“It was then that Wiracocha sent Illapa (Lightning) and Wayra (Wind) to fight them (in other variants of the myth, Wiracocha sends only Illapa to annihilate the mammoth serpents). The two beasts tried to attack the gods. However, both beasts were unsuccessful in their endeavor. Finding themselves at a disadvantage, in a futile attempt, the two Amarus tried to flee to a lagoon, but Illapa destroyed the shore and Wayra caused the water to overflow, causing the lagoon to dry up.”
