the fon people believe that the world was created by mawu and lisa, twin deities who could become a single entity as well a little while after creating people they began to fight among each other because people suck no matter how long ago it is and mawu asked the monkey awe to help her stop the conflict but awe turned out to be a huge asshole and instead ran around telling people that he was just as powerful as mawu and could create life too and because the people didnt know any better they believed him so mawu called him up the the heavens to prove it to her and he carved a person out of a tree and tried to breathe life into it but it just sat there he said hed go back to earth and tell everyone hed been lying, but mawu knew that was a huge lie too so she made him some porridge to fortify him for the trip back and slipped the seed of death into it awe didnt realize until hed eaten it all and when he went back to earth he carried the message that only mawu could give and take life

a little while after creating people they began to fight among each other
because people suck no matter how long ago it is
and mawu asked the monkey awe to help her stop the conflict
but awe turned out to be a huge asshole and instead ran around telling people that he was just as powerful as mawu and could create life too
and because the people didnt know any better they believed him
so mawu called him up the the heavens to prove it to her
and he carved a person out of a tree and tried to breathe life into it
but it just sat there
he said hed go back to earth and tell everyone hed been lying, but mawu knew that was a huge lie too
so she made him some porridge to fortify him for the trip back and slipped the seed of death into it
awe didnt realize until hed eaten it all
and when he went back to earth he carried the message that only mawu could give and take life
