Mawi the Demi god.
SOPHIE’S FLUTE
Mawi, the demi-god of the West was fond of its inhabitants and gave them all they needed. But in a bid to give them more, he ventured into the den of Nitiri to steal her Mantle of Order. Though he succeeded, he ended up allowing Nitiri to vent her godlike anger on its inhabitants.
The elders summoned Mawi into the courtroom of the king to ascertain how they could return the Mantle. There was one problem though, the mantle cannot be returned without a sacrifice. Since Nitiri has not been offended before, no one knew what her request could be.
With all hope seemingly lost, a girl named Sophie believes she can tame the unpredictability of Nitiri. She approached the courtroom and spoke of the melodies she can arrange with her flute that can calm Nitiri. Inspite of their unbelief, they sent her alongside Mawi.
On arriving the den, she began to spin melodious tunes that touched Nitiri, while she calmed down, Mawi installed the Mantle in its place placating Nitiri. In turn, she was able to restore order to the West. From then on Sophie became the priestess of Nitiri and her flute, her symbol.
The warrior tribes of Djibouti were at war with one another. All wanted to prove its superiority over the other. So it was agreed that each tribe should select a seasoned warrior to battle the others in order to determine the best tribe.
On the agreed date, all came with strong agile men who were men of renown. But Zizou brought a pretty woman, Sophie, as its representative. All were shocked as well as mocked. When the battle was about to begin, Sophie began to play a flute spinning the melody of love and gyration.
Before long, all the tribes were dancing to the melody and relieving themselves of their swords, knives and hate. Then Sophie suddenly stopped playing her flute, to the shame of all, found themselves in each other’s embrace. They soon saw that there was strength in numbers and that behind the seeming hate they truly loved each other.
