As they blossomed into womanhood, their bond was tested by a time of great peril. A bitter drought had withered the pastures of the Oromo, turning the sweet grasses to dust. Neighboring tribes, desperate and starving, pressed hard against the borders, threatening to scatter the clans to the winds. The people were divided, arguing over scarce water holes and dwindling herds, forgetting the sacred laws of Safuu—the moral order and respect that bound humanity to Waaqa and to one another.
They were Ajetu and Ashetu, twin sisters born under a rare conjunction of twin stars. From the moment they drew their first breaths, the elders whispered that their souls were woven from the same thread of destiny. They grew not as two separate beings, but as the reflection of the same spirit—Ajetu, the fierce protector whose heart burned like the hearth fire; Ashetu, the tranquil visionary whose mind was deep and vast like the night sky.
Long before the calendar of the modern world marked the ages, in the lush, green highlands of Oromia where the mist kisses the peaks of Mount Tullu Dimtu, the earth was young and breathless. It was a time when the Creator, Waaqa, walked close to the world, and the destiny of a great people hung upon the courage of two women.
