The cruel Miquiztetl was a deity from the underworld who tried to stop the dead from overcoming the trials of the nine regions. Their journey lasted 4 years, before arriving in Mictlán.
A skillful warrior and the twin sister of the God of Dreams, she attacked those who descended into the world of the dead and terrified them with her fierce and skeletal body. She attacked with her weapons and made them fall into different traps that they had to overcome, before going through the nine levels that blocked their access to Mictlan.
After a long journey through the underground regions, the dead had to get rid of their fears, avoid traps, and tricks by Miquiztetl, to prove that they were capable of freeing their Tonalli (soul) from all the burdens or flaws. They would finally arrive in front of the lord and mistress of death: Mictlantecuhtli and Mictlancíhuatl, rulers of the underworld, who would allow the dead to leave behind all the pain that they had carried during their whole lives and then finally resting.
