Deconstructing the Origin Story

VISAYAN ORIGIN STORY

Version 2.0

Magwayan and Kaptan live happily together and bear two children: Sikalak and Sikabay. Sikabay stays close to Kaptan and Sikalak assumes that they are having an affair. Sikalak loves his sister Sikabay, and is enraged by this. He convinces Magwayan to make Kaptan disappear, but unfortunately, he brings Sikabay with him.

One day Sikabay and Kaptan leave for the dark parts of the earth. After years of training, Sikalak travels to find Sikabay. Sikalak undergoes the 7 deadly challenges, a set of obstacles Magwayan and Kaptan unintentionally set up after years of sending messages to each other. After Sikalak defeats the 7 deadly challenges, he and Sikabay meet.

However, Kaptan is enraged and tells Sikalak that he and Sikabay can't be together because they are life and death respectively; having them together would cause chaos. Sikalak does it anyway, and they live together. But the children they bore each encompassed a trait from one of the challenges Sikalak went through and the 7 of them became the most dangerous creatures to ever walk among the earth: the first humans.
