Episode 2: The Jealousy of Onwa
As time passed, Onwa's envy of Anyanwu grew stronger. He began to believe that the world needed his light more than his sister's. One fateful night, when the sky was clear and bright with the full moon, Onwa approached Chukwu, the supreme deity.
"Great Chukwu," Onwa began, bowing low. "I seek your wisdom. Why is it that Anyanwu shines so brightly, while I, who rule the night, am left in the shadows? Can I not have the power to bring light to the day as well?"
Chukwu, ever wise, gazed down upon Onwa. "Each of you has a purpose, Onwa," he said. "Your sister brings life to the earth with her warmth, while you give rest and reflection. Both are necessary for the world to thrive."
But Onwa was not satisfied. "I want more than rest and reflection," he insisted. "I want the people to love me as they love Anyanwu."
Chukwu sighed, knowing that the young moon was struggling with his role. "Very well, Onwa. I will grant you the power to shine as brightly as the sun-but only for one night. You will be known as Onwa Anya Nkwo, the moon that burns like the sun. Let the people see what it is like to live in your light."
Overjoyed, Onwa returned to the sky that night, and true to Chukwu's word, he shone with a radiance as bright as Anyanwu's. The people below marveled at the sight of the moon glowing like the sun. They danced in the streets, celebrating the unusual night.
But as the hours passed, the people grew weary. The crops, which usually rested in the cool night, began to wither under the constant heat. The rivers, deprived of their nightly coolness, began to dry up. The animals that thrived in the moonlight hid in fear. What had once been a night of wonder turned into one of distress.
As dawn approached, Anyanwu watched from the horizon, her heart heavy with sorrow for her brother's actions. She knew that his desire to be loved had led him astray. When the time came for her to rise, she hesitated. She did not want to shame Onwa, but the land was suffering without her light.
With a deep breath, Anyanwu rose in the sky, her brilliant rays piercing through the fading light of Onwa. The people sighed in relief as the sun took its rightful place in the heavens, restoring balance to the earth.
