacing of the individual who said it all into a mic had me so immersed that I felt that the least I could do was express my enjoyment of it. I'll be merrily awaiting more of your content. Thanks for the top tier enjoyment and hopefully I'll hear more like it for ya bud :)
This has me emotional in a strange amd powerful way. Tieing in one of my favorite mythos with a beautiful story and ecological concerns has me in a mood. As always, a great narration, thank you!

You are one of the observant people
That's actually a cool twist to the story of Quetzalcoatl. To make it look like they're just a simple being who happens to become a god.
So thats why the rivers looks like a traveling snake. It’s cause that’s the trail he left behind as he ventured further into the jungle.

This story is genuinely beautiful....the idea of seeing the world from the eyes of a god just to find out hes as scared and alone as the rest of us.
It's funny that during the whole story I pictured a giant man walking around and sleeping in the earth.

Oh my gosh, I LOVED this one. Oh man. What a great choice of story. Thank you!! This just became an instant favorite.
I loved this, just a beautifully tragic tale of an immeasurably old giant being making its way through the world. Being able to hear its perspective of us, the little people, and how we taught it many things and sadly kept breaking its heart. It was all so powerful.
This one and 'Listen to the sounds of your own extinction' are my FAVORITES!!! Your voice and the ambient music and sounds you have in your readings just pull me into the story so we'll it's truly like I'm there!!! Thank you so much for what you do. I listen to your videos all the time and they help me out a lot especially because I'm alone. It's like having someone with me, so thank you thank you thank you!
Yeah that one was really good
On walk to work starting at 4:40 am,pitch black, damp air and a cold that shivered through my exhausted bones. I expected this story to be one of fire and fear as a lot of them seem to be as such... but this one made me feel like I was less alone,it brought tears to my eyes and no longer am I crawling through the mud. Thank you everyone who was a part of this storytelling / video 💙
I can imagine Quetzalcoatl in his cave binge watching Friends on a little TV set.
POV: you are queen Elizabeth
LMAOOOOOO
Yeah, here's the thing, there where six egs before he arived
Shes not quite a god yet, but she is an immortal
If she had the best high of her life then passed out, saw this, woke up and went like whoooaaa you need to hit this Derek
who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science
Hey man, I've been listening to your channel for months now and it helped me through my studies. Keep on doing your work, man! You're my favorite!
im so honored i can help at all! :) thank you!
The Dark Somnium I’m also a New Listener and I’m really enjoying the stories as well. My friends think I’m demented because I listen to creepy scary stories like Dr. Creepin, and CreepyPasta’s stories.
I now wanna draw the ending scene as I see it in my head. This is such a beautiful story
That last line always brings a tear to my eye, amazing job!!
god this is a good one, more similar to this please.
It kinda reminds me of that flash game where you play as a stone totem head guy and you have 10,000 years I think to stop the end of the world.
That's sounds cool, I wonder what game it is
I’m pretty sure the game you’re talking about is called 400 years.
Its so sad
Absolute phenomenal story. It’s not even correct to even label these as creepypastas as they’re not scary, but instead thought provoking dives into these unique being’s perspectives, be it Gods, AI, Spirits or Devils.
The character driven stories, the existential ones, these are my favourite stories that find a deeper meaning through all the doom and gloom, rather than falling for the trappings of mindless scares or gore.
I love the tangible feeling of disconnect he slowly begins to experience as the environment becomes less an environment and more of an observable garden that he can no longer really interact with. This was great!
Quetzalcoatl has always been... benevolent.
Someone should tell him about nature preserves and national parks, might brighten his day a little
Nope it wouldnt

You're voice helps me relax when I'm wound tight and depressed. Thank you.
im sorry to hear you are feeling that way, im honored i can help in anyway. if you need someone to talk to dont hesitate to reach out :)
Damn some how I feel like like you meant that the dark
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this it always brings a tear to my eye
Had me ENTHRALLED just amazing stories that make my mind go to place I could never dream of... just amazing... I'm left in awe

Whoever the author is did an awesome job! It's been a while that a story evoked any emotion in me, and this one just made me sad in a good way.
Not going to lie, I thought it would turn out to be a giant earthworm.
Literally the music in the background can sometimes help give such an emotional impact that I can feel a shiver going through my body
Coming back to some videos, like the classic ones, ur voice is always soothing. Keep going please. Been here since 20k, ur almost at 500k. Its very fun to see you keep growing.
thank you so much :)
@@Darksomnium hey man, you’ve earned it all.
My personal opinion.
This is by far my favorite story. It's so creative how The author took a Mayan legend and gave a real face to it. There is so much about the earth we barely, know especially the oceans. One can only hope that's such a mythical being still exist.
What a wonderful story! Quite an analogy for our world today. As always your voice, and production were stellar. Thank you, so much for sharing your vision with us!
I guess I should have known this was a Quetzalcoatl story. Should have been obvious from the start that it was a snake and not a human or a monkey of some form. Great creepypasta, probably one of the best I've heard recently; not scary but it had a great plot and lesson throughout it and at the end.
The story is just so somehow you make it feel so lively your narrating skills and the music is unlike anything i have ever heard
thank you so much :)
The music… absolutely beautiful. The piano melody at the end broke my heart.
One of your best stories yet.
dude what the
i just finished listening to it but i can barely read, i have tears in my eyes kajsdhf
omg this is making me think so much ;;
amazing story, amazing narration, amazing editing
everything is on point!
Another fascinating reinterpretation of traditional tropes. Humanizing a godlike figure instead of positioning them as eldritch or ambiguous.
A misunderstood but benign anomaly, no different than us, but vastly different than us. Amazing.
This story came out at such a perfect time for me. I've been out of touch with nature for a few years now when I used to rock climb, camp, hike, etc back in my home country. I've only recently started getting back out again and rediscovering the outdoors, working through unfamiliar grounds and appreciating nature. This has definitely given great perspective on our place here on earth. Great story Brittonrt! Awesome quality as always DS! You've made me seriously consider trying my hand at creepypasta narration, I've always loved telling stories.
This is genuinely such a good tale, and it’s nice to come across it every now and then ❤️
thank you jacey :)
My heart swelled at the ending. Masterful storytelling. I"ve been watching you for years and it's crazy to see how quality even these old videos are. You are one of the best storytellers on this site. Your music and ambiance draws me in unlike anything else.
This is really well written. Better than many authors i would say.
This isn't even scary anymore, this is just sad tbh
This story is a piece on why to stay healthy and eat your eggs!
There a great source of protein and other needed nutrients while maintaining low calories
From the very first few sentences I was imagining a little garter snake (bc I love snakes sooo much, and they live together), but then a jaguar happened so I was trying to think of what other kind of snake farther south to imagine, and as the story went on, I was like, "wait, this actually IS a snake!!" I was so excited, even though this is such a heartbreaking story. What a great and somber narration to pair with it, too!
Your channel always brings the highest emotions for me. Thank you so much for making this one
Glad you enjoy it!

THIIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORIES I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. I CRIED AT THE END, AND IT TAKES A HELL OF A LOT FOR ONE OF THESE STORIES TO MAKE ME FEEL ANY TEARS FALL. MY SORROW FOR THIS EARTH IS UNFATHOMABLE :(
The way the God talks, like so full of anguish and hopelessness that he seems on the verge of teara. It broke my heart
I have to say, I have watched all of your narrated stories and most of other channels like yours. Even though I have heard countless others this one still sticks out as my favorite and occupies a special place in my heart. Please keep up the amazing work!
I can't get enough of your videos! Especially these with a twisty ending like Quetzalcoatl?! Are you kidding me?! I did not see that coming! I've even come up with my own creepy stories based from your videos! Keep up the great work!
Stories abaut Mesoamerican mythology are one of the Best and one of the least popular, still, amazing video!
I know this is an old comment but do you know any other videos like this because they are amazing to listen to while trying to fall asleep
Your voice carries so much emotion. It's lovely, calming.
Thank you! 😊
this story was so so beautiful, i love learning about mesoamerican culture and the reveal at the end made me so happy
This is so wholesome and motivating at the same time. A story from Aztec mythology on how times come and go pass. From sacrafices to the destructive nature of the little people being us. Love your stories brother please keep up with your amazing content 🙏
That was the best "No Sleep" story I have ever listened to. I only say "No Sleep" because instead of being scary it was mysterious and deep. Honestly one of the best short stories I've ever seen. I was absolutely captivated the entire time. Bravo! I'm definitely recommending this to some people.
Glad you enjoyed it!
*HAPPY SQUEAL*
AHHHH HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES I LOVED THIS 💜💜💜
The fact that he caused all of this because he decided to help them 😳
Really amazing story and narration!
First video I ever watched on this channel. A few months later im addicted
this story made me so sad. it was so beautifully written yet so heart breaking hearing his perspective and the death and destruction that he witnessed. this one was a real masterpiece
Wow. That one hits hard and true. Excellent story. I love the ones which linger in heart and thought long after the story is read. This is now one such as those for me. Ty
This video had me enthralled from start to finish so thank you very much for the enjoyment. The descriptive language and pacing of the individual who said it all into a mic had me so immersed that I felt that the least I could do was express my enjoyment of it. I'll be merrily awaiting more of your content. Thanks for the top tier enjoyment and hopefully I'll hear more like it for ya bud :)
Beautiful tale. I am ever so thankful to hear it from your voice!
You really give it the feeling it needs!
This has me emotional in a strange amd powerful way. Tieing in one of my favorite mythos with a beautiful story and ecological concerns has me in a mood. As always, a great narration, thank you!
Second time I've listened to this, but the last lines still made me tear up
I always love the booming music at the end. My favorite end song being the one from "I was dead for 6 minutes"
