Myth 03 | Tayal Tribe: Two Suns

A long time ago, there were two suns in the sky. The two suns took turns rising, leaving the land exposed to intense sunlight for extended periods. Rivers dried up, crops couldn't grow, and people struggled to live. So, the tribe decided to shoot down one of the suns. Three warriors set out, carrying three newborn children on their backs. They chased the suns, but the suns were too far away. After walking for a long time, the three warriors grew old and eventually died on their journey. However, the children they carried on their backs had grown up. These children then took over the mission and continued to advance towards the suns. After a long journey, they finally reached their destination. One of them raised a bow and arrow and shot towards the sun. The arrow struck one of the suns. The blood that flowed from the sun turned into stars in the sky, and the wounded sun lost its original dazzling radiance, eventually becoming the moon. From then on, only one sun remained in the sky. The daytime became bright again, and the night was illuminated by the moon.
