Good and Evil
Sky woman's daughter gives birth to twin sons, one good and the other evil. While the good son is born in natural way, the evil jealous of his sibling's being born first pushes himself out his mother's side. The birth of twins marks the beginning of battle of good and evil on earth. They continue to fill the earth with their creations. Eventually the good defeats the evil, and banishes him in a pit under the earth. From this pit the evil twin sends emissaries that continue to bring evil into the world.

I wonder what's happening there? Is she just giving birth to good and evil?
