ot
Long ago, the good and evil Gods lived in harmony.
Gugurang controlled fire and thus controlled the
people. Whenever the people disobeyed his orders
or wishes, he would cause the pit of the Mayon
Volcano to rumble terribly. The people in time took
this as a sign of warning or else Gugurang will make
the volcano erupt. Asuang, on the other hand
doesnt have enough control over his people
Pl
ot Out of jealousy, Asuang begged Gugurang for fire. The
latter knew Asuangs intention was to gain favor by giving
it to the people. He was angered by his brothers
ambition and lust for power. Asuang threated his brother
that he will steal it.
War started between the two Gods.
Asuang gathered around him evils to turn the people to
evil ways.
