With his new servant Caxuh, Bo'gash wandered the swamp, instructing Caxuh in the ways of the upright predator. What soil would remedy a wound, what plant would poison a prey; all were shown to Caxuh. However, the two of them were not alone in the world.
Even as close as the World Serpent in the strange jungle beyond, a strange breed of creature arose. Their unnatural upper beauty was demented, in Bo'gash's eyes, by their legless forms. Each day from their settlement of Itza, they would wander closer and closer to Bo'gash's swampland; intruders! So Bo'gash schemed...
Taking from Caxuh's jaw a row of teeth, Bo'gash sowed them in the shallow waters facing the great sea. Caxuh watched in anticipation as the teeth hardened, growing softer and round. From these eggs burst the Gabu, the first of Bo'gash's people. Bo'gash's wisdom had created the first generation of Gabu in the image of his greatest predator. Delighted, Caxuh ventured far from the swamp, seeking out prey for his new kinsmen. He ventured into the jungle, slaying a few of the Snakemen that came too close and returning with their skins. Bo'gash accepted the gifts with gusto.
"These prey are foreign, and are more valuable than anything creature within my swamp. You have pleased me this day, Caxul."
With the Gabu, Bo'gash noticed how they felt the need to take residence with each other unlike their predecessors. From the sea coast near the great river, Bo'gash seeped to the earth, moving stone and rock alike to the surface. The earth rumbled, and the Gabu were in aw as the skeletal beginnings of the Gabu capital of Xuhanuin came to be.
"Here, I shall reside with you. And here, I shall accept your gifts, and give my blessings."
