When Huitzilopochtli had defeated his brothers, the Huitznahua, and their sister, Coyolxauhqui, he took the costume ornaments of warriors from them: paper ornaments, paper headdress, and perhaps the little bells. The Nahuatl people said: " He took them as his own goods, he took them as his own property, he assumed them as his due, as if taking the insignia to himself." And they replaced the feathers of childhood that decorated his head when he was born.
