Star-crossed lovers
There are two volcanoes outside of Mexico City: one dormant called Itstax Seawirl, and the other very active known as Popo Catepiro. These volcanoes are said to be star-crossed lovers who couldn't be together in life. Popo Catepiro was a brave warrior and the most eligible bachelor in the tribe. He fell in love with Bajo Estác Seawirl, a beautiful girl who happened to be the daughter of the tribe's chief. Despite their love, their union was impossible. In the end, Popo Catepiro died in battle, and upon learning of his death, Bajo Estác Seawirl died of a broken heart. Their bodies were transformed into the mountains, and now Popo Catepiro occasionally erupts to announce his eternal love.
