Carrying their children through the harsh elements, Ajetu and Ashetu labored side by side. When the time of delivery arrived, it was said that the sun paused in the sky and the fierce winds of the dry season suddenly ceased, replaced by a cool, fertile breeze.

Ajetu gave birth to sons who would become the fierce defenders of the land, the shields of the community. Ashetu gave birth to daughters and sons who would become the keepers of the law, the poets, the peacemakers, and the sages.
