In the midst of the stone age, Africa. The sung god, Heiya, and the moon goddess, Mecenha, got into an argument one day when the moon was going down and the sun was going up about who was more important. Then they decided that they would both stop shining for one day's time. The sun god stopped the sun from coming up an entire day. Everyone woke up to a dark dark day; the villagers weren't able to sew the seeds and water the crops. They burned all the oil they had in their lamps during the day to complete the tasks of everyday life. They had none left during the night, where the moon didn't shine, and took the stars with her. The moon never came up at night and so the sky was sad, and gloomy. The villagers couldn't have their autumn crop festival because the goddess they were worshiping hadn't shown up that night. She had deserted them. It was an entirely too sad day for everyone in the village, because it was dark and scary. There was no hope during the day and the night was tainted with bitterness.
Meanwhile, the other gods gathered in the river of eternal life, Xambiz, argued with each other about the foolishness of the sun and moon gods. The god of eternity, Bellocta, called the sun and moon gods before her and showed them what great chaos they had created on Earth without light. The gods were ashamed and realized, with great sadness, that they had endangered the humans they were supposed to protect. They realized that just because they were different didn't mean they weren't equally as important.
